Chapter 534 - The Scum Is An Underdog

Although Fei Yinzi's dependence on Cheng Sheng seemed abnormal, Fei Yinzi naturally didn't dare think with those impure thoughts towards his master, Cheng Sheng! So, don't misunderstand him!

Fei Yinzi's face burned to the point they could see smoke coming from it. He opened his mouth to speak. "… I don't!!!" he yelled at the Shapeshifting Blanket where Fei Yin went inside. He gathered all his courage to fight the fear he had towards Fei Yin just to say those words, preventing everyone from thinking that he is feeling something else towards his master aside from respect and worship!

If he really is feeling something else towards his master aside from respect and worship, and fear, then it is anger! Well, not angry to the point of resentment. It's just anger. Like irritation or frustration. It's because his master is very tough on him when he is training him thus he felt angry because he the way he treats him is anything but humane! His master also just decides everything without consulting him.

For example, today, he accepted Ling Yun as his new disciple without considering his feelings and opinions! Thus, he felt irritated. Frustrated!

Everyone looked at Fei Yinzi in sympathy. Although they have seen Fei Yinzi's abnormal feeling of dependence on Cheng Sheng, they didn't think anything improper with it as they see it as a child depending to an adult, especially since Fei Yinzi was raised by Cheng Sheng. They see Cheng Sheng as Fei Yinzi's parent. Thus, they didn't think that there is an impure relationship between this pair of master and disciple.

Instead, right now, they think that Fei Yin is really shrewd. He said those words to Fei Yinzi not only as a warning, but also to sound the youth out of his feelings, and also to make the poor, innocent youth be aware and after, clear of his feelings towards Cheng Sheng.

Really shrewd. The Xinfaxian Sect people all thought and don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. Fei Lin's expression also cracked and his usual smile stiffened on his face. Xi Ling patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Yin-er… I didn't know Yin-er is actually like this… Fei Lin thought, feeling his heart is about to collapse. He excused himself and he left along with Xi Ling. Now, the ones left are the sect leaders, elders and the exhausted disciples who are some still unconscious even with the ruckus earlier.

"Carry them back to their rooms." Sun Yi ordered the waiters of the Yunxiao Inn while he and Wu Yuan helped Wu Lian up.

But, Wu Lian immediately steadied himself, gathered qi in the surroundings to help himself recover some strength before he helped Chen Wu up while Chen Han pulled Chen Su and Li Tian pulled Chen Yu to the side.

Lei Qing pulled Su Mi and Su Yi. Feng Mo pulled Zhu Xi while Wu Bai pulled Wen Yan. Jing Kang helped Lei Ling pull Wen Wen while Xie Lan and Fan Wen took Cui Xiang and Cui Xiao. The other sects also took their disciples away.

No one knows that after Fei Yin returned to Bai Tan's space, he frowned. These days of interacting with Fei Yinzi, he confirmed his guess that night: the missing piece of his soul is in Fei Yinzi. But how? He remembers that when they were with Sha Yan, or Fei Yan before, he never mentioned his child. It wasn't until before he died that they discovered he has an amnesia, and he spoke about his wife and child, making Cheng Sheng promise to look for his wife and child and to look after them.

But, in the end, Fei Yin 'died', making him unable to accompany Cheng Sheng to fulfill his promise with Fei Yan. Also, Cheng Sheng only found the child, Yinzi, in the end. He then took him in as his disciple.

The reason why Fei Yin disliked Fei Yinzi, at first sight, is that he looked weak as Cheng Sheng's disciple. Although he is biased towards Cheng Sheng, it didn't cloud his judgement. He knows that Fei Yinzi is really weak. It's got nothing to do with how Cheng Sheng is teaching him. In fact, the strength of Fei Yinzi now should be contributed to Cheng Sheng and not Fei Yinzi's 'talent'.

