"What?!" Xie Lan exclaimed. This humongous ball is Cheng Sheng?! He thought in shock. "Ah – " muttered when his hand slipped off the ball. "Oops... ugh!" he cried and fell on his back when the ball of silver light hit his nose. "This unfilial disciple!" he yelled as he ran after Cheng Sheng's soul that flew past him. "Xiao Yin, follow us! We have to return this unfilial disciple's soul to him so that I can hit him!" he said, his face had an angry expression.

The silver ball of light, as if sensing what Xie Lan said, jerked and immediately flew away.

"AH! It can hear me!" Xie Lan exclaimed. "You wait! Wait for laozi!" he yelled at the silver light running away. "Wen-er!" he called his sword spirit and threw the jade on his waist in the air. Wen-er immediately fused with the jade and turned into a sword. "Cheng Sheng! Your father spoils you too much, but I will definitely punish you! Come back here!" he said as he chased the silver light around the empty Yunxiao Inn.

"Xiao Bao." Fei Yin called his sword spirit. "Meet your mom." He told it.

Xiao Bao floated in front of Cheng Sheng and stared at Cheng Sheng's face before it tilted its head.

"Pft – " Fei Yin chuckled and gently patted Xiao Bao's head. "Let's go. Let's bring back your mother." He said as he carried Cheng Sheng on his back.

Xiao Bao yawned and its eyelids lowered, then fused with the jade pendant. The next second and the jade pendant turned to a sword.

Fei Yin looked at his sword like it's a treasure. "I promise I'll save him." He said, as if speaking to Xiao Bao. As an answer, his sword glowed.

Fei Yin rode on his sword and chased after Xie Lan and the silver ball of light – which is Cheng Sheng's soul.

"Xiao Yin! You go around the back outside!" Xie Lan told Fei Yin. He's1 flying on his sword as he moved around the inn, following the giant silver light that's bumping on the pillars and crushing them. He immediately leapt off of his sword as a pillar fell. His body flew past it and then he landed back on his sword again.

"Yes!" Fei Yin answered and flew outside, going around the inn to block the way of the silver light that's flying towards the open door.

When the silver light saw him, it jumped and then flew faster.

Fei Yin's pupils shrank. "Wait - !" he said when he saw they're going to collide. Too late for him to stop his sword and move out of the way since he's also carrying Cheng Sheng's weight, doubling the weight on his sword. "Ha - " he gasped as they collided.

"Xiao Yin! Xiao Sheng!" Xie Lan called when he saw Fei Yin collided with the soul. Then, the silver light flashed and enveloped the space. "Ngh!" he covered his eyes with his arm as the space finally broke.

CRACK! CRASH! Lei Ling and the others flinched under the table when they heard a loud crash.

"OW!" Lei Ling cried when his head hit the table. "What was that?!" he asked and immediately crawled out under the table. He almost crashed on the bench when he went outside. "Cheng-shixiong! Da shixiong! Founder!" he called when he saw Xie Lan was leaning on the wall while Cheng Sheng and Fei Yin are lying on the floor and are unconscious. "What happened?!" he asked as he ran towards them.

The others also had come out where they're hiding. "Founder?" Li Tian called as he and Chen Han went inside and they saw Xie Lan was holding his head. An angry expression was on his face.

Xie Lan pressed his lips tight as he held back his temper. "Take these two to rest. They had to conserve their strength for tomorrow's matches." he told them and then left.

"What happened… " Lei Ling muttered and was puzzled.

"Da shixiong?!" Feng Mo exclaimed when he saw Fei Yin stirred. "Da shixiong, what happened to you and Cheng-shidi?" he asked after Fei Yin woke up.

Fei Yin sat up, then saw that Xiao Bai returned as a jade. "Sheng… Cheng-shidi…" he called as he turned to Cheng Sheng. "Ha!" He gasped when he saw the side of Cheng Sheng's uniform is soaked red. "Cheng-shidi!" he exclaimed and carefully picked him up.

"Da shixiong… Cheng-shixiong!" You Rou was shocked to see the blood on Cheng Sheng's clothes.

"Ah Sheng!" Chen Han called as he followed Fei Yin carefully placing Cheng Sheng on the empty long table. "What happened?" he asked Fei Yin.

