The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 638 – The Scum Is Ill-Tempered

"Holy…! Are Wen Yan and Fei Yinzi monsters?! How many are this now the demons that they have taken down?!" the audience exclaimed as they watched in aghast Wen Yan and Fei Yinzi shooting down the demons that are approaching the place where they are resting.

Everyone understands that not only was Qi Lan injured, the other participants also needed to rest because it was their first time fighting against stronger demons earlier. If they fought a battle of attrition, then, they feared that the participants can only admit defeat.

But, the thing is, the demons won\'t not kill them even if they admit defeat! These demons want their lives!

"Look at that small hill of corpses!" one of the audience sighed in admiration as they watched Wen Yan and Fei Yinzi shoot a new waves of demons. "And not even one arrow has missed!" they added.

"But of course! Cheng Sheng, before, when he and his fellow disciples were young, Cheng Sheng proposed to his fellow disciples to compete in archery!" someone said.

"Really?! That happened?!" they exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes! You should all know how Cheng Sheng is…" he told them and grinned.

They all fell silent. Indeed, Cheng Sheng has many novel ideas thus his life has been… very interesting.

"The thing is, cultivators practices the way of the sword, if they won\'t become mages." That person continued. "But, Cheng Sheng was bored with the sword. So, he told his fellow disciples that he would teach them archery!" he told them.

"And they agreed?!" they asked.

"Of course they didn\'t!" that person answered. Before anyone could ask, he continued. "But, in the end, they learned." He said.

"How?!" they curiously asked.

That person grinned. "Cheng Sheng persuaded them, of course!" he said.

The other people heard them and they also gathered to listen.

"Cheng Sheng said that if one day, their sword breaks in the middle of the fight, what would they use to fight against the enemy, then?" that person asked.

The others also pondered over this question. But, since they aren\'t cultivators, they shrugged.

That person chuckled. "So, the Xinfaxian Sect disciples would always bring an extra qiankun pouch with them to store their weapons." He said, then paused. "Oh, I mean, other weapons." He clarified.

They are all in awe.

"So, everyone aside from Lei Ling and You Rou, who are mages, learned from Cheng Sheng the bow and arrow." That person said.

"What?! Including Lei Qing?!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"En. Including her. Don\'t underestimate the shijie of the Xinfaxian Sect!" that person said.

The audience looked at Wen Yan and Fei Yinzi in awe. There is no need to ask from whom these two disciples leaned archery. It was none other than Cheng Sheng.

…

"You Xinfaxian Sect… are really too much!" Sun Yu\'s lip twitched in annoyance as they watch Wen Yan and Fei Yinzi display their brilliance in archery.

"All thanks to xiao Sheng!" Xie Lan laughed proudly. "Don\'t you Shanliangde Sect also has guqin to use?" he asked.

Sun Yu scoffed as he rolled his eyes. "It is as inconvenient as bow and arrows!" he answered.

"Oh. So you know that it is really inconvenient?" Xie Lan\'s brows raised as he displayed a surprised expression, which couldn\'t be any more fake.

"You!" Sun Yi glared at Xie Lan.

"Now, now! Stop fighting!" Fan Wen, the mediator, said as he broke the two apart. "Xiao Sheng is resting!" he told them.

Xie Lan immediately shut up while Sun Yu chose a seat far away from Xie Lan. Fan Wen sighed in relief. The others helplessly smiled, don\'t know whether to laugh or cry at this frequent fight between Xie Lan and Sun Yu.

They already know that Xie Lan hates the Shanliangde Sect, no matter the leader. It is just that it was Sun Yu, this ill-tempered elder from the Sun Clan, became the sect leader. It was truly unexpected, but they know that Sun Yu is good. It is just that his fighting against Xie Lan is giving them headaches. So, they decided to just roll with this!

They couldn\'t stop them, anyway, and they wouldn\'t listen even if they manage to stop them so just let them fight! They can also watch a good show!

…

Back in the space.

"Huh? Qi Lan-ge! You are now awake!" Wen Wen exclaimed when they saw Qi Lan\'s eyes are open after they returned.

