The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 120 Go Say Farewell to the Sword Sect

Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Go Say Farewell to the Sword Sect

Before Fang Yu grasped Lin Yun’s hand, she hadn’t thought much about it, just like the time she felt sad and let Lin Yun hug her without overthinking.

But once she held his hand, she suddenly realized the difference between men and women. However, the deed was done, and letting go abruptly out of shyness would make the atmosphere between master and disciple even weirder.

Fortunately, Fang Yu knew she was set with a straightforward persona, so as long as she acted completely unembarrassed, the embarrassed one would be Lin Yun.

Fang Yu said sincerely, "All your efforts will be rewarded."

"Hmm? Oh."

Lin Yun gave a silly look, fully showcasing the awkwardness of having his hand held by his beautiful master, his face slightly flushed, appearing embarrassed.

Internally, Fang Yu exclaimed: So cute!

But then she realized, even if only Lin Yun felt embarrassed, their teacher-student affection could still subtly change. And what the hell was with finding her own disciple so adorable?

Without a change in expression, Fang Yu released Lin Yun’s hand. Lin Yun felt both regret and relief in secret.

Sometimes he really didn’t mean to show off his smooth moves, but after doing it so often, it had become second nature.

Just now, for instance, why did he specifically use his strategies on Fang Yu?

To deal with a tsundere like Flower Fairy or Dongfang Hongyue, he had to act dominant and assertive, but with a frank woman like Fang Yu, he had to be like a little puppy.

But... he didn’t need to woo Fang Yu as if she were his wife!

The main issue was Lin Yun momentarily forgot to hold back his Divine Skills.

Luckily, Fang Yu’s resolve was firm, and she wasn’t so mesmerized by Lin Yun to lose her bearings, feeling only slightly uncomfortable. She quickly switched back to the previous topic, "If one day you reach the level of cultivation I have, and inherit the position of the Shenxiao Sect Leader, what would you like to do?"

This question was much like the earlier one, except Lin Yun’s cultivation level was currently too low, practicing cultivation merely for survival. What about when he became accomplished in his cultivation later?

Actually, it was just a routine question, as Fang Yu had more or less figured out Lin Yun’s nature and didn’t need any further tests.

Upon hearing the question, Lin Yun immediately felt it was an excellent opportunity to show off.

Good thing, I’ve memorized those four lines.

"If I do achieve success in my cultivation," said Lin Yun, pausing to rally his emotions, then declared passionately, "I’d want to do four things."

He went on enthusiastically, "To set my heart for the heavens and the earth, to establish a purpose for all living beings, to carry on the lost teachings of the sages, and to foster an era of peace for all generations."

As his words fell, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky outside, followed by the rolling thunder.

Hearing the ongoing rumble of thunder, Lin Yun couldn’t help but rant inwardly.

The thunder today is a bit too boisterous, isn’t it!

Elder Hu wouldn’t have set me up, right?

Is Purple Cloud Mountain just regularly struck by lightning, or is it because I’m showing off?

After hearing Lin Yun’s remarks, Fang Yu was also stunned for a moment. After quite some time, she spoke with a sense of enlightenment, "Your four sentences have also benefited me greatly. I too am not alone in my pursuit."

Now, Fang Yu’s gaze upon Lin Yun had completely changed.

This is my successor, and no one shall compete with me for him!

"You shall return to the Sword Sect tomorrow!"

"???"

Lin Yun wore a puzzled expression. Did my answer have the opposite effect?

"I will ask Elder Ma to accompany you tomorrow. Once the matters of the Sword Sect are settled, I will formally accept you as my disciple."

Fang Yu didn’t want to drag this out any longer.

She would have loved for Lin Yun to set off tonight, but it was too late to visit other sects, and she needed to communicate with Elder Ma.

With Lin Yun’s departure, he would essentially be betraying his master.

In the Cultivation World, the cost of betraying one’s sect isn’t huge, but it’s not small either, especially within the Orthodox Sects, where traitors rarely meet a good end.

Generally speaking, those who betray their sect in the Righteous Path find it hard to join new Sects, as others would question their loyalty as disciples. If you can betray your previous Sect, what’s to say you won’t betray us in the future?

However, the reality is that the previous sect may have various issues, such as not recognizing one’s talent or providing the necessary cultivation resources.

But other Sects wouldn’t care about that.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, those with exceptional talent, like Lin Yun.

Or the new Sect might not mind these things - Fang Yu knew that the Sword Sect had wronged Lin Yun, and that he had initially not wanted to leave the Sword Sect; it was only to comfort her that he agreed to become her disciple. She kept all of these matters in mind.

The Elders in the Sect would not suspect Lin Yun’s loyalty either because they needed to make use of him. Whether he was loyal or not simply wasn’t a concern for the moment.

So, as long as there is a new Sect willing to take him in, betraying the original sect is feasible.

But of course, the original sect would be upset, hence, someone with a high status and a high level of cultivation must accompany Lin Yun.

Even if the Sword Sect was dissatisfied, she wouldn’t let such a fine gem be wasted by them.

If it weren’t for her status as a Sect Master which made it inappropriate for her to handle this personally, and the fact that she had other matters to attend to, she would have liked to take Lin Yun there herself to ensure safety.

When Lin Yun heard that Fang Yu was planning for him to get rid of his identity as a disciple of the Sword Sect, he also felt relieved.

In truth, he didn’t want too many identities; each new identity felt like having an additional girlfriend. It’s fine if they don’t know about each other, but once exposed, what awaited him were hatchets and blazing fires.

Uh, this analogy seems a bit inappropriate, but the principle is correct.

Now, Lin Yun had to break up with his previous girlfriend with the support of his new girlfriend.

Cough cough, what a mess this all is.

In any case, it was time to make a clean break with the Sword Sect.

Fang Yu, pressed for time, spoke of these matters, then took her leave first. Lin Yun had lost the mood for cultivation, and only then did he remember the Sword Spirit concealed in his Dantian; he decided to communicate with it as usual today!

No sooner had Lin Yun concentrated on his Dantian than the Azure Dragon Gu Worm also happened to transmit a thought.

"Master, that guy is here again!"

The Azure Dragon Gu Worm conveyed the message with a hint of dissatisfaction in its tone.

It hated being disturbed while playing in the water.

Having just finished its daily breathing exercises and soaking in the Golden Spiritual Liquid, it was quite comfortable when that Divine Sense awakened within it again.

The Azure Dragon Gu Worm felt it might now be able to eradicate that bit of Divine Sense, but it didn’t know the relationship between the Divine Sense and Lin Yun and thus didn’t dare act recklessly.

Lin Yun wasn’t too concerned about these details, knowing that Hong Yue sought him likely because of the loss of the Thunderclap Sword Spirit.

Today, the Shenxiao Sect must have come looking for trouble, and he was here to gather intelligence, right?

Lin Yun wasn’t wrong; as soon as Hong Yue’s Divine Sense awakened, the first thing she asked was, "What exactly is the deal with the Thunderclap Sword? Do you know the inside story?"

Lin Yun was also surprised as he said, "Wasn’t it you who did it?"

Although the Sword Spirit is right here with me, no one in the world would think so.

"Of course not! What would I want with that broken Sword Spirit!"

Lin Yun could sense that Hong Yue seemed particularly irritable today. Could it be that she had been beaten up again?
