Finding someone else to do the work was a path Hu Yuling had never envisaged, thinking that by finding Lin Yun something to do, she could get him to leave the mountain.
But Lin Yun agreed readily, yet stayed on the mountain. Could it be that he had seen through my flawless performance?
This old fox is truly inscrutable!
She had no idea that because of her careless words, she had aroused Lin Yun's suspicions.
Lin Yun's standard of conduct was to err on the side of caution rather than to overlook a potential issue.
At worst, he would be wrong to doubt Hu Yuling's identity, which was still better than being outwitted after descending the mountain. Moreover, he had also sent someone to help collect the medicinal herbs that Hu Yuling needed, so there would be no delay in her affairs.
Now, Hu Yuling had a bit of a headache.
Without the task of collecting herbs, on what grounds could she coax Lin Yun down the mountain?
