The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 379 - 368: Boarding the Pirate Ship

Long Xiaoman was literally blowing bubbles at this point, exhausted to the core. With three people riding on her back, she still had to ensure that the fish’s back stayed above the water amidst the howling winds and crashing waves, her figure like a streak of golden lightning.

The consequence was now seen as she blew bubbles nonstop, like a fish deprived of oxygen.

But speaking of speed, Long Xiaoman was quite fast, and after turning golden, her speed increased even more, so much so that the Flower Fairy couldn’t catch up.

"Actually, we don’t need to be so panicked,"

Lin Yun said casually, reassuring Long Xiaoman with his composed demeanor.

Snow Maiden couldn’t help but scratch her head and said, "I thought you seemed really anxious, Ah Yun. So, are we not in danger?"

Without Fulong by her side, Snow Maiden always felt as if anyone could defeat her, mainly because there were too many opponents, and she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to take care of everyone.

Lin Yun shook his head and said, "Of course we’re not in danger, it’s just inconvenient to start a conflict, that’s all."

The Flower Fairy and Lin Yu were both his own people, and Dongfang Hongyue was secretly hiding nearby; they all knew that Lin Yun needed to leverage Snow Maiden’s power to become emperor, so naturally, they wouldn’t really hurt Snow Maiden.

It was just that Lin Yun didn’t want these trump cards exposed; Dongfang Hongyue showed no signs of association with them, and Lin Yu did not make a move outright either.

Only the Flower Fairy, who was having a hard time getting by in the Central Plains, could behave so brazenly.

"Let’s wait a bit longer for the allied forces I’d turned earlier."

"Allied forces?"

Snow Maiden was puzzled, but soon she saw the Flower Fairy catching up. The Flower Fairy couldn’t stop in time and plowed right into Lin Yun’s arms; Lin Yun casually tossed Jiang Chenyu aside and caught the Flower Fairy.

The Flower Fairy hugged Lin Yun happily. To her, life was full of suffering, but at least she had Lin Yun to warm her.

They looked sweet together, but the atmosphere around them was a bit off.

Snow Maiden stared daggers at the Flower Fairy, looking downright murderous.

Jiang Chenyu was petting a fish while giving Lin Yun a look of deep resentment.

The heartless man! As soon as the Flower Fairy appeared, he threw her into the water!

It was just too much!

To be fair, Lin Yun hadn’t done it on purpose; he had tossed Jiang Chenyu toward Snow Maiden, thinking she would catch her.

However, Snow Maiden instinctively dodged, and as a result, Jiang Chenyu ended up in the water.

Although she had wanted to swim in the river herself, there was a huge difference between going by herself and being thrown in by someone else.

Now, she clung to Long Xiaoman, her mood somber.

"People from the Guanghan Palace are coming after us; they want to take my master back," the Flower Fairy said after cuddling Lin Yun for a bit, swiftly bringing up the serious matter at hand.

Feeling Snow Maiden’s intense gaze and noticing Jiang Chenyu’s resentful eyes, Lin Yun quickly fished Jiang Chenyu out of the water.

Harem gatherings sometimes do cause problems.

Not everyone can accept the presence of others, and right now, these three individuals were incompatible with each other.

And if it were just the Flower Fairy and Lin Yu, perhaps...

Lin Yun harbored a slightly wicked thought in his heart — two sisters, known as the peerless double pride of the jianghu, if they were both with him at the same time...

"Let’s get moving! We’ll deal with the pursuers after we’ve dodged them," he said.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoman couldn’t help but blow another bubble.

Couldn’t they let the fish rest for a bit?

"Right, there’s no rope tied to me in the water, why don’t I just run away?" Long Xiaoman suddenly remembered how fast she was; she could definitely escape on her own!

However, the next second, a rope lassoed her.

"Thanks for the reminder," Lin Yun said.

Long Xiaoman: "..."

She felt miserable and was on the verge of tears.

Channeling her frustration into strength, she still swam towards the sea like lightning.

Lin Yun analyzed the reasons why Jiang Chenyu couldn’t go back to the Guanghan Palace.

"If you come with us, you’ll be treated only as a captive, and we will protect your safety. But if you go back to Guanghan Palace with your current condition, it probably won’t be long before someone secretly schemes against you," he pointed out. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

With just a hint, Jiang Chenyu understood.

At first, upon hearing that people from Guanghan Palace were on her trail, she had thought of returning to the palace; after all, being close to the source usually brings advantages, and Guanghan Palace was the best place to cultivate the Taiyin True Scripture. Now that the Flower Fairy wouldn’t kill her, returning to the palace might be more appropriate for cultivation.

However, even though Lin Yun hadn’t spelled it out clearly, upon reflection, Jiang Chenyu realized that indeed she was in great danger.

Without her power, she couldn’t dominate the scene. It was entirely possible for Yue Ningshuang to usurp her position. Although she had considerable prestige in Guanghan Palace, if Yue Ningshuang schemed against her and she died, it would be a terrible loss.

He was right; she had to stick with Lin Yun.

Hearing this, Snow Maiden expressed her confusion: "Didn’t you say you captured her just to sell for money? Why are you now protecting her?"

It must be said that although Snow Maiden was a bit simple, her intelligence was not low when it came to catching cheaters.

This question also happened to be what Flower Fairy wanted to ask. Both of them stared intently at Lin Yun, while Jiang Chenyu stood by his side with an innocent face, appearing weak, pitiful, and helpless.

What diabolical thoughts could a salted fish have?

