50 Day 49: The Scum Is Welcomed (1/2)

Even though Sun Yi is a Promising Sect disciple, but he didn't go back to their sect and instead went together with the others towards the Newfound Land. He'll never miss this chance to see another thing unfolds.

Wu Yuan, even though he's the Promising Sect's number one disciple and heir, but he went together with the other towards the Newfound Land...

Ah, no. He only goes with his lover.

Chen Han, although he's the number two disciple of the Promising Sect, but since his 'little brother' Chen Sheng isn't going to the Promising Land with him, he could only follow them.

He could only write a letter to their parents and the entire Chen family apologizing he couldn't bring Chen Sheng back since another problem arose. He also stated in the letter the original Chen Shen is staying in the Demonic Sect and will never go back.

Knowing the entire Chen family will faint, he couldn't do anything but tell them the truth.

The Upright Sect is in the North of the HuiLong (gray dragon) Continent; the Demonic Sect in the South; the Promising Land in the West and the Newfound Land – which was only named 15 years ago, is on the East.

From Upright Sect situated in the North, the group travels towards the East of the continent, in which the time they'll arrive, the sun will greet them brightly.

”Shifu.” The ever – silent Fei Yin finally spoke for the first time since their departure on the Upright Sect. ”Founder.” He called.

Xie Lan and Fang Wen turned to him.

”What exactly happened to the Newfound Land ever since that incident happened?” he asked, referring to the Newfound Land being attacked.

It was a while before Xie Lan answered. ”Now that I think about it... even I must be mistaken.” He said.

Their eyes went wide, shocked by Xie Lan's statement, yet they didn't speak and remained silent.

”What do you mean, Senior Xie?” Fei Lin asked.

Xie Lan turned to him. ”Junior Fei.” He called. ”Have you ever thought even just once you've been led by your eyes?” he asked.

Fei Lin's forehead knotted, then shook his head. ”'eyes'? Not 'nose'?” he asked.

Xie Lan nodded. Fang Wen is just silent. Xi Ling is as puzzled by Fei Lan.

”Leading someone by their nose means leading them while obscuring their sight to lead them, mostly, to their harm.” Xie Lan said. ”But... this time, I was led with my eyes wide open. But... it wasn't to harm me. Instead, it's to everybody's safety.” He explained.

They all looked at him.

Xie Lan continued. ”It was Yu Sheng I fought with that night, that I am sure.” He said. ”But. He did it to garner my attention to warn me.” he explained.

”'warn'?” Fei Yin asked.

Xie Lan nodded and looked at his number one disciple. ”Not just for the entire Land's (Newfound) safety, but also for Sheng-er, as well.” He answered.

Their eyes went wide and looked at Chen Sheng who's now sleeping on Xia Di's back. They sighed, relieved, since Chen Sheng can't hear this and be remained innocent to everything.

Xie Lan continued. ”Junior Fei and Junior Xi already knows. Yu Sheng is after Sheng – er, yet it's for Sheng – er's safety. Also – ” he said and glanced at Fei Lin and Xi Ling.

The two, realizing what's Xie Lan's gonna do, fell silent.

Xie Lan turned to Li Tian and Feng Mo. ” – Sheng – er's soul is not a part of Yu Sheng's soul.” He told them.

As expected, the two were shocked. ”What?!” they said. ”What does founder means?” they asked, puzzled.

Fang Wen answered. ”Sheng-er's soul is his own. It was a whole soul, like ours.” He said and lowered his head.

Li Tian's and Feng Mo's eyes went wide. They could only lower their head.

For Fei Lin, Xi Ling, Chen Han, Fei Yin, Sun Yi and Wu Yuan, who already knows Chen Sheng's soul is his own and not Yu Sheng's... they could only remain silent.

”Senior Xie.” Fei Lin called after the deafening silence. ”This matter... if there's no trace of malevolent energy, then...” he said and looked at Xie Lan.

Xie Lan shook his head. ”We still can't say it's not the work of demonic cultivator just because of the absence of malevolent energy.” He said. ”But, we also cannot say this is the work of the Righteous cultivator also because of the absence of malevolent energy.” He added.

”Then...” Xi Ling said.

Fang Wen shook his head. ”We still don't know.” He softly said.

Another silence fell.

Demonic Sect.

”Useless!” the black – robed man yelled and threw the glass wine to the green – robed man.

The green – robed man didn't dodge and instead just let the black – robed man display his anger. ”Forgive me.” he said and lowered his head, his green – robe soaked in red wine making it look like it's dyed in blood. ”I cannot show my objection to the matter, or they'll suspect me.” he told him.

The black – robed man looked at him. ”If, at this point, they still don't suspect you, then they're all idiots.” He said and scoffed, disdain in his voice.

The green – robed man lowered his head. ”... then I hope they'll forever remain idiots.” He just said.

Promising Sect.

Due to unexpected rain, they all had no choice but to go to the Promising Land which is nearer to the Upright Sect, much to Chen Han's joy.

