The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 350 - 339: To Whom Has the Affection Been Given By Mistake?
If Lin Yun knew that Dongfang Hongyue called him "husband" behind his back, he would have to show her some color.
If you have the guts, call me that to my face!
Although she was merely here to deliver a message, jealousy and rivalry flared up again in the inner sanctum of Guanghan Palace, though this wasn’t the time for such squabbles.
Before Dongfang Hongyue arrived, the bond between Lin Yu and Flower Fairy was that of deep sisterly love.
"Some people, as the Demon Lord, might be too easily deceived. I guess, Brother Yun is too worried about me. Since he had to come himself, he only sent you to deliver the message, fearing you might get jealous, so he said a few nice words to appease you. Clearly, in Brother Yun’s heart, I am the most important," said Flower Fairy with logic and evidence, enraging Dongfang Hongyue because she felt there was sense in her words.
But Dongfang Hongyue would never concede defeat. With a cold laugh, she said, "I don’t need to say much about my relationship with Lin Yun. Those who understand, understand. Ever since Lin Yun started his Divine Cultivation, I have never caused him any trouble, being his best virtuous assistant. But look at you all, one whose Dao heart is easily damaged and shaken, the other causing such a big mess.
A good wife should never make her husband worry, right?"
Dongfang Hongyue could say she was strict with herself.
She also had her own aspirations, but she never burdened Lin Yun with them.
Just because of this, I am firmly the rightful wife. What grounds do you have to compete with me?
Lin Yu was also affected by her words, but what Dongfang Hongyue said was the truth, so Lin Yu couldn’t refute it.
Flower Fairy smiled faintly, "That’s what you don’t understand. The more you do for Brother Yun, the more you love him. But Brother Yun will love the person he is willing to do more for. Look, for my sake, Brother Yun even had you run this errand, which clearly shows who his favorite really is."
Lin Yu couldn’t help but give Flower Fairy a thumbs up.
Nice angle!
Provoked by these words, Dongfang Hongyue burst with anger. The two stared at each other eye to eye, chest to chest, while Lin Yu watched the spectacle, fanning the flames: "Please don’t fight. If you must, take it outside."
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, Dongfang Hongyue thought of something and took out the Calming Sea Pearl, saying, "There is only one Calming Sea Pearl, and he gave it to me."
"That doesn’t prove anything. It’s just because you are poor and have no Divine Artifact."
"Lin Yu doesn’t have one either."
Lin Yu: "..."
Good grief, are you lowering my status while you fight?
"Among the top ten beauties, I am ranked second."
"Really? I don’t believe that."
Dongfang Hongyue believed it, but without names for the first two, could you believe it just because you say so?
In any case, she officially held the highest status; anyway, Lin Yun said she’s his favorite, and she wouldn’t accept any objections.
"Enough, if we continue to quarrel like this, we’ll never have peace. Next time, let’s ask Brother Yun in person," Flower Fairy suggested, choosing to end the meaningless dispute and instead asked, "Did he have any other messages for me?"
"He said there’s a hidden truth behind the incident at Thousand Mechanism Valley years ago, and instructed you to cease all actions until he can find evidence for you," replied Dongfang Hongyue.
"Thousand Mechanism Valley?"
Lin Yu had heard of the incident at Thousand Mechanism Valley, but she hadn’t expected Flower Fairy to be involved.
The fact that Lin Yun could say such words meant he was also well-informed about Flower Fairy’s matters.
"So they all knew, but just didn’t tell me."
Lin Yu felt a pang of emotion, as she could understand why Lin Yun and Flower Fairy kept it a secret, but feeling excluded as one of their closest people brought a unique sadness that only she could fully appreciate.
At that moment, she kept her feelings to herself but silently noted it in her heart.
After pondering for a while, Flower Fairy looked toward Dongfang Hongyue and said, "Please tell him that I can wait, but I don’t have much time."
Without any evidence, but upon Lin Yun’s request, Flower Fairy did not insist on her own way. She had waited for fifty years; waiting a bit longer was bearable.
But indeed, her time was running short.
With the recent death of Daoist Master Huang Long and the attack on Jiang Chenyu, two top experts were lost, further weakening the strength of the Central Plains Human Race. Moreover, as the high-ranking Lord of Guanghan Palace, Flower Fairy knew that even if she managed to cover her tracks perfectly, there was always the divine justice of the heavens above.
If someone asked Yuxuan to leave seclusion to divine and deduce that she was the perpetrator, the situation would turn dire.
Flower Fairy was prepared for exposure. During this time, she ostensibly spent money and effort searching for Jiang Chenyu’s corpse, but in reality, she was secretly transferring her wealth.
She had even planned her escape route.
If this were before, Flower Fairy’s plan would be simpler: kill all her enemies, and then it wouldn’t matter.
If someone killed her, so be it.
But now, she not only wanted revenge but also life and to help Lin Yun achieve his hegemony.
As a result, the complexity of her plans had increased exponentially. If it were just about killing, she could have accomplished that by now. With Jiang Chenyu, the strongest among her enemies gone, what was stopping her from dealing with the rest?
She could run away right after the killing, but to transfer her wealth, she had to stay and act as the regent of the palace.
"You don’t have to worry. As long as you stand down, I will ensure your safety, along with Yuxuan and yourself. Unless Jiang Chenyu isn’t dead and suddenly appears to expose you, you are sure to be safe," Dongfang Hongyue confidently said.
