Different from the Plot

**********

He even tried to ask Silver to gather the original's memories from the system archive, but for some unknown reason, Silver couldn't access the original's memories and that makes him even more odd about it.

Since he didn't know what kind of person he was occupying, he asked Silver to retrieve this person's profile from the system archive and, upon checking its information, he frowns.

Because the identity of this person is a reclusive immortal master from a well-known sect from the upper realm, but for some unknown reason, he chooses to isolate himself from the world and not just that; he went down from the upper realm to the lower realm and never stepped outside of the world.

The system archive provided him with the information, which triggered the sudden issuance of a hidden plot, causing his frown to deepen when he read the contents.

********

< Hidden Main Task Unlocked #1: Uncover the mysteries of the reclusive Immortal Master Shen Haoran and his connection to the Zhang Household. >

< Hidden Sub Task #1: Take Zhang Hui Ying as your disciple and prevent her impending doom. >

********

Because of the sudden hidden plot appeared, it became more complicated than ever. This wasn't his first time either handling such arduous task in the past, but judging right now, this world is rather complicated to deal with.

There are some worldlines that he didn't do well, but he never failed in one of his world-hopping journeys; not even once.

He had already done those hidden tasks, and he couldn't believe what he had discovered about Shen Haoran. He also successfully takes Zhang Hui Ying as his disciple and had save her from her impending doom, that was written in the original plot.

In the original plot, Zhang Hui Ying is the eldest daughter from the Zhang Household, a military household and not just that, she is also engaged to the male protagonist, Xiao Zixin.

The reason for her death in the original plot is because of the heroine named Daiyu, who was a palace maid in the Imperial Palace that Xiao Zixin had met when the male protagonist became the study companion of the Crown Prince.

When he read the plot, he rolled his eyes because he had anticipated what would happen and just skimmed through it as he only took the important events that would happen, and the system prompted him to do another task at that time.

*******

< Hidden Main Task #2: Prevent the Crown Prince, Long Mingyu, from being the next Emperor of the Northern Xia Empire. >

< Hidden Main Task #3: Reveal the true face of the heroine. >

< Hidden Sub Task #2: Annulled the engagement between the female villainess Zhang Hui Ying and the male protagonist Xiao Zixin. >

********

'Wow! A face-slapping task and an engagement wrecker! Tsk! Seriously?!'

He had done the task of revealing the true face of the heroine and the engagement of both parties involved had successfully nullified because of his presence as an Immortal master and no one dared to question his decision for his disciple and Zhang Hui Ying is even more delighted that the engagement is now nullify and can now focus on her studies under his tutelage. 

As for preventing the Crown Prince from becoming the next Emperor, Shen Haoran didn't have a choice but to use the male protagonist, Xiao Zixin, to his advantage.

According to the plot, when Xiao Zixin became the Crown Prince's study companion, the male protagonist had sworn an oath of loyalty to the Crown Prince because of what the Crown Prince had said to him.

About Xiao Zixin's birth origin…

Yes, this is the classic tale of a xianxia protagonist who is not an actual son of a prominent family and had a special identity like any protagonist out there.

If the plot follows, the male protagonist would become the usual overpowered b*stard that would sweep all the realms under his palms.

However, because of his intervention as he entered this worldline, the plot had already collapsed by the time he noticed that something was a bit off.

In the original plot, there is no Shen Haoran that was mentioned, and from the reader's perspective, we can only consider him as a background character without a name.

He hadn't received the original's memories even though he had done many tasks and even discovered Shen Haoran's connection with the Zhang Household, but it never triggers the original's memories.

However, when he accidentally met the male protagonist, some images suddenly flowed through his mind like a wind that sweep through within it that gives him a headache for unknown reason.

Because of that, the system suddenly issued an emergency task right away and when he received the task, he frowns even more.

*********

< Hidden Main Task #4: Identify the male protagonist, Xiao Zixin's true identity, whether he is a native of this world or not. >

********

Now, he already uncovered those secrets, but he is just waiting for this protagonist to come at him on his own and it should be that only both of them are present because Shen Haoran believed that this male protagonist, Xiao Zixin, is also like him….

A dimensional traveler….

"Immortal Master Shen, this lowly mortal sends you some fruits and snacks on behalf of Ying'er, as she wasn't able to visit you because she was called by the family's elder since the Immortal Master took her as his disciple."

Shen Haoran raised an eyebrow at the audacity of the young man in front of him and he couldn't help but snorted mentally because he already had seen through about his schemes.

'Well, it wouldn't be the first time as well to meet a fellow dimensional traveler but most of the time, we don't have roles that would be contradictory on the tasks that we had but right now, it seems like there is an unexpected problem here…'

In the original plot, Xiao Zixin didn't want the engagement, even Zhang Hui Ying wasn't favor on this arrangement as well and because of that, they hated each other, and their attitudes would often clash with one another if given the chance they encounter one another.
