The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 86: Tailgating and the Small Grove

Last time we spoke of Lin Yun beginning his Divine Cultivation, he mistakenly lodged his Divine Sense within the Exquisite Heart, leaving the Flower Fairy troubled yet powerless. Although his Divine Soul had grown much stronger, it was still an embarrassment for him.

Three days passed before his master granted permission for her to descend the mountain and attend the celebration at Purple Cloud Mountain. (A summary of the previous Chapter in one sentence)

The celebration at Purple Cloud Mountain officially started in the evening, and during the daytime, Lin Yun could have continued his cultivation, but due to the noise from the preparations for the evening ceremony, he found it bothersome and told the Mountain Guardian Disciple he wanted to go down the mountain for a stroll.

He wasn’t a disciple, but a guest, so he had quite a bit of freedom in his movements.

He hadn’t descended the mountain in the previous two days because he wanted to give Fang Yu a chance to swing her hoe well, and at the same time, he was crafting an image of diligence for himself.

Today seemed like a good day to go down the mountain. He also wanted to inform Dongfang Hongyue that the Cheating Heaven Record was with him and that she could deal with the box however she saw fit.

Little did Lin Yun know that at this moment, Dongfang Hongyue had already arrived at the foot of Purple Cloud Mountain...

As the Sect Hierarch of the Demon Sect, coming to the territory of the Righteous Path, and especially to the Shenxiao Sect that has always been at odds with the Demon Sect, was plainly seeking trouble.

But Dongfang Hongyue was not content!

After returning, she had no interest in opening the treasure box; her thoughts were fixated on Lin Yun.

At first, she was waiting, feeling that perhaps she was overthinking things, that Lin Yun had not abandoned her, but after three days with no word from Lin Yun, Dongfang Hongyue was completely heartbroken.

Unable to stay idle at Sunblaze Mountain, she resolved to see Lin Yun face to face.

Even if Lin Yun truly didn’t want her as his master anymore, she wanted to clear her heart of this matter.

Perhaps, Lin Yun simply found it inconvenient to contact her—for instance, he might be under suspicion and confined right now...

As Dongfang Hongyue thought this, she suddenly saw a man coming down from the mountain—it was none other than her cherished but wayward disciple!

It seemed he wasn’t being restricted at all!

Dongfang Hongyue watched Lin Yun, her eyes filled with grievance.

He clearly wasn’t captured, so why didn’t he get in touch with me.

When he needed her, he said she was his favorite, but as soon as he got a new master, he declared there were no ties left between them.

Dongfang Hongyue’s nose turned sour, the pain was almost unbearable.

But she would not cry.

I will endure!

Dongfang Hongyue didn’t immediately go to meet Lin Yun; she chose to secretly observe instead.

This was also giving Lin Yun a chance, or perhaps, she still held a sliver of hope that Lin Yun had not abandoned her.

Lin Yun had originally planned to find a place to contact Dongfang Hongyue once he descended the mountain, but as soon as he was down, he felt the gaze of someone watching him.

Before, he might not have noticed Dongfang Hongyue’s scrutiny, but these past few days of Divine Cultivation had significantly strengthened his Divine Soul, and even though he could not pinpoint who was monitoring him, Lin Yun trusted his intuition.

Well, he thought Fang Yu had completely trusted him, but it turned out she was still keeping watch.

Lin Yun had intended to go to the Jade Green Pavilion to scrape up some resources, but now that he was being watched, it was not a good time to make contact, nor was it suitable to reach out to Dongfang Hongyue.

He might as well pretend he was out shopping!

Lin Yun pretended to be leisurely, wandering around for a while and even bought a flute.

This instrument—something he could play—would complement his white clothes nicely and when played, he felt it would look quite stylish.

Maybe it could further charm Fang Yu!

Ugh, there seemed no need for such an extensive conquest.

But by the same token, charming other junior sisters would be good as well, of course, Lin Yun thought this would make his undercover role more convenient.

After wandering around enough, Lin Yun felt it was time to return.

