The Way to Please Her

Upon hearing the words of the Nightless Sky Family Head, Lin Yu immediately spoke up.

"Of course, she's always been interesting... she's just a bit emotionally unstable and too prone to anxiety and worry."

His reply seemed like a thoughtless one, but it was actually a prepared statement that Lin Yu had already prepared in advance.

As Lin Yu spoke, the Nightless Sky Family Head laughed.

"She's not bad, so you'll need to provide her with plenty of assistance..."

"I entrusted the Heavenly Scroll to her this time so that she would have some confidence," the Nightless Sky Family Head sighed. "None of my children are any good. A Luo, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

"Actually, both Huo Shu and Huo Le are pretty good... Of course, I still support Huo Le a little more."

Lin Yu said with a smile.

The Nightless Sky Family Head gently tapped the book lying face down on his lap.

"Is it because you and Huo Le are closer?"

"Of course," Lin Yu, disguised as Fu Luo, didn't shy away from the somewhat probing question, but answered confidently, "If I don't help those I'm close to, am I supposed to help those I'm distant from?"

Hearing Lin Yu's self-righteous and absurd reasoning, the Nightless Sky Family Head laughed.

"That makes sense... A Luo, if any of my offspring were like you, I would have no worries."

"However, I've heard that Huo Shu is also trying to win you over... If you want, you can become close to him too, right?"

"The Nightless Sky Family Head asked in a low voice."

Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Although he looks like a child, his temperament is indeed that of a clan leader.

Each question was sharp and difficult to answer—no wonder the Nightless Sky Huo Le was nervous.

Having stood at the pinnacle of power for so long, the Nightless Sky Family Head exudes the aura of an absolute ruler in every gesture he makes.

Moreover, she lives deep within this tower, and judging from her appearance, Lin Yu couldn't even imagine how she interacted with the outside world...

However, the Nightless Sky Family Head still seems to have access to information about various events that are happening or about to happen within and outside the family, and in the City That Never Sleeps.

From casually mentioning the plight of other Royal Nobles families, to now casually recounting Fu Luo's interactions with the Nightless Sky Huo Shu...

All of this demonstrates that she not only understands the outside world, but also has an almost complete grasp of this information.

Fortunately, I was playing the role of "Fu Luo"...

Lin Yu directly addressed this thorny issue using the method of "Fu Luo".

"The Nightless Sky Huo Shu is really no good... He tried to win me over again today, and this time he chose a hot spring as the location. I had just finished bathing when he suddenly jumped out of the pool like a lake elf in a bathhouse, and then, without any clothes on, he started trying to win me over, asking me to support him Family Head... It scared me quite a bit!"

"And all he did was boast about how great he was... In the end, he just made empty promises of benefits without any substance. How can I work with him? If I did, I'd go hungry nine times out of three!"

Lin Yu responded to the Nightless Sky Family Head's question in a humorous manner.

As expected, the Nightless Sky Family Head was amused by Lin Yu's imitation of Fu Luo's speech and couldn't help but laugh.

"Huo Shu really lacks a bit of magnanimity... Like his father, he's more than capable of managing a small family and keeping a good name for himself. But if we were small households like Count or viscounts, it's hard to say who would be more suitable, him or Huo Le."

"Unfortunately, Royal Nobles don't need Family Head only cares about maintaining the status quo."

"Of course, if Huo Le remains weak and unable to command respect after obtaining the Heavenly Scroll, I will have to consider Huo Shu..."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "If you put it that way, I'll tell her when I get out."

"I told you precisely because I wanted you to tell her," said the Nightless Sky Family Head. "So many people in the family and company support Huo Shu, and she has my favor and affection, yet she can't act freely... In that respect, she's just as foolish as her father, who comes from the Saint Orchid Family!"

For the first time, the tone of the Nightless Sky Family Head wavered, seemingly tinged with disappointment and frustration.

"You told her about the assassination mission for Noble in the Outer City, which was already a hint, but she still didn't understand... I just reminded her again, but she still didn't get it."

"The Nightless Sky Family Head said in a low voice."

Lin Yu curled his lip.

He said that's not what he meant...

However, Lin Yu already understood what the Nightless Sky Family Head was referring to.

"It's a good thing that Miss Huo Le is kind-hearted."

"Kindness has its time. When I was seventeen, the Family Head designated me as his successor," the Nightless Sky Family Head said calmly. "At that time, I had two older Older Brother, and the competition I faced was much greater than that of Huo Le ... Few of my uncles or company executives were optimistic about me."

"Until I began cultivating my own power and killing people, uncles, cousins, Branch Family relatives, company executives... anyone who gave me a pretext, I killed them directly; those who couldn't, I sent people to assassinate them—within three years, heads rolled on the ground, and after three years, no one dared to say that I wasn't the heir of the Nightless Sky Family."

"Even my two good-for-nothing elder Older Brother are willing to be my assistants and deputies."

"Huo Le just hasn't figured it out. She can't kill Huo Shu, she can't kill Huo Shu's biological father, but apart from her own siblings and my nominal husband, everyone else is someone she can kill—if she doesn't do it well, I will punish her... but that's all I will punish her for."

"Paris, the Nightless Sky Huo Ming, what sharp blades... In all these years, she hasn't killed a single member of her clan... How lamentable!"

The Nightless Sky Family Head sighed, and Lin Yu quickly echoed his sentiments.

"The child is young, just give her some more time."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the Nightless Sky Family Head's expression softened. "You're right, her current situation isn't quite there yet. We still need to give her some time to grow."

"Alright, A Luo, let's not talk about these worrying things anymore..."

As the Nightless Sky Family Head spoke, he stood up from the top of the stairs and then lightly jumped down.

Despite being a living, breathing person, her body floated lightly in the air like a sheet of paper, slowly descending.

Just like a flying squirrel.

She landed lightly in front of Lin Yu reached out and caught her—her body was indeed as light as a piece of paper.

His long hair spread out on the ground like silk, and the fiery red eyes of the Nightless Sky Family Head were close at hand, reflecting Lin Yu's figure.

"It's time to please me, A Luo."

She spoke softly, and Lin Yu let out a breath.

What's coming will eventually come.

But... how exactly did Fu Luo "please" her?

Even though he made a sarcastic remark that Fu Luo was a scoundrel, Lin Yu was quite certain that he hadn't actually done anything outrageous.

So, Lin Yu coughed lightly and tentatively spoke again.

"Hmm... where should I begin?"

He gave an ambiguous answer.

The Nightless Sky Family Head was somewhat displeased. "You've forgotten again... Last time you mentioned that you and that Captain Hastings came to the Steels Manor and found Emily dead in her room, the cause of death being poisoning, but all three room doors were locked."

"What happened next? Tell me quickly what happened next!"

"And... you still haven't told me why you stopped working with that Doctor named Watson... I think Hastings isn't as good as Watson!"
