The Scum Is A ***

Their expressions immediately changed. Although the disciples wanted to speak, but they can't. 

"What do you mean?" Xi Ling asked what the disciples were currently thinking. 

As for what the masters were thinking… they are thinking that something not good is about to happen. Chen Jing and Wu Fan looked at each other and moved. 

Everyone's eyes widened in shock by the sudden change. "NO!" they cried when they saw Chen Jing and Wu Fan were about to launch an attack on Zuo Zhe. 

Xie Lan finally found his voice after he recovered from his shock. "Chen patriarch! Former sect leader Wu! What are you doing?!" he asked and flew after Chen Jing and Wu Fan who leapt to attack Zuo Zhe. 

"LAN!" Fan Wen cried, but was pulled back by Xi Ling and Fei Lin and they covered him when Chen Jing's and Wu Fan's attacks finally hit Zuo Zhe. 

Qian Tian and Jing Rui were too shocked and were late to react. Meanwhile, the disciples almost forgot to breathe. 

BOOOM!!! "AAAAH!" they all screamed when the Millennium Ship violently rocked because of the impact of Chen Jing's and Wu Fan's attacks. 

Xie Lan who was too late to stop the two descended behind them and his expression was ugly. "Are you insane?! Why did you attack him?!" he asked, mad. "Were you possessed?!" he added. 

Although they immediately accepted the two's return, but they still didn't forget that Chen Jing and Wu Fan entered the Heilong Realm. Their expressions immediately changed and their guarded look then turned to Chen Jing and Wu Fan. 

"Bullshit!" Wu Fan cursed as he turned to them. "Have you gone stupid to even misidentify me and Chen Jing?!" he asked Xie Lan. 

"Then why did you attack Zuo Zhe?!" Xie Lan asked. "He's our comrade!" he said. 

"Pei!" Wu Fan spat. "A comrade who wants to incite discord between us?!" he asked. "You should say he's the one who's possessed!" he added. 

They fell silent. They finally realized what's off with Zuo Zhe. 

"Even if he wants to sow discord, but you don't have to hit him!" Xie Lan retorted. 

"STOP!" Chen Jing yelled. "Look! You two are now fighting!" he said and separated the two. 

"Hahahaha." Zuo Zhe laughed. 

They immediately turned, stunned, when they heard his voice. 

Chen Jing's and Wu Fan's eyes widened in disbelief when they saw Zuo Zhe was unharmed. "This can't be… he should've been hit…" they muttered. 

Zuo Zhe ignored them and waved his sleeve, blowing off the smoke around him. "Yes. Even if I want to sow discord, but you shouldn't have hit me? Look. I'm just a weak and helpless person, and only alone against the lot of you." He said. 

Xie Lan looked at Chen Jing and Wu Fan in dissatisfaction. "What are you afraid him off?" he asked them. 

A vein on Wu Fan's forehead throbbed and he glared at Xie Lan. "If looking unharmed after Chen Jing and I attacked him isn't something for us to be afraid of, then you tell me what it is." He told him. 

Xie Lan shut up. He looked at Zuo Zhe who is smiling brightly at them, looking as if he wanted to be beaten. Indeed, now that he thinks about it, Zuo Zhe is really scary. They don't know how he is so powerful despite looking weaker than Lei Ling. 

"Done?" Zuo Zhe said. 

Wu Fan's face turned red in anger. 

"Young master Zuo." Li Tian called as he stepped forward. "Why did you say earlier that Cheng-shidi is heartless… more heartless than…" his voice trailed off and he glanced at Xie Lan and the others. 

"Oh, right. I almost forgot this." Zuo Zhe muttered and hit his head. 

Wu Fan sharply glared at him. "Won't you tell us first how you can look unharmed after Chen Jing and I struck you?" he asked. 

Zuo Zhe turned to him. "No need to try diverting everyone's attention, former sect leader Wu." He told him and slowly sat on the chair that was the only one left unbroken earlier. 

Wu Fan scoffed, unabashed that he was found out. 

"As for why I said Cheng Sheng is heartless earlier…" Zuo Zhe deliberately slowly spoke. 

Everyone immediately raised their guard and the atmosphere returned to being tense. 

"... has something to do with Chen Han." Zuo Zhe said. 

Li Tian sharply inhaled and his eyes reddened because of tears. Did Cheng Sheng really deliberately leave Chen Han to be captured by Wu Ran? He thought. 

