Chapter 147: The Smiling Master!

"What're you doing?" Tyler frowned and walked over.

At that voice, Shen Qiu jerked and fell flat on his butt, completely startled at being caught. His lips parted and closed as if he couldn't figure out what to say. Finally, he chuckled awkwardly and said, "I was chopping the grass."

"Oh really?" Tyler's gaze turned cold at that as he continued to stare at this person standing before his eyes. 

The man nodded instantly as if this was the only truth, and the rest of the thing that Tyler had seen was merely his imagination. The latter couldn't help but shake his head and glared at this man in white robes. "Don't you have anything else to do?"

Shen Qiu stiffened and nodded, sprinting off in another direction. Only then did Tyler relax, and he went toward his own room.

This entire peak belonged to the male lead, Feng Chao, and was famous as Feng Peak worldwide. And at this moment, this person was staring outside at Tyler and Shen Qiu with squinted eyes. When the two of the disciples dispersed, only then this master went inside. No one could tell what this guy was thinking about.

At first, Tyler didn't figure out why Shen Qiu was standing there behind the bushes. Still, after walking away and sitting on his bed surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere, he figured out that there might be something fishy about that guy. Was that man trying to see his lover who still hadn't come before him?

Tyler frowned and decided to stalk this person named Shen Qiu. According to the system, this person was only a hundred years old but looked still young since he had been at the last stage of the core formation. And Tyler himself was at the early nascent soul level. So there was a two-level difference between the two of them. One was the peak level of core formation, and another was the early stage of nascent soul.

But that was it. Tyler found nothing extra in the information provided to him. So he could only bite the bullet and assume that maybe Shen Qiu had feelings for his master. If that were the case, then he had found a perfect candidate for replacing him as a villain.

But another matter worried him. Since the real villain's identity wasn't mentioned, and since the male lead's emotions were also locked, he could tell that it would be difficult for the male lead to find Tyler. So if Shen Qiu would be the one stranded in the secret realm, would Feng Chao consider that person to be Tyler?

Even thinking about it made Tyler feel a bitter taste in his mouth. But he didn't have any choice. It was better for the male lead to misunderstand than to see him getting together with the female lead, even if it was for the sake of the arc. Tyler would absolutely not agree to anything like that. It wouldn't matter if his senior could identify him or not.

In any case, the villain was supposed to die anyway. So Shen Qiu would die a tragic death, and his lover would be saved from falling in the hands of either the female lead or the fake villain. And after dealing with the storyline, Tyler would slowly reveal his identity to his senior, and they could live for years in this world too.

At this time, Tyler thought that his plan was perfect. What he didn't know was that he was already under suspicion of the male lead. Even though Feng Chao didn't feel anything upon seeing his lover, he thought that the characterization given by the system and the personality of real Chang Hong didn't match at all.

So he was already eying this person back when Tyler was shooing Shen Qiu away.

But since Tyler didn't know this, he only had one goal in his mind: stalking Shen Qiu.

He rushed out of his house and directly went in the direction where his junior martial brother went. At this time, Shen Qiu had just entered his home, located on the East side of the Feng peak. He wiped the cold sweat off of his forehead and sighed. Thankfully, his senior martial brother didn't suspect anything, or else he was doomed today.

He swiftly opened a jade slip and started jotting down words with his peacock feather and ink. This was the scene that Tyler observed when he sneaked inside Shen Qui's house and frowned.

Did he misunderstand this guy's feelings? He thought that this man would be upset or at least have some feelings displaying on his face. But his junior brother was only studying when he came back.

Tyler frowned and continued watching.

Just then, Feng Chao knocked on the door, making Tyler frozen on the spot. The latter was actually hiding behind the window, watching the entire scene, and he didn't even hear his lover walking over. What technique did this person use to walk in such an elegant manner that not even the sound of footsteps was heard?! Did Feng Chao walk in the air?

"Master?" Shen Qiu opened the door and was surprised. His mouth was wide open for a moment before he could finally wake up from his trance and realize that the person he admired was really standing before his eyes. Then he cupped his hand and said, "Master, please guide this disciple. If there's anything I could do, please tell me."

Feng Chao, who still looked like he was a twenty-year-old guy, frowned. His tanned skin tone shone brightly in the sunlight, but he didn't look happy. Again, he frowned, and after a minute of staring at this disciple of his, he walked away without saying a word.

Shen Qiu tilted his head and closed the door. He didn't understand what his master was doing, but Tyler knew why this person was here. His master was here to see whether Shen Qiu was Tyler or not.

When he thought about this, Tyler couldn't help but purse his lips. It seemed he really deduced it correctly earlier.

But what he didn't know was that Feng Chao, who was supposed to walk back to his pavilion, was currently hiding behind a tree, staring intensely at the slumped shoulders of Tyler. Finally, after watching that guy for a while, a smile formed on this master's face, and he walked away.
