She grabbed her phone, fuming. "No way! I'm not using my alt this time. I'm using my main account to curse them back!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Calm down!" Her manager quickly snatched the phone away. "Are you out of your mind? Do you want to ruin your career?! The moment you say anything, you'll be tied to Yu Yuan for good!"

"So what if I am? I'd be honored!" Yu Qingqing wiped the remaining serum off her face, her delicate features glowing with excitement. "This is Master Yu we're talking about! She's the real deal! Just wait and see, sis—someone as talented as Master Yu is gonna be unstoppable in the future!"

"Measure, measure, measure! Measure my ass!" The manager was fuming at her artist's naivety. "Did you forget how she bullied you on the red carpet before?"

Of course, Yu Qingqing hadn't forgotten. But after Yu Yuan had helped her out last night when she was in desperate need, all her grudges had completely melted away. The little voodoo doll she had been mentally stabbing? Yeah, that was gone. Now, she was just a full-blown fangirl.

"Oh, come on, it was just a red carpet 'who wore it better' moment! It's not my fault Master Yu is just naturally gorgeous!"

Yu Qingqing lifted her chin, her eyes sparkling with admiration, as if she didn't see anything wrong with being outshined.

She touched her own face and sighed. "To be honest, Sister, I really think I'm not as good-looking as my Master Yu. Like, what was I even thinking, walking the red carpet with her? Total brain fart!"

Manager: "......"

Damn it. She's gone. Completely hopeless.

Looking at Yu Qingqing, who had entirely lost her fighting spirit and had basically defected to the enemy camp, the manager issued a stern warning. "No matter what, with your current popularity and public image, I absolutely forbid you from getting tied up with Yu Yuan! If there really has to be a collaboration, we'll talk about it after 'A Bite of Meat Bun' livestream is over!"

After saying that, she ripped off her face mask, grabbed Yu Qingqing's phone, and walked off to wash up without looking back.

Yu Qingqing: "!!!"

Sister, you seriously have no vision! By the time the 'A Bite of Meat Bun' livestream is over, everyone will know Master Yu is the real deal! There won't be any leftovers for us to sip on!

Watching her manager disappear into the bathroom, Yu Qingqing quickly logged into Weibo from her PC and tagged "Green River Livestream @A Bite of Meat Bun."

[Wishing grandma safety and good health.]

Normally, whenever Yu Yuan got attacked online, it was always a full-on fandom battle. But now, out of nowhere, Yu Qingqing posted this supportive message, leaving everyone in the 'A Bite of Meat Bun' livestream fandom stunned.

Wait... so Qingqing was on their side now?

Fans immediately flooded the comment section:

[Qingqing is seriously too kind! OMG, how can someone be this gorgeous and this sweet at the same time?]

[For real! I've had enough of those people going after someone's grandma! Can't they have a little humanity? How does hurting someone's grandma benefit them in any way?]

[Praying for A Bite of Meat Bun's grandma!]

[Wishing grandma a safe return home!]

Yu Qingqing was already one of the most popular rising actresses at the moment. She had a great personality, solid acting skills, and a passion for charity work. On top of that, she was super down-to-earth and known for having a great temper in the industry, making her well-loved by the general public.

With her fans being fierce warriors online, before anyone even found Yu Yuan's grandma, the hashtag #Wishing Grandma Safety# had already climbed to the trending list.

Meanwhile, at a night market, a silver-haired teenager stopped in front of a fried pancake stall, watching in disbelief as the stall owner ripped down an old, tattered poster that read "Searching for My Daughter for Thirteen Years".

"Uncle, did you guys really find your daughter?"

The old man, who had been searching for years, now looked refreshed, as if he had shed years off his face. He glanced fondly at the young woman skillfully helping him pack up the stall.

"Yeah, we found her. We're planning to move to another city for a fresh start."

The silver-haired guy recognized the stall owner—an old man who had been selling fried pancakes in this market for as long as he could remember. He might not look like much, but every time someone with bad intentions came looking for trouble, this scrappy young man had been the one to chase them off.

If the couple had been able to run this stall peacefully all these years, it was largely thanks to this silver-haired dude's protection.

Seeing the young man scratching his head, his handsome face scrunched up in frustration, the old man couldn't help but ask, "Kid, is something on your mind?"

"Ah..."

Zhou Yu awkwardly opened his mouth, struggling for words for a long moment. But in the end, his overwhelming desire to become an apprentice won out.

"Here's the thing, Uncle—I've been into ghosts and supernatural stuff since I was a kid. I heard that the person who helped you find your daughter is some kind of legendary master. So, I was wondering... could you maybe introduce me?"

"You mean Master Yu?" The stall owner's wife came over while wiping down the tables. The moment she mentioned "Master Yu," her face was full of gratitude. "You're asking the right person! Look, Master Yu even made it to the trending list!"

"Trending?"

Zhou Yu hadn't expected the master he wanted to apprentice under to be this famous. He opened Weibo, and right at the top of the trending list was #Wishing Grandma Safety#.

And then, right below it at number two:

#Yu Yuan Telling Fortunes for A Bite of Meat Bun#

Zhou Yu: "......"

Wait a second. His future master's name sounded kinda familiar!

Wasn't this the same name his sister had been ranting about—the black-and-red* celebrity she was so desperate to dig up dirt on?!

(*Black-and-red [黑红] = A celebrity who is both famous and controversial, loved and hated at the same time.)

"Hello? Sis? It's me, Zhou Yu."

At four in the morning, Zhou Yu sat by the deserted night market street, surrounded by nothing but empty tents, and called his sister.

What greeted him was a lion's roar from the other end of the phone.
"You little brat! Do you even know what time it is?! I finally managed to get a good night's sleep, and you just had to ruin it!"
