The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 120

The night wind howled past his ears, and the shadow beneath his feet blended into the forest, quickly expanding. Its ends, like flexible tentacles, kept probing outward.

Grayish mold grew from the wet soil, tree trunks, and moss in the forest, like countless eyes, all staring at the direction of Luo Ting and the corpse walker.

Using gravity to his advantage, he dropped several dozen meters in the blink of an eye.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, the shadow suddenly expanded into a large net, catching him and effortlessly dissipating the tremendous impact from his fall.

With the momentum of the fall, he rolled once on the shadow and then leaped, shooting towards the still-fighting Luo Ting and the corpse walker!

"Stop, stop, we're all friends, can't we be a little friendlier?" he called out, his voice carrying a hint of laughter.

The massive shadow surged from the ground at his words, and its tendrils shot out, aiming directly at the center of the two.

Danger!

The familiar ghostly energy slammed toward them, and under the immense pressure, Luo Ting still felt his mind shaken violently. Instinctively, he threw himself sideways, rolling into a pile of fallen leaves.

The corpse walker was even more heavily affected by the ghostly energy. Luo Huaiyu instantly collapsed to his knees. In a panic, his right hand moved, and he quickly cast a spell he often used in life, forcing himself to rebound in the opposite direction. He crashed into a tree trunk before barely stopping!

The two were dizzy from the impact, taking a few seconds to slowly get back on their feet.

When they saw who had come, both were stunned.

Luo Ting: "Zhou Zhou?"

Luo Huaiyu: "Chi Qingzhou?"

Chi Qingzhou bent his knees to soften the impact from his jump and steadied himself. He looked around, his expression innocent.

"Ah, um, good evening, everyone?"

Luo Ting and Luo Huaiyu fell into silence.

The two of them exchanged complicated glances at Chi Qingzhou, unsure how to respond.

Right now, they were either injured or covered in dirt, not looking good at all.

Chi Qingzhou's gaze became even more innocent.

Luo Ting sighed, stood up, and patted the dust off his clothes, then quietly asked, "Zhou Zhou, what were you doing stopping me just now?"

If it hadn't been for his friend interfering, he would have already used the Soul Bell to forcibly suppress that walking corpse.

Luo Huaiyu shot a glance at Luo Ting, sneered, and also asked, "Chi Qingzhou, are you trying to stop me from seeking revenge?"

His voice was dry and hoarse, like it had been burned by fire, even more grating than Luo Ting's.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ting frowned. "You actually know Zhou Zhou?"

Luo Huaiyu didn't answer, just stared at Chi Qingzhou.

Chi Qingzhou didn't quite understand what Luo Huaiyu meant, feeling a bit confused as he looked back at him.

Wasn't the person who killed him his childhood friend? Why was it suddenly related to Ah Ting?

Chi Qingzhou thought for a while, then gave him a somewhat naive and friendly smile, saying sincerely, "All my friends are kind-hearted, there are no bad ones among them. There must be some misunderstanding between you. How about we sit down and talk it out?"

Luo Ting's expression changed immediately, looking Luo Huaiyu up and down with a critical eye. "You're also Zhou Zhou's friend? I've never heard of you."

Luo Huaiyu still ignored him and asked Chi Qingzhou, "What makes you so sure all your friends are good people? If they're human, they can still make mistakes."

Chi Qingzhou said firmly, "Impossible. My friends are absolutely all good people."

The system jumped around inside Chi Qingzhou's shadow, loudly declaring, [I know this answer! Because the host's not-so-kind friends have all disappeared, so now his only friends are good people!]

Luo Huaiyu couldn't hear the system's voice, but seeing how determined Chi Qingzhou was, he instead sneered.

"You're too confident. People can change." His pitch-black pupils held resentment and self-mockery. "Since you can't provide proof, why should I believe your words?"

"Hey, what are you talking about?!" Luo Ting didn't like hearing Luo Huaiyu's words, angrily interrupting, "Zhou Zhou has always been warm-hearted and kind, why would you question him?"

Did this walking corpse really think it was something?

Thinking Chi Qingzhou wasn't trustworthy? Ridiculous!

Luo Ting looked at Luo Huaiyu with even more disdain, his face showing clear impatience.

Luo Huaiyu was also annoyed by his constant interruptions and turned to look at him.

Their gazes crossed, seeing the mockery on each other's faces, and the suppressed anger flared up once more.

Luo Huaiyu furrowed his brow and cursed in a low voice, "What do you know about trust, you villain who only shields the killer? Enough already, I think it's obvious enough that he's friends with you!"

Luo Ting sneered, "You unreasonable fool, what do you even understand? Do you have any friends? Just blabbering here!"

"You!"

Luo Huaiyu was hit in a sore spot, his anger flaring up sharply, and he suddenly stood upright, moving swiftly, almost no longer resembling a walking corpse.

"Who are you to judge me?"

Luo Ting rolled his eyes dramatically. "What, am I not allowed to judge you? How laughable, are you some kind of protected species?"

Chi Qingzhou quickly raised his hand, signaling for calm.

"Don't argue, don't argue. We're all friends of mine, let's talk things out. We should get along, no fighting."

He was completely confused by the sudden argument between the two.

What had happened before he came here?

Ah Ting was gentle, and Luo Huaiyu didn't seem like the type to just judge without reason. So why were they at odds with each other?

He was full of confusion as he tried to calm the two of them down. "We're all friends, whatever the misunderstanding is, let's sit down and talk it through."

Luo Ting and Luo Huaiyu exchanged a glance, and their faces immediately filled with disdain.

They both spoke at once, raising their voices.

"Does he even deserve to be your friend?"

"I'm not your friend!"

Before the words had even faded, Luo Huaiyu choked, glaring at Luo Ting in anger.

This corpse-farming bastard was like a madman!

He must've been cursed to meet this lunatic on the road!

Chi Qingzhou pressed his palm down, sincerely saying, "It's okay, we'll be friends soon."

Luo Huaiyu: "..."
