Although he had been subtly mocked twice by Sleepless Sky Huo Le, Sleepless Sky Huo Shu ultimately wasted no time and left by car.

Perhaps he lacked the boldness and decisiveness of Sleepless 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, gains, and losses was also a fine quality for someone who could become a Family Head.

However, considering that the Sleepless Night Family Head had personally stated she didn't need a "maintenance-oriented leader"...

Lin Yu silently reflected that Sleepless Sky Huo Shu really was destined to be nothing more than a "whetstone."

Afterwards, Sheng Lan Kui also prepared to leave with his severely injured steward, Barry. He wasn't as disheveled as to directly call a VIP car to flee; instead, he properly prepared to leave through the main gate.

Before leaving, he even made a point of walking over to take a look at Lin Yu.

"Furbollo, regarding you saving my steward, I express my sincere gratitude to you."

Lin Yu looked at Sheng Lan Kui somewhat surprised, finding the other party unexpectedly quite sincere.

Adhering to the principle of not hitting a smiling face, he casually replied, "It's fine, just a handy thing..."

Sheng Lan Kui shook his head. "No, regardless, without you, Barry would definitely be dead—I owe you a favor this time. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, I can help."

Then, Sheng Lan Kui paused before adding, "Of course, when it comes to pursuing Sleepless Sky Huo Xing, I will not yield or go easy, because that's a separate matter."

As Sheng Lan Kui spoke seriously, Lin Yu flicked the brim of his hat.

Before he could speak, Sleepless Sky Huo Le chuckled lightly and teased.

"What do you have to yield? Huo Xing might not even remember who you are."

"Oh, also... why aren't you mentioning the duel anymore? Come on, go duel Furbollo!"

Sheng Lan Kui's dead-fish eyes glanced at Sleepless Sky Huo Le. "According to the 'Fair Justice Act,' dueling is illegal... that's what you told me."

Lin Yu also shrugged. "Rest assured, I have no intention of using this favor to make moves regarding Sleepless Sky Huo Xing..."

He didn't even plan to pursue Sleepless Sky Huo Xing.

Sheng Lan Kui nodded. "Good, I knew you were a reasonable person—love is such a sacred, precious, and beautiful thing; it truly shouldn't be tainted by too much worldly complexity!"

"However, apart from making me give up on pursuing Sleepless Sky Huo Xing, you can ask for anything else—as long as it doesn't harm the interests of our Saint-Lan family and doesn't require me to betray the family."

As Sheng Lan Kui spoke, Sleepless Sky Huo Le said calmly.

"Furbollo, do me a favor—make him withdraw from the competition for the next Saint-Lan clan leader."

Hearing Sleepless Sky Huo Le's words, Sheng Lan Kui's expression changed slightly—especially when he saw Lin Yu actually wearing a thoughtful expression, he hurriedly spoke up.

"That's certainly not allowed. That would harm the Saint-Lan family's interests..."

Sleepless Sky Huo Le looked at him, somewhat surprised.

"If you don't become clan leader, the Saint-Lan family's interests will suffer? You have quite the ego... where do you get the confidence that you'd definitely do better than Sheng Lan Lai?"

Lin Yu had no doubt that if this question were asked to either Sleepless Sky Huo Le or Sleepless Sky Huo Shu, the siblings would shamelessly say "Yes" directly.

But unfortunately, Sheng Lan Kui seemed to have some face to save.

He could only flush red and say, "Anyway... that just won't do. That request is too unreasonable."

Sleepless Sky Huo Le let out a disappointed "Oh," then said, "So the final right of interpretation belongs to you. Fine then."

Sheng Lan Kui could no longer endure Sleepless Sky Huo Le's overt and covert attacks. He looked at Lin Yu and hurriedly wrapped things up. "In short... Furbollo, if you have difficulties, just come to the Saint-Lan family. Mentioning my name or Barry's name will work."

"I will compete with you fairly and squarely at the upcoming birthday banquet!"

With that, Sheng Lan Kui quickly turned and left.

Watching Sheng Lan Kui depart, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, this guy's brain is really not normal..."

He didn't know if it was Sheng Lan Kui's own problem or if this was the Saint-Lan family's style.

Compared to the highly modernized Sleepless City built on a corporate system, the Saint-Lan family, as one of the ruling powers, seemed more like feudal-era nobles with real power, placing great importance on prestige, etiquette, and other superficial formalities.

Perhaps that was also why Sheng Lan Kui had somewhat abnormal mate selection criteria and enjoyed taking assassination commissions in the Outer City for excitement.

Sleepless Sky Huo Le also watched Sheng Lan Kui leave, unable to hold back a cold sneer.

"A bunch of posers, and he's the biggest poser of them all."

"Owing a favor... hypocrite. If you, Furbollo, run into trouble in Sleepless City, would you go to him instead of me?"

Looking at Sleepless Sky Huo Le's stern face, Lin Yu also sighed.

Of course, the Saint-Lan family wasn't normal, but the Sleepless Sky family wasn't much better in terms of abnormality.

"That girl's sudden spike in aggressiveness just now seems like possessiveness towards you flaring up. Such a prominent family background, yet so lacking in security... must be a lack of parental companionship and care."

Old Zheng offered a sharp critique, voicing what Lin Yu was thinking.

However, Lin Yu wasn't too keen on hearing Old Zheng's next words.

"I think this girl is gradually seeking the missing paternal love in you, developing a different kind of dependency... tsk tsk tsk, Director, your sins are heavy."

Lin Yu felt helpless inwardly.

"What does that have to do with me? It was all Fu Luo's doing... I've only been with her for such a short while."

Old Zheng said nothing, just smiled mysteriously. "Heh!"

Sleepless Sky Huo Le looked at the silent Lin Yu, seemingly misunderstanding something, and spoke again in a steady tone.

"Of course, I'm not saying you can't use this favor. It would indeed be a pity to waste it..."

"How about this, I'll tell you about the areas the Saint-Lan family excels in and what precious things they have. Then you can go to him and get some benefits, okay?"

"You 'Otherworldly Visitors' really like collecting those precious things, don't you?"

As Sleepless Sky Huo Le spoke, though no emotional fluctuations were visible and her face remained as calm as an ancient well...

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel she seemed somewhat anxious and restless.

Looking at this Young Mistress, who was born at the pinnacle of Sleepless City yet now seemed unusually worried that he might be dissatisfied with her, Lin Yu gently shook his head.

"It's fine, I've already thought of how to use this favor..."

"There are some things I happen to want to ask him about—some information only Sheng Lan Kui would know."

As Lin Yu said this, Sleepless Sky Huo Le gave a slight nod.

"Ask about some things? That's fine too..."

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

"Hurry up and go buy me clothes!"

Hearing Lin Yu say this, the corner of Sleepless Sky Huo Le's mouth lifted slightly.

"What do I have to owe you for?"

"You should naturally stand by my side!"

She said, then paused. "Of course... next time, you're still not allowed to take such risks."
