The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 157 Green Lotus I’ve Already Run Away (20th Update)

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Green Lotus I’ve Already Run Away (20th Update)

By the time Lin Yun and the others returned to the Shenxiao Sect, it was already deep into the night.

They first went to see Fang Yu and explained the situation of the past two days. Hu Yuling had indeed sent a message, but it had been rather brief.

Listening to Lin Yun recount the causes and consequences, Fang Yu even went through two plates of sunflower seeds.

This truly was like a grand drama, and moreover, the story was far from over.

Although Mu Yunyan and Ming Xin had died, the grudge between Lin Yun and the Sword Sect had been established.

Of course, the Shenxiao Sect was not afraid of the Sword Sect; the two sects’ power levels were not even on the same tier. However, the Shenxiao Sect was not equivalent to Lin Yun. In case the Sword Sect resorted to disregarding their dignity and schemed against Lin Yun in secret, this was a matter that had to be guarded against.

"Since that’s the case, the two of you should stay on the mountain for now and wait until the situation blows over before we discuss further. It’s also late today, so everyone can go and rest now. Junior Sister Yu Ling, you’ve worked hard this time."

Hu Yuling smiled and said, "It was nothing but a little effort on my part."

After saying that, she withdrew, and then Fang Yu said, "Lin Yun, you stay behind for a moment."

"Yes."

Lin Yun obediently stayed behind, and when everyone had left, Fang Yu said, "I really didn’t expect that the Jade Sword Immortal would turn out to be your mother. Come to think of it, you two really do resemble each other."

Before, when Lin Yun and Lin Yu had stood together, she had almost wondered if Lin Yu had secretly had relations with a man but was too embarrassed to say it outright, instead claiming Lin Yun was found. How could they look so alike otherwise?

But she had discreetly checked Lin Yu’s body with her Divine Sense and confirmed that she was indeed still a virgin.

This was somewhat miraculous.

And what was most coincidental was that Lin Yun was found on the mountain, and so was Lin Yu. It was just unclear if they were found on the same mountain.

Was that mountain specialized in wholesaling genius disciples?

Many strange thoughts flashed through Fang Yu’s mind, but in the end, she suppressed them and said, "What do you plan to do from now on?"

Lin Yun replied, "I will do whatever I can to save her."

"The Poison Dragon Gu Worm is incurable by any medicine."

Fang Yu admired Lin Yun’s filial piety, but she also did not wish for him to waste too much time and energy on this endeavor.

If he succeeded, that would be good, but if he failed, his path could become clouded.

One’s path was such a fragile thing, needing to be both tempered and cherished.

In any case, as his master, she ought to point Lin Yun in the right direction. Of course, the final decision still lay with Lin Yun himself.

"Actually, there is a method."

Lin Yun said, somewhat embarrassedly.

"What method?"

"Wang Wanqiu said I have the Innate Cauldron Physique and that by using my Vital Essence, I can fill the gaps left by the Poison Dragon Gu Worm."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu’s expression changed immediately.

"Absurd! Not to mention that the Innate Cauldron Physique has not been verified, Lin Yu is your adoptive mother. Even if you had forgotten her, you cannot disrupt such ethics and humanity. Moreover, no mother in the world would wish to sacrifice her own son to save herself. Have you considered her feelings in doing these things? If you truly wish to fulfill your filial duty, just spend her remaining days with her well."

Frankly speaking, Fang Yu’s viewpoint was more objective.

"Master, don’t be angry. I’m not planning to sacrifice myself to save her."

Lin Yun earnestly said, "I also have my own selfish reasons, but still, I want to do everything in my power to look for other methods."

Tying up Lin Yu and administering drugs were nothing but Wang Wanqiu’s misunderstandings.

How could Lin Yun possibly sacrifice himself? If he were to give away his own Vital Essence for Lin Yu and then hinder his own path, wouldn’t Dongfang Hongyue be heartbroken?

Lin Yu merely reminded him of his biological mother, stirring emotions within him as he lived in a foreign world; he would try his best to treat Lin Yu better, but not at the expense of harming himself.

Lin Yun always had a plan in his heart when he acted.

"That’s good. During this period, but this time, just stay on the mountain, okay? Tomorrow we’ll go to settle accounts with the Green Lotus Sect, and now with the Sword Sect as our enemy, too, you’ve given away the treasure I gave you. Do you have any idea how hard it was to refine that thing?"

Fang Yu also had some complaints when mentioning this.

She didn’t know that Lin Yun was still thinking about reclaiming the beads through his favor, and she thought Lin Yun had given her things away for that woman, so naturally, she was somewhat upset.

Being able to deliver full-force strikes didn’t mean she could store the strikes she delivered; it was very draining on the mind and spirit. In the beginning, in order to undermine the opposition, she also had put a lot of effort.

"I’m sorry."

Lin Yun put on an apologetic puppy dog face, and Fang Yu found it difficult to punish him.

"Forget it, forget it. I’m not blaming you, just remember to think more about yourself in the future, okay?"

Lin Yun: "..."

With such a perfect persona, even I feel ashamed.

In Fang Yu’s eyes, Lin Yun was completely a silly child who only thought of others and didn’t know how to take care of himself, which made it hard for her to feel at ease. Such a naive kid would get bullied easily on the outside.

It was precisely because she felt he would suffer that Fang Yu became even more inclined to look after him.

"Disciple understands."

"Alright, go rest."

Lin Yun nodded and quickly left.

Green Lotus had been frantically calling him just now, Lin Yun temporarily settled him, and now he had to deal with him as well.

"Have you made any progress with the task I gave you?"

Green Lotus seemed very anxious.

This damn thing, shouldn’t I be anxious? Now three Demon Lords were putting pressure on him.

Dongfang Hongyue and Zhang Biyu both guessed he might be innocent, but still hypocritically went to talk to him.

And then tomorrow is the final deadline. Without any clues, he might really be doomed.

"I’ve found a little clue, but I’m still looking for evidence."

Lin Yun’s words made Green Lotus bloom with joy. He was, after all, desperately throwing himself at any solution and didn’t expect Lin Yun to actually find a lead.

"Quick, tell me, what is it?"

"I found out that on that day, the only Elders who had contact with the Thunderclap Sword were Elder Fufeng, Elder Yu Ling, and Elder Zhu Jian. I’m still investigating. Give me one night, and I should be able to find out."

"Great, great, just be careful not to be discovered."

"Don’t worry, I won’t be. I’ve used the capabilities of the Azure Dragon Gu Worm to hide my presence."

"That’s good. Once this is over, I definitely won’t mistreat you."

Green Lotus started to make more promises to Lin Yun, who sneered inwardly. Once this was over, if Green Lotus didn’t die, he’d still be skin and bones.

"By the way, Master, I just heard that the Shenxiao Sect is planning to demand people from the Green Lotus Sect tomorrow. They are serious and have prepared all their experts for this. Perhaps you should find a place to hide first?"

Moved by Lin Yun’s concerned words, a wave of emotion washed over Green Lotus.

Truly a good disciple of mine.

"Don’t worry. I’ve already hidden myself in a place they’ll never find."

"There’s such a place?"

Lin Yun expressed his amazement, and Green Lotus said proudly, "Of course, disciple. You must understand, anticipate defeat before expecting success. If I can’t expose their plot tomorrow, I’ll escape to the Northern Desert and hide out there. They won’t catch me!"

Lin Yun: "..."

Well, this one’s pretty sly too!
