The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 181: The Aloof Sect Master and the Soft Cute Youth
With Lin Yun’s cultivation level, it was indeed enough for him to descend the mountain for trials now.
Generally speaking, disciples who had reached the Mortal Transcendence Realm could start to wander the world, and Lin Yun had already cultivated divinely. His cultivation level was satisfactory, but he had only been on the mountain for a short time and hadn’t even begun to learn the Shenxiao Sect’s techniques.
Because Fang Yu was simply too busy, and Lin Yun was reading some books, she hadn’t gone to teach him.
Letting Lin Yun go down the mountain now would seem rather dismissive of him.
However, the words of Hu Yuling made Fang Yu come to her senses.
She was merely swayed by Lin Yun’s influence on her Taoist heart; it was definitely not to the extent of deep love. Sending him down the mountain and meeting Lin Yun after adjusting her mindset could prevent the onset of an emotional calamity.
Brilliant!
"You make sense, I’ll arrange it."
Seeing Fang Yu agreed, Hu Yuling finally felt relieved.
This time, no matter what Lin Yun chose, he would fall into her trap.
If Lin Yun insisted on not going down the mountain, he would surely defy Fang Yu’s orders. He might even argue with Fang Yu, and no one knew what Lin Yun’s original purpose was. His plans would definitely not go smoothly.
If Lin Yun did go down the mountain, leaving the protection of the Shenxiao Sect, with the mysterious divine skills of the Demon Race, dealing with a Lin Yun would be a piece of cake.
She did not continue to push the matter of Lin Yun descending the mountain with Fang Yu. After all, Lin Yun was not her disciple. A suggestion was sufficient; saying too much might arouse Fang Yu’s suspicions.
"There are three things I’m worried about."
Hu Yuling spoke of the purpose of her visit, "The first issue is about the Thunderclap Sword’s Spirit. I believe Green Lotus isn’t the one who stole the Sword Spirit, and Green Lotus framing me might also indicate an issue within our own ranks. I have said during the Elder meeting, the insider traitor is among us."
As she talked about this matter, Fang Yu’s expression also turned grave. Moreover, Hu Yuling’s words increased her trust in Hu Yuling by quite a bit.
Previously in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, Yuxuan had deduced that there was indeed a mastermind behind the scenes, and the Sword Spirit was currently in their hands.
"Does Elder Hu have any suspects?"
Hu Yuling shook her head, saying, "We are all brothers and sisters of the same sect. I’m unwilling to suspect anyone. For now, the best strategy is to remain unchanging and responsive to all changes. Especially at this time, we must not make random accusations; otherwise, it would play right into the opponent’s scheme to sow discord."
Fang Yu nodded and sighed, "You’re right. I will be careful. Elder Hu, thank you for taking this matter so seriously."
"Hmm."
Hu Yuling almost laughed out loud.
Fang Yu was still too naive. You want me to investigate the insider traitor? I am the insider traitor! And oh, another traitor is your own disciple. Either he will die, or he will become one of us.
"The second issue involves the death of Daoist Master Huang Long. I always feel there is something fishy about it. The Human and Demon Races have been restraining themselves recently, so why would the Demon King suddenly kill Daoist Master Huang Long? Up till now, we only know that it was Daoist Master Huang Long who was killed by the White Sea Dragon Demon King, but we know nothing more."
"During your journey, Elder Hu, you must be cautious."
Fang Yu had not thought about this point, and she couldn’t help but feel internally that perhaps she wasn’t cut out to be Sect Master.
It was because her dying master had wished for her to vie for the position of Sect Master that Fang Yu had taken up the mantle in order to fulfill his last wish.
With her personality, she was better suited to be a heroic woman who lived a life of passion and loyalty, not the Sect Master of a sect.
Over the years, in order to fulfill her role as Sect Master, she had put considerable effort into learning, and the improvement of her cultivation level had slowed down a lot.
Perhaps, once Elder Hu returned, she could appoint her as the Sect Master!
Fang Yu was making plans in her mind while Hu Yuling continued, "The third issue is related to Lin Yun. I had previously agreed to help him refine the Heaven-Mending Pill. Now that things are urgent, it seems that we won’t have time to refine it. However, I have a friend at the Li Fire God Palace. If Lin Yun can’t wait, he can take this letter to my friend for help with the refinement, or he can wait for my return."
Hu Yuling took out a letter and handed it to Fang Yu, a token she had prepared for Lin Yun.
"I thank you on behalf of Lin Yun."
"No need to be polite, I’ll head back now. It’s getting late, and you should not overwork yourself, Sect Master. Rest early!"
After bidding farewell, Fang Yu put away the letter.
After much thought, she decided to find Lin Yun.
She wanted to quickly teach him some Shenxiao Sect techniques, give him some Spiritual Artifacts for protection, and then send him down the mountain.
The sooner he left, the sooner she could rest easy.
When Fang Yu arrived at Purple Cloud Cave, Lin Yun was sleeping.
Of course, there were no beds in Purple Cloud Cave; sleeping meant lying on the ground.
Lin Yun was lying on his side, head resting on his arm.
Fang Yu reached out to awaken Lin Yun but suddenly heard him talking in his sleep, "Master, don’t run away, let me kiss you once more."
Currently, Lin Yun was dreaming that Dongfang Hongyue was a pitiful little thing being bullied by him into a flustered escape, which excited him even more.
However, without knowing that Lin Yun had another master, Fang Yu, hearing this sleep talk and thinking that Lin Yun was also making light of her in his dreams, felt both embarrassed and angry. Cursing him inwardly as an ungrateful disciple, she unleashed a thunderbolt with a flick of her hand. The loud boom frightened Lin Yun, who shot up immediately, then, not standing steadily, instinctively clung to Fang Yu, the nearby support to prevent himself from falling.
With the soft, warm fragrance in his arms, Lin Yun suddenly came to his senses and saw the shocked look in Fang Yu’s wide eyes. He quickly retreated several steps.
"I’m sorry, Master. It wasn’t intentional."
Fang Yu, of course, knew it wasn’t intentional, but remembering Lin Yun’s sleep talk, she still felt somewhat humiliated.
"No need for more words. You will leave the mountain in three days!"
"Ah?"
Lin Yun was completely dumbfounded.
This isn’t the right script!
Wasn’t Fang Yu not angry anymore before? Why did she suddenly come in the middle of the night to send him down the mountain?
Lin Yun was stunned. It couldn’t be just because of what just happened, could it?
Are little loyal dogs not cherished anymore?
Impossible. It must be a misunderstanding.
"You want to send me down the mountain, Master?"
Lin Yun looked deeply hurt, fully expressing his vulnerability and helplessness.
This place is so great, let me stay a few more years! I’d be willing to reflect on my actions here every day.
In Fang Yu’s eyes, Lin Yun clearly looked like a pitiful little puppy. She really wanted to pat his head to comfort him but restrained herself.
"Stop overthinking. I’m only sending you down the mountain for some experience. Besides, as a man, you should stay calm in the face of change. If you panic over such a small matter, how will you ever stand on your own in the future?"
Fang Yu taught him seriously, but Lin Yun responded with a beaming smile that seemed to make flowers bloom in spring.
Fang Yu couldn’t help but pause, "Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing, I’m just relieved. I was afraid that Master was going to expel me from the sect!"
This relief made Fang Yu’s heart skip a beat.
I never should have taken you as my disciple...
