Although the concluding phase had sparked so debate that was hard to say whether it counted as a flaw, leaving Lin Yu—a guy who aid to be a "professional Actor" and was overly obsessive about matters related to "performance"—a bit hung up and conflicted...
But from the perspective of the overall situation, this was indeed a trivial, insignificant detail that only Lin Yu would dwell on.
After all, most people didn't even hear Lin Yu's lines.
The mont Lin Yu struck his pose and delivered his lines didn't give the opponent any chance to turn the tables.
Water overcos fire—this is almost the most classic elental counter relationship. So classic that across different cultural attributes and works from various regions, similar settings would coincidentally appear.
Because that's just how things are.
A sudden downpour completely doused the raging fire that Zhu Rong had ticulously prepared as his final trump card, also extinguishing the fla of his hope.
Simultaneously, the torrential rain washed away the piled rice stalks and straw on the ground, also breaking the opponent's spirit.
The drenched Player slumped to the ground, retrieved the Fertile Soil and his other items, and sat there dejectedly.
Lin Yu stepped forward, wiped the water from his face, and looked down at him.
"Aren't you going to run?"
Zhu Rong sighed. "I said, if you could withstand this move, I would surrender without a fight."
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You ant that seriously?"
"Of course you should an what you say. If you don't keep your promises, what's the point of making them?"
Zhu Rong said matter-of-factly.
Outside the door, the backup bodyguards finally arrived, wading through the water. They cautiously approached through the flooded area and apprehended Zhu Rong.
As the bodyguards hauled him up, Zhu Rong looked back at Lin Yu.
"Furbollo, you're impressive—I admit defeat!"
"However, one day, I will win this back."
Zhu Rong said earnestly. Lin Yu curled his lip.
"You'd better figure out how to stay alive first."
"No matter. I have my own contingencies—but I'm very curious, how did you recognize ?"
Zhu Rong asked curiously.
Lin Yu shrugged. "There are only so many powerful Farrs among the Players, and those active in Sleepless City are even fewer on one hand... Coincidentally, I'm considered quite well-inford both among Players and within Sleepless City."
This statent was based on Fu Luo's identity.
Hearing this, Zhu Rong nodded slightly, showing he was convinced.
"So that's it!"
Of course, for Lin Yu, he had only recently heard the na 'Zhu Rong' in Sleepless City.
Although that person was clearly not the sa Player before him, it still served as a hint for Lin Yu.
Whether the other party was impersonating the na or was an admirer of 'Zhu Rong'... it at least indicated that this na had once existed in Sleepless City.
And from previous intelligence in Haicheng, 'Zhu Rong' was a very strong Farr.
With so many coincidences piled up, and his ultimate move being fire-related, it was hard for Lin Yu not to guess that the other's identity was indeed 'Zhu Rong'.
Of course...
Even if he guessed wrong, Lin Yu wouldn't have cared anyway.
After all, it would be Fu Luo's face that was lost.
Watching Zhu Rong being escorted and dragged away, the soaked Lin Yu called Hannah back.
Old Steward Barry also revealed himself.
Since Hannah had remained hidden the entire ti, and Barry had been on the verge of passing out from blood loss earlier, he obviously didn't know how Lin Yu had hidden and treated him.
But he could still deduce that Lin Yu had saved him, so he stood up and expressed his gratitude to Lin Yu.
"Thank you, Furbollo."
Looking at the pale-faced old man, Lin Yu was partly amazed at how robust the other's physique was—to still be standing at a ti like this—and partly quickly waved his hand.
"Go get your wounds treated. I went through a lot of trouble to save you, don't die in front of ."
Barry said, then walked towards the dical team among the reinforcents to receive bandaging and dication.
As soon as Barry left, just as Lin Yu was about to find another dical team, he heard a commotion behind him.
"Young Mistress, the situation isn't clear yet..."
"Step aside! Don't tell what to do!"
Accompanied by a firm voice, Lin Yu saw Sleepless Sky Huole bypass the obstruction of several bodyguards and stride quickly toward him.
Looking at Lin Yu covered in blood, she spoke in a low voice, "You bastard, why did you push yourself so hard?"
"You said it yourself, it's best if this guy doesn't die."
Lin Yu shrugged and said.
Sleepless Sky Huole clenched her fists, gritting her teeth as she said, "I also said your priority is to ensure your own safety—why do you only listen to the parts you want to hear!"
Lin Yu spread his hands. "I am safe."
"Shut up."
Sleepless Sky Huole said, taking out from her bosom an inhaler containing a pale-red liquid in a transparent tube. She unwrapped it and stuffed it into Lin Yu's mouth.
"Take your dicine!"
After saying that, Sleepless Sky Huole pressed the button on the inhaler. The dicinal liquid instantly atomized and sprayed into Lin Yu's mouth.
In a very short ti, Lin Yu successively felt joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, and tranquility flash rapidly through his heart. Then, Lin Yu was astonished to discover...
The injuries on his body had actually healed completely in an instant!
Not only that, but even his expended stamina and energy were replenished in a single breath.
Even the hypothermia from being drenched was alleviated.
Right now, Lin Yu felt like a high school student who had slept soundly for a whole day after the college entrance exams, then ate a delicious homade al, took a hot bath, and was now sitting in front of brand-new peripherals—his entire body was relaxed, comfortable, and brimming with energy.
Lin Yu, astonished, took down the now-empty inhaler and looked at Sleepless Sky Huole.
"Actually, it wasn't necessary. I really wasn't badly injured."
Sleepless Sky Huole said coldly, "I'm not blind. The scene just now was so brutal, and there's so much blood on your clothes..."
"Even if you really have so recovery thod, at least... this can ensure you won't scar."
Hearing Sleepless Sky Huole's words, Lin Yu asked, "It's very precious, isn't it?"
"Not expensive at all," Sleepless Sky Huole waved her hand dismissively. "I usually carry several of these on ... they're just consumables."
"dicine is made to be used."
After saying that, Sleepless Sky Huole turned around and called for the servants.
"His clothes are soaked and reek of blood... first get him a spare set to wear for now and find a towel to dry off. We'll go downstairs to pick out your formal wear."
As Sleepless Sky Huole spoke, the power gradually ca back on.
The leader among the bodyguards stepped forward again, looking sowhat conflicted as he said, "But, respected Sleepless Sky Huole, this place may not be safe yet..."
"You all saw Furbollo's skills just now," Sleepless Sky Huole said calmly. "By his side, I am the safest."
"Besides, if I were to hastily change my schedule because of a farce of this level... what kind of future Heir of the Sleepless Night Family would I be!"
As she spoke, she glanced over at Sleepless Sky Huo Shu, who was hurriedly taking out the VIP-exclusive Train Ticket, preparing for an ergency evacuation.
