The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 173: Master, Do You Want to Verify It?

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Master, Do You Want to Verify It?

Fang Yu’s question truly stumped Lin Yun.

What else could there be?

"She has shown me kindness in raising me, should I not dutifully show gratitude as a matter of course?"

"What a way to show filial piety."

What Fang Yu hated most was inconsistency between someone’s words and thoughts. That day when she saw Lin Yun holding Lin Yu, the smile at the corner of his mouth had not a hint of respect for an elder, but clearly revealed a lustful intent.

If Lin Yun had frankly admitted it, Fang Yu wouldn’t have gotten angry. People have all sorts of desires, which is understandable. However, what disappointed her was that Lin Yun dared to do something he wouldn’t own up to.

Yet, when she was about to rebuke Lin Yun, seeing his innocent and confused look suddenly made her realize that perhaps, Lin Yun himself was unaware.

For a moment, the anger in Fang Yu’s heart dissipated, she even felt somewhat remorseful.

She figured she had too much on her mind lately, so when confronting issues, she didn’t think about the deeper reasons.

While her perspective wasn’t wrong, as a master, she should’ve considered things more comprehensively.

"Do you truly regard Lin Yu as your mother?"

Fang Yu’s tone softened a bit as she asked this question, which made Lin Yun feel somewhat embarrassed.

Of course he wouldn’t!

In his eyes, Lin Yu was a cute and beautiful girl. And because he had previously seen Lin Yu killing a chicken, which evoked his nostalgia for his hometown, Lin Yun also developed some special feelings for Lin Yu.

These feelings were neither familial nor romantic; Lin Yun couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Seeing Lin Yun’s silence, Fang Yu couldn’t help but sigh.

She now understood that her disciple was at the age where emotions begin to awaken, and furthermore, he had developed feelings for a very taboo subject, all while being oblivious to it.

For a time, Fang Yu felt conflicted. As a master, what should she do?

And this was Lin Yun’s path; she couldn’t intervene too much.

Masters teaching disciples always avoid clarifying things too much.

As a master, what you can do is help disciples strengthen their resolve for their path but not tell them what the path is.

The path that can be taught is not the eternal path.

To speak of it would be to try to help the shoots grow by pulling them upward.

"Unless Lin Yu can break through to the Celestial Knowing Realm, to break the shackles binding her, even if you could infuse your own True Qi into her to prolong her life, it would be in vain, like trying to scoop up water with a sieve. Obsession is too deep and useless for cultivation."

Fang Yu could only go so far in what she said. She didn’t point out that Lin Yun’s filial piety had taken an improper form. She wasn’t even against Lin Yun disregarding social norms.

In Fang Yu’s view, if Lin Yun wanted to do something, unless it was truly against morality and justice, she wouldn’t stop him.

But Lin Yun had to be prepared to take responsibility for his actions.

"If it’s just dual cultivation, actually, there might not be any issue, right? I think Wang Wanqiu misunderstood. The Red Lotus Demon Lord didn’t steal a shred of my essence; instead, it helped me break through Mortal Transcendence. So, I shouldn’t be what they call a ’Cauldron Physique,’ right?"

Fang Yu: "..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

It seemed like that might be the case, but she had forgotten.

Fang Yu’s blank expression made Lin Yun sigh, thinking that indeed, nourishment in the body can be absorbed by certain parts, leading to a lack of intelligence.

Most people in the Shenxiao Sect are not very clever, perhaps this is why. Hu Yuling is an exception.

"What you’re saying seems to make some sense, but it’s not absolute. Perhaps, the Red Lotus Demon Lord had discovered something unique about your constitution and chose not to take your innate essence," Fang Yu mused.

An Innate Furnace Cauldron Body retains its properties as long as its innate essence isn’t taken. With cultivation like Dongfang Hongyue’s, one could control and choose not to take the essence but instead use a bit of Spiritual Power to help with breakthroughs, fattening up before the slaughter, which could also be possible.

No wonder Lin Yun was able to escape back then; Dongfang Hongyue was so insistent on bringing him back.

All of this logic is quite reasonable! Wang Wanqiu probably thought the same way initially.

Lin Yun: You might not believe it, but I’ve been snatched many times...

Lin Yun immediately became headache-ridden, how can I make others believe that I’m very good at replenishing demons without harming myself?

The only people in the know so far are Dongfang Hongyue, Hongling, and Bai Jiaojiao.

Having such an amazing ability known isn’t actually a good thing, but Fang Yu is still trustworthy, and after all, this is a strength, not a flaw. Lin Yun didn’t feel the need to hide it from her.

Saving people is what matters most, after all.

"Master, I feel that my True Qi is really different, how about you feel it yourself?"

Fang Yu: "???"

Are you sparing not even your master?

Fang Yu originally wanted to get angry, but seeing Lin Yun’s dazed look, she thought, he probably hasn’t thought that far.

What a cute and foolish disciple.

Fang Yu knocked on Lin Yun’s head and chided, "Stop your wild thoughts, if you insist on saving Lin Yu, your master won’t stop you."

Lin Yun realized why Fang Yu suddenly wanted to hit him, but that knock had a bit of a doting flavor to it.

Ah, my master is also so cute.

"In one’s life, one is always responsible for one’s own choices. When you make a choice, you never know if it’s right or wrong, whether you’ll regret it later. So, I only hope that every decision you make is the wisest and truly what you have in your heart."

"Yes, I want to save her."

If Fang Yu is not willing to verify, it’s fine, as long as she doesn’t object. With such an open-minded master, Lin Yun feels like he’s found a treasure.

Look at who the original owner picked as masters, first Ming Xi, then Green Lotus, both were traps.

Since it’s him, both masters are super cute.

So, it’s a must to pick a female master, only then can you leverage the advantage of this handsome face.

"If you save her, the position of future Sect Master of Shenxiao Sect might elude you, and even the Supreme Great Dao might drift away from you. Think it over well."

"I’ve thought it through."

Lin Yun can be sure he’s just spitting a bit of Spiritual Liquid, and it shouldn’t impact him much. After all, there are Xiao Qing and Little Gold.

Lin Yun has recently paid them both wages. Xiao Qing, as the foreman, received a raise—ten drops a day, while Little Gold as the newcomer, needs to build seniority; right now it’s just six drops.

Although not as much as Xiao Qing, with the same income as Xiao Qing had before, Little Gold is already very content.

They both work hard, so Lin Yun, the tycoon, really isn’t short of a bit of Spiritual Liquid.

Fang Yu shook her head. The matters of the world complicated by emotions are hard to untangle.

A few days ago, she had asked Lin Yun the same question, and Lin Yun’s answer was that he would think it over carefully.

Now he has made his decision so resolutely; has he fallen completely within just a few days?

Actually, it’s because Lin Yun had not considered this aspect before...

Fang Yu really likes Lin Yun as a disciple—kind, responsible, fearful, yet unafraid to sacrifice. She doesn’t know if she could find another disciple as good as him.

Right, Lin Yun was just about to ask about the method of transferring energy, which means, out of propriety, he wasn’t considering using that method to transfer energy to Lin Yu yet.

So if she helped Lin Yun to verify, and his True Qi turned out to be nothing special, would Lin Yun give up that idea?

In that case, she could speak up to stop Lin Yun.

Or, if it really turned out that his condition is off, then she could rest assured!

But this method of transferring energy...