"I… " Fei Yin's voice is hoarse and his lips are trembling in fear. Not because of Chen Han, nor their fellow disciples, but of Cheng Sheng's condition. "... accidentally cut him." he answered in a low voice. Guilt was written all over his face. He balled his fists as his face and eyes are filled with pain. He looked away. His heart can't bear to see Cheng Sheng and the wound he gave him.

"What?! Why?! How?!" Chen Han asked and was about to pull Fei Yin to fight when Li Tian stopped him.

"Let him treat Cheng-shidi's wound first!" Li Tian told Chen Han.

Sun Yi saw Fei Yin's hands are shaking and he immediately took over treating Cheng Sheng's wound. He opened Cheng Sheng's clothes and sharply inhaled when he saw a deep cut on Cheng Sheng's side. "Cheng-shidi…" he called and turned to Fei Yin. Even if they're from different sects, but Sun Yi had sincerely cared for Cheng Sheng.

Chen Han's face darkened when he also saw the wound and he punched Fei Yin.

"Chen-shixiong! Da shixiong!" Lei Ling called as he and the others immediately broke the two apart with much difficulty since Chen Han doesn't want to stop hitting Fei Yin who doesn't fight back.

"Ah Yi." Wu Yuan called and helped Sun Yi treat Cheng Sheng's wound.

"What happened?!" Zuo Zhe asked as he and Yu Sheng arrived downstairs after they heard the commotion. "WHA - !" he was shocked to see the wound of Cheng Sheng. "Who… who did this?!?" he asked as he looked at them. Then, his gaze fell on Fei Yin who wore a guilty expression. "You?! Why?!" he said, shocked. A hurt expression was on his face.

For a moment, everything became still. "… why do you look more pained than Fei Yin and Chen Han?" they asked him. "Who is Cheng Sheng to you?" they added, a look of confusion was on their face. They have been suspicious of Zuo Zhe and Yu Sheng's background.

Ah. Zuo Zhe thought and his face became red. My tongue slipped... he thought.

"Zhe." Yu Sheng called as he placed a hand on Zuo Zhe's shoulder, causing Zuo Zhe to jerk in fright. "I think it's time for you to tell them." he told him.

"W-what is?" Zuo Zhe nervously asked. The others looked confused.

"About – " Yu Sheng said as he deliberately made a pause. Then, he turned to them. "… why don't you treat him first, then we'll tell you later?" he asked them.

"UGH!" they all crashed on the floor after Yu Sheng hang their appetite1. "Fine. You tell us later!" Feng Mo told Yu Sheng.

"Yeah." Yu Sheng calmly said.

Meanwhile, Zuo Zhe's forehead was beaded in cold sweat. "Yu Sheng…" he called. "If something happens to Cheng Sheng…" he said. "I'm dead." He whispered.

"Zhe." Yu Sheng called. "Don't make me jealous, okay – ?" he told him.

"Stop with your cold jokes!" Zuo Zhe said as he glared at Yu Sheng. "I'm serious here!" he said. "If Cheng Sheng dies, I'll die, too!" he told him.

Yu Sheng stared at Zuo Zhe for a long time before he sighed in defeat. "You go." he said.

"Huh?" Zuo Zhe was surprised.

"Go and treat him. Your life is tied to him, right?" Yu Sheng asked.

"Huh? Yeah." Zuo Zhe was bewildered by Yu Sheng's insipid response. He didn't blow up? He thought, feeling surprised as he watched Yu Sheng leave.

"Cheng-shixiong…" Lei Ling called as he cried. "Why can't we stop the bleeding?" he anxiously asked.

Zuo Zhe was pulled back from his thoughts when he heard Lei Ling's voice. He immediately walked towards Cheng Sheng. "Let me check him – " he told them.

They looked at him. "You know medicine?" they asked.

"… yes." Zuo Zhe answered and looked at the system's screen floating in front of him. He had always seen it, and it can't disappear.

"Really?!" they exclaimed in shock. Among their group, Cheng Sheng is the most knowledgeable in medicine. But, right now, Cheng Sheng was the one injured.

"Yes…" Zuo Zhe said as he raised his hands over Cheng Sheng's body while he controlled the system with his mind. "Scan him." He spoke in his mind.

"Scanning... 5%... 10%..." A mechanical and cold voice that can be heard inside Zuo Zhe's mind spoke. "30%... 50%... 80%... 100%... completed." it said. "Soul… error."
