The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 384 - 374 Let’s Part Ways Here

The Seven Great Orthodox Schools all attended except for the Shenxiao Sect, and although the Yu Ling Sect’s proposal was unfavorable to Flower Fairy, Guanghan Palace didn’t oppose it either.

Flower Fairy had already defected from her sect, and no one knew who was targeting her, but seeing her suffer was something Guanghan Palace was happy to witness.

At that moment, aboard a ship filled with treasure, Flower Fairy expressed her doubts to Lin Yun, "We left a message on the island. Isn’t that just trying to cover things up? They won’t believe it, will they?"

"Either way, they’ll be fixating their suspicions on you. If you do nothing, they will still suspect you. Conversely, if we leave a message, it’ll only confuse them about the truth, and at least some of them will start to hesitate and wonder if you’re uninvolved in this matter."

"I see!"

Flower Fairy thought it made sense, but Snow Maiden suddenly came up with a wild idea, "Then why didn’t we write that it wasn’t Snow Maiden who stole the things?"

Lin Yun: "..."

Do you want to become a shining example of protesting too much?

"Big sis, promise me you won’t rack your brains over strategies from now on. There’s no need. We can rely on our own strength, and we don’t need to overthink."

Brainwork can dig a deeper hole than no brainwork at all, and it’s more straightforward to resolve issues with force.

"Oh."

She might not understand, but since Lin Yun was stroking her hair, Snow Maiden’s attention was drawn to his hand, and she lost interest in the trivial matters.

"What should we do next?"

Flower Fairy, who was very concerned about the close interaction between Lin Yun and Snow Maiden, refrained from voicing her discontent because Lin Yun’s identity hadn’t been exposed yet, but she interrupted because she didn’t want to watch them flirt.

"If I’m not mistaken, even if the people of the Righteous Path harbor suspicions, they’ll still declare that you are the murderer."

Lin Yun put himself in the shoes of the Righteous Path. Regardless of whether it was to lure out the snake or to stabilize public opinion, designating a suspect to divert attention would certainly be the correct move.

The annihilation of Pearl Island was a grave matter, and an explanation was needed quickly.

The perfect scapegoat was ready, and naturally, that was Flower Fairy.

You could say the opponent’s move was ruthless. It was an overt plot, leaving Lin Yun little room to maneuver. He could only leave a few words to cause confusion, but this did not change the outcome of Flower Fairy being blamed.

"You’re definitely in a precarious position now. My suggestion is for you to hide in the south for a while. With your cultivation level and your divine artifact, in this vast world, there should be no one who can threaten you."

Flower Fairy: "..."

She had thought she could stay with Lin Yun, but instead, he was sending her to the south.

Moreover, there seemed to be an implied meaning in Lin Yun’s words. Flower Fairy gave it some thought and understood.

She held the Vermilion Bird Feather Fan, which seemed to be the Divine Artifact of the King of Zhennan. Could it be that she was the future King of Zhennan?

That’s right, Lin Yun also knew this, so, by sending her to the south and saying it was to hide, was he actually passing the burden of ruling the Demon Tribe to her?

You really trust me to go and subdue the Demon Tribe all by myself!

While Flower Fairy was inwardly criticizing, she couldn’t help but smile.

"I understand."

She and Lin Yun exchanged a glance, and everything was communicated without words.

Lin Yun heaved a sigh of relief at her signal.

As expected of Flower Fairy, she never thought badly of him.

She must have understood his earnest intentions. Now, with tensions high between the Human and Demon Races, and the Central Plains holding the upper hand but not daring to cross the river to eradicate the Demon Tribe, the Demon Tribe was the safest place. Those watching her would also find it difficult to act.

Lin Yun had been making calculations for a long time. The Demon Race targeting Flower Fairy was likely because of her Exquisite Heart or her Demon Race identity, that’s all the scheming they could do. With the Exquisite Heart, Flower Fairy was essentially impervious to the Demon Race’s plots.

But with the Demon Race hidden and Flower Fairy in the open, the situation was not in her favor. It was better for Flower Fairy to hide and avoid their sharp edges.

Once they caught the Demon Race’s mistakes, it wouldn’t be too late for Flower Fairy to return.

As for not letting Flower Fairy accompany him to the Grassland, it was because hiding there wasn’t easy, and her strength would be suppressed in the Grassland.

The last point was that Flower Fairy had the bloodline of the King of Zhennan, and perhaps in the south, she would find her opportunity.

Lin Yun had her go to the south alone after weighing all these factors, and it was good that she understood.

"Since that’s settled, let’s rest at sea for the night and take you ashore tomorrow."

"Okay."

They were all somewhat tired from the journey, and though it wasn’t yet night, it was time to rest.

The ship Flower Fairy had acquired was quite large, with several cabins, and even Long Xiaoman was allotted one.

Ironically, when Long Xiaoman was first captured, she was treated as a pet, but now she had somehow become a member of the team. It’s a mystery how she managed that.

Was it because of her low profile?

Whenever everyone was discussing issues, she would stand in the corner blowing bubbles, appearing obedient.

Lin Yun casually observed her with the corner of his eye. This one’s a naive fish, assessment complete.

After Lin Yun suggested resting, everyone went to their respective rooms.

Learning from her previous lesson, Jiang Chenyu had prepared a chamber pot in her room this time.

Er, let’s not delve into that.

