Chapter 595: The Scum Is Trustworthy

The audience became even more confused with Cheng Sheng's answer. They understand the first one, but what does the second one meant? 'buying time after failure'? What is this? They thought, looking bewildered.

But, the elders who have been listening with Cheng Sheng's analysis since earlier understood. Zheng Yi saw his grandfather, Zheng Fu Gong, as well as the sect leaders looking bewildered so he had sent a Righteous Alliance disciple to relay a message for him to them, explaining what the second reason meant.

"They can vote the same person again?!" Jing Hei exclaimed in shock.

"Well, it wasn't stated that you can't vote for the person that has already been voted earlier, either…" Feng Mo muttered as he thought about it.

"This is another loophole in their small game!" Li Tian exclaimed when he realized it.

Everyone finally understood. Chen Wu not appearing to fight against xiao Ling and xiao Bao before was taking advantage of the loophole in the rules of their small game. Even Wu Tie also took advantage of the loophole, which taking advantage of the opportunity of an opponent who is absent. Now, Wu Tie took another advantage again by voting the same person twice. And Chen Wu benefited at this.

Thinking until here, everyone turned to look at Xi Ming while the sect leaders, Zheng Fu Gong and Pai Lie looked at Sun Yu who is now about to explode in anger. Not only was Xi He taken advantage, Fei Luo and Sun Yan were also taken advantage because of the loopholes in this small game! If everyone just not know that the Youxiwang Sect is a trustworthy sect, they would think that Chen Wu and Wu Tie are working together to deceive Fei Luo.

Poor Shanliangde Sect… has their sect affected by the Huakai Sect's bad luck? Thinking this, Tang Zhe patted Xi Ming on the shoulder, expressing his sympathy with him. This made Xi Ming wryly smile, unable to laugh or cry.

"So Wu Tie voted again for the person with neither long nor short stick to oust one of two competitors, since there is only him, who has the longest stick, and the other with the shortest stick left to be voted, and since he has the longest stick, he vote for the same person again." Shu Mu explained.

Everyone nodded in agreement. 

"Huh? There is only Wu Tie and the one who has the shortest stick… why did Wu Tie not vote for himself?" Xi Xing asked.

"Because Wu Tie has already found a clue." Cheng Sheng answered.

Everyone was shocked. "What clue?" they asked.

"I don't know. I am not Wu Tie." Cheng Sheng shrugged.

Everyone. "…" damn you! They inwardly cursed.

"Ehem." Chen Han coughed. "Chen Wu also took advantage of this loophole, huh, to vote for himself?" he said.

"It wasn't him who voted himself." Cheng Sheng said.

"What?!" they exclaimed.

"If he wanted to fight against xiao Ling and xiao Bao, he would have already did so instead of giving up his opportunity." Cheng Sheng spoke.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. "That's right!" they now recall. It was Chen Wu who was first voted, but he didn't go!

"Then, the other vote for the person who has the neither long nor short stick…" they spoke and looked at Fei Luo, then Sun Yan.

"The second reason." Fei Yin reminded them.

Everyone started. That's right! Cheng Sheng said that someone wants to buy time because they failed… "Sun Yan failed to convince Fei Luo?!" they exclaimed.

"Fei Luo really must love his younger brother so much…" Qian Tian said and smiled.

Qian Lin also smiled as he leaned his head on his elder brother's shoulder. Everyone fell silent.

"Then… Chen Wu has to go fight xiao Ling and xiao Bao now?" they asked and looked at Cheng Sheng.

"He won't." Cheng Sheng answered.

Everyone was surprised.

"There are two reasons." Cheng Sheng said.

Everyone. "…" here we go with your 'Two's' again! They thought, but they didn't complain. They can only watch the participants and can't guess their thoughts. Thus, they needed Cheng Sheng to explain it to them the actions of the participants, including the undercurrents.

"One, he has already a plan, as we have confirm after he and Wu Lian didn't appear to fight against xiao Ling and xiao Bao, and Wu Tie appeared instead." Cheng Sheng spoke. "Two, it is not that they are cowards, but they don't want to provoke xiao Ling and xiao Bao." He told them.

