Lu He, realizing he'd been found out, felt an uncontrollable pang of guilt rise. He cleared his throat twice; the fiery anger he had just felt was mostly extinguished by the recent news.

"You..."

"Brother He!"

Just as he opened his mouth, an assistant came running over from afar, holding Lu He's phone. Seeing Yu Yuan, the assistant froze and glanced cautiously at Lu He.

"...Brother He, maybe I shouldn't have come over now?"

Lu He's face darkened. Beyond feeling guilty, now he was also embarrassed, and his tone turned sour. "What do you want from me?"

The assistant hurriedly handed him the phone. "It's Miss Jingxi's call. She called just now, but you weren't around."

Hearing "Jingxi," Lu He snapped back to reality. His embarrassment and guilt vanished instantly as he quickly took the phone and glanced at it.

The missed call lasted just over twenty seconds and only rang once—definitely not urgent.

Only then did he remember why he came looking for Yu Yuan in the first place.

Yu Yuan had already walked away with Zhou Yu while Lu He and the assistant were chatting briefly.

"Yu Yuan!" he shouted, drawing many glances from outside the pavilion.

Yu Yuan stopped and looked back at him, puzzled.

Though he resembled the original character by about 80%, subtle differences in their facial features existed. If Ge Anduo, skilled in physiognomy, were here, he'd notice these two had completely opposite face readings.

Lu He's face was bright and full with the twelve palace stars shining. The 'life palace' between his eyebrows radiated purple energy—an omen of great wealth and noble fortune. Such a person, so long as they don't turn to crime, would live a life of luxury and fame, safe and happy into old age, free from illness.

Yu Yuan's face was different. Though only subtle differences, their destinies were worlds apart.

Yu Yuan's 'migration palace' was heavily emphasized compared to the other eleven palaces, destined for a life of upheaval and wandering.

The most important palaces—parents, spouse, and children—were all shriveled and dark on Yu Yuan's face, signs of early misfortune. She would be separated from parents young, experience a broken marriage in youth, and likely lose children by middle age.

More so, the greatest likelihood was that she wouldn't even live to old age, disappearing from this world early.

After all, in the original story, Yu Yuan was already dead by now.

Zhou Yu glanced at his master, then at the dark-eyed Lu He, instinctively stepping in front to shield Yu Yuan.

Though his sister was an entertainment manager, as a wealthy young man, Zhou Yu wasn't clueless about the industry. At least from his memory, Lu He and Yu Yuan's relationship was still stuck in that era when netizens made memes from their videos.

But the look Lu He gave his master was anything but "friendly."

"What do you want!" Zhou Yu glared as Lu He stepped closer, boldly stepping forward himself.

Lu He lowered his gaze slightly, appraising Zhou Yu from head to toe, noticing some patterns on his clothes. A hint of sarcasm flickered in his eyes. "All designer brands... Yu Yuan, this time you at least found yourself a decent sugar daddy, unlike before, with beer bellies and bald heads."

He grabbed the necklace around Zhou Yu's neck, glanced at it, and chuckled with a strange meaning. "Oh, an exclusive international designer piece? Nice family background, huh?"

"What's that got to do with you?!" Zhou Yu frowned, brushing Lu He's hand off the necklace, flicking nonexistent dust away, his voice full of disgust. "We're master and disciple! That's my master! I'm her disciple! How dirty is your mind!"

"Master and disciple?" Lu He lost interest, turning his eyes away from Zhou Yu to look at the expressionless Yu Yuan behind him, grinning. "Is this some new fetish?"

"Fetish my ass!" After a few days of calm and cultivation at the temple, Zhou Yu's bottled-up rage exploded all at once. "Can't you understand human language?!"

"Zhou Yu." Yu Yuan reached out and pulled back Zhou Yu, who was already rolling up his sleeves, standing him behind her. Her gaze was cold as she looked at the provoking Lu He. "What do you want?"

In Lu He's eyes reflected the figure of the sister who looked so much like him—his biological sister Yu Yuan.

Others always said that separated siblings had some kind of mysterious attraction, but he felt nothing close to that toward Yu Yuan—instead, every time they met, he couldn't hold back his temper.

"It's nothing serious." He pushed down the rising frustration again, lowering his eyes to look down. "I just want to ask, what are you doing here on the set?"

"The set isn't yours, so why do you care what we're doing here?" Zhou Yu couldn't hold back his anger either and was about to step forward but was stopped by Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan looked up at Lu He, smiling gently, returning his gaze with the same expression he'd just given Zhou Yu.

Same face. Same expression. Equally annoying.

"What does it have to do with you? Does your floor float on the Pacific Ocean or something? Mind your own business."

Zhou Yu burst out laughing.

Lu He: "..."

His face twitched, his back molars grinding with a sharp "zzzt" sound as he shot Zhou Yu a dark glare.

After a moment, as if thinking better of it, he suddenly smiled broadly. "Master and disciple? Ha, Yu Yuan, you sure haven't exhausted your mystic persona if you're even taking disciples now. When you were begging to join the Lu family, did you ever bother to ask what my second brother does?"

With that, he waved at Zhou Yu behind Yu Yuan, his sinister eyes softening into a sly, coaxing look. "Kid, you know the Celestial Master Hall, right? My second brother is the top disciple of the Celestial Master Hall's Grand Elder. Instead of following some script-spinning mystic, you'd better find the big league early—that's the path for real talent. Don't you think so?"

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and smirked. "I've been with my master for days now. Whether she's legit or not, I don't know. But do you even read the news?"

"You mean that thing with Director Xiang at Baiyun City?" Lu He's expression didn't change. "My second brother told me about it, and yes, it's true. I'm not denying that."

Zhou Yu: "Then you..."

"The Xiang matter is true, but are you sure... it was your master who discovered it?" Lu He pressed hard.

Zhou Yu, impatient, rubbed his ear, clearly exasperated. "Well... how to put it... Actor Lu."

Lu He raised a handsome brow. "Hmm?"
