The Scum Is A

Everyone's faces turned black after they heard Fei Yin's explanation to what had transpired.

"Wu Tie and Jin Yu are one team, and Fei Luo and Sun Yan are the best fighters of their sect. So, Chen Wu proposed this game to attract their attention and, later, bind them." Fei Yin said.

He looked at Cheng Sheng and smiled, knowing that Cheng Sheng wasn't serious of what he said earlier.

"Xi He's attention has all been on Wu Tie and only would keep his points enough to not be eliminated. Xi Bing is looking after Fei Huo thus he won't be able to earn much points… well, he might not at all." Fei Yin continued. "Fei Luo and Sun Yan are bound by the game, not to mention Fei Luo's mental state isn't good and Sun Yan also is worried about Fei Luo, as well as the game, thus all of the Shanliangde Sect disciples, including Sun Ri, won't be able to increase their points today, even if they have the rest of the day to farm for points. They are all distracted, and Xi He who, although chose solo, was beaten up by xiao Ling and xiao Bao after he got caught up with Wu Tie's fight against xiao Ling and xiao Bao." He explained.

Everyone. "..."

Xi Ming. "…" fck. He placed a palm on his face.

"As for Wu Tie and Jin Yu… no need to say anything about them, right?" Fei Yin looked at them.

Wu Tie and Jin Yu were also badly beaten up by xiao Ling and xiao Bao, and aren't any better than Xi He. Thus, they won't be able to farm for points today, too. This leaves… they all thought and looked at Cheng Sheng who has a smile on his lips. The Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect, including the ones that joined them, to be able to farm for points!

"With xiao Ling and xiao Bao done with their 'task' today, everyone can freely farm for points." Fei Yin added with a smile on his face.

But, nobody felt good after hearing that, especially the other sects. It is because since only the Xinfaxian Sect, Youxiwang Sect, and the others who joined their group are the only ones currently in their best condition, not to mention the resources in their hands, they can crazily farm for points!

As expected, they saw Fei Yinzi opened the Cleansing Stone on his hand and they all saw that the Xinfaxian Sect's and Youxiwang Sect's ranks are on the top two, and the disciples with them filled the leaderboard! Even Qi Lan is in the top ten!

"FCK!" the audience cursed, dunno whether in anger or awe, when they saw the leaderboard for the participants and the sects. "Chen Wu… Chen Wu is too cunning!" they all exclaimed.

The sect leaders, elders, and the Righteous Alliance. "…" the fck! They inwardly cursed.

Sun Yu's face is as black as the bottom of the pot. Although Xie Lan felt good because of the result, he felt uneasy sitting on his seat because of Sun Yu's piercing gaze on him. He won't kill me after this, right? Xie Lan thought and grimaced, considering whether to write a farewell letter to Fan Wen in advance.

"Ehem." Wu Yuan, the sect leader of the Youxiwang Sect, coughed. "I apologize." He said.

The sect leaders. "…" how can they still continue to get mad? They said that you can't hit a smiling person. Although Wu Yuan isn't smiling, can they hit him? Can they?! He even apologized even if he doesn't need to since this is a competition between the disciples. It is their disciples who lost the battle of wits, that's all! Look! Chen Wu even tried to give Wu Tie and Fei Luo a chance to figure out the conditions of xiao Ling and xiao Bao deducting their points!

Chen Wu, although he plotted against them, this isn't considered against them since he actually was considerate to their disciples instead by giving them a chance. So, can they get mad at him?! Well, they still feel mad, since - !

"Chen Wu actually learned how to use 'being benevolent to plot against'?" Fei Yin spoke as he looked at Cheng Sheng with a smile.

Cheng Sheng. "…" one more, and I will really get angry! He thought and glared at Fei Yin, thinking that he won't let him touch him again tonight!

The others. "…" FCK! They can't get mad since the other was really kind, but also isn't kind since he used this kindness to plot against them! they thought with their faces as black as the bottom of the pot. What is more infuriating is that Wu Tie, Jin Yu, Fei Luo and Sun Yan still don't know this, and are still thinking to be grateful to Chen Wu!

