The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 131: Really? I Don’t Believe It

Lin Yu had never expected that the only disciple she had ever taken on would also turn out to be such a genius.

"Is this the Heart Guarding Realm?"

She was only a bit inferior to herself.

"Yes, Master,"

Wang Wanqiu had not intended to say anything because she was worried that Lin Yu would be upset upon hearing it.

But since Lin Yu had noticed, it wouldn’t do to keep hiding it.

Lin Yu’s expression suddenly became more serious, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "Have you been back to the mountain yet?"

Wang Wanqiu shook her head, and Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Wan Qiu, I have an unreasonable request."

"Master, just say it, what’s this about an unreasonable request?"

"I hope you can help me protect Lin Yun for a while."

Lin Yu looked at Wang Wanqiu, explaining, "He’s been with the Demon Sect and made a high-profile return, I’m worried that someone might harm him." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Don’t worry, I will take good care of him."

Wang Wanqiu would have done so even without the explanation. Even though Lin Yu had not yet agreed to her proposal, Wang Wanqiu still had not given up on the idea.

Therefore, Lin Yun absolutely must not come to harm.

"Hmm, Lin Yun might be joining the Shenxiao Sect, and I hope you can go with him,"

Wang Wanqiu was not surprised at all, but she was curious.

"Master, how did you know?"

"Elder Yu Ling from the Shenxiao Sect was here just now. If it was only to explain the situation, why would an elder bother to see him off personally?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "My visit today is indeed to say goodbye to the Sword Sect."

After some thought, Wang Wanqiu realized that staying by Lin Yun’s side could give her the opportunity to persuade him to assist with her plan, so she did not object.

"Alright, Wan Qiu, you go rest for a bit. You must be tired from your journey. Have lunch here at noon and taste my cooking,"

Wang Wanqiu’s gaze became focused, and she nodded.

Her heart was filled with sadness.

Eating together should be a warm affair, but she had reached the stage where she could subsist on wind and dew, while her master had completely become a mortal who needed three meals a day.

In order not to let Lin Yu see her emotions, Wang Wanqiu went to rest in the room behind the dispensary.

She had lived there for some time before and was quite familiar with the place.

In the dispensary, only Lin Yun and Lin Yu were left.

Although Lin Yun’s identity was still in question, Lin Yu no longer wished to confirm it.

Emotionally, she could consider him her son, but in reality, she could assume he was not.

"Stay and have a meal with us. Don’t ponder too much over other matters. The concerns of the mortal world are like passing clouds. You have an exceptional talent, and you should be pursuing the supreme Great Dao,"

Lin Yu conveyed her thoughts. She did not insist on recognizing Lin Yun as her son, nor did she intentionally conceal her past thoughts. In any case, everything was laid out in front of them. She had long since made decisions in her heart.

But Lin Yun didn’t discuss this; instead, he asked somewhat abruptly, "Were your injuries caused by a scheme from the Sword Sect?"

Lin Yu’s heart jolted, and she forced a smile, saying, "Why would you think that? I was once the pride of the Sword Sect."

"The reason is simple. I guess you must have had your suspicions. Although there’s no evidence, it’s like our relationship. Even though we can’t confirm it, we both know it in our hearts. You think the Sword Sect is jealous and envious. You were worried that Wang Wanqiu’s breakthrough to the Heart Guarding Realm would make her a target of schemes, so you used the pretext of having her protect me to temporarily leave the Sword Sect."

"You’re overthinking it. There are quite a few disciples in the Heart Guarding Realm in the Sword Sect, and although there may be jealousy and envy, it wouldn’t go as far as you suggest."

Lin Yu was still stubbornly defending it, clearly not wanting to speak ill of the Sword Sect.

Lin Yun helplessly said, "It may not matter for other disciples to reach the Heart Guarding Realm, but now Baili Shouxin has also reached it and is considered one of the strongest young disciples of the Sword Sect. However, Wang Wanqiu is different. She is your disciple. Given that people from the Sword Sect could have plotted against you, they would be worried that Wang Wanqiu might one day find evidence.

If she were mediocre, it wouldn’t matter, but now she has shown remarkable talent in cultivation and might even reach a higher realm. If she discovers the truth in the future, she is very likely to seek vengeance for you. The best method would be to eliminate her."

Seeing the certainty in his words, Lin Yu could only sigh helplessly. Denying it outright would be meaningless.

"Since you’ve guessed it, you should also understand why I don’t want to say it directly."

Lin Yu hadn’t expected Lin Yun to be so clever. Is this really the pure and endearing child of mine?

Why does it feel like his eyes can see through people’s hearts?

"I think you should speak up. Harboring both illusions and suspicions about the Sword Sect is truly the most foolish act. Either you turn against them outright, or you close your eyes and cover your ears, pretending to be dumb. This sort of false cleverness will only bring disaster upon you and make you look foolish.

I believe you’re not dumb. You must be close to death, aren’t you?"

Lin Yun’s insight was even stronger than Lin Yu had thought. During his journey, things appeared to go smoothly for him, but in reality...

Lin Yun felt like he was walking on thin ice, where caution and keenness were his magical treasures.

Now, as he looked at Lin Yu, he had another thought.

I might be able to turn her.

"Is this... how you speak to me? Since you are also clearly aware, I might be your foster mother. Shouldn’t you have a bit more respect when speaking?"

Lin Yu seemed to be complaining, but in fact, she was a bit heartbroken.

Having raised a son for over a decade, then to have him suddenly forget her, speaking so bluntly as if she were a stranger, she couldn’t deal with it indifferently, of course.

That’s how women are, always contradictory. On one hand, she felt it was good that he wasn’t close to her, so there would be less sorrow later. On the other hand, because he wasn’t close to her, the sadness in her heart surged like a spring.

Your mother is about to die. Don’t you feel sad?

Lin Yun shook his head and said, "I’m sorry, I truly don’t remember you, so I can’t play the role of a filial son with a loving mother. However, I do wish you well. Whatever is needed to save you, I’m willing to do it."

At these words, Lin Yu’s face reddened.

After all, Wang Wanqiu had not long ago said that ** could save her. Lin Yun’s current words were practically a clear hint!

"No need. I’ve lived for almost a hundred years, which is already long compared to many mortals."

Lin Yu truly had a relaxed view of life and death. She slowly said, "In my life, I’ve trampled over mountain peaks and also walked into valleys, both of which have been greatly beneficial to me. Upon reflection, what I miss the most turns out to be those years of seclusion, where I truly experienced the full spectrum of human emotions, with all its attachments and fears.

Today, I no longer have the powerful aura that could slash through everything with a single sword, but I do possess the composure to accept everything openly. Everyone dies eventually, and my life has already been resplendent."

"Really? I don’t believe it."

Lin Yu: "..."

Where did this child learn to provoke like this?

She was starting to get angry.
