Lu Zhixing put down the leaf and looked coldly at Luo Chengan.
Luo Chengan: “????”
【I’m dying laughing. I used to think Luo Chengan was such a poser. Now I’m looking at him and realizing he’s actually pretty good at posing himself.】
【Luo Chengan has this vibe like, if he just tries a little harder, he could actually get together with him.】
【Luo Chengan: Am I handsome? My brain must have been replaced.】
【I don’t know what you people are liking about him. Isn’t it obvious that he deliberately made our Shushu look bad! Luo Chengan is disgusting. I hope all of you get bullied!】
【Go eat shit, your mouth is so nasty. Luo Chengan doesn’t even know Luo Shujing peed his pants from fear. Fans really do follow their idol—both of you stink to high heaven.】
【There’s something really strange. Xi Yu calculated that the thing was on the left, but Luo Shujing kept questioning him. He said Luo Shujing never believed him. Could it be that situations like today have happened many times before?】
【Exactly! Xi Yu asked whether Luo Shujing was prejudiced against him, and Luo Shujing’s answer was so strange. From beginning to end, he seemed especially afraid of Xi Yu, but Xi Yu didn’t argue or explain anything. He just kept handing out talismans.】
【Yeah, looking at Luo Shujing now, he’s being such a green tea. If Xi Yu really were like the way Luo Shujing made him out to be, then he shouldn’t have given him a talisman. Xi Yu had already calculated that there was danger. If he really wanted to hurt Luo Shujing, he could have simply pretended he knew nothing.】
【The way you put it makes me feel like Xi Yu has this… divine quality. A god who carries great love in his heart, doesn’t care about all the doubts, and silently saves the common people!】
【I’m dying at Yu Meiren! She called Xi Yu Yubao. Did you see Xi Yu’s reaction? （Little cat pointing at itself in disbelief: Me? JPG）】
【I’m a hardcore Luo Chengan fan… I! Want! To! Say! Luo Shujing really is a green tea! Every time he comes out to defend An’an, he has exactly this attitude! On the surface, he’s explaining things, but in reality, he’s confirming that the thing happened! But nobody believes me! Waaaaah…】
【What about Movie Emperor Lu? Doesn’t anyone think he’s a green tea too? He wasn’t afraid when he encountered the wolves, but the moment he saw Xi Yu, he became scared. （doge）】
【Hahahahahaha, this is really easy to see through.】
【Xi Yu can’t tell, right? That’s really bad.】
【Movie Emperor Lu coldly looks at Luo Chengan: You’re making me lose my appetite!】
【Did nobody notice that Movie Emperor Lu wasn’t worried at all? When the wolves appeared, he seemed completely unconcerned and immediately put the talisman on. Even Luo Chengan never imagined the talisman would be so effective, but he clearly knew all along.】
【Where are the Xing fans?! Time for your “good friend” speeches!】
The Xing fans remained silent and simply kept boosting Xi Yu’s fan forum statistics.
There was nothing left to argue about.
Just based on the fact that Xi Yu’s talisman had saved their idol, they would never drag Xi Yu down.
And besides…
The Xing fans took screenshots while frantically doing their fan-support tasks, all the while licking the screen.
Oh my god, why does Xi Yu look so beautiful in every single frame?
The Xing fans were overwhelmingly busy, while the Jing fans had nothing to do.
Luo Shujing had lost a lot of followers today. There were simply too many spontaneous supporters of Luo Chengan, and they couldn’t beat them on the public trending feed.
All they could do was viciously curse Luo Chengan and Xi Yu. They firmly believed that Luo Shujing was pure and wonderful, and that the bad guys would eventually reveal their true colors!
The Jing fans felt sorry for their idol, but the idol himself was sitting inside the tent, listening to the cheerful laughter outside, his eyes and brows dark and vicious.
……………….
Luo Shujing changed into another pair of pants and threw the dirty pair into the farthest corner.
He had never been this humiliated in his entire life.
Fortunately, the drone’s image quality was blurry and it had been far away. Otherwise, he would have been finished.
The information he had bought was actually fake!
Not only had it failed to bring Xi Yu down, it had instead caused him to lose such a huge amount of face in front of Lu Zhixing.
Xi Yu was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
He was certain now.
The Life-Exchange Lock had definitely been broken by Xi Yu.
Xi Yu’s things could actually calculate things out, and could even block those wild beasts!
However, he was still no match for Master Qingfeng.
Although Xi Yu could undo the Life-Exchange Lock, Master Qingfeng had said that the Luo family’s Soul-Locking Needles and the ferocious beast were still there.
Luo Shujing wasn’t sure whether Xi Yu had failed to notice them or simply couldn’t deal with them.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Originally, he had only wanted to kill Luo Chengan as quickly as possible and seize his fortune.
As for Xi Yu…
He hadn’t wanted to kill him this soon. If the two of them died at the same time, it would be easier to arouse suspicion.
But after what happened today, that was no longer possible.
Xi Yu could break the Life-Exchange Lock, so he definitely knew that breaking it would cause backlash.
Perhaps Xi Yu had known from the very beginning that Luo Chengan’s Life-Exchange Lock had been given to him by Luo Shujing.
Not only Xi Yu—the entire Luo family probably knew as well.
And there was Luo Yuan’s attitude after the Jiang family banquet.
At the time, he had found it strange. Why had that idiot Luo Yuan insisted on kicking his father out of the company?
Now that he thought about it, there had already been signs.
So they knew…
If they hadn’t exposed him directly, what were they waiting for?
Were they planning to find a good opportunity and then completely crush his entire family?
Luo Shujing tightly clenched the packet of powder in his hand, his expression growing colder and colder.
