The Scum Is A ***

While the others are under a tense atmosphere in the Millennium Ship because of Zuo Zhe and Fei Lin, Qian Tian\'s group consisting of Qian Lin, Jing Hei, Feng Mo, Li Tian, Lei Qing, You Rou and himself, felt tense at first before they finally relaxed when they saw that the attitude of the demonic cultivators in the Stop By Town isn\'t excessive unlike the ones that they have met in their respective regions – East, West, North, South and Central, who are hostile and aggressive, killing whoever they wanted, even the defenseless people. 

This made their group taken aback. The demonic cultivators in the Stop By Town are leisurely. They have a good relationship with the citizens here. That didn\'t seem to be faked since they have observed the subconscious actions of the citizens of the Stop By Town. The citizens are really seemed to be in a friendly relationship with the demonic cultivators. 

Of course, they aren\'t a reasonable group. Qian Tian, Qian Lin, Jing Hei, Feng Mo, Li Tian, Lei Qing and You Rou wouldn\'t be mad at the citizens of the Stop By Town just because they have a good relationship with the demonic cultivators. Even though the righteous cultivators and demonic cultivators are at odds with each other, but the righteous cultivators\' primary objective is the people\'s safety. 

Thus, if the citizens of the Stop By Town will be safe if they have a good relationship with the demonic cultivators, then they wouldn\'t stop them. 

"Ah Hei and I will go buy the ingredients for food." Qian Lin said and looked at Jing Hei. 

Jing Hei nodded. 

"Feng-shidi, Lei-shijie and I will buy the bandages and other things in the list." Li Tian said and took out the paper from his sleeve. 

Qian Tian looked at them and nodded. "Then, I\'ll accompany your shimei to buy the ingredients for medicine." He said. 

Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing cupped their fist to Qian Tian. "Sect leader Qian, we are assured of our shimei\'s safety with you." Li Tian said. "Then, we will entrust our shimei to you." He said and looked at You Rou. 

You Rou nodded to Li Tian, Feng Mo and Lei Qing. Then, she turned to bow to Qian Tian. "Sect leader Qian." She called. "Thank you in advance." She said. 

Qian Tian nodded. Then, he turned to Qian Lin and Jing Hei. "Then, we will part ways here." He said. "Let\'s meet here after one hour." He told them. 

"Yes!" they answered. Time is tight. Thus, they immediately went to separate directions to do what they needed to do. 

Qian Tian and You Rou first went to the pharmacies to buy the ingredients of the recipe in her hands. Then, after that, they went to the apothecaries to find the missing ingredients, and also to buy some new herbs. You Rou might discover a new medicine in the future. 

Meanwhile, Qian Lin and Jing Hei, with their straightforward personality, they hoard ingredients one after another. Because of that, they instantly attracted a large number of crowd, as well as some wholesalers. But, although Qian Lin and Jing Hei did as such, they still remembered to be very careful of their identity since this is the territory of the demonic cultivators. 

On the Xinfaxian Sect disciples\' side, however, they were caught in a dilemma. 

"Li-shixiong…" Feng Mo called as he nervously glanced at Li Tian. "What do we do?" he asked. 

Li Tian didn\'t speak. Meanwhile, Lei Qing helped the dying woman up. "Excuse me." She said as she fed her a magic pill to alleviate her breathing. 

They have bought some materials when they passed by an alley and found the mother and child behind the dumpster. If they weren\'t keen on their surroundings because of the demonic cultivators swarming around them, they would definitely miss the faint breathing of the woman. Meanwhile, the child whom they thought that\'s already dead is actually just sleeping deeply. 

This is fine, though. He doesn\'t have to witness the death of his mother. 

"No need to save me…" the woman said as she held Lei Qing\'s hand. "Save this child instead of me." She said and weakly turned her head to look at her child. 

"What happened to both of you?" Feng Mo asked. 

The woman sadly smiled. "When the Ni Lai Gate opened, my husband went there to accompany a group of cultivators as his work as a guide. But, something happened." Her smile faded. "My husband didn\'t return. I thought he… died. But – " she took a deep breath. " – I found him selling some trinkets. I was very happy to find him. But, he… I found out he lost his memories." Her tears fell. "I am with sickness. I and my child rely on his father to live. But, what should we do? His father doesn\'t remember us anymore…" she shook her head and sobbed. 

Lei Qing, as a woman, felt pity to her. Li Tian also sympathizes with her. 

Meanwhile, Feng Mo frowned. "Could it be, he is just faking his amnesia?" he asked. 

The woman shook her head. "He isn\'t. I know him." she answered. "He truly lost his memories. Even if he is faking it, but he didn\'t have a new woman, nor he had any vices." She explained. "He… just returned to himself when we haven\'t met each other. He\'s so unfortunate…" she cried. 

"Madam, you\'re also unfortunate, ai…" Feng Mo said and sighed. 

The woman just sadly smiled. "I have lived long enough. I met my husband, and even have a child. This is enough for me." She said and caressed her child\'s sleeping face. "Meanwhile, this child, although may grow up and suffer many difficulties, but he has a long life ahead of him. It\'s my husband… he…" she lowered her head and shed a tear. 

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples looked at each other. "How may we help you?" Lei Qing asked. 

"I won\'t ask you to take him with you." The woman said. 

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples fell silent. They felt a complicated feeling. They really wanted to take the child with them, but considering their battle with Wu Ran just ahead of them…

The woman smiled, understanding the three\'s dilemma. "This child is very wary of strangers." She said, helping them with an excuse. 

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples, who usually have a thick face after they adapted their dead fourth disciple Cheng Sheng\'s shameless attitude, felt ashamed. 

"Please, take him to the old man in the Fuyun Shop." She said. "He is kind, but was not blessed with descendants. He will definitely take my son in." she told them. 

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples nodded. "Yes, we definitely will!" they answered, their voice firm. They cupped their fist and bowed at her, promising her. 

"Then, I\'ll thank you in advance." She said, then looked at her sleeping son before she smiled. Her tears silently fell on her face. She leaned her head to kiss her son. Then, her head never raised again. 

She was gone. 

The Xinfaxian Sect disciples heaved a sigh when they felt their chest felt heavy. Lei Qing wiped her face before she silently took the child from his mother\'s embrace that has lost its warmth after she lost her life.

"Li-shixiong…" Feng Mo called, reminding Li Tian that they have to leave. 

Li Tian stared at the woman for a long time. "I don\'t remember my father. Neither my mother, nor do I have any siblings." He said. "But, I know that it is better to live in poverty, as long as you have a family, than to live in riches, but you don\'t even have someone with you." He lowered his head before he cupped his fist towards the woman leaning on the wall. 

Feng Mo\'s eyes reddened and became hot as he looked at Li Tian. Then, he turned and also bowed to the woman. Feng Mo is the total opposite of Li Tian. Feng Mo was born in a wealthy family, and as the only child, he never suffered any grievances. When he grew up, he met Wu Bai, and then they fell in love with each other. 

In short, he is very fortunate in life. But, he chose to walk in this hard path of cultivation. It\'s not that he is dissatisfied with his rich life. He loves his family. He also loves Wu Bai. And because of it, his family understood his choice. Wu Bai also supported him with his choice, despite Feng Mo\'s life, in this world of cultivation, will be unknown. 

Why did Feng Mo choose to be a cultivator, rather than stay as a young master and then marry his tutor Wu Bai after? It\'s because Feng Mo has experienced a very fulfilling life, and he wants to share it with others. Thus, he became a cultivator to help the others who are suffering, and help them ease their suffering. 

To be kind to others is to be kind to yourself.
