The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 156 - The Scum Is Clairvoyant



The Zunjingde Sect can\'t test the severity of Fei Yin\'s words. They dare not to since they are not familiar with him. Thus, they had Jing Cheng cook for them. Why Jing Cheng?

"I don\'t want my Yiyi to cook for someone other than me." Jing Bai said with a smile.

"Stop calling me with that nickname!" Zheng Yi told Jing Bai. But, he didn\'t disagree with what Jing Bai said. He really can\'t cook.

"Not Ah Lin!" Jing Hei said as he pulled Qian Lin to him. "I already tasted the food he cooked before. I don\'t want to be poisoned again – ngh!" he cried when Qian Lin twisted his1 arm and hit his2 head with his3 forehead.

"…" Jing Cheng was speechless with his foster brothers. Then, he turned to Jing Kang, only to see Jing Kang\'s hands are empty.

"I\'m already full." Jing Kang said.

"…" Jing Cheng doesn\'t want to make Jing Kang cook, too, since he highly respects him and he knows Jing Kang doesn\'t know, much less do, household chores. Thus, the task of cooking fell on him.

He was orphaned at an early age before Jing Bai and Jing Hei\'s parents – his biological parents\' friends, adopted him. If he didn\'t learn how to cook, he would have already died from hunger when his parents left him alone in life.

Thus, the Zunjingde Sect\'s stomach was saved by Jing Cheng – their leader. Jing Kang, even though he said he\'s full earlier, still ate again. They had enough resources anyway, only that no one can cook in their team. They only know how to grill meat, like what they did yesterday for their dinner.

"Looks like we can\'t hunt at night." Jing Hei said as they looked outside the tunnel they found when they were climbing down the rock wall of ravine. Then, when he turned, he saw Cheng Sheng was lying on the quilt and is about to sleep. "You\'re already sleeping?!" he asked.

"I forgot to tell you. I\'m half-incarnation of a gluttonous ghost. The other half is a sloth." Cheng Sheng said as he lie down the pillow Fei Yin placed beneath his head.

"…" the Zunjingde Sect who can\'t help but envy the Xinfaxian Sect again. How can they still bring quilts and pillows?

Fei Yin seemed to perceive their thoughts when he saw their gaze. "I only have foods and quilts and pillows in my qiankun pouch." He said. "My shidi can provide for me the magic pills, potions and talismans if I would need one." He explained.

"…" the Zunjingde Sect who can\'t help but envy Fei Yin. It must be great to have a convenient shidi! They thought. On their side, they\'re all sword cultivators aside from Jing Kang who is a mage. They are confident in their strength, but they can\'t be overconfident in case something unexpected happened.

Qian Lin perceived the change in the atmosphere and he opened his mouth to speak. "Second young master Chen. Can I buy magic pills and talismans again1?" he asked and smiled. "It would be great if you can also sell us potions." He added.

Cheng Sheng\'s eyes that are about to close snapped open. "Okay." He answered and smiled as he took out a qiankun pouch from his sleeve and then opened it.

The Zunjingde Sect held their breath when they saw batches of bottles containing shining magic pills. It\'s as if they can smell the fragrant medicinal scent even if their lid is closed.

"Since we can\'t hunt for tonight, why don\'t we do business?" Cheng Sheng asked as he smiled. He held a bottle of magic pills while he waved the talismans on his other hand. Fei Yin was taking out potions from another qiankun pouch.

"…" the Zunjingde Sect who felt they were deceived. He had planned this, right? He already expected this to happen. They thought and was forced to buy magic pills, talismans and potions.

On the Shanliangde Sect side, they had just finished their dinner, too.

"Uhm…" Fu An spoke. "I have something to tell everyone." He said.

"What is it?" Xi Ming asked.

"Uhm… I ran out of magic pills and talismans." Fu An said and sighed as he opened his empty qiankun pouch. "I\'m sorry." He said as he teared up. He is the weakest in their group since they\'re all sword cultivators while he is a mage. He isn\'t a junior apprentice mage since he has no master. A mage had to have a master for him to be guided or else he might cause a trouble in the future in case he had made a mistake.

For example, a pill refiner mage. If he wasn\'t guided and he used wrong ingredients, then sold the magic pills, it will harm his customers and also he will shame himself and will lose his mage badge and his privilege as a mage. Thus, one needed a master to be a full-fledged mage.

