The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 208 - 207 Lin Yun’s Handsome Man Strategy

Lin Yun found that Fang Yu seemed somewhat aloof today.

Hmph, what a fickle woman. Just yesterday she was all hugs and kisses, and today she turns her back like a stranger.

The normally gentle master had suddenly turned into a domineering CEO, even assigning him a task forcibly. Lin Yun was feeling quite helpless.

In the Shenxiao Sect, naturally, one must follow orders.

"I’ll get ready and head down the mountain right away."

Seeing that he agreed, Fang Yu didn’t stay long and turned to leave.

Watching her retreating figure, Lin Yun was immediately displeased.

This is outright abandonment after stirring up trouble!

"Master."

"What is it?"

Fang Yu turned around, looking impatient.

Lin Yun then flashed an energetic smile and said, "It seems master is troubled by something. I know I can’t be of much help, but I’ve heard a saying: ’The cart will find its way round the hill when it gets there, and the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge.’ Problems will always be solved. Master, you should also keep your spirits up!"

That smile stunned Fang Yu.

Afterwards, she said somewhat awkwardly, "I know that. Now go down the mountain. Be safe."

Seeing her footsteps slightly disordered as she left, Lin Yun finally revealed a Dragon King-like grin.

I’ve put eighteen years of my effort into this charm offensive. How could she resist?

Exactly! She couldn’t!

But he wondered what kind of impact that smile had on Fang Yu. It was time for him to descend the mountain regardless.

After learning about Hu Yuling’s plot against him, Lin Yun wasn’t so anxious about this trip down the mountain anymore. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Having released Hu Yuling yesterday, she should have the sense not to attack her own master, and even if she did, it wouldn’t be a big issue.

As for other adversaries, Lin Yun considered himself unrivaled among cultivators of the Three Middle Realm, but he couldn’t be sure about Upper Realm Experts.

Without reaching that level, one can’t understand its profound capabilities. Rather than expecting to turn weakness into strength, Lin Yun estimated his combat power, considering it safe only when he believed his opponent was at most seventy percent as strong as he was.

Even though one must be prepared to triumph over stronger foes in life-or-death situations, Lin Yun felt that having brains was precisely to avoid such peril.

If he were to leave the mountain, it would be best to bring a bodyguard.

Lin Yun’s thoughts turned to Lin Yu. She had a connection with the White Tiger and even without cultivation level, she fought him with mere Sword Intent. Now that her cultivation level was restored, Fang Yu rated her as not inferior to herself. Not taking such a valuable asset with him would be a waste.

Besides, it’s standard practice to bring a beautiful girl along on a task, right?

Realizing this, Lin Yun went to look for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was planning to discuss joining the Shenxiao Sect with Fang Yu, but before she could, Lin Yun came knocking. Remembering Lin Yun’s long intimacy with the Flower Fairy yesterday, and that Lin Yun hadn’t come to coax her since, her attitude cooled when she saw him.

"You’re looking for me?"

Lin Yun: "??"

What’s going on today?

Did the goodwill of the girls reset overnight?

"Yes, I’m about to head down the mountain, and I came to say goodbye."

Lin Yun sensed something was amiss. He had intended to straightforwardly seek her support, but now he needed a more circuitous approach.

"Leaving the mountain?"

"Yes, recently there have been many affairs to attend to in Shenxiao Sect, and my cultivation level has also made some progress. It’s a good time to go down the mountain for some training and to alleviate some of the Sect’s worries."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu became a bit unsettled. Wasn’t this trip far too dangerous?

She knew Lin Yun had enmities with Sword Sect and Demon Sect. His cultivation was not high, and what if he encountered some unscrupulous Upper Realm Experts who disregarded the rules and killed him?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious Lin Yu became.

"Since that’s the case, I’m not busy either. How about I accompany you?"

"How could that be possible? Training is about facing dangers directly. If you’re with me, it wouldn’t be the same experience. What about Flower Fairy? If she’s not busy, I’ll just ask her."

Early in the morning, Flower Fairy had already returned to Guanghan Palace. Lin Yun saw her departure on the flying boat while he was packing his stuff.

She didn’t come to say goodbye, probably because she was scared of him, or maybe after what happened yesterday, she felt too embarrassed to see him.

At this moment, he pretended not to know, but it was actually a jab at Lin Yu.

"That will disappoint you, but she has already gone back to Guanghan Palace. It’s best you give up on any thoughts of having a lovely companion on your journey early!"

Her tone was sour, but Lin Yu herself was completely oblivious to it. She even thought she was speaking normally.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun knew he had her in his trap. She had already fallen for my ploy!

"If that’s what I truly wanted, wouldn’t it be just as good with you accompanying me?"

Lin Yun said earnestly, "I’m just looking to gain more combat experience. Previously, my cultivation level was too low, and I never had a proper fight with anyone."

Listening to Lin Yun talk about having her as a beautiful companion, Lin Yu felt a bit guilty. Before she could even blush, she heard about Lin Yun’s plans, and her entire being felt distressed.

Although Lin Yun had been through many dangers, his experience in the martial world was still shallow. Who would think about picking fights right after leaving the mountain? It was so dangerous.

With such thoughts, if she didn’t keep an eye on him, he would surely get into trouble.

"Then if I accompany you, you can still gain combat experience. I won’t make a move unless we encounter danger."

"That works as well. Then you’ll come with me down the mountain, but you must absolutely not act recklessly. Leave matters to me in case of any issues!"

"Okay."

Lin Yu smiled, thinking Lin Yun was still so naïve, but perhaps that’s just the nature of the young!

She thought Lin Yun was naïve, not realizing that Lin Yun was actually playing a deeper game.

If he had directly asked Lin Yu to accompany him down the mountain, she might have thought him too timid, lacking a spirited determination, and she probably wouldn’t have agreed to join him.

Given the mutual ambiguity between them, had she followed them down the mountain, Lin Yu’s character would surely have induced her to decline, and even if she was concerned for Lin Yun’s safety, she would have likely followed secretly to protect him.

That would be far less interesting.

So Lin Yun reversed his approach, initially refusing but then mentioning Flower Fairy to incite a sense of competition in Lin Yu. Next, he displayed his own recklessness, making Lin Yu worry, and also giving her a reason to feel compelled to accompany him.

The details of this ruse don’t need to be spelled out, but in any case, half an hour later, the two had already arrived at the base of Purple Cloud Mountain.

If they had flown, they would have been quicker, but they ran the entire journey.

Once at the mountain base, Lin Yun said, "We have seven days. If we rent a flying chicken, we could get there in two days, but that might be too dull. What do you think about buying two fast horses instead?"

When he was a child, the martial arts dramas he watched always played out like this, and Lin Yun had always wanted to gallop on horseback. Although flying chickens were fast, they seemed too lowly and didn’t fit the image of a cultivator.

But Lin Yu raised an objection.

"Riding horses is too slow, and you only have seven days. It’s better to go sooner rather than later. Let’s go rent a flying chicken instead!"
