Chapter 148: The Unreliable System!

After weeks of stalking his junior martial brother, Tyler could finally figure out that this person, Shen Qiu, had hidden feelings for the male lead, but that guy was too introverted and dumb. In this world, it was pretty common for the masters to choose anyone suitable and compatible enough as a dual companion so that they could rise and reach the immortal ascension level faster. And Shen Qiu had his eyes on his master for a long time, but he was just too timid and shy to say another word.

So that guy just pretended nothing happened and continued to act as a good disciple. Even Tyler thought that Shen Qiu was probably a good person and shouldn't force this guy to such a terrible end. After all, the pathway of the villain was too bitter.

After deliberating for another week, Tyler finally decided against it when his heart softened and stopped stalking his junior.

But what he didn't know was that his lover was already keeping an eye on his activities, and when Feng Chao noticed that this eldest disciple wasn't focusing on Shen Qiu anymore, he frowned. It wasn't like the male lead didn't know what this person was doing, but he wanted to see the reason behind it.

For some reason, he felt like Tyler wanted to exchange his villain's role with someone else. But now, when he saw his eldest disciple leaving Shen Qiu behind, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Was he wrong at identifying Tyler after all? Maybe he should just keep an eye on all of his disciples. It wasn't like they were going to this secret realm anytime soon. They would have to wait a year before that secret realm arc could happen.

But if his eldest disciple wasn't Tyler, who could explain why this person acted out of character?

So both sides had different thoughts in their heads when it was time for the first arc to happen. They were going to have a yearly competition between disciples of various sects, and the winner's name would be spread to all eight directions and become famed.

In this world, becoming famous as a world-renowned cultivator was something every young disciple dreamt of. But there was also a question of fairness. So the eligibility was that the disciples only at the core formation stage would participate.

That meant Tyler couldn't take part in this competition. Still, his master had ordered Shen Qiu to participate in this competition, and the male lead had even held expectations from his disciple. So Tyler felt satisfied seeing that his lover wasn't doing anything to disrupt the arcs, but he also felt empty at the same time because his lover wasn't approaching him like in the previous worlds.

Why was his heart so contradicting?!

So after weeks of coming into this world, the male lead finally decided to show Tyler and other disciples his face. That morning after the classes, Feng Chao didn't order his disciples to go and practice and meditate. Instead, he called all of his disciples in his pavilion.

Everyone slowly gathered, and Tyler finally had a chance at observing the rest of his junior martial brothers. One of them was standing lazily at one corner wearing light green robes while another was wearing dark blue clothes, looking like a strict teacher with his back erect.

Tyler had already met Shen Qiu, standing timidly at one corner of the room, secretly glancing at the male lead now and then. Seeing this, Tyler felt displeased, and he couldn't help but glare at that guy.

Even though his junior martial brother was pitiful, that didn't mean that this person could stare at his lover like that!

Feng Chao, who was observing such an expression on his eldest disciple's face, couldn't help but cough. For some reason, he could tell what was going on in this person's head, and the male lead secretly deduced in his heart that perhaps the relationship between him and Tyler must be good. "As you all know, the yearly disciples' competition would be held after a month."

"Master, are you sending Shen Qiu?!" One of the young boys exclaimed in surprise as if he couldn't believe what his master was saying.

"Zhao Jiayi, why do you always have to go against our master every time he makes a decision?" Fang Guozhi, who was also one of the disciples, said in a displeased tone.

But Zhao Jiayi was too lazy to reply, and he intently focused on the male lead.

If someone new heard this kind of conservation, they wouldn't know what these disciples were talking about and why they were surprised to see that their master had decided to send Shen Qiu to the competition. So it was normal for Tyler to be confused as well.

But the male lead being master, knew exactly why these disciples were talking like that. It was merely because Shen Qiu wasn't good at fighting even though he was a cultivator and quickly achieved the core formation stage. It was because Shen Qiu had three spiritual roots running in his veins. And usually, it was always difficult for someone with such a constitution to rise to the core formation level so fast.

Fortunately, Shen Qiu didn't seem to suffer because of this and was able to rise quickly. But there was a problem. Shen Qiu's fighting skills were zero. No matter what type of spiritual weapons were given to him, not one was compatible with him. So he could only use standard weapons to learn how to fight. Even Feng Chao was worried about this disciple of his.

The only good thing was that Shen Qiu was good at Alchemy. So the male lead had searched for all the learning materials that should be necessary for teaching his disciple, who also seemed to be a genius in this area.

And now, when Feng Chao said that he would send Shen Qiu to the competition, everyone was surprised. Even the latter, who was also staring at his master, widened his eyes, not believing what had just happened.

After seeing this scene, Tyler couldn't help but curse his stupid system in his heart. That system of his again ended up being unreliable. Just why did it not provide information about Shen Qiu?! Tyler now had to deduce things on his own, and even though almost 90% of his deductions was probably correct, that still didn't mean that the system could be unfair to him like this!
