Chapter 652 - The Scum Is Peerless

"Even if it was our clan's fault of what happened in the past, this isn't an excuse to neglect our own family just to repay for our sins." Sun Rong said. His expression is ugly.

Sun Ri bit her lip. She doesn't know what to say. All she knows is that this isn't her brother Sun Yan's fault. "Big uncle…" she called. "Brother also only wants to protect me. Even if he can protect me by his side, but until when?" she asked and looked at Sun Rong. "Staying in the camp of the Xinfaxian Sect is more secured then me staying with him. Brother also wouldn't have to be tired, both due to the competition and me. And I will just be a distraction to him." she explained and took a deep breath.

Sun Rong didn't speak. Sun Ri smiled. She knows that Sun Rong isn't that indifferent. Why did Sun Rong leave the clan before? It was because he was disappointed by the Sun Clan who gave all the authority of the Shanliangde Sect to Fei Lin's father and Xi Peng who were obviously villains. Fortunately, these two scums' reign didn't last long and the Shanliangde Sect fell into Fei Huang's hands.

If Sun Rong was indifferent, he wouldn't have sent clothes and foods to the sect. He wouldn't have supported the Shanliangde Sect financially. The Shanliangde Sect would have long starved to death in the mountains and died of cold because they didn't have enough clothes to wear and battle against the cold temperature.

Thus, Sun Ri knows that Sun Rong actually deeply cares about the family. It can be seen when Sun Yi left and he took care of Sun Yi, excluding the reason that he has a brother complex towards Sun Yi.

"Uncle…" Sun Rin called and hugged Sun Rong.

Sun Rong helplessly sighed in defeat. "Fine. I won't find Sun Yan after the competition and teach him a lesson." He said.

"Yes!" Sun Ri cheered and happily laughed.

"But – " Sun Rong looked at her.

"Hm?" Sun Ri smiled.

"You aren't a disappointment, child." Sun Rong said.

Sun Ri froze. His big uncle actually heard her earlier! She looked at Sun Rong in shock.

"You are still young, and it was already great of you to be able to refine a treasure." Sun Rong said as he looked at the whip on Sun Ri's waist. "Do you know what I did after I heard that your talent lied on treasure refining? I asked Cheng Sheng, and Cheng Sheng was also surprise by this. He then suggested to the Righteous Alliance to make a sixth area of alchemy to encourage young people like you to refine treasures, which had long been going on." He told her.

Sun Ri's eyes are red as she looked at Sun Rong. She didn't expect that there would be something like this.

"I asked Cheng Sheng what to do, since I heard that treasure refining isn't very easy, and is actually just less harder than Array Drawing." Sun Rong continued. "Cheng Sheng affirmed that treasure refining is the second most difficult in the area of alchemy, for not only it consumes a lot of qi, but it also consumes a lot of mental power." He explained.

Sun Ri was surprised.

"So, child, you aren't a disappointment. Instead, you are our pride." Sun Rong told her and smiled. He patted her head before he left.

Sun Ri was left there standing in shock. Then, her tears fell. "Thank you, big uncle." She said and smiled.

…

Cheng Sheng yawned after he woke up. Then, he received the letter that Fei Yin gave him which is from Sun Rong. "Mn… tell him I will accept his niece as a disciple after the competition." He said.

Fei Yin nodded and turned to Qie Shi who smiled. "Thank you." Qie Shi said before he happily left.

"Sun Ri, huh… I was really surprised when Sun Rong told me about her." Cheng Sheng said as he nibbled on the meat bun given to him by Fei Yin. "It seems that every generation surpass the other generation." He sighed with emotion.

Fei Yin stared at him.

"What?" Cheng Sheng innocently blinked at him.

"… you just want me to compliment you, don't you?" Fei Yin asked.

"Hm?" Cheng Sheng smiled.

Fei Yin can't help but laugh. "Yes, yes. My beloved is peerless." He said as he hugged Cheng Sheng by the waist. "No one can surpass you." He told him.

"Of course!" Cheng Sheng agreed with his nose pointing to the sky.

Fei Yin smiled in amusement. "Right… there is also this." He said as he took out the box containing the foreign talisman.

