The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 654 – The Scum Is Thrifty

Everyone who heard Cheng Sheng's half-hearted evaluation of Fei Yinzi. "…" if you don't want to compliment your disciple, then don't! It just makes us feel pity for your own disciple who doesn't know that his master is being half-hearted in giving him praise! They thought with their faces covered in black lines.

Cheng Sheng's brow twitched in annoyance. "…" is Fei Yinzi their disciple or mine?! He thought, then sighed in defeat.

Fei Yin chuckled behind him. "Er Zi's gotten stronger, right?" he said, helping out his tsundere lover.

"Mn." Cheng Sheng nodded in agreement.

The others sighed in relief. Fei Yinzi is really too pitiful as a disciple since his master isn't even willing to give him a full praise despite him working hard.

"Indeed, Er Zi is improving faster than I expected." Cheng Sheng said as he silently observe Fei Yinzi's agile actions while dodging the demons' attacks alone before counterattacking them after he gathered them all then killing them all in one fell swoop. "He… is thrifty." He added.

Everyone who heard what Cheng Sheng just said. "…" huh? 'thrifty'? Did we hear it right? They thought and looked at each other before they turned to look at Cheng Sheng with a complicated gaze.

Fei Yin almost broke out into a laughter but fortunately, he held it in at the last second. "Mn… indeed, Er Zi is very thrifty when using talismans and magic pills, as well as potions." He said.

Everyone. "…" is there such an operation?! They thought and immediately turned to watch Fei Yinzi who kited the demons again and lured into a trap before he killed them all using just one talisman. "…" well, he is really thrifty in using talismans… they thought, couldn't help but agree with Cheng Sheng. But, does he have to be thrifty in using resources?! Isn't Wen Wen from their sect?! So, why is Fei Yinzi being thrifty when it should be others instead who should be thrifty in using resources since they are buying it from your sect! They inwardly complained.

But, this isn't their problem now and it is the participants'. The use of resources, it depends on the participants' strategy used and also their skills if they have enough skills to cover up their lack of resources so that they would spend less points to buy talismans, magic pills and potions for them to use.

"Tang Li's brain is now becoming better." Tang Teng can't help but say after he saw Tang Li retreated until he lured the two demons in a straight line before he finished them off in one strike!

Tang Zhe's lip twitched after he heard that their own sect leader despised his disciple. He placed a palm on his face because of shame and then sighed.

Li Nanzi laughed. "Li Yan's area perception is getting better, too." He said and looked at Li Yan who lured the demons until the demons felt that they couldn't move.

The demons actually fell into a quagmire! Li Yan used this opportunity to kill them all!

"Ling Yun's skills are getting sharper and faster. He is now able to coordinate his special eyesight with his skills." Cheng Sheng said.

Ling Xi sighed in relief when he heard Cheng Sheng's evaluation of his nephew while Yu Wen proudly smiled. Ling Yun didn't let them, nor Cheng Sheng, down.

"Hey, look!" Xiao Le suddenly exclaimed and pointed.

Everyone turned to look at where he is pointing at, only to be surprised when they saw that Xi Bing and Fei Huo are picking magic herbs.

"What are they doing?" Tang Yun asked in surprise.

"They are probably going to use the magic herbs to barter for magic pills, potions and talismans." Jing Kang explained.

"Clever!" Jing Hei snapped his fingers.

Sun Yu who heard this proudly smirked while Xie Lan's brows just raised. He then looked at Cheng Sheng, who rolled his eyes at him.

"Don't look at me, founder. Bartering is also a choice before, but unfortunately, no one has thought of this method." Cheng Sheng said. "I also just can't let myself tell them about this and let them off for some points to pay to me, right?" he asked in a self-righteous tone.

"That's right!" Xie Lan nodded.

Jing Cheng and the others. "…" what the fck! So we actually could have used bartering before?! They thought and looked at each other with regret in their eyes. They actually could have saved more points before, but then because of a certain black-hearted businessman's greed, they didn't manage to salvage some points.

