The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 420 - 410 Wandering Travel

Lin Yun had not expected Zhen Li to be even more straightforward than he had imagined.

This forthright nature did not bother Lin Yun, but his silence for a while led Zhen Li to mistakenly think she had been rude, and she quickly said, "Sorry, I accidentally asked something I shouldn’t have."

Zhen Li simply felt that this Daoist Shi Jian also had a sense of familiarity, and as they chatted, she forgot what could be asked and what could not.

She was just curious, as the contest for the cauldron was a game among the major forces—someone like Shi Jian who had to conceal his identity would not find much significance in it.

But since Shi Jian had come, he must have his reasons; driven by curiosity, she had asked him about it.

After asking, she realized her mistake and hastily apologized.

However, to Lin Yun, this seemed somewhat pretentious.

"I hadn’t expected someone could act so smoothly and naturally, this individual’s acting skills are no less than mine," he thought.

If acting had levels, then the Daoist nun Zhen Li had undoubtedly reached the very top, unlike Zhao Lingyu, who was amateurishly terrible.

Lin Yun also put on his utmost alertness and said, "There’s no need for apologies, there is nothing that can’t be said. I’ve come here only to find someone. Once I find them, I will leave."

Since the other party already knew of his identity, Lin Yun simply revealed his purpose.

"Oh? Whom is the Daoist friend looking for? I’ve seen many people while guarding the mountain; perhaps I can help you!"

To make fishing for information sound so natural, she’s an expert!

Lin Yun inwardly braced himself; he could say that he was looking for someone, but he must not expose Snow Maiden’s existence. It was unclear whether Zhen Li could be trusted—if he revealed Snow Maiden’s movements and she reported them to the elders at Taiqing Daoist Temple, Snow Maiden would be in danger.

Last time Snow Maiden came to the Central Plains, with Fulong by her side, she was completely safe, but this time she had nothing, and Lin Yun had become a target. He’d even lost Jiang Chenyu, whom he could have used as a hostage.

If only he had known, he would have kept her by his side at all times. When not in trouble, he could, well, clear his throat, and when in trouble, she could be used as a hostage.

Regrettably, given the urgent situation at the time, and considering that he might have to fight a tough battle in the Grassland, carrying Jiang Chenyu would have been very inconvenient, so he had left her behind.

Who would have thought that as soon as he ran off to the Grassland, the Grand Shaman had lured Snow Maiden back to the Central Plains?

What a pain!

Without the maid, he’d indeed lost an amulet of protection.

"There’s no need. Making a big fuss wouldn’t benefit either of us, and I suppose the Daoist friend wouldn’t want to make things difficult for us, right?"

Lin Yun’s words carried an implicit threat. Zhen Li felt Lin Yun’s suspicion but didn’t get angry. She saw herself as a tamer, and this Daoist Shi Jian, lacking trust in others, was like a wild beast that could easily get riled up.

Since she wanted to make an acquaintance of Lin Yun, she naturally had to make him believe her.

"I understand. Rest assured, my Daoist friend, I will absolutely not speak carelessly," she said with a sweet smile.

Lin Yun: "..."

For a moment, he truly thought the young Daoist nun Zhen Li’s smile was very sweet.

But the next second, he felt real terror.

Wasn’t this just like him?

Thinking of how he had repeatedly used his smile to sway Fang Yu, to sway Snow Maiden, Lin Yun suddenly realized that what goes around comes around, and as the way of the Heavenly Dao goes, if you don’t believe, just look up—Cangtian spares no one.

Could this young Daoist nun Zhen Li be his tribulation?

Under the light veil of his sheltering hat, Lin Yun still used a deep voice to ask, "Why do you wish to help me?"

Having heard this question again, Zhen Li knew that it was no longer appropriate to insist that he was a gentleman. At this time, lies would only make Shi Jian lose trust in her.

Zhen Li simply told the truth, "Actually, it’s because of a feeling. This feeling, I only ever experienced it with that Lin Yun before. At that time, I even worried that my fondness for him was just because he was good-looking, but after meeting you today, I realized that there’s indeed a natural attraction between people."

Lin Yun: "..."

She had genuinely exposed her feelings, and fortunately, Zhen Li could express it as if she hadn’t noticed anything, even playing along with his act!

Without exposing her, Lin Yun was happy to continue the performance.

But many thoughts started to form in Lin Yun’s mind.

Many people felt a sense of kinship toward him, like Dongfang Hongyue for example. She did not dare to admit it herself, but Lin Yun noticed it. How quickly they got together, and how quickly Dongfang Hongyue grew fond of him, it must be related to his constitution.

Then Lin Yu liked him, perhaps that was also because of his constitution.

For this, Lin Yun even felt a bit down. How to say it, it’s like suddenly knowing these girls might not love him, but rather like him just because he is handsome.

Fortunately, Lin Yun was not one to brood over things. No matter the reason others liked him, the result was already this way, so why care so much about the reason.

Being charmed by him, being struck by his looks, and being seduced by his various maneuvers, the end result is the same!

But not all girls fell for his charm. According to Lin Yun’s secret observations, those who were suspected of being charmed included Lin Yu, Flower Fairy, Dongfang Hongyue, and Snow Maiden.

These four people all had their peculiarities, yet none of them said it outright, while Zhen Li was direct from the beginning, feeling an affinity for Lin Yun.

Doesn’t this also imply that Zhen Li is not ordinary?

Lin Yun pondered secretly for a while and felt that he was nearing the truth.

At least, could she also have some kind of Immortal Body?

And could this lead to another law, that Immortal Bodies are attracted to each other?

Lin Yun began to entertain some strange speculations.

During their conversation, the two reached an empty space halfway up the mountain. Zhen Li hurriedly introduced it, "This is the Yuqing Platform, where the grand summit meeting will be held in two days. Many from the major Sects will surely come, and it may become so crowded here that there’s no room to stand. If you’re looking for someone, come with me!"

With that, Zhen Li started jogging ahead. Her movements were graceful, as if she were strolling leisurely in a garden, fluttering like a butterfly.

Lin Yun easily kept up, but couldn’t help complimenting, "What an impressive technique."

Zhen Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "This is "Carefree Wander". I’ve only just started learning it not long ago, it’s more flash than substance, you must find it amusing."

"Carefree Wander? What a lovely name."

Lin Yun said, and suddenly he began to recite, "In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, its name is Kun, the Kun is so large..."

"Eh? How do you know Carefree Wander?"

Zhen Li was utterly astonished; she began to wildly speculate.

Carefree Wander was a closely guarded secret of the Taiqing Daoist Temple, and only the Core Disciples were allowed to learn it. It also could not be taught to others without permission. If any of the techniques were ever leaked, the consequences would be very severe.

So far, no Taiqing Daoist Temple techniques had been leaked.

Could it be that this Daoist Shi Jian was one of our Taiqing Daoist Temple’s own?

And moreover, he was a renegade?

For a moment, Zhen Li imagined all sorts of possibilities.

However, at this time, Lin Yun was no less shocked than she was...
