Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 523 Humanity and Sophistication

Although he was secretly ridiculed by Buyetian Huo Le, Buyetian Huo Shu finally seized the opportunity and left in the car.

Perhaps he is not as courageous as Buye Tian Huo Le, but in Lin Yu's opinion, this ability to not be affected by the outside world and only focus on his own safety and gains and losses is also an excellent quality to become the head of the family.

However, considering that the Patriarch of Buyetian said that there was no need for a "Master of the Establishment"...

Lin Yu sighed silently, this Nevernight Fire Tree could only be regarded as a "grindstone".

Afterwards, Sheng Lankui also prepared to evacuate with his seriously injured butler Barry - he did not act so embarrassed as to directly call for a VIP car to run away, but instead seriously prepared to leave through the main gate.

Before leaving, he even came over and took a look at Lin Yu.

"Forboluo, I express my sincere gratitude to you for saving my butler."

Lin Yu looked at Sheng Lankui with some surprise and found that the other party was surprisingly sincere.

Following the principle of not hitting someone who smiles at you, he said casually, "It's okay, just something that happens..."

Sheng Lankui shook his head: "No, no matter what, without you, Barry would definitely be dead. I owe you a favor this time. If you have any difficulties in the future, I can help you."

Afterwards, Sheng Lankui paused and added, "Of course, when it comes to pursuing the Nevernight Fire Apricot, I won't give in or be soft-handed. After all, one thing is one thing."

Sheng Lankui said this seriously, and Lin Yu flicked the brim of his hat.

Before he could speak, Buyetian Huo Le chuckled and spoke teasingly.

"Why would you give in? Huo Xing might not even remember who you are."

"Oh, and besides...why don't you mention the duel? Come on, duel with Forbolto!"

Sheng Lankui glanced at Buyetian Huo Le with his dead eyes: "According to the Justice Act, dueling is illegal... You told me that."

Lin Yu also shrugged: "Don't worry, I don't intend to use this favor to make a fuss about the Nevernight Fire Apricot incident..."

He didn't even plan to pursue Buyetian Huoxing.

Sheng Lankui nodded: "That's good, I knew you were sensible. Love is such a sacred, precious, and beautiful thing, it really can't be tainted by too much complicated worldly things!"

"But besides asking me to give up my pursuit of the Nevernight Fire Apricot, you can ask for anything else—as long as it doesn't go against the interests of our Shenglan family and doesn't require me to betray the family."

As Sheng Lankui spoke, Buyetian Huo Le spoke lightly.

"Forpolo, do me a favor—get him to withdraw from the competition for the next Shenglan Patriarch."

Hearing Buyetian Huo Le's words, Sheng Lankui's face changed slightly - especially when he saw that Lin Yu actually looked thoughtful, he quickly spoke.

"Of course not. This is detrimental to the interests of the Shenglan family..."

Buyetian Huo Le looked at him, somewhat surprised.

"If you don't become the clan leader, the interests of the Shenglan family will be damaged? You are so arrogant... Where does your confidence come from? You can definitely do better than Shenglan Lai?"

Lin Yu had no doubt that if he asked either Buyetian Huo Le or Buyetian Huo Shu this question, the brother and sister would shamelessly say "yes".

But unfortunately, Sheng Lankui seems to have some pride.

He could only blush and say, "Anyway... this is just not possible. This request is too unreasonable."

Huo Le said "Oh" in disappointment, then said, "So the final right of interpretation belongs to you. That's fine too."

Sheng Lankui could no longer bear Buyetian Huo Le's overt and covert attacks. He looked at Lin Yu and quickly concluded: "Anyway... Forboluo, if you have any difficulties, just come to Sheng Lan's house and tell me or Barry's name."

"I will compete with you squarely at the next birthday party!"

After saying that, Sheng Lankui quickly turned around and left.

Lin Yu watched Sheng Lankui leave and couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, this guy's brain is very abnormal..."

I don’t know if it’s Sheng Lankui’s own problem or if it’s just the style of the Shenglan family.

Compared to the highly modernized City That Never Sleeps, which is built on a corporate system, the Shenglan Family, as one of the ruling forces, is more like the powerful aristocrats of the feudal era, and seems to attach great importance to reputation, etiquette, and other superficial efforts.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Sheng Lankui has some unusual standards for choosing a partner and likes to go to the outer city to take on assassination commissions for excitement.

Huo Le of Buyetian also watched Sheng Lankui leave and couldn't help but sneer.

"Among the group of people loading goods, he is the best."

"Still owing someone a favor... Hypocrite, if you ran into trouble in the City That Never Sleeps, why would you go to him instead of me, Forpolo?"

Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huo Le's stern face and couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, the Shenglan family is abnormal, and the Buyetian family is not much better.

"That little girl's sudden high-pitched aggression just now seems to be a possessive attack on you. She has such a prominent family background, yet she's so insecure...it must be the companionship and care of her parents."

Old Zheng commented scathingly, expressing what Lin Yu was thinking.

However, Lin Yu was not very happy to hear what Lao Zheng said next.

"I feel like this little girl is gradually looking for the missing fatherly love in you, and is developing a different kind of dependence on you... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Director, you are deeply sinful."

Lin Yu felt helpless.

"It has nothing to do with me. It was all Fu Luo's fault... I was only with her for a short while."

Old Zheng said nothing, but smiled mysteriously: "Haha!"

But Buyetian Huo Le looked at the silent Lin Yu, as if he had misunderstood something, and spoke again in a steady tone.

"Of course, I'm not saying you can't use this favor. It's really a shame to waste it..."

"How about this? I'll tell you about the Shenglan family's areas of expertise and what precious treasures they have. Then you can go find them and get some benefits. How about that?"

"Don't you 'Visitors from Other Worlds' love collecting those precious things?"

As Huo Le spoke, his expression remained calm, though he showed no emotion.

But Lin Yu always felt that she seemed a little anxious.

Looking at this young lady who was born to stand at the pinnacle of the city that never sleeps but now seems to be particularly worried that he has some dissatisfaction with her, Lin Yu shook his head slightly.

"It's okay, I've already figured out how to use this favor..."

"I just happened to want to ask him something—some information that only Saint Lankui would know."

As Lin Yu spoke, Buyetian Huo Le nodded slightly.

"Ask something? That's fine too..."

Lin Yu patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go. Sheng Lankui owes me a favor, don't you owe me one too?"

"Go buy me some clothes!"

When Huo Le heard what Lin Yu said, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"What do I owe you?"

"You should have been on my side!"

She said, then paused: "Of course... I won't take such risks next time."