"He did." Zuo Zhe spoke, guessing Li Tian's thought. 

Li Tian's eyes widened and his heart ached. But, before he could speak, Zuo Zhe continued. 

"Cheng Sheng left Chen Han for his own plan." Zuo Zhe said. 

"… huh?" they stared at him. 

Zuo Zhe smiled. "Do you all think a scum like Cheng Sheng would obediently follow Fei Huang?" he asked and raised his head to look at their dumbstruck faces. "A scum has his own rules, and also his own way of doing things. Following Fei Huang would make him feel dissatisfied." He explained. 

"So… he made his own plan?" Qian Tian asked. 

Jing Rui's brows knotted. "Weren't his memories also erased by him?" he asked. 

Zuo Zhe turned to him. "Do you think Cheng Sheng wouldn't leave himself a way out because of this?" he grinned. 

Everyone. "…" indeed, this is Cheng Sheng's style… they thought. 

"Then… he really did leave Chen Han to…" Li Tian spoke in a hoarse voice. 

Zuo Zhe turned to him and spoke. "You should have more faith." He looked at him crying. "Not only in Cheng Sheng, but also in Chen Han." He told him. 

"Li-shixiong…" Feng Mo patted Li Tian's back to comfort him. 

"So… what did Cheng Sheng plan?" Wu Fan frowned, then turned to glare at Chen Jing. "How can you not discipline your own child!" he said. 

Chen Jing who was shot while lying down. "…" why was I dragged in this? He internally complained while externally, he forced a smile. 

"Not much." Zuo Zhe spoke, focusing everyone's attention to him again. If he just has a cup of tea in front of him, he would like to pose. Such a pity he forgot to bring one. "Cheng Sheng just tipped Yu Sheng about Fei Huang's plan." He unhurriedly said, his expression looking careless. 

But, his words were like giant waves rolling towards them. THUNK! Wu Fan staggered in shock while Chen Jing forgot to catch him, so Wu Fan fell on the floor of the ship on his butt. 

"WHAT?!" everyone exclaimed in shock. 

Zuo Zhe covered both of his ears. 

"Young master Zuo… you… you're not pulling our legs, are you?" Qian Tian forced a smile, but inside, he's crumbling. 

Zuo Zhe turned to him. "Why should I pull your leg when I have my own?" he asked back. 

Qian Tian. "…" you bloody hell know that's not what I mean… 

"Zuo Zhe." Jing Rui spoke. "Are you trying to dampen our morale?" he asked. 

Everyone looked at him. Jing Rui has always been a no-nonsense person. 

"If I say I am, what would you do?" Zuo Zhe asked back, looking haughty. He's really asking for a beating. But, unfortunately, no one can beat him. 

"You can't, since we've already seen through you." Wu Fan said. 

Zuo Zhe's brows raised. "But, that's not what I am planning?" he asked. 

Everyone. "…" so, you're really planning something! But, you earlier said you aren't! They thought and internally cursed. 

"Or was I?" Zuo Zhe continued. 

Everyone. "…" @#%#%!!! Which is it?! Are you really planning something or not?! 

Zuo Zhe: you want me to plan something, then? 

Everyone: we don't! 

Zuo Zhe chuckled as he played with the tips of his hair. "I already said it before." He spoke. "I'm not planning something. And I am your ally." He said and smiled, but his following words says otherwise. "Which I really regret." He said and rose from his seat, his smile fading and replaced by a frown. All of the characters I made turned out to be bastards! Damn it! He internally cursed as he walked back to the cabin. 

"Zuo Zhe." Xie Lan called. "As for what you said that xiao Sheng tipped Yu Sheng of Fei Huang's plan…" he said. 

Everyone immediately returned to their senses. That's right! if Cheng Sheng told Yu Sheng of Fei Huang's plan, then… Yu Sheng was just playing with them all along?! He's just acting?! They thought. 

Zuo Zhe slowly turned and smiled to them. "What do you think?" he asked them. 

They fell silent. They don't know what to believe anymore. If Zuo Zhe was really trying to confuse them, then he succeeded. 

"You also know about this?" Fan Wen asked. 

The smile on Zuo Zhe's face disappeared. "I don't." he answered. 

That made them confused. "Then… how did you know about this?" they asked. 

"Through our life and death contract." Zuo Zhe answered. Before they could speak, he continued. "We signed a master and servant contract." He added.
