The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 213 - 212: The Real and Fake Lin Yun

Zhang Daqiang couldn’t help but sigh; to be a flower-picking thief, one really needed nerves of steel. If he hadn’t been calm enough to refrain from acting rashly, he would have exposed himself by now.

Not only that, the performance of his teammates was also crucial.

Zhang Daqiang felt somewhat relieved and gave his teammate, Fu Yurou, a look of approval.

Very steady, her feigned shock earlier was just right.

Fu Yurou: "..."

She still hadn’t quite recovered from her shock.

"What’s going on here?"

Zhang Daqiang asked.

Lu Mingli then recounted the events of Lin Yun and Lin Yu’s ascent up the mountain and shared his own deductions, leaving Zhang Daqiang utterly baffled.

Well, this reasoning is logical, but here’s the problem—I am the Jade-Faced Silver Fox!

That Lin Yun, he couldn’t really be the Lin Yun from the Shenxiao Sect, could he?

Combining what Lu Mingli had said, Zhang Daqiang was seventy percent sure. Fortunately, his timing was impeccable, and it seemed Lu Mingli didn’t know much about Lin Yun, only that the new disciple taken in by the Shenxiao Sect Leader was named Lin Yun. Since Lin Yun had claimed to be a loose cultivator, it led Lu Mingli to suspect him of being the Jade-Faced Silver Fox from the start, rather than a member of the Shenxiao Sect. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Truly, the heavens are assisting me too. The organization wants to deal with Lin Yun, so if I kill him here, wouldn’t that be a great achievement? And if I kill the wrong person, well, that’s just his bad luck," Zhang Daqiang resolved firmly in his heart, then spoke seriously to Lu Mingli, "Since the thief still doesn’t know he’s been exposed and we’re going to strike, we should strive for a lethal blow. We can’t give him a chance to escape. Let’s set up a trapping formation first, then use some narcotic drugs. Once the thief is powerless to resist, we’ll emerge and capture him. How does that sound?"

"Brilliant!"

Lu Mingli originally thought that disciples from reputable sects would be arrogant and go straight into action without much thought, but he didn’t expect this Lin Yun to be so steady and courageous.

"Let’s do it that way. Lihua, you take Young Master Lin to rest, and be careful not to let the thief notice anything out of the ordinary."

Lu Lihua cast a glance at Lin Yun. Although she was young, she wasn’t foolish. She understood her father’s intentions—he thought that Lin Yun, as a high-ranking disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, had a limitless future. If they could form a connection with him, it would be greatly beneficial to their Cloud Rain Sect.

In theory, she wasn’t opposed to such a fate, but that was before she had seen Lin Yun.

Now she realized she was all about looks, and unfortunately, Lin Yun was a notoriously lecherous flower-picking thief.

However, since Lin Yun was a flower-picking thief, he should have planted plenty of seeds, and there ought to be some good-looking offspring among them. Age was not a problem for cultivators, and since she was only seventeen now, waiting another eighteen years wouldn’t be too late, considering the cultivators’ lifespan...

Lu Lihua’s thoughts were treading a dangerous path as her mind fixated on Lin Yun’s handsome face. She replied dismissively, "Didn’t father say that today, I can’t leave his side for even a step? Let Elder Brother Jingshuang take Young Master Lin to rest instead."

Lu Mingli, speechless and shaking his head helplessly, did not explicitly point out her ploys and simply said, "Fine, Jingshuang, take Young Master Lin to rest. Jingyun, go prepare. Didn’t we just kill a flying chicken? Just add the poison to that."

"Yes!"

Lu Jingyun went to carry out the task, and the entire Cloud Rain Sect sprang into action. With formations and narcotic drugs, to deal with a cultivator in the Divine Cultivation Stage was more than sufficient.

The thought of the infamous Jade-Faced Silver Fox dying at the Cloud Rain Sect, thereby making the sect famous, excited Lu Jingyun.

