The Ways of Human Relationships

Despite being subtly mocked by Nightless Sky Huo Le, Nightless Sky Huo Shu still hurriedly got into his car and left.

Perhaps he is not Nightless Sky Huo Le, but in Lin Yu's view, this ability to remain unaffected by external influences and focus solely on one's own safety and gains is also a fine quality that makes Family Head.

However, considering that the Nightless Sky Family Head himself said that he didn't need a "master of maintaining the status quo"...

Lin Yu sighed silently, realizing that the Nightless Sky Huo Shu could only be considered a "sharpening stone."

Afterwards, Saint Orchid Kui also prepared to leave with his seriously injured butler, Barry—he didn't rush off in a VIP car, but instead prepared to leave through the main entrance.

Before leaving, he even made a special trip over to take a look at Lin Yu.

"Sherlock, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you for saving my butler."

Lin Yu looked at Saint Orchid Kui with some surprise and found that she was surprisingly sincere.

Following the principle of not slapping a smiling face, he casually replied, "It's nothing, just a small favor..."

Saint Orchid Kui shook her head. "No, no matter what, Barry would definitely be dead without you—I owe you a favor this time, and I'll help you if you ever have any difficulties in the future."

Then, Saint Orchid Kui paused and added, "Of course, I won't back down or be lenient when it comes to pursuing the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot. After all, one thing is one thing."

Saint Orchid Kui spoke seriously, and Lin Yu flicked the brim of his hat.

Before he could speak, Nightless Sky Huo Le chuckled lightly, speaking in a teasing tone.

"What do you have to compromise on? Fire Apricot might not even remember who you are anymore."

"Oh, and... why didn't you mention the Duel? Come on, let's Duel with Sherlock!"

Saint Orchid Kui glanced at Nightless Sky Huo Le with her deadpan eyes. "According to the <Justice Act>, Duel is illegal... You're the one who told me that."

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

He didn't even intend to pursue the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.

Saint Orchid Kui nodded. "That's good. I knew you were a reasonable person—love is such a sacred, precious, and beautiful thing, it really shouldn't be tainted by too many complicated worldly matters!"

"However, apart from asking me to give up my pursuit of the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, you can ask for anything else—as long as it doesn't violate the interests of our Saint Orchid Family and doesn't require me to betray the family."

As Saint Orchid Kui spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Le spoke softly.

"Sherlock, do me a favor—get him out of the race for the next Saint Lan Tribe Leader."

Upon hearing the words of the Nightless Sky Huo Le, Saint Orchid Kui's expression changed slightly—especially when he saw that Lin Yu actually seemed to be deep in thought, he quickly spoke up.

"Of course not, this would harm the interests of the Saint Orchid Family..."

Nightless Sky Huo Le looked at him, somewhat surprised.

"If you don't Tribe Leader, the interests of the Saint Orchid Family will be harmed? You have quite the nerve... Where do you get the confidence that you can definitely do a better job Saint Orchid Lai?"

Lin Yu had no doubt that if either of the Nightless Sky Huo Le and Nightless Sky Huo Shu were asked this question, the siblings would shamelessly say "yes."

Unfortunately, Saint Orchid Kui seems to care about her reputation.

He could only blush and say, "Anyway... this just won't do. This request is too unreasonable."

Nightless Sky Huo Le gave a somewhat disappointed "Oh," and then said, "So the final interpretation right belongs to you, fine then."

Saint Orchid Kui could no longer withstand the open and covert attacks from Nightless Sky Huo Le. He looked at Lin Yu and quickly finished, "Anyway... Sherlock, if you have any difficulties, just come to the Saint Orchid Family and mention my name or Barry's name."

"I will compete with you fairly and squarely at the upcoming Birthday Banquet!"

After saying that, Saint Orchid Kui quickly turned and left.

Lin Yu watched Saint Orchid Kui leave, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This guy's definitely not right in the head..."

I don't know if it's a problem with Saint Orchid Kui herself, or if it's just the Saint Orchid Family's style.

Compared to the highly modernized, corporate-structured City That Never Sleeps, the Saint Orchid Family, as one of the ruling forces, is more like a powerful Noble from the feudal era, seemingly valuing reputation, etiquette, and other superficial aspects.

Perhaps this is why Saint Orchid Kui has some unusual criteria for choosing a partner and likes to take on assassination jobs in the Outer City for thrills.

Nightless Sky Huo Le watched Saint Orchid Kui leave, unable to suppress a cold laugh.

"Of all the cargo handlers, he was the biggest loader."

"Still owe me a favor... you hypocrite, did you run into trouble in the City That Never Sleeps, Sherlock instead of coming to me, you went to him?"

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

Of course, the Saint Orchid Family is abnormal, Nightless Sky Family isn't much better off.

"That girl's sudden heightened aggression just now seemed to be a manifestation of her possessiveness towards you. Such a distinguished family background, yet she seems so insecure... It must be due to the companionship and care of her parents."

Old Zheng offered his sharp critique, expressing exactly what Lin Yu was thinking.

However, Lin Yu was not so happy to hear what Old Zheng said next.

"I feel like this little girl is gradually finding the missing fatherly love in you, developing a strange dependence on you... Tsk tsk tsk, Director, you're deeply sinful."

Lin Yu felt helpless.

"What does this have to do with me? It was all Fu Luo... I was only with her for a short while."

Old Zheng remained silent, only giving a mysterious smile, "Hehe!"

Nightless Sky Huo Le looked at the silent Lin Yu, seemingly having misunderstood something, and spoke again in a calm tone.

"Of course, I'm not saying you can't use this favor; it would be a real shame to waste it..."

"How about this, I'll tell you about the areas the Saint Orchid Family excels in and what valuable things they have. Then you can go and try to get some benefits from them, how about that?"

"Don't you 'Otherworlder' really enjoy collecting those precious things?"

Nightless Sky Huo Le spoke, though no emotional fluctuation was visible and his face remained impassive...

But Lin Yu always felt that she seemed somewhat anxious and uneasy.

Looking at this Miss who was born to stand at the pinnacle of the City That Never Sleeps, yet now seemed unusually worried that he might have some dissatisfaction with her, Lin Yu gently shook his head.

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

"I happen to have some things I want to ask him—some information that only Saint Orchid Kui knows."

As Lin Yu spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Le nodded slightly.

"Want to ask some questions? That's fine..."

Lin Yu patted her shoulder. "Alright, let's go— Saint Orchid Kui owes me a favor, don't you owe me one too?"

"Go buy me some clothes right now!"

Nightless Sky Huo Le heard Lin Yu say that, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

What do I owe you?

"You should have been on my side from the start!"

She paused, then continued, "Of course... don't take such risks next time."