Fu An looked at them as he apologized. He apologized since he knows the Shanliangde Sect – especially Xi Ming, felt responsible of his teammates, including them1 who are strangers to him. Xi Ming wouldn\'t leave them behind, nor would let them die. Thus he had a disagreement with Jing Cheng yesterday and split up from the Zunjingde Sect. The Shanliangde Sect is this upright people. And he felt grateful for it.

Though he agreed with Xi Ming yesterday, but it is a different matter if you\'re the one is the position. He can condone Cheng Sheng yesterday for leaving Jie Mei to die. However, since it was him now who was in the same position as Jie Mei, of course he\'d change his mind. "I – if… If I\'ll drag you tomorrow…" he said. I definitely would, considering I consumed all my life-saving props now. He thought. "Just… you can leave me behind. I won\'t resent you. I promise!" he said as his tears are about to fall. Even if he said that, but of course, he\'s still scared. However, he doesn\'t want to take advantage of the Shanliangde Sect anymore.

"That\'s…" Xi Ming said. How can he not know Fu An\'s intentions? They were given an example yesterday by Cheng Sheng.

Perhaps... Cheng Sheng had expected this situation to happen to other teams? He thought as he felt his heart sank.

Cheng Sheng had predicted this situation would happen, thus he had given them a demonstration.

Fu An saw the conflict in Xi Ming\'s expression. "D-don\'t worry. I – it might not be that worse tomorrow…" he said and took a deep breath before his eyes widened when he realized something. "I – I can buy magic pills and talismans!" he said and smiled. "There\'s Cheng Sheng. Maybe he can sell me some tomorrow." he told them.

"But, do you know where will Cheng Sheng be tomorrow?" Xiong Si asked. He didn\'t mean anything bad. He\'s just straightforward. 

Xi Xing has always been a silent person while Gong Xian was already sleeping. It was only Xi Ming, Fu An and Xiong Si who were talking while Sun Yi and the Alliance disciple with them are quietly listening on the side.

"That\'s…" Fu An didn\'t know. He looked at the Alliance\'s disciple.

The Alliance disciple immediately showed them Cheng Sheng\'s location. "He\'s with the Zunjingde Sect!" Xiong Si exclaimed.

"They might have met each other." Xi Ming said. "It seems they\'re in a ravine… that\'s far from where we are." He said.

"No way…" Fu An muttered. He knows his strength. He can\'t go that far.

"Uhm… if I may." Sun Yi spoke. They turned to him. "I have extra magic pills and talismans with me." he said. "And potions, if you want." He added. "I still haven\'t used them." he told them.

Fu An\'s eyes lit up. That\'s right! Sun Yi is strong, so he needs less the magic pills and talismans and potions. "Sun-shixiong…" he called.

Sun Yi smiled. "Of course, these are Cheng-shidi\'s." he said and paused. He bitterly smiled. "I have always taken advantage of him…" he said and sighed.

"Sun-shixiong…" Fu An said before he balled his fists. "I\'m sorry, but I really need them. Can I buy them from you?!" he asked as he clapped his hands to beg. "Please!" he added.

"You…" Sun Yi looked at Fu An in surprise. Then, he gently smiled. "Well, I can pay him back using the money… he likes money, so I guess I can use it to reconcile with him." He explained.

Fu An\'s eyes lit up. "Thank you, Sun-shixiong!" he said as he took out his money purse.

Xiong Si scratched his head. "Well, my magic pills are running out, too, so… do you have more magic pills? I want to buy some, too." He said.

"Xiong Si…" Sun Yi said and chuckled. "Of course. Thank you." He said as he traded a bottle of magic pills with money. "Really, thank you…" he told them.

Xiong Si blushed, feeling shy. He bought magic pills not only he needs them but to also help Sun Yi reconcile with Cheng Sheng. He\'s a nice guy despite his burly appearance.

"Xiong-xiong!" Fu An called and laughed at Xiong Si whose face reddened more.

Xi Ming looked at the three before he looked at Xi Xing and Gong Xian sleeping. I can\'t be careless. I have to give them more protection! He thought and looked at Sun Yi. "Second young master Sun. I hope you can sell some to me, too." He told him.

Sun Yi\'s face lit up. "Sure!" he answered before he secretly grinned.