Their power was not weak anymore.
In the entire Central Plains Human Race, there are now just over ten people of Enlightened Realm strength, and they accounted for three, belonging to different factions. Without solid evidence, no one could do anything to Flower Fairy.
"Got it. Where is Brother Yun right now?"
"He? He’s probably on his way to the Gan River. He wants to see you, fearing I might not persuade you, he plans to come in person to talk to you," Dongfang Hongyue said, slightly annoyed.
After all, seeing one’s beloved being concerned about another woman can certainly be unpleasant.
The Flower Fairy naturally smiled and said, "He is worried that hatred has blinded me, but in fact, I know what to do."
The Flower Fairy had five personalities, which meant the hatred for the Righteous Six Sects was distributed among them. As a result, the intensity of the hate was not as strong; at least, it didn’t make all five personalities lose their reason simultaneously.
As for her feelings towards Lin Yun, all five personalities had fallen for him. This wasn’t because Lin Yun had specific stories with each of them—the only significant interactions were between Little Flower Fairy and Hua Wuque.
However, during Divine Cultivation, the endearment was evenly spread, and that sense of closeness could be felt by all five personalities.
Hatred scattered into five parts, but affection amplified fivefold—it was somewhat unreasonable.
Nevertheless, when the five partitions of hatred came together, the Flower Fairy’s resentfulness was substantial.
At least, when she was discussing with Jiang Chenyu whether there was a mistake to acknowledge or not, Jiang Chenyu’s unrepentant attitude almost made her lose her reason.
What infuriated her wasn’t Jiang Chenyu’s crimes, but rather Jiang Chenyu’s refusal to admit them.
Up until her death, she maintained a superior attitude, believing herself to be in the right.
Thinking that the other Sects might also share this mentality, the Flower Fairy couldn’t wait to immediately go and exterminate everyone involved in that year’s incident from the other Sects.
The images of those people were etched into the Flower Fairy’s mind, always remembered deep within her consciousness.
"You really are patient."
Dongfang Hongyue couldn’t help but express her admiration. She thought she was a woman who could endure, but Flower Fairy had carried a deep-seated grudge and had been hiding among her enemies for decades without letting any murderous intent slip through.
This was quite remarkable.
Especially since the Flower Fairy was still young at that time.
And now, the opportunity for revenge was within reach, but because of Lin Yun’s words, she temporarily halted her steps towards vengeance.
For a moment, Dongfang Hongyue’s animosity towards her decreased somewhat.
At least, her feelings for Lin Yun were genuine.
It was no wonder that the comments made by the Book Immortal on the relationship between Flower Fairy and Lin Yun were exactly the same.
"Eh, something just occurred to me."
Dongfang Hongyue’s words prompted both Lin Yu and Flower Fairy to look at her as she said, "The comment on you and Lin Yun is ’Together through thick and thin,’ but why is your individual comment ’Half a life of folly, half of the scroll misguided, a sincere heart wrongly devoted’? Could it be that you have fallen for someone else?"
Dongfang Hongyue’s eyes had already taken on the shape of gossip, and Lin Yu also looked curiously at Flower Fairy.
They had known each other for many years and had never heard that Flower Fairy had a lover.
"Don’t slander me!"
Flower Fairy immediately panicked as Dongfang Hongyue, this despicable woman from the Demon Sect for the sake of jealousy, actually tainted her innocence.
"In this life, I’ve only loved Brother Yun, one man!"
"Enough, stop calling him ’Brother.’ It’s nauseating to hear, you’re not allowed to call him that."
"I want to call him that, Brother Yun, Brother Yun!"
Seeing that they were about to argue again after only a few words, Lin Yu also felt a headache coming on.
"I think we may all have misunderstood. Hearing ’a sincere heart wrongly devoted’ we think of it as loving the wrong man, but upon further thought, that may not be the case."
Lin Yu analyzed seriously, "Half a life of folly could mean that Little Flower, what you have been diligently working on for so long might be wrong. As for ’a sincere heart wrongly devoted,’ if we break it down, it might also mean that your kind heart was taken for granted."
Upon hearing this, Flower Fairy fell silent.
According to Lin Yu’s interpretation, it aligned perfectly with the message Lin Yun had Dongfang Hongyue relay to her.
There were hidden truths behind the incident back then.
If we reason in reverse with this answer, does it mean that the incident was indeed the fault of Thousand Mechanism Valley?
But even so, there was no need for the phrase ’a sincere heart wrongly devoted,’ right?
Flower Fairy faintly felt she grasped something, yet it seemed shrouded in a layer of fog.
The truth, for her, could be something exceedingly cruel.
"I’m going to Gan River."
Flower Fairy said with determination.
She wanted to find Lin Yun and ask him what exactly was the hidden truth he spoke of.
In fact, Flower Fairy had more or less guessed Lin Yun’s thoughts.
Though it was also a guess, Flower Fairy’s was more substantiated.
However, she had never considered this direction before.
That’s why she now wanted to see Lin Yun.
"I’ll accompany you."
Lin Yu didn’t know what Flower Fairy was thinking; she just knew she needed to be with her.
Dongfang Hongyue didn’t oppose but simply said, "I’ll go too, but I won’t travel with you."
This was to serve as each other’s shadow.
The three looked at each other and suddenly shared a sense of sisterhood so strong, it could sever gold.
"Ah, spit it out, who’s sisters with them!"
The thoughts of the three shockingly synchronized...
