Chapter 609 - The Scum Is Gentle

Everyone's face fell. "…" what the fck!!! They all inwardly roared as their faces turned pale in horror. Er Zi… Er Zi might die?!?! They thought as they looked at xiao Bao in shock.

But, xiao Bao misunderstood them. "What? Do you think I am sowing discord?" he sneered. "I am not that low." He told them and frowned.

Xiao Ling laughed. "That's not what they meant." He told xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao's expression eased and he looked at xiao Ling.

But, xiao Ling is looking at the participants. "So? Who will you choose?" he asked them and evilly grinned.

Everyone fell silent. The Shanliangde Sect disciples, Wu Tie and Jin Yu, Jing De and Jing Xu, Qian Jue and Qian Meng, He Shun and Qi Lan, and Tang Li and Li Yan all looked at the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples while the Youxiwang Sect disciples are looking at the Xinfaxian Sect disciples.

Chen Wu, Wu Lian, Chen Su and Chen Yu already knows that they aren't the closest ones to Fei Yinzi. It is definitely the Xinfaxian Sect disciples. But… who to choose?

"Not me… Er Zi is a gentleman to us ladies." Cui Xiang helplessly smiled as he looked at Cui Xiao and Su Mi who both nodded in agreement.

Everyone know this. There is a distance between men and women after all. They all looked at the ones who left – Wen Yan, Zhu Xi and Su Yi.

"Yi-ge, it should be you." Zhu Xi spoke as he looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi's brows knitted. "No. Not me." He shook his head. "Er Zi treats me equally as you and Yan-ge." He said and looked at Wen Yan, who has been silent since earlier.

Everyone realized that Wen Yan has not spoken all along, which is unusual.

"Wen Yan?" Zhu Xi called.

Wen Yan looked at him, then the others. "… don't you all think that we are one person short?" he asked them.

"… huh?" they muttered and looked at each other before they finally noticed.

"Wen Wen!" Sun Ri realized it.

The others were also surprised. "Wen Wen is very close to Er Zi?" Sun Yan asked.

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples' cloudy faces finally cleared. "That's right!" they answered.

"Oh. That's right. He and Er Zi also are sharing a tent!" Tang Li said. Li Yan nodded in agreement.

"So, it is Wen Wen?" Qian Meng asked. Qian Jue, who is sitting beside him, however, has a pensive expression.

"Yes! The Jixu Peak and the Chengshi Peak are the ones closest to each other, so Er Zi and Wen Wen always hang out." Cui Xiang spoke.

Cheng Sheng is the master of the Jixu Peak while Lei Ling, Wen Wen's master, is the master of the Chengshi Peak.

"Right… Cheng-shishu and Lei-shishu are also very close." Su Yi said. "My master sometimes complains about it, saying that Lei-shishu has stolen Cheng-shishu from him." he told them.

"You are right… our master also complains that, too." Zhu Xi said, referring to Feng Mo who is his and Wen Yan's master.

Everyone listened and felt warm in their hearts. Cheng Sheng is regarded by his fellow disciples.

Chen Wu sighed in relief. He turned to xiao Bao and xiao Ling who are quietly listening. "We choose Wen Wen." He told xiao Bao.

"Wait!" Wen Yan suddenly spoke.

They all looked at him.

Wen Yan looked at xiao Bao in the eyes. "Will this harm Wen Wen?" he asked.

Their eyes widened. Right… Wen Wen is Wen Yan's brother! Naturally, if this will be harmful to Wen Wen, Wen Yan just wouldn't sit back and watch! And also Fei Yinzi… even if Fei Yinzi's life is in danger, they know that Fei Yinzi would never use others to save his life.

Xiao Bao frowned while xiao Ling laughed. "Do you think we will take others' life just to save another ones?" xiao Ling asked them.

Their faces suddenly flushed in shame.

"Of course this wouldn't harm your brother." Xiao Ling looked at Wen Yan. "Although, you are really caring of him to ask us for precaution." He said before he and xiao Bao entered Fei Yinzi's and Wen Wen's tent.

They all sighed in relief, and Wen Yan's clenched fists finally closed. But, after a while, they suddenly realized something. "…" damn these two evil sword spirits! They inwardly cursed. Not only do they know where Er Zi is, they also know where Wen Wen is! Yet they dared to act earlier, asking, and now blatantly marched to the tent!

