Chapter 502: Mother-Daughter Dialogue, Alone Time
Although the appearance of the Buyetian family head was a little beyond Lin Yu's expectations, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
After all, in the bizarre [copy], any form of NPC is possible.
Especially for those who are closer to God and have higher status, it is normal for their appearance to be a little different from that of ordinary people.
There is an octopus chef and a talking flashing brain lying in his [Prop Space].
The head of the Buye Tian family currently only seems to have an appearance that does not match his actual age.
Lin Yu’s only feeling now is that it’s really unbelievable that Fu Luo had the heart to do this.
After adjusting his mindset, Lin Yu began to observe the conversation between the mother and daughter.
Huo Le of Buyetian did not show any disrespect or contempt for his mother because of her appearance. Instead, he answered his mother's questions very carefully.
"Mother, I'm here today for my sister's coming-of-age ceremony in two days..."
When the head of Buyetian family heard Buyetian Huo Le's words, he put the book in his hand upside down on his knees.
She held her chin with one hand and tilted her head as she said, "Huo Xing's birthday party... has already been reported. I will attend."
"My dearest daughter, when did you become so concerned about your sisters?"
"It's not a good habit to develop feelings for your family."
The tone of the Buyetian family head was very relaxed, as if he was just saying it casually.
But Lin Yu saw that Buyetian Huo Le was obviously nervous.
She quickly bowed her head and folded her hands in front of her.
"Mother, I have absolutely no such intention. It's just that Father has invited many celebrities and nobles for Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony. The board members of the Divine Power Group and the Universal General Chamber of Commerce have confirmed their attendance. In addition, the patriarchs of the three ducal families will come in person..."
"The Mercury and Saint Lan families have responded with gifts. Emissaries should arrive that day. However, Alte Mercury of the Mercury family, as a temporary director of Truth Company, should also be in attendance."
"The Sorens family sent a congratulatory letter and a clear reply. They should have several younger generations coming with gifts."
"The Qiu family only sent a congratulatory letter, and we don't know who will come yet."
Huo Le of Buyetian spoke in an orderly manner.
Rather than discussing his sister's birthday party with his mother, it was more like a department leader reporting on celebration activities to the top boss at the company's annual meeting.
Huo Le of Buyetian continued.
"In short, this coming-of-age ceremony has invited many celebrities and nobles, and the venue has been chosen to be the 'Camellia Hall' within the manor. This is a matter of great importance. I earnestly request that Mother allow me to utilize the family guards and some of the Truth Company's security forces to ensure the smooth conduct of the coming-of-age ceremony."
Upon hearing this, the Buyetian Patriarch pondered silently before speaking, "Yes."
Afterwards, the Patriarch of Buyetian continued, "Do you know something?"
Huo Le bowed again, "Yes, mother. Mr. Forboluo just told me that the outer city has recently received many assassination commissions targeting nobles, even princes. This is why I decided to come to you for instructions."
The Buyetian patriarch spoke lazily, "It makes sense... Old Shenglan should be nearing death. Plus, the current young master of the Qiu family is incredibly interesting, and there's a chance they'll be at odds with the Shuiyin family again. Right now, it's time to resort to something as despicable as assassination."
Huo Le hurriedly spoke again, "Mother is very perceptive. I'm worried that holding such a grand coming-of-age ceremony and birthday party will become a stage for someone with ulterior motives to cause chaos... But the invitations have already been sent. For the sake of our family's reputation, we must carefully consider and ensure that everything proceeds smoothly."
The Buyetian Patriarch nodded again: "I understand. Just follow my instructions and do it. Make sure you do it well."
She waved lightly, and a book on the bookshelf fell from a high place and landed right in the arms of Huo Le.
The cover of this book is pure white and has no logo, but Buyetian Huo Le looked up in surprise.
"Mother... this is..."
"The Heavenly Book is my keepsake, and it's also the keepsake of the Buyetian Patriarch," the Buyetian Patriarch said calmly, "Take it and do it."
Huo Le of the Nightless Sky was stunned: "Mother, this matter is indeed important, but it doesn't require the use of the 'Heavenly Book'!"
The Buyetian Patriarch shook his head: "Rather than asking for the Heavenly Book for this matter... it's better to say that I'm taking this opportunity to let you take charge of the Heavenly Book."
"Huo Le, you are my most favored offspring. Huo Xian was born in my early years and was neglected, leading to his spoiled behavior. That's why I assigned him to the Universal Chamber of Commerce, away from the family. Huo Ming, on the other hand, is naturally violent. Such people are easily broken and more likely to hurt others, so he can only go to the Great Wilderness to serve as a sharp sword for the family."
"Not to mention Huo Xing, she has a weird and absurd personality... She's always been my biggest headache. If this coming-of-age ceremony can find her a good home, I'll have less to worry about."
"Although Huoshu is somewhat interesting, I know you're most worried about him... I admit that I deliberately allowed him to fight you, but I still feel that he's only fit to be your whetstone."
The head of the Buyetian family said lightly, Buyetian Huo Le held the Heavenly Book in his hand without saying a word, and listened quietly to his mother's lecture.
"The situation in the City That Never Sleeps is turbulent right now. I hope you can take this opportunity to establish yourself firmly... My daughter, don't let me down."
Only then did Huo Le reluctantly agree: "Mother, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Having said this, Huo Le of the Nightless Sky bowed again and said, "There's one more thing, Mother. Forboluo also wants to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, and he wants to enter as a distinguished guest with an invitation..."
The head of the Buyetian family, who seemed to have been deliberately ignoring "Folpolo" in front of his daughter, finally looked at Lin Yu.
His eyes fell on him and the head of the Buyetian family chuckled.
"Ah, such a formal appearance... Could it be that you have prepared some lavish gift for my youngest daughter?"
Without waiting for Lin Yu to reply, the Patriarch of Buyetian clasped his hands together in front of his chest and said, "Alright, you take the Heavenly Book to the steward and give him the same courtesy as other young masters of the royal family."
Huo Le of Buyetian quickly responded: "Understood, Mother."
"Okay, you can leave now. I want to be alone with Forboluo for a while."
As the head of the Buye Tian family spoke, Buye Tian Huo Le glanced at Lin Yu, his eyes full of hope.
"come on."
Huo Le from Buyetian spoke to Lin Yu through his mouth.
It seemed that obtaining the Heavenly Book was something very worth celebrating for her.
Huo Le of Buyetian then retreated.
In the huge library, only Lin Yu and the head of the Buye Tian family were left.
Her eyes fell on Lin Yu and she spoke with a chuckle.
"Ah Luo, my daughter is still as interesting as ever, right?"
