The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 322 - 321 Clearly Arranged

Lin Yun watched helplessly as the man who looked just like him undressed and helped him into his clothes. Then he took a transparent object off his index finger and stuck it on his hand—this was the Mutual Awareness.

While showing these actions, the voice-over was also explaining the original Lin Yun’s plan.

"This body is a gift from heaven, with an empty Qi Sea, devoid of cultivation level, perfect to use the Soul Imprint Spell on him."

The Soul Imprint Spell is something that can only be used by those of a higher realm on those of a lower realm, forcefully infusing one’s own intentions into another person.

This is a method used by people of the Demon Sect to enslave others, and the original Lin Yun learned it by leveraging his good looks and learning from the maidservant who took care of him.

It wasn’t a particularly sophisticated method, nor had it drawn attention from others.

Lin Yun intended for this man who had come out of nowhere to take his place, while he would sneak away quietly. He knew that Lin Yu had been injured, and by the hands of the Demon Sect no less, but he didn’t know much about the details. He could only investigate on his own, first tracing the origin, to find a way to save her.

Staying in the Green Lotus Sect would only waste precious time.

But if he left the Green Bamboo Villa alone, Green Lotus would discover him, and he wouldn’t get far before being captured and brought back.

Having a substitute would be different; he had already calculated an escape route long before.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t want to harm anyone, but I had no choice."

Imprinting one’s intentions onto another’s heart is also the behavior of the people of the Demon Sect, forcibly changing another’s will—a fundamentally unrighteous act.

But at that moment, he couldn’t care less about righteousness.

With everything ready, he cast the spell.

His cultivation level was not high, and imprinting important information into the heart of the man who was identical to him also greatly drained his spirit.

After an exhausting amount of time, only fragmented memories were left behind.

Completely drained, Lin Yun collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

He needed to rest for a while before he could leave the Green Bamboo Villa.

However, at that very moment, a red flame suddenly ignited within his body.

"How could this be..."

Lin Yun was immediately shocked; he recognized that this was a sign of Immortal Physique Activation, and he unexpectedly possessed a fire-attributed Immortal Body.

But why did it awaken so suddenly at this time, and why was it so violent and uncontrollable? To make matters worse, he had just completed the Soul Imprint Spell and his Divine Sense was nearly depleted. He simply had no energy left to suppress the fire raging within him.

"Ah..."

Lin Yun let out a pained moan as the fire inside finally burst out, setting his entire body ablaze.

"Why has it come to this?"

In his last moments, he cast a final glance at the body he had found, realizing that during his previous wish-making, he had said he was willing to pay any price.

Could it be that the price was his own life?

In tremendous agony, Lin Yun lost consciousness, and gradually, the crimson flames consumed his body, reducing it to ashes.

A fierce gust of wind suddenly blew open the doors and windows, scattering the ashes on the floor, and large raindrops started to pour in, washing the ashes into a corner.

At this moment, the person on the bed seemed to sense the chilliness and slowly sat up.

"I... have I traveled through time and space?"

The scene before his eyes faded slowly, and Lin Yun took another glance at the Heavenly Book in his hand, the complexity of his emotions indescribable.

No wonder he had deduced that he was a soul traveler but always felt out of place, lacking a sense of belonging. It turned out that those were just memories forcefully imprinted by another Lin Yun.

He had finally understood the truth, but could he tell this to Lin Yu?

He had previously assured Lin Yu that he was unaware and would investigate.

Lin Yu trusted him because of that, but now that he knew the truth, what was he to say?

In the end, it was that Lin Yun who had been harmed because of him.

Although looking into it, Lin Yun hadn’t done anything wrong, on the contrary, it was Lin Yu’s foster son who got what he deserved, reaping the bitter fruits of his own deeds.

While it might be explainable in theory, emotionally, could Lin Yu accept this?

Lin Yun originally thought he was simply a soul that had traveled into the body, that the original Lin Yun had died first, and he had occupied this identity. He felt a bit embarrassed but had no sense of guilt—it was fate, who could be blamed?

After all, the original owner was doomed to die.

Only now did he know that there was no original owner; they were not the same person at all.

And the reason that Lin Yun was burned to death by fire was still due to him, although indirectly.

His body was of a higher grade than the Crimson Flame Immortal Physique. That Lin Yun, being the Crimson Flame Immortal Physique, sensed Lin Yun’s qi and activated the Immortal Body, but lost control, burning himself alive.

If that Lin Yun, when he first found this body, didn’t think to imprint a Soul Imprint and drain a massive amount of spirit on it, he certainly would not have died, and the activation of the Immortal Body would have made him much stronger.

Perhaps this is cause and effect, a slight difference in thought leading to this outcome.

However, beneath these seemingly coincidental chain reactions, Lin Yun felt a sense of transparent arrangement.

That Lin Yun’s fate was clearly arranged, not knowing whether it was truly because he made a reckless wish, and the wish indeed came true.

Now, Lin Yu was indeed alright, and under all these coincidences, Lin Yun still managed to meet Lin Yu and bring her back to life.

But the whole situation was terrifying upon reflection.

The invisible hand was too frightening.

