The Scum Is A

Of course, the participants can't bite Cheng Sheng, since they haven't realized, yet, what is their real situation right now. And, even if they did realize it, they can't bite Cheng Sheng, of course, even if he pitted them big this time. One, they highly respect him and, two, will Fei Yin let them?

Just thinking the 'training' they had under Fei Yin's hands, they subconsciously shuddered in horror and felt their knees go weak. But, for now, let them live in ignorance for a while. It isn't good to serve all the 'dishes' at once, including the 'dessert'. They already felt greatly pressured just facing xiao Bao and xiao Ling. If they would hear the news of them pitting themselves with their own hands, it would definitely be a big blow to them.

Thus, they shouldn't let them know the real 'game' for a while.

Everyone looked at Cheng Sheng and Zheng Yi, and then back to Cheng Sheng who dug a very beautiful pit this time. "…" fck. The participants will definitely be left with a psychological shadow this time! They all thought.

Jing Cheng, Xi Ming, Tang Zhe, Qian Lin, Kang Ce and the others who remembered the last Intersect Competition they participated together with the devil Cheng Sheng grimaced. "…" good god! Fortunately, Cheng Sheng hasn't crafted well the pit he made us all fall before! They thought and inwardly cried while their hearts are shaking while recalling all those times they have fell into each pit.

It was also fortunately that they were mentally and emotionally stable at that time. Or else… well, they don't dare continue this 'or else'. They are afraid to imagine the possibility. It seems that they have also been left with a psychological shadow.

But, right now, it is fortunate that Cheng Sheng isn't digging pits for them to fall again. Just that, he is putting all his energy to dig pits for the next generation. Adding to the fact that he has two very good helpers xiao Bao and xiao Ling…

Everyone secretly lit rows of candles for the participants. They hope that they won't immediately mentally collapse.

…

"Erm… do you feel that there is something wrong, too?" Fei Yinzi asked with his brows knitted as he looked at them. He frowned. This uncanny feeling… something is not right. He thought.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Tang Li asked.

Li Yan is a perceptive person so he stared at Fei Yinzi. "… do you think that there is something not right with our current situation?" he asked.

Fei Yinzi nodded as an answer.

Wen Yan frowned. "I also think so… figuring the number of groups seemed to be an easy solution." He said, speaking the cause of the unsettling matter that made Fei Yinzi inexplicably anxious.

"That's it!" Fei Yinzi exclaimed, finally found the feeling that he can't find some words to say.

Everyone turned to him.

"What do you mean, Er Zi?" Zhu Xi asked.

"I just think that everything seemed to have gone wrong…" Fei Yinzi spoke as he carefully chose his words. "Ever since… ever since my master got involved in this stage." He added.

They were shocked.

"Do you mean… that Cheng-shibo made things a lot more difficult for us?" Cui Xiao asked as she tilted her head.

Everyone. "…" we have so many things to point out with what you said, but it is definitely right. They thought. Not only did she say that Cheng Sheng is making them suffer more, she also said 'a lot' and 'more'…

Cheng Sheng really likes to make things more complicated and harder…

Fei Yinzi's lip twitched. He wanted to refute Cui Xiao's words, but why should he? What she said is the truth. His master really is… he grimaced. "En." He nodded.

"Then, what do you want to say, Er Zi?" Tang Li asked. He admits that he isn't smart like his uncle Tang Zhe, but he is more straightforward then them so he directly asked Fei Yinzi. If he doesn't need to waste his brain cells, then he won't. It will just make his head hurt and he would waste time thinking.

"Since my master likes to make things more challenging, then he definitely wouldn't give us a problem that can be solved easily." Fei Yinzi answered.

Everyone grimaced when he said that.

"Instead – " Fei Yinzi continued and he smiled apologetically at them. " – he would dig a pit for us." he told them.

Everyone. "…" what the heck! They all exclaimed.

"You have a point…" Wen Yan spoke with a complicated expression on his face. Although he wanted to refute this, he know that what Fei Yinzi said is the truth.

"… ah." Zhu Xi reacted with a blank face.

