The Scum is A ***

26: The Scum Is Special

"I mean 'special' – " Fei Huang coughed and he looked away. Xi Ling blankly stared at him. Fei Huang cleared his throat as he continued. "Cheng Sheng's soul, its origin is unknown." He said, his chin high looking like a mystic. "I heard you brought them to ask me some questions." He stopped and turned to Xi Ling who was secretly rolling his eyes. "I am hoping I could also get some clues from Cheng Sheng's questions." He sighed and shook his head. Unfortunately, Fei Yin took Cheng Sheng away before they could begin. Fei Huang set up the barrier to sound out Cheng Sheng's soul. He had set up the Spirit Infiltration Barrier to detect if the people coming in his territory is an ally or an enemy. As to Cheng Sheng, when the barrier hit his soul, Cheng Sheng felt inexplicable pain, rooting from the point that connects his soul and dantian. It was because the spiritual veins of Cheng Sheng's soul took a direct hit. Even though the qi is flowing to Cheng Sheng's spiritual veins, but there seems to be something blocking Cheng Sheng's soul, making his soul unseen by the spiritual eyes. This thing that blocks Cheng Sheng's soul from being seen was the reason why Cheng Sheng's soul detached from Chen Sheng's body. "What is this thing...?" he muttered.

"Hm? Did you say something, sect leader?" Xi Ling asked.

Fei Huang shook his head and turned to him. "You can now go and help Lin-er. The sect is still under attack by the strange corpses. They seemed endless." He sighed. "It is not good to be missing for long." He told Xi Ling.

"Yes, sect leader." Xi Ling bowed. "How do we arrange the Youxiwang Sect and the Xinfaxian Sect's departure?" he asked.

"I heard that Cheng Sheng is a prodigy." Fei Huang said. "He is well-versed in alchemy – making talismans and arrays." He said. "Tell Lin-er to arrange a hidden space for them to set up the array. Who knows, we can use this array in the future." He told Xi Ling and finally left.

"Yes, sect leader." Xi Ling answered and also left to go to Fei Yin to report.

Northeast Peak.

"Xiao Yin, what happened to Xiao Sheng?!" Xie Lan asked as he rose from his seat. Cheng Sheng is lying on Fei Yin's embrace, unconscious.

"I didn't expect for uncle to act sooner." Fei Yin said as he brought Cheng Sheng to the next room, Ming Ye and Xie Lan following behind him. "He set up a barrier to probe Cheng-shidi's soul. Cheng-shidi was affected." He said and gently laid down Cheng Sheng on the bed.

"Probe the soul..." Ming Ye said and looked at Xie Lan. "What did elder Fei say?" he asked as he turned to Fei Yin.

"... Cheng-shidi's soul changed." Fei Yin answered.

Xie Lan and Ming Ye fell silent. It's as they expected. Chen Sheng's body was possessed. And Cheng Sheng is the soul that occupied Chen Sheng's body. Where did Chen Sheng's soul go, then? Who is Cheng Sheng? Why can't they see his soul? So many questions, but only Cheng Sheng could answer them. And they don't know if Cheng Sheng will answer them. They looked at Fei Yin. "Xiao Yin." Xie Lan called. But, before he could say anything, Fei Yin spoke.

"Cheng-shidi is Cheng-shidi. If founder will kick him out of the sect, I'll leave the sect with him." Fei Yin said.

Xie Lan and Ming Ye was stunned. They don't know why Fei Yin was so attached to Cheng Sheng. Xie Lan only met Fei Yin the same time Cheng Sheng appeared in the sect. Ming Ye only knew that Fei Yin and Chen Sheng met during when they were young in the Xili Town – the border between the west and the north. "I know." Xie Lan said. "I never intended for Xiao Sheng to leave. We are all a family. As I have said, no matter who will you become in the end, your shifu and I will always be on your back to support you." He told Fei Yin.

"Chen-xiong will also say that." Ming Ye said. "Once a family, will always be a family to the Chens. Chen-xiong will treat Sheng-er the same." He said.
