Chapter 145 - The Scum Is Cold-hearted

"Ah Sheng…" Chen Han called when they stopped after they reached the foot of a mountain. He looked like he was hesitating. Sun Yi looked at him.

"Cheng-shidi…" Li Tian and Feng Mo called as they looked at each other. Meanwhile, Yu Sheng and Wu Xi are silent. Xiao Le looked like he was scared after they heard Jie Mei's scream, but he's holding it in.

Outside the secret realm, the audience were booing. "I knew it! The Youxiwang Sect is hesitating. They just ditched her because of Cheng Sheng!" someone said. His voice is filled with anger.

"That's right! How can they be so cowards?! Just because Cheng Sheng is powerful they don't dare to disobey him?!" someone asked.

"I think the Youxiwang Sect had pampered Cheng Sheng too much to the point his head became this big." Somebody said. "In the end, who can't stop him?" he asked. His voice is filled with sarcasm.

"Cheng Sheng is actually cold-hearted!" someone exclaimed as if he has been enlightened.

"Bastard! Who said that?!" Lei Qing said as she raised her fists.

Lei Ling looked at her in disbelief. He had already prepared a talisman to blast the head of these people. He didn't expect for Lei Qing to act first. "Shijie!" he heard You Rou called as she pulled Lei Qing back.

"Shimei…" Lei Ling muttered as he lowered his head in shame. They may be mad for Cheng Sheng's sake, but that didn't give them the right to abuse their power to beat up the ordinary people for Cheng Sheng's sake. Even Cheng Sheng wouldn't want that. They know it. That's how kind-hearted he is, albeit a scum.

"Shijie!" You Rou called as she pulled Lei Qing back. "Don't hurt them!" she told her.

"Shimei!" Lei Qing called in surprise.

"I'm weaker than you, and my punches don't hurt that much, so let me do it!" You Rou said as she faced the people talking bad about Cheng Sheng.

"…" We thought you'd protect us! The people thought. These Xinfaxian Sect disciples, there's something wrong in their brain! Especially the women! They thought.

"…" where's the kind shimei I know? Lei Qing thought.

"…" Lei Ling and Zuo Zhe stared blankly at You Rou.

In the end, the three of them pulled You Rou back to their seat. "What do you think Cheng-shixiong is thinking?" You Rou asked as she lowered her head.

"No one knows, nor can guess." Zuo Zhe said as they resumed watching.

Inside the secret realm, Cheng Sheng was facing his remaining eight teammates. "What?" he coldly asked Chen Han.

Chen Han was startled by Cheng Sheng's tone. "Ah Sheng, why are you – " he said.

Cheng Sheng cut him off. "Why did I leave her when I know she'll die?" he asked.

"… yes." Chen Han answered. Among them, only Chen Han has the right to question Cheng Sheng's intentions and reprimand him. They all have faith on Cheng Sheng, but they were shocked of his decision.

"If your trust on me diminished, you can leave." Cheng Sheng said, which shocked them. "I'm not forcing you, aren't I?" he asked.

"Ah Sheng!" Chen Han called. His voice is filled with anger.

"Cheng-shidi!" Li Tian and Feng Mo can't help but sharpen their tone. Xiao Le was cowering behind Yu Sheng and Wu Xi.

"I don't want to die later just because of my teammate's hesitation." Cheng Sheng said.

"Ah Sheng, you…" Chen Han can't help but show a hurtful expression. "Ah Tian…?" he called when he saw Li Tian sided on him.

"I didn't side with you because I'm your fiancé, but because I think what my shidi did is wrong." Li Tian told Chen Han as he glared at Cheng Sheng.

"I'll be taking my side, too, then." Feng Mo said and sided with Chen Han.

"Then, I'm taking this side." Yu Sheng said as he sided with Chen Han, which surprised them. He always had a laidback expression. They didn't know he's actually righteous. "What's with that expression?" he asked them.

"Xiao Le." Cheng Sheng called. "If you're afraid, you go with them." he told Xiao Le. "I won't renege on my promise." He whispered.

"C-Cheng-shixiong…" Xiao Le cried. "Sorry!" he said and ran to Chen Han's side.

To more surprise of the audience, Sun Yi stayed with Cheng Sheng! "Sorry, da shixiong." Sun Yi said and smiled at Chen Han. "Staying with Cheng-shidi is livelier." He told him.