Being constantly watched was not a comfortable feeling.

On his way back up the mountain, that sensation of being watched disappeared.

Indeed, Fang Yu still didn’t trust him!

However, halfway up the mountain, Lin Yun took advantage of nobody seeing him and dashed swiftly toward a small grove.

He even used the Cheating Heaven Step Technique to conceal his trail.

Who would have thought that I could still find an opportunity halfway up!

But what Lin Yun hadn’t anticipated was that Dongfang Hongyue followed him into the woods after he entered.

Initially, Dongfang Hongyue thought she might as well give up and return, heartbroken, but as she endured, her anger grew, and she gave chase once again.

To avoid detection, she too concealed her movements, and thus Lin Yun didn’t notice her.

Watching Lin Yun sneak into the small grove, Dongfang Hongyue was somewhat astonished, but this was her chance.

After setting up a concealment array with a wave of her hand, Dongfang Hongyue appeared in front of Lin Yun.

"Master?!"

Lin Yun jumped in fright.

Oh shoot, why is Dongfang Hongyue here?

His startled look only made Dongfang Hongyue both angry and sad.

Am I that scary?

She said sourly, "You still call me master?"

The subtext was: Aren’t you already someone else’s disciple?

Seeing her unfriendly expression, Lin Yun suddenly understood.

Aiyah, my wife is really tsundere, last time she said not to call her that, now she’s angry when I don’t.

Lin Yun could only laugh and say, "Xiao Yueyue, how did you get here!"

Dongfang Hongyue: "..."

Is that what she meant?

Couldn’t this traitorous disciple see that she was really angry?!

And he dared to call her Xiao Yueyue!

"I was just passing by and happened to see you’re enjoying yourself quite a bit, you wouldn’t think I came here specifically to find you, would you?"

Lin Yun: "..."

So sour!

Lin Yun could see it now, Dongfang Hongyue was still jealous!

It must be because of the Flower Fairy incident a few days ago, such intense jealousy.

But Dongfang Hongyue like this was really cute.

"I’m not enjoying myself at all, I think about you every day."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hongyue’s heart suddenly relieved, if Lin Yun could say that, does it mean he hasn’t betrayed her?

But precisely because she felt relieved, she felt even sadder.

"Heh, as if I’d believe you. If you really missed me, why didn’t you contact me?"

Seeing Dongfang Hongyue’s attitude, Lin Yun understood even better.

She was indeed giving him the silent treatment.

So, Dongfang Hongyue really came looking for him on purpose?

The more Lin Yun thought about it, the sweeter he felt inside; the tsundere Dongfang Hongyue seemed even more adorable.

"I wanted to, but I’m in a critical period of being undercover. I came down the mountain today just to contact you."

Dongfang Hongyue believed Lin Yun’s words, after all, he had deliberately dived into the grove earlier.

But, she had been anxious and scared for three days, how could she forgive him so easily!

Turning her head away, Dongfang Hongyue continued sourly, "Really? I thought you had devoted yourself to the Righteous Path and really wanted to cut ties with me!"

"How could that be possible!"

Lin Yun took a step forward and grabbed Dongfang Hongyue’s hand.

After a slight struggle, Dongfang Hongyue heard Lin Yun say, "My body may be on the Righteous Path, but my heart will always be with you."

"Hmph, liar, then how could you cross the United Hearts Bridge with another woman, your heart must have been with her long ago!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

At these words, Dongfang Hongyue’s emotions completely unravelled, and her eyes misted over.

Seeing her upset, Lin Yun took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Dongfang Hongyue’s waist.

"That was an accident, I suspect it was because of this thing."

Lin Yun thought carefully, he and the Flower Fairy were at most slightly acquainted; maybe, after experiencing the dream, and considering how handsome he was, it was normal for the Flower Fairy to fall for him, but he had not fallen for the Flower Fairy at that time.

Remembering the Flower Fairy’s determined look at the time, Lin Yun could only guess it was because of this thing.

"Is this... the Exquisite Heart?"
