The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 162: The Insider Traitor, It’s Her (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
Lin Yun saw that Zhao Lingyu ignored him, and thought she was angry.
Indeed, they hadn’t talked much yesterday, and now that Zhao Lingyu was returning to the palace, she didn’t even say goodbye to him; it seemed she was truly upset.
Lin Yun actually felt somewhat embarrassed, as he hadn’t meant to provoke Zhao Lingyu on purpose, it was just...
Okay, he did it intentionally because he thought it was amusing to see Zhao Lingyu trying to maintain a smile while clearly seething.
Perhaps, he was a devil after all!
Now that Zhao Lingyu was truly angry and ignored him, Lin Yun felt a bit ashamed.
After all, although Zhao Lingyu seemed to have ulterior motives for getting close to him, she had been quite nice all along, and that time she asked Lin Yun to comfort Lin Yu, it seemed to come from a genuine concern for others.
That being said, although she might be a bit scheming, at heart, she was still a good girl.
It was Lin Yun who had gone too far, after all. Not only did he not show any gratitude for all the help she’d provided, but he also took pleasure in bullying her, which was really too much.
"Are you still mad about what happened before?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lingyu finally reacted.
She realized that Lin Yun must be slightly problematic; I treat you with kindness, and you respond indifferently. And when I stop paying attention to you, you cozy up again.
Could it be that he likes this kind of interaction?
Recalling the Flower Fairy’s personality traits, Zhao Lingyu finally understood.
She realized that she had taken the wrong approach from the start!
What ’gentle and demure young lady’; Lin Yun surely preferred girls who were fierce with a touch of clinginess.
I get it now!
Zhao Lingyu then harrumphed, turned her head, and said, "I’m not angry at all!"
Hey, that’s the spirit.
Lin Yun:"..."
Are you acting again?
Lin Yun hadn’t forgotten that he had the persona of a ’straightforward and unemotional man’ in this place.
If that’s the case...
"It’s good that you’re not angry. Since you are leaving, you should hurry up. Take the opportunity now that it has stopped raining; otherwise, if it starts raining again, it won’t be easy to leave."
Zhao Lingyu:"..."
Hold back, don’t get angry.
"You don’t need to worry about me, Honorable Li, let’s go."
Big Red had already flown to the gate, waiting for them to mount.
Lin Yun, seeing that the Princess was upset again, called out from behind, "Senior Sister, I’ll come to find you in the Capital City."
"Hmph, we’ll see if you have the skills to enter the palace!"
Zhao Lingyu suddenly felt much more comfortable speaking in this form in front of Lin Yun.
The fact that Lin Yun actually liked this type of girl was perfect; just watch how I’ll scold him next time!
Satisfied, she sat atop Big Red, and Zhao Lingyu’s imagination already pictured herself trampling Lin Yun underfoot, with Lin Yun clinging to her feet, licking...
"Stop stop stop..."
Zhao Lingyu blushed at her own overactive imagination.
Lin Yun had no idea what the little princess was thinking; he was serious just now.
If he went to the Capital City, he definitely planned to look for the Princess, and perhaps take a tour of the Imperial Palace as a tourist.
Of course, he wouldn’t leave his seclusion until he had cultivated enough to sweep across the world.
Upon reaching the Sutra Pavilion, Lin Yun flashed his ordinary disciple identity plaque and could now access all the information on the first floor.
The Sutra Pavilion had three levels. The second level required a command from an Elder-level senior for ordinary disciples to enter.
And the top level was reserved exclusively for Elders themselves to visit.
The first floor had no cultivation techniques, only common knowledge of the Cultivation World, which was precisely what Lin Yun needed.
He saw many books, like "Compendium of Spiritual Herbs," "A Hundred Ways to Deal with Encounters with Demon Spirits and Monsters," "Postnatal Care for Spirit Beasts"...
Truly a variety of topics.
Lin Yun actually found it very interesting, such as the Compendium of Spiritual Herbs, which recorded many spiritual herbs and medicinal materials, including some legendary plants, complete with illustrations and anecdotes on the side.
Like the story of the Ghost Flower.
In legends, there is a Netherland, the world after death, where a mortal named Chen Sheng found himself after he died. There, he saw a red flower with sharp petals that could devour souls. Chen Sheng, terrified, tried to flee but was bitten on the hind leg by one of the flowers.
In desperation, Chen Sheng gnawed on the flower’s stem, and after a daze, he found himself back in the Mortal Realm, shocking those who were conducting his funeral.
Afterward, when Chen Sheng spoke of his experiences, people were all stunned and bewildered, but seven days later, he still passed away.
Lin Yun thought this story was quite interesting.
If the effect of a Ghost Flower is seven days, then couldn’t I just eat it again after I die? Wouldn’t I be immortal if I exploited this bug, assuming there’s no tolerance build-up?
Of course, legends are just that, to be read for entertainment, not taken seriously.
As Lin Yun immersed himself in his studies, time flew by until it was well into the day, and only then did he remember he had to eat.
He walked out of the Sutra Pavilion, only to see a beam of golden light in the south, piercing through heaven and earth.
Ah, this...
Considering the time, could this possibly be Little Gold’s doing?
Did Little Gold exert too much force?
This celestial phenomenon, naturally, also caught the attention of the public.
And naturally, it included some individuals from the Demon Sect and the Righteous Path.
Today was the day when something big was going to happen. The Green Lotus Sect and Shenxiao Sect had deep-rooted conflicts already, and now with a trigger in place, no one could suppress the anger of Shenxiao Sect.
Yet, to avoid escalating the situation, each Sect of the Righteous Path still sent their own representatives to express close attention to the matter and to try to avoid fighting as much as possible.
When the elders of Shenxiao Sect and the Righteous Path each went to discuss with the Green Lotus Sect, they only met the three Demon Lords, along with nearly all the elders of the Three Sects of the Demon Path.
The Three Sects of the Demon Path, truly of one nature and branch.
On the side of the Righteous Path, two Sects did not send representatives—one was Sword Sect, and the other was Yu Ling Sect.
If a fight breaks out, it’s hard to say...
After all, this time only the Shenxiao Sect had brought their Sect Master, and the other Sects, to avoid showing that the Righteous Path was joining forces to oppress the Demonic Path, had only sent an elder each. But the Demon Sect had an attitude of ’if you want to fight, go ahead, we’re not afraid at all.’
And the moment they met, tension cracked like drawn swords and strung crossbows.
"Where is Green Lotus?"
Fang Yu directly inquired about Green Lotus’s whereabouts, to which Liu Ji shook his head and said, "Green Lotus is no longer here, he went to the south."
Liu Ji didn’t hesitate to betray Green Lotus, just didn’t specify the exact location.
"Is this what they call fleeing from a crime?"
Fang Yu held the Thunderclap Sword in her hand, not her Immortal Sword. Holding the Thunderclap Sword symbolized much more than its practical effects.
"Sister Fang Yu, don’t be rash, Brother Green Lotus didn’t run away. He just worried that if he revealed that secret here, someone would silence him. So, he let our Brother Ji tell it."
Zhang Biyu spoke with a mischievous grin.
"What secret?"
Hu Yuling suddenly had a bad feeling.
As if instinctively, she felt a weight settling upon her.
"The Sword Spirit wasn’t stolen by Green Lotus, but by an insider traitor within your Shenxiao Sect."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Liu Ji, unable to help, shook his head and said, "The insider traitor is among you."
With that, Liu Ji’s hand pointed towards Hu Yuling...
Hu Yuling: "???"
My intuition was so accurate?
