Chapter 159: Something's Wrong With Shen Qiu!

Shen Qiu saw this exchange, and his face darkened. He lowered his head to hide the emotion in his eyes, determining to himself that he would get his master back! And the only thing that would help him was killing Chang Hong!

That sh*tty senior of his! He wanted to curse that guy! If not for him, Shen Qiu would have gotten laid with his master already!

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

What if he would force his senior martial brother to get stranded inside the secret realm? With fifty years at hand, Shen Qiu would seduce his master and force him to break the dual cultivation partnership with his senior martial brother!

While this junior martial brother was scheming in his heart, both Zhao Jiayi and Hou Huiqing, who was also standing beside Shen Qiu, couldn't help but shake their heads.

They had seen how their master would glance at Chang Hong, and they were sure that Master Feng was actually flirting with their senior brother. They couldn't help but facepalm themselves.

How did they not realize that their simply-looking cold master actually had a mischievous bone in his body?!

Soon after the announcements and meditation session was done, the disciples were dispersed, and before Tyler could turn around, the male lead grabbed his wrist and said to the sect master, "I'll be in a closed-door cultivation with Chang Hong."

His voice wasn't low, and not many people knew that they were already dual cultivators. It was basically close to getting married. Even though many people had walked away, a few of the disciples were still here, including the female lead, Cheng Xiu.

When she heard this, she gasped in surprise and covered her mouth with her palms.

What did she just hear?! Closed-door cultivation with the eldest disciple?!

Then didn't it mean that Elder Feng and his first disciple were already dual cultivation partners? This news was bombastic! She wanted to rush and tell everyone about this, but she also didn't desire to go away and lose the chance of eavesdropping on these people.

Finally, her desire to eavesdrop won and she hid behind the pillar, craning her neck to hear clearly.

"Why? You just came out." The sect master was displeased. He didn't want his junior martial brother to shut himself in again for another two years. Who would help him handle the sect matters?

Feng Chao knew what this man was thinking. So he calmly explained. "Chang Hong's condition is still not stable. But if we want him to enter the secret realm, it is necessary to get rid of the Qi Deviation once and for all. So if I help him for another two years, it'd stabilize his mental and spiritual condition, and no one would be able to defeat him!"

After hearing his words, everyone had only one thought: this master was getting more and more shameless. He even used Qi Deviation as an excuse to perform dual cultivation activities!

Cheng Xiu, who was hiding behind the pillar, couldn't help but giggle at this. Ah, this Elder Feng was so naughty. Chang Hong was fortunate to have such a master!

Kong Bao nodded and asked, "One last thing. Do you want to announce that you and your eldest disciple are dual cultivation partners?"

The female lead covered her mouth and suppressed her desire to squeal in happiness. Her deduction was absolutely on the spot! They were partners, after all!

"Of course!"

"Absolutely not."

Both Elder Feng and Chang Hong said at the same time, and after that, they exchanged glances. The latter quickly averted his eyes and lowered his head.

The sect master looked at them awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll announce, but after you, both are gone for the closed-door cultivation, okay?"

Tyler glanced at his lover and didn't say anything. The reason why he didn't want to announce such a thing now was that he didn't need unnecessary trouble. They were already partners. What was the point of declaring his private life to the world?

He was happy with himself and his lover in their little bubble.

Meanwhile, the female lead was giddy with happiness. She just got to hear so much sweet stuff! She would tell these things to her seniors! 

Just as she was thinking about this, her glance darted toward the person who was standing at the corner of the pavilion with a darkened face, glaring at Chang Hong furiously. If a gaze could kill, Tyler would've already died a million times!

Cheng Xiu suddenly felt like there was something wrong with this person. Although Shen Qiu Seemed timid most of the time, he had a hidden layer of darkness that made everyone shiver if it ever surfaced on his expressions.

And right now, that darkness seemed to leak out, making his face especially scary. Even the female lead shivered and decided to walk out of this pavilion.

She walked away, and after a while, everyone dispersed from the pavilion. While going back, the male lead and Tyler exchanged glances and fastened their paces.

They had noticed Shen Qiu's unnatural expression, and they just realized something.

When they finally reached Chang Hong's resident, the male lead closed and door and used a hand seal to create a personal boundary around them so no one could eavesdrop.

Then he turned to Tyler and said, "Shen Qiu is a demonic cultivator, isn't he?"

The latter nodded and frowned. "It suddenly makes sense why he would be the spy, but I still think there's something fishy about everything. How did the original Chang Hong get stranded inside the secret realm? The system had kept its mouth shut about it."

"I have a hunch." The male lead paused and glanced at Tyler solemnly. "Maybe it was because of Shen Qiu."

"In the original world, he should have been jealous of the female lead, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stole the male lead away. Then why would Chang Hong get stuck instead of her?" Feng Chao's brows furrowed. "According to our deduction, Shen Qiu should be the one who would have acted like he was unconscious, but he would order his demonic cultivator friends to carry on their mission and lock the female lead inside the realm. But why did it change to Chang Hong?"

"Maybe because Shen Qiu knew that Chang Hong also loved the male lead, and he wanted to deal with his senior martial brother first and then handle the female lead. After all, Cheng Xiu wasn't a threat to him currently." In the storyline, the male lead didn't fall for the female so soon, especially not during the first few years.

Master Feng nodded but frowned again. "Now that we have changed the course of events, what would happen?" He paused, but before Tyler could say anything, he opened his mouth. "I think Shen Qiu had never planned to accuse Chang Hong of being a demonic cultivator at first. But when the female lead and the male lead got closer and closer, he made a critical decision to use Chang Hong and made his senior martial brother his puppet."

"So the original villain should be Shen Qiu, not Chang Hong." Tyler silently said, sympathizing with the original owner of this body. Just as he was busy thinking about this, he felt the male lead flicking on his forehead. He rubbed that area and tilted his head.

"Don't think about it anymore. Remember, if anything happens, I will take you away. We don't have to follow the arcs anyway."

Now Tyler really wanted to know what would happen after two years in the secret realm.
