The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 102 - The Scum Is Greedy



"Second match – " Qi Ling said as he picked a nameplate from the box. The nameplate is gray, indicating it was a rogue cultivator. He then read the name before he picked another one and it was a sect disciple.

Seeing the gray nameplate, the audience could still remember Wu Xi - a rogue cultivator. But, it was the fear that was instilled in them and not his strength after Wu Xi cut off Pei An\'s tongue as well as plucked Pei An\'s eyes. It was too gruesome and they had nightmares because of it. 

"I remember, there really is a monetary prize for the sect and the disciples who won." Sun Yi said as he tried to recall the Intersect Competition\'s rules as well as hidden rules. 

Cheng Sheng stared at Sun Yi. He\'s wants to see if he\'s lying or not. "… you\'re not just pulling my leg, right?" he said. They knew he\'s greedy, yet they haven\'t mentioned about the monetary prize to him. … or was it, because he\'s greedy, they really didn\'t mention it? He thought and frowned. 

The second match for today has begun. They looked at the rogue cultivator and the disciple. Unlike Wu Xi yesterday, the rogue cultivator is weaker than the disciple. Thus, the disciple won, regaining the momentum they lost because of Wu Xi yesterday. The disciple\'s friends cheered when the emcee announced the winner.

The third match then followed. It is between the disciples of the two sects. Surprisingly, the weaker one won. He learned from yesterday to use a talisman against his opponent. The losing disciple\'s fellow disciple glared at them. Their eyes are filled with hostility.

"Things are getting heated!" Cheng Sheng exclaimed as he felt the tension in the air. Fei Yin, who\'s standing beside Cheng Sheng, nodded in agreement as the fourth match began. It is a match between two rogue cultivators.

"Huh?" Feng Mo exclaimed when they looked at the contestants. "Yu-ge?!" he was shocked when he recognized one of them.

Cheng Sheng and the others finally turned and saw a handsome man dressed in black robes. His long and untied hair was fluttering even though there was no air around him. "Ah." Cheng Sheng heard somebody muttered beside him.

"Young master Zuo!" they exclaimed when they turned and saw Zuo Zhe standing near their group.

Zuo Zhe\'s face immediately turned red. "I\'m not – " he bit his tongue to prevent himself from talking. More talk, more mistakes. He thought. 

"What are you not?" Feng Mo asked, his brows knit because he didn\'t understand what Zuo Zhe said.

Zuo Zhe pressed his lips thin. He didn\'t answer.

"What test did Yu-ge take?" Lei Ling stepped forward and asked. He still remembered Zuo Zhe and Yu Sheng helped them find an inn before. 

"Martial arts test." Zuo Zhe answered.

Fei Yin, Cheng Sheng, Feng Mo and Lei Qing looked at each other. They didn\'t notice Yu Sheng. He must have concealed his presence. They also hadn\'t notice his name was called before as one of those who passed the preliminary stage. They were overjoyed at that time that their fellow disciples have also passed the test. Furthermore, they had really somewhat forgot Zuo Zhe and Yu Sheng because of their busy schedule and the competition. 

"This is…?" Chen Han said as he and Sun Yi looked at Zuo Zhe.

"He\'s young master Zuo – Zuo Zhe." Li Tian answered. "We met him before. He and Yu-ge helped us book an inn." He explained. "Yu-ge is one of the contestants." he said and pointed Yu Sheng up the stage. 

"Is this Yu-ge strong?" Chen Han asked as he observed Yu Sheng. Everyone turned to Zuo Zhe, waiting for his answer.

They didn\'t need for him to answer, since they immediately turned when they heard an explosion in the stage. "WHA – " they heard the audience exclaimed in shock as the smoke dispersed and they saw a pit on the stage.

They stared at Yu Sheng in surprise. "He is." Zuo Zhe answered, his face blank as he looked at Yu Sheng who turned to him and grinned.

"Another monster!" the audience said, referring to Yu Sheng\'s monstrous strength. The other cultivator was strong, but Yu Sheng is far stronger than him to defeat him in just one strike. And to create a pit on a fortified stage… he\'s stronger than Fei Yin, Jing Cheng, Xi Ming and Chen Han.

"Where did they come from?" Sun Yi asked Li Tian in a low voice.

