The Scum Is A ***

"… is it too late to apply for a change of sect…?" Chen Su asked as they all stared at the ceiling with a blank gaze while they lie on the floor of the Yunxiao Inn, unable to move.

The waiters and the other guests of the inn almost mistook them for corpses when they almost tripped on them because they blocked the way. Actually, they didn't want to, but they are very exhausted and ended up there after they crawled out of Bai Tan's space back to the Yunxiao Inn when Cheng Sheng's and Fei Yin's training has, finally, finished.

"You should consider changing your surname first…" Su Yi kindly reminded him.

Chen Wu bitterly smiled. "Thanks for the reminder…" he said as he closed his eyes.

Among them, only Wu Lian is in the 'best' condition. It was due to him being trained under the hands of Wu Yuan who is extremely strict. All the years of hardships paid-off, so he wasn't fazed in the face of Cheng Sheng's and Fei Yin's training.

Fortunately, Cheng Sheng is lenient to the mages so Su Yi, Wen Wen, Cui Xiang and Cui Xiao had a different training, though it also cost him half of their lives since Cheng Sheng is very familiar with the mages since he is one himself, and the best one at that.

The worst one is actually Fei Yinzi, ironically, since he is Cheng Sheng's disciple and Fei Yin's nephew. Fei Yinzi is unconscious when Fei Yin carried him outside the space and back to the Yunxiao Inn. Fei Yin didn't let Cheng Sheng, his lover, feel burdened thus he carried the youth whom he find a burden, but is actually his nephew.

Everyone's lips twitched when they saw their disciples lying on the floor. The guests and workers in the inn were scared and almost reported to the authorities had they not recognized that they are cultivators and that the disciples are still alive… barely.

"Xiao Sheng… xiao Yin…" Fan Wen called, but pursed his lips since he doesn't know where to start. He looked at the disciples lying on the ground. His heart is distressed.

"As expected of Lian-er!" Sun Yi laughed when he saw that Wu Lian, although looked disheveled and tired, still is conscious. "You passed these two's demonic training alive!" he patted his son's head.

Wu Yuan nodded as he looked at their son with a commending gaze. "Good." He spoke.

Wu Lian heaved a sigh of relief. It is easy to please his dad, but not his father.

"Water…" Zhu Xi hoarsely spoke.

Su Yi, Wen Wen, Cui Xiang and Cui Xiao immediately left to fetch the others water and also foods for them to regain their strength.

"Uncle… QAQ" Chen Yu cried as he held Chen Han's ankle.

The elders' lips twitched. They know that these disciples now realized how naïve they have been earlier for feeling overjoyed being trained by Cheng Sheng. Now, you want your masters again? Ha! They thought and rolled their eyes at their disciples.

Wen Yan, Zhu Xi and Su Mi. "…" we were wrong! They thought and lowered their heads, trying to gain pity from their masters. There were easily bought by Cheng Sheng with spiritual tools earlier, and also with an additional training.

Now they truly regret it. We'll never be greedy again!

"This training made me realize something…" Cheng Sheng spoke.

They all looked at him.

"I'll go check on He Shun, Xi Ming and Ho Ting!" Cheng Sheng said and immediately left to go to infirmary.

Everyone was puzzled, but let him leave.

"Go and write a reflection. Give it to Bai Tan later for it to pass it to me." Fei Yin spoke. "Hand it before dinner time." He said.

The disciples lying on the ground froze like statues. They looked at the Shapeshifting Blanket which suddenly turned to a heartless monster in their eyes right now after they heard what Fei Yin said. This Bai Tan will gather their reflection letters later! And before their dinner! They thought, wanting to cry right now.

"No copying others' answer." Fei Yin added before he returned into Bai Tan's space, leaving the disciples almost wanting to grab his ankles and stop him from going back until he rescinds his order.

"Shifu…" they all called their masters.

"That's your Fei-shibo, our da shixiong. If he also wants us to write a reflection, we don't dare to disobey." Feng Mo spoke. "Right, Li-shixiong?" he called.

