76 Day 75: The Scum Is A Perver (2/2)
”Hey!” Wu Fan, annoyed because he was ignored, glared at Chen Jing. ”I asked you earlier. What do you mean by what you said?” he asked.
”You clearly didn't ask me that question earlier.” Chen Jing coldly answered.
A deafening silence fell on the Mist Peak Palace's Hall.
The airhead one the Chen Patriarch is referring to... could it be...? They thought as their eyes fell to the embarrassed Wu Fan.
”Fine! I'll ask you again!” Wu Fan said, frowning. He's clearly different from his son, Wu Yuan, who always is serious and has a poker face. ”What do you mean by what you said earlier? Is A – Qing (CJ's wife) an airhead?” he asked.
”Clearly not.” Chen Jing answered.
”Then who is you referring to an airhead one?” Wu Fan asked, then loudly gasped, a realization dawned on him. ”You love someone? You're cheating on A – Qing?!” he asked, shocked.
”Ah.” Everybody inside the hall said, their face blank.
They looked at Chen Jing whose handsome matured face now covered in frost.
”What happened?” Fei Yin whispered to Fei Lin – his elder brother. He just got back.
”Just watch, Yin-er.” Xie Lan told him. ”This'll be a good demonstration to you.” He said, grinning.
'demonstration'? Fei Yin thought as he looked at the Promising Sect, one sect leader and the other one is a sect supporter.
Chen Jing slowly turned to Wu Fan. ”I never cheated on A-Qing, since she knew from the start I love someone else.” He said, his voice low as he looked at Wu Fan, his eyes deep. ”Also, she loves someone else.” He added.
”What?!” Wu Fan said, shocked.
Fei Huang, sitting quietly, wanted to leave now. The topic has long been forgotten and now is totally different.
But, he'd ruin the mood if he'll leave. And so he stayed.
Chen Jing stared at Wu Fan for a long time they all thought he'd confess. But, they were all disappointed when Chen Jing quietly turned away and walked towards the door.
The others, disappointed, sighed as they patted Chen Jing when he passed by them.
”You'll be fine, man. You'll be fine.” it was none other than Xie Lan, the sect leader of the carefree Newfound Sect. ”I've been through with it, the one you love is an airhead. Haaa...” he sighed a long sigh as he patted Chen Jing's shoulder.
The others' face was covered in black lines. Just when did the two of you got close?! They thought.
But, their disappointment is bound to disappear when Wu Fan spoke.
”Wait, Chen Jing!” he called and ran towards Chen Jing who's now at the door. ”I said, 'wait', damn it!” he cursed when Chen Jing didn't stop.
Their eyes went wide when Wu Fan crashed on Chen Jing's back and they rolled down the stone staircase.
”Ah.” They all said.
”Fan!” Chen Jing called as he covered the back of Wu Fan's head immediately. ”Ugh – ” he cried when his elbow hit as they stopped.
Wu Fan's on top of Chen Jing, unhurt.
”Jing!” Wu Fan called, wide-eyed, and looked at Chen Jing.
'Jing'? they thought, watching the two below from above. (They're like the gods watching a pair fall in love XD literal fall XD)
Chen Jing looked at Wu Fan, then smiled. ”You finally called me that.” He said and sighed.
Before Wu Fan could speak, Chen Jing pulled the back of his head and kissed him.
”See? Hilarious, right?” Xie Lan asked and looked at the three who're shocked speechless by his story. ”Pft – ” he laughed and immediately ran away when he saw the dark expression of his wife.
”Xie Lan!!!” Fang Wen called as he ran after Xie Lan. ”Wait there, you bastard! Who're you calling an airhead?!” he asked, mad, as one ran away while the other chase.
Li Tian and Lei Ling looked at each other, then giggled. They smiled when they saw someone stopped in front of them.
”Brother Fei.” Li Tian called.
”Senior Brother Fei.” Lei Ling said and smiled.
They parted and made Fei Yin sat between them. The three of them looked at the clear and bright blue sky while sitting, the voices of their shifu and founder in the background.
”They'll be back.” Lei Ling said after a while. ”He will be back.” he added.
Li Tian smiled. Fei Yin didn't answer.
Lei Ling excused himself when Wen Yan called him, together with some other disciples.
”Brother Fei.” Li Tian called when the two of them are just left. ”I heard him.” he said.
Fei Yin looked at him. ”Who?” he asked.
Li Tian looked back at him, his face serious. ”Brother Chen.” He answered.
Fei Yin's eyes went wide. He knew what Li Tian meant. It's Chen Sheng as their brother, not the princely him.
”What did he say?” he asked.
Li Tian looked at him, then lowered his head. ”When he protected us from Mu Xie and pushed me and Han away, together with uncle...” he said and raised his head. ”When he got that hole on his chest... he said – ” he said and looked at Fei Yin. ”'None of you can hurt my friends.'” He told him.
Fei Yin's eyes went wide and tears formed in his eyes. He looked away, then lowered his head. His tears fell as he remembered what the voice of the system told him.
He watched as everybody gone back to their respective sects. ”System.” He called.
”What?” it asked.
”... aren't I supposed to be out of this world now?” he asked, his voice low.
”Do you want to?” it asked back.
”... don't split hairs with me.” Fei Yin said, his face dark. ”What happened?” he asked. ”And what is going to happen next?” he added.
He knew, from the very beginning, that he'd leave a world when the problem was resolved.
But, now... he's still here. That means, there're still problems left in this world.
”... you'll know it soon.” It said, saying the same line to Zu Zhe.
Fei Yin's face is serious. ”Sheng...” he muttered and looked at the sky where Xia Di brought Chen Sheng earlier. ”I know I'll see you again.” he said, then smiled.
”We'll see him again.” Fei Yin said.
Li Tian's eyes went wide, then he smiled. ”Yes.” He answered and nodded. He excused himself and left, wiping his eyes.
He's gonna cry again.
Fei Yin looked up the sky, then the entrance to their sect. ”This is sooner than I expected.” He said and smiled when he saw two people standing there. ”But, I'll still say it.” he said as his tears fell. He stood up and walked towards them, his pace getting faster every second. ”Welcome back – ” he said as he finally reached them. He looked at the man he longed to see. ” – Sheng.” He said and smiled.
He couldn't help himself and he hugged him.
Little Dragon's G(r)ay Theater:
Chen Sheng: the author just remembered this while rereading the prev chaps after she reached the 104th chap. And so - *pause.
Everybody: what a long introduction - *stops and looks away when CS glared at them.
Chen Sheng: *turns to Mu Jun. Why the hell is your alias 'Old Lao'?
Everybody: ... he said 'hell'... (obviously CS is pissed XD)
Mu Jun: ... when I first saw (met) Huang in that cave, I only saw his body –
Everybody: ... -_- pervert.
Mu Jun: *ignores them. But, after I saw him up close I saw his fake face (old, disguised face), and so it was the word that came out from my mouth when he asked for my name. And so –
Chen Sheng: *cuts off. Alright, alright. That's all – *about to leave.
Mu Jun: ... won't you ask when did he know of my real name - ?
Chen Sheng: I could already guess.
Everybody: *intrigued. Really? *anxious.
Chen Sheng: *nods. The same time we all knew of Mu Jun's real identity –
Everybody: ........ WHAT?!
Chen Sheng: *disappears.
Everybody: then... why didn't he react - ?!
Fei Huang: ... am I or am I not conscious at that time when his name and face connected together? (when they all associated Mu Jun's name to 'Old Lao')
Everybody: .......... Ah.
(please refer to the previous chaps for confirmation XD)
Gray Dragon: .... (actually rereads – again, to confirm XD)
