He didn't actually hate Sheng Ya in his heart, he just wanted to escape, he couldn't stand Sheng Ya's nearly pathological need to control him. He wasn't an emotionless piece of wood, he was a living person!
Upon seeing Young Master Xi'en stuck in a vicious cycle, Lu Yu sighed, somewhat helpless.
Actually, this wasn't entirely Xi'en's fault. The tribal leader really went too far in some respects. Perhaps things will get better after Xi'en leaves Xixili and both parties have some time to cool down.

Lu Yu led the group, stealthily evading the other tribesmen, and came to a secluded cave near the canyon.
"You guys wait here for a bit, I'll go fetch Chiyan."
Xi'en stood anxiously, "Alu, shall I go with you?"
Lu Yu patted his shoulder reassuringly, "No need, you just wait here, I'll be back soon."
Having said this, Lu Yu left the cave.
Xi'en could not define what he was feeling, concern and guilt converged within him.
