BXBX NOVEL Chapter 282 - The Scum Is Calculative
"Sect leader Xie. We\'re going now." Jing Rui said. He can\'t delay any more in going to Jing Hei who went to South alone to reconcile with Qian Lin.
"Yes. Thank you for all the help." Xie Lan said.
"It should be us thanking you." Jing Rui said before he turned to Jing Cheng, Jing Bai, Jing Kang and Zheng Yi. "Let\'s go." He told them before he walked out first. Jing Bai and Jing Cheng followed behind him.
Jing Kang finally approached Lei Ling, who immediately blushed. "Ling Ling." He called as he held Lei Ling\'s hands. "After all of this, I want to marry you." He said, his voice and face serious as he stared at Lei Ling\'s eyes.
"T-that\'s – " Lei Ling stammered. He felt his face is steaming. Why does your words sound no room for refusal?! He thought, but he didn\'t reject the other. "Mn." He shyly nodded. "Y-you should go now. Your uncle and brothers are waiting." He told him, his eyes are evasive because he felt embarrassed. However, Jing Kang didn\'t move. "Jing Kang – " he turned, only for his lips to be kissed by Jing Kang.
"You should give me a parting kiss, but since after this, there will be no parting kiss anymore, I took the initiative." Jing Kang said and smiled before he kissed Lei Ling again, and then finally left.
"Ah Ling…" Lei Qing called Lei Ling as her eyes narrowed. She didn\'t feel offended that Jing Kang ignored her, since she didn\'t feel ignored. She understands that everyone is busy and have no time for pleasantries. However, that doesn\'t stop her from teasing her younger brother. "You already agreed to marry the other without my permission?" she asked, her tone angry but her lips are smiling.
His sister\'s voice pulled him from his daze after being kissed by Jing Kang. He turned and immediately panicked. "J-jie! QAQ spare me…" he cried after he saw his elder sister was grinning. Meanwhile, You Rou was snickering.
Fan Wen and Xie Lan saw their disciples are smiling and the earlier suffocation they felt alleviated. "What do you think?" Fan Wen silently asked Xie Lan.
"Right now…" Xie Lan said as he closed his eyes. However, he can only see darkness. "I don\'t see anything. But, that feeling earlier… it definitely meant something." He said.
"En." Fan Wen nodded and softly sighed. "Let\'s just hope that everything would be fine." He said, although he knew himself that it would most likely not when they saw the gray clouds in the sky slowly turning dark.
Nanli Town, South.
"Such a pity we didn\'t pass by the Qianxu Sect and the Nanshu Sect, so we don\'t know what happened to Qian Lin and Shu Mu." Cheng Sheng said in a low voice as he pulled on the hood of his robe to hide his face when a group of demonic cultivators passed by.
"The Zunjingde Sect would go check on them because Jing Hei won\'t let Qian Lin be alone." Fei Yin said.
"En." Cheng Sheng nodded as they walked towards an inn and rented two rooms. "Where do you think can we ask about the Wuran?" he asked as they climbed up the stairs.
They entered a room and locked the door. Cheng Sheng set up a Silencing Array before Wu Yuan spoke. "From what I have observed earlier, the situation here is better than the situation in Zhongyang while it was still under Qi Ling\'s hands." He said.
Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin looked at each other. They also noticed it. "Could it be, because they will live here in the future, thus they don\'t act reckless and destroy everything?" Fei Yin guessed.
"It could be." Cheng Sheng said. "Since this will be their home after Ming Ye, no, Wu Ran, conquer the world, they will preserve this place as much as possible." He explained.
Fei Yin and Wu Yuan nodded, indicating they accept the reason. "Wait. I saw from the boundary marker earlier that this town is called \'Nanli Town\'." Fei Yin said. "\'Nanli Town\'… Nanli Sect?" he said and looked at Cheng Sheng and Wu Yuan.
Cheng Sheng and Wu Yuan looked at each other before they looked at Fei Yin. "The Nanli Sect… I remember one of them fought against You-shimei in the second stage of the Intersect Competition." Cheng Sheng said as he looked at Fei Yin. "However, since they lost, they headed back to their sect. do you think…?" his eyes narrowed.
