The Scum Is A

It was actually Bai Tan who pulled Ke Lu's foot, making the other fall from the tree. After Bai Tan did his task, he turned to xiao Ling whose expression look indifferent. Bai Tan looked like he wanted to please xiao Ling after his previous offense of waking the other to save Ling Yun.

"So, this is that bastard who is peeping at me?" xiao Ling frowned as he walked towards Ke Lu. "How about I gorge his eyes out?" he asked and pointed the tip of his sword to Ke Lu's eye, just a few centimeters away which made Ke Lu coldly sweated.

"Xiao Ling. Don't dirty your hands just for a garbage like him." xiao Bao told xiao Ling. Although his tone is gentle, full of doting, his words are definitely not and are the exact opposite.

"Hmph! I am displeased!" xiao Ling said. His tone is like a child throwing a tantrum.

Xiao Bo helplessly smiled. "Then, what do you want to do?" he asked him.

"… what do you suggest that I should do?" xiao Ling asked back as he tilted his head as he pondered.

Ke Lu who has been ignored. "…" what the fck! Don't talk as if I am not here, and as if you are not talking about harming me right in front of my face! He thought and gnashed his teeth in anger when he tried to move but felt his ankle hurt. He had sprained his foot when he fell, and it was courtesy of Bai Tan.

Ke Lu wanted to rip this blanket with consciousness into pieces but xiao Bao and xiao Ling are here. He doesn't dare underestimate these two.

"Huh. He is still looking. I really want to gorge his eyes out of their sockets." Xiao Ling said and glared at Ke Lu who immediately looked away.

Xiao Bao smiled, but he has the same opinion as xiao Ling. He also want to pluck Ke Lu's eyeballs out since Ke Lu laid his eyes on xiao Ling. "Xiao Ling. He is still a participant and the most we could do is rob points from him." he finally said.

Everyone who heard what he said. "…" he really said 'rob'. They actually know that they are just bandits! They all thought.

Xiao Bao doesn't know what the audience thinks, much less he cared what they think. "But, as long as it wouldn't be detrimental, then…" he continued and looked at Ke Lu.

Ke Lu's pupils shrank. He has a bad feeling about this.

"… we can beat him up." xiao Bao told xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling. "…" this guy's thoughts are actually blacker than mine. He thought but happily agreed, sealing Ke Lu's fate.

Bai Tan that heard Ke Lu's cries as xiao Bai and xiao Ling beat Ke Lu up. "…" oh, my god! I knew that these two are devils! Help! Can anyone take me away from these two?! It thought and wanted to cry but it doesn't have eyes to shed tears.

But, the audience who are watching can't help but feel happy, feeling as if xiao Bao and xiao Ling vent their anger. The sect leaders are also pleased to see this foreign spy suffering.

Ke Lu naturally doesn't want to submit to these two! But, just as he was about to retaliate, xiao Bao followed after xiao Ling to beat him up, giving him no time to breathe. Ke Lu has lost his chance to escape earlier. He felt the muscles all over his body ache as he received punch after punch and kick after kick from xiao Bao and xiao Ling who are alternating in beating him up.

"His eyes are disgusting when he looks at me. I really want to pull his eyes out and crush them." Xiao Ling said, feeling dissatisfied even if he and xiao Bao were done beating Ke Lu up, and also robbed Ke Lu's belongings in passing.

Now, the hunter became the prey just because of his careless mistake of staring at one of the two devils. Ke Lu who wanted to rob the other participant was robbed instead by xiao Bao and xiao Ling who the other participants still haven't realized started to join the fray.

…

"Did you hear anything?" the Shanliangde Sect disciples asked as they turned to look at each other.

"What 'hear'?" Fei Huo asked as he pulled his sword from the neck of the demon he just killed. "You heard something? Why didn't I hear anything?" he asked as he looked around, trying to look for the origin of the sound. "What sound was it?" he added.

