Chapter 557 - The Scum Is Gullible

Name:The Scum Is A Author:HuilongShenghou
"What's wrong with this guy?" Su Yi asked as they followed behind Qian Jue.

Qian Jue wanted to tell them about Qian Meng but he is too tired to speak. He is reserving his strength to save Qian Meng.

"He asked if his brother is with us." Tang Li spoke. "But, Qian Meng isn't with us. Qian Meng also isn't with him." he said.

"Could it be, Qian Meng is missing?!" Jing Xu exclaimed and looked at Qian Jue who almost collapsed due to exhaustion.

Su Mi is a woman of action. "Let's go split up and find Qian Meng!" she suggested. "Su Yi, you stay here and heal his wounds. Give him medicine for his wounds to heal faster and regain his strength so he can also find his brother!" she said.

"Yes!" they answered and split up with Qian Jue and Su Yi left.



"Finally!" everyone cried in relief when they saw that someone has finally figured out the Qianxu Sect's problem.

They saw that after Qian Meng begged the rogue cultivator, the rogue cultivator 'agreed' that he will help him because he felt guilty after. But, as soon as Qian Meng turned his back on him to run back to help Qian Jue, he hit Qian Meng's back, making Qian Meng fell down. Then, he pointed a sword to Qian Meng's neck.

"You are so gullible, little rabbit." The rogue cultivator, Ke Lu, said as he looked down on Qian Meng. "I wonder how sheltered you are for you to be this gullible?" he asked.

Qian Meng didn't answer. In fact, he isn't gullible. It is just that his emotions are all over the place that affected his judgement because Qian Jue is in danger. Thus, he believed Ke Lu.

"Stand up." Ke Lu spoke.

Qian Meng didn't move.

Ke Lu's eyes narrowed and he inched the tip of his sword closer to Qian Meng's neck making Qian Meng's skin bleed. "Are you also deaf?" he asked.

Qian Meng still didn't move. So be it if he dies! He is the one who left Qian Jue behind. But, he will take this bastard down with him so that he can't harm Qian Jue again! He thought as his eyes flashed with burning spirit.

Ke Lu's expression changed when he saw that the look in Qian Meng's eyes changed. He wanted to take a step back, while Qian Meng was about to draw his sword, when a sword flew towards Ke Lu's direction!

CLANG! The sound of a sword hitting another sword resounded in the surrounding and was followed by a barely audible voice. "You… stay away from him!" it was Qian Jue.

Ke Lu was surprised that Qian Jue is still alive. He wanted to use his sword but his sword flew away earlier when Qian Jue hit it. Thus, he reached for Qian Meng to use the other as his hostage. He knows that Qian Jue wants to kill him!

But, just as his hand was about to reach Qian Jue, a ball of fire hit his hand. "AAAAAH!!!" he screamed as he took a few steps back and flailed his hand to put out the fire.

Qian Meng's heart almost stopped when he saw the ball of fire. He thought he will be scorched, too! "Ge!" he called and ran towards Qian Jue after picking up Qian Jue's sword, and that Ke Lu's sword in passing so that this despicable person would be weaponless.

"Qian Meng." Qian Jue leaned on the tree to borrow support. Then, he turned to Su Yi. "You almost hit Qian Meng!" he told him.

"But, I didn't." Su Yi shrugged. "I am accurate in my attacks. See?" he pointed Ke Lu whose hands were burnt.

Qian Meng shivered in fear.

"Eh? So this is where your brother is!" Tang Li spoke as he, Jing Xu and Su Mu descended. If they didn't hear Ke Lu's scream, they wouldn't find them.

Qian Jue nodded. After he regained his strength, he immediately ran to the direction where Ke Lu and Qian Meng ran. In fact, he saw Tang Li, Jing Xu and Su Mi ran to a wrong direction but his strength was depleted that time, and they rushed to find Qian Meng so they got no time to see him sending them a sign. Su Yi was also looking for medicines.

Although Qian Jue wanted to laugh, and also cry for this, he also felt touched and grateful for them.