"Right… Ling Yun and Er Zi already provoked xiao Ling…" Lei Ling said.

Everyone. "…" they all looked at Cheng Sheng , who just smiled. "…" this is your disciples and sword spirit! Is it right to pit them?! they thought.

"Chen Wu wanted to gain favor from the two sword spirits." Cheng Sheng continued, ignoring their gazes.

"Gain favor?" they asked.

"For two reasons." Cheng Sheng said.

Everyone. "…" why is it two again?! They thought.

"One, to lessen xiao Ling's hostility towards Er Zi and Ling Yun, and show that they are pacifists." Cheng Sheng spoke. "Two, to not waste resources if he and Wu Lian would fight against the two sword spirits." He said.

Everyone fell silent and felt enlightened.

"If Chen Wu and Wu Lian won't fight against the two, xiao Ling can rest and would look at them favorably, as well as xiao Bao since xiao Ling now can rest." Cheng Sheng continued. "Also, they also did this for the remaining competitor. Xiao Ling and xiao Bao would be at their full strength and thus the fight would be fair to both sides." He explained.

"So that's how it is…" they muttered.

"But, they voted for the neither long nor short stick twice… what will happen to the third fight? Aren't they not going to vote again? They don't know who got the longest or shortest stick, so…" You Rou spoke.

Everyone understood. The two voting times of the small game should have determined the sequence of the three pairs' fight against xiao Ling and xiao Bao. But, two times, they voted the same. This will leave the one with the longest stick and the one with the shortest stick be in a dilemma since they have to fight each other again. Meanwhile, the one with the neither long nor short stick got all the benefits.

But, ironically, the one who got the neither long nor short stick actually doesn't need to fight against xiao Ling and xiao Bao at all! This made them all not know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately…

"There won't be a fight between them six." Cheng Sheng spoke. "Wu Tie already got what he wanted. Chen Wu also has no intention to fight. Everything left depends on Fei Luo and Sun Yan." He told them.

They all froze. Yes… Fei Luo and Sun Yan are the ones who gave up the second round of voting.

"They lost the second round. It depends on them if they want to win. If they still want, then they have to fight in this last fight today." Cheng Sheng continued. "Of course, they think that they have to fight with the one who got the longest stick, and then against xiao Ling and xiao Bao after. Thus, they have to prepare more. But, they can also give up and just lose." He shrugged.

They fell silent.

"But, fortunately, heavens are helping them since Wu Tie already got what he wanted, so they won't be fighting with him, too. They only got to fight against xiao Ling and xiao Bao. If they have finally resolved themselves and put more effort, then they will fight against xiao Ling and xiao Bao with double their strength." Cheng Sheng said. Then, he suddenly paused. "This must be Chen Wu's goal." He said.

"Huh?" they stared at him.

"He must have already figured out all of the conditions, and thus wanted to fight fairly against Wu Tie and the Shanliangde Sect. Thus, he proposed this game." Cheng Sheng said. "Wu Tie took his chance, and he also gave the Shanliangde Sect two opportunities, but with only one left remaining to them after they gave away one." He heaved a sigh.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock. Chen Wu… deliberately did all these?! They thought and looked at each other.

"This kid really is very considerate with his peers, and more considerate with his juniors." Cheng Sheng smiled.

Everyone suddenly felt warm in their hearts when they also realized this. Just as they are about to thank Cheng Sheng and Chen Han, feeling touched of their nephew's gesture, they heard Fei Yin chuckled.

"Wasn't this also because Chen Wu is getting rid of them?" Fei Yin asked as he looked at Cheng Sheng with his eyes curved in mirth.

Everyone. "…" what… what is he saying? They thought and suddenly felt nervous. They looked at Fei Yin, then Cheng Sheng. But, Cheng Sheng didn't say anything and, instead, curled his lips.

"Da shixiong ah… are you trying to get me… ah, no… my nephew be killed?" Cheng Sheng asked.

Fei Yin just laughed as a response.

Everyone. "…" HEY! Don't just flirt! Tell us what do you mean!!!!
