The Scum Is A ***

Two hours later, everyone entered the tent after xiao Bao called them.

Them who saw that there was another patient. "…" what the hell is this?! They inwardly roared with dark lines covering their faces. They looked at xiao Bao, whose expression remained indifferent, and then looked at xiao Ling who is grinning at them.

Xiao Ling is completely enjoying while looking at their expressions.

"You - !" Wen Yan was about to lash out at xiao Bao and xiao Ling when Wu Lian suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, Wen Yan!" Sun Yan spoke as he also pulled the enraged Wen Yan back. "Look! Er Zi's complexion now is good, and so is your brother's!" he told Wen Yan and pointed at the other bed where Wen Wen is currently lying.

Wen Yan sharply turned and went to Wen Wen's side. Then, he sighed in relief when he saw that Wen Wen was just sleeping. There were no injuries on his body nor his clothes and hair were touched. His complexion also looks normal.

"What happened?" Wu Tie curiously asked as he looked at xiao Bao and xiao Ling.

The others also turned and looked at the two troublemaker sword spirits.

"Fei Yinzi suddenly advanced in his cultivation in the middle of our battle." Xiao Bao answered. "I held back but the qi surged inside his body. Even I…" he sighed and shook his head.

Everyone then understood. Fei Yinzi must be deeply concentrating on his fight, which is similar to meditation that required one to be fully focused. So, Fei Yinzi accidentally advanced. Xiao Bao whose body was made of qi almost was sucked in, too, to Fei Yinzi's body. Fortunately, he immediately reacted when he noticed the shift in the surroundings so he wasn't scathed.

"This is good!" everyone sincerely smiled. They are really happy for Fei Yinzi. That means that they can challenge him again like before! They suddenly felt thrill. They couldn't wait to fight Fei Yinzi again!

Xiao Ling grinned when he saw everyone's excited expressions. Youth. He thought and shook his head. Then, he looked at Fei Yinzi still sleeping on his bed. This child is really blessed after his master picked him up. He thought and smirked.

"What about my brother?" Wen Yan asked as he worriedly looked at Wen Wen sleeping on the bed. Even though there were no injuries on the surface, nor Wen Wen looked completely unharmed, he still feels uneasy for his younger brother's condition.

They all started. They turned to look at xiao Bao who crossed his arms over his chest. 

"Don't worry. We only borrowed his body to transfer our qi to Fei Yinzi's body." Xiao Bao exasperatedly rolled his eyes. "He is just exhausted. He told Wen Yan.

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples immediately understood.

Ling Yun, who can see Wen Wen's qi and meridian then explained it to the other participants. "Wen Wen possess water root." He spoke.

Those who possess water spiritual root would have a calm and gentle flow of qi. And since spiritual roots affect one's temperament, those who have water spiritual roots would have a calm and gentle temperament, too, like Wen Wen.

"So, ice and water?" Jin Yu said when he remembered that Fei Yinzi has ice spiritual root.

Fei Yinzi's master Cheng Sheng is very famous. Naturally, the people would also be curious of Cheng Sheng's disciple, not to mention that they have heard before that Cheng Sheng would never accept any disciple. But, Cheng Sheng unexpectedly accepted Fei Yinzi.

So, Fei Yinzi's life was known, including his spiritual root. Thus, it is not unusual for Jin Yu, who is an informant, to hear know this, too.

"This is reasonable." Fei Luo nodded in agreement.

Ice and water spiritual roots complements each other, thus Wen Wen being picked to assist with Fei Yinzi's recovery is reasonable.

"Of course, this also requires complete trust. Familiarity." Xiao Bao said.

Chen Su who also has a water root scratched his head. "I don't have that much affinity to Er Zi." He carelessly shrugged.

"Me, too." Sun Ri sighed in disappointment. She also has a water root.

"Wen Wen is closer to Er Zi." Cui Xiang who has a water root, too, smiled.

Wen Yan could only accept this, despite he has hidden misgivings. It is not that he wanted for Fei Yinzi to die. That is preposterous! Even if Fei Yinzi isn't a fellow disciple and just a common person, he wouldn't just leave him to die!

