The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 335 - 324 Eyes Full of Wisdom

Just now, Fang Yu had a realization.

Why must she save the common people?

In this world, everything has its destiny, and everyone’s fate is intertwined.

Previously, Fang Yu felt that since she had reached such a high level of cultivation, she must shoulder the responsibilities that come with it, which is also the ancestral teaching of the Shenxiao Sect.

Added to that was the choice given by her master at that time, and she had never known which answer was correct.

From her youth to the present, Fang Yu had always been preoccupied with distinguishing right from wrong, when in reality, most of the choices one encounters in life cannot clearly be labeled as such.

When she took Lin Yun as her disciple, she advised him likewise, but when it came to her own decisions, she would habitually overthink.

Like with the issue discussed in the Peach Blossom Conference this time, the answer was actually quite clear, yet it made her waver and led her to think of her own emotional tribulation.

Kill Lin Yun and save the common people, or save Lin Yun and let the common people suffer.

Now, she had an answer to this problem.

She should have known earlier, she didn’t have the ability to save everyone, but at least, she had to protect the ones she loved.

The character for love, only when perceived as a calamity is it truly a calamity. Now that Fang Yu had come to a realization, she felt her thoughts became clear.

A gentle breeze began to blow across the grassland, but no one cared, for wind on the grassland was normal.

There was no warfare at Mountain and Sea Pass, and the armies were arrayed against each other without any significant movement.

Inside Lin Yun’s tent, Fang Yu closed her eyes and drifted into a peaceful sleep.

But Lin Yun knew she wasn’t sleeping; she had entered a state of sudden enlightenment where her body was completely relaxed, immersed in the world of her mind, appearing as if asleep.

Lin Yun was immediately full of question marks.

How could one just achieve enlightenment so suddenly?

This was enemy territory after all!

Lin Yun didn’t know how Fang Yu had achieved enlightenment, but he knew he had to protect her as she cultivated.

After alerting Bai Jiaojiao and Green Snake outside, Lin Yun didn’t disturb Fang Yu.

As time slowly passed, the sun moved from the east to the west, the wind came, and so did the clouds.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, which seemed like normal weather patterns.

Before nightfall, the rain finally fell, and after nightfall, the wind and rain intensified, along with the frequency of the lightning and thunder.

In Lin Yun’s tent, Fang Yu, who had been in Lin Yun’s arms, suddenly floated up, held aloft by a gust of wind; she became the core of the wind and thunder.

Fortunately, the commotion outside was not significant, and no one noticed Fang Yu was slowly absorbing the power of wind and thunder.

Lin Yun set up the Great Mist around them as a precaution, keeping others at bay while he told Bai Jiaojiao to be extra careful.

Bai Jiaojiao, thinking of Lin Yun’s beautiful master and the critique the Book Immortal had given Fang Yu being "one glance at Yun Lang leads to a lifetime of confusion," felt complicated inside.

It was normal for a powerful person to have several beauties, but...

This was just too many!

Even for her, Bai Jiaojiao, that was something to be jealous of!

She couldn’t let Lin Yun and Fang Yu be alone together anymore.

Glancing around, Bai Jiaojiao noticed the Snow Maiden walking in the rain not far away and suddenly had an idea.

She went into the tent and saw Fang Yu, in the midst of absorbing the power of the wind and thunder. How had the fine Fang Yu suddenly started to break through?

It must have been because she secretly kissed Lin Yun!

For a moment, Bai Jiaojiao felt her teeth itch.

She looked at Lin Yun with a somewhat resentful gaze.

I’m keeping watch for you outside, and you’re secretly kissing another woman inside?

"Jiao Jiao, what’s wrong?"

Lin Yun, seeing Bai Jiaojiao come in, asked with confusion.

"I saw Snow Maiden walking in the rain, and I wasn’t sure if she would come over, so I wanted to tell you," said Bai Jiaojiao.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun’s expression immediately became grave. He didn’t know when Fang Yu’s cultivation would end. Such opportunities for sudden enlightenment were rare and unpredictable in their duration.

If the Snow Maiden came over and saw Fang Yu so comfortably breaking through, she’d definitely become suspicious. That could not only interrupt Fang Yu’s enlightenment but also lead her to doubt Lin Yun, possibly affecting his plans.

After a glance at Bai Jiaojiao, Lin Yun thought of a solution and said, "Jiao Jiao, you stay and protect my master while I hold off Snow Maiden."

Bai Jiaojiao had intended to lure him away from Fang Yu, and now that Lin Yun had volunteered himself, she was, of course, more satisfied.

But seeing Lin Yun so readily entrust Fang Yu to her, Bai Jiaojiao couldn’t help but ask doubtfully, "Aren’t you afraid I might take the opportunity to harm your master?"

Her expression was mischievously cunning. Lin Yun didn’t even stop as he casually said, "I trust you."

He didn’t explain further about risking life and limb or heart-to-heart trust. Those simple four words were enough.

Bai Jiaojiao felt warm inside as she looked toward Fang Yu. Her eyes were still fierce, but she murmured to herself, "For Lin Yun’s sake, I won’t hold it against you for speaking ill of me."

Prior to this, Bai Jiaojiao had secretly overheard what Fang Yu said to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun was not a dragon; he didn’t understand the dragon’s keen senses.

