Xinfaxian, Xinfaxian Sect.
"Cheng-shidi!" Li Tian and Feng Mo called after the light in the teleportation array has died down.
"Ah Sheng!" Chen Han called and pulled his younger brother. "How are you?" he asked.
"I'm feeling good." Cheng Sheng smiled.
"Huh?" Lei Ling muttered when he suddenly noticed something. "Cheng-shixiong returned through teleportation array… where is Er Zi?" he asked.
It was then that everybody realized that Fei Yinzi, who can't use the teleportation array, didn't return with Cheng Sheng.
As soon as the name was spoken, they saw Cheng Sheng's face darkened. It was then that they realized that Cheng Sheng would never abandon Fei Yinzi unless Fei Yinzi angered him. So. Much. What did Fei Yinzi do this time to anger Cheng Sheng? He didn't kill him, did he?
But, they don't have the time to care about Fei Yinzi since they have to look after themselves first because Cheng Sheng was angered, and this much. They should constantly remind themselves not to provoke him, and not to mention Fei Yinzi before him.
"Cheng Sheng." It was Jing Kang. "How is my uncle?" he asked.
Only then did they see Cheng Sheng's mood turned better. They secretly sighed in relief. "I returned to make the cure." He answered. "And your uncle must be better because Jing Cheng gave him spiritual energy again." He added.
As expected, Jing Kang frowned because of what Jing Cheng did. But, knowing that Cheng Sheng should have already scolded him for that, his frown disappeared. "Then, that's good. We won't be disturbing you, then?" he said.
Everyone agreed. They know that this cure is very important, and no one should be provoking Cheng Sheng right now. Also, it is imperative that no one should be disturbing Cheng Sheng while Cheng Sheng is in the middle of his work.
"Okay." Cheng Sheng nodded. "How is the Xinfaxian? Was anyone hurt?" he asked.
"No one. Thanks to the information beforehand." Lei Qing answered.
"How about master and founder?" Cheng Sheng asked.
"They are also fine." You Rou answered.
"Cheng-shidi. You should not forget to eat on time, okay?" Feng Mo told him.
"Okay!" Cheng Sheng said before Bai Tan took him away, towards the Jixu Peak.
"Ha." They finally released their breaths.
"Jing Kang!" Lei Ling called. "Go ask Jing Cheng what happened in Zhongyang!" he told him.
"That's right. Although Ah Sheng is excessive on his treatment towards Er Zi, but he is still reasonable." Chen Han said.
"For Er Zi to anger Cheng-shixiong this much…" You Rou looked at them.
"It must be a serious matter?" Lei Qing said.
Silence fell.
"AAAAAH!!!! Jing Kang, hurry! Hurry and ask your cousin!!!" Lei Ling said, panicking, as he pulled Jing Kang's sleeve.
Jing Kang helplessly sighed before he took out a Message Talisman.
"Wait!" Li Tian called.
Everyone stopped.
"How about Chen Han and Jing Kang will go there?" Li Tian asked and looked at the teleportation array. "Jing Kang can also be updated of his uncle's condition." He explained.
"That's right!" Feng Mo agreed.
"That's possible, too." Lei Ling, Lei Qing and You Rou agreed.
Chen Han and Jing Kang. "…" no way. They thought as they looked at their partners, Li Tian and Lei Ling, respectively. You can heartlessly send us away, just for a kid?! They thought and bitterly left. Their hearts are filled with grievance.
A child is more important than a husband. Now, both of them are thankful that their beloveds can't give them a child, or else they have to be jealous of their own children in the future for being more favored of their beloveds than them, their husbands.
Jixu Peak.
Cheng Sheng walked toward his house and opened the door. He was about to call Fei Yinzi when he remembered that he has left the child in the Zhongyang. Remembering the reason why he left him there, his face darkened and he almost crushed the vase on the side. Feeling suffocated by his anger, he went back outside.
"Bai Tan." He called. The Shapeshifting Blanket immediately slipped out of his sleeve and carried him. "Take me to that place." He spoke.
The Shapeshifting Blanket 'nodded'. Then, they went to the back of the mountain and into a crevice.
Hexie Peak.
"Oh. You are all here!" Fan Wen exclaimed when he saw his disciples outside the door. "Huh? Where are xiao Han and xiao Kang?" he asked when he didn't see the two men.
