The Scum Is A ***

"I'll go with you." Yu Sheng repeated when he saw their dumbfounded expression.

"… why?" Jing Bai asked. He's as puzzled as the others. Yu Sheng isn't someone from their team, nor he is affiliated with the Zunjingde Sect. He is a member of Cheng Sheng's team, as well as affiliated with Cheng Sheng.

"Yu-ge…?" Feng Mo called.

"I have made a map. However, there's only one since I didn't have time to replicate it earlier." Yu Sheng said.

They immediately understood. With the endless sight of the ruins, they can't tell which direction is north or east. Yu Sheng can't replicate his self-made map, because everyone was busy saving their life. He can't give it to them, either, since he also needs the map.

Even if there is the paper man to locate Jing Hei and Qian Lin, but Jing Kang had used a great amount of spiritual energy to find them. He had to consider the vast area of the ruins, as well as the length of time. The bigger the area, the longer the time the work will take, thus the more spiritual energy will be used. Jing Kang didn't dare to carelessly ask Jing Cheng and Jing Bai for spiritual energy, since they have to conserve their spiritual energy in case a danger arrives.

Thus, they had to take Yu Sheng with them. And taking him is actually more advantageous to them. It's not only the map, but also Yu Sheng has a high fighting ability, making their fighting ability as a rescue team increase. Thus, their survival ability also will increase. They do not need to worry about Cheng Sheng's group because of Yu Sheng's disappearance. Cheng Sheng's group still has Fei Yin, Chen Han, Sun Yi, Feng Mo, as well as Cheng Sheng himself as the attackers. Li Tian as their defense is stable.

They had no reason to refuse Yu Sheng's invitation. Added with Chen Han, Feng Mo and Xi Ming's persuasion, it made it harder for them to refuse.

Thus, Jing Cheng, as the leader, agreed. "Thank you." He told Yu Sheng.

"No problem." Yu Sheng answered and patted the dust off his clothes when he stood. "Where to?" he asked. He is referring to the direction where Jing Hei and Qian Lin are.

"To our northwest." Jing Kang answered. He made their location as the reference point.

Yu Sheng took out his map. It was very detailed, since they can see the trees, the pillars of the ruins, and other things that can be used as landmarks. Taking Yu Sheng go with them is indeed a good choice.

"Let's go." Jing Cheng said as he nodded at Jing Bai and Jing Kang before he turned to Chen Han, Feng Mo and Xi Ming.

"Take care." Xi Ming said.

"Be careful!" Feng Mo told them.

"Be vigilant." Chen Han said.

"Thanks." Jing Bai said before he and Jing Kang leapt through the large rubbles ahead of them. Jing Cheng immediately followed behind them.

Yu Sheng secretly glanced at Cheng Sheng who was peacefully sleeping and snuggling in Fei Yin's embrace before he followed the Zunjingde Sect.

"There they go." Chen Han sighed.

"I hope they'd immediately return." Feng Mo said.

"Yes." Xi Ming nodded as he combed Xi Xing's hair. "We have to hurry to help the residents of the Zhongyang, defend and protect them from the demonic cultivators." he said.

"But, what if the Zunjingde Sect hasn't returned before we left?" Feng Mo asked.

"We're all adults. With the matter of the demonic cultivators pressing in our hands, they would understand us. They won't complain." Chen Han said. "On the contrary, they would also leave as soon as possible in order to help the people." He added as he stoked the fire.

"If that's the case, when will we leave?" Feng Mo asked.

"Let's wait for them until the sunrise." Xi Ming answered.

So fast! Feng Mo thought. However, he also thought that the time is enough, since he believes in the Zunjingde Sect's strength. Added with Yu Sheng, who increased their strength, they wouldn���t take long with their task.

Fortunately, they do not need to leave the camp and enter the underground palace without giving the Zunjingde Sect a notice for their departure. This is an impolite behavior. It is as Feng Mo had thought. The Zunjingde Sect really returned, and it was before the dawn. Everyone was already awake and are preparing for their breakfast.

However, when they saw the small group arrived, they immediately noticed that something is wrong.

