The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 132 Turning Wang Wanqiu
Lin Yu’s air of a superior only lasted for a few seconds before it collapsed the moment she heard Lin Yun’s blunt statement.
So this is what "calmly accepting everything with composure" is supposed to be?
Seeing her puffed up with anger, Lin Yun actually felt a sense of joy at his successful mischief.
"Believe it or not, that’s up to you. As for the rights and wrongs of this matter, I have a clear understanding in my heart. You don’t need to mention these things to Wan Qiu. She’s straightforward and impulsive and lacks your understanding of the human heart. If she acts recklessly, it won’t do her or me any good."
Lin Yu’s assessment of Wang Wanqiu was quite fair. Wang Wanqiu was not very sophisticated and somewhat simple-minded. Although she was not stupid, she was especially easy to deceive, yet also particularly stubborn.
If she knew that her master might not have been harmed by the Demon Sect, but rather betrayed by one of her own, she would probably go directly to the Sword Sect to confront them.
But that would be tantamount to seeking death, though she probably wasn’t scared at all.
So young, yet so careless with her life.
"Don’t worry, I won’t tell her. But she can’t stay with me forever. One day, she will return to the Sword Sect. What will you do if she’s betrayed again? Can you accept that?"
Lin Yu’s expression changed slightly, and Lin Yun just smiled without saying anything, but the irony was quite obvious.
Lin Yu glared at Lin Yun with shame and anger, even though she knew he no longer remembered her. But to have her face slapped like this by him, what a dear son indeed!
"We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I’m going out to buy some vegetables, you wait here."
She needed to go out to clear her mind and adjust her emotions.
Lin Yun nodded, closed the door after her, and went straight to the backyard to find Wang Wanqiu.
As expected by Lin Yun, Wang Wanqiu was indeed sulking.
Lin Yu had probably been among mortals for too long, only worrying about Wang Wanqiu being absent, forgetting that cultivators not only have keen senses but also Divine Sense for spying, so if you’re discussing secrets without setting up a barrier Formation, you’re bound to be overheard.
Of course, Lin Yun wasn’t sure whether Wang Wanqiu would eavesdrop, but that wasn’t a big issue. If she hadn’t eavesdropped, he would just explain it to her again.
Lin Yun was very clear about Lin Yu’s thoughts.
She probably really owed a great debt of gratitude to the Sword Sect. Many disciples are actually brought up by the Sect from a young age, so the term ’master’ carries the connotation of ’as a father’.
Growing up in such an environment, it’s reasonable that despite the Sect’s mistreatment of her countless times, Lin Yu remains loyal to the Sect.
Lin Yun was different.
When it’s time for revenge, take it. There’s nothing to discuss.
Whether Lin Yu was actually betrayed by the Sect, or if it was just an accident, Lin Yun himself wasn’t sure. But when some things can’t be clearly stated, the best approach is to influence others towards the direction he desires.
What Lin Yun intended was exactly to turn Wang Wanqiu against the Sect.
Upon discovering that Wang Wanqiu was Lin Yu’s disciple and that Lin Yu seemed to have some doubts about the Sect, Lin Yun knew his opportunity had arrived.
Actually, he didn’t have much information, but that didn’t stop him from being adept at spinning stories, and making them sound plausible and reasonable.
The truth doesn’t matter. As long as Wang Wanqiu believes it, that’s his success.
"You heard our conversation just now, didn’t you?"
"What?"
Wang Wanqiu feigned ignorance.
But Lin Yun saw right through her; she was clearly questioning her life. If it were just about being rejected by her master, she would be contemplating strategies, not looking so lost and confused.
"We’ve been through life and death together. Don’t you even trust me now?"
Lin Yun sat down beside Wang Wanqiu, attempting to bridge the gap between them.
Although he had once almost killed Wang Wanqiu, since he didn’t go through with it, and even secretly signalled Hongling to kill her, but this...
He didn’t kill her in the end, did he!
Hongling is too weak, that’s why.
In any case, he and Wang Wanqiu are now good companions who’ve shared life and death experiences.
Wang Wanqiu’s defenses did ease a bit. She thought about how Lin Yun had once wanted to kill her, missed such a good opportunity, and didn’t make a move. Now with Lin Yun having the additional identity of a master’s foster son, their relationship had grown closer.
But she still felt very confused.
Initially, it was Lin Yu who took her as a disciple and taught her with care, but it was also the Sword Sect that raised her. She had many well-loved fellow disciples in the Sword Sect, and since birth, she had always regarded the Sword Sect as her home.
The people in the Sect were her family, for she had no family of her own from a young age. It was the Sword Sect that gave her support and something to rely on, so she was willing to lay down her life for the Sect.
However, a cruel truth was now laid out in front of her.
The beloved master she respected the most might have been underhandedly plotted against by the Sect. Although it was just a possibility, the minute Lin Yu learned she had reached the Heart Guarding Realm, he intended for her to leave. This indicated that over the years, Lin Yu had realized something, and perhaps even had an answer, but he simply didn’t disclose it.
This realization caused Wang Wanqiu great pain. The past enmity with the Demon Sect, which seemed so solid, now appeared somewhat laughable—her own people turned out to be the enemy.
And now, with her increased cultivation level, she too might be in danger.
All these issues rendered her mind into a chaotic mess. When Lin Yun talked to her, she didn’t know how to respond, only muttering, "I don’t know what to do."
"Do you think you still have time to be thinking about this? If you don’t prepare well, your time of death will soon arrive."
The first step of bluffing someone, exaggerate the seriousness of the situation.
Actually, even if Elder Baili was really such a coward, he wouldn’t have just killed Wang Wanqiu straight away after discovering her breakthrough to the Heart Guarding Realm.
He has a reputation to uphold!
This matter, of course, needed to be handled seamlessly, without letting others know. So in the short term, as long as Wang Wanqiu didn’t court death, she likely wouldn’t die.
But if Lin Yun didn’t put it this way, would Wang Wanqiu be anxious?
"Why would you say that?"
"Although you didn’t go up the mountain today, did you encounter anyone from the Sword Sect in the town?"
"I saw Elder Baili."
"Then what do you think he’s here for?"
Wang Wanqiu began to ponder, and Lin Yun directly delivered the answer.
"Other than coming for your master, what else could he be here for? Your master may have lost her cultivation level, but she still has her striking appearance, as well as the glory of her past. You must know how many men would have ideas about her, right?"
Wang Wanqiu fell silent, not denying this at all.
"Knowing your master’s character, do you think she would submit herself to anyone? And now, as a mere mortal, how much patience do you think her suitors will have after repeated rejections?"
"Elder Baili wouldn’t do such a thing."
Wang Wanqiu defended her fellow Sect member, but Lin Yun scoffed and said, "Then do you know that before you came, several men with magical powers clashed with your master and almost killed her?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wanqiu’s expression turned grave, and a murderous intent surged in her eyes.
"Of course, there was someone referred to as a senior brother by your master who just happened to appear at the right moment and defused the crisis."
"Elder Baili!"
"I don’t know him, but it must be him, I guess."
Lin Yun feigned uncertainty, which made Wang Wanqiu believe his words even more.
And as she gradually trusted Lin Yun, her thoughts began to move along with his...