"We sent them to the Zhongyang, shifu." Li Tian answered.
Fan Wen was surprised. "Huh? Why?" he asked.
"Shifu must still hasn't noticed. Cheng-shidi has returned." Lei Qing spoke.
"Ah? Xiao Sheng's back?!" Fan Wen exclaimed.
"But, Cheng-shidi already went to Jixu Peak to refine a potion for sect leader Jing. He is in a hurry." Feng Mo spoke.
"Ah… that's a pity. I want to talk to him." Fan Wen sighed.
Cheng Sheng has been withdrawn in the past years and it became hard for Fan Wen to talk to him.
Li Tian, Feng Mo, Lei Qing, You Rou and Lei Ling looked at each other and sadly smiled. "We will immediately notify shifu if Cheng-shid was done with his task." They assured him.
Fan Wen nodded and sighed in relief. "Thank you. Where is Er Zi?" he asked when he didn't see Fei Yinzi with them.
Hearing his question, all of them immediately fell silent.
"… what's wrong?" Fan Wen asked when he noticed their expressions. "… did xiao Sheng do something to Er Zi, again?" he asked, emphasizing the word 'again'.
They all grimaced. Cheng Sheng is really very harsh towards his disciple that even Fan Wen can't do anything about it. They can only grit their teeth, then say 'again', as they can't count how many times did Cheng Sheng torment his disciple.
"This is connected to Jing Kang and Chen-shixiong going to Zhongyang, shifu." Lei Ling spoke.
Li Tian nodded. "Cheng-shidi left Er Zi in Zhongyang after Er Zi made a mistake which angered him." He said. "But, we don't know the details, so Chen Han and Jing Kang went there to inquire for more details from Sun Rong, Qie shi and Jing Cheng." He explained.
Feng Mo, Lei Qing and You Rou turned to look at Li Tian and Lei Ling. "…" what 'going'? Why are you saying it like it was voluntary for them? They thought. Didn't you two force them to go to Zhongyang? They inwardly grimaced. It is not that they can talk about it, either, as they also agreed with Li Tian and Lei Ling's arrangement.
Fan Wen helplessly sighed after he heard of what happened. "What? What could Er Zi's mistake be this time, for xiao Sheng to leave him behind like an abandoned son?" he heard Xie Lan spoke behind him.
"Founder!" the disciples exclaimed.
Xie Lan smiled. "You should know, too, that although xiao Sheng is harsh towards Er Zi, but he has never left him behind." He spoke.
They all fell silent.
"So, this time… it is definitely Er Zi at fault." Xie Lan grinned.
Everyone. "…" why do you seem like you are enjoying this?! They thought with their faces covered in black lines. But, they can't deny the fact that they are very curious for Fei Yinzi's mistake this time.
What did he do that made Cheng Sheng abandon him in Zhongyang?
Central Region, Zhongyang, Yunxiao Inn.
"Oh. I won the bet, my dear Qie." Sun Rong spoke as he held Qie Shi's hand. "No one can resist the power of gossip!" he said as he pulled Qie Shi into his arms.
Qie Shi blushed and turned to look at the teleportation array that lit up. Suddenly, his eyes brightened when he saw the two people. "I also won the bet!" he said as he pinched Sun Rong's face. "It isn't Li Tian, nor Feng Mo, nor any of the Xinfaxian Sect disciples that arrived!" he told him and pointed at Chen Han and Jing Kang.
"Oh… what a pity." Sun Rong clicked his tongue as he kissed Qie Shi's lips before he turned to face Chen Han and Jing Kang who looked like they have wilted. "Kicked out by your wives?" he asked and grinned.
Chen Han and Jing Kang glared at Sun Rong. They glanced at Qie Shi before they turned back to Sun Rong. "What bet are you two talking about?" they asked him.
"My dear Qie and I made a bet that after Cheng Sheng returned alone to Xinfaxian Sect, Li Tian and the others would come to Zhongyang to ask about what happened between him and his disciple." Sun Rong answered and grinned. "Such a pity that it was you two who came… I was too careless to have forgotten about you two being there." He said and clicked his tongue.
"Serves you right!" Chen Han said. "So, where is Er Zi now?" he asked as he looked around.
"In the Zunjingde Sect, training very hard." Sun Rong answered.
"So, what really happened between Cheng Sheng and Er Zi?" they asked.
