The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 598 - 106 I Sell Myself

Lin Yun’s rejection came so decisively that Yuan Zihe, who was acting shy, couldn’t adjust her emotions in time and was left stunned on the spot.

He actually rejected her, without any hesitation.

The confidently poised Yuan Zihe suddenly felt hit by an unprecedented blow.

Am I not pretty?

At least hesitate for a moment!

Seeing Lin Yun still wearing a smile, Yuan Zihe asked somewhat unwillingly, "Why..."

"I do not need your offer of your body in exchange, treating yourself as a bargaining chip implies that aside from yourself, you have nothing else to offer, which to me, is of no value and naturally not worth my intervention."

Lin Yun intended to let this girl who offered herself realize the dangers of the Cultivation World on her own.

Don’t just offer yourself at every turn, how about something practical!

This cold and realistic statement greatly stimulated Yuan Zihe.

Because after Lin Yun’s words passed through her ears, they filtered into "you are worthless".

That’s infuriating!

Yuan Zihe’s heart filled with indignation, he actually said she was worthless?

I must make you see my charm!

Yuan Zihe made up her mind to remain by Lin Yun’s side and show him a thing or two.

To make him fall for her and then to leave him heartlessly, hmph!

At that moment, Yuan Zihe seemed to have forgotten that she had come to steal.

She bravely maintained her facade, blinking back tears without crying, yet her gaze was resolute as she looked at Lin Yun, "How do you know I have nothing else to offer? ’Fortune may ebb and flow, never belittle the young and poor!’"

Upon hearing this famous quote, Lin Yun was immediately startled.

Goodness, just this quote alone was enough for him to seriously regard Yuan Zihe.

Yuan Zihe then continued, "I can trade a big secret I know for an intervention on your part."

As she said this, Yuan Zihe was looking at Bai Jiaojiao.

This indicated she was interested in Bai Jiaojiao’s abilities and was only negotiating with Lin Yun.

This attitude aimed to ignite Lin Yun’s competitive spirit.

Although his relationship with Bai Jiaojiao was profound, could a man accept a woman stronger than himself?

He might say he doesn’t mind, but surely there would be a grudge in his heart.

To conquer Lin Yun, the first step was to catch his attention, to elicit a negative emotion in him, which naturally would be more memorable than a positive one.

Yuan Zihe, though she had never been in love, had read extensively. Azure Dragon Island had many strange love stories, and having read plenty of them, Yuan Zihe was confident that she now had master-level expertise in matters of love.

Now, she initiated her strategy to win over Lin Yun using her wisdom.

"What secret?"

Lin Yun casually touched the fish, causing Long Xiaoman to be utterly shocked on the spot.

She’s just a fish!

Was Lin Yun not even going to spare her?

But Long Xiaoman knew how dreadful Lin Yun could be; for now, it was only a touch, but she had relatively thick scales. It would be bad if Lin Yun wanted to eat the fish.

So, she continued to play dead, like a salted fish that had given up struggling.

Yuan Zihe looked at Lin Yun defiantly, speaking earnestly, "I can only say it has to do with the battle of the Four Kings. If you understand, there’s no need for me to elaborate on the significance of this secret. If you don’t, I cannot say more.

Getting involved might not be good for you. But you could sell this secret to someone in need."

"The battle of the Four Kings!?"

Lin Yun was indeed shocked; he did not expect Yuan Zihe, a seemingly ordinary fisherwoman, to know something related to the battle of the Four Kings.

Clearly, her identity is complicated!

But seeing that she wasn’t afraid to meet his gaze, Lin Yun didn’t let his thoughts run wild; he decided to give Yuan Zihe a chance to prove herself. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"May I ask for your name, miss, and from where do you come?"

Asking this question showed that Lin Yun was taking the matter seriously.

Yuan Zihe then provided the name she had long prepared.

"My family name is He, given name Caimei, from Haizhou."

"Haizhou... That place is now occupied by that chuunibyou teenager..."

Lin Yun muttered softly, though everyone else could hear him.

Even though she didn’t know what a chuunibyou teenager meant, Yuan Zihe could sense that Lin Yun was making fun of her brother.

Hmph, wait until I steal your Divine Artifact, and see how my brother deals with you!

Yuan Zihe had already imagined the scene where she’d hang Lin Yun up and flog him, herself holding a whip and stepping on Lin Yun’s face with her bare foot...

Um, something is weird about this imagery.

Yuan Zihe dared not let her thoughts wander further and continued with her fabricated identity: "My family was once respected in Haizhou, but after the Yuan Family took over, we clashed with them frequently. It didn’t take long for them to swallow up our family business, and we were forced to flee. During our escape, I became separated from my family."

This information could be verified. There indeed was a wealthy family in Haizhou with the surname He, who, used to being influential in the region, probably lost their minds and tried using the old rules to force the Yuan Family to listen to the locals.

In the He family’s restaurant, a member of the Yuan Family was accused of eating two bowls of noodles instead of one and not paying for them, which attracted a large crowd of ignorant onlookers who denounced the Yuan Family.

What followed was...

The He family disappeared, and the others in Haizhou started behaving.

The Yuan Family were here for war, and while they didn’t intend to wreak total havoc, they weren’t pushovers either.

No matter what the truth was at the time, even if a member of the Yuan Family really did dine and dash, the outcome would have been the same.

Might makes right.

Far away in the Central Plains, thousands of miles distant, Yuan Zihe also kept up-to-date with the changes in Haizhou, so the identities she could assume were all foolproof.

Lin Yun didn’t ponder too much on her identity but simply asked, "Are you looking for my help to take revenge, or to find your lost family members?"

"Although I’d very much like to take revenge, the lives of my surviving family are more important. If you agree to help, I will share with you a secret I know."

Yuan Zihe was well aware that a vague piece of information wouldn’t be enough security; it would be troublesome if Lin Yun refused.

Therefore, the terms had to be relatively more favorable for Lin Yun.

Lin Yun responded, "Aren’t you afraid that I might agree insincerely and then go back on my word?"

"If that’s the case, then I suppose I’ve trusted the wrong person!"

Yuan Zihe adopted the attitude of someone who firmly believed Lin Yun was a good person. Lin Yun observed her for a while and then nodded, saying, "Then speak. I agree to your terms."

Yuan Zihe finally revealed a joyful smile.

Excellent, the moment you agree to listen to my secret, you’ve fallen into my trap!

"We have learned that the Yuan Family that suddenly appeared invaded Haizhou due to the so-called ’War of the Four Kings.’ They claim to be descendants of the Sea-King."

"That’s not a secret; we all know that," Lin Yun said.

Yuan Zihe: "..."

She realized that these were things Yuan Zidan had already mentioned.

My foolish brother, completely unaware of the value of intelligence, has blurted out everything.

Nevertheless, he only shared so much. Yuan Zihe knew far more than what he had disclosed.

"I know that the Yuan Family head, Yuan Zidan, has a sister whom he values greatly. Capturing her would allow anyone to coerce Yuan Zidan into doing anything."

Seagrass, who had only just recovered a bit of vitality from the cobblestone, was stunned on the spot upon hearing this.

My master, are you so ruthless as to sell out even yourself?
