The Scum Is A ***

"Here. You can have this." Qian Lin said as he gave the talismans and magic pills he bought to his fellow disciples when he reunited with them.

The leader of the Qianxu Sect disciples was surprised. "Second young master…!" he cried and was almost moved to tears. He received the talismans and the magic pills and equally distributed them with his fellow disciples. "Second young master, were you talking to the Xinfaxian Sect disciples and the Youxiwang Sect disciples?" he asked as they followed behind Qian Lin.

Qian Lin opened his fan with a snap, his golden sleeve billowed along with his long black hair that was adorned with a golden crown. The smile on his face earlier has disappeared. He looked around, a dull look was on his face. "Yes." he just said.

Hearing the insipid answer from Qian Lin, the leader of the Qianxu Sect disciples shut his mouth. Qian Lin may act like a spoiled and useless son towards his family, and act humble towards other people, but the disciples who had been following Qian Lin knows that they were all just acts of his. Qian Lin is hiding his strength and smarts. He is a scheming person. You may call him two-faced, but Qian Lin only wanted to live peacefully. That is why he wanted to meet Fei Yin and Chen Sheng, as well as Sun Yi – the second young masters who were living freely in the sect they have selected to study. Fei Yin doesn\'t like the way of life in Shanliang, thus he left. Chen Sheng is too average when he was at the Youxiwang Sect since he was overshadowed by his elder brother and Wu Yuan. Thus, he left the Xiwang and found his brilliance on another land. Sun Yi doesn\'t want to be unattached to the world like his family, thus he left Shanliang. Qian Lin… he also wants to be like a bird, able to flap his wings and freely fly, go wherever he can reach. But, he was confined in the middle of the forest with only a small amount of sun he can see during the day, and the nights looked longer. He looked at their sect – his family\'s crest embedded on his robes.

This crest restrains him. In order to hide the dissatisfaction in his heart, he acted like a useless person. He showed a humble expression towards everyone. He only wanted to be free, but it seemed like it\'s too much to ask from his family. His ancestors were barbarians. His father and elder brother inherited the violence in their blood. However, he is different. He was born with a soft heart and a gentle person, like their mother. The moment he realized this fact, he felt he no longer belonged to their land. Thus, he wanted to leave.

"Aio~ I was too blinded by your brightness, I almost didn\'t recognize you, Qian-xiong!" a loud and cheerful voice said.

Qian Lin doesn\'t need to guess who owned the unrestrained voice. He took his time turning and his gaze locked with the gaze of a grinning person wearing a black and orange uniform. "Jing Hei." He called.

Jing Hei smiled widely and hopped towards him. Seeing Jing Hei arrived, the Qianxu Sect disciples respectfully greeted him, then consciously left Qian Lin with him. Jing Hei is Qian Lin\'s best friend. He also knows Qian Lin\'s real self. Thus, he always invited Qian Lin everywhere, and Qian Lin learned how from him sneaking out. However, Jing Hei would always return Qian Lin intact – no hair less. In fact, he only wanted for Qian Lin to loosen up and see the world. "You\'re pulling a very, very long face again~" Jing Hei\'s voice woke Qian Lin from his thoughts. Before he could react, he felt his cheeks were being pulled.

Qian Lin\'s eyes widened and he immediately raised his fan to hit Jing Hei. However, Jing Hei is too familiar with him he dodged the fan. "Jing Bai isn\'t with you?" Qian Lin said when he saw Jing Heii was alone.

Hearing his question, Jing Hei frowned. "Ah Lin… are you cheating with me? It\'s really easy to mistake me and my twin, but I thought you can distinguish me from him!" he said, hurt in his voice.

Qian Lin suddenly felt a headache. He knows Jing Hei was just messing with him. "Stupid." He muttered as he pinched the space between his brows. "So, where is he?" he asked.

Jing Hei still looked dissatisfied, but he answered nonetheless. "Uncle asked him, and he never went back. It must be he sent Jing Bai to the Alliance." He was referring to the Righteous Alliance who are the main hosts of the Intersect Competition. The sects where the event was held lends them a hand for preparations.

"The next Intersect Competition will be held in Qianxu." Qian Lin said.

Jing Hei nodded. "Hey. There\'s a new shop that opened. I\'ll take you there!" he said. He didn\'t wait for Qian Lin to answer as he immediately pulled him away, leaving the hiding Qianxu Sect disciples to eat dust.

"Second young master… QAQ" they cried. Jing Hei was too fast!

Righteous Alliance.

Jing Cheng looked at Jing Bai silently walking beside him. "Where is Jing Hei?" he asked.

Jing Bai smiled. "Da ge. Qian Lin will be arriving today. It\'s rare for them to meet. How can I bear for not letting them meet each other?" he asked.

Jing Cheng\'s face was covered in dark lines. Why is he making the two sounds like the cowherd and the weaver girl? He wanted to put his palm on his face but he restrained himself since they were following Zheng Yi – the eldest disciple in the Righteous Alliance. They can\'t make too much noise to not break the silence in the Wall of Righteousness – the right wing of the main building where the Righteous Alliance is located. "Pray that uncle won\'t beat you two up later." Jing Cheng just told Jing Bai and finally let the matter go. It meant he will cover for the two.

Jing Bai wanted to laugh but he held himself back. How can uncle disagree with you? He covered his mouth to prevent form laughing out loud.
