Chapter 512: Nevernight Fire Music's Declaration
To be fair, Sheng Lankui was not arrogant enough to go to the outer city to accept the mission in his true appearance.
He still simply put on makeup and changed his appearance.
Unfortunately, in front of Lin Yu, the "master of disguise", he saw through the other party's identity almost instantly.
Lin Yu's long career of disguise, especially the disguise of the two identities "May May" and "Zhu Ming", has made him very sensitive to the "fine-tuning" on other people's faces.
and so……
"If Sheng Lankui doesn't have a twin brother, or if there isn't anyone in the Shenglan family who looks almost exactly like him, then this should be me."
Lin Yu made a judgment.
This guy who claimed to be a "confidant of a prince or nobleman" turned out to be a "prince or nobleman" himself.
And he should be the direct heir - otherwise he would not be so close to the Nevernight Fire Tree.
And if the "Captain" is "Saint Orchid"...
Why did he do this?
Could it be that Sheng Lankui is the employer?
Why is he hanging out with the Nevernight Fire Tree again?
Lin Yu thought quickly in his mind.
"His hanging out with Nevernight Fire Tree probably has nothing to do with him going to the outer city to pick up the C-77 commission."
"According to the information provided by the Buyetian Patriarch, there's only a small chance that Sheng Lankui could be the employer..."
"Most importantly, if the person who answered the phone was the 'employer' himself, his personality is completely different from Sheng Lankui's."
If we analyze this based on the rather metaphysical principle that "all princes and nobles have flaws"...
"Perhaps this 'Saint Lankui's' problem is that he likes to work as a mercenary in the outer city?"
Lin Yu guessed and thought.
But no matter what, Lin Yu still plans to find an opportunity to contact Sheng Lankui.
After all, although Sheng Lankui is most likely not the employer, there is a very high probability that he knows who the employer is!
This is very crucial information for Lin Yu.
Just when Lin Yu was thinking about how to get in touch with Sheng Lankui...
Buyetian Huoshu and Shenglankui actually brought their bodyguards, butlers and servants and walked straight towards where he and Huo Le were.
"Is it coming for us?"
Lin Yu spoke with some surprise.
"Not necessarily. After all, Sheng Lankui loves to travel around, eat, drink, and have fun. Among the current heirs of the five great noble families, he loves to travel the most besides Huo Xing," Huo Le of Buyetian whispered, "but since he saw the two of us, he definitely came over to say hello."
While Buyetian Huo Le was explaining, two people had already arrived at the table of Lin Yu and Buyetian Huo Le.
Buyetian Huoshu crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Oh, isn't this Buyetian Huole? What a coincidence."
He greeted Buyetian Huo Le very arrogantly.
"It's quite a coincidence indeed," Huo Le said calmly, looking at Sheng Lankui beside him. "Mr. Kui has good taste. The food in this restaurant is delicious."
Sheng Lankui grinned: "Of course, Miss Huo Le... But, could you please introduce who is this person next to you?"
"Forbolo, my staff."
Huo Le of Buyetian said lightly.
"Oh, so it's the famous 'Detective' Forpolo," Saint Lankui said with a smile. "I've often heard Mr. Huoshu talk about you. He said that with your help, the position of head of the family would definitely be in his grasp."
This Saint Lan Kui's speaking style is very different from when he was the captain.
He looks like he is wearing a social mask, and he appears polite, friendly and gentle.
But these friendly traits are distant and hypocritical, making people feel that he is somewhat distant.
Fortunately, Lin Yu was currently operating as "Forbolo", so it was easy to deal with him.
Faced with the other party's polite and tentative flattery, Lin Yu happily agreed.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir, but it is also true."
As he said this, Sheng Lankui laughed.
"How confident you are... However, Forboluo, I still want to remind you," Sheng Lankui paused, "Even though the head of the Buyetian family may have a preference for you, Mr. Huoshu also appreciates your talent."
"But as a commoner, it's best not to overstep your bounds and meddle too much... Not all nobles are as kind and gentle as Mr. Huoshu. You don't have any real 'reliability,' so be careful not to be used and discarded like trash. There's a saying in your land... Without prey, bows and hounds are useless. I hope you, Forboluo, will carefully consider your choice."
Sheng Lankui said with a faint smile.
Without waiting for Lin Yu to speak, Buye Tianhuole looked at Sheng Lankui with a smile.
Compared to the sarcastic Sheng Lankui, although Buyetian Huo Le had a smile on his face and spoke in a calm tone, his content was much more direct.
"Stop meddling in my Buyetian family's affairs. Are you implying that I'm using Forbolto?" Buyetian Huo Le said with a smile. "Don't bother with these, Mr. Kui. You should take care of your own family affairs first. Your Shenglan family meeting is coming up soon, and I'm looking forward to the outcome."
Sheng Lankui was scolded by Buye Tianhuole for a few words, but she still kept smiling.
At this time, Huo Le of Buyetian spoke again.
"By the way, there's a saying: 'When the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked.' If you want to use their language, go back and find some more staff to research it. Don't embarrass the princes and nobles by letting these outsiders mistakenly think you're illiterate."
The smile on Sheng Lankui's face was slightly distorted.
The Nightless Sky Fire Tree said in a cold voice: "Nightless Sky Fire Le, don't go too far!"
"Am I going too far?" Buyetian Huo Le laughed. "Buyetian Huoshu, you don't have the ability to please Mother, so you can only think of poaching her... What a foolish trick! No wonder Mother doesn't like you!"
"Ha, you think you're so likable?" Buyetian Huoshu said anxiously. "You clearly have Shenglan blood flowing in your veins, yet even Brother Kui from the Shenglan family doesn't support you... Even when you took the initiative to support Shenglan Lai, they only agreed to it due to pressure from the alliance between Brother Kui and me."
"You are a guy who is not welcomed wherever you go. How can you be even half as good as me?"
"I promised Forbolto a huge benefit... and he followed you. Did you actually promise him anything?"
As Buyetian Huoshu said this, Buyetian Huole glanced at Lin Yu and then laughed.
"Idiot, I'm not like you who only makes promises and paints cakes..."
"I'm about to give Forboluo a huge gift," Buyetian Huole said, looking at Shenglan Kui. "Mr. Kui, didn't you just say that Forboluo, a commoner, shouldn't meddle in the affairs of the nobility?"
"I'm telling you, he'll soon no longer be a commoner—he'll be marrying into the Buyetian family!"
Huo Le from Buyetian said.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Buyetian Huoshu and Shenglankui changed slightly.
"You want to marry him?! Buyetian Huole, you are so unscrupulous!"
Nevernight Fire Tree said in disbelief.
Hearing the other party's shocked words, Buyetian Huo Le was also shocked.
"what?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