"Oh." Cui Xiao nodded indifferently.

Tang Li and Li Yan. "…" what the hell… the Xinfaxian Sect disciples accepted this just like that?! They are all abnormal! They thought and looked at each other with sympathy in their eyes, feeling pity for themselves for being in a situation like this, and also have teammates like this.

Tang Li can't help but recall the unlucky days of his uncles Tang Zhe and Tang Yun and Guo Cheng-shishu. Of course, the unluckiest one is Shan Lu-shishu. And the four of them, nine out of ten times became unlucky due to Cheng Sheng.

Li Yan can geuss what Tang Li is thinking and psychologically comforted since his sect didn't suffer much under Cheng Sheng's hands. "So, what do you think is going on?" he asked Fei Yinzi.

"I know my master. He definitely dug a pit for us." Fei Yinzi spoke.

No one doubted his words since he is Cheng Sheng's disciple.

"I think that instead of grouping in such a large number, we should… split up instead." Fei Yinzi said.

"What?!" they exclaimed.

"If we will split up, then xiao Bao and xiao Ling will definitely target us!" Tang Li said.

Fei Yinzi took a deep breath. He also knows this. But, he had been feeling uncomfortable since last night. "We are trapped." He said, basically explaining their current situation.

They couldn't helped but be shocked.

…

"As expected of my disciple!" Cheng Sheng clapped as he looked at Fei Yinzi with a satisfied smile on his face. He knows Fei Yinzi well, and Fei Yinzi knows him well, too.

"Sheng." Fei Yin whispered.

Cheng Sheng's eyes curved into crescents. "But, of course, da shixiong knows me the most!" he said and cupped Fei Yin's face.

Fei Yin, who had been drinking Fei Yinzi's vinegar, his ears turned red as he stared at Cheng Sheng's smiling face. "…" this vinegar is worth it. He thought as he was being comforted by Cheng Sheng.

The other elders who had been forcefully fed by dog food. "…" what the fck! Can't you focus on the competition and not flirt?! They thought with dark faces.

"Ehem." Fei Yin coughed and secretly held Cheng Sheng's hand. "But, although Er Zi realized the trap, it still isn't known when he will find the solution." He said.

The others nodded.

"Xiao Sheng… you really make this hard for the children." Fan Wen helplessly sighed as he looked at the participants with sympathy in his eyes.

Cheng Sheng's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "Noted, shifu." He answered and guiltily looked away.

Feng Mo snickered while Li Tian, Lei Qing smiled. Lei Ling and You Rou laughed since Cheng Sheng was scolded by Fan Wen. It has been such a long time that they saw Cheng Sheng was scolded by Fan Wen.

"Everyone, let's focus on the competition." Cheng Sheng said as he sat upright.

The other elders. "…" you should tell yourself that! They thought, inwardly complaining, though they really resumed watching.

…

Qi Lan frowned when he heard what Chen Wu said. "How sure are you?" he asked.

"The fact that xiao Bao and xiao Ling still haven't come to attack us… is this enough?" Chen Wu asked back.

Qi Lan fell silent while Chen Su coldly sweated. Wu Lian is silent while Chen Yu and He Shun are panicking.

"What should we do, then?" He Shun asked.

"Let's split up first." Chen Wu answered. "If my guess is right, we should have grouped ourselves to smaller number." He frowned.

"I will take He Shun with me." Qi Lan decisively said before He Shun could speak.

He Shun wanted to say something but held back his words when he saw Qi Lan glanced at him.

"The four of us will seek xiao Bao and xiao Ling ourselves to test my guess." Chen Wu said.

"Uncle… does he really have to do it like this?" Chen Yu asked, feeling dejected.

Chen Wu smiled. "I think he wants to temper ourselves." He answered.

"We have a smaller number. We will immediately send you the information if xiao Bao and xiao Ling attacked us first." Qi Lan spoke.

Chen Wu nodded in agreement. "They also have two Xinfaxian Sect disciples with them, Su Mia nd Su Yi. Su Yi is smart so he should already have guessed this.." He said.