Sun Yu's brows twitched before he sighed in relief for his disciples being clever since his disciples couldn't be pitted that much by the Xinfaxian Sect's disciples.

"Ehem. Anyway…" Zheng Fu Gong cleared his throat as he forced back everyone's attention to the competition. "The other participants' scores are nearing to tie in the leaderboard." He told them.

As expected, everyone immediately turned back to look at the leaderboard and check the current ranking. Wu Lian is still in the first place. Chen Wu is in the second place and Sun Yan is in the third place with his points nearing Chen Wu's points. Wen Yan is in the fourth place and his points are also close to Wen Yan's. Fei Yinzi's in the fifth rank and is closely followed by Jing Xu, Jing De, Tang Li and Li Yan, with Fei Luo, Su Mi, Zhu Xi and Wu Tie on their tails.

"This is such a close fight!" Jing Hei exclaimed.

The others nodded in agreement. With all the participants going all-out, this will be a tough battle for them all! Not only due to the rankings in the leaderboard, but also because of the number of demons decreasing with them all successively killing the demons.

Now that the number of the demons are getting lesser, then, later, it will be inevitable for them to fight each other over a demon or demons, just like what almost happened to Tang Li and Li Yan. But, because the decrease of the number of the demons isn't that obvious yet, Tang Li and Li Yan didn't realize it yet, so everything is still peaceful on the surface.

"Hm? What are xiao Bao and xiao Ling doing? They wouldn't distract the participants?" Lei Ling asked when they saw xiao Bao and xiao Ling are just watching the liveliness of the participants while they sat on top of the tree with condescending gazes like gods watching a group of mortals in their farce.

Everyone grimaced at the description that came up in their minds.

"Since this is the elimination period, xiao Bao and xiao Ling should continue to distract the participants while thinking of ways to decrease their points." Xi Ming said.

"Yet, they didn't do anything this time." Jing Hei said.

"When they should have, since they are letting the participants farm for many points." Qian Lin said, feeling puzzled of xiao Bao's and xiao Ling's behaviors.

The others are naturally similarly puzzled. Then, everyone's gazes fell on Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin who are the masters of the two sword spirits who are behaving strangely. Cheng Sheng's brow twitched and he declined to answer this time.

Fei Yin smiled as he patted Cheng Sheng's back. Then, he faced the others. "Xiao Bao and xiao Ling will naturally be resuming in doing their duty to keep the liveliness of the competition." He said.

Everyone sighed in relief, only to feel their breaths suddenly got stuck on their throats when they heard Fei Yin continuation.

"Since xiao Bao and xiao Ling aren't acting right now, then, they must have come up of a new idea." Fei Yin told them.

Everyone's eyebrows twitched. "…" why do we have a bad feeling about this? They thought as they suspiciously looked at Cheng Sheng, who is just silently watching the competition, and Fei Yin who has a small smile on his lips. Instead of feeling relieved, why do we suddenly feel alarmed instead?! We should have known… we shouldn't have provoked these two on asking them about xiao Bao's and xiao Ling's plans! They thought as they inwardly panicking but they didn't show it on their faces. Now, instead of feeling reassured for our disciples, we now feel worried again! They thought and helplessly sighed, uttering a silent apology in their hearts towards their disciples since xiao Bao and xiao Ling must have thought of a new perverted way of annoying the participants!

Meanwhile, Cheng Sheng side-eyed the sect leader and elders who have now become silent while they inwardly panicking. "… is it really okay to tell them this?" he asked Fei Yin.

"Of course." Fei Yin answered. "I am just telling the truth." He said.

Cheng Sheng's lip twitched.. "…" so it is actually true that xiao Bao and xiao Ling are cooking up a new scheme to toy… ehem, to 'play' with the participants?! he thought, then silently sighed. Anyway, this isn't his problem, so don't blame him, okay?
