Chapter 48: The Scum Is Tragic

When Wu Fan came home after they finished studying in the Shanliangde Sect, his family found out. Then, the Wu patriarch ordered him to marry Wu Miao to straighten his life, and himself. Wu Fan is unwilling, his heart is screaming, but he has to follow his father. And he also remembered the gazes of the people when they saw him kissing Chen Jing. Thus, he decided to marry Wu Miao. Chen Jing, on the other hand, came out to his family. Then, he told them he wanted to marry Wu Fan and to choose an heir on the branch family. He was just preparing to propose to Wu Fan when he heard of Wu Fan's marriage. This is another product of freak combination.

Chen Jing wanted to destroy the whole world. What did he do to suffer like this? The main family of the Chen consoled Chen Jing. They told him they will support whatever decision he will choose. They can also fight against the Wu family just for Chen Jing's love. However, Chen Jing didn't want that. In the end, for the benefit of the family and to not bother Wu Fan, he married Chen Qing. Chen Qing was also aware of Chen Jing's feelings. She only wanted to have a child, thus she agreed on marrying Chen Jing. Wu Miao, her best friend, on the other hand, is disinterested in everything and just went with the flow in marrying the depressed Wu Fan. If this ended here, then this will be a tragic BL story. However, the author's heart is weak. She doesn't like angst and tragedy, thus she continued Chen Jing and Wu Fan's story.

Flashback end

" – and here we are now." Ming Ye finished and smiled.

Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin looked at each other, didn't know what to say. Ming Ye just stood there smiling. Even though Wu Fan and Chen Jing right now are both in comatose state, he is still happy. At the least, when both would wake up, they can continue their love story.

However, his happy state was broken when he heard Cheng Sheng's words. "Elder Ming. I guess founder still hasn't told you." He said. "About the two ways on saving father – " he said and held himself not to bite his tongue after he said the word 'father'. Then, he told Ming Ye what he told Xie Lan earlier. Fei Yin, on the side, is silently listening.

As expected, Ming Ye's kind face became ugly. "What?!" he said, mad. "This – " he pressed his lips into a line. He looked at Chen Jing.

"So this is it." Fei Lin said. He was standing by the doorway, looking at them. He sighed and closed his eyes. "The spirit artifacts… are really unpredictable. And with these unpredictability, life is at stake." He walked towards Chen Jing's bed. "In order to save one's life, you risk your own life." he sighed and looked at Cheng Sheng. "The master of the artifact must also be on guard, not just the other people." He said, his face serious. "Although it recognizes you as its master, but we don't know much of these artifacts." he said, warning in his voice.

Cheng Sheng nodded and bowed. "This disciple heeds elder Fei's warning." He said.

Fei Lin nodded and looked at Chen Jing. "Senior Ming." He called and looked at Ming Ye. "Now that you have found a solution to Chen patriarch's condition, we have one problem left." he said.

Ming Ye's face became serious. "The portal." He said.

"What about the portal?" Cheng Sheng asked.

"We can't use it." Ming Ye answered. "Wu-xiong's appearance, as well as ours, the Shanliangde sect still hasn't noticed aside from elder Fei." He explained. He is referring to Fei Huang, the sect leader of the Shanliangde sect. They remained calling Fei Huang 'elder Fei' since he was their teacher before, and the sect leader of the Shanliangde at that time is Fei Xin – Fei Huang's brother and Fei Lin and Fei Yin's father. Their mother, Fei Ning, is the daughter of their branch family. She is a proud woman. She and Fei Xin has a cold relationship. When Fei Xin died, she didn't even bat an eye and instead looked like she was relieved. Everyone knows that Fei Xin is a poisonous man. They can clearly understand what Fei Ning felt at that time. Now, Fei Ning is living in seclusion – like the life she had before she got married with Fei Xin. When Fei Xin died, she returned cultivating like she didn't have two sons.

The life in Shanliang, is a dog eat dog one. You look after yourself. No one will care if you'd die in a ditch. They all are clearly blood-related yet they are worse than strangers to each other. The Xi family, on the other hand, is the second biggest family and a supporter of the Fei Clan. Even though they were affected by the Fei Clan's attitude towards their family members, but some of the Xi family members remained the same. Just like Xi Ling and Xie Lan's late parents. Unfortunately, they died. Xi Peng is now the head of the Xi Clan. He's Fei Xin's right-hand man. Of course, he is also a poisonous one – just like his master.

"What plot is the Shanliangde Sect brewing now?" Fei Yin asked as he glared at his elder brother.

