The Scum Is Irksome

A long silence fell.

"… you have arranged all these this far?" they asked as they looked at Cheng Sheng with a complicated expression.

Cheng Sheng nodded. "I apologize for acting such without all your permission." He sincerely said as he looked at each one of them. Before they could speak, he continued. "It's not that I do not trust you all, nor do I trust the Huakai Sect more. If I should have a bias, shouldn't I have arranged for my sect to take action instead of the Huakai Sect?" he asked them.

Xie Lan smiled, as well as Fan Wen and the others. "You know how cautious the enemies are, thus you acted behind the scenes to preempt their actions?" he asked.

"Yes." Cheng Sheng nodded before he fell silent. "Until now, father, former sect leader Wu, elder Fei, and elder Xi haven't caught any spirit servant again." His lips were pulled into a frown.

Their expressions changed. "You mean… the enemies are aware of our actions?" they asked.