The group, which is composed of two Immortal Stage cultivators – Xie Lan (high level) and Fei Lin (mid – level); two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators – Fang Wen (high level) and Xi Ling (peak level); five Core Formation Stage cultivators – Fei Yin (mid – level), Li Tian (early level), Wu Yuan (peak level), Sun Yi (high level), Chen Han (peak level); one peak level Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator – Feng Mo, and one 3rd level Qi Condensation Stage cultivator – needless to say, the just woke up Chen Sheng.

Even though this large group of cultivators is brimming with talent (except one – Chen Sheng), they still didn't notice the approaching rain clouds since their thoughts are deep.

Maybe, to say, their deep thoughts making their group gloomy attracted the rain clouds to add to their gloomy atmosphere.

And now, the shocked but overjoyed Chen family warmly welcomes the group of ten. Even though the Chen family is the biggest supporter of the Promising Sect and the Wu family is the second, yet it's Wu Yuan who will be the successor of the sect is because the Chen family, although a powerhouse family, yet they value family more than prestige.

That is why only the Wu family that became the sect leaders of the Promising Sect instead of the Chen family, this leaving a good impression of the Chen family, a deep and everlasting respect of the Wu family to the Chen family.

This is also one of the reasons why Wu Yuan highly respects Chen Han, though only at first.

This tightly bonded Chen family, aside from deep respect from the people of the lands, also has one other name – the ultimate family-con clan. This shows to the widely – famous brocon Chen Han.

And now the Chen family is crying with joy and appreciation towards Chen Sheng who they are now smothering with love.

”Don't worry, Ah Sheng... we'll still welcome you and accept you. You're already a Chen – ” they told him, crying, as they forgotten the talented and handsome nine gentlemen cultivators that are still soaked in rain, and instead smothering affectionately the talentless and scum but still cute cultivator Chen Sheng.

The nine gentlemen cultivators don't mind, anyway, since they already knew about this side of the Chen family. The attentive yet Chen Sheng fan maids of the Chen family, although they also want to hug Chen Sheng, didn't forget their visitors and gave them towels and tea.

They'll ask for Chen Sheng's sign and portrait later and hug him tightly.

Chen Sheng shyly smiled at the Chen family who are still crying even after he already changed clothes after ten maids gave him 20 robes to change. ”T – thank you...” he said and respectfully and gratefully bowed.

This just made the doting Chen family burst into tears. ”Ah Sheng!” they cried and hugged him, Chen Han included.

The nine gentlemen cultivators just sighed and smiled as they shook their head and sipped their tea. Chen Sheng, despite his misfortune from past till present (his issue on cultivation and now someone is after him), fortunately found a loving and warm family to comfort him.

”Oh, right.” It was the Chen patriarch, Chen father, who first recovered. Of course, he had still to keep his face towards the visitors since he's the patriarch. Although his face was already broken now after he cried the hardest, harder than his wife Chen mother, after seeing Chen Sheng.

Though Chen Sheng could be called the replacement of Chen Shen as their second son, Chen Sheng is given the equal love they give to Chen Han, their first son. But, it's obviously much greater now since it was Chen Sheng they first noticed as the group arrived although Chen Han entered the household first and Chen Sheng entered last because he had yet to keep Xia Di on a shed.

”Thank you for taking care of our Ah Sheng.” He said and respectfully bowed to Xie Lan, Fang Wen, then Fei Lin and Xi Ling. He stood straight.

Though his figure is respectable, but you'll lose all your respect since he's smiling stupidly as he looked at their 'second son', Chen Sheng.

They already owned this unknown being Chen Sheng, whose origins still hasn't been confirmed. But, obviously, this matter doesn't stop the Chen family and instead they'd gladly and openly will help to find Chen Sheng's origins and mercilessly, ruthlessly kill whoever wanted to find Chen Sheng.

That's how overly protective and doting the Chen family, if you still don't see it.

”Mother. Father.” Chen Han called. ”After the rain, we have to continue to Newfound Land.” He told them.

The festive atmosphere died down. The whole Chen family glared at Chen Han as if he's a traitor and the whole family is teaming up against him, their heir.

If Chen Han is any normal person, he'd cry because of his situation. But, obviously he isn't a normal person. He's a brocon, equally doting to Chen Sheng as the Chen family. He cried, yet it's because of grief.

Not for himself, but for helplessness of Chen Sheng's situation.

”Mother. Father. Grandma. Grandpa. I wanted Ah Sheng to stay here, too! But - !” he said and looked at Chen Sheng, now obviously crying. ”He wants to go to Newfound Land!” he said and sobbed.

The Chen family sniffed and looked at Chen Sheng, looking like a pitiable rabbit and Chen Sheng is their merciless master.

But, Chen Sheng is really merciless. He respectfully bowed and shyly smiled. ”S – sorry... but... the Newfound Land's and our sect's problem is important – ” he said and uttered an apology.
