The Scum is A ***

25: The Scum Is Abnormal

Xie Lan and Ming Ye looked at each other, their eyes talking. On their way to the Dongfang Town to find Wu Fan, they talked about Cheng Sheng's change the past years.

Fei Lin spoke. "Senior Xie means that a disaster will fall in the continent?" he asked.

Xie Lan turned to him. "I think." He answered. "Or else, the Xinfaxian residents all have died." He said. "Also, he's stronger than me. He's at the peak Immortalization Stage." He told Fei Lin.

Fei Lin's eyes widened in shock. "Peak Immortalization..." he said. "That's the same with uncle." He's referring to Fei Huang.

Ming Ye nodded. "We're about to ask for elder Fei's help, thinking that the mysterious man is an enemy. Fortunately - " he said. " - things went well in the end." he looked at Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng, who had gone silent, has everybody's eyes on him again. Then, a shadow fell upon him. He raised his head and saw Fei Yin's back on him. "If you have something to doubt, it's not Cheng-shidi. It's me." Fei Yin said as he faced the three elders before him. "Cheng-shidi was unconscious that night. It is I who talked to that man." He told them.

Xie Lan, Ming Ye and Fei Lin looked at him. Then, their face became blank. Ming Ye doesn't know what to react while Fei Lin helplessly smiled. Xie Lan coughed as he walked towards Fei Yin who looked like a mother hen protecting his chick Cheng Sheng. "Xiao Yin. We're not suspecting Xiao Sheng. We've been with him for 10 years. We saw him grow up so it's us who knows him best if he's colluding with the demonic cultivators." He said as he patted Fei Yin's shoulder. "Also, that man is mysterious but not a demonic cultivator." He added.

Fei Yin nodded. "Cheng-shidi had a golden core now through Spiritual Awakening Method." He said.

Fei Lin's eyes widened as he turned to his younger brother. "What?! Spiritual Awakening Method?!" he looked at Cheng Sheng. Indeed, he felt a stronger power coming from Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng really has a golden core now. "But, that method - " he looked at Fei Yin. " - awakening one's mind and spirit to unblock their spiritual veins for the flow of qi in their body."

Xie Lan nodded. "That's right." He said. "It was that man who helped Xiao Sheng." He walked towards Fei Yin. Then, he moved Fei Yin to the side to see Cheng Sheng. "This what puzzles us the most." He turned to Fei Lin. "He isn't related to Xiao Sheng. But, he wanted to take Xiao Sheng away." He said.

"That night, it was only I, Luo-xiong, and our disciples present together with the Xinfaxian sect disciples." Ming Ye said. "He could easily defeat us with his level and then take Sheng-er away. However, he didn't." he said, his brows knit.

Fei Lin was deep in thought. "This is really puzzling." He said and looked at Cheng Sheng. "Maybe we can find some clues from uncle and uncle Jun. However - " he frowned. " - the sect currently is - " he said.

" - under attack." Ming Ye sighed. "We also can't leave our sect leader and the Chen patriarch here." He said.

"But, we have to find clues about this man." Xie Lan said. "And one clue is - " he said and they all looked at Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng broke in a cold sweat. Even if he has a golden core now, but three Immortalization Stage elders are in front of him. He heard his Qi Absorbing Talisman cracked inside his clothes. Their expression changed and retracted their aura they subconsciously emitted. Fei Yin immediately blocked Cheng Sheng from their sight.

"Xiao Sheng. Sorry - " Xie Lan coughed as he broke the tense atmosphere. He turned to Ming Ye and Fei Lin. "We have to find clues about this man. This man knows what is happening lately..." he said.

They nodded. "How about I take them to sect leader?" Xi Ling said.

They turned to him. "Ling..." Fei Lin called.