"Hmm…" Xi Bing muttered as he pinched his chin and pondered. "It sounds like someone's voice crying and asking for help…" he said.

Fei Huo's clear and bright eyes widened in surprise and he jumped behind Fei Luo in a flash. He has never been this fast than before, which made them all surprised, including the audience watching. "Y – you... Bing-ge, don't scare me like this!" he said as he buried his face that is pale in horror on Fei Luo's back.

Xi Bing who was just being honest. "…"

The other Shanliangde Sect disciples who didn't expect the usually rambunctious Fei Luo is actually scared of… ghosts. "…"

The audience who can't believe that there are actually cultivators who are scared of ghosts. "…" well, he is just a child… as if!!! They all thought as they looked at Fei Huo's projected figure.

Fei Luo who stiffened when he felt that Fei Huo's tears stuck on his clothes. But, he just can't scold Fei Huo. Everyone is watching them and, even if he hates Fei Huo's hyperactivity, he is still his younger brother and he knows that Fei Huo has always been scared at night when they were young, especially when ghost stories were told by their fellow children when they were young.

"How old are you?" Fei Luo asked as a vein popped in his forehead.

"Ge…" Fei Huo called like a pitiful kitten.

Fei Luo's face darkened. Xi He who is silently watching them sneered.

"Uh…" Sun Ri muttered. "The sound has already disappeared." she reminded them.

"Really, Ri-jie?!" Fei Huo asked as he turned to him with tears in his eyes.

"Yes." Sun Ri nodded.

Fei Huo sighed in relief and patted his chest, thinking that it was a ghost. But, Sun Yan, Fei Luo, Xi Bing and Xi He think that things aren't simple.

"Who do you think it is?" Sun Yan asked.

"I think that person is too stupid if he thinks of scaring us for us to go away." Fei Luo answered.

"So, you think that person is actually sincere and really is asking us for help?" Xi Bing asked.

"Heh. You go. I hate weaklings." Xi He spoke as he crossed his arms.

Fei Huo looked at him. "He-ge, are you also scared of ghosts?" he asked, thinking that Xi He doesn't want to go is because Xi He also thinks it was a ghost.

Xi He whose face turned black because he felt disgraced. "…" fck this dumbass! He thought as he gripped his sword tight, wanting to stab Fei Huo.

Fei Luo's brow twitched in annoyance while Xi Bing, Sun Yan and Sun Ri looked away and covered their mouths but their shoulders are shaking as they suppressed their laughter. They have never thought Fei Huo would ask Xi He this.

Fei Huo who retreated towards Fei Luo when he saw that Xi He glared at him. Xi He saw Fei Luo and he retracted his gaze.  "H – He-ge isn't afraid of ghosts?" he spoke in a low and timid voice.

"Alright." Xi Bing spoke when he saw that Xi He was about to explode due to Fei Huo being an airhead. Xi He might really stab Fei Huo despite Fei Luo being present. "Fei Huo, it wasn't a ghost but may be a participant." He told him.

"A participant?" Fei Huo was surprised. "Damn! He actually wants to scare us! I'll beat him up!" he said. His usual hyper self returned when he found that it wasn't a ghost.

"No. I think they want to ask for help." Sun Ri spoke. "I think the voice is coming that way." He told them and pointed.

Everyone then went, including Xi He who hesitated.

…

Even though Ke Lu was beaten up by xiao Bao and xiao Ling, but it wasn't him who was heard by the Shanliangde sect disciples. Though, he also used this ruse to rob the other participants after he regained his strength.

"Damn those two!" Ke Lu gnashed his teeth in anger after he ate all the magic pills the participant he has just robbed have. He decided to add xiao Bao and xiao Ling in his list. Since he can't defeat the two of them, then he will find a chance that only one of them is present and he will kill him.

Though, he will never get this chance since xiao Bao and xiao Ling are a combination that appears together.. This was due to xiao Bao's stickiness towards xiao Ling.
