Li JingHua became quiet for a moment upon hearing Li XinWen's question. Averting her eyes as if it was her fault that he did not awaken any abilities in the future she had talked about.
"I see…" Li XinWen responded while nodding his head, as if to assure Li JingHua that it was no big deal. 'But since I've taken over this body, there shouldn't be any problem even if I do not have those abilities. As long as I cultivate properly, I'll be able to do what they can do.'
"Ah'Wen, will you listen to your sister?" Li JingHua asked. "Please?"
He was pulled away from his thoughts when he heard Li JingHua. Faced with Li JingHua's pleading look, Li XinWen could only sigh. 'What traumatized you this much?' Li XinWen pondered as he glanced over at Min XiaoYu before he let out a sigh. 'Honestly, I really am unwilling to learn from others…'
Li XinWen's sigh made Li JingHua feel helpless. 'If it was all up to me XinWen…' she thought, as she looked down on the floor.
Li XinWen reached out and touched Li JingHua's shoulder ever so gently, upon noticing Li JingHua's demeanor. Li JingHua looked up and saw Li XinWen looking at her with affection, as if to reassure her that the fact that he did not awaken any abilities was not something to feel bad about. She smiled back at her brother as if to say thank you and Li XinWen nodded in acknowledgement, before turning to Min XiaoYu. In order to keep Li JingHua from worrying too much, he decided to agree for now.
"Mr. Min, please leave the address to your martial arts school. I will go pay a visit this weekend," Li XinWen said before he reached into his pocket and threw his phone towards Min XiaoYu who managed to catch it in time. "And give me your contact number."
Min XiaoYu obediently keyed in his contact information before politely handing back the phone. "I've also added myself on Donyun for you," Min XiaoYu informed Li XinWen. Upon hearing Min XiaoYu, Li JingHua's face immediately changed.
"You did what?!" she asked, almost falling off her seat.
"Added myself from Mr. Li's Donyun...?" Min XiaoYu hesitated, wondering if he did something wrong. As if on cue, his phone started vibrating in his pocket followed by a series of sound notifications. Usually, Min XiaoYu would think it was just a normal message from his family but when the notifications didn't stop, he couldn't help but take out his phone. Then, he saw that the number of followers on his Donyun were increasing at an alarming rate, and the number of posts on his walls were even more frightening. When Min XiaoYu navigated to his wall to read the posts, he was bombarded by numerous posts which kept increasing by the second.
[Li Town Store: Hey, hey, hey!! Who are you?! Why did our great god XinWen decide to follow you?!]
[Flower Li: Min XiaoYu? I have tried searching for this man but no result came up! Who is this third-rate small actor??]
[WenWen Fan No.1: No! I refuse to believe my god would follow some no name actor! His account must have been hacked! This Min XiaoYu person must be a hacker!! Watch as I report you!]
Similar other messages were posted on his wall to the point that Min XiaoYu turned pale. "This...?" he turned his phone over to show Li JingHua and Li XinWen the state of his Donyun. Li XinWen just blinked innocently as he looked at the phone screen while Li JingHua gave Min XiaoYu a look of pity.
"Those are Ah'Wen's fans..." Li JingHua informed Min XiaoYu as she let out a small chuckle. "I wish you luck, Mr. Min."
"Fans?" Min XiaoYu asked and hurriedly searched for Li XinWen online. There was a long list of search result entries but the top result, which was a biography entry from an official website of an entertainment agency. It was enough to enlighten him of Li XinWen's status in the entertainment industry. "I did not know you were such a well-known actor…" his tone a mix of respect and surprise.
Li XinWen didn't reply because at that moment, his own phone went on a notification spree. Just like Min XiaoYu's wall, his own Donyun was flooded with messages from fans. Then, he received a call from his manager which, he didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked over at his sister, not knowing what to do.
"What are you doing? Answer! Your manager needs your answer to deal with this mess."
Li XinWen just nodded his head before he answered the call. "Hello?"
"XinWen? Good. Is there something wrong with your Donyun account? Who is this Min XiaoYu? Did your account get hacked?" Manager Su's voice sounded rushed and Li XinWen could clearly hear the clicking sound of keyboard in the background.
"No, Manager Su. My account wasn't hacked. A friend accidentally followed himself from my account. You know how Donyun only allows private messages between mutuals?" Li XinWen explained calmly.
"Is this friend of yours an actor?" Manager Su asked in a careful tone.
"No."
"Someone from the entertainment industry?"
"No."
"Someone with a background?"
"Uhh... not that I know of?"
"Li XinWen, you better be careful! Your current reputation is quite fragile since your accident. And giving you a one-year leave because of the doctor's advice is already harming your reputation. Don't make it worse by breaking unspoken rules or else it'll be hard to wash your reputation clean," Manager Su warned Li XinWen.
"Manager Su, please don't worry. Min XiaoYu is just a man with little money. He can't even pay more than six million! How can he pay for my service?" Li XinWen chuckled while Min XiaoYu looked at him in disbelief for shooting him when he was already lying down. "In fact, we only met today because my sister suggested I learn martial arts and his grandfather owned a martial arts school! Say, if I can master martial arts, do you think you can get me roles from those kinds of movies?"
"Hmm... I think that is possible. Wait, don't you dare change the topic! Li XinWen, is he only a friend? Are you sure we don't need to prepare a PR for you?"
"No need, Manager Su. He really is just a friend. You know that I am still too young to enter those kinds of relationships," Li XinWen replied with a small laugh. 'If she knew about the original and Xue Rui, it would be bad, wouldn't it?' he added in his thought.
"Alright. Then don't do anything on your Donyun. Let me handle those fans."
