The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 133: How many details are there in this wave?

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: How many details are there in this wave?

"The only one who could be referred to as my master’s senior brother is Elder Baili."

Wang Wanqiu confirmed Baili Shouxin’s identity for Lin Yun, and Lin Yun followed up, "Your master must have seen through his trickery, which is why he remained quite unfriendly even after being saved by him. What do you think, would your Elder Baili be in a good mood after returning?"

Wang Wanqiu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes already glancing elsewhere, obviously, she had begun to deduce the possible events that could unfold as guided by Lin Yun.

Lin Yun didn’t directly provide the answer, which would make Wang Wanqiu feel he was instigating trouble. However, he kept providing clues that were facts, and the conclusions were drawn by Wang Wanqiu herself.

That way, she would have absolute trust in her judgment and wouldn’t suspect Lin Yun of stirring up trouble at all.

Even, she would forget that the reason she started thinking in this direction was because Lin Yun mentioned her time of death was near.

"Elder Baili, being the son of the Sect Master, is rarely defied by anyone. Such a person surely cares a lot about his own reputation. He might not show it in front of others, but if he harbors any ill intentions, with my current cultivation level, I cannot protect my master."

Wang Wanqiu arrived at this conclusion internally, pitted against the powerful next sect master of the Sword Sect and on the other a once-talented disciple whose cultivation had been ruined, it seemed unlikely that the people of the Sword Sect would take their side.

What should I do now?

Wang Wanqiu looked towards Lin Yun, yet her inner alarm resurfaced. Lin Yun was infested by the Azure Dragon Gu Worm, had unclear ties with people from other sects, and now wanted to leave the sect, inevitably harboring ill intentions towards the sect.

"Don’t worry, Elder Baili is always magnanimous and won’t hold a grudge against my master."

Seeing Wang Wanqiu still bouncing between trust and doubt, Lin Yun was not in a hurry.

Surface-level doubts actually promote deep-seated trust, it’s good for her to waver a few more times.

"I hope my suspicions are wrong then."

Lin Yun didn’t agree or disagree, but then, he took out a purple bead.

"Take this for self-defense."

Lin Yun brought out the bead given to him by Fang Yu for self-defense. With Fang Yu’s full-strength attack, even a Celestial Knowing Realm expert would be in danger. It was Lin Yun’s most valuable one-time use item.

Giving it to Wang Wanqiu meant not sparing the child to catch the wolf. Besides, even though Lin Yun’s words were alarming, Wang Wanqiu wouldn’t face any immediate danger. Soon she would leave the Sword Sect with Lin Yun, rendering the item unnecessary, and she would surely return it.

The item could be returned, but the favor would remain.

Lin Yun’s move was like getting something for nothing - retreating to gain an advantage. And if Wang Wanqiu ended up using the item, it would be even better, as it would be a planted hand to borrow a knife to kill someone.

He lent the killing weapon to a person capable of killing.

When the time came, Lin Yun wouldn’t have to take responsibility. After all, he subjectively didn’t know that Wang Wanqiu would use it to kill someone.

If Wang Wanqiu killed someone, unless she died, she would have no choice but to betray the Sword Sect. At that time, he could have Wang Wanqiu work for him.

Originally, Lin Yun held no grudge against the Sword Sect; after all, the original infiltrated voluntarily, and as a Righteous Path sect, they didn’t coerce him with gu worms or poison.

But when Ming Xi tried to kill him that day, Lin Yun couldn’t tolerate it.

Consequently, he regarded the entire Sword Sect faction as his enemy.

Wang Wanqiu had no idea that Lin Yun’s gift of a bead concealed such far-reaching schemes. She was still wondering if it was too much that she doubted Lin Yun’s intentions when he had been so kind to her.

After all, they had truly been wartime comrades who had been through life and death together. Reminiscing about their days of fleeing, Wang Wanqiu was extremely conflicted.

"You..."

"This is a protective talisman given to me by the Sect Master before I left, equivalent to the strike of an Enlightened Realm expert. But with Elder Hu accompanying me, I shouldn’t encounter any danger, so I’ll give it to you instead."

"It’s too valuable..."

Wang Wanqiu was about to refuse when Lin Yun waved his hand to interrupt her.

"I, Lin Yun, always repay my debts of gratitude. Back then, you risked your life to rescue me from Sunblaze Mountain. Take this pearl as a repayment for saving my life that day!"

"You have saved me as well, and at the time, I also wanted you to help me—it was something I ought to have done."

Wang Wanqiu did not acknowledge the debt of gratitude, which actually improved Lin Yun’s impression of her a bit.

You do have some sense of pride.

"Think whatever you like, but in any case, if not for your sake, you should consider your master. If you really can’t use it, then give it back to me."

Wang Wanqiu nodded her head and finally accepted Lin Yun’s gift.

Lin Yun smiled faintly, his plan had already succeeded by half.

With a powerful item in hand, the intention to kill naturally arises.

When he first obtained this thing, even when he saw Zhu Heng of the Yu Ling Sect, he even had the thought of silencing him, his arrogance swelling considerably—it was all inevitable.

Without strength, everything you do is constrained, but just think, if you have something in your hand that can kill a Celestial Knowing Realm expert, then you won’t hesitate in your actions anymore.

With this item, Wang Wanqiu would also have the courage and audacity to continue investigating Lin Yu’s case.

It’s just unknown how much trouble she can stir up.

"You should rest first, actually, I’m more worried about your master than you are."

Lin Yun shook his head and sighed, then turned to walk outside.

Wang Wanqiu’s whole person couldn’t take it easy; after hearing such words, how could she possibly rest properly?

She wished she could immediately fly back to Sword Peak to investigate, not even caring to stay for a meal.

"Wait."

Wang Wanqiu called out to Lin Yun.

As Lin Yun turned around, she said, "Why do you always refer to your mother as ’your master’? Even if there isn’t enough evidence to confirm this as fact, shouldn’t you believe in the maternal grace she once showed you? Can’t you bring yourself to call her ’mother’ even once?"

To think she would ask that?

Lin Yun had not anticipated this question and, finding himself unable to come up with a good answer on the spot and with no time to spare, he simply shook his head and said, "Guess for yourself."

After speaking, Lin Yun walked away without looking back, but Wang Wanqiu truly began to ponder.

And upon reflection, she felt she had found her answer.

If Lin Yun truly didn’t care about Lin Yu, why would he bother to come and speak these words to her?

She had overheard everything just before, and after all, she had spent some time with Lin Yun, and during that time, he left an impression on her of having deep feelings.

Therefore, he wouldn’t really stand by and watch Lin Yu die.

Moreover, Lin Yu, knowing that Lin Yun was her adopted son and that this could be her only lifeline, still vehemently declined.

So, is this why Lin Yun is reluctant to acknowledge his identity, considering this factor?

The two of them had no blood relation to begin with, so by denying this part of their past, wouldn’t his mother have a chance of being saved?

Lin Yun really is far-sighted and calculating!

Wang Wanqiu’s mood relaxed somewhat for the first time.

But upon closer thought, something seemed not quite right?
