The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 124

When he was younger, the elders of the Xuanshu Association had looked down on his ordinary family, wanting to take him into the Association for training.

But Luo Huaiyu's parents insisted that he should go to school, as it was the country's obligation to provide education, which angered the old-timers who believed that school was pointless.

After that, he was sidelined by the Xuanshu Association.

He was given fewer teachings and fewer resources than his peers. If it weren't for his considerable talent, he would never have been able to match Shen Wenshu's level.

But he wasn't too bothered by it.

Luo Huaiyu raised his chin. "I did pretty well on my college entrance exams, got into the architecture department at Zhongda University, and later went to Jiaotong University for my graduate studies."

Chi Qingzhou let out a surprised "Wow!" and clapped in admiration.

Even Luo Ting was momentarily stunned, and his gaze toward Luo Huaiyu shifted, as if seeing him in a new light.

Luo Ting said, "So your talent and abilities are quite impressive."

Luo Huaiyu glanced at him in surprise, his expression softening a little. He spoke quietly, "You're pretty impressive too."

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became much more relaxed. Chi Qingzhou looked around, then asked Luo Ting, "So, Ah Ting, how did you answer Ah Yu?"

Luo Ting shrugged. "At the time, I didn't know anything about his situation, so I just told him that Sheng Yihang was technically my client."

That answer seemed fine, didn't it?

Chi Qingzhou was a bit confused, still not understanding how the two of them had ended up fighting.

Luo Huaiyu cleared his throat, a little embarrassed. "I was pretty agitated at the time. When he said that, I asked him where Sheng Yihang was. He told me that Sheng Yihang had gone missing, possibly stolen by someone. I thought it sounded ridiculous, so I assumed he was lying."

Luo Ting also seemed somewhat embarrassed. "I thought he was lying too. He was an exorcist, and Sheng Yihang was just an ordinary person. How could he possibly kill him? I thought he was just stirring things up, and since he wouldn't let it go... well, I got a bit carried away."

Chi Qingzhou finally understood.

It was indeed a misunderstanding.

Luo Ting had never seen an ordinary person capable of killing an exorcist, so it made sense that he thought Luo Huaiyu was lying.

Luo Huaiyu, on the other hand, had sensed Sheng Yihang's death aura on Luo Ting and thought that Luo Ting had been with Sheng Yihang recently and was hiding his whereabouts, thinking he was protecting Sheng Yihang. He had no idea that Sheng Yihang had actually been stolen.

The deeply ingrained stereotypes had led them both astray. With the additional influence of the negative emotions triggered by Xing Shuzhan's aura, the two of them had heated up in the moment, and the fight had broken out.

Chi Qingzhou was stunned. "You two fought from after five in the afternoon until just now? That's almost two hours!"

Luo Ting and Luo Huaiyu both lowered their heads, feeling even more embarrassed.

In the beginning, they hadn't intended to go all out. Despite the heated exchange, they were still holding back. But as time passed, they lost control, targeting each other's weaknesses.

Luckily, Chi Qingzhou arrived just in time, or who knows what could have happened.

Luo Huaiyu awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth and spoke softly. "Actually, I passed by Yuexi Ridge this afternoon and saw a few girls watching your livestream. I stopped to wait for you for a while. If you'd arrived half an hour earlier, we would have bumped into each other."

Unfortunately, Xue Jinshi had been stubborn about his cosmetics and dragged his feet along the way, delaying the production crew by more than forty minutes.

Luo Huaiyu continued, "I was in a hurry to find Sheng Yihang for revenge, so I only waited for about ten minutes at Yuexi Ridge before leaving in a rush."

If things had gone differently, he might never have had the chance to fight with Luo Ting.

Had they not fought, they wouldn't have caused the disruption of the large tomb's leaked energy, leading to part of the ghostly and deathly energies being assimilated into the miasma in Jingming Mountain, which caused Xing Shuzhan to be unable to recover it.

Chi Qingzhou fell into a long silence.

His shadow swayed lightly at his feet, and another half of his soul slowly surfaced, opening its blood-red eyes.

Xing Shuzhan gently patted his back, speaking in a soothing tone, "It's nothing. It's less than one in a thousand of the power. Don't get upset."

Chi Qingzhou snorted through his nose, turning his head to avoid answering.

He turned to look at Luo Huaiyu, his tone serious. "You said Sheng Yihang killed you. Could you explain in more detail what happened?"

Luo Huaiyu paused, his eyes filled with hatred. He remained quiet for a while, then slowly nodded.

"I actually wanted to ask for your help."

He had already told Chi Qingzhou that his hatred for Sheng Yihang wasn't just because Sheng Yihang had killed him.

Just like his parents were ordinary people, although Sheng Yihang's grandfather was an exorcist, both his parents were ordinary people.

Sheng Yihang had not inherited his grandfather's talents, which made him envious of Luo Huaiyu's ability to become an exorcist.

Luo Huaiyu knew what his childhood friend was thinking. He had told Sheng Yihang many times that being an exorcist didn't make him superior, but Sheng Yihang never listened, and in the end, he harbored hatred for him.

As a result, not only did Luo Huaiyu become the target of Sheng Yihang's hatred, but his entire family did as well.

Luo Huaiyu said, "My parents treated him so well."

Their families had known each other for a long time. Since Sheng Yihang's parents were often busy, Luo Huaiyu's family helped take care of him frequently. From kindergarten onward, Sheng Yihang had been like a third child to their family. His parents were the ones who handled his studies and life.

Whenever Sheng Yihang caused trouble, it was Luo Huaiyu's father who helped deal with it.

When it came time for parent-teacher conferences and Sheng Yihang's parents couldn't attend, it was Luo Huaiyu's mother who went instead.

When Sheng Yihang was in middle school and his grades were poor, it was Luo Huaiyu's father who helped choose tutoring classes and made sure he did his homework.

In high school, when Sheng Yihang had nowhere to eat, his mother would invite him to have meals at their house.
