81 Day 80: The Scum Is A Player (2/2)
Li Tian smiled, a tear escaped from his eye. ”See you, Brother Feng.” He said and bowed. ”Please look after Brother Chen.” He told him.
Feng Mo nodded, his face red holding back his tears. ”... en.” He said and turned away. He went to Xia Di's side.
Wu Bai comforted him, patting his back.
Fei Yin turned to Fei Huang and Fei Lin. He muttered, then lowered his head. ”... when I come back.” he told them, then flew to the sky to follow Chen Sheng.
Fei Huang and Fei Lin sighed, then smiled.
”I'll return as Fei Yin... when I come back.” was what Fei Yin told them.
”Ling-ling.” Yu Sheng called to Xi Ling.
”Sheng-ge...” Xi Ling called, crying.
Yu Sheng smiled as he patted Xi Ling's head. He's really grateful for the Xi family for raising him. ”I'm relieved since Fei Lin's here to watch over you.” He said and turned to Fei Lin. ”I'll kill you if even a hair of my brother is gone.” He told Fei Lin, then frowned.
Fei Lin just laughed. Xi Ling smiled.
”Ling-ling... Fei Lin...” Yu Sheng called, then smiled. ”Congratulations on your wedding.” He told them.
He still hasn't greeted the two because of the incident yesterday.
”Sheng-ge...” Xi Ling called.
Yu Sheng smiled. ”I'll come back.” he told him. ”Since I still have a wedding to attend to – ” he said and turned to ZuZhe who's busy typing on the holographic keyboard.
He's referring to his wedding with ZuZhe.
”Hm?” ZuZhe said and raised his head, puzzled when he saw they're staring at him.
Yu Sheng smiled and winked to him. ZuZhe's eyes went wide and his face went red.
Yu Sheng laughed as he turned to Xi Ling and Fei Lin. ”See you.” He told them and flew towards ZuZhe.
Feng Mo, Wu Bai, Yu Sheng and ZuZhe waved at them as they all flew to the sky, following Chen Sheng and Fei Yin.
Fang Wen, Lei Ling, Li Tian and Xi Ling are crying. Chen Shen, Chen Han and Sun Yi are holding back their tears. Mu Xin, Wen Yan, Wu Yuan, Mu Jun, Fei Huang, Fei Lin, Xie Lan, Ming Ye and Luo Shi are serious.
They may not know how dangerous going back to BaiLong, now that the once utopia is in chaos. They could only hope for Chen Sheng's and the others' safety.
A long silence fell as they all looked at each other.
”Now, then – ” Fei Huang's the first to speak.
The heavy air because of parting earlier became heavier. Now it's because of tension.
”What does Sect Leader Fei wanted to discuss?” Xie Lan asked, his face underneath the mask is serious.
Ming Ye and Luo Shi also looked at Fei Huang.
Fei Huang looked at them all, one by one, and his eyes fell on Xie Lan. ”Junior Xie.” He called. ”It's about Chen Sheng.” He answered.
Nobody reacted, since it's obvious that the one that should be talked about is Chen Sheng – the one who's the root of this all.
But, it's not because of the troubles Chen Sheng caused them, that's why they're talking about him. Instead, it's about Chen Sheng's welfare.
They are worried about him. As to why...
”... how did Brother Chen knew how to ride on a sword?” it was Li Tian.
”He also talks like an old man.” Chen Shen said.
”... he became more matured.” Chen Han said.
”The air around him... it's higher than that of a noble's.” Sun Yi said.
Those that's closely related to Chen Sheng now have spoken.
”Do you think...” it was Xi Ling. ”... 'Chen Sheng'... is not Chen Sheng anymore?” he asked.
Their eyes went wide, but they didn't speak.
Xi Ling lowered his head as he remembered how Chen Sheng spoke last night during his and Fei Lin's wedding banquet.
They all couldn't speak and instead was drawn to him. They know that Chen Sheng is a prince, so he should have that charisma. But, he was just still young and didn't have a chance to learn how to act like a...
They all stopped, wide-eyed, as they turned to the silent Mu Jun who's standing behind Fei Huang, like always.
Now they realized the thing they've badly missed to think.
”... what?” Mu Jun asked when he saw them all looking at him.
”... I remember you said the rebellion in BaiLong happened 100 years ago?” Fei Huang asked.
”Yes.” Mu Jun answered.
”And the prince's soul was inside Yu Sheng all this time until 15 years ago?”
”Yes.”
”Then – ” it was Ming Ye. ” – how did Young Chen Sheng controlled all that power, when he's been in the dark (amnesiac) all these 15 years?” he asked, remembered Chen Sheng's memories was retrieved just recently, and yet he fought against Mu Xie masterfully.
”Also...” Fei Lin said, his face serious.
They all held their breath, waiting for the question they long wanted to ask to be spoken.
”... why does Chen Sheng act like he knew everything?” Fei Lin asked.
A long silence fell on them as they pondered. These questions... are they supposed to be asked when the one that should answer to the questions already left?
Nobody dared speak, since they all felt like they have been played.
Fei Yin turned when he heard the flapping of wings. He turned and saw Xia Di with Wu Bai and ZuZhe on his back. Yu Sheng and Feng Mo are flying on Xia Di's both sides.
Fei Yin turned and looked at Chen Sheng's back.
”Brother Fei.” Feng Mo called as he flew beside Fei Yin. ”Why are you just here?” he asked. ”I thought you went to Brother Chen.” He said and glanced at Chen Sheng flying alone.
The clouds surrounding Chen Sheng looked like they're hugging him, making Chen Sheng looked transparent.
Like yesterday. Fei Yin thought, remembered how Chen Sheng showed him his 'true form'.
”I'm thinking.” He answered.
”'thinking'?” Feng Mo asked.
”Yes.” Fei Yin said as he took a deep breath, his chest felt heavy.
”... what is Brother Fei thinking?” Feng Mo asked after a while he didn't answer.
Fei Yin looked at Chen Sheng who's appearing and disappearing because of the clouds. ”I'm thinking...” he said, staring at Chen Sheng's back, which makes his heart hurt. ”... just how long does he intend to make us...” he said, then lowered his head.
”Brother Fei...?” Feng Mo called, puzzled by Fei Yin.
Fei Yin raised his head, his eyes misty. He looked at Feng Mo. ”Tell me.” he said, his vision blurred. ”How long is he (Chen Sheng) going to make us look like a fool?” he asked, his voice hurt.
A tear fell from his eyes.
