The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 349 - 338 Deep Sisterly Love

In the cold palace, two incredibly beautiful women faced off for a long time.

Lin Yu was like a sharp sword, her aura fierce, while Flower Fairy was gentle as water, tranquility personified.

Finally, it was Flower Fairy who broke the silence.

"Not long ago, Sister Yu and Brother Yun had a quarrel, didn’t you?"

Lin Yu hadn’t expected Flower Fairy to so abruptly change the subject, and her mood soured as she retorted, "Lin Yun is decades younger than you."

"It doesn’t matter. He also calls you Yu’er, and Sister Yue is decades older than me."

Lin Yu: "..."

"Enough, let’s talk about serious matters."

Flower Fairy, however, ignored her and continued, "You had a fight, it seems it was at the Book Immortal’s place. You found out Brother Yun’s identity, it’s better to have fought earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know if what you liked was your foster son or Brother Yun."

Lin Yu was shocked by Flower Fairy’s former statement and felt quite awkward with her latter remark.

Lin Yu had certainly considered this issue before, and she had her answer long ago.

Before meeting Lin Yun, the love she gave was maternal.

But now, with Lin Yun appearing, occasionally flirting with her and looking at her with eyes filled with perverse filial piety, it naturally twisted her love too.

These two affections were inherently of different natures, and once she came to know the truth, they naturally split apart.

She indeed had the misconception that Lin Yun was her foster son, which is why she went with him, but it was also because he stirred her heart; of course, she liked the Lin Yun of now.

Lin Yu was very clear about this in her heart, but Flower Fairy’s words made Lin Yu suddenly consider whether Lin Yun might have the same misunderstanding?

She needed to find an opportunity to clarify this with him.

Lin Yu was planning in her mind while she said to Flower Fairy, "Did you see through it long ago?"

"Yes, when he said he had amnesia, I knew it was a lie. I have sealed memories before; when you lose your memories, you become muddleheaded, and you have to relearn everything. But Brother Yun was so clever and astute, he couldn’t have had amnesia. It could only have been a deception.

No one understands amnesia better than I do."

Lin Yu: "..."

After all this time, was she the only one left in the dark?

"Why didn’t you tell me sooner?"

"Brother Yun had no intention of hurting you, and I don’t know why he wanted to hide his identity, but I didn’t want to expose him."

Lin Yu: "..."

She had a point, wait a moment, are we getting too far off topic?

"Forget it, all that has passed. Today, I’ve come to ask about Palace Master Jiang."

"The matter of Brother Yun, that’s my answer to you."

Lin Yu: "..."

Only then did Lin Yu realize, Flower Fairy wasn’t changing the subject but was trying to tell her a principle.

Seeing the truth doesn’t necessarily mean it should be exposed.

"Everyone has secrets. Even loving couples and close sisters have things they can’t tell each other. Why must you probe into everything, Sister Yu?"

Lin Yu fell silent; she certainly knew this principle and would respect others’ secrets.

Even if she fought like a crazed tiger, most of the time she remained calm.

Even with her emotions running high, she wouldn’t let impulsiveness crash her reason.

She had her suspicions when Flower Fairy started her manoeuverings; it was only after following her that she discovered Jiang Chenyu had been attacked.

There was no evidence pointing to Flower Fairy, but Lin Yu was clear in her heart that this matter was definitely related to Flower Fairy.

Most likely, Flower Fairy had colluded with Hu Yuling, with Flower Fairy plotting against Jiang Chenyu and Hu Yuling launching the attack, helping Flower Fairy to clear any suspicions. Then Flower Fairy would ascend and become the new Lord of Guanghan Palace. Everything would fall into place.

A dear friend had become a traitor who deceived her master and colluded with the Demon Race, which filled Lin Yu’s heart with sadness not unlike when she found out there were two Lin Yuns, one already dead, and the other close to death.

Yet, she still waited for seven days.

During these seven days, she had been trying her best to find Jiang Chenyu’s whereabouts while stealthily gathering evidence.

As for being maliciously involved with Shenxiao Sect’s rhythm, accused that she, Lin Yu, might be colluding with the Demon Race and Shenxiao Sect could be the Demon Race’s stronghold, she didn’t bother to pay attention to such matters.

Actually, she only needed to express her suspicions about Flower Fairy, and Shenxiao Sect would naturally be cleared. Capturing Flower Fairy, the traitor guilty of betraying her master and colluding with the Demon Sect, would also be the proper thing for a person of the Righteous Path to do.

But Lin Yu still chose to be partial.

She said nothing, merely bearing in silence the misunderstandings of others. After searching for seven days and not finding Jiang Chenyu, she went to find Flower Fairy.

She already knew the answer, but she still wanted to hear an explanation from Flower Fairy.

In the end, Flower Fairy still didn’t want to speak.

"I just want to know the truth, as well as your reasons for doing this."

Seeing Lin Yu so insistent, Flower Fairy appeared helpless.

"Sister Yu, I didn’t realize you had such strong curiosity."

"I just want to help you."

Flower Fairy sighed, "I know you want to help me, that’s why I don’t want to tell you. Once you take my side, you become an enemy of the Righteous Path, even of the entire Central Plains Human Race. There would be no place for you in this vast world."

Lin Yu certainly understood the gravity of the situation. She walked slowly towards Flower Fairy, her hand gently brushing her face, like a tender big sister.

