The Scum Is A

"I hope you ran to find money to pay me!" the young master said after he caught up with him and trapped him with his arms on both sides to prevent him from escaping.

Lei Ling wanted to curse. How can I find money when I'm busy running for my life?! However, he can't tell that to this young master ne? Fortunately, he didn't see any cronies around this young master. Or else, they have already beaten him to a pulp for offending their master!

However, this is even more frightening! Because this young master has no one around him, it means one thing – this young master is strong! He dared walk around alone, it must mean he is strong! Lei Ling shivered and wanted to drill himself on the wall. "I… I don't have any money on me…" he said, his voice too quiet like a mosquito.

"What?!" Jing Kang said, mad. Damn it! I've ruined my clothes! If I go home like this, they would find out I sneaked out! My parents would scold me, and my peers would make fun of me! His eyes narrowed as he looked at Lei Ling with a big frown on his face. This is this poor ghost's fault! I can't buy the same clothes to cover himself up today! "Stop acting! Give me the money!" he said and reached his hand out to Lei Ling. He looked like a big bully robbing money from his target. "I have to buy new clothes because you dirtied my clothes!" he told him. "And the same clothes as mine!" he added, having no room for Lei Ling to talk back.

Lei Ling's face was covered in black lines. Can't you wash it? He bit his tongue to not utter the words. "I – I have a Cleaning Talisman!" he said.

"Cleaning Talisman? Humph. It must be fake, right?" Jing Kang said as he condescendingly looked at Lei Ling. Then looked at Lei Ling's washed up clothes, his eyes filled with disdain.

Lei Ling saw the scornful look in this young master's eyes. He is aware that he looked like a servant compared to a fellow disciple when he walks together with Cheng Sheng and the others. He has no other clothes than his old ones. Just that, Cheng Sheng is very down-to-earth. He is also super close with Lei Ling. Fei Yin might look upright, but he doesn't put any airs around Lei Ling and treated Lei Ling with respect and he's surprisingly friendly. Li Tian is gentle by nature – he treats everyone equally. Feng Mo, even though he's a young master, but he's overly-familiar towards everyone. You Rou may look gentle, but he's actually boorish. No need to talk about Lei Qing. She's his older sister, naturally she's the most familiar with him. Just that, her clothes looked better than his, and that she looked like their father while Lei Ling looked like their mother so no one put them two together as siblings. Thus, Lei Ling doesn't think he's out of place when he's with everyone. However, meeting this young master today, he finally realized and felt the difference between him and his fellow disciples. His eyes immediately watered. "M – my Cleaning Talismans are real." He said, his voice pitifully weak and nasally. He's on the verge of tears.

However, this has no effect on Jing Kang. His peers bully their servants every day, so crying sessions like the one in front of him has no effect on him. He's already numb to feel pity. Thus, he pushed Lei Ling to the wall again, and Lei Ling hissed in pain when his back hit the brick wall! "You are so poor you can't even afford to buy clothes. How can you buy an expensive talisman, and it's even limited in stock!" he told Lei Ling.

Lei Ling's tears finally fell. He looked and felt awful. "Here!" he said and took out a Cleaning Talisman from his sleeve. "I am a Xinfaxian Sect disciple, and Cheng Sheng is my shixiong!" he told Jing Kang and pushed the Cleaning Talisman on Jing Kang's chest, which the talisman pasted itself on Jing Kang's clothes.

Jing Kang was shocked to see that his clothes immediately became clean! "You – " he looked at Lei Ling, his gaze complicated. He saw Lei Ling's clothes became disorderly and his face is flushed red because he was crying. Finally, this young master felt guilt for the first time. "I – " he coughed. He can't bear himself to apologize to someone. Even he was apologized to despite he was the one who bullied those people.

Lei Ling finally found his courage when he had proved himself. He didn't bother to look at Jing Kang again. He pushed him and ran away to leave. However, he didn't forget to paste a Bad Luck Talisman on Jing Kang. He deserves it for doubting him! Cheng-shixiong's talismans are authentic! Lei Ling pasted the Bad Luck Talisman together with the Cleaning Talisman, so it burned together with the Cleaning Talisman thus Jing Kang didn't notice it.

Cheng Sheng knew it was inevitable for Lei Ling to be bullied, thus he taught Lei Ling how to make a Bad Luck Talisman. "See here. Just write the curses you want to curse those bullies using the characters I taught you." Cheng Sheng told Lei Ling when they hid somewhere in the Xinfaxian so that Fan Wen and Xie Lan won't know they will make a Bad Luck Talisman.

Since it was Lei Ling who made the Bad Luck Talisman he used on Jing Kang, its effect would be lessened. But still, that young master would feel he wouldn't want to be born after he'd suffer the misfortunes that will befall him today! He returned to the inn and found that Li Tian and You Rou were still meditating while Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin, Feng Mo and Lei Qing still haven't come back. He washed up to refresh himself and with glistening eyes because of tears and flushed cheeks and nose after he cried, he poured all his attention in meditating – completely kicking that young master out of his mind!

On Cheng Sheng's side, they watched as the swords clashed with multiple sparks as Lei Qing and the eldest disciple of the Dongcheng Sect continued to fight. Lei Qing surprised and made everyone felt awe by showing them of her strength!

Lei Qing's pretty face looked serious as she parried with her opponent, who had finally recovered after his initial shock when he felt the strength of Lei Qing's attacks. She's too aggressive! He thought as he blocked Lei Qing's attack. She's a tigress! He thought in alarm as he immediately jumped to the side when Lei Qing tried to kick him. He gulped when he saw his robe was torn after Lei Qing's foot passed by him. He dared not think how much pain would he feel if that attack hit him.

Lei Qing made a beautiful turn and raised her left fist, delivering it towards her opponent's chest! "Da shixiong!" the Dongcheng Sect disciples cried out in alarm when immediately pulled their da shixiong out of the harm's way when they saw his pale face beaded with sweat. The eldest disciple of the Dongcheng Sect managed to avoid the attack in a hair's breadth. They turned when they heard a loud crash behind which is the direction of Lei Qing's attack, only to see the there's a big crack on the tree's trunk. To make it worse, the tree shook and fell because of the impact!

The eldest disciple of the Dongcheng Sect almost fell on his weakened knees. He forced himself to face Lei Qing, and cupped his hand to show his respect. "Dongcheng Sect's eldest disciple, Dong Cheng, offers his apology and respect to shijie!" he said and looked at Lei Qing. It was just now he introduced himself.

"Xinfaxian Sect's sixth disciple, Lei Qing." Lei Qing introduced herself.

Dong Cheng let his fellow disciples helped him walk. His knees are still shaking with fright. He's not this woman's opponent at all!