As night fell, the Cloud Rain Sect brought food to Lin Yun and Lin Yu’s room.

Lin Yu had already achieved her cultivation level and no longer needed to eat.

If she didn’t have to eat, of course, she would prefer not to.

But then she suddenly remembered that Lin Yun, who already had cultivation at the Divine Cultivation Stage, still ate food. It seemed he might not know The Art of Avoiding Food.

She might just use that as an excuse to see him. Otherwise...

Lin Yu thought back to how she had hurriedly fled from Lin Yun’s room earlier, which was so embarrassing.

Even if Lin Yun had said she was particularly beautiful, so what? She was beautiful anyway.

But by running away like that, she looked as if she were the one feeling shy.

Lin Yu adjusted her mood and knocked on Lin Yun’s room door. Entering, she saw Lin Yun put down his chopsticks, apparently having eaten only a few bites.

"The food you cook is tastier, I can’t bring myself to eat these," Lin Yun said.

Hearing this, Lin Yu felt pleased but replied, "Too many colors can dazzle the eyes, too many flavors can satiate the tongue. With your level of cultivation, why haven’t you learned to abstain from food?"

"Only good food and love are not to be wasted. If I refrained from eating and drinking, life would be so dull," Lin Yun responded.

Lin Yu was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Lin Yun to think this way.

But he was right; Lin Yun could have easily learned The Art of Avoiding Food if he had wanted to.

"If that’s the case, then take your time eating. I’ll be going now," she said.

"Let’s not worry about that now. It’s already dark, let’s go out and see. Otherwise, if the flower-picking thief comes, we won’t even know," Lin Yun suggested.

"Alright."

With that, Lin Yu left the room with Lin Yun. Just before she did, she suddenly remembered the faint scent in the room and asked, "What is this fragrance about?"

"Oh, a servant came by earlier and said that lighting this incense can focus the mind. I find it quite effective," Lin Yun explained.

Still, Lin Yu felt something was off. She sniffed it carefully and her expression suddenly changed, "This is a mixture of Illusive Fragrance Grass and Phantom Herb. It can induce one’s inner desires, stirring up lust, and it’s incurable."

"Oh, I’ve read about this. I’ve even seen the antidote," Lin Yun recalled.

Then, it dawned on him—was this poison? Or was it an aphrodisiac?

He was unaware that the food also contained poison, for although he had taken a few bites, he had yet to feel any effects.

Just like the incense, he had been smelling it for quite a while without any reactions!

This couldn’t be fake medicine, could it?

Just at that moment, Lin Yu realized they were actually surrounded.

Lu Mingli, leading the people of Cloud Rain Sect, circled around them. The Cloud Rain Sect had a total of forty to fifty people, most of them mortals. For Lin Yun, these people wouldn’t be enough to withstand a single spell from him.

Lin Yun was somewhat curious and asked with confusion, "What is the meaning of this?"

"Jade-Faced Silver Fox, you have no way to escape now!"

Lu Mingli declared confidently, while Lin Yun was left with a question mark on his forehead.

What?

How did I become the Jade-Faced Silver Fox?

"Let’s not talk about whether I am the Jade-Faced Silver Fox or not, just you few kitty-cats, who gave you the courage to surround me?"

"You! Arrogant in your cultivation, even if I can’t take you down, there’s still the Shenxiao Sect Leader’s disciple here, you’re bound to die today without a doubt!"

"Eh, I have an elder brother? Weren’t they all dead?"

Lin Yun suddenly remembered, he actually had an elder sister, Fang Yu was always looking for a way to save her, and who knows when she would find it. Anyway, Lin Yun also didn’t know much about these matters.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daqiang knew that this Lin Yun was indeed Lin Yun.

Lucky break this time!

Encountering a Lu Mingli who didn’t seem too bright, and Lin Yun and his companion were also affected by the aphrodisiac he concocted. This woman, Zhang Daqiang had never seen or heard of before, named Lin Yu, could very well be a protector assigned to Lin Yun by the Shenxiao Sect.