But, although they are secretly complaining to xiao Bao and xiao Ling, they didn't dare voice their complaints. They stayed outside and anxiously waited.

…

Xiao Bao and xiao Ling who are about to enter the tent suddenly paused. Fortunately, the participants are nervous and didn't dare to look at them two so they didn't notice their momentary pause.

"In." xiao Bao spoke.

Xiao Ling nodded and they went in. They weren't surprised now of what they seen inside since they have felt it when they approached the tent.

The tent's walls, including the entrance, were pasted with countless talismans that blocks the qi from leaking outside. So, none of them felt it earlier, including Ling Yun, and even xiao Bao and xiao Ling who are sword spirits and the most sensitive with qi, for their bodies are made of qi.

"I don't know whether I should compliment this kid for being a talented talisman maker, or curse him for being stupid." Xiao Ling said as he rubbed his chin while they look at Wen Wen who was kneeling beside Fei Yinzi's bed and is unconscious.

Obviously, it was Wen Wen who pasted the Qi Blocking Talismans all around, and even made a talisman array for security. But, xiao Bao and xiao Ling have higher cultivation than him. However, it has to be said that they were slightly affected. As for the others outside who have higher cultivation than Wen Wen, Wen Wen, although his cultivation is lower than theirs, his talismans are very powerful, adding to the talisman array.

"This kid has a promising future. Fortunately, he wasn't dead." Xiao Bao said as they approached Wen Wen whose face is very pale. "Qi Gathering Array." He said and looked at the array beneath Fei Yinzi's bed. "If your master know of this, he will definitely be happy to have a successor." He told xiao Ling.

The Qi Gathering Array is an array drawn and not just of talismans, so Wen Wen actually knows how to draw array! But, fortunately, the one he made is not a dangerous one, and it helped momentarily suppress Fei Yinzi's chaotic qi inside his body.

"Who…?" Wen Wen weakly spoke when he felt movements behind him.

"Eat this first. You will need it later." Xiao Ling said as he made Wen Wen eat a magic pill.

Wen Wen felt that the newcomers aren't hostile so he ate the magic pill before xiao Ling helped him drink some water. After a few seconds, Wen Wen felt invigorated. "… xiao Ling…? xiao Bao…?" he muttered and blinked when he recognized the two.

"Feeling better now?" xiao Ling asked while xiao Bao remained silent.

Wen Wen felt his strength returned and he nodded. "What happened to Er Zi?" he asked them. Then, he looked at xiao Bao, who froze when he recalled something.

"… I still haven't told them that Er Zi has advanced to another level in the middle of our battle…" xiao Bao said with his expression deadpan.

Xiao Ling laughed. Everyone was distracted earlier so they didn't notice this.

Wen Wen was stunned. "Er Zi advanced?!" he exclaimed. "But, his qi… will it be a problem to his advancement in cultivation now that his qi is chaotic?!" he worriedly asked and looked at Fei Yinzi whose brows are knit.

"If he is lucky, his advancement will actually become smoother." Xiao Bao answered.

Wen Wen isn't that stupid. Since xiao Bao and xiao Ling came here without the others, naturally, it has something to do with him. "What should I do?" he asked.

"Don't worry. It won't cost your life." Xiao Ling patted Wen Wen's back. Compared to Ling Yun, he likes simpler kids like Wen Wen.

Xiao Bao exasperatedly sighed as he looked at xiao Ling. "We actually already noticed that your qi is gentle. Reasonable, since your root is of water." He said. "Water also complements ice, which is Fei Yinzi's root." He looked at Fei Yinzi.

"Even if the others would pick someone earlier… we are just messing with them and they took it seriously. Hahahaha." Xiao Ling laughed.

Xiao Bao already knows this hobby of xiao Ling and he felt helpless. "But, it is true that we also have to pick someone close to Fei Yinzi since Fei Yinzi might reject another person's qi. The root is just a secondary option." He explained. "Though, if it would be fire, we will definitely reject it… hey." He looked at xiao Ling. "Is it a coincidence that these two became close? Their roots complements each other." He said.

Wen Wen who is dizzy with their conversation. "…"

Xiao Ling whose lip twitched. "…" what ideas are you having now?! Not everyone is a cut-sleeve like our masters!
