Chapter 5: 5

He’s Pretending To Be A Tiger

“Hah! Nice senses.”

A confused expression appeared on the faces of the two men in black when they first heard that sentence. Then, they felt their scalps tingle, and the hairs on their body stood on end as their life flashed before their eyes.

Unable to tell where the voice was coming from, the two stood with their backs against each other as they retrieved their dadao and scanned the dark surroundings with their sharp eyes.

Soon, they spotted him.

A good-looking teenager wearing a blue coat stood in the dark with his arms behind his back, staring at them impassively.

The youngster looked completely normal, and there was not even the slightest sign of an aura about him.

He looked exceedingly ordinary as he stood there, with not even the slightest hint to suggest he had cultivated skills.

He was so ordinary, in fact, that if it were not for the fact that it was the dead of the night in this special location and there were no other people present, the two men in black would never have spared him a second look if they met elsewhere.

However, the two men in black could vaguely sense something from this young boy.

The fact that the deathly feeling of crisis came from him.

Moreover.

When had the teenager appeared behind them?

They were Precelestial Grandmasters who had not only mastered the Seventh Erudition but also carried the title of Senior Grandmaster. However, they would not have even seen the boy had he not spoken.

The two men in black made eye contact. They saw intense fear in each other’s gaze.

“This kid is so unnatural. Where do you think he’s from? Could he be an alien who holds the secret to eternal youth?”

“He can appear soundlessly beside us and make me feel like my life was in danger. Could he be the Lin family’s hidden protector?”

“A Precelestial Eighth Erudition Grandmaster? Or the Ninth?”

The two men were in a state of hypervigilance.

Their muscles tensed as their essential qi coursed through their bodies, ready to explode at any time.

“Who are you?”

One of the men asked in a low voice.

“Me?”

“I’m just an average guard at the Lin family’s book depository.”

Chu He spoke slowly, the expression on his face never changing as he answered in a calm voice.

He spoke as if these two men were not thugs with ulterior motives, but just two average strangers who were asking for directions.

“An average guard at the Lin family’s book depository?”

The corners of the leader’s mouth twitched as his expression on his face turned into one of disbelief. He thought that Chu He was treating him as an idiot.

Who the hell could explain to him how an average guard could appear behind them without their knowledge?

He must definitely be a master if he could stand so calmly with his hands behind his back after seeing the pair of them, who definitely did not look like they were up to any good based on the way they dressed.

He refused to believe that the boy was your average guard even if you beat him to death.

“Who on earth are you!”

“Are you the Lin family’s hidden protector?”

“There’s no need to spout lies when you already attained such a high level of mastery, right?”

The man in charge spat at Chu He angrily.

He thought that Chu He was pulling their legs because had nothing better to do.

“Alas!”

Chu He shook his head as he let out a great sigh.

No one believed him even if he spoke the truth. How saddening.

Even the most basic trust among people had been lost.

“I am in charge of guarding this book depository, and you are not allowed entry. I can pretend I never saw anything tonight if you leave now. After all, I’m just a guard for a book depository. I have no obligation to fight you men to the death.”

Chu He gave no further explanation after speaking those calm words.

The two men seemed to only have mastered the Precelestial Seventh Erudition.

As for him, he had already mastered the Golden Nine Turns inside out, which would put him on the same level as a master of the Precelestial Eighth Erudition.

Comparing their abilities, Chu He felt that it would be easy for him to kill these two men in black.

He could do it just like how he had appeared silently behind them just now. They would never have noticed him if he had not willingly made his presence known. If he had decided to attack earlier, the two men would already be corpses.

Chu He had not struck first because he did not want to get himself into trouble for nothing.

He was not as ruthless as the protagonists in internet novels. He had the power to kill someone who rubbed him the wrong way just by glaring at them.

However, someone would come seeking revenge after that. They would come one after another, and even though the protagonist would not get hurt, he would also be forced to kill those who came seeking revenge.

However, Chu He did not want to live a life of bloodshed and killing people from the start to the end.

It was too annoying.

What was the point of it!

He just wanted to check-in silently day after day.

Then he would leave this place to enjoy a prosperous life once he was invincible.

That was why he had simply made an appearance to warn the two men to stay away from the book depository when he saw they were making their way toward the building to lie in wait for an ambush.

He would let them go anywhere they liked after that.

They could get into trouble with anyone they wished.

So long as his book depository was not involved in it.

The two men looked at each other in evident anxiousness and doubt.

It was obvious that they were up to no good, what with the way they were dressed, and the fact that they were sneaking around in the dead of the night.

They would be beaten up if their whereabouts were exposed.

Even though they were talking, their bodies were poised at the ready to escape or engage in a bloody fight.

However, this person whom they could not get a grasp on and who seemed to be the Lin family’s hidden protector was letting them go and was willing to pretend that nothing had ever happened despite having seen them.

How were they supposed to believe that?

It would be much more plausible if the person they met was a junior who was not powerful enough and only interested in saving their neck.

However, it made no sense if the other party was one of the Lin family’s powerful ancestors.

They asked themselves if they would ever let a thief weaker than them run free if they encountered such a crook back home.

Impossible. They would bring their knife down without a second thought.

“So, could the reason be…”

“The guy isn’t a hidden protector at all. Perhaps this kid is only as old as he looks, and he’s fooling us.”

“He’s not all that powerful, but he has a special secret technique or treasure that can addle our senses and invoke feelings of uneasiness to make us feel scared.”

“Hehe~”

“He’s pretending to be a tiger!”

The two men dressed in black conversed with nothing but eye contact.

Within minutes, the two had reached a conclusion they were sure to be correct.

Then, the way they looked at Chu He started to change.

“You’re good. You nearly fooled us!”
