The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 842 - 348: Trusting the Inheritance

Regaining freedom was what Hu Yuling desired most after becoming Lin Yun’s female servant.

But so much time had passed, Hu Yuling no longer cared about that, yet Lin Yun so easily granted her freedom, which made her feel at a loss instead.

"Master..."

Now free from the Blood Curse, Hu Yuling had become accustomed to servitude.

"May I continue to stay by your side?"

Hu Yuling, holding two drops of golden blood, was at a loss.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "You can go wherever you want, in any case, you’re free now."

Hu Yuling: "..."

Freedom, such a heartbreaking word, but it seems Lin Yun did not reject her, which was good news.

"I understand."

Hu Yuling shyly looked at Lin Yun, her eyes conveying a clear hint.

Lin Yun sighed inwardly. The reason he removed the Blood Curse from Hu Yuling and Wu Xin was to not involve them.

According to the Blood Curse that binds life and death, should he die today, neither Hu Yuling nor Wu Xin would survive. As for Hu Yuling’s reluctance to part, Lin Yun could only smile.

His time was running short, and there was no more time for pleasantries with Hu Yuling.

Regrettably, Xiao Qing also wasn’t awake at this time. Lin Yun had wanted to speak a few words to her. Seeing no sign of Xiao Qing awakening, he decided to take out paper and pen to write down his thoughts.

"When Xiao Qing wakes up, please give her this letter!"

As a Spirit Pet who had been with him from the very beginning and for the longest time, Lin Yun deeply regretted that he couldn’t see Xiao Qing one last time.

But perhaps this was fate, and Lin Yun could only do what was within his power.

Hu Yuling finally sensed something was wrong. First, Lin Yun restored her freedom, then he wrote a letter to Xiao Qing—clearly, this was a sign of parting.

"Master, you..."

"Shh, no need to say more, I’m just going on a journey far away."

Lin Yun smiled calmly, and then remembered he still had several Divine Artifacts that he hadn’t accounted for, which he might as well leave behind.

The Thunderclap Sword and Qiaobian could stay with their original owners, and the Demon Summoning Well too. It held a lot of treasures.

However, neither Lin Yu nor the Snow Maiden were at Purple Cloud Mountain at the moment, so Lin Yun thought of Zhao Lingyu.

"I haven’t said goodbye to her yet."

In Lin Yun’s schedule, there was no time allocated to Zhao Lingyu. Although he knew Zhao Lingyu lusted after his body, there was no substantial breakthrough in their relationship, so Lin Yun didn’t reserve any time for her.

Now, going to bid farewell as friends, and to temporarily trust her with some things, seemed quite appropriate.

With this in mind, Lin Yun took all his possessions to the grand hall on Purple Cloud Mountain.

Zhao Lingyu was currently distracted while reviewing official documents. It was a time of many crises, suppressing calamities, rescuing victims, and allocating relief supplies—all these tasks ultimately fell to her.

Being an Emperor is really not so easy.

Due to the heavy workload, Zhao Lingyu’s Cultivation Level was quite weak, with no time for cultivation. Luckily, she wielded the Nine States Cauldron, so her actual combat strength was not weak, and she was not someone who could be easily bullied by anyone.

Lin Yun’s sudden appearance in the grand hall was both a pleasant and unexpected surprise for her.

"Long time no see, you’ve become an Empress, quite impressive."

"Lin Yun, why are you here?"

Zhao Lingyu put down what she was holding, wanting to greet Lin Yun happily, but considering she was the Emperor and needed to maintain some dignity, she walked towards Lin Yun with a relatively reserved gait.

"I’ve come to bid you farewell. There are things I must take care of and need to go far away."

"I see..."

Zhao Lingyu suddenly felt a bit of loss in her heart; so this was a farewell.

But thinking that Lin Yun had especially come to say goodbye, her mood brightened considerably.

At least Lin Yun had come to her specifically.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Lingyu slowly walked up to Lin Yun, maintaining a distance of two to three meters.

This was the distance she wanted to keep as a way to draw close yet remain reserved.

If only Lin Yun would break this boundary by himself.

Zhao Lingyu was also looking for an opportunity.

Lin Yun spoke up, "I can’t tell you where I’m going, but before I leave, there are a few things I hope you can keep for me."

As he said this, Lin Yun took out Qiaobian and the Thunderclap Sword.

Both Divine Artifacts had a spirit, and knowing that Lin Yun was about to leave them behind, they quivered uncontrollably.

Lin Yun could only soothe them, "Don’t be sad, I will definitely come back for you."

Zhao Lingyu was filled with envy.

Lin Yun was gentler to his weapons than to her.

"When will you be able to come back?"

Zhao Lingyu still asked a question that was somewhat presumptuous. Lin Yun shook his head and said, "I don’t know how long it will take; anyway, keep these things for now. If Lin Yu and the Snow Maiden come back, you can also let them use it temporarily."

To disguise the situation, Lin Yun intentionally used the word "temporarily."

Zhao Lingyu thought about the fact that Lin Yun had come to her only for the task of custodian, and her heart was filled with unwillingness.

Would Lin Yun really have a date of return this time? If she didn’t seize the opportunity now, she was afraid she would miss it forever.

"What about me?"

"What do you want?"

Lin Yun then took out the Demon Summoning Well.

As a storage fee, Lin Yun didn’t mind giving Zhao Lingyu some benefits.

"I want you."

Zhao Lingyu could no longer maintain her reserve, she stepped forward a few steps, disregarding the proper manners, and hugged Lin Yun tightly.

"Why do you torment yourself like this?"

Lin Yun sighed, "I believe with your intelligence, you should have realized it by now."

"Mhm."

Lin Yun didn’t say what she should have realized, but Zhao Lingyu understood instantly and still admitted it.

"So, I can’t give you anything."

Lin Yun spread his hands, trying not to make Zhao Lingyu feel too sad, he spoke as if he were taking it lightly: "Actually, you can still let go now; at least, you won’t lose much and can withdraw in time."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lingyu hugged Lin Yun even tighter.

"Perhaps, I should have turned and left the first time I saw you. Only at that time could I truly have withdrawn."

Zhao Lingyu said in distress, "I’ve fallen in deep already; telling me now that I should have backed off earlier - I can’t do it..."

Lin Yun: "..."

He was truly a heavy sinner.

"Now that things have come to this, regret is useless. You should buck up and face your future properly!"

Lin Yun could only console Zhao Lingyu, but Zhao Lingyu had already made up her mind.

"I do not regret falling in love with you. As long as you love me too, even if for just a moment, I will be happy for a lifetime because of that moment."

Lin Yun: "..."

He wanted to say that he had never liked her, to make Zhao Lingyu give up.

But given what Zhao Lingyu had said, saying that would be far too cruel.

"Pretend that I did love you, but now, I have to go..."
