The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 678 - 186: The Snipe and The Clam Fight, Xiao Qing Benefits
Purple Cloud Mountain, Shenxiao Sect, Fang Yu’s room was now crowded with high-ranking individuals.
Fang Yu had first informed Lin Yu, but soon after, she had summoned all the relevant people.
As for the Snow Maiden, she did not send a message. For one, they didn’t have a way to contact each other, and for another, they were at least openly enemies.
When the Flower Fairy arrived quietly, everyone else was already there.
Dongfang Hongyue sat on the edge of the bed, Jiang Chenyu stood to the side, Lin Yu was silent, Fang Yu’s face showed worry, but Bai Jiaojiao was nowhere to be seen.
"What’s going on here?"
The Flower Fairy saw Lin Yun lying on the bed, the expressions on everyone’s faces were grim, and her heart sank.
Jiang Chenyu glanced at this disciple of days past and did not speak. It was Lin Yu who explained to her, "He’s asleep now. Bai Jiaojiao said she had seen this situation in the Dream Mirage Divine Realm before, and has now gone out to look for a cat.
We can only wait for him to wake up, or for Jiaojiao to return."
"???"
Why look for a cat for no reason?
The more the Flower Fairy heard, the more confused she became.
During her frenzied cultivation in the Demon Tribe’s secret realm, too many things had happened in the Central Plains.
The Flower Fairy had no idea how many major events Lin Yun had been involved in during this time.
Only after hearing the detailed explanation from Lin Yu did she learn that Lin Yun had once experienced a technique called the Dream-Returning Celestial Wander Technique, and this time the situation was exactly the same as the last. During the previous Divine Realm Invaders’ infiltration, a cat was taken away by Lin Yun, but later that cat had escaped.
"Then what are we waiting for here? Let’s look for the cat together!"
Although it might not be the correct solution, it was the only one at present.
Fang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "You’re right. However, I need to consult with Her Majesty first."
Mobilizing the power of the sect or the nation to look for the cat would likely result in a quick find, whether it was the useful divine cat or just an ordinary cat, catching it was the right move.
But this required Zhao Lingyu’s help.
Although she and Lin Yu had supported Zhao Lingyu to rise to power, Zhao Lingyu herself had also made great efforts. Now she truly was the Empress, and one could not overstep one’s authority.
"Lin Yun also needs someone to take care of him. We can’t all go looking for the cat."
Dongfang Hongyue, seeing people ready to take action, added a reminder.
Lin Yun was completely defenseless now. If someone discovered him and decided to finish him with a single blow, it would be a tragic mistake.
"He can stay with me."
Fang Yu immediately made her stance clear, but Dongfang Hongyue directly refused, "Shenxiao Sect is part of the Righteous Path, and Lin Yun has already been labeled as a demonic outsider. He cannot stay with you. What if some hot-headed Shenxiao Sect disciple sees him and wants to slay the demon to eradicate evil, ruining your reputation? It is better that I take him back to Sunblaze Palace!"
Dongfang Hongyue’s considerations were also quite logical, but the others were hardly willing to give in.
"Is your cultivation level sufficient to protect Lin Yun? Better let him come back with me to the Demon Tribe. With me there, no demon will be able to hurt him."
Dongfang Hongyue: "..."
How annoying!
Wasn’t this Flower Fairy someone who could be effortlessly hung up and beaten before, a whole two major cultivation realms behind?
Yet, after her disappearance and return, she had surprisingly surpassed her by an entire realm. Being cornered by someone over cultivation level, Dongfang Hongyue nearly lost her composure and almost broke down.
"This is not appropriate. The territories of the Human Race are now almost entirely under our control, without strong enemies, and we can provide support at any time. The Demon Tribe is different."
The Flower Fairy’s desire to take Lin Yun away was certainly not agreed upon by the others, and Lin Yu shed no sisterly affection in this case.
"If you’re worried, I can find a secluded place to settle Lin Yun."
"Each of you is a leader of your domain, with important affairs to attend to. Let me do it!"
Bai Jiaojiao had returned briefly, just in time to hear them disputing over Lin Yun’s custody.
Good heavens, trying to steal my home while I’m away?
Then I definitely can’t let you!
What is palace intrigue?
When Lin Yun awakens, magnanimous and tolerant; when Lin Yun sleeps, surely they won’t concede an inch!
Bai Jiaojiao’s reason could be considered a trump card. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
In terms of cultivation level, Bai Jiaojiao was enough to contend with both the overpowered Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy. Most importantly, she was an idle person through and through, holding no significant position in either the Demon Tribe or the Human Race, while the others had to guard here or there, lead, or manage their sects.
In short, at the scene, there was no one who could match her.
The Flower Fairy, of course, was dissatisfied, having barely fought back to the Central Plains from the Demon Tribe through a path of carnage, reaching the status of a king. Although there was no one in the Demon Tribe who could match her combat prowess, and she had been cutting through them like slicing vegetables, it was indeed tiring after days and nights of continuous battle!
And now, before she had the chance to spend quality time with Lin Yun, she had to compete with other women for him, and the opponents were all so potent.
However, she also knew that the women here would never let her take Lin Yun back to the Demon Tribe, and she couldn’t abandon the Demon Tribe either.
Having finally achieved the status of a great king, she still harbored dreams of helping Lin Yun claim the throne. How could she give up halfway?
The Flower Fairy’s mind raced like lightning, yet before she could come up with a rebuttal, Lin Yu said, "You do have a point. However, even if you take care of Lin Yun, you cannot take him to more dangerous places. It would be best if you could stay somewhere that all of us can reach quickly."
