The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 463 - 453 Agreement

The pure-hearted Zhen Li only felt that Jiang Chenyu was amiss but couldn’t figure out what specifically was wrong.

Lin Yun did not want to waste time with trivialities. After Dongfang Hongyue ended the call in a fit of anger, Lin Yun considered two possibilities.

One was that she left in a huff, waiting for Lin Yun to come and coax her.

Women, after all, always have those few days when they need to be pampered.

The second possibility was that an enraged Dongfang Hongyue would come to him directly, in which case, he’d still have to coax her.

Overall, no matter the situation, Lin Yun needed to go and appease Dongfang Hongyue. However, because of Dongfang Hongyue’s behavior, the difficulty of his task would vary.

Alas, this is the trouble with having too many women around.

Can’t everyone just get along and be friends under one quilt?

In order to appease Dongfang Hongyue, of course, Lin Yun had to first take care of Zhen Li.

After all, he had promised Yuxuan, so Lin Yun couldn’t just abandon Zhen Li.

"I’ve come to bid you farewell, the matters at the Taiqing Daoist Temple have more or less settled."

As soon as Lin Yun spoke, the confused Zhen Li perked up.

She had not properly spent time with Lin Yun and did not expect their parting to come so abruptly.

She felt reluctant, but Zhen Li had no reason to keep Lin Yun from leaving.

In the end, Zhen Li could only sigh, trying to appear indifferent, she asked, "The dust has settled? How were things resolved?"

"The Demon Clan Leader fled, and your master is dead."

"!"

Zhen Li’s eyes widened instantly.

The news was so sudden that Zhen Li was stunned for a moment, suspecting she had heard wrong.

"What did you just say? My master?"

Lin Yun nodded.

He knew Zhen Li might find it hard to believe, but that was indeed the case.

Holding Yuxuan’s clothes, Lin Yun passed them to Zhen Li, saying, "These are the relics the Daoist left behind; it’s better that they stay with you."

Lin Yun originally planned to set up a ceremonial tomb for Yuxuan on Yuqing Mountain, he had even thought of an epitaph.

Fallen flowers are not heartless things, for they turn into nurturing soil to protect the blossoming ones.

Watching Yuxuan become the Spirit Rain that washed away the aftereffects from Netherland, Lin Yun was reminded of this poem.

After giving it some thought, he still felt that Yuxuan’s belongings should be handed over to those from the Taiqing Daoist Temple.

Giving them to Zhen Li was appropriate as well.

Zhen Li tremblingly took the Taoist robes from Lin Yun’s hands and looked them over carefully before finally confirming that it was indeed her master’s robe.

"Master..."

With the garment in her hands, tears fell from Zhen Li’s eyes.

Lin Yun stood to the side, wanting to say something comforting. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he closed it.

It’s better not to utter words of restraint; let her cry for a while.

"How did my master die?"

By now, everyone knew a little bit of information, except for Zhen Li who remained confused and uninformed.

She was clueless from the beginning to the end, and coincidentally, Lin Yun knew the most.

It seemed Yuxuan schemed against the Demon Clan Leader for the remnants of the Phantom of the Earth Scripture, causing her to open the rift, and then Yuxuan went to the Netherland.

Clearly, it was a very risky move, and exactly how Yuxuan carried it out remained unknown. In the end, although he succeeded and escaped, he repaired the rift shortly before he died.

Most likely, he had sustained severe injuries in the Netherland.

For a powerful cultivator like Yuxuan, even venturing into the Netherland meant instant death. Lin Yun also felt a chill thinking about it. That accursed place, I definitely do not want to go there!

When replying to Zhen Li, Lin Yun slightly filtered his words.

He couldn’t just say that Yuxuan died while snatching a treasure and got killed in the aftermath.

"Your master took a risk in exploring the Great Dao to find a way forward for human cultivators, venturing into the Netherworld Realm. After an arduous journey, he finally returned from the Netherland, but the rift between the two worlds had also caused great damage to this world. To prevent the gap from widening further, the Daoist exhausted his strength to seal the crack.

Afterwards, he transformed into Spirit Rain, purging the influence of the Netherland, restoring vitality to the land."

What he said was factual, without lies, but Lin Yun embellished the truth, making it clear to Zhen Li that her master died a heroic and honorable death.

Zhen Li clutched Yuxuan’s Taoist robe in agony, her voice filled with sorrow, "Thank you for telling me this. I also need to return to the Sect now."

She was not far from the Taiqing Daoist Temple. Even though Zhen Li had a soft spot for Lin Yun, now that she knew her master had died, all she wanted was to return to the Taiqing Daoist Temple as soon as possible to handle Yuxuan’s affairs.

It was a fitting moment for her and Lin Yun to say their goodbyes.

Lin Yun watched her fragile yet determined demeanor, recalling what Yuxuan told him—the hope of the human race was on him and Zhen Li, hoping he would take good care of her.

Zhen Li’s cultivation level was not high at all, and she hadn’t properly cultivated on a daily basis. How was she supposed to save the world?

Lin Yun felt this task should be carried by two people together.

"Your master left something with me, but your current cultivation level is too low, so I cannot give it to you now. When you reach the Heart Guarding Realm, come find me again!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Li looked up, her sorrow somewhat lessened by Lin Yun’s sincere face.

Lin Yun was surely comforting her, offering encouragement.

It was a delicate show of concern, but it still moved Zhen Li.