Well… they really should be grateful, but also shouldn't! ARGH! They all took deep breaths to calm themselves and glared at Cheng Sheng. Why Cheng Sheng? Because only in him did Chen Wu's cunningness came from, and definitely not from Chen Han. How can the idiot Chen Han be this cunning?

Chen Han who was shot. "???"

Li Tian placed a palm on his face when he saw his lover's puzzled face. Ai… he thought and sighed.

Fan Wen, Feng Mo, Lei Qing, Lei Ling and You Rou. "…" so, do we have to protect Cheng Sheng or not? They thought.

"Well, Xi Ming…" Tang Zhe spoke and awkwardly coughed as they all looked at Xi Ming.

Xi Ming sincerely smiled. "It is already good that Chen Wu gave Fei Luo and Sun Yan a chance… well, two chances." He said. "A pity that they wasted one, but they only have themselves to be blamed for that, and still if they also would lose this last chance." He explained.

They all nodded in understanding, praising Xi Ming for being cool-headed. Truly worthy of the best disciple of former generation of the Shanliangde Sect!

…

"The plan worked!" Ling Yun excitedly exclaimed as they all watched with sparkling eyes the leaderboards.

They have just finished wrecking another large nest of the demons. Now that xiao Ling and xiao Bao aren't interfering, they can all go together! They even brought Cui Xiang and Sun Ri with them.

Cui Xiao saw Sun Ri was looking at her sect's rank as well as her fellow disciples' ranks. "Hey." She called and tapped her shoulder.

Sun Ri turned. They are all currently resting and the sun is about to set. Wu Lian left to hunt food for their dinner while Chen Wu is chatting with them, asking if someone got injured or something has happened. Truly the father and mother of their group, ehem.

"Hm?" Sun Ri answered.

"You don't need to worry about them. We have a way!" Cui Xiao told her.

Sun Ri. "???" she felt puzzled, but then she saw that Cui Xiao is energetically eating her food, thus she didn't disturb her.

Ever since she had stayed in the Xinfaxian Sect's and Youxiwang Sect's base, she has been freed of her worries. At first, she still felt awkward and was afraid that the others would alienate her, treating her as an outsider. Especially that rogue cultivator Qi Lan who has a frightening gaze after He Shun once talked to her.

But, everything was contrary to what she has expected. Not only they had warmly welcomed her, they are even very friendly towards her. They also didn't ask any sensitive topic from her, like the Shanliangde Sect's tactic. They didn't even mock her for being abandoned by her brother, Sun Yan, and for her being weak, nor did they mock the Shanliangde Sect for being not able to protect a girl like her.

Instead, they comforted her, saying that Sun Yan just cared for her too much unlike what she thought of being a burden on him thus he thrown her here. They really made her heart feel warm. They are not arrogant as what she had thought, especially Fei Yinzi who is Cheng Sheng's disciple. She found out that Fei Yinzi is actually very pitiful instead for having a master like Cheng Sheng.

What shocked her the most is that they didn't leave her behind and restrict her. Instead, they even brought her with them to farm points! They also looked after her instead of focusing on killing demons. They might be carefree, and also competitive, but they cared about their people the most. Win or lose, it doesn't matter to them. What matters to them instead is having fun together.

"Sun Ri." Chen Wu called.

Sun Ri turned. "Yesh?" she answered with her mouth still full of meat. There was even some sauce on her cheek.

Chen Wu is soft-hearted towards his juniors so he told her to wipe her face and finish her food before she should find him. Sun Ri immediately finished her food and fixed herself before she ran after him. She saw Chen Wu is standing by the riverbank. She was about to speak and ask him what's wrong when she saw two people came out of the forest.

Her eyes widened in shock.. "Brother!" she cried when she saw her unconscious brother carried by Wu Lian and Xi Bing while Fei Luo was helped by Fei Huo.
