BXBX NOVEL Chapter 531 - The Scum Is Useless
Everyone returned for lunch and didn\'t see the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples. Only their elders. The disciples of the other sects immediately felt sour since they guessed that the disciples of both sects are definitely training!
"Uncle." Jing De called as he approached Jing Cheng.
Jing Rui was talking with the other sect leaders. Jing Bai is eating with Zheng Yi who are eating with Zheng Fu Gong, Pai Lie and the other Righteous Alliance elders. Jing Hei is eating with Qian Lin and the rest of the Qian family and Qianxu Sect while Jing Kang is eating with Lei Ling who are eating with the Xinfaxian Sect elders as well as the Youxiwang Sect elders.
Thus, Jing Cheng was eating with them the disciples. "Yes?" he answered.
"Ehem. Uncle, we would like to ask something…" Jing De spoke.
Jing Xu who was following behind him rolled his eyes. What \'us\'? Surely, it was only you! He thought, but didn\'t say anything and just let Jing De continue to speak.
"What is it?" Jing Cheng asked, though he can already guess after seeing Jing De\'s reaction earlier when they arrived at the Yunxiao Inn.
"Uncle, since I and Jing Xu won earlier…" Jing De spoke.
"Don\'t ask for rewards." Jing Cheng cut him off, though he knew that it wasn\'t what Jing De wanted to say.
As expected, Jing De shook his head. "No, no! It\'s not that, uncle!" he waved his hands.
"Then, what is it?" Jing Cheng asked, acting skeptical.
"This, uhm…" Jing De muttered and turned to look at Jing Xu, asking for help.
Jing Xu rolled his eyes for the nth time because of his useless, younger, fraternal twin brother. "First uncle." He respectfully called. "Since Ah De and I have won our match earlier, we would like to ask for a reward." He spoke. "But, not an object. Something practical instead." He explained.
"What is it?" Jiang Cheng asked in a cool voice, still keeping his skeptical expression.
"We want to train." Jing De answered.
Jing Cheng\'s brow raised. "Are you not planning to train even if you have finished your match?" he asked with anger in his voice, though it was fake.
Yet none of these two noticed it was fake.
"We are! But… but we – " Jing De stammered, nervous because Jing Cheng got \'angry\', and also anxious since he can\'t voice out what he wanted to do. He looked at his elder brother for help.
Jing Xu internally cursed for Jing De being useless. "It\'s like this, first uncle." He calmly spoke though he is nervous inside.
Jing Cheng didn\'t speak and looked at him, as if telling him, \'I\'m willing to listen\'.
Jing Xu\'s courage increased and he hastily explained. "Ah De and I are planning to train. But, since we already have learned all the techniques of the sect, we want to learn from the other sects." He said. "If we can learn from them, like what Er Zi did before, we can use this to our advantage in the next stages since we will become more familiarize with their techniques, thus increasing our chances to win. We also can gain more experience with this." He explained. "Also… the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang sect are currently in private training. I think they can add more disciples in their training." He added and coughed before he looked away, hiding his guilty expression.
Jing De secretly gave him a thumb\'s up. Jing Xu kicked Jing De in his mind.
Jing Cheng suppressed his smile after hearing their disciples finally speak their intention. He acted as if he is deeply contemplating. "Indeed, you have a point." He spoke.
Jing De\'s and Jing Xu\'s eyes lit up.
"How about this, I\'ll talk to your fourth uncle for him to talk to your fourth uncle-in-law since Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin are his shixiongs." Jing Cheng told them.
The \'fourth uncle \' he is referring to is Jing Kang and the \'fourth uncle-in-law\' is Lei Ling.
"Hmm… speaking of this, our sect is also in alliance with their sect with marriage (not yet!)." Jing Cheng added.
Jing De and Jing Xu are obviously happy. Thus, they didn\'t see Jing Cheng\'s eyes flashing with a cunning light. You want to train with those two devils? I\'ll grant you two seeking for your deaths. He thought and the corners of his lips pulled up.
He left to go to Jing Kang. Of course, he will tell Jing Kang of his plan.