"We have been friends for many years, I know you are a girl with a kind heart, you wouldn’t kill indiscriminately. You must have your reasons for doing this. I understand the dangers are immense, a single misstep could mean total destruction, but for the sake of our sisterhood, I am willing. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

So, Little Flower, tell me everything. If it’s your fault, I’ll bring you back to the Righteous Path, but if it isn’t, I’m willing to face all the hardships together with you."

"Sister Yu..."

The Flower Fairy looked at Lin Yu with a moved expression.

Even though Lin Yu competed with her for a man, she was still a good sister.

Once again, the Flower Fairy felt protected and couldn’t help but throw herself into Lin Yu’s arms, the two embracing tightly.

However, feeling the embrace of Lin Yu, the Flower Fairy finally understood where she had lost.

How sly of you, Sister Yu, when did you grow up in secret?

Thinking this, the sisters’ bond nearly faltered.

Having gotten to this point in the conversation, the Flower Fairy didn’t plan to hide anything from Lin Yu anymore.

Just as she was about to explain, a disciple suddenly reported from outside the hall.

"Reporting to the Saintess, the Leader of the Red Lotus Sect, Red Lotus Demon Lord, has come to visit and is now outside the mountain gate!"

The Flower Fairy: "..."

Lin Yu: "..."

Why is Dongfang Hongyue here instead of guarding the Mountain and Sea Pass?

"I’ll go take a look."

The Flower Fairy let go of Lin Yu and walked out of the great hall to the mountain gate.

Outside the mountain gate of Guanghan Palace, Dongfang Hongyue also looked at the Guanghan Palace people, prepared for battle, with a speechless expression.

What, do they think I’m here to fight?

Hadn’t my reputation improved?

The reputation of Dongfang Hongyue wasn’t good before, but after the people from Yellow Wind Valley were released, Dongfang Hongyue knew her public image was about to be destroyed. So, she did the opposite of what was expected, spreading the word that she was actually a good person who had done many good deeds.

Now, indeed, no one was attempting to assassinate her anymore.

Probably...

It was because the Sword Sect was blackmailed for a hefty sum of money!

This was an old trick for Dongfang Hongyue.

Smear your reputation, then reveal a fatal weakness, enticing those who seek fame to come to her to gain reputation. If she appeared too formidable, offering no hope, nobody would attempt to assassinate her, much like the other two Demon Sect Leaders, who were rarely targeted for assassination.

With this tactic, Dongfang Hongyue had made quite a bit of money, whether by capturing people and demanding ransom or by demanding compensation from their backers.

There was no other way, she was poor and cultivated virtue; she couldn’t just rob anyone, so she had to act in self-defense.

If she encountered those without money or backing, then they would have no choice but to be sent to work in the mines of Yellow Wind Valley.

In any case...

All these issues were in the past, this method of making money was no longer reliable.

Dongfang Hongyue thought she had almost cleared her name, but she didn’t expect that because she had sent out so many to clear her name, it actually made people even more skeptical.

Just like the Guanghan Palace now, fearing Dongfang Hongyue had come to make trouble while the Lord of Guanghan Palace was away, especially since the Saintess and Dongfang Hongyue had previous conflicts.

However, although Guanghan Palace was nervous, they were not afraid, for a great sect carries the aura of a great sect.

They were prepared for battle with Dongfang Hongyue.

As soon as the Flower Fairy arrived and saw the situation, she nodded to the leading Elder, then walked up to Dongfang Hongyue and said, "What brings you here, Lord Dongfang?"

"I’ve been entrusted with a message for you."

The Flower Fairy immediately understood and nodded, "Then please follow me, Lord Dongfang."

The Flower Fairy planned to lead Dongfang Hongyue to the inner hall, causing the Elders to worry a bit.

"Is it appropriate for the Saintess to be alone with her? What if Dongfang Hongyue takes the opportunity to make trouble..."

"Don’t worry, I am not so weak, and besides, with the Jade Sword Immortal here, there will be no issues."

After Lin Yu made her comeback, her strength was even greater than before, and the Cultivators of Great Zhou naturally referred to her as the Jade Sword Immortal. No one knew when Lin Yu might attempt to claim the title of Sword Venerable.

The title of Sword Immortal was an elegant nickname that many Cultivators could use, while there could only be one Sword Venerable, a title that had to be fought for.

Guanghan Palace also had faith in Lin Yu’s strengths, which is why they did not try to stop her.

Dongfang Hongyue made it to the inner hall without issues, and the Flower Fairy eagerly said, "Is it Brother Yun who sent you to deliver a message to me?"

Dongfang Hongyue felt rather peeved inside hearing her refer to him as "Brother Yun" over and over.

Hmph, think you’re the only one who can use a pet name, huh!

"That’s right, my husband heard about Jiang Chenyu’s attack and guessed that you were behind it, that’s why he sent me to find you," Dongfang Hongyue said, not avoiding Lin Yu. They had agreed before to unify against external enemies.

There was no need to hide this kind of big issue from Lin Yu, having one more person meant more strength.

The Flower Fairy’s expression faltered. Did she make it that obvious? How could everyone guess it was her doing?

But she was wrong; only those who had access to critical information could guess it was her.

"You are not yet married, calling him your husband does not conform to proper conduct."

"When there is the reality of marriage, why bother with such formalities. Moreover, just yesterday, my husband said to me that the person he has always liked the most has always been me. What else is there for you to compete over?"

Lin Yu: "..."

The Flower Fairy: "..."

Are you here to deliver a message, or to show off?