Cheng Sheng, who had just woken up, usually would hear the soft sounds Fei Yin made using the cooking utensils during this hour. However, surprisingly, he didn't hear it. He slowly opened his eyes and rubbed them before he saw them all standing, facing each other.

"What's wrong?" he asked, his voice still sleepy, and his eyes are half-opened. He then yawned. "Hm?" he didn't hear them answer, and they just continued to stare at each other. Then, he finally realized something was amiss. There were two more people added, but there was also one less.

The two people that were added are Jing Hei and Qian Lin who were successfully retrieved by Jing Cheng, Jing Bai and Jing Kang. However, that one person less is…

"Where's Yu Sheng?" he asked when he didn't see Yu Sheng's figure among the group.

Everyone flinched, and their already heavy expression became heavier. Jing Hei and Qian Lin's face registered guilt. Jing Kang's face looked pale. Jing Bai was clenching his fists as he suppressed his fluctuating emotions while Jing Cheng's face is as dark as the bottom of the pot.

Yes – it was only the Zunjingde Sect that returned while Yu Sheng didn't. It was because Yu Sheng had gone missing!

Cheng Sheng who is usually calm and composed immediately became angry. Yu Sheng is not only their ally, but he is also his former knight guard. His sleepiness disappeared, and his previously sleepy expression turned cold. "Where is he?" he asked again. His ice-cold voice sent chills down their spine.

Xi Xing, after he heard the earlier ruckus when Zunjingde Sect returned, woke up. Kang Ce also was awoken from his sleep. And Gong Xian who is the beloved child of the god of sleep cannot ignore the tension that arose.

"Do I need to repeat my question?" Cheng Sheng asked when nobody answered him.

Feng Mo, who is second closest to Yu Sheng (since Cheng Sheng is the first), has a good impression of Yu Sheng so he is mad of what happened. He was glaring at the Zunjingde Sect who can't directly look at them in the eye. Even the good-tempered Li Tian can't help but be mad of what happened to Yu Sheng. Chen Han and Sun Yi naturally became friends with Yu Sheng since he is their ally.

The atmosphere became heated as the tension continued to rise. Cheng Sheng's spiritual energy started to overflow as his eyes narrowed. He raised his fingers when no one answered him again.

However, just when he is about to make a move, Fei Yin spoke. "Sheng." He called. He used the name he is calling his lover privately and not 'Cheng-shidi'.

Since he is hostile towards the Zunjingde Sect, naturally, he wouldn't care if Cheng Sheng would fight them. He would even lend him a hand, or if Cheng Sheng wouldn't need his help, he would incite him more.

However, his dearly beloved had just woke up. Even if he doesn't want him to be greeted by a problem after he opened his eyes, he couldn't hide the rising tension. But since it was inevitable, he at least had to avoid making Cheng Sheng feel angry, and…

"Come eat first, or the food will become cold." He told Cheng Sheng as he handed him a bowl of congee and a meat bun.

Yes. He called Cheng Sheng because he wants him to eat his breakfast first. Cheng Sheng's stomach is his main concern; Cheng Sheng's emotion is his second concern. As for the rest, he can't give at least a bit of concern. Are they Cheng Sheng? Even if they would name themselves as 'Cheng Sheng', nor copy Cheng Sheng's face, he would still know who is the real Cheng Sheng.

"Sheng?" he called when he saw Cheng Sheng remained unmoved and was silent.

Cheng Sheng and everyone. "…" Fei Yin, is this the time to eat?

(Fei Yin: for Sheng, yes! He can't skip his meals, or eat them late!)

Cheng Sheng doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. "… thanks." He said and took the bowl of congee and the meat bun. With Fei Yin's action, his anger slightly subsided. He looked at his lover with his eyes filled with gratitude. His heart couldn't help but feel warm, as well as his stomach after he started eating.

The Xinfaxian Sect and the Youxiwang Sect. "…" they don't know where to start criticizing Fei Yin and Cheng Sheng.

The Shanliangde Sect. "…" they don't know how to react from the sudden change of events.

The Zunjingde Sect. "…" our heart is almost at our throat. Why can't you act normally?!

Kang Ce, who feels hungry since yesterday. "…" can I have some food?

Yu Sheng, who's somewhere. "…" my former master His Highness the Prince is a heartless food-grubber…