Cheng Sheng took it and opened it. "Who gave this to you?" he asked.

"Xiao Ling." Fei Yin honestly answered.

Cheng Sheng's brow twitched. "He didn't say anything to you, did he?" he asked.

"No." Fei Yin smiled.

Cheng Sheng suspiciously looked at him. Then, he sighed in defeat. He knows that xiao Ling has a blind worship towards him and xiao Ling extremely doesn't like Fei Yin. Naturally, it is because Fei Yin occupies the largest area in Cheng Sheng's heart, as well as Cheng Sheng's attention. Especially that time before when it only Fei Yin and xiao Ling who Cheng Sheng had and xiao Ling competed with Fei Yin for Cheng Sheng's attention and affection, which always left xiao Ling in defeat. Thus, xiao Ling hated Fei Yin very much.

"Xiao Sheng?" Fan Wen called as he peeked inside the room where Cheng Sheng is eating his meal.

"Shifu!" Cheng Sheng called.

Fan Wen smiled as he walked towards them. "How are you feeling?" he asked as he sat beside Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng shared the meat buns with Fan Wen. Fan Wen looked at Fei Yin. Seeing that Fei Yin didn't object, Fan Wen smiled and took a meat bun.

"Da shixiong has taken care of me very well. I feel very good now!" Cheng Sheng answered.

Fan Wen nodded. "That's good." He sighed in relief. "Won't you watch the competition?" he asked and glanced at the box containing the foreign talisman.

"No." Cheng Sheng answered.

Fan Wen can't hide the disappointment on his face.

"The participants have already passed the dangers hidden in the competition." Cheng Sheng said. "Now, they will resume the normal competition without any distractions to impede them again." He told Fan Wen.

Fan Wen sighed in pity. "Er Zi is performing brilliantly right now. You really won't see him?" he asked and looked at Cheng Sheng with expectation filling his eyes.

Cheng Sheng felt a whole meat bun is stuck in his throat as he looked at Fan Wen. Meanwhile, Fei Yin chuckled.

Cheng Sheng hit Fei Yin. "Alright. I will drop by later to watch after I finish my food." He sighed in defeat. He just can't refuse their master. "And after that, I had to go and see father and former sect leader Wu along with elder Fei and elder Xi to ask them for the update of the investigation." He told Fan Wen.

Fan Wen nodded and smiled, feeling very happy. "I know that you are busy. This is already good enough, xiao Sheng!" he said.

Cheng Sheng helplessly sighed as they watched Fan Wen left while humming.

"Shifu ah…" Cheng Sheng sighed and shook his head.

"Shifu just wants you to look at your disciple. Why does he have to force you to do it?" Fei Yin asked as he poured Cheng Sheng's cup with tea.

"Er Zi is your biological nephew. Why don't you look after him?" Cheng Sheng asked back as he looked at Fei Yin.

Fei Yin smiled and kissed Cheng Sheng's smart mouth. "Fine. You win." He said.

Cheng Sheng broke into a loud laughter. He knows that Fei Yin doesn't like Fei Yinzi since he and Fei Yinzi are similar in temperament. Before, Cheng Sheng has noticed this that is why he once mistaken Fei Yinzi as Fei Yin. Fortunately, he recalled that Fei Yinzi is blood-related to Fei Yin.

And this is the reason why Fei Yin hates Fei Yinzi despite the latter is his nephew. Not only are they similar in temperament, Cheng Sheng also almost had a romantic relationship with Fei Yinzi before. Fortunately, albeit Cheng Sheng is a scum, his ethics held him back from starting anything with Fei Yinzi. And his instinct didn't fail to tell him that Fei Yin will be back, but not as Fei Yinzi!

"Hand." Fei Yin spoke as he took out his handkerchief.

Cheng Sheng gave his hands to Fei Yin and Fei Yin gently wiped each of his fingers. "I really had you too cheap." He said and smiled as he stared at Fei Yin's serious handsome face while he wipe his fingers.

"It isn't too cheap if I am willing." Fei Yin said and also smiled. "On the contrary, I am the one who had you too cheap." He said and looked at Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng giggled. "It isn't too cheap, since I am willing.." He told him.
