The Scum Is A ***

"Pft - !" Xie Lan immediately covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing. However, there are tears in his eyes because of his suppressed laughter. "Hahaha... hahaha..." a laughter escaped from his mouth. "AHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he hysterically laughed. "AHAHAHA...! Ugh!" he cried when Fei Huang threw a pebble at him and it squarely landed in the middle of his forehead. His eyes closed as he fell unconscious and his body fell off his chair. 

"..." the sect leaders were speechless as they looked at Xie Lan who fell on the floor face first. His butt was sticking up. Then, they slowly turned to Fei Huang who calmly sipped his tea as if he didn\'t do anything, see anything nor hear anything. 

"The tea is good." Wu Yuan said who\'s acting like Fei Huang. It\'s as if he doesn\'t see Xie Lan on the floor. 

"..." sect leader Wu. Your sect and Xie Lan\'s sect are a family. You\'re abandoning him?! They thought. 

"I recommend to you our sect\'s special tea." Qian Shan told Wu Yuan as he turned and smiled at him. 

"..." sect leader Qian! Aren\'t you buddies with Xie Lan?! Even you abandoned him?! The sect leaders thought. 

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples immediately covered their mouth. Not to laugh but because they almost had drink the Sundry Leaf juice. Not to mention what its taste would be like, but its effect… their face paled and was covered in black lines. Their tongue twitched inside their mouth when they imagined the taste of the Sundry Leaf juice. They could guess their taste buds will die. 

"Ahahahahahaha!" Sun Yi laughed as he held his stomach. "They\'re just…!" he said and looked at the indescribable look on Jing Xian\'s face.

Chen Han looked at Shan Lu with pity. His younger brother really would be naughty whatever, wherever and whenever the situation is.

"..." Jing Cheng and Xi Ming speechlessly looked at Jing Xian, then Cheng Sheng. Xi Ning had a dumb look on her face. Gong Xian and Xi Xing woke up and looked puzzled of what was happening. 

"Hahaha... hahahaha!" Jing Hei laughed as he patted Qian Lin\'s shoulder in laughter. Jing Bai was smiling in amusement while Jing Kang\'s face is blank. However, his eyes are shining in schadenfreude1. 

"Pft – " the audience finally can\'t hold their laughter. The whole venue was filled with laughter. "AHAHAHAHAHA! Potion against potion? More like, poison against poison! Shan Lu really has a bad luck!" they said as they made a bellyful laughter. 

The Huakai Sect doesn\'t have time to be mad. Even if they would so, but their gratitude to Cheng Sheng is bigger. Shan Lu was carried by his fellow disciples to the infirmary with the Alliance\'s disciples leading them. Jing Xian controlled his expression and picked up a nameplate for the eighth match.

"Cheng Sheng is…" Zheng Fu Gong can\'t help but look at Xie Lan who woke up and was having a laughing fit again. 

"He\'s a bookworm." Wu Yuan spoke.

Zheng Fu Gong speechlessly looked at Wu Yuan. The sect leaders looked away. That doesn\'t cover up Cheng Sheng\'s actions just now! They thought. They really thought it was just a rumor about Cheng Sheng\'s nasty attitude. However, witnessing what just happened... Cheng Sheng digging a pit for Jing Xian...

The rumors are really not unfounded. 

Seeing the serious expression on the youngest sect leader\'s face, they didn\'t dare say anything.

"AHAHAHA!" Xie Lan roared in laughter, continuously hitting the armrest of his chair. 

Fei Huang\'s brow twitched. He\'s really annoying! He thought. Jing Rui just kept his poker face while Qian Shan can\'t help but smile.

The Xinfaxian Sect… they\'re really interesting people.

"Eighth match - " Jing Xian spoke, regaining his composure. He\'s still a respectable elder of the Righteous Alliance. However, seeing the green nameplate with a crest of a leaning flower, his face finally cracked. " – ... Xinfaxian Sect - " he said through his gritted teeth.

"AHAHAHAHA! It\'s like fate\'s playing with him!" the audience can\'t help but laugh seeing Jing Xian\'s dark expression upon seeing it was the Xinfaxian Sect he picked.

Earlier, if Xi Ning unintentionally harmed Shan Lu, then he intentionally harmed Shan Lu! In front of everyone\'s eyes, he made Shan Lu drink the juice, and even emptied it. It was like a live murder. Cheng Sheng had dug a pit for him, and he willingly jumped in!

" – You Rou." Jing Xian said as he read the name engraved on the nameplate. 

"Oh! Another female mage!" the audience said when they saw You Rou gracefully went up stage. She\'s not carrying her sword.

"Huh? Doesn\'t her sleeves look longer?" someone said when they noticed You Rou\'s sleeves. 

