Chapter 73 - The Scum Is Benevolent

Chen Han scoffed and looked away from Xi Shi as if Xi Shi is an eyesore. "The Youxiwang Sect is benevolent, and this young master isn't petty." Chen Han coldly said.

Hearing those words, Sun Yi spoke. "My da shixiong doesn't want to see young master Xi." He told them with a smile, but it was a sarcastic smile. He was clearly referring to Xi Shi as an eyesore.

Xi Ming's expression stiffened while Xi Ning's smile became wider. Xi Xing remained silent while Xi Shi's face turned green. He wanted to speak but he saw Sun Yi's gaze. Seeing Sun Yi's smile became brighter, Xi Shi's heart became cold. Sun Yi wants to kill him! Chen Han came from a loving family, but Sun Yi didn't! In fact, Sun Yi is the second young master of the Sun family of the Shanliang – the third family supporting the Shanliangde Sect! They are just being low-key since their eldest young master – Sun Rong, is humble but he is a businessman. On the other hand, their eldest miss – Sun Xin, Sun Yi's elder sister, is always in close cultivation in the Shanliangde Sect. Sun Yi is the third child in the Sun Family. The Sun Family is aloof.

Xi Shi gritted his teeth. Even though the Sun Family is low-key, but their value in the Shanliangde Sect is higher than the Xi Family because, despite their eldest young master became a businessman, but all of the Sun family members – excluding Sun Rong and Sun Yi, are part of the Shanliangde Sect. The Xi Family only risen because of Xi Peng and Xi Ling. But, they are still below the Sun Family. Only a few people know the Sun Family since they really are humble and low-key. They are withdrawn from the worldly matters – just like real immortals. "I – I thank Chen-shixiong for his benevolence!" Xi Shi said and immediately returned to their group, just in time to see Sun Yi had withdrawn his sword from its scabbard an inch.

Sun Yi's smile became wider. "Young master Xi is really good at escaping." He laughed, but it was filled with disdain.

Xi Shi could only endure this insult. Xi Ming also understood Sun Yi's behavior. Sun Yi wants to punish Xi Shi since Chen Han, who should, couldn't. Not because Chen Han is afraid of the Xi Family – the Chen Family could trample the Xi Family. However, Chen Han is soft-hearted despite he's already mad. Thus, Sun Yi could only act as the bad guy. He also thinks Xi Shi is an eyesore, thus he gladly wants to punish Xi Shi on Chen Han's behalf. But, he gave Xi Ming face by dawdling. If Xi Shi was dumb and didn't retreat in time, he would have received Sun Yi's attack.

The Shanliangde Sect disciples are not dumb. They coldly sweated as they looked at Sun Yii's sword that slowly retreated in its scabbard. Xi Ning angrily looked at Xi Shi cowering behind Xi Ming. Xi Ning hated Xi Shi for making the Shanliangde Sect lose face.

"Sun-shidi. That's enough." Chen Han finally spoke. Sun Yi immediately took a step back. At this time, the Youxiwang Sect disciples finally found them and joined them. Then, they saw the Shanliangde Sect disciples whose face turned green after seeing the also large number of the Youxiwang Sect. "Xi-xiong." Chen Han called Xi Ming. "I hope you can discipline your fellow disciples next time – family, or not." He said. "I can't promise you that I'll hold back next time. My good temper doesn't last forever – unless it's for my younger brother." He smiled at the mention of Cheng Sheng. "If I saw something that displeases me next time, I'll cut them down. That time, I hope Xi-xiong would not blame me." He told Xi Ming.

Xi Ming sighed, feeling his heart heavy. He was itching to kick Xi Shi, but he had to do it out of the Youxiwang Sect's eyes. "I understand, Chen-xiong. I will discipline them next time, and to not appear before you again lest they'd offend you." Xi Ming said and cupped his hands towards Chen Han. He's neither too humble, nor overbearing.

Chen Han nodded at him, then he turned to Sun Yi and his fellow disciples. "Let's go find Ah Sheng and Ah Tian!" he told them.

"The second young master and da shixiong's wife!" the Youxiwang Sect exclaimed and they immediately followed Chen Han, looking so excited. Sun Yi helplessly smiled and shrugged. He nodded at Xi Ming, who was as shocked as his fellow disciples after they heard what the Youxiwang Sect disciples said, and then left.

"Chen Han's… wife?" Xi Ming muttered and he turned to Xi Ning. "Chen Han has a wife now?" he said.

Xi Ning's eyes flashed. She looked interested in this person who could capture someone like Chen Han. Xi Xing just remained as part of the background. Meanwhile, Xi Shi has the biggest reaction. His face turned pale, then red in anger, and then green in envy. Chen Han! You found a wife! He thought and glared at the direction Chen Han, Sun Yi and the rest of the Youxiwang Sect disciples had left.

Xi Ming sighed in dismay. "Uncle Ling is together with Elder Fei." He said, referring to Xi Ling and Fei Lin. "Even sect leader Fei has a lover!" he exclaimed. He's referring to Fei Huang and Mu Jun – Fei Huang's rumored lover. "Sun Yi is in a relationship with Wu Yuan. Now, Chen Han has a wife!" he shook his head. "Everyone has a partner now." He said.

Xi Ning patted his shoulder. "Da ge. Don't be sad." She said. "I will accompany you." She told him.

"What good will a younger sister do?" Xi Ming said. "You'll have to marry someone in the future." He told her.

Xi Ning just shrugged. Xi Ming didn't speak further and just told his fellow disciples to go on their own. Xi Shi was ignored, including Xi Xing who has a low presence. After he heard what Xi Ming said, Xi Xing's eyes brightened. He was about to leave to find Gong Xian, but he was pulled back by Xi Ming. Xi Xing frowned, but Xi Ming carried him like a dog while they wandered around the capital.

On the other side of the capital, the Xinfaxian Sect disciples finally arrived. Their green sleeves fluttering like the bamboo leaves being blown by the wind. When people saw them, they felt refreshed and can feel the gentle summer breeze. They can see the green bamboos humbly bending.

However, this illusion was broken when they went straight to a restaurant and bought drinks to refill their bottles – especially Cheng Sheng who talked all the way until he ran out of water. Fei Yin naturally gave him his water, thus, Fei Yin also ran out of water.

"Ah!" Cheng Sheng exclaimed, feeling refreshed after he drank the cold water. "So good!" he exclaimed.

Lei Ling, who's the culprit why Cheng Sheng became talkative, looked around and felt dizzy after seeing more and more people. "C-Cheng-shixiong… where do you think I can sell my talismans?" he asked Cheng Sheng. He already decided to be like Cheng Sheng – his idol, who never feared anyone (aside Xie Lan), brave and also very confident. Cheng Sheng told him the first step to become confident is to make business – selling goods. For Lei Ling, he can sell his talismans. If Fan Wen would know about this, Cheng Sheng's ears will be twisted and he would be beaten up by Xie Lan for angering their mother. Yes – Xie Lan is cool with anything they will do, except angering Fan Wen.

"You can start with our fellow participants in the Intersect Competition." Cheng Sheng said.

"W-who can I sell these to? I – I don't know anyone I could…" Lei Ling said.

"How about me?" a voice spoke behind them. When they turned, they saw a young master wearing golden robes. A fan painted with never-ending forest was on his hand, and he has a bright smile on his face. "Greetings." The person greeted first and he cupped his hands. "I am Qian Lin, the second young master of the Qianxu Sect." he introduced himself.