She forced a smile and firmly said, "I will come to find you as soon as possible."

Uttering those words, she felt a bashfulness within her heart. It was meant to be an agreement to retrieve her master’s belonging, but it now resembled an intimate promise between them.

Zhen Li secretly blushed, while Lin Yun showed a gratified smile.

If saving the world really does require a teammate, having a girl as a partner isn’t too bad.

Of course, don’t set me up, or I’ll cuss you out just the same, girl.

The two had different ideas and, after parting ways, Lin Yun began to ponder how he should arrange matters for Jiang Chenyu.

He could take her to the grasslands, but then the Snow Maiden would get jealous.

The most suitable place for Jiang Chenyu would still be Purple Cloud Mountain.

Now in the Central Plains, the strongest was the Shenxiao Sect, and the sword he gave to Fang Yu was also powerful, equipping her with it was like adding wings to a tiger.

Jiang Chenyu was Fang Yu’s close friend, so Fang Yu would take good care of her.

"Zhen Li seems quite pretty too."

Jiang Chenyu, watching Zhen Li’s retreating figure, said with a sour tone.

Lin Yun glanced sideways, a mere salted fish daring to be jealous?

"Didn’t I fill you up just now?"

Lin Yun’s retort came so crisply and directly that Jiang Chenyu instantly became flustered, her cheeks reddening as she waved her hands and said, "I’m full, I’m full."

After saying this, she realized her response was indecent and wanted to correct herself, but Lin Yun quickly seized on it, teasingly said, "Next time you crave something, you can just call me."

"I certainly won’t!"

Jiang Chenyu punched Lin Yun a few times in embarrassment, her bashful fists clearly playing coy.

Lin Yun did want to ’charge into battle’ again, but, considering he had to go placate Dongfang Hongyue soon, he had to conserve his energy.

So he walked leading Snowstep, allowing Jiang Chenyu to sit on the horse alone.

Lucky for him that his stamina was running low, for not long after Lin Yun led the horse, they ran into Fang Yu and Zhao Lingyu.

Fang Yu was originally pursuing Wu Xin, but unfortunately, she followed the wrong person; Dongfang Hongyue and Hu Yuling both were thinking about escape, and she ended up catching nothing.

Fang Yu had no choice but to turn back, and only then did she hear about Lin Yun abducting Jiang Chenyu, and even worse, that there was evidence of Lin Yun colluding with the Demon Race.

Good lord, in just a blink, my disciple has racked up another charge?

She trusted Lin Yun, but still hoped he would stay out of trouble and stop causing issues.

Learning that Lin Yun was forced onto Yuqing Mountain by Liu Ji, Fang Yu was also very angry, swearing that if anything happened to Lin Yun, she would avenge him fiercely!

But she had great trust in Lin Yun, believing he could turn danger into safety, which is why she waited for him at the exit of the Three Sacred Mountain Range.

All other paths had only one way, only here was the must-pass route for entering or exiting, unless someone used an escape technique.

Indeed, she ended up waiting for Lin Yun.

It was fortunate, because if she hadn’t waited here and instead, had climbed the mountain...

Of course, she wouldn’t have seen anything but a blanket of Great Mist.

Even though Lin Yun liked the thrill, he didn’t actually want to be seen; he just wanted to create an outdoor atmosphere.

Seeing Lin Yun again, Fang Yu acted very cold.

After all, they were in public, and even though only her disciple and Jiang Chenyu were present, Fang Yu didn’t want to reveal their relationship just yet.

Fang Yu used to not handle matters tactfully, for she didn’t need to be too cautious, but now, she had many more considerations and knew what to do in such moments.

"Leave the person here."

Fang Yu said coldly.

Lin Yun, seeing her all serious, couldn’t help but snicker inside.

That night, your expression was certainly not like this!

Cool and aloof in front of others, yet coquettish in private, such a master is truly lovable.

Lin Yun longed to tease Fang Yu there and then, but the timing was not right.

Jiang Chenyu was also tactful, jumping down from the horse by herself and glancing at Lin Yun, she knew she couldn’t stay too long with him, recalling the sweetness of just now, she found herself somewhat reluctant to part.

After a hearty meal, who knew how long she would go hungry next time!

This thought suddenly popped into Jiang Chenyu’s mind, causing her cheeks to burn.

What was wrong with her, how could she think of such vulgar phrases...

Flustered, she hurried back to Fang Yu’s side, acting obedient like a wife who had been wronged.

Since Jiang Chenyu hadn’t been gone for long and her clothes were still intact, Fang Yu finally felt relieved.

Although Lin Yun sometimes went too far, his character was still trustworthy.

"Let’s go."

Now that Lin Yun was implicated with the Demon Race, Fang Yu and Zhao Lingyu shouldn’t be seen as too friendly with him in public, so this encounter was brief.

Zhao Lingyu also felt a bit regretful; she hadn’t even spoken a word with Lin Yun!

Feeling helpless, she mounted the back of Lightning Diao and soared away in a flash.

"Did Lin Yun bully you?"

On the bird’s back, Fang Yu asked Jiang Chenyu with concern.

"No, not at all."

Jiang Chenyu replied guiltily.

"That’s good, even though Lin Yun has left the sect, he’ll still listen to me. If he bullies you, I’ll discipline him for you."

The naïve Fang Yu was reassured, but the tea master Zhao Lingyu could smell something fishy.

That expression, definitely hiding something...