"Sun-shidi!" Chen Han called, his eyes wide in shock as he stared at Sun Yi.

"Sheng." Fei Yin called as he stared at Cheng Sheng.

"You can leave." Cheng Sheng told Fei Yin.

"No. I'll stay." Fei Yin answered.

Wu Xi silently stayed behind Cheng Sheng. He's also siding with him. He doesn't care about anything, anyway, and he also had a deal with Cheng Sheng.

The Alliance's disciple looked at the two groups. He doesn't know which side to follow. "Follow them." Cheng Sheng told him. "Our group will be okay." He said as he, Fei Yin, Sun Yi and Wu Xi left. They immediately disappeared from everyone's sight

Outside the secret realm, the audience was in uproar. "What the - !" they exclaimed. "Even their group had a disagreement!" they said. They were really shocked. After all, the Xinfaxian Sect and Youxiwang Sect were families. They didn't expect for the two sects to split up. Even more, they also split up between themselves! Sun Yi and Chen Han split up, and Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin, and Feng Mo and Li Tian also split up! What the hell is going on?!

"Cheng-shixiong… da shixiong… Li-shixiong… Feng-shixiong…" Lei Ling and You Rou cried while Lei Qing sadly sighed. Zuo Zhe remained silent.

"Everyone had split up." The emcee said after he recovered from his shock. "Even Kang Ce's team split up, and the last group. Only the Huakai Sect, their team didn't." he said. The Huakai Sect has unity between them since they're only one sect. Thus, it is reasonable to remain together. "It's only the first day, but everyone already had a disagreement. What will happen to them in the remaining six days?" he asked.

In the secret realm, Chen Han watched the direction Cheng Sheng, Sun Yi and Fei Yin left. Even if he had said before he wanted to kill her, but it was only said out of anger. He didn't mean it. He can't kill someone who hasn't done anything wrong. But, perhaps Fei Yin meant it? He suddenly thought. His eyes widened and he gasped in horror.

"Chen Han. What's wrong?" Li Tian asked when he saw Chen Han's face paled. "It's alright. Everything will be alright. Cheng-shidi had always thought he's right. Now, he had erred." He said and sighed. "He should realize his mistake. Let's find someplace to rest first. We're going to stay here for seven days. Who knows what might happen?" he asked.

"Li-shixiong is right. We should stick together." Feng Mo said as he looked at Yu Sheng, Xiao Le and the Alliance's disciple who remained with them. "How will you count the score of Cheng-shidi, da shixiong and Sun-shixiong?" he asked the Alliance's disciple.

"…" the Alliance's disciple is speechless. You tell me! He cried in his mind.

Seeing the Alliance's disciple didn't answer, Feng Mo ignored him. He thought the Alliance's disciple has other ways to do his task. He turned back to Yu Sheng and Xiao Le. "Yu-ge." He called Yu Sheng. "Weren't you close to Cheng-shidi? I don't know what relationship you and young master Zuo have with Cheng-shidi, but shouldn't you have stayed with him?" he asked. He had always been direct.

Yu Sheng looked at him. "As I've said, I don't want Zhe to be disappointed in me." he said and paused. Then, he smiled. "I hope you won't ask me with this stupid question again, young master Feng, just to cover up your worry for your shidi's situation." He told him.

Feng Mo's face turned red after being exposed, but he didn't speak anymore. "Drop it." Chen Han said. "Even if we chose to split up with them, but we all know in our heart we're worried for Ah Sheng." He said. "We only split up because we have different opinion from them." he said.

Yu Sheng didn't answer, and Feng Mo and Li Tian lowered their head. Xiao Le was silently crying on the side. "…" what's with this situation? The Alliance's disciple thought. If you're that worried of him, then you shouldn't have split up with him! He cried in his mind. Don't act as if he died! He didn't! He only left your side! He cried in his heart. He already felt so tired even if nothing big has happened yet.

Outside the secret realm, the sect leaders are silent.

"Even the Shanliangde Sect and the Zunjingde Sect split up…" one of the sect leaders said.

"Yeah. Can't help it. They'll be splitting up later, anyway, to raise their own score." Another one said. "Sooner or later doesn't change it." He added.
