The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 89: They All Thought I was One of Them
Lin Yun arrived in this world with a sense of unease.
Having just transmigrated, he found himself in the lair of the villains, and his life was constantly in danger. The only reason he could appear calm was due to his strong inner fortitude.
He knew what to do and how to behave to survive.
But his heart couldn’t help feeling empty, and loneliness in a foreign land was inevitable.
This world was very cold, and only the soft and fragrant body of Dongfang Hongyue had any warmth.
Now, with new ties formed with Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yun felt much more at ease.
Feeling cheerful, Lin Yun played with the Linglong Heart Disc for a while.
Flower Fairy: "..."
Meanwhile, Lin Yun was still en route up the mountain when the Azure Dragon Gu Worm in his dantian suddenly reacted.
This was the signal that Green Lotus was about to awaken.
Once Lin Yun allowed the Azure Dragon Gu Worm to connect, Green Lotus’s voice came through.
"Have you arrived at Purple Cloud Mountain?"
"Yes, I have."
"I’ve received a message, someone is planning to kill you."
Lin Yun: "..."
You wouldn’t believe it, but I was present when you plotted with that person.
"What should I do then?"
Feigning fear, Lin Yun asked, while Green Lotus calmly said, "No need to panic. Since you are working for me, as your master, I will surely protect you."
I trust you like a ghost; you old man are terribly sneaky.
"Thank you, master."
Lin Yun started to scheme inwardly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
He had been waiting for Green Lotus’s call these past few days. Logically speaking, Green Lotus should have already received the message. Lin Yun initially wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength didn’t allow it.
To have seized the Divine Spirit Relic with the Saintess of Guanghan Palace, and then to have the Demon Sect and the Righteous Path both vying for it—not to mention that the big shot of the Demon Sect was Green Lotus’s boss.
Could Green Lotus remain indifferent?
Yet he had not received any news at all.
Lin Yun didn’t know Green Lotus’s stance towards him. If Green Lotus really had ulterior motives, Lin Yun might have to switch sides prematurely.
If Green Lotus didn’t plan on making a move on him, then acting as a superficial insider traitor and getting an undercover subsidy was also an option.
"May I ask master, who wants to kill me?"
Lin Yun asked cautiously.
"Shenxiao Sect, Zhang Xiuya."
Without hesitation, Green Lotus sold out Zhang Xiuya.
Zhang Xiuya was a valuable chess piece for Green Lotus, the highest-ranking one he had placed among the Righteous Path. However, now that he had Lin Yun, Zhang Xiuya had become tasteless, something regrettable to discard.
What Zhang Xiuya could do, Lin Yun could as well, and even the things Zhang Xiuya couldn’t do, Lin Yun could still manage.
Moreover, Lin Yun was much more loyal than Zhang Xiuya.
Even if he wasn’t loyal, he still had the Azure Dragon Gu Worm inside him!
Therefore, Green Lotus had no suspicion towards Lin Yun. When Zhang Xiuya proposed killing Lin Yun, he was already considering how to make Zhang Xiuya play his final role.
After much deliberation, he finally came up with an ingenious idea.
That was to betray Zhang Xiuya and let Lin Yun take the credit. In this way, Lin Yun could gain the trust of the Shenxiao Sect and obtain their resources for support, enabling Lin Yun to rise high in the Righteous Path.
Perfect.
"Him? Then what should I do?"
Lin Yun silently mourned for Zhang Xiuya for three seconds.
Without a doubt, in Green Lotus’s heart, he was the more important chess piece, and to protect him, Zhang Xiuya had to be sacrificed, especially since Zhang Xiuya harbored lethal intentions against him.
Green Lotus couldn’t possibly tell Zhang Xiuya that he was one of his own people, so the only option was to eliminate Zhang Xiuya.
"You just need to go tell the Shenxiao Sect Leader, Zhang Xiuya... ow, my..."
Green Lotus had disconnected.
Ah, this...
Could it be that my Little Yue’er has arrived just like that?
With such an unexpected approach, Dongfang Hongyue probably didn’t go easy on her.
About half an hour later, Lin Yun was still strolling leisurely up the mountain when Green Lotus finally reconnected.
"Master, what happened just now?"
"Nothing much, just listen carefully..."
Green Lotus repeated the secret of the Thunderclap Sword to Lin Yun before hastily ending the communication.
Yet in her heart, she was grinding her teeth.
Dongfang Hongyue had come to beat her up just to tell her that Lin Yun was her man.
Green Lotus was angry but also secretly pleased.
You think Lin Yun is your man?
Ha, wishful thinking, he is my man!
As pleased as she was, she still got beaten up, and it wasn’t something she could tell Lin Yun about, so she had to bluff her way through it.
Lin Yun: I’ll just pretend I know nothing.
When Lin Yun returned to the mountain, the sun was already beginning to tilt westward.
The Mountain Guardian Disciples recognized Lin Yun, and seeing him, they made faces and said, "Brother Lin is back?"
Lin Yun: "..."
What’s with this obvious ’I have something to tell you, come and ask me’ look?
"Er, I lingered a bit at the foot of the mountain."
"You came back just in time. If you had returned a moment earlier, you would have run into the Saintess of Guanghan Palace."
The ambiguous story between Lin Yun and the Flower Fairy had spread far and wide. It might not be so popular in other places, but Shenxiao Sect was different, being the sect that successfully brought Lin Yun back. Three days were enough for most people to know about Lin Yun’s affairs.
So Lin Yun was somewhat of a celebrity. If it weren’t for Fang Yu’s orders not to disturb Lin Yun, the younger generation of disciples would have long wished to come and learn from him.
Even though the Flower Fairy had denied any romantic involvement with Lin Yun on that day, the melon-eating masses didn’t care at all.
The gossip went that the Flower Fairy had said her heart was stolen by Lin Yun, and her denial was probably because she was afraid of Jiang Chenyu.
These days, which disciple isn’t afraid of their master?
"She came too?"
Lin Yun felt somewhat happy when he heard that the Flower Fairy had come.
Seeing this, the Mountain Guardian Disciple chuckled, "Yes, and as soon as she arrived, she was inquiring about your whereabouts. It seems like she’s quite eager."
Indeed, very eager, eager to punch Lin Yun to death, that kind of eager.
"Brother, you’ve got to teach me your skills sometime. But for today, you should hurry to Purple Cloud Cave. All the guests have gone there now, and once the celebration starts, you won’t have a chance to talk to the Flower Fairy."
"Thanks for the heads-up, Brother."
Lin Yun bowed in thanks, but inside he was snarking.
My charm is one part skill, seven parts acting, and the other ninety percent is because of handsomeness.
You might learn my ten percent, but you’ll never get the ninety percent!
But saying that might invite a beating, so Lin Yun didn’t let it get to his head.
Just as Lin Yun was about to leave, suddenly he heard a clear cry. A trail of fire streaked from the west, and upon closer inspection, it was a giant bird.
It was a red peacock with exceptionally gorgeous feathers, looking as if they were ablaze.
A peacock is just a luxury version of a chicken, and a special one at that, ridden only by the extremely rich and noble.
At this moment, however, Lin Yun suddenly thought of Dongfang Hongyue.
As a Demon Lord, yet without a respectable mount. Though she herself could fly fast, she still lacked a bit of grandeur.
Maybe I should get a peacock too?