This proposition gained the agreement of everyone but the Flower Fairy.
The requirement that they be able to reach him quickly meant they could go to Lin Yun at any time, but not the Flower Fairy.
Her territory was beyond the Flowing Sand River to the south, unless she abandoned the Demon Tribe, she would be the furthest away.
The Flower Fairy’s gaze towards Lin Yu grew much stranger.
Dear sister, you would rather entrust him to outsiders than to a close friend, won’t you?
Dongfang Hongyue immediately agreed, "Flower Fairy, you wait, I can’t beat you now, but once I break through, I’ll see if I don’t smash you to death!"
Dongfang Hongyue’s face was all smiles, but in reality, her teeth were practically crushed from clenching.
This world is really too unfair. Old seniors like her and Fang Yu, who have cultivated for the longest time and have decent talent and who also cultivate very diligently, are now becoming the weakest.
Oh, and there’s Jiang Chenyu, who’s the oldest; she’s actually the weakest of all.
Only Bai Jiaojiao, who has cultivated for a thousand years, still possesses the strength to hold down both Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy. Dongfang Hongyue deeply felt that a breakthrough was urgently needed; otherwise, she couldn’t hold her ground.
Fang Yu felt the same way.
Both representatives of the Righteous Path and the Demon Tribe felt a pathetic kinship, exchanging glances with each other, both feeling deeply empathetic.
Jiang Chenyu silently sat on the edge of the bed, the quarrel was theirs; she had nothing.
Jiang Chenyu, who did not have superior cultivation, also needed to maintain the operation of the vast Guanghan Palace. She didn’t have to worry before with the Flower Fairy’s assistance, enjoying great authority then. But now, although she still held the position of Palace Master, she no longer wielded the same authoritative power as before.
So, Jiang Chenyu settled into being a slacker.
She also thought Lin Yu’s proposal was good.
Thus, under the circumstance that only the Flower Fairy was unwilling, the responsibility of taking care of Lin Yun fell onto Bai Jiaojiao.
The Flower Fairy’s resistance was futile.
What the Flower Fairy found most outrageous was that the others, in combination with their own territories, decided to let Bai Jiaojiao settle Lin Yun in Cloud Dream Marsh.
Does no one consider my feelings?
"Aren’t you all being too bullying!" the Flower Fairy cried in anger, clearly feeling that everyone was ganging up on her.
"Little Flower, don’t misunderstand. Look at the map; only Cloud Dream Marsh is absolutely safe, surrounded by territories we control. Little Flower, it might be a bit far for you, but with your abilities, you should be able to fly there without any issue," Lin Yu said seriously. However, the Flower Fairy could see that Lin Yu was protecting against fire, theft, and even her best friend!
Dongfang Hongyue added insult to injury, "Lin Yu is right. Moreover, everyone here has been intimate with the husband; a day as a couple gives you a hundred days of grace. It’s only appropriate for us to take care of Lin Yun. As his sworn sister, you may visit him, of course, but it wouldn’t be good to risk the husband’s safety just to accommodate you."
This speech, seemingly explaining to the Flower Fairy, was actually a severe blow.
Everyone knew that although the Flower Fairy was nominally Lin Yun’s sworn sister, in reality, their relationship was rather affectionate.
But that wasn’t the focus anymore. What mattered was the seemingly casual remark by Dongfang Hongyue.
Nobody expected Dongfang Hongyue to be so fierce. For a moment, apart from Bai Jiaojiao, everyone else looked ashamed.
The Flower Fairy suddenly widened her eyes in shock, looking at the others.
Lin Yu, she knew. This sister was out of control, making an agreement to let her tease Lin Yun, but then she went ahead first, and now she was rigorously defending her position.
Hah, best friend!
But the others were too much!
Bai Jiaojiao, that shameless Dragon Maiden, was something else, but what’s the matter with Fang Yu!
Shocked, the Flower Fairy turned to Fang Yu and said, "Aren’t you Lin Yun’s Master?"
Fang Yu felt the gaze of many eyes on her and was quite embarrassed but at this moment, she couldn’t show any weakness.
"Lin Yun has strayed from the proper path and has already been expelled from my Sect, so he is not my disciple," Fang Yu stated, without the slightest flicker in her eyes, which left the Flower Fairy feeling blocked in her heart.
I suspect you expelled him from the Sect because you coveted Lin Yun’s body!
Such shame from a woman with such a figure!
The Flower Fairy had no way to deal with Fang Yu and then turned her gaze to Jiang Chenyu.
This was her own Master.
"Isn’t the Guanghan Palace supposed to require that both the Palace Master and the Saintess be pure and clean?"
Jiang Chenyu: "..."
Is this targeting me now?
"I was caught in a scheme and had no choice but to let it happen," Jiang Chenyu said, omitting that subsequent times had been voluntary, and the first time had also been initiated by her.
The Flower Fairy felt like she was about to cough up blood.
She was the first one here!
But these people, one after another, surpassed her and now claimed she was Lin Yun’s sister.
How infuriating!
"Each one of you, how shameless, getting ahead of yourselves with Lin Yun before marriage!"
With these words from the Flower Fairy, the scope of her attack covered everyone present.
This wave of enmity was pulled off quite stably.
The battle began to ignite from this.
Inside Lin Yun’s Dantian, for some unknown reason, Xiao Qing, who had fallen into a slumber, suddenly awoke. Hearing the women outside discussing the issue of Lin Yun’s custody, an inexplicable anger welled up in her heart.
The Master is mine!
A flash of light passed, and Lin Yun, who was lying on the bed, vanished in the blink of an eye...
