Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 967 - 927: Departure for the Capital City

Lin Yi was quite startled by this action.

His impulse was to shove her away, but a glimpse of the girl's blissful expression made him hesitate. Considering how she had been weeping moments before, like a flower battered by rain, his heart simply softened.

In his mind, she was practically like his own little sister. Being embraced and kissed by one's sister, he reasoned, shouldn't be too much of a concern.

Just then, Leng Yu tilted her pretty face upwards, her eyes brimming with hope as she asked Lin Yi,

"Then Brother Lin, can you come see me every day?"

The way she spoke, the words she chose, sent a shiver down Lin Yi's spine. This girl was becoming increasingly potent. Where had she learned such tactics? Her current methods were far more sophisticated than before, suggesting someone had been coaching her.

When Lin Yi remained silent for a prolonged period, Leng Yu stirred slightly in his arms, feigning a spoiled attitude as she added,

"Please, Brother Lin. It's just that the food here worries me; I'm not accustomed to it. I've grown used to the delicious meals you prepare. If I have to eat other things, I fear I won't be able to stomach them."

Lin Yi was utterly defeated. How could anyone resist this girl?

"Alright, alright, alright. I promise, I'll see you every day, okay?"

After saying this, he gently patted Leng Yu's head, signaling for her to get down. Having secured her desired answer, Leng Yu happily hopped off.

With her mood significantly improved, Leng Yu began to pack her belongings with renewed vigor.

The following morning, everyone had gathered to bid Leng Yu farewell.

The somber atmosphere inevitably affected Leng Yu. The flicker of excitement she had felt moments before quickly faded, replaced by a sense of melancholy.

Looking at the familiar faces around her—the people who had watched her grow—she suddenly felt a pang of reluctance to leave.

Despite their own sadness at their young lady's departure, these individuals managed to put on brave faces. After all, she wasn't leaving to face hardship; she was embarking on a promotion, taking up a significant post—a position of authority they could only dream of, one far beyond even their master's reach. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly dampen her spirits?

Thus, everyone strove to appear cheerful. Yet, Leng Yu keenly understood the true emotions hidden behind their forced smiles.

It was at this crucial moment that Lin Yi intervened, his voice cutting through the tension.

"It's not a major departure. You're merely heading to the Capital City; it's not an insurmountable distance. You can return whenever you wish. How about this: I'll escort you there, and tonight, we'll host a grand barbecue right here. We'll have a celebratory feast upon your return this evening."

His words stunned everyone present.

The Capital City? Leave now and return by tonight? The Immortal Young Master's pronouncement seemed impossible.

For a moment, disbelief clouded their faces as they stared at Lin Yi.

However, recalling the Immortal Young Master's extraordinary status, their apprehension quickly subsided.

Moreover, the sadness that had gripped their hearts vanished instantly.

If the Immortal Young Master's words proved true, and they could see their young lady again before the night was over, there was no reason for lingering sorrow.

The possibility of her leaving in the morning and returning by evening felt too incredible to even contemplate.

If such a feat were achievable, if she could commute daily between the Capital and home, what practical difference would her new position truly make?

This thought brought a wave of elation, and Lao Liu, taking the lead, promptly instructed everyone to begin preparations for the evening's banquet.

These words originated from Lin Yi, and regardless of how fantastical they sounded, they placed their absolute faith in his capabilities. The Immortal Young Master's power was undeniable.

Leng Yu, too, was radiant with newfound joy.

With a mere wave of Lin Yi's arm, the familiar massive black object, the flying contraption they had witnessed before, materialized once more in the open space.

Seeing the flying machine again, the initial shock had faded, replaced by a shared curiosity. They were eager to understand the secret behind its ability to soar.

A delighted smile spread across Leng Yu's face at this sight.

After bidding farewell to everyone, she picked up her bundle, ready to board the aircraft.

However, Lin Yi called out, halting her. He took her luggage from her hands and passed it back to the maid who had been trailing behind.

"Alright, put this away for now. The young lady will be back tonight. No need to take it along."

Hearing this, the little maid immediately bowed in agreement and hurried to take it. Leng Yu suddenly had a moment of clarity.

That’s right, Brother Lin had mentioned she’d be back here tonight, so wasn’t it a bit unnecessary to bring her luggage?

But then she recalled how last night Lin Yi hadn’t told her she didn’t need to pack, and had merely watched her with bright eyes while she finished packing. This thought made her pout instantly.

And in that very moment, she completely understood Lin Yi’s intentions.

She grasped why Lin Yi hadn’t stopped her from packing the previous night. This rascal brother must have been aiming to make her vacate his room as soon as possible, wanting to stop her from sleeping with him any longer.

Only with that kind of objective would he have observed her packing her belongings without uttering a single word.

Hmph. But you are utterly mistaken this time. Since this young lady has set her mind on something, she absolutely will not waver. So what if I’ve packed my luggage? I can still share a room with you, can’t I?

Hee hee, tonight I shall reveal to you what I am truly capable of.

With this thought, the corners of Leng Yu’s lips couldn't help but curl upwards slightly, revealing a mischievous grin.

That smile bore a striking resemblance to the one Lin Yi frequently displayed. It must be said, one truly adopts the characteristics of those they associate closely with.

After spending so much time alongside Lin Yi, she hadn’t acquired much else, but she had certainly mastered the charmingly rogue smirk.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Lin Yi directly took Leng Yu and soared towards the Capital City.

While on the plane, with her headset adorning her ears, Leng Yu turned her head to gaze upon Lin Yi’s handsome countenance.