Lin Yun genuinely felt afraid, he had always felt like a pawn being manipulated, but the more he knew, the more he feared whatever was behind it all.

He couldn’t outplay it!

That Lin Yun had already been played to death, and Lin Yun had a feeling of shared sorrow.

Towards that Lin Yun, he had no hatred. Although he did some things while Lin Yun was unconscious, now that he was dead, it was time to let bygones be bygones, especially since he also conveniently provided him an identity.

"Knowing too much is indeed not a good thing."

Lin Yun adjusted his emotions and handed the Bamboo Slip to the Book Immortal, saying, "All three questions have been answered, you may leave now."

Book Immortal: "..."

He had thought Lin Yun would dilly-dally and freeload a few questions from him, but he didn’t expect Lin Yun to be so decisive. For a moment, it actually made him feel that Lin Yun wasn’t as bad as he had imagined.

"Then I’m really leaving."

Taking the bamboo slip from Lin Yun and seeing no intention from him to grab hold, the Book Immortal decisively made his escape.

As long as he didn’t run into monsters like Lin Yun, the Book Immortal could roam freely anywhere in the world.

As long as he didn’t touch any taboos, he wouldn’t have any trouble.

Lin Yun watched the Book Immortal hurriedly flee and sighed again.

"I don’t even know which god dragged me here, but all I want to say is... I’ll work hard. I just ask the great god to give me a way to live, don’t let me die, and don’t let my wife die either, please please."

Lin Yun muttered to himself, clasping his hands together and bowing to some unknown god somewhere.

I don’t know who it is or if they can hear me, but I’ll just leave my words here—

I’m super obedient.

A worker should have the consciousness of a worker, even though he is now a small boss with two workers under him, at heart, he is still working for someone else.

Working is actually fine, what Lin Yun is afraid of is being discarded after being used up; that would not be fun at all.

After a moment of dejection, Lin Yun took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t worried, but he knew that worrying was useless; it was better to sleep on it and relax a bit.

As for what Bai Jiaojiao said about coming over later...

Well, I’ll pretend to sleep and just wait.

Unbeknownst to Lin Yun, at this moment, the four girls had run into each other again.

In the corridor not far from Lin Yun’s room, the four of them appeared, as if by tacit agreement, almost simultaneously. They each wanted to find Lin Yun alone, but then the Flower Fairy ran into Bai Jiaojiao and caught her on the spot.

"Are you going to find Lin Yun?"

"Yeah, aren’t you too?"

"Not at all, I’m on night patrol."

The Flower Fairy flatly denied it and then said, "Lin Yun wants to rest alone; you’re not allowed to go either!"

"You really like to butt in!"

Bai Jiaojiao glared at the Flower Fairy, quite annoyed. How unfair, not wanting it for herself but not allowing others either, hmph!

At this moment, Lin Yu and Dongfang Hongyue also came out, so Bai Jiaojiao said, "Are you two also looking for Lin Yun? How about none of us crowd out the others, it’s not impossible to sleep in the same bed, you know!"

Dongfang Hongyue was immediately enraged.

What kind of nonsense about sleeping together in the same bed; Lin Yun is only allowed to hold her when sleeping!

These people want to compete with her for her man and expect to be on equal footing?

"What a joke, I am out on night patrol. Yuheng and the rest are taking turns standing guard; we all have to be cautious and vigilant."

Lin Yu also echoed, "Mountain and Sea Pass is facing enemies on both sides; we can’t be too careful."

"Oh, so that means none of you could sneak into Lin Yun’s room, right?"

"Of course not!"

Although that was what each of them had in mind, having met the others, they certainly couldn’t admit it now.

"Fine, I can’t enjoy the fruits alone anyway, do as you please."

Bai Jiaojiao reluctantly chose to return to her room. With these three watching, trying to sneak away was far too difficult.

As for the night patrol trio, they put on a serious front, pretending they were truly out for night patrol.

The four monitored each other until late at night.

Lin Yun waited until the flowers had wilted and realized Bai Jiaojiao hadn’t come. She had actually stood him up!

Outrageous.

Carrying this indignation, Lin Yun slowly fell asleep.

Once again, Lin Yun felt the sensation of being enveloped by water, and found himself in the sea, slowly sinking.

Lin Yun’s consciousness was also somewhat fuzzy, lost in this comfortable feeling.

"********..."

The woman’s voice echoed again; Lin Yun tried hard to understand, to listen clearly, but his mind was a blur, unable to comprehend what she was saying.

The feeling of suffocation arrived once again, and amidst immense pain, Lin Yun abruptly sat up.

He gasped heavily, then suddenly noticed a figure beside the bed.

Looking closely, it was Lin Yu.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Lin Yu noticed something was off.

"It’s nothing, just a nightmare."

Lin Yun didn’t want to elaborate too much, but Lin Yu’s mood darkened further.

A dream?

Can cultivators even have dreams?

Lin Yu recalled having a romantic dream once before, but at that time, she was mortal and had been drawn into the dream, which didn’t count.

Generally speaking, when cultivators dream, it often serves as a warning.

Lin Yun should be aware of this knowledge, but he wasn’t sharing...