Fei Lin looked at him. "Do you want to come back to the Fei family?" he calmly asked.

"Never will I go back." Fei Yin answered.

Fei Lin sighed, but in relief. "Good." He said. It's fine. He can deal the Fei family alone. "The acquaintance of our sect is called Mu Jun." he looked at them.

"… uncle Jun?" Fei Yin said.

Fei Lin nodded. "You still remember him." He smiled at Fei Yin. "Only I, you and, of course, uncle knows him." He said.

"Who is he?" Ming Ye asked, curious.

Fei Lin turned to him. "Uncle brought uncle Jun one day. We also don't know where he is from." He answered. "Some sect members may be aware of him, but – " he grinned, breaking his gentle aura. " – only as our uncle's little lover." He said.

Somewhere in Shanliang, Fei Huang sneeze. "Tch – " he clicked his tongue. " – who is talking bad about me?" he asked.

Mu Jun has already learned his lesson last time. This time, he asked. "Maybe you've caught a cold?" he asked. "After all, it's cold up in the mountains." He said, then paused. "I can keep your bed warm. Just tell me – umf!" he groaned when Fei Huang kicked him.

"I am a cultivator. I can regulate the qi in my body so how can I get a cold?! Also - !" Fei Huang said as he murderously glare at Mu Jun. His aura forming a mountain on his back. "What 'warm the bed'?! You saying these words make the people misunderstand!" he roared. Mu Jun, again, fell off the cliff.

Northeast Peak.

Ming Ye froze and his body cracked. He felt as if he heard Fei Huang roared. This is a shock! He screamed in his mind. That strict elder Fei… has a lover?! He thought, stunned. "Oh." Fei Yin just said. He was away from the Shanliang for a long time. He doesn't know of this news. And even if he did, he will, just like now, be indifferent towards it.

Fei Lin chuckled. "Rumors are just rumors… who knows what is the truth?" he asked and smiled, his gentle and kind aura is back.

Cheng Sheng interrupted them. "What's your acquaintance doing in the Dongfang Town?" he asked.

Fei Lin turned to him. "Uncle noticed strange things occurring lately." He said, referring to Fei Huang. "He sent uncle Jun to investigate. Uncle Jun also have gone to the west." He said. "He noticed that strange corpses appeared and that it is the work of the demonic cultivators. Then, when he went to the east, in the Dongfang Town, he found sect leader Wu. That time, we think there's a conspiracy going on. After all – " he looked at them. " – the central hasn't been attacked." He said. "Not yet." He added. Silence fell before them. Fei Lin continued. "Uncle Jun was doubtful of sect leader Wu. But, he saw sect leader Wu was attacked. He immediately took action." He finished.

"You also think there's a conspiracy?" Ming Ye said, his face serious. "The relationship between the four major sects isn't good. Conspiring with the demonic cultivators…" his eyes narrowed. Then, he looked at Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin. He felt something lit up in his brain. "What I don't understand – " he said and turned to Fei Lin. " – is that the Xinfaxian Sect was attacked." He frowned. "Even though the Xinfaxian Sect has alliance with us, the Youxiwang Sect, but the Xinfaxian Sect is a small sect. The Xinfaxian was attacked and almost all were killed had not Xie-shidi foreseen what will happen. Then – " he said, then paused. He looked at Cheng Sheng, then Fei Yin.

"I met a man." Xie Lan said as he entered the room. Xi Ling was left with Wu Fan to watch over him.

"A man?" Fei Lin said.

Xie Lan nodded as he leaned on the wall. "He told me – " he said. " – to leave the Xinfaxian."

Fei Lin's brows knit. "A threat?" he said.

Xie Lan shook his head. "A warning." He said.

"'warning'?" Fei Lin said.

Even Ming Ye was confused. "Xie-shidi. What do you mean?" he asked. "Not a threat, but a warning…" he said. Threat is with killing intent while warning is with good intent. Then, Ming Ye's eyes flashed and he looked at Cheng Sheng.

Xie Lan nodded, knew that Ming Ye understood. He turned to Fei Lin. "That man, he's an ally." He said. "He said he'll be taking my disciple, but in the end he didn't." he paused. "I guess, he knew what is happening and he wanted for me to take the people to safety. And – " he looked at Cheng Sheng. " – taking my disciple… it must be that there's something with Xiao Sheng." He said.

Everyone looked at Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng blinked. "Eh?" he said as he looked at them. … am I found out?
