Chapter 873 Lin Yu's Decision
Lin Yu is actually the kind of person who rarely feels shocked.
Even when something was outrageous, he could accept it calmly - but Lin Yu had to admit that Lao Zheng was sometimes really beyond his expectations.
How could someone be in a romantic relationship with a native of the Ten Realms?
These people are not from the same world - long-distance relationships are already difficult, let alone long-distance relationships!
"I have to make it clear, Boss, she and I are not in a romantic relationship," Lao Zheng defended himself. "We just... uh, she has a one-sided crush on me?"
Although Lin Yu wanted to criticize Lao Zheng for not being "confident", at this moment Lin Yu suddenly realized...
Maybe Lao Zheng is telling the truth.
"You really can surprise me, Lao Zheng," Lin Yu slowly held his forehead, "Even if you are not in a 'couple' relationship, your ability to make the other person feel attached to you is quite impressive."
"Actually, this kind of thing isn't that rare," Lao Zheng said, his eyes wandering. "Boss, do you still remember the note on that water-controlling necklace?"
Of course Lin Yu could recall it.
[The great shaman "Su Tu" crafted a necklace out of black crystal stone and gave it to his lover.]
"Could this 'lover' be some 'player'?!"
Lin Yu said in shock.
Lao Zheng nodded. "As far as I know, that should be the case—so, you see, some people are actually dating, so my experience isn't that big of a deal, boss."
Lin Yu thought about the origin of his necklace, and his face became even more shocked.
"Wait, could it be Li Hua..."
"No, this should be the gambler's spoils. He got it after winning a bet."
Lao Zheng said.
Lin Yu let out a breath, feeling that his worldview had not collapsed so completely.
But... this thing was actually won by Li Hua from someone else, which made Lin Yu feel a little emotional.
"This is really inhuman..."
If the guy who received the gift from Su Tu took the initiative to take out the necklace as a "bet", it means that the guy is a beast who betrayed others' sincerity.
If Li Hua forced the other party to take out this thing as a bet or designed to win it and then gave it to himself... then Li Hua is indeed a little lacking in "humanity".
At least they lack empathy.
Old Zheng then continued, "Anyway, some people can become brothers and friends with the native residents of the Ten Realms, and can even make enemies and become their disciples... so it's not surprising that some romantic feelings might arise, right?"
"Boss, when you were active in the Never-Sleeping City, didn't you also have some disputes with the sisters of the Never-Sleeping Family? If things continue to develop..."
Old Zheng suddenly realized that continuing this topic wasn't quite right, so he paused and continued, "...if things continue like this, there's definitely nothing wrong. But if your detective friend, Forboluo, logs in again, things might start to go awry."
"He has a very strange relationship with the Patriarch of the Buyetian Family, right?"
As Lao Zheng spoke, the corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched.
"I'm not that petty," Lin Yu said, then sighed, "But, Old Zheng... I'm very curious about how you and the Sixth Island Master got to this point."
"She has some mental and psychological issues caused by trauma. As you can see, there's no doctor in this place, let alone a psychologist. At the time, in order to win over the island owners, I naturally approached them one by one in private, trying to please them and win their hearts. And... I had a professional background in her area, so I accidentally went a little too far," Old Zheng's eyes drifted. "In short, by the time I realized something was wrong, it was already over."
"Are you sure you're not deliberately letting him go because you want to take advantage of his feelings for you?"
Lin Yu asked pointedly.
Lao Zheng was a little annoyed. "Boss, I'm not the kind of scum who plays with people's hearts. Although I know you have serious doubts about my character and moral values because I founded the 'Psychology Society', I also have my bottom line - I will not exploit such innocent feelings to scheme."
Listening to Lao Zheng's words, which didn't seem false, Lin Yu sighed: "Well, if that's the case... then I should go see her."
"It's not just for 'legacy', it's also to untie the knot in your heart."
Old Zheng protested vehemently, "Boss, I don't have any grudges—it's fine this way. She thinks I'm like that anyway, right?"
Lin Yu said calmly: "But she is resentful towards you now, isn't she? If there is nothing wrong with her and you, then it means there is a misunderstanding between her and you."
"I'll help you clear up the misunderstanding. You're welcome, Lao Zheng."
Lao Zheng objected even more strongly: "No, no, no, no, that's absolutely not necessary, Boss. I appreciate your kindness, but..."
Lao Zheng's protest this time was not just focused on words. He also released his mental power to interfere with and distort Lin Yu's cognition, making it difficult for Lin Yu to see the road clearly, thus trying to stop Lin Yu from rushing on the road.
“…But no thanks, really!”
Lin Yu ignored Lao Zheng's words and then isolated himself from Lao Zheng's interference.
Although Lin Yu's mental strength is much weaker than Lao Zheng's, there is a very simple way for Lin Yu to isolate Lao Zheng's influence.
That is to take Lao Zheng back to the [Prop Space].
Hearing the sudden cessation of Old Zheng's voice and the disappearance of his mental interference, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh, refreshing."
Lin Yu sighed, and then headed towards "Casetti".
Although Lao Zheng had told most of the truth, Lin Yu also understood why he concealed it in the beginning.
After all, it is a bit embarrassing to almost talk about such a thing with a native, so it is normal to hide it.
But for Lin Yu...
He still felt that he couldn't just believe Lao Zheng's one-sided statement.
Since the relationship between him and the owner of the sixth island was once so close, it would be strange if Lin Yu didn't try to get some information from him.
And... Lin Yu also felt that although Lao Zheng was a psychologist or psychiatrist, it was difficult for a doctor to treat himself - he himself seemed to have some avoidant personality and was a little afraid to mention and face intimate relationships.
Therefore, he may have exaggerated the consequences of his meeting with the owner of the Sixth Island.
Lin Yu felt that it would not be a big deal if he met him and used Lao Zheng's name to get some information out of him to expand his advantage in this [copy].
Of course, he certainly wouldn't brag about being the successor of Lao Zheng.
Just saying "know" or "be familiar" should be fine!