Lin Yun first visited Snow Maiden’s room, and the moment he entered, Flower Fairy sensed it. She quietly released her Divine Sense, wanting to eavesdrop on what Lin Yun was doing.

Of course, she knew she was more important in Lin Yun’s heart, and that his interactions with Snow Maiden were all an act.

But Snow Maiden wasn’t inferior, and what if Lin Yun ended up taking the act too far?

Lin Yun, aware that someone was secretly observing, didn’t set up a soundproof formation when he reached Snow Maiden’s room. Besides not wanting to reveal his abilities, he wanted Flower Fairy to be able to listen in.

"Big sis, have you always been curious about my relationship with Flower Fairy?"

As soon as Lin Yun spoke, both Flower Fairy and Snow Maiden became unsettled.

The Flower Fairy couldn’t help but grow suspicious, was Lin Yun not interested in playing along anymore?

He hadn’t been exposed in front of the Snow Maiden yet!

Thanks to Lin Yun’s quick escape, although many of the Righteous Path’s people recognized him, they had not been able to call out his identity in time.

Was Lin Yun planning to expose himself?

A series of doubts filled the Flower Fairy’s heart.

The Snow Maiden also nodded, she had always felt that Lin Yun didn’t seem keen on telling her, having asked several times, Lin Yun had been unable to answer.

She had thought Lin Yun did not want to answer, but here he was, coming to her proactively.

Indeed, Ah Yun has not let down my trust!

The Snow Maiden thought happily, only to hear Lin Yun say in a deep voice, "Actually, I am originally from the Central Plains."

The Snow Maiden: "..."

Hearing this, the Flower Fairy’s emotions were also complex. Finally, Lin Yun had come clean to the Snow Maiden.

This was good too, it’s not right to deceive someone forever. Now the Snow Maiden was certain to be very angry, and Lin Yun was finally going to stop his undercover work.

There was no helping it, as Lin Yun had helped the Snow Maiden escape earlier and had revealed his identity. People from the Central Plains surely thought Lin Yun had already betrayed them. Under this premise, they would certainly try to drive a wedge between Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden.

If Lin Yun didn’t clear things up before the Snow Maiden returned to the Grassland, his identity would still be exposed when they got there.

By then, it would be too late for explanations.

Now, there was still a chance to make amends.

Wait, wait, a chance to make amends?

What was Lin Yun planning to do?

At this thought, the Flower Fairy suddenly felt unsettled.

"When I came to the Grassland, it was by chance. I happened to encounter Grassland People attacking a Central Plains village, kidnapping many women. Unable to bear the sight of Central Plains women being humiliated by Grassland People, I pretended to be one of them and rescued those women from the Central Plains."

After hearing Lin Yun say this, the Snow Maiden finally understood why she had first seen Lin Yun attacking other tribes.

So, he was never actually a person from a Grassland tribe.

But the Snow Maiden found that she wasn’t very angry; instead, she felt that what Lin Yun did wasn’t wrong at all.

Braving dangers to protect his own compatriots, Ah Yun indeed was brave and kind-hearted.

"You probably know what happened after that. To prevent the Grassland from breaking through, I volunteered to go undercover in the Grassland."

As Lin Yun spoke, the Snow Maiden’s expression finally changed.

"So you mean, from the very beginning, you’ve been deceiving me? And when you called me ’sister,’ it was just to gain my trust?"

"Calling you ’sister’ was sincere."

Lin Yun took out a pearl crystal ball that he had long prepared and handed it over to the Snow Maiden.

He said with a rueful voice, "Sister, I never wanted to deceive you. Every time I lied to you, my heart ached. Now, I finally don’t have to lie to you anymore."

The Snow Maiden silently took the crystal ball, looking at the small figures cuddled up inside, which clearly depicted her and Lin Yun.

Her heart felt sweet, but as she listened to Lin Yun’s words, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen.

"I’m sorry. I know you definitely can’t accept this me, so after I escort you ashore this time, I’m going to leave."

Having said that, Lin Yun looked at the Snow Maiden reluctantly, his gaze breaking her heart a bit. In that instant, she seemed to understand the pain Lin Yun had felt by her side.

He didn’t want to lie to her but was forced to, desiring to be with her despite being an undercover agent.

The moment of truth became the moment of parting.

The Snow Maiden finally regretted it. If she had known that Ah Yun would choose to leave, she would not have asked so many questions; she now understood the accuracy of what the Book Immortal had told her.

Don’t overthink!

"Ah Yun..."

"I’m sorry."

Lin Yun said, slowly turning away.

"Don’t go."

The Snow Maiden took a step forward, grabbing the hem of Lin Yun’s clothes.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but smile.

"You don’t blame me?"

The Snow Maiden immediately looked conflicted.

Following her heart, she did not blame Lin Yun, but after all, Lin Yun was an undercover agent, had deceived her, and had killed so many Grassland People.

Moreover, he was a man from the Central Plains...

Seeing the hesitation on her face, the smile on Lin Yun’s face gradually faded to a bitter expression.

"I understand."

Lin Yun left the Snow Maiden’s room, and the hand the Snow Maiden had used to grasp Lin Yun’s clothes seemed so powerless.

"Ah Yun..."

Lin Yun did not look back. From her own room, the Flower Fairy listened to this play feeling that something was off.

Heck, shouldn’t it be the Snow Maiden who storms off feeling offended?
