My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1039 Western Spy
Yun Zhongzi stared at the woman, feeling an increasing affinity for her, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Immortals have excellent memories and it's impossible for them to forget someone they've met once. But even if Yun Zhongzi found her familiar, he couldn't remember when or where he had ever encountered such a beautiful and elegant young girl.

"You recognize me?" Yun Zhongzi asked doubtfully. "We shouldn't have met before, right?"

Those who can call him "fellow Daoist" are definitely not ordinary people; they must at least be cultivators, and their cultivation level must be at least at the Celestial Immortal realm.

Yun Zhongzi tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember ever seeing this fairy standing in the dark alley when he attended the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet.

"Could it be," Yun Zhongzi pondered, "that you were sent down from above specifically to find me and help me with my investigation..."

Before he could finish speaking, the woman in white raised her finger to signal for silence, quickly stepped forward, took Yun Zhongzi's arm, and said softly, "This is not the place to talk. Please come with me."

As she spoke, she took his arm and led him toward a nearby alley.

"Ha, men, they say they have no worldly desires, but all they do is think I'm not young and pretty enough. If you find someone younger and more radiant, they'll wag their tails and follow me around..."

The middle-aged human woman, who had previously failed to attract business, grumbled with a long face.

The woman exuded a faint, refreshing sandalwood scent. Yun Zhongzi, who had never been close to women in his life, did not like being too close to them, but he did not find it unpleasant to have her bend her arm and press against his.

After walking into the narrow alley and winding around, they arrived at a typical privately built building in an urban village. The woman led Yun Zhongzi upstairs and into a private rental room inside the building.

The room was sparsely furnished, with only a large bed.

Upon entering the room, the woman skillfully began to undress. As her long, white dress slid down, Yun Zhongzi was taken aback and quickly said, "Wait, what are you doing? Didn't you have something to say to me?"

"You should take off your clothes first, and we'll talk in bed..."

"Wait, what do you mean we have to say this in bed with our clothes off? Are you trying to trick me into doing business with you? I don't have any money."

Even when Yun Zhongzi was on the battlefield of ten thousand immortals, he wasn't as panicked as he is now, fearing that his lifelong reputation would be ruined on this bed.

The woman lowered her voice and said, "Fellow Daoist, this is a last resort. The Demon Alliance's Skynet surveillance is omnipresent. It can not only capture images, but also conduct AI behavior analysis to uncover potential criminal plots. Conspiracies between cultivators are a key target of Skynet's surveillance."

“If you and I don’t take this for granted, and the Skynet hears us once we utter the keywords, this whole area will be surrounded by martial arts puppets sent directly by the Heavenly Court in no time.”

"Surely not, are you going to make this a real show? Is Skynet really that powerful?"

Yun Zhongzi looked troubled and was caught in a dilemma. To investigate Wen Rui, he was risking his primordial yang body, which had been preserved for thousands of years. It would be a losing proposition.

Even though the human woman was quite beautiful and her temperament did not displease Yun Zhongzi, he was still unwilling. He was not mentally prepared to experience the trials of love in the mortal world.

"It's even more amazing than you imagined..."

The woman lowered her voice and explained, "However, fellow Daoist, you seem to have misunderstood something. It's my fault for not explaining clearly. We just need to pretend that we are engaged in some kind of sexual transaction; we don't need to actually do the whole thing."

"Removing clothing is because Skynet surveillance does not allow infringement on citizens' right to privacy, that is, it cannot record images and sounds of the most private acts. Once AI detects such a situation, it will cut off the tracking signal. This is the most effective way to avoid Skynet surveillance."

"If you want to say anything that involves secrets, take off your clothes first, otherwise it will be diffused into the air and recorded by ubiquitous nanobots."

The woman had now removed her clothes, revealing her beautiful figure, thus fulfilling the condition of privacy protection, and only then did she reveal the crucial information. Yun Zhongzi, being exceptionally intelligent, understood immediately.

He himself was definitely a key target of Wen Rui's surveillance, and was bound to be on the Skynet's blacklist of key surveillance targets. Every move and every word would be recorded and eventually fall into Wen Rui's hands.

This unidentified woman must be someone sent down from above to help him, but under Wen Rui's close surveillance, it is inconvenient for her to make contact with him.

But she seems to have figured out Wen Rui's methods of monitoring the world, and even found a loophole in them. By using this loophole, she can avoid being monitored and eavesdropped on.

Although he wasn't actually going to do anything, Yun Zhongzi was still a little uncomfortable being so open with a young girl. However, considering the importance of the matter and that he couldn't have a proper conversation without taking off his clothes, he gritted his teeth and took off his floral shirt and oversized shorts.

Even though he was shirtless, just as he was about to speak, the woman still raised her finger to signal for silence, and then pointed to his underwear.

Yun Zhongzi sighed inwardly and had no choice but to take off the last piece of cloth that was close to his body.

It seems that Skynet's standards for judging privacy are more stringent for men; if key organs are not exposed, it may not even be considered an exposure of privacy.

"Now you're not afraid of anything you say being recorded, right?"

After taking off his underwear, Yun Zhongzi felt extremely uncomfortable. He suppressed the urge to cover himself and pretended to be calm, saying in a deep voice.

"No problem. Are you Yun Zhongzi from Zhongnan Mountain?"

Fortunately, the woman was very calm. Although she was naked like Yun Zhongzi, she remained composed, which greatly eased Yun Zhongzi's embarrassment and made him feel more favorably toward the woman.

"Call me fellow Daoist, and guess my Daoist title..."

Yun Zhongzi pondered and said, "It seems you are not from the Heavenly Court, and were not sent by Yang Ren?"

"As expected, the Heavenly Court has also sensed the conspiracy of that evil god Wen Rui!"

Upon hearing this, the woman was overjoyed and excitedly put her palms together in a gesture of respect, saying, "This humble monk comes from Mount Ling and is Kasyapa, the chief disciple of the Buddha."

"Eh? You, you are Venerable Kasyapa?"

Yun Zhongzi looked at her in disbelief, examining her from head to toe and checking several times. He couldn't find any trace of illusion, magic, supernatural powers, or spells on her. Her shapely, fair body was clearly the original.

"That can't be right, Fellow Daoist Kasyapa. I saw you at the Ullambana Festival. You... you didn't look like this back then. Could it be that you've been disguised as a man all this time?"

"It's just a stinking skin, why should you worry about it, fellow Daoist? Our Western Sect has its own method of reincarnation, what's so difficult about slightly changing one's appearance?"

Yun Zhongzi then remembered that his former fellow disciple Cihang from the Chan Sect had switched allegiance to the Western Sect and seemed to have changed his appearance, transforming from a fellow disciple into a fellow disciple.

"The Demon Alliance only closely monitors Taoist cultivators, and they are allowed to move freely in Demon Alliance cities. But when it comes to my Western Sect monks, they arrest them one by one without distinguishing right from wrong."

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "I was ordered by Buddha to infiltrate the Demon Alliance to investigate, so I had no choice but to give up my old skin and put on this new one, otherwise I would be unable to move an inch."
