The Scum Is A ***

Chapter 435 - The Scum Is A Failure



"Er zi!" Cheng Sheng called as he reached the back of Fei Yinzi\'s clothes. Then, he pulled him towards him and saw he\'s unconscious. "Xiao Ling!" he called to his sword that sank in the water. 

The sword immediately responded and flew out of the water, then towards Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng reached his arm out and grabbed Xiao Ling. He turned, ready to urge Xiao Ling to fly when his eyes widened after he saw there\'s a waterfall ahead! 

He didn\'t waste any time and willed Xiao Ling to fly to pull them up. "Get us to the ground!" he told the sword. 

Xiao Ling immediately responded and pulled them up. Cheng Sheng sighed in relief as Xiao Ling brought them to the ground. But, he suddenly felt his sword shake. Uh-oh. There\'s not enough qi. He thought. He let go of his sword and he and Fei Yinzi fell and rolled to the ground. "Er zi! Er zi!" he called as he tapped Fei Yinzi\'s cheek to wake him up. When the child didn\'t respond, he felt his chest tightened. 

He was about to lose it on the spot when Fei Yinzi suddenly coughed. Cheng Sheng then released his breath he didn\'t notice he was holding. His back fell on the ground and he looked at the demon-infested village afar. 

"Let them all die." He muttered and closed his eyes, feeling exhausted. He thought that they were going to save people, but were actually almost fed to the demons instead. 

With eyes closed, he took out a Message Talisman and then sent it away, going to the direction of the Xinfaxian Sect. If it\'s him, he would let these bastards die. However, he saw some children in the village. He is afraid that they would be fed to the demon next after those villagers missed to feed them to the demons. He doesn\'t know if there were children or other innocent people that were fed to the demons before. 

He\'ll just have someone in the Xinfaxian Sect to take care of it. Oh, and he hopes they would kill those vile people treating a demon as their pet. As expected, raising evil makes them also evil.

Fei Yinzi, who was recuperating from the demon village incident, suddenly had a dream. He once asked Li Tian and Feng Mo about Cheng Sheng\'s favorite food. 

"Li-shibo. Feng-shibo. What is shizun\'s favorite food?" he asked. 

"It\'s meat buns!" both immediately answered. 

Fei Yinzi\'s eyes lit up. He\'s curious about what a meat bun would taste like since Cheng Sheng never tried to feed it to him before. So, shizun just doesn\'t want someone to eat his favorite meat buns? He thought and giggled. Shizun is really cute, despite being cold and always scowling. 

"Thank you, Li-shibo. Feng-shibo! I\'m gonna buy it for shizun!" he said and ran. He missed to see the shocked look on Li Tian\'s and Feng Mo\'s face. 

"Don\'t!" they called. However, Fei Yinzi is already gone. Their faces had gone pale because, after Fei Yinzi had just left, Cheng Sheng arrived. 

"What\'s wrong?" Cheng Sheng asked when he saw their shocked faces. 

"Shidi..." they called, extremely looking guilty. 

Cheng Sheng was puzzled by their reaction but then frowned when he remembered something. "Hey. Those disciples of yours. They bully my son!" he told them. "Don\'t blame me for punishing them if they\'d bully that little devil next time!" he said before he left, again. 

"Shidi..." they called and watched Cheng Sheng left. We\'re afraid... you\'re the one who\'ll suggest for him to be bullied next time after he\'ll give you your beloved meat buns tonight. They thought and sighed as they lit up candles for Fei Yinzi. 

... 

"If they\'d bully you, you strike them back. Don\'t hold back, okay? I don\'t want the others think I\'m raising a pathetic child." Cheng Sheng frowned as he still felt pissed by Li Tian\'s and Feng Mo\'s students. 

"Shizun! Are you hungry?" Fei Yinzi asked. 

Cheng Sheng heard his question and he felt even more pissed. "Are you not listening to your shifu?" he asked as he glared at him. 

Fei Yinzi smiled, and the bruise on his cheek became more distinct. Cheng Sheng\'s face darkened and his grip on his fan tightened. 

"Shizun. Don\'t be mad anymore. I know Li-shibo and Feng-shibo would discipline them, so I didn\'t fight back." he explained. 

"By the way, shizun. If you\'re hungry, you can eat this first." Fei Yinzi said as he took out a basket filled of meat buns. 