She’s at most in the Heart Guarding Realm, it’s unlikely for a high-level Celestial Knowing Realm to be a bodyguard for a junior, and those in the Heart Guarding Realm can’t resist the effect of this medicine.

Zhang Daqiang felt this wave was definitely stable.

He never associated Lin Yu with the Jade Sword Immortal because Lin Yu’s nickname was the Jade Sword Immortal, and everyone actually forgot her real name. Moreover, everyone knew that the Jade Sword Immortal had been crippled, even if Zhang Daqiang knew she was the Jade Sword Immortal, he probably would’ve been more excited.

"Villain, prepare to die, you have no way to escape now!"

Zhang Daqiang drew his sword, pointing it at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun felt the situation was utterly absurd, I came here to be a chivalrous hero, yet I ended up being targeted like this.

Is this the characteristic of attracting trouble?

Annoyed, he said, "And you are?"

"I am Lin Yun, my master is the Master of Wind and Thunder."

"Oh? You are also called Lin Yun. The title Master of Wind and Thunder sounds impressive, but how come I haven’t heard of it?"

What a coincidence to meet someone with the same name. Pleasure to meet you.

Lin Yu couldn’t help but cover her forehead and quietly reminded him, "Master of Wind and Thunder is your master’s honorific."

Lin Yun: "..."

Only now did he react and realize that this guy was an imposter, and not only that, he had the nerve to impersonate him right to his face.

This is just really awkward.

"Are you here to joke with me? Impersonating my identity?"

Zhang Daqiang was also at a loss for words, especially when Lin Yun asked who the Master of Wind and Thunder was; he really wanted to ask, who exactly is the fake one...

But this was good too, no one would believe him.

"Stop resisting stubbornly, no one here is a fool, no one will believe you. Just surrender quietly, or else, once the poison takes effect, you’ll be the one in pain."

Zhang Daqiang felt he held the winning ticket, but Lin Yun just snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping around, and then he saw Fu Yurou on the side.

He suddenly understood.

"I get it now, you’re the real Jade-Faced Silver Fox, but how dare you use my identity? Are you trying to tarnish my reputation to lure me down the mountain? Seems like you have quite a background!"

Zhang Daqiang: "..."

When Lin Yun said this, for a moment Zhang Daqiang thought Lin Yun was a simpleton, yet just by making a casual observation, Lin Yun figured out that he was the Jade-Faced Silver Fox and even guessed his purpose and that he had a powerful backing.

This kid is terrifying to such an extent, he can’t be left alive!

"Still spewing witchcraft even at the brink of death, Sect Master Lu, let’s do it!"

Lu Mingli nodded, in comparison to Lin Yun, Zhang Daqiang seemed more credible, and Lin Yun did seem like he was desperately lashing out in the face of death.

Besides, even if they killed the wrong person, he wasn’t the main conspirator, right?

There’s no need to think so much, just do it, and it will be done.

"Activate the formation!"

The formation prepared beforehand slowly activated, symbols flickering, and the trap was set.

Not only that, but this was also a formation that suppressed Divine Sense. Inside the formation, usually, friend and foe aren’t distinguished, benefits are equally shared, and weaknesses are equally diminished. Of course, sometimes positioning can result in different effects.

However, the one who sets up the formation can adjust the formation according to their own situation. For instance, if the enemy is associated with water, and you are of wood, setting up an earth attribute formation would significantly weaken the opponent’s power.

This formation was just like that. Lin Yun was in the Divine Cultivation Stage, Cloud Rain Sect had three disciples undergoing Mortal Transcendence; the rest were mortals, but there were many of them, and they had combined attacking methods.

As long as Lin Yun’s Divine Sense was suppressed, bringing him to the same level, they could use their numerical superiority to kill him. How could he possibly lose this round after being poisoned as well?