She was merely showing her dependence on Lin Yun, prompting Lin Yun’s ladies to become jealous and quarrel over him—it was all just for show.

Hmph, let them throw her into the water, let them spank her; she would exact her revenge, morning till night!

Jiang Chenyu thought viciously, yet her smile grew ever more radiant.

Women are born to engage in palace intrigue, and even Jiang Chenyu, who had lived for five hundred years without ever being in a relationship, was well-versed in the art of struggle.

"This is very simple, she is still the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace but no longer has the corresponding strength. This way, if we send her back, whether she abdicates or becomes a puppet Palace Master, the issues of Guanghan Palace will soon be resolved."

"On the contrary, if we take her back to the Grassland, this card that can threaten Guanghan Palace will always be in our hands. Moreover, Guanghan Palace will split into two factions, one faction will want to save her, while the other will not want her to return. With the factions fighting among themselves, the Sect’s strength will inevitably decline, making our invasion of the Central Plains all the easier."

Lin Yun analyzed everything, but the Snow Maiden only understood the last sentence.

"Ah Yun is so amazing!"

Even though she didn’t understand, it didn’t stop her from praising Lin Yun.

Jiang Chenyu, however, sensed something off.

Well, aren’t you supposed to be undercover? How come you’re now scheming to counterattack the Central Plains?

For a moment, Jiang Chenyu was not quite sure about Lin Yun’s allegiance.

"But if I go to the Grassland, I won’t be able to recover my cultivation level!"

The Grassland is shrouded in a certain power that doesn’t allow Central Plains Cultivators to fully exhibit their combat strength on the Grassland to say nothing of cultivating properly.

"You’re just a captive, why should we let you recover your cultivation level?"

Lin Yun said seriously, which made Jiang Chenyu feel insecure.

She regarded Lin Yun as her man, but he treated her as a captive?

This...

Jiang Chenyu’s eyes widened, feeling sad and wanting to cry.

Not until Lin Yun also winked at her did she relax, but then she felt annoyed. Lin Yun didn’t even give her a heads-up and almost scared her to death.

"Stop, thief! Let go of my Master!"

No sooner had Lin Yun finished speaking than he heard a shout. Turning around, he saw the Cloud Boat of Guanghan Palace.

The Flower Fairy was also taken aback, realizing she had been careless with the steering just now.

The Cloud Boat was swift, which was why Gu Qingmeng managed to catch up.

Next, what troubled the Flower Fairy even more was that Gu Qingmeng was also quite attractive. If Lin Yun took a fancy to her, it wouldn’t be good...

Anyway, it just wouldn’t do.

Even though Gu Qingmeng always said she hated men, Lin Yun was different.

If Gu Qingmeng’s worldly desires were stirred up by Lin Yun, the Flower Fairy would have one more rival in love.

"Get lost!"

The Flower Fairy took out her fan, ready to fan away both the person and the boat. But Jiang Chenyu pulled out a Jade Talisman from her bosom and threw it out.

"Qingmeng, Guanghan Palace is now in your hands!"

Jiang Chenyu did not want Lin Yun’s words to come true. She did not want to see Guanghan Palace decline due to infighting, which is why she offered her own Palace Master’s Jade Talisman.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but be curious.

Where was that thing hidden? I’ve searched everywhere inside and out!

Gu Qingmeng caught the Jade Talisman reflexively and looked at the captive Jiang Chenyu with tears in her eyes. The next second, she was fanned away.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Perfect, the infighting in Guanghan Palace is going to get even worse now."

Jiang Chenyu: "???"

"If I’m not mistaken, that person came to save you. That faction is your staunch supporter, and those with other intentions must have significant power, usually just below you and above thousands. The Jade Talisman you’ve given out will perfectly balance the power between both sides."

As everyone knows, in order for an internal struggle to happen, if one side is too powerful, there simply won’t be a fight. The more evenly matched the strength, the fiercer the struggle will be, because neither side dares to back down easily for fear of a retreat leading to continuous concessions.

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

I’ve been rash.

It seems like I’ve been played by Lin Yun.

"Did you say all that on purpose just now?"

"How could I? It’s all a coincidence."

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

I don’t believe you, you’re up to no good!

"Sister, while the Imperial Court’s forces are mobilizing, we should just raid Pearl Island without any further preparation."

Lin Yun knew that once things calmed down, the Snow Maiden would definitely ask why the Flower Fairy had suddenly become an ally.

He had the answer ready, but he didn’t want to keep deceiving the Snow Maiden, so he decided to divert her attention.

"You guys want to raid Pearl Island?"

Jiang Chenyu fully believed that Lin Yun had gone deep undercover and become one of the other side. What kind of undercover operation involves leading the Grassland People to raid Pearl Island?

The Flower Fairy heard this and was overjoyed, saying, "That’s a great idea! I know Pearl Island’s defenses and how to break through them. If we act together, it will take at least an hour for the reinforcements to respond."

A large portion of Pearl Island’s wealth had been under the Flower Fairy’s control before. Now, she was leading Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden to raid it, which naturally would be easy.

Primarily because the assets she had controlled before were in the name of Guanghan Palace, and now that she had left Guanghan Palace, Pearl Island’s industries didn’t have time to transfer their assets, so the only option was to take them by force.

Day and night you guard, but the insider traitor is hard to prevent.

Lin Yun was pleasantly surprised. He had wanted to gather intelligence before, but now he was thinking of a direct approach, and the best information had landed right in his hands.

"Brilliant!"

Jiang Chenyu: "..."

It seems I’ve really boarded a ship of thieves...
