The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 54: Accidentally Became a Transfer Station

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Accidentally Became a Transfer Station

Lin Yun felt that if everyone had their own destiny, his must certainly involve going undercover; not to mention his triple undercover identity, just by slipping out for a walk, he had been mistaken for a contact and he happened to have an item related to the other party that proved his identity.

This could only be described as fate.

Misunderstood, Lin Yun had no choice but to keep playing the part.

Act well, and he could live, fail, and his life would be at risk.

"She’s my companion and can’t be killed yet,"

Lin Yun tried to save Wang Wanqiu, after all, she had a beautiful master.

"Deal with her as you wish."

The person in black casually tossed the person to Lin Yun, speaking coldly, "If you delay important matters, you know the consequences."

Lin Yun nodded.

"So, what does he want to find out?"

Lin Yun: "..."

Sister, can’t you take the initiative and say something?

Though this person in black had disguised their figure, Lin Yun’s nose was very sensitive, detecting a faint fragrance of a woman and some floral scent, leaving no doubt that it was a woman.

Lin Yun’s brain was whirring, making deductions rapidly.

First, with the known information about the Ascending Dragon Sword, this woman must be an agent of Daoist Master Huang Long.

And for the meeting in Cold Moon City, this person was most likely a Yu Ling Sect spy within the Guanghan Palace.

The other party didn’t know his identity, judging only based on the token, and was unclear about the specifics needed; obviously, this might be a piece that was in hiding for quite some time and was suddenly activated, likely only told when to rendezvous and to trust the token.

That is to say, this woman was the subordinate, and Lin Yun, in the role he was playing, was her superior. He simply needed to fabricate a plausible request.

What could Yu Ling Sect possibly need now?

Yes, the Yu Ling Sect was currently at war.

Putting all this information together, Lin Yun spoke up, "The Sect Master wants me to ask about three things. First, whether that plan could be accelerated; with the current volatile situation, it may also serve as our opportunity."

The person in black huffed coldly upon hearing this, scoffing, "Does he intend to get Jiang Chenyu killed? If he wants to make a move, let him do it himself; it’s not something I can manage."

Lin Yun: "..."

Who was Jiang Chenyu? He had never heard of them.

Lin Yun didn’t comment on this; the more he said, the more likely he was to slip up. After pondering briefly, he brought up the second matter.

"The second thing the Sect Master wants me to ask is about the Han River Secret Treasure. Do you have any news on that matter?"

Lin Yun was taking a gamble with this move.

The Moon Water Spirit Pearl within him resonated, suggesting the strong possibility that there was a significant treasure near the Han River, and the local people might have some information.

Since the person in black’s identity was unknown, it was worth a try to investigate.

To covet a treasure would also fit with Daoist Master Huang Long’s modus operandi.

"He is quite well-informed indeed. I do know something, but that secret treasure is not something he should covet. Guanghan Palace has been eyeing it for a while, simply waiting for it to mature," the person replied.

Lin Yun was inwardly overjoyed.

Wow, he really did manage to pry some information out of her.

The unfortunate part was that with Guanghan Palace watching, it wouldn’t be easy for him to attempt taking it.

"And the third matter?" the person in black asked impatiently.

"The Sect Master wants me to ask how you have been recently."

Based on the previous conversation, Lin Yun deduced that this person was closely related to Daoist Master Huang Long. Although there was much disdain in her words, the more disdain she expressed, the more it proved she cared.

Lin Yun asking this as the last matter would help to dispel her suspicions even further.

"Ha, that’s really funny. Does he genuinely care about me? That’s so hypocritical. Tell him not to ask such insincere questions. Either I’m dead, or I’m still alive—there’s no need to ask about being well or not," she retorted.

After hearing this, Lin Yun remained unflappable.

I am truly too clever, spot on!

Having managed the situation without exposing himself, once the person in black left, he could also slip away.

"He went through all this trouble to send me a message, just to ask these trivial things. It seems he won’t let it rest easily. Stay in Han River City for a couple of days. If there’s a chance to meddle with that secret treasure, I will send you a message," she said.

With that, the person in black vanished from in front of Lin Yun.

It was only then that Lin Yun finally exhaled a sigh of relief, helping Wang Wanqiu to her feet and realizing she had merely fainted.

How would he explain this to her later?

Or, should we just kill her and silence her forever?

Luckily, the Han River is quite vast.

Lin Yun picked up the Ascending Dragon Sword again.

With one stroke, cruelly nipping the bud, all troubles would vanish.

Just as Lin Yun was about to strike, another person in black leapt out.

Lin Yun could tell from the stench that this person was not the same one from before.

This was a man, and he reeked.

The black-clad figure glanced at the sword in Lin Yun’s hand and then tossed his own signal towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun: "..."

You underground workers are really not meticulous enough.

He pretended to inspect it for a while, nodded, threw the signal back, and said, "Speak."

Undercover work requires succinctness and decisiveness.

"The Sect Master has three orders: first, speed up the plan and find the right moment. Second, seize the opportunity to obtain the Han River Secret Treasure."

Lin Yun: "..."

"Third, assist in stealing the Heaven-Devouring Python baby."

Thankfully, the third order was different, otherwise, Lin Yun might have felt like a prophet.

However, Daoist Master Huang Long really doesn’t know how to treat people!

He doesn’t even care about those who do his bidding; no future there.

Lin Yun nodded to indicate he understood, and the man in black left on his own.

Glancing around, Lin Yun quickly picked up Wang Wanqiu and fled.

This place is not good for a long stay. I just came out for a stroll and became a contact point for others; where is the justice in this?

Having carried Wang Wanqiu back to the inn, Lin Yun set her down, only to realize that she had woken up at some point and was looking at him with a complex expression.

"When did you wake up?"

Lin Yun asked somewhat awkwardly.

"When you were ready to kill me."

Lin Yun: "..."

This is even more awkward.

"If I say this is all a misunderstanding, would you believe me? I don’t even know those two in black."

"I believe you."

Lin Yun: "..."

You believe that?

He looked at Wang Wanqiu skeptically, only to hear her say indifferently, "Whatever happened in your past, I won’t ask about it. As long as you come back with me, I’m willing to do anything for you."

Lin Yun: "..."

Well, there’s no need for explanations then.

But this is good in a way; explanations won’t clear it up, so let it be!

Not killing Wang Wanqiu is also fine; maybe she could be useful in the future.

"But why didn’t you take the chance to kill me?"

Wang Wanqiu was somewhat puzzled.

In her opinion, if it were her on a mission and there was a risk of her identity being exposed, she would definitely eliminate the threat.

Murder to silence someone is the norm.

"Isn’t ’I didn’t want to kill you’ reason enough?"

Lin Yun said casually.

That’s right, he just didn’t want to kill anyone.

He could have, but there was no need. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Wang Wanqiu nodded and said, "Then I thank you for sparing my life. Are you going to complete your mission in Han River City next?"

Lin Yun: "..."

That settles it, Wang Wanqiu already sees him as a double agent...
