“Lin Yu, don’t look at me like that.”
“If I wanted to harm Shen Buyao, why would I have told you?”
“On the contrary, she hasn’t fully secured her position as the head of the Shen family yet.”
“I can help her secure it!”
“Not by doing something behind her back. I mean helping her openly and aboveboard.”
Hearing this, Lin Yu’s expression softened slightly.
There was no reason for Huang Feiya to lie to him.
Since she dared to say it, she probably really meant it.
Not helping her in secret…
But openly helping Yao Yao secure her position as the head of the family…
Wouldn’t that be tantamount to falling out with that woman from the Shen family and making her stance clear?
At the very least, Huang Feiya couldn’t be considered Shen Buyao’s enemy.
“I don’t want to get involved in matters between people of your standing.”
“Uncle Huang, please, have a seat.”
Lin Yu hurriedly moved a chair over for Huang Daoqi.
Lin Yu was fairly good at keeping his composure.
Even after sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he hadn’t acted out of line or made a fool of himself.
If he had started making sarcastic remarks right away, the awkwardness in the room would have become unbearable.
“It’s all right, it’s all right. No need to be so polite. We’re all… family here!”
Huang Daoqi deliberately emphasized that they were “family.”
Before his daughter had stated her position, he had only dared to say that everything would be up to her.
Only after Huang Feiya finished speaking did the father finally let out a sigh of relief.
Judging from the way the father and daughter behaved, they seemed almost like strangers.
How was it that Huang Daoqi didn’t even know what his own daughter was thinking beforehand?
“Uncle Huang, you two can handle these matters yourselves.”
“You already know Yao Yao. Why not just contact her directly?”
“I’m only a college student…”
“My studies should still come first!”
A smile returned to Lin Yu’s face.
At least from what he had heard so far, neither of them seemed to harbor any ill will toward Antique Sister.
If they were planning to join forces, Lin Yu could rest easy.
Antique Sister’s character was beyond question.
As for Huang Feiya…
She had far too many schemes up her sleeve, so there was even less reason to worry about her.
If the two of them could truly work together on something, they might even produce some unexpected chemistry.
Of course, that was assuming both sides genuinely wanted to cooperate.
Based on Lin Yu’s understanding of Antique Sister, she absolutely hated the Huang family’s eldest daughter deep down.
Perhaps that was precisely why Huang Feiya and her father, Huang Daoqi, had thought to discuss the matter with Lin Yu.
If Lin Yu was willing to help, things would become much easier.
If Huang Feiya handled it herself, the project might fall apart before they had even exchanged more than a few words!
By then, Lin Yu had already begun making plans in his mind.
If Huang Feiya tried to persuade him again, what should he say?
However…
A woman’s thoughts were truly impossible to predict.
Huang Feiya didn’t press the matter at all. She merely nodded calmly and said,
“Dad, did you hear that?”
“Are you finally ready to give up?”
“I told you from the beginning it would turn out this way. Think of something else.”
“Take care. I won’t see you out.”
Huang Feiya didn’t look like she was putting on an act in the slightest.
As she spoke, her irritation became increasingly obvious.
If this was a performance, then her acting was simply too good.
Lin Yu couldn’t detect even the slightest crack in it.
But if she was telling the truth…
Then what she had just said hadn’t been her own idea at all. It had been her father’s request?
Lin Yu: “…”
Even so…
This young lady was being a little too harsh with her own father, wasn’t she?
She hadn’t left him even the slightest bit of dignity!
She looked as though she might personally sweep him out of the room at any moment.
By contrast, aside from an awkward smile, Huang Daoqi showed no other emotion.
It seemed he had long since grown accustomed to his daughter’s attitude.
There really wasn’t a normal person in this family!
“Heh heh, Mr. Lin, could you let me say a couple more things?”

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
