The Scum Is A ***

Everyone looked at him, stunned. "Yu-ge, you…" Feng Mo muttered as he looked at Yu Sheng in disbelief. 

"You can't?" Yu Sheng asked. He meant if they can't look after Zuo Zhe. 

Li Tian shook his head. "We can." He said. "While we fight against Wu Ran, You-shimei will be left here in the Millennium Ship to make us medicine." He explained. 

You Rou and the others nodded, clearly agreeing with this. 

"Then…" Yu Sheng said. 

"Young master Zuo has always been with you. We're just…" Lei Ling spoke. "Surprised." He said. 

They all nodded. 

Yu Sheng smiled, finally getting what they meant. "It's not that we are inseparable." He said. "It's just, today will be the first time we were both are going to be separated." He explained. "Although it'd just be for a month…" he muttered. 

They all fell silent. Yu Sheng is right. It's just for one month. They reacted as if Yu Sheng and Zuo Zhe are going to be separated forever. They felt ashamed. But, it is understandable since they have already been used to seeing Yu Sheng and Zuo Zhe are always together. It's really surprising to see them separated. 

"We will look after him." Xie Lan spoke. 

Yu Sheng smiled. "Thank you." He told them and slightly bowed. 

"Yu-ge…" Lei Ling, Feng Mo and Li Tian called. 

Yu Sheng turned and saw the concern in their eyes. He can't help but feel warm in his heart. Is this what Cheng Sheng felt? To have friends that cares for you? He thought as he looked at the three, then turned to look at everyone. He froze when he saw them looking at him the same way Lei Lin, Feng Mo and Li Tian are looking at him – concerned. 

He sharply inhaled when he felt his eyes felt hot. He lowered his gaze, avoiding their eyes, then lowered his head to hide his reddened eyes. "I'll be taking my leave. Please, look after Zuo Zhe for me." He said. Suddenly, he glanced at the closed door leading to the cabin. His hand holding the hilt of his sword trembled. 

Taking a deep breath, pulling his sword with both hands, he drew his sword. Then, he decisively boarded his sword and, without looking back, flew away. 

Everyone felt their chest became heavy as they watched Yu Sheng's figure in the sky disappeared. Then, they turned and saw the originally closed door leading to the cabin is open, and the person who is inseparable to Yu Sheng, now left by Yu Sheng, is standing by the doorway. His supposedly closed eyes are open and is looking at the sky, to the direction where Yu Sheng left. 

"Young master Zuo…" they were all shocked to see the supposed to be knocked out for one month Zuo Zhe is actually awake. What's more, Zuo Zhe must have witnessed Yu Sheng's departure. 

From their shocked gazes, and from what he heard of their conversation he eavesdropped on earlier, he could guess what they are thinking. "He can't knock me out." Zuo Zhe spoke. After all, he has the system, and he isn't from this world, so nothing of this world could affect him – even their drugs and magic. 

Even if it is Yu Sheng from another world. The system gave him an indestructible body rivalling that of a protagonist's. Actually, even the protagonist has to suffer. Zuo Zhe doesn't need to suffer. If he would suffer, then it must be his own doing. Just like when he volunteered to seal the Ni Lai Gates and he was so exhausted he nearly fainted after. 

So, when he felt sleepy earlier, he already suspected Yu Sheng. He thought that since Yu Sheng is a rogue, Yu Sheng must have drugged him, making him sleepy, to molest him. But, deep in his heart, he trusts Yu Sheng and knows Yu Sheng wouldn't drug him, much less force him out of his will. So, earlier, he just wonders what could be the reason why Yu Sheng drugged him – which is, actually, is useless since he only felt sleepy for a short while before his body flushed out the drug. 

Thus, after Yu Sheng thought he was asleep and left, he silently followed him. He had the system conceal his presence so he could eavesdrop on their conversation. Thus, when he heard what Yu Sheng said, he was shocked. The original plan is that he and Yu Sheng would go to Heilong Realm. So, how did it become only Yu Sheng? 

He forced himself not to make a sound. But, as he continued to listen, he can't hold back his tears anymore, and so his emotions. Thus, when Yu Sheng is about to leave, he had the system remove his concealment function. He thought, wished, that Yu Sheng would take back his words and take him away after knowing that him drugging him is useless. 

But, Zuo Zhe didn't expect for Yu Sheng to be so heartless. Even if Yu Sheng found out that he was still awake, he still left. Or, could it be, Yu Sheng would know that the drug he used on him is useless? 

"Young master Zuo – " they called when they saw his tears streaming down his face. 

But, Zuo Zhe didn't care. He continued to look at the dark sky. The darkest hour is before the dawn. It is true. Zuo Zhe felt that everything around him is dark. The only light is coming from the night pearls in the Millennium Ship. But, for Zuo Zhe, he felt that the bright night pearls are still dark. 

Oh. Zuo Zhe thought as he felt his head involuntarily drooped after it finally felt tired from looking up at the sky, where the person he wanted to look back to him, return to him, can no longer to be seen. I know. He thought. His knees weakened and he fell on the floor. Before his eyes, he saw his hands raised and covered his eyes, making him completely see the darkness. 

It's not that the surroundings are dark. It was him who lost his light. 

Heilong Realm, Plum Blossom City, Peony Plaza. 

"Oh! Meng Gui's forces are now here!" the Heilong emperor exclaimed when they saw a large group approaching the Peony Plaza that was washed with blood. 

"They are finally coming to the bloodbath." Bai Yun smiled as he snapped his fan open and fanned himself. "But, Shang He and Meng Gui are already here. Yet, Du Xiang herself still hasn't shown herself!" he frowned. 

"Ma Wen hasn't come, either." The Heilong emperor spoke. "As well as his people." He added. He meaningfully smiled. 

Bai Yun saw his smile and his eyes brightened. He immediately understood what the Heilong emperor means. "As expected of an old fox! He is afraid to lose any of his people!" he said. "The older the ginger, the spicier!" he exclaimed. The older, the wiser, it really is. Ma Wen is very treacherous. 

But, neither Bai Yun nor the Heilong emperor, the orchestrators of this bloody event, made a move. They just watched Meng Gui order his people to join the bloodbath. 

"Avenge your brother!" Meng Gui made his battle cry. 

"Avenge our brother!" his people cried and raised their weapons before they ran to the women that intercepted them before they struck them down. 

Demonic cultivators have no tender feelings towards the fairer sex. On the contrary, it was the women who are more heartless than the men. And the Heilong Realm shows this naked truth. 

Some of Meng Gui's people also have gone to the brothels in the Plum Blossom City and have a couple of bedwarmers. But, lovers of yesterday became enemies of today. For some, their brother that died in the hands of the lead of these women mercilessly killed their female opponents. But, there were also some that are more emotional and are torn, so either they were struck down by their opponents, or that their opponents who have feelings towards them, too, killed them and then committed suicide after. 

The Peony Plaza was drenched with blood from countless people, and more blood will be spilled even after the sun rose from the east. This place is filled with hatred and vengeance, but also filled with tragedy for some star-crossed lovers. 

If a bystander would see this, they would say that the leaders should have killed themselves instead of having their people kill the other's people, since it was their own respective leaders that have a beef with each other and not their people. So, why create more deaths, and from the unrelated people? 

The bystander would think that he made a clever point, but, today's bloody event is hiding deeper layers. This isn't just about the dispute between the leaders. This is also about displaying each party's power. If the bystander would know of this, he would spit and say that it is such a foolish reason. Many people died for such a foolish reason! 

But, if everything can be solved by a logical reason, then can they be sure that the blood to be spilled would be no more than today?
