Secrets Hidden Within The Bamboo Forest

🎍Three🎍

"You can tell me.. Where.. Is he?" His lips felt dry as he felt his blood slowly turn cold.
Yue Qingyuan sighed reluctantly "Haven't you always locked him in the woodshed after stringing him up and beating him?"
That's it.. Shen Qingqiu fucking lost it.

He passed out..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shen Yuan, now known as "Shen Qingqiu" due to the whole transmigration bullshit, paced around what he could only assume was one part of his little hut he lived in. Could it be considered a hut? Little home? It was in a forest of bamboo so could it be considered a Cottage?
Maybe he'll call it a Cottage just to spite the original flavor.
ANYWAY-
Now that he's here... There's a number of things he could do with the current information that he has on where he might be in the book "Proud Immortal Demon Way".
Once is that he just run away.... Yes, run.
But that was and is a highly unlikely scenario so he'll have to ditch it.
Second is that he could maybe just start being nice, but he'll have to ease it in that he isn't going to be a complete jackass to the white lotus. If he did that, he might startle the poor thing from going to someone who probably wants him dead to a caring and doting teacher.
He might just kill the protagonist right then and there if he did that.
So.. In order to avoid suspicion is to maybe ease being nice. Slowly be less and less rude and start acting kinder. But he'll need more detail on where the fuck he is in the book than what Yue Qingyuan said.
Well, what's a better way to find out then seeing the male protagonist himself? Depending on his condition will Shen Qingqiu know exactly where his stupid ass is. After ensuring that he looks appropriate as a peak lord, did he walk out of his cottage and call out.
"Ming Fan!" He shouted.
He waited a bit before a youth ran up. He stopped at least six to seven feet in front of Shen Qingqiu who held the hand fan in front of the lower part of his face, showing only his eyes as he looked down on the youth to study his features.
The disciple, Ming Fan, bowed respectfully a way a disciple would to their master with their hands cupped.
"This disciple has arrived! What instructions does Shizun have?" He asked, voice respectful and eager.
Shen Qingqiu looked at him for a moment longer. His appearance and posture was respectable enough, surely a smart young lad with promising talent if he trained properly enough. Such a pity he goes fucking dumb whenever the protagonist is around. But alas, he mentally sighed.
If Yue Qingyuans death was horrific, Shen Qingqiu would honestly take his place more than the death Ming Fan would have in the future.
According to "Proud Immortal Demon Way", Yue Qingyuan dies at the hands of Shen Qingqiu by hundreds and thousands of either swords or arrows to the point that not even bones remain. But Ming Fan here? He dies at the hands of the Protagonist himself, he was tossed into an ant pit and was bitten to death by thousands upon thousands of ants.
Shen Qingqiu sighed in remorse for yet another victim of Luo Binghe's blackening. Honestly, if Ming Fan was nicer, he perhaps would've survived, or gotten a death less cruel than an ant pit.
"Shizun?" Ming Fan asked, snapping Shen Qingqiu out of his train of thoughts.
Shen Qingqiu blinked a few times before speaking himself, "Bring Binghe here" Shen Qingqiu said, perfectly in line with the original flavor, cold and emotionless, unamused but stern.
Ming Fan was speechless. Shen Qingqiu didn't know why until he figured that perhaps whenever the topic of Binghe was brought up, the original flavor called him many colorful names. Using his name was probably a rare occurrence. Well, Shen Qingqiu wasn't about to insult the poor boy.
Shen Qingqiu raised a brow "Am I talking to myself? Bring Binghe here" Shen Qingqiu said.
Ming Fan flinched "Yes Shizun! On my way Shizun!" He said before running off.
Shen Qingqiu sighed as he watched Ming Fan's retreating back, and mentally apologized for speaking rudely, but he needed to do what he outta.