Li Tian suppressed the smile on his lips. "Yes." he answered. He doesn't pity their disciples at all despite him wearing a kind smile that could soothe one's heart.

Although Chen Han dislikes Fei Yin, he also wants their sect's disciples to be better not just in cultivation and martial arts but also in writing.

"Take this as your penmanship test!" he told his nephews Chen Wu, Chen Su and Chen Yu whose hearts finally collapsed in grievance.

"Do I need to repeat the order?" Wu Yuan asked Wu Lian.

"I'm afraid that I have to trouble father and dad later for ink, brush and paper." Wu Lian answered with a composed expression.

Wu Yuan nodded, feeling pleased with their son while Sun Yi finally can't hold back his laughter.

"Xiao Yin…" Xie Lan muttered. "Never changed." he said.

Fan Wen nodded, doesn't know whether to laugh or cry while Lei Ling and You Rou chuckled. This is how their Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect ought to be.

…

"You also can do it this way?!" Shu Mu exclaimed after he, Xiao Le and Xi Xing heard what Cheng Sheng said while Qi Lan just silently listen to the side.

"Since this parasite mentally, or might be spiritually, attacks others, then I can just separate its consciousness and spirit which is the root of the attacks." Cheng Sheng spoke. "In short, I'll refine its spirit until it can't be able to attack others. Who knows… I can also cure Xi Ming, and Ho Ting, with this." He said.

Shu Mu nodded in understanding while Xiao Le looked at Cheng Sheng in worship. Qi Lan also looks at Cheng Sheng, surprised and with a mix of admiration of his skills. He is really as the rumors said – an ingenious mage. He can also use the enemy's 'weapon' to their advantage.

Only Cheng Sheng can think of this.

"If sect leader He returns, tell him I have found a lead to cure He Shun." Cheng Sheng told them. "Also, tell Qie Shi to send Wu Bai, elder Fei and elder Xi a message not to burn the Devouring Worms this time." He said.

"Why?" they asked.

"I think I'll try turning them to medicines." Cheng Sheng answered. "After all, they contain vitality from their hosts they preyed to, so they must be able to make one's life longer or cure some illnesses. It's time for them to be also preyed to." He explained.

Shu Mu and Xiao Le remembered the Devouring Worms and they shivered in both disgust and fear.

"Cheng Sheng. Thank you." Xi Xing told Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng shook his head. "It is I who owes you both. I should be the one thanking you." He smiled before he finally left to retrieve the parasitic mask he stored somewhere else to refine it.

…

The next day, the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples continued to train but now with Fei Yin. Fei Yinzi, though, is the one suffering the most even under his uncle's ruthless hands! Everyone felt pity towards Fei Yinzi, but they also are afraid to replace him.

The mages Su Yi, Wen Wen, Cui Xiang and Cui Xiao are lucky since Cheng Sheng isn't around today as he was refining something since yesterday. No one has seen his shadow. Fei Yin didn't teach them since he isn't a mage. Thus, he focused on training the sword cultivators Fei Yinzi, Wen Yan, Zhu Xi, Su Mi, Wu Lian, Chen Wu, Chen Su and Chen Yu. He even isn't easy on Su Mi, a girl! But, this is to Su Mi's liking since she, like her master Lei Qing, doesn't like to be treated like a girl since it is a sign of disrespect to them as their fellow sword cultivators.

Thus, seven people can be seen lying on the ground with their face on the ground. Wu Lian, on the other hand, though looked like on his knees but he still insisted on standing upright despite his shaking legs. Fei Yin is fiercer today because Cheng Sheng was here. Yesterday, he is just acting easy towards them because he doesn't want Cheng Sheng to see how strict and hard he is as an instructor.

Thus, they are all really miserable today, more miserable than yesterday. If Fei Yin has a disciple, the most miserable person in the world would be his disciple! But, with how possessive Fei Yin is towards Cheng Sheng, then him having a disciple is unlikely, since his eyes has always been on Cheng Sheng, his lover!
