Mo Fei thrusted a pile of newspapers into Lou Yu’s arms and said with a good spirit, “Hey. Look at these. See for yourself.”
“What is it?” Lou Yu asked with puzzlement.
Mo Fei sat down beside Lou Yu with a heart for gossip, “I thought your promotion to level six should be some kind of breaking news and all those school newspapers, at least nine of ten, should put you on the front page.”
“Well, the truth is?” Lou Yu asked curiously.
“The truth is, Zheng Xuan and Xu Zihan’s breaking up landed all the headlines of these newspapers,” Mo Fei said with pity.
“This one: A blockbuster report: Ex-model couple turned into enemies.”
“This one: Love-struck Zheng Xuan’s running away – The story behind the love saint’s depravity”
“This one: The mystery of Zheng Xuan’s love for Xu Zihan is now revealed for you!”
“And this: The couple parted ways for they mistaking one for another!”
“Well, look at this, Zheng Xuan’s picture is so big while yours so small. Saying that you are a green leaf to set off the red flower is even flattering to you. You look like...rotten leaf...” Mo Fei scoffed.
Looking at Mo Fei’s gloating smile, Lou Yu was speechless, “Is that so funny?”
“Yes, of course. Everyone says you are a handsome guy. But I think Zheng Xuan is more stylish than you! See his action of choking Xu Zihan’s neck! How domineering, mighty, and fascinating! He is awesome.” Mo Fei said triumphantly.
Lou Yu robbed of Mo Fei’s newspaper and gnashed his teeth angrily. Who the hell designed the layout? His own photo in the newspaper was wretched and small, while Zheng Xuan’s was eye-appealing and handsome. The editor-in-chief must have psychological problems.
Mo Fei patted Lou Yu on the shoulder, “Young man, it seems you’re inferior to him in personal charms! Even lovers’ quarrels could get more attention than your promotion. Don’t you think you should have some retrospect about yourself?”
Lou Yu looked at the newspaper and screwed up his mouth. “I didn’t expect Zheng Xuan to break up with Xu Zihan. Zheng Xuan is a model man. Everyone said that Xu Zihan must have done plenty of good deeds in his last life to deserve Zheng Xuan’s unconditional love in this life. Now it seems that there is no love for no reason.”
Mo Fei scratched his head, “The newspaper said Xu Zihan has been lying to Zheng Xuan. I also heard Zheng Xuan seize Xu Zihan by his throat and ask him ‘who was the one that went to the Realm instead of you’.”
Lou Yu raised his head, looked at Mo Fei, and asked with sharp sights, “Who do you think the one was?”
“How would I know?” Mo Fei blurted out without thinking.
Lou Yu glanced at Mo Fei, “Don’t you know? Think carefully about it again.”
Mo Fei turned his eyeballs and suddenly his mind was shed some light on, “You mean Yiyi?”
Lou Yu nodded, “This is what I am thinking.”
Mo Fei shook his head. “No, you must be mistaken. How could Zheng Xuan, the idiot, deserve Yiyi? Definitely not him.”
Lou Yu shrugged his shoulders, “It’s just my guess. Has Yiyi ever mentioned him in front of you?”
Mo Fei shook his head, “No! But I didn’t ask him. We should respect other people’s privacy. I don’t gossip like you.”
Lou Yu was speechless and shouted inside, ‘I don’t gossip, okay?’
“By the way, there’s one thing I forgot to tell you.” Lou Yu took out a Nine-leaf Heaven-mending Herb from the Space Ring.
Mo Fei’s eyes widened at once. He grabbed Lou Yu’s shoulder excitedly and said, “You really found it!”
Lou Yu nodded, “I’ve already used one. This is for you.”
Mo Fei grabbed the arm of Lou Yu to feel his meridians, and then, with a face of surprise, he said, “Your aptitude has been restored.”
Lou Yu replied with his head nodding, ‘Yes.”
Mo Fei blinked and felt like crying. Damn it, he mustered all his strength to catch up with Lou Yu. Now he had no chance to win the man. Shit, was he going to be behind this man for his whole lifetime?
“You look pale. What are you sad about?” Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei, bewildered.
Mo Fei forced a smile, “I’m so happy for you! Congratulations!”
Lou Yu smiled and said, “Thank you! This one is for you.”
Looking at the Nine-leaf Heaven-mending Grass sent to the front of him, Mo Fei shook his head and said with disappointment, “It’s useless now.”
“What do you mean?” Asked Lou Yu.
“The Nine-leaf Heaven-mending Herbs must be refined into liquid medicine within half an hour after it is picked. If you miss the time, the efficacy will be completely lost. And they are no difference from those common weeds. Also, the refined liquid medicine must be used within half an hour, otherwise, it will be totally useless.” Mo Fei explained.
Lou Yu suddenly froze, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” If he had not immediately refined the liquid medicine, the efforts he made would be wasted.
Mo Fei smiled awkwardly, “How would I know you can really find it?”
Lou Yu, “...”
