Chapter 718 Eighteen Handsome Men Arrive in the Otaku Circle. The atmosphere inside the private room had been somewhat oppressive due to the previous confrontation between Tang Jia Liu Shao and Yu Tu.

Until Yutu simply put on headphones to block out the sound, adopting a posture of refusing to communicate.

Although Tang Jia Liu Shao's face was ashen and he was filled with anger, he could not afford to lose his temper in public again—he couldn't take his anger out on someone who "couldn't hear," as that would only make him seem even less gentlemanly.

The tension gradually dissipated, and the atmosphere slowly returned to normal.

Everyone present was a veteran in the online novel circle, and they all knew Tang Jia Liu Shao's personality—lacking in morals but extremely concerned with his image, always liking to stand on high and point fingers, and always marketing his image as a deeply affectionate and devoted person, frequently saying—"Resurrect, my love!"

It certainly grabbed a lot of attention.

But he turned around and married a young college student. Everyone could see through his hypocrisy, but no one called him out on it.

The reason why everyone is willing to flatter and appease him is simply because they consider his status in the industry and are too lazy to ruin relationships over such a small matter. It's better to avoid trouble.

In the entire private room, only Yu Tu, this Sichuan girl, was outspoken and dared to contradict him in public, giving him no way out.

Ironically, this argument between the two had nothing to do with Gu Luo from beginning to end. It was just that Tang Jia Liu Shao was unhappy after being refuted, and his inherent desire for control and competitiveness made him insist on winning.

Suppressing his anger, Tang Jia Liu Shao once again adopted the airs of a great master, spitting as he spoke eloquently about how to advance the platform's clean-up campaign next year. His tone was full of unquestionable arrogance, as if he had the final say in everything.

The others either lowered their heads to drink tea or feigned agreement, their eyes full of perfunctory attitude.

Just then, the door to the private room creaked open.

The editor-in-chief of Sun Media, with a warm smile on his face, walked in first and addressed the group in the private room:

"Let me introduce you to a distinguished guest—the author of Lord of Mysteries, Panda God. Of course, you can also call him God Gu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped aside to let the person behind him pass.

Gu Luo walked slowly into the private room. His simple casual attire couldn't hide his tall and straight figure. A gentle smile graced his handsome face. His gaze swept over everyone, and he politely raised his hand to wave, his tone humble:

"Hello everyone, my name is Panda. Seniors, you can just call me Xiao Luo."

In an instant, the entire private room fell silent; even the sound of breathing seemed to be suppressed.

A group of middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, with potbellies, stared wide-eyed at the young man in front of them—he was not only so handsome that they couldn't take their eyes off him, but his youth was also beyond everyone's expectations.

Tang Jia Liu Shao's face was still frozen on the excited and commanding expression he had just displayed. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were full of astonishment, as if he had been put on pause and couldn't react for a moment.

Yutu suddenly ripped off one of her earphones, which was playing the gentle song "Is She a Mother or a Daughter" on repeat, a melody completely out of place in the current scene.

Her eyes widened, and she quickly stood up, her voice filled with shock and disbelief:

"Gu Luo? How could you be Gu Luo?! My God, you actually wrote 'Lord of Mysteries'?"

"Yes, I am Gu Luo, and I did write 'Lord of Mysteries'." Gu Luo nodded slightly, his tone polite and composed.

Having received an affirmative answer, the Jade Rabbit could no longer contain her excitement. She strode up to Gu Luo, staring intently at his stunningly handsome face. Her eyes instantly filled with stars, and she spoke in an exaggerated and straightforward tone:

"You're even more handsome in person than in your online photos! Your skin, your looks, your charisma—I'm breathless!"

Seeing this, the editor-in-chief of the Sun quickly stepped forward to stand between the two, waved helplessly at the Jade Rabbit, and reminded her with a smile:

"Hey, take it easy. She's only eighteen. Don't be so enthusiastic and scare her away."

However, upon hearing the words "eighteen years old," Yu Tu not only did not restrain herself, but became even more excited. The affection and straightforward desire in her eyes were almost overflowing. Her gaze was fixed on Gu Luo, and she wished she could pounce on him and take him right there and then.

The rest of the people in the private room finally came to their senses and began whispering among themselves, their expressions varied—some were shocked, some curious, some admiring, and some somewhat complicated.
