The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 700 - 208 You Bully Me

Dongfang Hongyue’s abrupt question took Lin Yun and Zhen Li aback.

Lin Yun was initially stunned, but he quickly recovered.

Dongfang Hongyue was preparing for the inevitable!

Lin Yun had already seen Dongfang Hongyue’s future, knew that she would successfully leave the Netherland, and even break through to the Defiant Heavenly Realm.

The process could be described as dangerously thrilling, consistent with Dongfang Hongyue’s usual style of risk-taking. Despite the stimulating journey, the outcome always ensured her survival.

However, Lin Yun couldn’t guarantee the resolution of the Sinful Blood issue, leaving him uncertain whether Dongfang Hongyue would remain unharmed.

But knowing that his beloved was arranging affairs for after her departure, Lin Yun’s mood inevitably became heavy.

"You’re doing just fine as Sect Hierarch, why suddenly entrust this to me? I’m not Sect Hierarch material, and if I were to take the role, who knows where the Red Lotus Sect might end up."

"The Red Lotus Sect is, after all, a sect of the Demonic Path—still worried about it going astray?"

Dongfang Hongyue knew that Lin Yun was just unwilling to take on the job, their temperaments matched perfectly. Had she not seen the benefits of becoming Sect Hierarch, she wouldn’t have taken it up either.

Having been the Hierarch for some time, she had inevitably developed feelings for the Red Lotus Sect.

She might claim indifference to the direction of the Red Lotus Sect, but in her heart, she hoped Lin Yun would lead the Red Lotus Sect toward the path of righteousness.

Even though the Red Lotus Sect now seemed to operate like the Orthodox Sects, that wasn’t quite the case. A Demon Sect remains a Demon Sect; though, under Dongfang Hongyue’s leadership, its style had started to lean towards the Orthodox Sects, yet much of its foundational and mid-ranking practices still reflected the Demonic Path.

Not all the people of the Demon Sect are evil, nor are all those of the Righteous Path good, but the Righteous Path teaches adhering to one’s duty, following rules, aiding the world, and upholding justice.

On the other hand, the Demon Sect is taught to follow one’s true self, to live unrestrained, carefree, and wildly indulgent.

Thus, while the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path may not differentiate between good and evil, it’s an undeniable fact that there are more evildoers in the Demonic Path than in the Righteous Path.

Given Lin Yun’s nature, he would definitely disapprove of those who oppress the good. Handing the Red Lotus Sect over to him would give her the most peace of mind.

"You’re still young and have plenty of time. Why the hurry to find a successor?"

Lin Yun didn’t dare to speak too freely about the future for fear of causing a butterfly effect, so he could only drop hints to Dongfang Hongyue.

Unfortunately, she didn’t understand.

Right now, she just wanted Lin Yun to take over as Hierarch but couldn’t dare to reveal the real reason. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

She didn’t even say that she had no assurance when talking about breaking through her cultivation level. If Lin Yun knew about her taking such risks, he would probably stop her.

Feeling she couldn’t persuade Lin Yun, Dongfang Hongyue had to think of another method.

To win him over by seduction?

Dongfang Hongyue blushed slightly. She had never acted coquettishly towards Lin Yun before. But now, for the sake of the Red Lotus Sect, for all those Elders and Disciples who supported her, she was ready to go all out.

"Just agree to it, will you please?"

Lin Yun: "..."

Zhen Li: "..."

At this moment, Zhen Li suddenly felt like an unnecessary presence.

I should be under the ship not in it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the esteemed Leader of the Red Lotus Sect, resorting to such a method to please a man—it’s quite amusing!"

Upon hearing this taunting voice, Dongfang Hongyue’s face immediately turned grim.

She could act coquettish with Lin Yun in front of Zhen Li because she didn’t consider Zhen Li a rival at her level, but the person with the taunting tone was different.

Before she could retort, Lin Yun spoke up.

"Little Flower, long time no see."

The one poking fun at Dongfang Hongyue was none other than Flower Fairy, who had come after hearing the news.

Lin Yu, although just Flower Fairy’s fair-weather sister, did show her loyalty this time and gave Flower Fairy a heads-up.

Flower Fairy was nearby, and quickly made her way over.

And just in time to hear Dongfang Hongyue acting coquettishly with Lin Yun.

Disgusting, the Demon Sect Leader, actually behaving like a spoiled child!

Of course, Flower Fairy immediately began to mock, given her already sour relationship with Dongfang Hongyue, now without any hesitations.

But upon hearing Lin Yun’s "long time no see," her eyes could no longer take in anyone else.

At that moment, she forgot all about any underhanded means to get ahead, and with a leap, she threw herself into Lin Yun’s arms.

"I missed you so much."

"Me too."

"Every day, every night, every moment, I’ve been thinking of you."

Flower Fairy nestled into Lin Yun’s embrace, continuing to express her longing.

Dongfang Hongyue finally found an opening and sneered, "All this time, and you haven’t devoted yourself to cultivation? Then how did your power improve so rapidly?"

Flower Fairy: "..."

With Dongfang Hongyue’s retort, she found herself at a loss for words.

Constantly was indeed an exaggeration, but it was nearly true, for besides the times when she was cultivating or fighting, she truly was perpetually missing Lin Yun.

Now being ridiculed by Dongfang Hongyue, she felt too embarrassed to admit her exaggeration and instead retorted sarcastically, "Are you bringing up cultivation because you’re bitter about not having made any progress yourself after all this time?"

Flower Fairy deftly changed the subject, attacking Dongfang Hongyue’s weak spot, and Dongfang Hongyue was instantly filled with rage, her almond eyes widening with fury, wishing she could have a three-hundred-round battle with Flower Fairy, but realizing that Flower Fairy’s realm had improved, and if they were to fight, it would likely bring shame upon herself.

How infuriating!

How on earth do these people cultivate!

Even as an old hand at this, Dongfang Hongyue was now left speechless by Flower Fairy’s retort, the frustration in her heart was indescribable.

She desperately wanted to venture into the Netherland, and upon her return, she would give Flower Fairy a beating to teach her what it meant to respect her elders.

But what neither of them expected was that Lin Yun would actually interject in their dispute.

Men should normally stay silent when women argue.

Yet Lin Yun spoke very seriously, "Little Flower, your breakthrough is certainly something to be happy about, but if it leads to arrogance and mockery of others whose cultivation is not as advanced as yours, this is not the temperament a cultivator should have. You need to reflect on this."

"..."

Flower Fairy knew this basic principle well. Aware of her extraordinary talent and rapid cultivation progress, she had never mocked those with lower cultivation than herself.

But Dongfang Hongyue was different; she was a love rival!

Yet Lin Yun, in order to defend Dongfang Hongyue, scolded her so earnestly.

She might have won in terms of cultivation, but lost in other respects.

As she thought of her own arduous daily cultivation while Lin Yun was here indulging in romance with other women, one after another, and now that she had finally come back, the other women were ganging up against her; and now Lin Yun was actually siding with another woman against her.

It’s so heartbreaking, but I will definitely not cry!

"You’re scolding me!"

Flower Fairy’s tears swirled in her eyes, as she looked at Lin Yun with a woeful expression.

Lin Yun: "..."

My little crybaby is back...