What Wen Yan is worried about is the method of Wen Wen passing spiritual qi to Fei Yinzi. Only he guessed that Wen Wen has kissed Fei Yinzi in order to feed Fei Yinzi medicine. Albeit he hasn't seen that scene, and he wouldn't want to.

What if xiao Bao and xiao Ling made Wen Wen pass spiritual qi to Er Zi through some improper method? Wen Yan worriedly thought as he suspiciously looked at xiao Bao and xiao Ling.

Xiao Bao's expression didn't change and xiao Ling evilly grinned when they noticed Wen Yan's gaze, though they acted like they didn't notice it. This made Wen Yan almost become incensed. Everyone sighed in relief, for Fei Yinzi's calamity now has passed, thus they didn't notice Wen Yan, xiao Bao and xiao Ling, for their attention was also on Fei Yinzi and Wen Wen.

Only Zhu Xi who has been feeling that Wen Yan seems off today noticed this standoff between one person and two sword spirits. When he saw that Wen Yan was about to explode, for Wen Yan seemed to have thought correctly the method that xiao Bao and xiao Ling had Wen Wen use to cure Fei Yinzi, Zhu Xi subtly tapped his sword, which hit Wen Yan's leg.

Wen Yan noticed that something hit his leg. He thought that someone has unintentionally hit him so he ignored it. But, that hit made him control his anger again. Thus, he unwillingly retracted his glare from the two sword spirits and went to Wen Wen's side to check his brother again.

Seeing this, Zhu Xi sighed in relief as he stood at the back.

"You are sensible." Xiao Ling said as he and xiao Bao approached him.

Zhu Xi didn't answer.

"Really. I expected that you would have you two's master's temper. I didn't expect for Wen Yan to actually have it." Xiao Ling chuckled as they watched the others check on Fei Yinzi and Wen Wen.

"Wen Yan has someone he cares about, so it is natural for him to be this angry." Zhu Xi calmly replied.

"Heh. And I didn't expect for you to be calm." Xiao Ling looked at Zhu Xi in surprise as he covered his lips with his hand while he looked at Zhu Xi. His eyes are filled with interest. "You don't even know what Wen Yan is exactly angry about… do you want to know?" he asked as his eyes narrowed.

Xiao Bao helplessly sighed and pulled xiao Ling to leave when Zhu Xi didn't answer.

"Hey. We forgot to ask them to pay us!" Zhu Xi heard xiao Ling told xiao Bao as they left.

"We will have them pay us later." Xiao Bao said as he dragged xiao Ling away.

"Wait." Zhu Xi called as he followed them.

Xiao Ling and xiao Bao turned. They didn't expect for Zhu Xi to follow them.

Xiao Ling's brows raised. "Finally wanting to ask?" he asked and grinned like the devil.

Zhu Xi ignored him. "What payment will you ask in exchange of treating Er Zi?" he asked.

"Not much. Wen Wen helped us after all." Xiao Bao said. "We can only ask for points for remuneration." He answered.

"How much?" Zhu Xi asked.

Xiao Bao answered an amount. Indeed, it wasn't too expensive nor too cheap.

"I will pay." Zhu Xi said as he took out his Cleansing Stone.

"Yo. Aren't you rich?" Xiao Ling grinned as he happily took Zhu Xi's points. "You aren't afraid to be eliminated since your points have now become hanging on the point threshold?" he asked as he dangerously smiled at Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi remained calm. "No. I still have the rest of the day to take back those points." He answered.

Indeed, xiao Bao and xiao Ling have now finished their quota of attacking the participants today. Also, the participants now have found out the conditions and know how to counterattack. Thus, Zhu Xi is definitely safe. Thus, he is very confident.

"Tch." Xiao Ling clicked his tongue in annoyance while xiao Bao patted his head to comfort him. Xiao Ling's fun now has been spoiled.

"Goodbye. See you tomorrow." Zhu Xi said and cupped his hands at them. He was about to leave when xiao Ling called him.

"Hey! Alright! You are really calculative!" xiao Ling sighed in defeat. "Paying us our remuneration so that I will be happy and then tell you what Wen Yan is being odd about today… tch." He shook his head as he looked at Zhu Xi. "You really aren't simple as you looked." He grinned.

Zhu Xi didn't answer and just waited for xiao Ling to talk.