"I saw her. She\'s a pill refiner!" someone exclaimed. 

"… that doesn\'t explain as to why her sleeves would be longer." his friend said. 

"Ahahaha... I wonder what would he do if it was Cheng Sheng he picked, though?" someone asked as he laughed when he looked at Jing Xian. 

Jing Xian sighed in relief upon seeing it wasn\'t Cheng Sheng\'s name. However, Pai Lie was disappointed.

"Oh! The surprise is here!" Feng Mo exclaimed as he looked at You Rou who has her hair tied up. "Does her hairstyle got something to do with it?" he asked.

"Yes." Cheng Sheng answered as he crossed his arms. "Her hair will just be in the way, interfering with her sleeves when they move earlier." He explained.

"It\'s starting." Fei Yin said.

"A female mage?" You Rou\'s opponent said. "I also heard you\'re a pill refiner. What can you do?" he asked and took out his talismans.

"Ah! She\'s up against a mage!" Chen Han was surprised.

"Talisman… and also a spell caster!" Li Tian exclaimed when he saw a group of words flew towards You Rou.

"Shimei!" Lei Ling called. "Watch out!"

However, You Rou just raised her hands, before she lowered them and her body floated mid-air. She dodged the attack! "Wow…" they muttered as they watched You Rou descended on the ground, her sleeves billowing.

You Rou\'s feet tiptoed, and she made a twirl as she raised her arms. Her long sleeves reached her opponent! "WHA - !" her opponent exclaimed as he took a step back, only to be shocked when You Rou\'s skirt hit him in the face after she raised her leg to kick him. The annoying clothes almost hit him in the eye! "Why, you - !" he glared at her as he threw a talisman on her.

You Rou calmly waved her hand, and the talisman hit her sleeve. Though, only for a moment when they saw the talisman actually slid on her sleeve\'s surface, then its trajectory changed!

Sleeves can be used like this?! They thought in shock. This not ends here! The sleeves of her other hand \'caught\' the talisman, and she turned, only to return the talisman to him!

BANG! You Rou\'s opponent was hit on the chest and he fell on his back! However, the most exciting part is, her eyes are closed!

"Amazing!" Sun Yi was moved.

"This is what Cheng-shidi taught her." Li Tian smiled and looked at Chen Han who was shocked beyond belief as he watched You Rou deflecting her opponent\'s attack with just her sleeves. "Those sleeves…" he muttered, referring to the extended sleeves.

Cheng Sheng smiled. "I had cut some of the Shapeshifting Blanket I bought from the beggar. Who would have thought it can actually grow back?" He said and took out the shapeshifting blanket which looked wrinkled. Is it… crying? It must be! It hid at the deepest of his qiankun pouch.

"The Shapeshifting Blanket…" it\'s as good as a shield. That\'s why You Rou\'s clothes are unblemished.

"AH – " they muttered when something unexpected happened on the stage.

"Oops!" You Rou exclaimed and opened her eyes when she felt she stepped in the air. "Ah – " she said and saw the ground was approaching her face.

No – it\'s her face approaching the ground.

"Watch out!" the audience exclaimed when they saw her fell off the stage.

"Ah – " You Rou muttered when she felt someone caught her. She raised her head, only to see a handsome and well-built man.

"Are you alright?" the man asked as he carefully placed her down.

"Da ge!" Qian Lin exclaimed in surprise when he saw Qian Tian arrived.

Qian Tian turned and saw Qian Lin. "… did you trouble third young master Jing again?" he asked when he saw Jing Hei\'s battered appearance.

"OW!" Qian Lin cried when Qian Tian hit him. I still haven\'t answered yet!

"Shimei!" the Xinfaxian Sect disciples called as they ran to her. "Are you alright?" they asked.

"… sorry." You Rou lowered her head and covered her face. "I wasn\'t careful!" she said, her ears are red in embarrassment.

Remembering how You Rou had accidentally fall off the stage, the Xinfaxian Sect was speechless.

"... I shouldn\'t have let you had your eyes closed." Cheng Sheng scratched his head.

His fellow disciples glared at him when they heard what he said. It\'s actually his fault?! They thought in shock. 

"AHAHAHAHAHA!" Qian Shan laughed as he hit Xie Lan\'s back. "Goodness! Your disciples are all treasures!" he said and hit Xie Lan again.

The other sect leaders looked at Xie Lan in sympathy. They could have won.

Meanwhile, the fellow disciples of You Rou\'s opponent were cheering due to their win by luck. They forgot to take their fellow disciple who was still lying on the stage, unconscious after another talisman of his was deflected to him a moment ago.

Remember. Jing Kang hates the Righteous Alliance because of his father.