"Hm? Is he?" Li Yan asked, acting as if he didn\'t see the confession earlier.

…

The audience who are watching this. "…" his acting is really good! He should be in the Xinfaxian Sect instead! They thought, referring to the Xinfaxian Sect which is a sect of actors, with Cheng Sheng their leading actor.

Li Nanzi. "…" indeed, I should reconsider Yan-er\'s sect? he thought. His face is covered in black lines.

Kang Ce who knows that Li Yan is a fan of Cheng Sheng. "…" hehe.

…

"This should be them all." Wen Yan spoke as he lowered his bow.

"En." Fei Yinzi nodded as they looked at the hill of corpses blocking the road. Suddenly, he smelled something. "They are about to cook." He said.

"Then, let\'s go back." Wen Yan said as he placed the letter inside his sleeve.

It was a letter from Zhu Xi.

…

"Let me help you cut vegetables." He Shun told Wen Wen who is lighting the fire while Cui Xiao is washing the vegetables with Tang Li.

"Huh? But…" Wen Wen hesitated.

He Shun smiled. "Even if I am a young master, but I help in our home. No need to be so polite to me." He said as he picked up a knife from the utensils that Li Yan laid on the blanket, in preparation for them to cook.

This is one of the things the other sects are envious about with the Xinfaxian Sect and the Youxiwang Sect. They can even live in luxury in the competition with them bringing cooking utensils! You can see their luxurious life with their tents! It is not that the other sects haven\'t thought of this. But, they aren\'t like the Xinfaxian Sect, especially the Youxiwang Sect, who are very pampering towards their disciples. Besides, tents and cooking utensils would take up space. Instead of tents and cooking utensils, they would bring more magic pills and talismans with them as well as potions.

But, these things aren\'t needed by the Xinfaxian Sect and the Youxiwang Sect, since they can refine their own magic pills and potions, and make talismans. If they do not need to suffer, then why choose to suffer? They learned this from none other than Cheng Sheng! So, they brought tents and cooking utensils with them, which made the other sects really envy them!

Just look at the disparity!

…

"Ge!" Wen Wen cried when he saw Wen Yan and Fei Yinzi returned. "Er Zi…" he added with a smile. Now that he has faced his feelings towards Fei Yinzi, he doesn\'t feel awkward when talking to him anymore.

"En." Wen Yan nodded as he sat on the ground while Fei Yinzi helped arranging the pots.

"Zhu Xi sent a letter." Wen Yan spoke.

Their attention was immediately caught. Fei Yinzi also turned since he and Wen Yan hasn\'t read the letter yet because they were dealing with the demons when the letter arrived. Then, they immediately returned so that they can read it altogether.

Wen Yan slowly opened the letter, only for his face to darken when he read just the first sentence. "Fck…" he cursed as he clenched his fists, almost tearing the letter apart!

Everyone\'s hearts skipped a beat when they saw Wen Yan\'s dark face. They know that something serious has happened.

"The Shanliangde Sect, as well as Wu Tie… their conditions aren\'t good!" Wen Yan told them.

They were shocked. "What?!" they exclaimed.

"How can that be? Weren\'t they perfect fine when we left?" Tang Li asked. "Cui Xiang even said that they may wake up tonight." He said.

Wen Yan also can\'t find an explanation for this. But, since it was Zhu Xi who said this, he knows that it must be true. Cui Xiang is also there. "Anyhow, we have to go back!" he said.

"En!" they answered and immediately put out the fire and cleaned up the place.

"Er Zi, Tang Li, Li Yan and I would go find magic herbs on the way." Wen Yan said. "Wen Wen, He Shun, you help Qi Lan up. Cui Xiao, you watch their backs." He told them.

"Yes!" they answered.

"What about Chen Han\'s group?" Li Yan asked after he put the cooking utensils inside the qiankun pouch.

Wen Yan turned. "Zhu Xi didn\'t say anything about them. I reckon that they must still be tracking down the leader of the demons. Or – " he said as his face went serious.

They all looked at him.

"Or – " Wen Yan took a deep breath. " – they must be battling against it now.." He told them.
