The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 285 - 284 Ya Ruo’s Secret Letter

The behavior of the shaman-priest puzzled Lin Yun, but her little hand withdrew quite promptly. After the Snow Maiden accepted the hand signal, she left without looking back, which left Lin Yun even more speechless.

He carefully looked down and noticed a red mark had appeared on his hand.

Lin Yun silently clenched his fist, concealing the mark, then swung himself onto Snowstep.

"Sister, come on up!"

The Snow Maiden shook her head again, but this time, Lin Yun did not give up so easily. He glanced at Snowstep and said, "Look, isn’t it true you haven’t ridden Snowstep for a long time? If you keep refusing, the horse will be sad, you know!"

This was a crazy hint.

However, the Snow Maiden hadn’t thought that far. She saw genuine tears in Snowstep’s eyes, which softened her heart, and she patted Snowstep’s head saying, "Fine then, but you have to get down."

Lin Yun: "..."

Seeing Lin Yun’s stunned face, the Snow Maiden showed a smug smile.

Humph, did you think your sister wouldn’t know what you little rascal were up to? The clever me has seen through everything!

Lin Yun had no choice but to dismount and became an infantryman.

The Snow Maiden sat on the horse, giggling, her white robe transforming into a style suitable for horse riding. Lin Yun truly envied such clothing.

This must be able to turn into an apron too!

"Snowstep, let’s go and leave this guy to eat our dust!"

Snowstep let out a whinny to the sky, seemingly mocking Lin Yun too, before galloping off like a tornado, quickly fading into the distance.

It wasn’t difficult for Lin Yun to catch up to Snowstep. All he needed to do was to use the Lightning Motion Technique or the Fire Escape Technique, but Lin Yun couldn’t let the Snow Maiden know about those spells, so he had to run hard after them.

As he ran, he took the opportunity to study the red mark on his hand during this time away from the Snow Maiden.

When his Divine Sense started to contact the red mark, he heard the shaman-priest’s voice in his mind.

"Beware of the Grand Shaman, do not let the Snow Maiden return to Snow Mountain."

After those words were spoken, the red mark vanished.

Lin Yun cursed under his breath. Do insider traitors really attract each other? How had that shaman-priest pinpointed him so precisely?

"Interesting, does that mean the Grand Shaman intends to harm the Snow Maiden?"

There were many doubts about the matter. The message from the shaman-priest was too brief to convince Lin Yun, but he couldn’t afford to disbelieve it either.

Regardless of its truth, internal strife within the Snow Mountain Divine Church was good news for Lin Yun.

After all, he was merely an insider traitor.

Yet...

If the Grand Shaman truly wished to harm the Snow Maiden, Lin Yun would not be happy about it in his heart.

However, he was also very aware that he and the Snow Maiden were destined to become sworn enemies in the future. The beauty trap he was playing now, when revealed later, would also be a harm to the Snow Maiden.

Even in his initial plan, he had intended to eliminate the Snow Maiden. Now, hearing others might harm her, he felt displeased.

Alas...

Just take it one step at a time.

Lin Yun dashed down the mountain, but ahead, the Snow Maiden was already waiting for him with Snowstep.

"Come on, step on!"

The Snow Maiden laid out Fulong, transformed into a blue sash, on the snowy ground. Lin Yun stepped onto it, grabbing one end while Snowstep started galloping. The Snow Maiden pulled on the other end, as though she were pulling a sleigh.

Fulong was indeed very convenient!

"Once we get down the mountain, you ride the horse obediently, and don’t think about any nonsense," she said.

Lin Yun immediately replied innocently, "I’m not thinking about any nonsense!"

The Snow Maiden: "..."

Lin Yun was unwilling to admit it, and she had no real way to deal with it.

Not only that, but Lin Yun also countered, "Sister, what do you think I’m thinking about?"

"How would I know? Anyway, you will ride your own horse later!"

Snow Maiden turned her head away, ignoring Lin Yun.

Lin Yun, enjoying the fun of skiing, found Snow Maiden’s attitude quite amusing as well.

"I get it now, Sister must feel sorry for Snowstep, so she doesn’t want to share a ride with me, right?"

"Good that you know."

"But Sister, you’re so light, there’s hardly any difference whether it’s one person or two!"

Snow Maiden hadn’t expected Lin Yun’s previous question to be a trap. Hearing Lin Yun say she was light, she recalled the scene where Lin Yun had lifted her up high, her cheeks flushed as she reprimanded, "Ah Yun, you must know that men and women should not touch each other casually, you can’t just share a ride with a girl."

At this point, Snow Maiden suddenly remembered that Lin Yun had previously ridden the same horse as Bai Jiaojiao.

What they had done on the horse, Snow Maiden didn’t know because of the blockade by the Great Mist.

But their intimate behavior suggested their relationship was certainly not ordinary.

Thinking of Bai Jiaojiao leaning in Lin Yun’s arms, Snow Maiden couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

Lin Yun, however, failed to notice, after all, he wasn’t a god who could read emotions from someone’s back.

"I got it."

And so, their conversation came to an end, and after a moment of silence, Lin Yun suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, the six disciples of the Grand Shaman, they’re all about the same height and always wear the same clothes. Sister, can you tell them apart?"

The question seemed like casual chit-chat and Snow Maiden didn’t think much of it, letting go of her moment of jealousy as it passed.

Hearing Lin Yun’s question, she patiently answered, "Of course I can tell them apart. The one who came to see us off today is the disciple the Grand Shaman values the most, named Ya Ruo. She may be the next Grand Shaman. She’s the quietest and speaks the least, while Ta La, the Grand Shaman’s youngest disciple, is always very cheerful."

"That’s really unfortunate, isn’t it said that Shaman-Priests who fail to become Grand Shaman will gradually forget everything about the god? By then, she probably won’t be able to be cheerful."

Snow Maiden: "..."

Although Lin Yun spoke the truth, it still felt strange.

"Come to think of it, Shaman-Priests can’t directly communicate with the god, can they? That means even the Grand Shaman’s disciples haven’t actually learned the real way to communicate with the god, so why must the losers forget what they’ve learned?"

Snow Maiden was baffled, and Lin Yun continued to ask, "Has it always been only the Grand Shaman who can communicate with the god, and not even the most powerful Shaman-Priest can do it?"

Snow Maiden didn’t understand and nodded.

What if I were the Grand Shaman and I simply made up an instruction from the god, would you all believe it?

Lin Yun didn’t ask this question because the answer was quite clear.

"How is your relationship with Ya Ruo?"

Lin Yun shifted the topic, and Snow Maiden replied, "We rarely interact, but there was one time I saw her preparing for a ritual at the back mountain. She seemed to be quite busy, so I helped her with some things. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing much, just curious."

They seldom interacted, but perhaps Ya Ruo was a girl who remembered kindness and, knowing that the Grand Shaman meant harm to Snow Maiden, she took a risk to pass the message to him.

Why didn’t she directly tell Snow Maiden?

Lin Yun suddenly remembered that the Grand Shaman also mentioned not to tell Snow Maiden certain things because she was naïve.

Ah, so...

Do the people of the Snow Mountain Divine Church actually see Snow Maiden as a complete simpleton?

"Sister, how old are you this year?"

"Seventeen, why?"

Lin Yun: "..."

I was too hasty!