"He is?" Jing Xu asked as they looked at Ke Lu.

"He provoked the demons and lured them to us when he saw us to use us as meat shields for him to have time to run." Qian Meng explained.

"What a bastard!" Su Mi glared at Ke Lu in disgust.

Ke Lu glared at them. But, they outnumber, much less overpower him, so he ran away, forgetting his sword.

"Should we chase him?" Jing Xu asked while Tang Li prepared to fly after Ke Lu.

"No. We are not bullies." Su Mi taught these guys.

"Yes." Jing Xu and Tang Li nodded.

"Su Yi, how is he?" Su Mi asked as they approached.

"Can barely move. He exhausted himself just now by talking and throwing his sword." Su Yi answered as Qian Meng gave Qian Jue his sword for him to use as a support.

"Carry him and we'll take them with us. Xiang-shimei can check him." Su Mi spoke as she grabbed the startled Qian Lin, making him drop Ke Lu's sword.

Jing Xu and Tang Li carried the almost unconscious Qian Jue while Su Yi flew after them after he picked up Ke Lu's sword. He doesn't know why but he felt that there is strange with the sword. He placed it inside his qiankun pouch and have Cheng Sheng check it out when they come out of the space when this round ends.



Ke Lu hissed in pain as he applied medicine on his hand that was burnt by Su Yi. "That bastard looked dull but he is actually savage!" he said, referring to Su Yi. He saw the first layer of his skin peeled off after he poured water on his hand. He felt his anger increased. "I'll kill him! I'll chop his hands off before I kill him!" he gnashed his teeth as he hit the surface of the water due to irritation.



"Wah! This guy has a problem in his brain!" the audience said.

Li Tian frowned. Naturally, he felt displeased with this participant.

"Thank you for your disciples saving our Qian Meng and Qian Jue." Qian Tian rose and cupped his fists at them and Qian Lin followed him. They gratefully bowed, especially to the Xinfaxian Sect.

At this time, Su Mi's group with two new members added safely reached their base and they immediately took Qian Jue to Cui Xiang to treat him. It was really fortunate that Cui Xiang is also a doctor, albeit still an apprentice. She learned the skills from her master, You Rou, and of course, Cheng Sheng.

"It's nothing! It's nothing!" the elders answered. "Everyone likes to help each other!" they said.

Everything seemed to calm down. They then resumed watching the competition while Cheng Sheng had a pensive look as he looked at the qiankun pouch, which is hanging on Su Yi's waist, that contained Ke Lu's sword.

"What's wrong?" Fei Yin asked and followed the direction where Cheng Sheng is looking at.

It seemed to be in Su Yi's… waist? He thought. His expression froze. No. Cheng Sheng shouldn't have an interest towards Su Yi. Then, it should be on the thing that hanging by Su Yi's waist.

… qiankun pouch. Fei Yin thought. What's in that qiankun pouch of Su Yi again? "… sword?" he muttered and looked at Cheng Sheng. He remembered that Su Yi picked up at participant's sword that Qian Meng dropped and placed it inside his qiankun pouch.

Cheng Sheng smiled at him when he heard what he said. "Oh, da shixiong. How tacit the understanding between us is!" he exclaimed and patted Fei Yin's cheek.

The others who saw Cheng Sheng flirting with Fei Yin and they almost poked their eyes after they got blinded. "…" damn it! We are seriously watching the competition here. Can you go flirt somewhere else?! They inwardly complained.

Cheng Sheng just roared in laughter. Forget it. I will wait until the time Ling Yun sees it and everyone discovers it. He thought as he laid his head on Fei Yin's shoulder. Then, he lowered his head, as if he wanted to take a nap, to hide the smile that disappeared on his lips. It seems that the enemies are hidden too deeply. He thought. I am afraid that the disciples won't be spared. He thought and imperceptibly sighed.

Fei Yin, as well as the others, thought that Cheng Sheng was tired so they casted a barrier around them that could block sounds as well as lowered their voices so that they won't disturb his sleep.
