The Scum Is A ***

After hearing from Sun Yi the number of the Xinfaxian Sect disciples, Chen Han isn't stingy and reserved each room for them seven. However, the three – Lei Ling, Lei Qing and You Rou, weren't that close to Chen Han, thus they politely declined the single room. However, the Youxiwang Sect's – especially the Chen Family's, motto is that 'everybody is a family'. Even if there would be pets, they will also be given a room of their own. Lei Ling, Lei Qing and You Rou have no choice but accept Chen Han's good intentions. Thus, the two women relaxed themselves by enjoying the large bathroom Chen Han assigned to them. Even Lei Ling felt he was dreaming when he saw the wide and comfortable bed. Chen Han's reason was that, tomorrow will be the competition day. He wanted everyone to relax their body and mind. Thus, he rented the whole inn only for the Youxiwang Sect and the Xinfaxian Sect. Later did they learn, the inn is one of Sun Rong's – Sun Yi's elder brother, his businesses. The inn is one of the biggest and most expensive inn in the capital.

Chen Han wanted to room with Li Tian. But, he knew he shouldn't rush him unlike what he did before. He had realized he had been impatient. Fortunately, Li Tian has a good temper and gave him face. Also, Chen Han had introduced Li Tian to his late mother – Chen Qing. No one had expected for Chen Qing to die, but in order to save Chen Jing, she sacrificed herself. It was the noblest thing to do. By the time Cheng Sheng had arrived to the Chen Residence, it was a day later. He had used up his power when he created a Teleportation Array in Shanliangde Sect. Their barrier is stronger than the Youxiwang Sect's, thus, he fainted and slept for two days, just a day after Chen Qing died.

Li Tian's room is next to Feng Mo, who was very pleased since he doesn't need to room with anybody else. Don't misunderstand him for being snobbish, but it was because he already has a partner. Wu Bai is surprisingly possessive, thus Chen Han's decision to give each of them a room for themselves is a good decision. Next to Feng Mo's room is Fei Yin's room. It was just a coincidence since his room is next to Cheng Sheng's, whose room is next to Chen Han's room. Chen Han wanted to be next to Li Tian's room, but Li Tian already chose his room. It was only three rooms away from him, so he felt satisfied.

On the other side of Li Tian's room is Lei Ling's, followed by Lei Qing's and then You Rou's room. Then, there was a hallway, separating her room from Sun Yi's, whose room is next to Chen Han's. The rest of the Youxiwang Sect disciples, their room is on the floors below theirs.

"I thought you would arrive a week earlier." Chen Han spoke as they ate their lunch. "Now you don't have time to see the Capital." He complained. He wanted to bring his younger brother and his wife around the Capital.

"We got held up by some matters…" Cheng Sheng scratched his cheek. "It wouldn't be too late for us to look around. We only have small luggage. After we settled them in our room, and we are already free to roam around." He explained.

Chen Han nodded, agreeing to his idea. Even if the competition is tomorrow, but no one would still train like crazy and tire themselves out unless it's an insane person who only cares about study and no play. "Then, we'll go along with Ah Sheng's arrangement." He decided.

Everyone nodded and hummed in agreement. After they finished eating, they helped the Xinfaxian Sect disciples settle in their room which they will stay in for a whole month. After that and their two groups – one large and one small, went around the Capital.

When the only women in the group came out of a clothing shop, they saw You Rou was holding a sewing kit. "You-shimei, are you going to make something?" one of the Youxiwang Sect disciples asked.

You Rou nodded. "I am going to sew my sleeves longer, and sew Lei-shijie's sleeves shorter tonight." She answered.

"Why? Wouldn't that be a hassle?" another one asked.

Hearing this, You Rou showed a shy smile. "Actually, while we're on our way here, Cheng-shixiong taught me and Lei-shijie something that we could protect ourselves with when things become dangerous." She explained. This is reasonable, since they are women.

"And it has something to do with your sleeves?" someone exclaimed in both surprise and confusion.

You Rou chuckled while Lei Qing meaningfully smiled. "Anyway, you will see during the competition." Lei Qing said.

The Youxiwang Sect disciples finally shut up. Since they were all men who will participate in the competition, seeing female disciples, they would naturally get excited. Not with bad intentions. Instead, their desire to protect the fairer sex bubbled up in their heart. Their fellow female disciples were left in the Youxiwang Sect, thus they have no one to protect to in the Zhongyang aside from themselves. So, seeing the two female disciples of the Xinfaxian Sect, not only they did feel admiration of them for being brave in participating in the competition, but they also wanted to cherish them. All kinds of people have gathered in this potpourri called Zhongyang. And there are the demonic cultivators, too… the Youxiwang Sect and the Xinfaxian Sect are already families, anyway, despite the distance between their sects.

Their groups were leisurely walking around the Capital, sometimes bumping against the people. They didn't know that their leisure time will have to be cut short later.

"Xi Ming." Jing Cheng called Xi Ming who was walking with his siblings and cousin.

"Jing Cheng?" Xi Ming exclaimed in surprise when he turned and saw Jing Cheng who called him.

Jing Cheng nodded his head at him. After Zheng Fu Gong told them about the matter with the demonic cultivators possibly sneaking in the Intersect Competition tomorrow, he and Jing Bai were scolded by Jing Rui until their ears became deaf. When Jing Rui was finished and finally released them, he and Jing Bai immediately split up. Jing Bai was going to find Jing Hei and Qian Lin while he is going to find Xi Ming, Chen Han and Sun Yi. Zheng Fu Gong told them to gather up the ones who were on the previous ranking and for them to help each other monitor if there will be demonic cultivators going to mix in with the participants tomorrow in the Intersect Competition. However, three already left the ranking – Wu Yuan, who became a sect leader; Qian Tian who will be an elder of the Qianxu Sect, and Dongfang Xiaoyun who died. Now, there are only seven people left – Jing Cheng, Chen Han, Sun Yi, Xi Ming, Jing Bai, Jing Hei and Qian Lin. The ranking will be refreshed after the Intersect Competition ends.