The so-called soundproofing formations couldn’t block a True Dragon’s senses.

She had heard it all, Fang Yu stating, "those not of our kind are sure to have different hearts."

Just like that night, she had actually overheard the movements of the Flower Fairy, deliberately speaking ill of the three women under the bed in front of Lin Yun, to tease them. As it turned out, none of them realized she knew everything, still playing the thief shouting "stop thief"!

Bai Jiaojiao looked simple-minded, but the Book Immortal wasn’t wrong; she was the smartest one.

Smart people know when to play dumb.

Bai Jiaojiao could tell that Lin Yun’s words weren’t just to cheer her up, so she was delighted beyond measure, and even the addition of another sister to their group couldn’t dampen her spirits.

After leaving the tent, Lin Yun saw from a distance the Snow Maiden walking in the rain.

She had enough cultivation level not to let herself get wet, but she chose not to use it, allowing the rain to drench her.

Hurrying over, Lin Yun asked, "Sister, why are you out here in the rain?"

Upon seeing Lin Yun, the Snow Maiden removed her veil and smiled faintly, "Because I rarely see rain. On the Snow Mountain, it always snows; although I love it, the occasional rain is quite nice too."

She wasn’t standing in the rain because she felt down, but rather because she was too happy.

The rain was a chance for her to cool down.

The rain soaked her clothes, which though they were white robes, were not see-through, sparing Lin Yun from glimpsing anything enticing.

"Sister, you’re really in high spirits."

Watching the Snow Maiden barefoot on the rain-soaked grass, Lin Yun suddenly found her to be very romantic.

"When you’re in a good mood, it shows," she answered.

"Then, why is Sister in such a good mood?" Lin Yun inquired.

The Snow Maiden fell silent, gave Lin Yun a sidelong glance, and with a faint smile, replied, "Just in a good mood, that’s all."

Lin Yun didn’t press further but responded in tune with her, "I hope Sister can be as happy as this every day."

The Snow Maiden, looking tenderly at Lin Yun, reached out to hold his hand and softly said, "As long as Ah Yun’s here, I’m sure to be happy."

Caught off guard by the Snow Maiden’s tender words, Lin Yun’s heart raced unexpectedly.

Such an innocent girl, her gaze was like the snow of the Great Snow Mountain—pure, unblemished, and flawless.

In the face of such a gaze, Lin Yun couldn’t help feeling inadequate.

Compared to the Snow Maiden’s innocence, his thoughts were far too complex.

He wanted many things, the first was to survive, which is the most basic need. Then, he wished for the people he liked to live well.

Just that he liked quite a few people, and that made this wish a bit embarrassing to admit.

Ultimately, he wanted to grow stronger.

He now sought power, not because he enjoyed controlling others, but because he wanted to defy being controlled by others.

For this, he had used many people, and deceived many more.

Up to this point, he hadn’t divulged his true intentions to anyone, he had lies for every person.

Looking into the Snow Maiden’s adoring eyes, he hadn’t felt shame, because he knew he had no intention of being reckless with their feelings. Although a bit fickle, but...

"It was all by chance; it’s not my fault."

Yet, looking into the Snow Maiden’s eyes, Lin Yun suddenly felt a sting of discomfort.

"Sister, if one day you found out I had lied to you, what would you do?" Lin Yun asked.

No sooner had he spoken than he knew he’d blundered.

Rashly spoken, there was something off about the Snow Maiden’s gaze!

Could it be bewitching?

Her wise eyes were disarming him of his own wit.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t be honest with the Snow Maiden, but such an admission needed decisiveness and selective concealment.

Such half-hearted self-exposure was simply a foolish move.

However...

The Snow Maiden was more naive than he had imagined; she didn’t consider whether Lin Yun had already deceived her, but instead seriously answered his question.

"I would be very angry!"

With a serious expression, the Snow Maiden grumbled about the Book Immortal, "He said I’m naive and easily fooled. Am I that easy to deceive? Everyone’s always told me I’ve been clever since I was young."

Lin Yun: "..."

The Snow Maiden was naively adorable, her innocence endearing. Lin Yun couldn’t help but push back her hair to better see her stunningly beautiful face, momentarily transfixed.

The Book Immortal ranked the Snow Maiden sixth, but in reality, Lin Yun felt that all the girls in the top ten were on a similar level—apart from two whose names he didn’t know, and one unfamiliar Long Xiaoman.

Judging by beauty alone, Lin Yun couldn’t decisively say who was the most beautiful.

Fang Yu, whose ranking was slightly lower, had distinct attributes that actually worked in her favor. The Snow Maiden was ranked sixth, but her beauty was not inferior to Lin Yu’s.

Plus, her naive demeanor made one want to tease her.

Wait a minute...

Lin Yun suddenly realized that he seemed to want to tease any pretty girl he saw, regardless of their temperament.

Ah, this...

As Lin Yun got lost in his thoughts, the Snow Maiden blushed from his gaze. Yet, she didn’t stop him. Instead, her hopeful eyes seemed to be waiting for Lin Yun to make the next move.

She wanted to be closer to Lin Yun. Why hadn’t he held her yet?

Seeing her anticipation, Lin Yun slowly leaned down and kissed her lips.

Snow Maiden: "???"

Aren’t kisses meant for the cheek?