"Sure." Jing Kang answered without a change in his expression. Then, he told Lei Ling, excluding Jing Cheng\'s evil plan for the Zunjingde Sect disciples.
"Really?! Then, since our sects are also a family now, then you go ahead!" Lei Ling spoke as he took the excited Zunjingde Sect disciples to Bai Tan floating in the garden.
The Huakai Sect, Huli Sect, Nanshu Sect, Qianxu Sect and Shanliangde Sect saw it. The Huakai Sect, Huli Sect, Nanshu Sect immediately made their request for their elders who went to ask Fan Wen and Xie Lan for permission. Thus, the number of disciples Lei Ling sent increased.
The Qianxu Sect and the Shanliangde Sect disciples naturally wanted to go, too, especially that they have matches tomorrow, which is the last day of the double battles of the second stage of the competition. Thus, Qian Tian politely and shyly asked You Rou to bring their disciples, too, to Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin to train them. Sun Yu thickened his skin and asked Sun Rong to ask the Xinfaxian Sect since Sun Rong has a good relationship with them.
Thus, Fei Yin saw a large group of disciples entered Bai Tan\'s space brought by Lei Ling and You Rou. Yet, his expression didn\'t change and welcomed them. He also wanted them to be familiar with him since he will be with Cheng Sheng, whom these disciples obviously idolizes, in the future.
It was the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect disciples instead whose expressions changed, but to mirth and excitement. Finally, there will be new punching bags for Fei Yin that will replace them! They thought as they looked at each other with cunning light flashing in their eyes.
…
When Cheng Sheng returned in the afternoon, he only saw the elders and not the disciples. He didn\'t think much of it, since he thought that the disciples are relaxing in their rooms. Little did he know that they aren\'t relaxed at all! They even can\'t find even just half a second of relaxation in Fei Yin\'s hands!
Anyway, Cheng Sheng only saw one disciple – Ling Yun who, though arrived late, but heard that it was only Fei Yin who\'ll be training them, didn\'t go inside Bai Tan\'s space to train.
"Everyone." Cheng Sheng called their attention. "I have found a breakthrough with these mental and spiritual attacks." He told them.
Everyone instantly shot up from their seats, especially He Run. "Really?!" they exclaimed in both and excitement.
Cheng Sheng nodded as an answer. "But, I have to confirm it with a help." He said and glanced at Ling Yun who straightened up on his seat.
Everyone also looked at Ling Yun, who furiously blushed.
"Cheng Sheng…" Ling Xi called.
"Yesterday\'s training with the disciples made me realize something." Cheng Sheng spoke. "With the recent events, even if not all, I have to at least pass to some people my skills." He said and looked at Ling Yun. "If elder Ling Xi and sect leader Yu are willing to make Ling Yun learn under my tutelage, then I will gladly accept him as my disciple now." He told them.
Ling Xi\'s eyes widened while Yu Wen sighed in relief. "Actually, I have been thinking about this matter, too." He smiled and looked at Ling Xi. "I and Ah Xi are naturally inept in alchemy. If elder Cheng Sheng is willing, then it will be our honor to let Yun-er learn from you." He told him.
Ling Yun felt his head is exploding in shock and joy. I – I\'ll be elder Cheng\'s disciple… he thought as his lips quivered in smiling widely.
"Yun-er… I also want to give Yun-er to you for him to learn from." Ling Xi spoke with a hoarse voice. "Our sect is still young and we don\'t have any mages to teach Yun-er, wasting his skills in alchemy. Thus, I will definitely be assured if he is in your hands." He told Cheng Sheng as he pushed Ling Yun towards Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng nodded with a sigh. "Thank you." He smiled. "I also don\'t want for his gift just turn into a trash." He said, referring to Ling Yun\'s special eyes. "I will accept him as my formal disciple, but, he will still belong to your sect." he told Ling Xi and Yu Wen. Obviously, he doesn\'t intend to steal disciples from other sects.
Not to mention that Ling Yun is Ling Xi\'s nephew.
Yu Wen nodded while Ling Xi\'s eyes turned red. "Thank you.." They told him.
