The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 128 The Nonexistent Birthmark
With no defenses up, I was just strolling down the street when a young mother appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing how beautiful she was, Lin Yun knew there had to be a reason for his own good looks.
But this was a problem.
As a time-traveler, Lin Yun only hoped that the original host’s relationship network would be as clean as possible. Now, with his ties to the Sword Sect severed, Lin Yun wanted to live for himself from now on.
Who would have thought that a simple walk in the city would lead to a ghostly encounter?
"I truly don’t remember you."
Lin Yun felt bewildered and somewhat helpless as he said, "While I was undercover in the Green Lotus Sect, that Demonic Cult Fiend made me learn an unnamed divine skill. One day, I lost control and went mad, and when I woke up, I could only remember that I was a disciple of the Sword Sect, undercover in the Demon Sect. Other than that, I forgot everything."
Hu Yuling observed Lin Yun’s performance and couldn’t help but silently praise him in her heart. True acting didn’t need too many expressions, gestures, or an emotional display.
Lin Yun had clearly reached the stage of returning to the original simplicity and truth. He appeared as though he was coming up with random excuses you could choose to believe or not. However, it was precisely this nonchalant attitude that made his excuse seem plausible.
On the contrary, if he had shown a lot of emotion, trying to make people believe he had amnesia, it might instead make people suspect he was acting.
Lin Yu, hearing that Lin Yun had once gone mad, asked with concern, "How are you now?"
"I’m fine now, but I really have no impression of the past. You, are you really my mother?"
Lin Yun showed some wariness towards Lin Yu, which made her even more heartbroken.
Is there anything more painful than meeting without recognition?
Taking the opportunity, Baili Shouxin interjected, "Junior sister, to prove this, just tell him who his father is, right?"
Let me know which lucky man that is, I won’t let him off if it’s true!
Your wife, I’ll take care of her!
Lin Yun: "..."
Please don’t, having one more beautiful mother is enough, just don’t bring out a real dad for me, or I’ll truly renounce all my relations.
Lin Yu shook her head and said, "This is our family matter, so there’s no need for Elder Brother to worry about it."
With that, she turned to Hu Yuling, "Elder Hu, I’d like to speak privately with Lin Yun for a moment. We hope for your understanding for any lack of hospitality."
"No trouble at all, you two talk," said Hu Yuling, understandingly.
She stood up and, pulling along Zhao Lingyu, left. Baili Shouxin was somewhat reluctant, but under Lin Yu’s icy gaze, he had no choice but to leave.
Now in the pharmacy, only Lin Yun and Lin Yu were left. Lin Yu looked at the grown-up Lin Yun, with joy and melancholy in her eyes.
She was glad that Lin Yun was alive.
When she found out the Sword Sect had sent Lin Yun as an undercover agent to the Demon Sect, she was furious, but she had reverted to being a mere mortal. She couldn’t beat even the slightly more skilled disciples of the Sword Sect, so what could she do to the Sect?
She was very disappointed in her master.
She had recommended Lin Yun to the Sword Sect because she felt her master hadn’t received the acknowledgment for his investment in her. She wanted Lin Yun to inherit her mantle. She had agreed to it wholeheartedly, but in the end, Lin Yun ended up under someone else’s tutelage and he was even sent out as an undercover agent.
Was this something humans would do?
Feeling angry yet helpless, Lin Yu had no choice but to settle down in the small town under Sword Peak, opening a pharmacy to barely make ends meet.
She didn’t know when Lin Yun would return, so all she could do was wait here.
She wondered if she would get to see Lin Yun on the day she died.
Unexpectedly, she was quite lucky; it had been just over three years, and Lin Yun had returned.
It’s just that Lin Yun now felt very unfamiliar to her, but perhaps that was a good thing.
"Actually, I’m not really your mother."
As soon as Lin Yu spoke, Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief; it was better they weren’t blood-related.
Uh, I wasn’t thinking about anything messy.
Looking at Lin Yun’s perplexed gaze, Lin Yu slowly said, "Eighteen years ago, I found you by a cliff’s edge. Perhaps it was also fate. At that time, I had lost all will to live, and it just so happened that I encountered you, who was also on the brink of death."
Lin Yu simply recounted this past event to Lin Yun.
At that time, she no longer wanted to live. More cruel than losing all her cultivation level was watching it disappear day by day, and no matter how hard she tried, using countless methods, she couldn’t resist this trend.
Eventually, she couldn’t bear the pressure anymore.
The heart of a genius is, in turn, more fragile.
It was precisely because of her suicidal thoughts that she met Lin Yun.
Back then, Lin Yun had been placed at the edge of a cliff, where a gust of wind could have blown him off.
Lin Yu was inherently kind. Although she was bent on dying, she couldn’t bear to watch a small life pass away like that.
So she saved Lin Yun and found a pregnant beast in the mountains to nurse him.
Although her cultivation level had regressed to that of a mortal, her previous realm was still there, and so was her swordsmanship; the wild beasts of the mountains were no match for her.
That’s how little Lin Yun survived by drinking beast milk.
Lin Yu thought to herself at the time that since she had saved a life, she might as well save it to the end. She carried Lin Yun to a town to see if anyone would adopt the child.
However, when it came time to let him go, she couldn’t bear to part with him.
So she found a small mountain village in which to live in seclusion, and she raised him until he was fifteen years old.
By that time, the boy was already considered grown. Lin Yu had not taught him any Taoist or martial arts techniques before, as these things were governed by rules and couldn’t be taught carelessly.
But seeing that Lin Yun had good potential, she sent him back to the Sword Sect.
She had thought that she would then have no further ties and could end her ruined life.
However, in the end, she still had some attachment and couldn’t bring herself to die. After learning that Lin Yun had gone to the Demon Sect, she was even less willing to die.
After hearing this, Lin Yun’s feelings were also very complicated.
Although she was not his birth mother, the kindness of his foster mother was immense!
Lin Yun came to this world, though not of his own volition; after all, he had taken over someone else’s body and was living in their stead.
How could he not repay such nurturing kindness?
Lin Yun sighed quietly to himself and made a decision in his heart. Lin Yu mentioned that she no longer wanted to live because her cultivation level was ruined, right? He decided to find a way to heal her as a way to repay her kindness.
Hey, wait a minute, Wang Wanqiu also mentioned she had a master whose cultivation level had been exhausted. It couldn’t be that coincidentally you are the same person, could it?
Lin Yun suddenly felt terror. Comrade Wang Wanqiu’s idea for treatment was... well...
Lin Yun glanced at Lin Yu and noticed that she indeed lived up to the name of being an exceptional beauty; she and the Flower Fairy could definitely be considered equals.
"By the way, you have a birthmark shaped like a cloud on your chest, which is why I named you Lin Yun,"
Lin Yu suddenly remembered this detail and spoke of it somewhat cheerfully.
She didn’t expect Lin Yun to repay her for her nurturing kindness, but she didn’t want to part with Lin Yun in such an unclear manner either.
She hadn’t mentioned the birthmark before because what Hu Yuling said was already enough to prove Lin Yun’s identity. But if Lin Yun himself didn’t believe it, she could use this detail to prove herself!
Having said that, she excitedly reached over and pulled open Lin Yun’s collar, only to see skin as white as jade.
A birthmark?
This... I don’t have one...
