Chapter 513 Marriage, Assassination, and Chaos
Chapter 513 Marriage, Assassination, and Chaos
Lin Yu felt that the words of Buyetian Huo Le were slightly familiar.
He coughed lightly and corrected Buyetian Huoshu: "I have no intention of marrying Lord Huo Le."
Buyetian Huo Le also spoke immediately.
"Yeah, who said I was getting married? I was planning to let Forboluo pursue Huo Xing from Buyetian!"
Hearing this, Buyetian Huoshu was even more shocked and spoke excitedly.
"Bu Ye Tian Fire Apricot? How did you come up with that?"
However, the Holy Orchid next to it was more excited than the Nevernight Fire Tree.
"What?! Nevernight Fire Apricot! How...how dare you!"
Sheng Lankui looked at Lin Yu.
The social mask on the face of the young master of the Shenglan family cracked briefly, and the polite attitude he had towards Lin Yu, which was due to his concern that "Bu Ye Tian Huo Shu was optimistic about him", suddenly disappeared for a moment.
"You, a lowly commoner, actually dream of marrying a direct descendant of the Buyetian family, Buyetian Huo Le... Do you think your family will approve of your foolish plan?"
Huo Le of Buyetian spoke calmly.
"In fact, Forbolo and I visited Mother this afternoon."
She didn't say it clearly. After all, Huo Le didn't know what Lin Yu had said to her mother.
But this sentence was enough to make Sheng Lankui blush.
"Damn it, damn it... How could the head of the Buyetian family agree to this?! He's not a prince or a noble, not even a noble or a superior... He's not even from the Buyetian City!"
Buyetian Huoshu quickly looked at Shenglan Kui and said, "Brother Kui, don't worry. Mother may just be saying 'no objection'. There's still hope."
Of course, in Lin Yu's opinion, if he really married Forpolo and Buyetian Huoxing on behalf of Buyetian, the head of Buyetian would probably agree with it...
So what Buyetian Huole said was not a lie.
But Lin Yu was a little curious.
"I say, isn't Buyetian Huoxing's biological brother Buyetian Huoshu? Why is this Shenglankui even more excited than Buyetian Huoshu?"
A rare smile of joy appeared on Huo Le's face, and he responded in a low voice.
"It's simple. Sheng Lankui is the suitor of Nevernight Fire Apricot. He is the most prestigious of all your competitors."
"Really? Isn't he the heir of the Shenglan family with a bright future? Why does he need to marry the Buyetian Fire Apricot?" Lin Yu said in surprise. "Didn't you say that the Buyetian Fire Apricot has a bad reputation?"
"He's not marrying for personal gain. Sheng Lankui really likes Buyetian Huoxing—even though Huoxing has a strange personality, he just seems to like that type," Buyetian Huole said seriously. "Precisely because he might inherit the Shenglan family in the future, he doesn't need to use his marriage to climb up the social ladder or seek profit. He only needs to choose a significant figure, and Buyetian Huoxing fits that bill perfectly... She's a direct descendant of the Buyetian family, but not a favored one."
"However, it is precisely because of this that my mother has never agreed to his request."
Lin Yu thought about it and accepted this setting.
Although he had always heard about the bad character of Huo Xing from Buyetian, but considering that Sheng Lankui's hobby was to go to Gray Third Street on the edge of the outer city to take on difficult commissions and act as a mercenary, it seemed acceptable that he had some special hobbies in choosing a partner.
At this time, Sheng Lankui, who had calmed down a little, looked at Lin Yu and spoke again in a cold voice.
"Forboluo, huh? You're great... I actually admire you, the outsider who climbs to the top by any means necessary. It's a pity that your efforts are misdirected."
"In order to achieve your own goals, you actually chose to get your hands on the Nevernight Fire Apricot—you are making an enemy of me."
Lin Yu looked at Sheng Lankui and suddenly asked.
"The word 'getting involved' is a bit too much. I haven't even seen the Nevernight Fire Apricot yet..."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Sheng Lankui became even more annoyed, with anger visible on his face: "Then you are even more blasphemous. You haven't even met Miss Huo Xing... Marriage is very sacred and cannot be desecrated. You don't even know whether you like Miss Huo Xing or not, how can you pursue her!"
"Are you pursuing a marriage without emotion, without love, and only based on interests?"
When Lin Yu heard Sheng Lankui's words, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
There is nothing wrong with this statement, it is a very correct principle, but...
"Is this something you, a prince and noble, should say?"
Lin Yu suddenly understood the criticism of the various families by the head of the Buye Tian family.
At least the heir of the Shenglan family is indeed a bit "naive".
As the future head of one of the five noble families, what love could he expect in his marriage?
What's more, Sheng Lankui had just attacked himself for being a "commoner"...
On the one hand, as a nobleman, this guy seems to have a very open-minded concept of "freedom of marriage and love", but on the other hand, he retains some feudal concepts of "equal status".
After thinking about it, Lin Yu looked at Sheng Lankui and asked sincerely.
"Have you ever seen the Nevernight Fire Apricot?"
"Of course, I've definitely met Miss Huo Xing," Sheng Lankui said confidently. "I've personally experienced Miss Huo Xing's charm. After meeting and talking with her, I've developed a deep admiration for her from the bottom of my heart!"
Lin Yu asked again: "Does Buyetian Huoxing like you?"
Sheng Lankui was silent.
Buyetian Huole chuckled: "Can Buyetian Huoxing really tell the difference between you and the other members of the Shenglan family?"
"Well, I think it should be possible..."
Sheng Lankui muttered.
Huo Shu quickly said, "It's okay. Feelings can be cultivated. Huo Xing is the slow-moving type..."
The comfort from the Nevernight Fire Tree was like adding fuel to the fire.
Sheng Lankui clenched his fists and looked at Lin Yu.
"Forbolo, I want to duel with you!"
Before Lin Yu could reply, Buyetian Huo Le spoke softly, "My beloved cousin Sheng Lankui, after the Equality Act was enacted, dueling is illegal, even for a noble like you—are you not planning to inherit the position of Patriarch? Then I'm happy to tell Sheng Lanlai the good news."
Sheng Lankui was speechless again.
But after a moment, he visibly calmed down and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, besides 'duel', I have many other ways to kill you... Even if you are favored by the Buyetian family, you are still just a commoner after all."
"You're not good at fighting... and you 'outsiders' can't be under protection all the time."
He threatened Lin Yu openly, and at the same time stretched out his hand and made a "you're dead" gesture to Lin Yu.
And after Sheng Lankui made this gesture.
"Snapped!"
All the lights suddenly went out and the entire restaurant fell into darkness!
At this moment, amid the faint commotion in the restaurant, Lin Yu immediately heard the sounds of the two groups of bodyguards around him turning on various equipment and changing formations at a rapid pace.
The bright searchlights came on, surrounding the three princes and nobles.
At the same time, Lin Yu also felt that Buyetian Huo Le jumped over the table and stood in front of him.
"Are you going to do it now, Sheng Lankui?!"
"How brave!"
Sheng Lankui's angry voice came from afar: "I didn't do this..."
The curses of the Nevernight Fire Tree also rang out: "Where is the manager of the Jinnan family? What's going on? Why did the power suddenly go out?"
Listening to these people's speeches, Lin Yu suddenly thought of something.
"Hey, Nevernight Fire Music... Where does Sheng Lankui rank in the family?"
"He is the third son, and Saint Lanlai is the eldest son..."
After saying this, Buyetian Huo Le's face changed slightly, and he realized what Lin Yu meant by asking this.
"Sheng Lankui, be careful, this is coming for your housekeeper!"
