The Scum Is A ***

"YOUNG MASTER ZUO!!!" they all cried when they saw Zuo Zhe collapsed and loudly cried. 

Xie Lan felt his head ached while Fan Wen, together with the Xinfaxian Sect disciples, comforted Zuo Zhe. He turned to Qian Tian, Jing Rui, Fei Lin and Xi Ling and gestured for them that they should all go to find someplace to talk. Then, he went back to Fan Wen and his disciples who are still comforting Zuo Zhe. 

Fei Lin saw Xi Ling was looking at the Xinfaxian Sect. He was about to speak when he heard Xi Ling spoke. 

"If I were in his shoes…" Xi Ling said. "I might rather kill myself than wait without knowing if you would ever come back." He said. 

Fei Lin's eyes widened and he looked at Xi Ling in shock. 

"So – " Xi Ling spoke and turned to meet his gaze. " – you should never leave me. And, if you would really leave, then, you should just rather kill me yourself." He told him before he flew away. 

Fei Lin gaped and was unable to react for a few seconds before he finally found his voice. "LING!" he called before flew after Xi Ling. 

Qian Tian saw Fei Lin and Xi Ling left and he turned to his younger brother Qian Tian. "Do you want to comfort him, too?" he asked when he saw the sympathy in Qian Lin's gaze. "Go." He told Qian Lin when he saw him hesitating. "Isn't he your friend, too?" he asked. 

Qian Lin's eyes widened and he looked at his elder brother. Qian Tian smiled at him and patted his head before he flew after Fei Lin and Xi Ling to pull them back before they could go to date. 

"Go speak some words to Zuo Zhe." Jing Rui coldly spoke to his nephews, but his words have a very warm meaning. 

"Uncle…!" Jing Cheng, Jing Bai and Jing Hei exclaimed. 

Jing Kang who was looking at Lei Ling whose eyes are red because he bawled with Zuo Zhe nodded at Jing Rui and wordlessly walked towards Lei Ling. 

Jing Rui, Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Zheng Yi, who was silently watching on the side. "…" it's Zuo Zhe who needs comfort and not Lei Ling! The victim's name was clearly spoken, but why are you still walking towards Lei Ling?! They all can't help but chastise Jing Kang in their mind. 

Jing Rui rubbed his head and immediately flew after Qian Tian, leaving Jing Kang for Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Zheng Yi to sort out. 

Xie Lan who, after whispering to Fan Wen about the meeting, turned to leave saw the disciples from the other sects. He was surprised at first before he smiled at them, clearly understood their intention to comfort Zuo Zhe. Then, he flew away to follow Jing Rui who just left. 

"You all…" Fan Wen muttered when he saw that the disciples of the other sects also came. He smiled, then he looked at Zuo Zhe. He patted Zuo Zhe's head. 

"Shifu…" Lei Qing called. "You can go after founder, sect leader Jing, sect leader Qian, elder Fei and elder Xi. We'll help young master Zuo here." She told him. 

Fan Wen nodded and, after saying some words of comfort to Zuo Zhe who is still crying, left. 

"Young master Zuo…" the disciples of the other sects called, then grimaced, feeling awkward. They looked at the Xinfaxian Sect disciples. It was the Xinfaxian Sect disciples who are clearly closer to Zuo Zhe than them. 

How can the Xinfaxian Sect disciples not know their good intention? Li Tian smiled at them. "Thank you." He mouthed at them before he gently patted Zuo Zhe's back. 

"Just sit there and stay. That's enough." Feng Mo told the other disciples. After all, what Zuo Zhe, who was left by Yu Sheng, needed the most right now is company. 

Lei Qing nodded at others and sat behind Zuo Zhe, setting an example for the other disciples. 

Jing Cheng, Jing Hei, Qian Lin, Jing Bai and Zheng Yi. "…" we know how to sit and remain sitting, but still, thanks. They thought and obediently seated on the side. 

They all are surrounding Zuo Zhe… except Jing Kang who is silently sitting behind Lei Ling, rubbing Lei Ling's back to comfort him. 

Jing Cheng, Jing Bai and Jing Hei. "…" we don't know this person! We don't know this person! We really don't know who is this person! Important things must be said thrice! 