But regardless of the reason, he could no longer wait.
Compared with Luo Chengan, Xi Yu deserved to die even more.
Xi Yu and Luo Chengan could go to hell together.
No one was going to stand in his way!
Sitting beside the fire, Xi Yu could sense the vicious aura coming from Luo Shujing, so strong that even the tent could not block it.
The corners of his lips slowly curled upward.
The dog was finally cornered and about to jump over the wall.
Although Xi Yu could not see the comments from the netizens, he could sense that the golden light surrounding Luo Chengan was growing increasingly intense.
This was the result of receiving offerings from many people.
After two days of watching the variety show, quite a lot of people must have grown fond of Luo Chengan.
Lu Zhixing’s fingertips intentionally or unintentionally brushed against Xi Yu’s hand. He was still wondering whether Xi Yu had really said “Mm” just now.
Xi Yu was getting itchy from the brushing and smacked Lu Zhixing’s annoying hand away.
“Get some rest early.”
Today, the production team had prepared small tents, so there was no issue of assigning sleeping arrangements.
The downside was that there was nowhere to wash up. Although they were near a stream, the water inside might not be clean.
Fortunately, they had a pot. Luo Chengan washed it clean and boiled a pot of water, and everyone made do with washing themselves.
After Xi Yu finished washing up, he still cast a Dust-Cleansing Spell inside the tent.
The five tents were tightly connected together. Yu Qian’s and Lu Zhixing’s tents were on either side of his.
When Yu Qian asked, Luo Chengan painfully gave the spot closest to Xi Yu to Yu Qian.
Don’t ask why he didn’t fight for the other side.
His brother had directly crawled into the tent next to Lu Zhixing.
Luo Shujing’s tent was at the very edge. He had not come out once since entering it.
The sky gradually darkened, and the temperature dropped extremely low.
Everyone had already fallen asleep when Xi Yu finally opened his tent.
The drone, having detected no human movement, had remained fixed in one place. When it saw Xi Yu come out, it buzzed and followed him, its red light blinking on and off.
Xi Yu raised his hand.
His thin jacket covered the drone, blocking the red light.
【Drone: What’s covering my eyes?!】
【Hidden camera: Didn’t expect there to be me too!】
【What is Xi Yu doing coming out in the middle of the night? Also, did Luo Shujing not shower? He peed his pants and didn’t come out to wash them? Doesn’t that smell?】
【Eh? Movie Emperor Lu came out too.】
【Why does this feel like a little couple sneaking out for a secret date?】
【The person above gets it.】
Xi Yu covered the drone. When he heard footsteps, he turned his head and glanced back. Seeing that it was Lu Zhixing, he said nothing.
He closed his eyes and pressed two fingers together, silently reciting an incantation.
Immediately afterward, a strand of spiritual light shot from his fingertips.
Lu Zhixing looked at the blocked drone, then at Xi Yu, his expression somewhat complicated.
He almost couldn’t bear to tell Xi Yu: Stop covering it. The moment you stepped out of the tent, they were already filming you from 360 degrees with absolutely no blind spots.
【Oh my god!!! It’s starting! This man is starting!!!】
【What kind of hand gesture is this? So cool. I’m going to learn it too.】
【This hand gesture should be incorporated into xianxia dramas.】
【I screenshot that flash of light. It was a circle surrounding all these tents. Oh my god, it’s so hard to tell what Xi Yu is doing~】
【Hahahahahaha, I’m laughing so hard I’m getting rich. Xi Yu even covered the drone. I can’t imagine how helpless he’ll be when he goes home and sees how shameless the production team was.】
【I apologize for saying earlier that Xi Yu was trying to show off. He really is protecting these people… I’m crying so hard. Although I don’t know what he’s doing, I can tell for sure that there probably won’t be anything bad inside this circle.】
【Movie Emperor Lu is so good at fishing for a man… I can’t sleep again tonight, bro…】
Xi Yu activated the barrier and confirmed that no wild beasts could enter.
Just as he was about to remove the thin jacket from the drone, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Lu Zhixing pressed against Xi Yu from behind, slowly pushing his hand down.
“I can’t sleep. Whenever I close my eyes, I see the wolves. Can I sleep with you?”
Lu Zhixing rested his head against Xi Yu’s shoulder, his voice low and pitiful, looking exactly like a spoiled little sweetheart.
Xi Yu’s back was pressed against Lu Zhixing’s chest.
After a moment of silence, he pushed him away and rejected his suggestion.
Lu Zhixing hadn’t expected to be rejected.
Ever since he had led Xi Yu to believe that this body was a vessel carrying Zhiyi’s divine power, Xi Yu rarely refused him anything.
He froze for a moment, but quickly recovered and spoke aggrievedly.
“But you said you would protect me.”
“I’ve set up a barrier around here. Nothing can get in, so you won’t be in danger.”
Xi Yu paused before adding, “As for the fear in your heart, try to overcome it.”
Originally, Xi Yu didn’t care.
He was used to roughing it. He could sleep with anyone, and he didn’t mind if the tent was a little cramped.
He certainly wouldn’t have refused to sleep with Lu Zhixing. He needed to keep an eye on the surging demonic aura within Lu Zhixing at all times.
But that was before today.
He had lived for far too long and had nearly forgotten that someone Lu Zhixing’s age was in the prime of his youthful vitality.
It was inevitable that there would be a reaction early in the morning. He really…
Lu Zhixing probably didn’t know about this morning, but to prevent such an incident from happening again, Xi Yu felt that he still needed to be careful.
After all, this was a livestream.
If some scandal were to arise, Xi Yu was still a man, and it would be bad for Lu Zhixing.