What he expected to be a smile became a frown when CS\'s eyes narrowed and he slapped the basket of meat buns from his hands. Fei Yinzi was shocked. 

"I didn\'t say I am hungry!" Cheng Sheng told Fei Yinzi who was frozen. Damn it... why do you have to remind me of each memory of da shixiong? He thought as he hatefully glared at Fei Yinzi. His tears finally formed in his eyes, and it blurred his sight. 

However, just as they were about to fall, he heard a sob. 

He was startled and he wiped his eyes before he saw Fei Yinzi crying. "What happened to you?" he sharply asked. Stupid. I\'m the one who\'s supposed to cry here! He thought. He knew Fei Yinzi would never cry, even if he was bullied. So, he was surprised to see the child cried before him. 

"Sh-shizun... this... this disciple just wants for shizun to smile." Fei Yinzi said in between his sobs. "That... that\'s why I asked Li-shibo and Feng-shibo of shizun\'s favorite food..." he explained, his voice is shaking and is filled with grievance as he lowered his head to hide his tears. But, he failed since his tears continuously fell to the ground. "Sh-shizun... shizun hates me..." he added. 

Cheng Sheng was shocked. He didn\'t expect for this little devil to be so sensible. Am I frowning too much? He thought and looked at Fei Yinzi whose whole face is red from crying. This child... he thought and sighed before he raised his hand. 

Fei Yinzi flinched, thinking Cheng Sheng would hit him. But, he should know better. Even if Cheng Sheng hates him (he\'s the only one thinking this), but all this time, he never had hit him. Thus, he was surprised to feel a warm and light hand on his head. 

"Er zi." Cheng Sheng called. This is the first time he finally called him properly and not just \'you\' or \'little devil\' or \'brat\', or calling him this address in a joking way. "I don\'t hate you." he told him. "I just had a lot of things in my mind." he explained. Lot of things = only Fei Yin. He thought and sighed. I should appreciate this child more. He\'s already growing up. He thought. "Er zi." he called. 

"Shizun..." Fei Yinzi called as he stared at Cheng Sheng. Shizun doesn\'t hate me? He thought, surprised. 

"From now on, don\'t call me \'shizun\'." Cheng Sheng told him. "Call me \'shifu\'." he said. 

Fei Yinzi\'s eyes brightened and obediently nodded. However, the next day, he still called Cheng Sheng \'shizun\'. At the beginning, it\'s because he still hasn\'t adjusted to the sudden change in address. The next reason, he didn\'t feel the need to change his address to Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng still thought the child is still adjusting, so he didn\'t correct him. However, later, when he had gotten used of Fei Yinzi\'s presence and loosened up, Cheng Sheng felt the child is being disrespectful so he started to correct him. 

However, Fei Yinzi\'s feelings is starting to change. 

Cheng Sheng had enough. "Who told you to call me \'shizun\', you disrespectful child!" he asked. 

"Shizun... it\'s me..." Fei Yinzi said as he lowered his head to hide his smile. "This disciple has seen the other disciples calling Li-shibo, Feng-shibo, Lei-shishu, Lei-shigu and You-shigu \'shizun\', so this disciple followed them." he explained. "This disciple is wrong... shizun, please punish me!" he said and knelt down on the floor hard, his knees hitting the floor can be loudly heard. 

Cheng Sheng immediately felt guilty. So, it\'s my fault for ignoring him before thus he\'s calling me \'shizun\' now? He thought and bit his lips as he looked at Fei Yinzi kneeling. "No... it\'s my fault." he said as he immediately helped him up. "I should\'ve been..." more sensible, since I am the adult. He thought and sighed. I\'m such a failure. 

"Shizun, you forgive me?" Fei Yinzi asked, still kneeling. 

"Yes, yes. You\'re forgiven." Cheng Sheng told him as he pulled him up again since the child didn\'t move. 

Fei Yinzi smiled in triumph. He was about to ask if he can continue to call him \'shizun\' when Cheng Sheng poured cold water on his head, making his smile froze. 

"However, from now on, you should start calling me \'shifu\'." Cheng Sheng told him. 

Fei Yinzi couldn\'t smile anymore. I\'m such a failure. The child, who failed in his scheme, thought.