"Maybe they were captured and later enslaved by the demonic cultivators?" Fei Yin said.
"Or they might have escaped and are hiding." Wu Yuan said.
Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin froze before their eyes lit up. "Nan Ping." He said. "That\'s the name of You-shimei\'s opponent. He is also the eldest disciple of their sect. Maybe…" he said as he took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
"Maybe he must know some information." Fei Yin supplied the words of Cheng Sheng\'s sentence.
"What does he look like?" Wu Yuan asked.
"I\'ll draw him!" Cheng Sheng said before he took out a paper, ink and brush.
Then, he began writing on the paper.
Youxiwang Sect, Xiwang, West.
"AAAH! ARGH! ARRRRHHH!!!" Chen Han howled like a wounded beast as he struggled from the demonic cultivators\' grasp after Ming Ye defeated him. His body is filled with injuries and are bleeding, and there were some deep cuts that revealed his bones. However, since he has qi deviated, it\'s as if he is numb to the pain.
However, his fight against Ming Ye is not in vain, as Ming Ye was also wounded. Though, not as serious as Chen Han\'s wounds. "As expected of the disciple I raised." He said as he wiped the blood off of his face. His eyes are cold as he glared at Chen Han.
"AAARRH!!!" Chen Han growled at Ming Ye. Although he lost his sanity because of qi deviation, but he still could tell who his enemy is.
PA! Ming Ye slapped Chen Han and Chen Han\'s face had gone to the side because of the impact. A purple hand print was seen on Chen Han\'s fair cheek. "Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin and Wu Yuan have left." He said. "Your own brother, as well as the one you treat a brother, left you here. They knew you will go into qi deviation after what happened to your family and sect, but they still brought you here and left you to me." He grinned as he pulled Chen Han\'s hair and raised Chen Han\'s face.
Chen Han\'s forehead was hit and had a cut, so it is bleeding right now along with his eyes that Ming Ye hit and had turned blue and green. His nose and the corner of his mouth are also bleeding.
"Cheng Sheng left you as a bait to buy himself time to escape and heroically save your father." Ming Ye said. "He knew you will lose to me, yet he still left you. Or is it, you volunteered yourself?" he asked and laughed. "Do you think I will have sentiments as your shifu? I even killed Luo Shi with my own hands, so why should I let you go?" he asked before he punched Chen Han.
"Kuh!" Chen Han coughed blood as he fell on the ground after the demonic cultivators released him. He didn\'t have time to breathe because Ming Ye kicked him. "Ugh!" he cried when his chin was hit and he fell face first on the ground.
"Chen Han. Do you really think Cheng Sheng as your brother?" Ming Ye asked as he walked towards Chen Han. He squatted beside him and lowered his head to whisper. "Let me tell you something, as a consideration for our former relationship as a disciple and shifu." He chuckled when he saw the confused look on Chen Han. "Cheng Sheng isn\'t your younger brother. He is just a soul that possessed your younger brother, replacing your real younger brother and took over your younger brother\'s body." He told him. "How do I know this? It\'s because of the person who let me be reincarnated, granting me a second life. He is the one who brought Cheng Sheng\'s soul here. Cheng Sheng is not someone of this world. He came from that place where you had the last stage of the Intersect Competition. There, he is a fake prince." He explained and maliciously grinned when he saw the shocked and anguished look on Chen Han\'s face. "Yes. Cheng Sheng knew you aren\'t his brother, so why would he help you? Instead, he left you here to die." He told him. "Cheng Sheng… he is a calculative person."
Xinfaxian Sect, Xinfaxian, East. Midnight.
Li Tian slowly walked towards the array. He wanted to go to the Youxiwang Sect and help Chen Han. Earlier, he woke up from the excruciating pain. He knew it was Chen Han\'s emotions. He could feel Chen Han is in deep pain.
"Did you come here to go after your lover, too?" someone asked.
Li Tian approached the person. It was Sun Yi.
"It\'s no use." Sun Yi said as his tears fell from his eyes that are puffed up from crying for a long time. "This array is sealed. We can\'t go to Youxiwang Sect." he told him.
Li Tian\'s pupils constricted. "You don\'t mean…" he said. The only one that could seal the array is –
"Yes. Cheng-shidi sealed this array the moment they left."
