However, no one knew that there were two pairs of eyes quietly observing them in the forest. It was a middle-aged woman and an old man that couldn't be any older. Even though the middle-aged woman was already forty years old, her body was still extremely slim, and her face still retained its charm. She was Qiong Er's master, Yue Yuchun. Standing beside her was an old tree root that looked like a peony flower. However, this old tree root was definitely not an ordinary tree root, he would stand in the forest without moving, blending perfectly with the trees beside him without any movement, causing the wind to rise, swaying the branches unsteadily, and his people to sway along with him, keeping up with the same rhythm. If Long Feiyu were to see him, he would definitely be amazed, this old man's martial arts had reached the unity-stage!

This was a realm that even he himself was unable to reach!

The old man suddenly opened his mouth, sounding like an ancient tree that had been blown by the wind. ”Is he that person?”

Yue Yuchun nodded: ”That's him!”

The old man's eyes suddenly opened. ”You do have some skill indeed!”

Yue Yuchun said respectfully: ”Master Granduncle saw the depth of his martial arts?”

The old man said: ”He never made a move. I can't see the depth of his skills, but it's already very valuable for him to make these villagers show him such respect! This child's conduct is different from the others. Interesting! It looks like your disciple has already grasped the situation, there is no need for an old fellow like me to take action! ”

Yue Yuchun slowly shook his head, ”Not necessarily!”

The old man was slightly baffled. ”Why?” It seems like they are quite close, I don't believe that he can avoid the schemes of the people around him! ”

Yue Yuchun sighed, ”They already have the relationship of husband and wife!”

The old man nodded. ”I can see it too. Since there's a couple, it's even more impossible for him to hide. He would never have thought that the people around him would kill him!”

Yue Yuchun sighed: ”I believe that too, but I'm worried that Qiong Er won't be able to do it. When they were on the shore, I saw her eyes, and it seems that she wasn't willing to do it!”

The old man muttered to himself, ”The relationship between a man and a woman can be unpredictable. That is also possible!”

Yue Yuchun said slowly: ”I still have a bigger worry!”

The old man stared at her. ”What?”

Yue Yuchun slowly said: ”I'm worried that this child already knows of Qiong Er's plans, and the plan she arranged for us is in his hands!”

The old man was slightly surprised. ”Why?”

Yue Yuchun laughed bitterly: ”Although Qiong Er's plan is good, there are still too many loopholes, if it were anyone else, they might be able to hide it from me, but this person is extremely clever, it is impossible for him to hide it from me. Think about it, he could actually teleport across the Bewildering Forest, and used a curve guiding method, and it was even a temporary method.

The old man frowned: ”How can he leave the Bewildering Forest? Curved directions? This method was simply wishful thinking, and it was truly the only way, his intelligence was truly astonishing, Qiong Er's plan was definitely not able to hide from him! So powerful! It's really great, even this old one is impressed to the point of prostrating himself in front of him! ”

Yue Yuchun said: ”Master Granduncle, this person's martial arts are powerful and smart, but Qiong Er is not stupid, her Master Granduncle's martial arts are even stronger, where does he come from?”

The old man slowly said, ”I'm not talking about his martial arts, nor am I talking about his intelligence. I'm talking about his deep scheming and his unparalleled strength!”

Yue Yuchun instantly realized something, ”Yes, he clearly already saw through Qiong Er's clever plan, but to still be so close to her without revealing the slightest bit of weakness, it is truly admirable! To be able to remain so calm, there must be a plot! Not good, he was definitely waiting for Qiong Er to make a move again. When Qiong Er made his move again, he was definitely prepared for it. I have to inform her that I can't let her do it anymore! ”

The old man said indifferently: ”If he wanted to kill Qiong Er, wouldn't he have done so earlier? The reason he did this, was only to investigate the person behind Qiong Er! We might as well do what we can! ”

Yue Yuchun bowed: ”Master Granduncle has seen the best in the world, a plan must be foolproof!”

The old man smiled slightly. ”The older a person is, the lazier he becomes. Why should he strike if he can't?” Furthermore, I am unable to see the depth of this person's martial arts. Wouldn't it be a joke for Bai Yue and the others if he were to fail in his attempt after reaching the age of a hundred? ”

They had calculated that Long Feiyu's intention was only to investigate the assassination attempt on the person behind Qiong Er, but they never thought that he was just giving her a way out, to prevent her from feeling embarrassed. He did not have any intentions of scheming against her, because he did not even care about the assassination attempts of others, and the only people who hated him were the remnants of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Yue Yuchun and the old man might really be extremely shrewd, but they never thought that this man's scheme that they would so much like to admire from the bottom of their hearts would actually be revealed to them.