For Fei Yin, Fei Yinzi has no talent. He thinks that Fei Yinzi is not deserving to be Cheng Sheng's disciple. Thus, he dislikes him. He actually likes this new disciple of Cheng Sheng – Ling Yun. Ling Yun not only has a good foundation, he also has a good temperament. Not to mention that Ling Yun also has a gift – special eyes that is near-comparable to Cheng Sheng's eyes.

If this is a novel, Fei Yinzi would be the underdog protagonist and Ling Yun is the shining second male lead. But, they aren't, so Fei Yinzi can only endure and continue to strive to become stronger.

"Hahaha." Fei Yin laughed, seeing Fei Yinzi's future of competing for Cheng Sheng's attention with Ling Yun. Fei Yin naturally could see that Ling Yun is also Cheng Sheng's fan. "These hairy kids… they would never get Sheng's attention. All of it are for me." He smirked as he lied down the jade and continue to gather qi while he pondered over things.

Another reason why Fei Yin dislikes Fei Yinzi is because this child is close to Cheng Sheng. Not to mention that he has the same name as him, Fei Yin could guess that Cheng Sheng was definitely confused before if he might have reincarnated on Fei Yinzi's body after he, Fei Yin, 'died'. This makes Fei Yin pissed so he disliked Fei Yinzi more.

So, he targeted him during the training. But, this also helped Fei Yinzi's cultivation. In just a few years, or if he is lucky, in a year or even less than it, Fei Yinzi would be able to reach Fei Luo's, Jing Xu's, Qian Jue's and Tang Li's level. Not to mention Ling Yun who is just a step below these four promising talents of the new generation.

"Tch." Fei Yin clicked his tongue in annoyance. He wanted to punish Fei Yinzi but it only helped the other. Never mind. I had enough of punishing him, and founder and shifu and the others think I am sincerely helping this, distant, nephew of mine. He thought and closed his eyes. A pity that he can't see Cheng Sheng before he closes his eyes.

No worries… in the future, before he closes his eyes and after he opens them, the first one he would see is Cheng Sheng.

…

The next day, because of the 'farce' training that happened led by Fei Yin, all the participants who had matches that day, for example Qian Jue, Qian Meng, Fei Huo and Xi Bing, felt like their cultivation has leapt in bounds. So, they easily defeated their opponents, concluding the double battles of the second stage of the Intersect Competition that afternoon.

It seemed that the disciples have become addicted to training now after they tasted the sweet success of their cultivation increasing. Thus, the one day of rest before the group battles starts the next day was spent on training with Fei Yin.

But, only for them to be shocked that despite with all the hardships they suffered again this time, their cultivation remained the same. It was then that they heard Fei Yin spoke.

"Do you think cultivation is this simple?" Fei Yin said as he looked at the disciples lying on the ground. "If it is, everyone would be gladly beaten up just to make their cultivation increase." He told them.

Their already flushed faces from exhaustion turned redder when they heard what Fei Yin said. Because it was what they are doing right now.

"What I am training you for these days is to make your bodies become stronger. Of course, since the body developed, your meridians would also develop." Fei Yin explained. "But, your bodies have already reached their limit today. You are still growing. Any more torture… cough, training and you will receive the opposite of what you want. You will stunt your growth instead." He told them.

Everyone was frightened of Fei Yin's words that they didn't notice that his tongue slipped. "N – no… I still want to grow taller!" a disciple said. His eyes are wide in fear.

"So, we can conclude the training here." Fei Yin spoke. "When you grow again, maybe after a year? Then, you can come back and train in my hands again, if circumstances would permit us when that time comes." He told them.

"Yes, elder Fei!" they all answered as they cupped their fists and bowed.

"Yes, Fei-shibo!" the Xinfaxian Sect disciples answered.

"Good." Fei Yin nodded, feeling pleased. He glanced at Fei Yinzi's figure on the side whose back is straight unlike the other disciples whose backs are hunched.

Heh… learning how to be matured now, huh? Fei Yin thought.. But, you are still too young to start acting matured.