Zheng Yi who was trying to reduce his presence, along with Qian Lin who lowered his gaze. Both of them are in the same stance with the Jing trio. They don't know this person who is comforting the person who is crying alongside the victim, rather than the victim. 

Fortunately, the Xinfaxian Sect disciples' whole attention is on Zuo Zhe. Li Tian is gently comforting Zuo Zhe with his words while Feng Mo is patting Zuo Zhe's back to try appease the grievance he feels. Lei Qing is showing her support by silently showing her presence. Meanwhile, You Rou is giving Zuo Zhe calming tea. 

Zuo Zhe whose tears are uncontrollable. "…" damn it! When will my tears stop?! If they won't stop, I would just not have a hoarse voice and swollen red eyes. I'll drink myself to death because You Rou keep me drinking tea! The next tears I'll shed is because of this tea! 

…

"Yu Sheng has gone ahead of us. Should we speed up?" Qian Tian asked. The plan is for them to hold Wu Ran while Yu Sheng would sneak into the Heilong Realm. 

"I don't think it would be a problem for him." Jing Rui spoke. "Although we don't know the level of Wu Ran's strength, but coupled with Yu Sheng's cultivation, Yu Sheng is very intelligent. He could definitely pull this off." He said. 

They all nodded in agreement. It's not that they are overconfident with Yu Sheng. It's because that they have seen Yu Sheng's strength. 

"Then, we'll proceed as is?" Xie Lan asked. 

Fei Lin nodded. "I agree." He said. 

"I also agree." Xi Ling spoke. 

"Agree." Jing Rui said. 

"Same here. I agree." Qian Tian said. 

"Then, let's discuss what should we do with our disciples." Xie Lan spoke when he saw Fan Wen arrived. 

"You Rou has to stay on the ship." Fan Wen spoke. "Since young master Zuo is now awake, she can completely focus on making medicines." He said. 

"I originally have xiao Ling to guard her and young master Zuo. Now, I think we should also send xiao Ling to the battle – " Xie Lan said. 

"No." Jing Rui spoke. 

They all looked at him. 

"My nephews, as well as Zheng Yi, will all join the battle." Jing Rui said. 

"Same with Qian Lin." Qian Tian said. 

Jing Rui looked at Xie Lan and Fan Wen. "Everyone will be focused on the battle. Let your mage disciple be the courier for the medicines." He told them. 

Xie Lan and Fan Wen obviously felt relieved. Although Lei Ling have progressed in his cultivation, but he is definitely the defensive type. So, being a courier is definitely a better task for him rather than him joining the battle where he will definitely be bullied. 

Xie Lan and Fan Wen were about to thank Jing Rui for his suggestion when Jing Rui, who is usually taciturn, spoke. 

"Furthermore – " he said. " – Jing Kang would throw your disciple personally back to the ship even if we'd decide to have your mage disciple join the battle." He told them. 

Everyone. "…" seeing Jing Kang go to Lei Ling earlier rather than Zuo Zhe, and comfort Lei Ling earlier rather than Zuo Zhe… they could really imagine what Jing Rui said happening. 

Fei Lin coughed and forced a smile. "There are already lots of us joining the battle. It's better to have one less person in the battle in exchange for a medicine courier, right?" he asked. 

"Yes, yes…" they nodded. 

After finishing their plans, they all went back to the Millennium Ship together. When the dawn breaks, they will be reaching the Stop By Town. Then, beyond that is the Shashan Pass, leading to the Twin Sand Mounds and the Sand Sea Mountain. 

Heilong Realm, Drunken Moon City. 

"I heard them say that Meng Gui have reached the Plum Blossom City." Wu Yuan said when he returned. He was spying on Meng Gui's people who were left. "The location of public execution is the Peony Plaza." He added. 

Fei Yin nodded. "Even though we know, but we still can't go." He said. He knows what Wu Yuan meant. 

Wu Yuan still wanted to try to steal the antidote form Meng Gui in the Peony Plaza. But, Fei Yin doesn't want it. He can't let Wu Yuan take the risk. A plan is just a plan. It is an option, and an option is just one of the choices. 

"Wait for Meng Gui to return."
