The Scum Is A ***

"'master and servant'…" their expressions turned complicated and they looked at Zuo Zhe, their gazes strange. 

"You don't need to know why, and how did it happen." Zuo Zhe said and waved his hand dismissively. He was about to turn to go back to the cabin when they called him again. 

"Wait." It was Fei Lin. He finally spoke when earlier he was silently listening. "Young master Zuo." He called. 

"What?" Zuo Zhe turned to him. 

"I…" Fei Lin's expression is the most complicated of all. 

After all, his uncle planned something but, in the end, Cheng Sheng overturned it. It's just natural for him to have mixed feelings after hearing all these, that's why he's been so silent earlier. 

"If Cheng Sheng tipped Yu Sheng of my uncle's plan… what is Yu Sheng planning to do?" Fei Lin asked. 

Silence. That's right. Fei Huang has played them all, and Cheng Sheng and Yu Sheng, not to mention Chen Han, has been made the fools the most. If Zuo Zhe would answer that Yu Sheng will kill Fei Huang… but, they hope he won't. 

Zuo Zhe looked at Fei Lin for a long time before he finally spoke. "If Yu Sheng wants to kill Fei Huang, what will you do?" he asked. 

Fei Lin's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to speak. But, before he could speak, Zuo Zhe continued. 

"Of course, it'd be too late for you then and Fei Huang must have already died." Zuo Zhe said and looked at Fei Lin's face that reddened because of anger. "Yes. You will kill Yu Sheng, too, since Fei Huang is your uncle and you want to avenge him. But, since Yu Sheng can kill Fei Huang, you definitely can't since you're weaker than Fei Huang." He said. 

The color on Fei Lin's face turned from red to white, then black. 

"You'll bide your time until you can kill Yu Sheng. But, what if someone killed him first before you did?" Zuo Zhe asked. "You'll develop a heart demon until you…" he didn't continue since he saw Xi Ling's eyes reddened and his face paled in alarm. He pursed his lips and bit his tongue. "How can Cheng Sheng, and Yu Sheng, not know this?" he asked in a low voice. 

They all turned to him. Zuo Zhe pressed his lips into a line and he glared at them. They were shocked to see deep resentment in his eyes. 

"Young master Zuo…?" Feng Mo called, aghast. 

Zuo Zhe balled his fists. "I really blame myself…" he spoke. "Why did I write them both to be Gary Stus?!" he muttered to himself and gnashed his teeth in anger. He took a deep breath to clam himself. "As I've told Li Tian earlier, you should have more faith in Cheng Sheng." He said as he calmly looked at them. 

"You… what do you mean?" Jing Rui asked. 

"Don't you already know his character?" Zuo Zhe gritted his teeth. "That although he's a scum, but he's innately kind! Deep in his heart, he bores no ill-intent!" he told them. 

Their eyes widened, stunned. 

"So, you shouldn't doubt him!" Zuo Zhe added. 

Silence. 

Everyone. "…" [email protected]^%$%! wasn't it because you spoke in a mysterious and suspenseful tone earlier that we became suspicious?! 

Zuo Zhe saw their expressions turned green and he raised his brow at them. 

"… we don't. We didn't doubt Cheng Sheng." They said. Seeing Zuo Zhe is still eyeing them, they internally cursed. "As well as Yu Sheng." They added. 

A smile finally broke in Zuo Zhe's face. "Good. So, how did I perform earlier? Was it stimulating?" he asked. 

Everyone. "…" %&$^$#@#! It was intentional!!! 

Zuo Zhe laughed and lowered his gaze, hiding his pupils that are darkening because of his suppressed anger. Damn it! He thought as he clenched his fists. If Yu Sheng didn't tell me to protect them, I would've long harmed them myself! He thought as he closed his eyes before he opened them, regaining his calm. "So?" he asked as he flashed them a smile. 

"…" your sister!!! They internally cursed. "… it was brilliant." They answered. 

Heilong Realm, Yao City.

"So, you told Yu Sheng everything before you erased your memories of Fei Huang's plan." Fei Yin spoke as they walked down the streets. "Then, how did Yu Sheng react? What do you think he was thinking?" he asked. 

"Killing Fei Huang and Mu Jun." Cheng Sheng answered. 