"Fei-shixiong said they\'re from the north." Li Tian whispered. He noticed Sun Yi wanted to keep his inquiry a secret.

Sun Yi could guess. Zuo Zhe and Yu Sheng didn\'t disclose their origin. It was Fei Yin who found them out. "I wonder where exactly they came from…" Sun Yi muttered, then threw a gaze at Wu Yuan who was currently looking at him. Their eyes met and they talked through their gaze.

"He\'s not a demonic cultivator." Cheng Sheng spoke. Everyone turned to look at him when they heard what he said. 

Zuo Zhe heard it. Or it\'s right to say, Cheng Sheng let him hear him. "Of course he isn\'t!" he reacted. Yu Sheng is really strong, and he just liked to dress up in black clothes since it\'s convenient when it\'s dark. 

The others finally eased their worry. Yu Sheng\'s win was announced, and he jumped off the stage. "Master – " Yu Sheng called Zuo Zhe as he landed beside him. His voice, though, is teasing.

As expected, Zuo Zhe blushed. "I told you to drop it!" he told Yu Sheng and hit him. Though it\'s just a tickle to Yu Sheng. Zuo Zhe\'s strength is less than a woman\'s. "I\'m not your master!" he added. He finally shed off all the pretense.

"Haha. If you\'re not, then what\'s my relationship with you?" Yu Sheng asked Zuo Zhe. He ignored the fact that he confirmed their suspicion. Or it\'s right to say, it was his plan. He\'s also ignoring all the gazes on them two. 

"I – I don\'t know…" Zuo Zhe looked away, but his cheeks and ears are flushed red.

"You order me without me complaining. I protect you - " Yu Sheng said as he counted on his fingers. "I warm your bed – " he added. 

Zuo Zhe\'s eyes widened and he glared at Yu Sheng. "You don\'t!" he cut him off.

"Eh…? But, I do." Yu Sheng disagreed. "Am I not your human heater when you\'re cold every night?" he asked and smiled. But, his smile is filled with evil. 

Zuo Zhe\'s face couldn\'t be any redder. "Then don\'t say things that could make others misunderstand – !" he told him. He\'s itching to bite him! 

The people were looking their way. One, because of their awe and curiosity of Yu Sheng. Two, because their attention was caught by Zuo Zhe\'s voice. Zuo Zhe seemed to be unaware, but Yu Sheng knew they have caught the people\'s attention, and he seemed to be enjoying it.

"So that Yu Sheng is… towards that young man – " the people whispered.

Zuo Zhe froze when he finally noticed. He heard what the people said, and he wanted to bury himself ten feet below the ground. "You deliberately - !" he glared at Yu Sheng. He kicked him. 

"Aia~ I just want them to know you\'re mine, so other people can back off and wouldn\'t dare try to approach you." Yu Sheng explained. Then, he looked at Li Tian and the others, including Lei Qing and You Rou.

"… huh?" they said. They are puzzled by Yu Sheng\'s hostile gaze.

Zuo Zhe placed a palm on his face. "Drop it. They don\'t think of me that way." He told Yu Sheng and sighed.

"So long they wouldn\'t dare – " Yu Sheng said and smiled as he turned to Zuo Zhe. His gaze is gentle but is also filled with warning.

"They won\'t! They won\'t!" Zuo Zhe told him. "Can we continue to watch the matches now?" he asked Yu Sheng. Then, he turned to Cheng Sheng and the others.

"Yeah." Yu Sheng said as he sat on the bench. He saw Zuo Zhe was standing, and there was no seat available.

The people thought that he\'d give up his seat for Zuo Zhe. They were shocked to find how shameless Yu Sheng really is.

"Master." Yu Sheng called, still using the way he addressed Zuo Zhe before as a form of harassment. "Your legs will be tired if you\'ll stand. Sit here." He told him.

"Where?" Zuo Zhe asked as he looked for a seat.

"Here." Yu Sheng patted his lap. Zuo Zhe\'s face darkened and he ignored Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng, seeing Zuo Zhe\'s about to snap, finally stopped teasing him. "Alright." He said and rose from his seat, then made Zuo Zhe sat on his seat.

"You can be sensible." Zuo Zhe told Yu Sheng as the next match has started.

Yu Sheng smiled. "You\'re my master, after all." He told him.

Hearing that, Zuo Zhe\'s face reddened once again.