Fei Yin's lip twitched. As expected of Yu Sheng. He's really arrogant. He thought. Even though he might be able to kill Fei Huang, but Mu Jun wouldn't just lie down and watch him kill Fei Huang. Not to mention that Mu Jun is also a god, and might be stronger than him. He forced a smile. "So… right now, he must be…" he said. 

"In Heilong Realm." Cheng Sheng said. 

"… he's very patient to hold back the urge to kill those two all this time?" Fei Yin asked. 

"Every hunter must be patient with their prey." Cheng Sheng said. 

"… true." Fei Yin nodded. 

"This is strange." Meng Gui spoke. "I don't see any of Ma Wen's people." He said as he looked around. 

"Could it be that they disguised themselves again?" Shang He asked. 

Meng Gui shook his head. "Ma Wen won't use the same trick twice." He said. 

"Then… they must be hiding deeply." Shang He said. 

"… do you remember why Ma Wen dared to charge in the Yao City?" Meng Gui asked Shang He. 

Shang He recalled. "Because he hired an expert?" he asked. 

Meng Gui nodded. "And he must be very confident with that expert enough to charge in the Yao City to kill the Heilong emperor and replace him in the throne." He said. 

"Then, could it be that they are now in the Yingyi Palace and are fighting?" Shang He asked and looked to the distance. 

"This isn't possible. Uncle would notify me if someone broke into the palace." Meng Gui frowned. 

"Then, they're biding their time?" Shang He asked. "They must have encountered a problem that made them temporarily stop?" he guessed. 

"Or… they have lost." Cheng Sheng spoke. 

"Huh?" Meng Gui and Shang He turned to him. "What do you mean?" they asked. 

"I mean, I might have a guess who could be this expert." Cheng Sheng spoke. 

Their eyes widened. "What?!" they exclaimed. 

Seeing their guarded expressions, Cheng Sheng laughed. "If I am planning to kill all of you, I would've already done so and didn't even help you." He said. 

Meng Gui's and Shang He's expressions eased. That's true. "Then, by what you mean that Ma Wen lost and you know this expert…?" Meng Gui spoke. 

"Ma Wen lost, because this expert screwed them." Cheng Sheng answered. 

Fei Yin who was silently listening to the side finally realized it and he laughed. Meng Gui and Shang He looked at him. "Well…" he said and looked at Cheng Sheng. 

Meng Gui and Shang He turned back to him. "What… why did he screw them?" Shang He asked. 

"It's not what you think that we are colluding with him that's why he screwed Ma Wen. He didn't do that for you guys." Cheng Sheng clarified. 

Meng Gui's brows raised. "Then?" he asked. 

"I had a headache yesterday and remembered many things. He's one of them." Cheng Sheng said. "If I can guess what he's thinking, then, right now, he must be…" his voice trailed off. 

Meng Gui and Shang He were puzzled to what Cheng Sheng is saying and were about to ask him when they suddenly felt the ground shaking. The next second, they heard a loud explosion in the distance. 

BANG! BOOOM!!! Their eyes widened in shock. "That's… that's the direction of the Yingyi Palace!" they heard one of the demonic cultivators around them exclaimed in shock. 

"What… what's going on?!" Meng Gui asked, panicking. The turned to Cheng Sheng, seeking for an explanation. 

"That expert is indeed my friend, but I only remembered everything yesterday when I had a headache." Cheng Sheng said. "And, I realized what he is planning only now." He added and looked at the people running in all directions. 

Meng Gui frowned, still not clear of what Cheng Sheng meant. He was about to run towards the Yingyi Palace when Cheng Sheng stopped him. 

"I won't go there if I were you. I don't want to die yet." Cheng Sheng said. 

"Cheng Sheng!" Meng Gui's voice rose. 

"If you're worried about your uncle, then you can rest your worry. Yu Sheng won't drag the unrelated people." Cheng Sheng said. 

"'Yu Sheng'?" they asked. 

"En. I guessed he would go to the Heilong Realm to kill Mu Jun and Fei Huang. But, since the Heilong Realm is too vast, he tried to find some ways to get to Mu Jun." Cheng Sheng said. "I guessed he found Ma Wen and used Ma Wen to go to Mu Jun." he grinned. "Yes. He used them, who also want to kill Mu Jun." he said.
