By the end, Liu Buli had still failed to create a normal puppet. After several attempts, the results were all the same, even developing in a direction of grotesque ugliness.
Lu Wuming could see that he truly had no talent in this area, so he stopped pressuring him. He simply took out the one he was most satisfied with and placed it alongside the small Liu Buli puppet.
Although his master forbade him from using the puppet for strange purposes, Lu Wuming felt a pang of regret, but it was not unbearable. After all, his master was in his arms now, so the fate of the small puppet was no longer important.
Time passed once more. The human cultivators made no significant moves, and strangely, the ghost tribe seemed indifferent to their existence. No news worth mentioning had arrived in such a long time.
It was at this moment that news finally came from Medicine Master Valley. It wasn't bad news; it was said that the Valley Master of Medicine Master Valley had found a Dao companion and was calling upon the world to hold a grand Dao Companion Ceremony.
When Liu Buli heard this news, he was lying in Lu Wuming's arms, eating fruit. When the Great Elder delivered the message, Liu Buli was so shocked that he nearly flipped over and fell to the ground.
Staring at the Great Elder, Liu Buli asked curiously, "Did Medicine Master Valley mention who their Valley Master's wife is?"
"No one knows that yet," the Great Elder shook his head. "But it's rumored to be a man, and his cultivation isn't very high. So, the cultivation world is in an uproar over this matter. As Sect Master knows, Medicine Master Valley's Valley Master, Shen Muzhi, is a highly respected figure in the cultivation world, and there have never been a shortage of people who like him. So, upon hearing this, it's said that many people are preparing to go to Medicine Master Valley to disrupt their Dao Companion Ceremony and snatch Shen Muzhi away."
Liu Buli blinked, his face immediately showing a look of great interest.
Based on their interactions during this time, he had already discovered this.
Although their Great Elder had no remarkable talent in cultivation, he definitely had his unique methods for investigating gossip.
At least, the information he had provided in the past, no matter how obscure or unbelievable, had always proven to be true in the end.
After experiencing such things many times, Liu Buli no longer doubted the Great Elder's words. At this very moment, upon hearing this news, Liu Buli immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Then, before things escalate, I must hurry to Medicine Master Valley."
As for why he was going?
Wishing Shen Muzhi and his companion a happy Dao Companion Ceremony was certainly important.
There was another reason Liu Buli didn't mention: he was eager to join the fun.
He also wanted to see how those so-called fans of Shen Muzhi planned to ruin Shen Muzhi's Dao Companion Ceremony. It was truly something to look forward to.
Once he made his decision, Lu Wuming naturally had to follow unconditionally.
Perhaps Shen Muzhi felt that a personal invitation was not grand enough for this Dao Companion Ceremony, so he sent out advertisements. In simple terms, anyone who knew about the event and wished to attend was welcome in Medicine Master Valley.
However, for important figures like Liu Buli, Shen Muzhi still sent a special invitation.
Flipping through the powerful calligraphy on the invitation, Liu Buli leaned into Lu Wuming's embrace. Letting the other man carry him forward on his sword, he shook his head and murmured softly, "I always thought that fellow You Siqi was extremely timid. But now it seems he's much bolder than I imagined."
"Perhaps this wasn't his idea," Lu Wuming shook his head and said, "Master, you know Shen Muzhi is actually a madman."
This evaluation was truly spot on.
Liu Buli couldn't help but laugh upon hearing it.
Nodding, he said, "Yes, I always thought that the male protagonist in novels was a hot-headed, justice-driven, chuunibyo type. I didn't expect him to be a 'white cut black' in reality, and it seems he's getting darker and darker..."
Lu Wuming shrugged.
He didn't like discussing others in this manner.
After all, in his heart, Liu Buli only piqued his interest when discussing himself or matters concerning the two of them.
However, since the conversation had started, Lu Wuming knew that if he didn't respond, Liu Buli would still be unhappy.
Sighing inwardly, realizing his master's affairs were becoming increasingly numerous, Lu Wuming remained silent for a moment before honestly and proactively saying, "This Dao Companion Ceremony will definitely not be peaceful."
Liu Buli chuckled, "Of course I know it won't be peaceful. Didn't the Great Elder already say it? So many people are watching Shen Muzhi, how could he possibly end this Dao Companion Ceremony comfortably?"
"I'm not talking about them causing trouble, but about other aspects," Lu Wuming shook his head and said, "For example, some more serious matters, but I don't know what they are, I just have this premonition."
He spoke earnestly.
Liu Buli knew that Lu Wuming would never joke about such things.
Therefore, his smile stiffened slightly. Liu Buli was silent for a moment before finally reminding him, "Don't say this in front of Shen Muzhi and the others. After all, marriage is a joyous occasion, and letting them be a little happier isn't a bad thing. Even if there is danger, we can find a way to resolve it after it erupts. Before it erupts, we should still enjoy happiness. Understand?"
Lu Wuming listened to his admonition and nodded obediently. He continued to control the flying sword they were riding, and before long, they arrived at Medicine Master Valley.
Although they were among the first to receive an invitation, there were still too many idle people in the cultivation world. So, by the time they arrived, Medicine Master Valley was practically overflowing with people.
Glancing at the faces around him that he had almost never seen before, Liu Buli walked directly towards the Valley Master's courtyard.
When he knocked and entered, You Siqi was the only one in the courtyard.
Seeing them arrive, You Siqi happily greeted them.
Liu Buli asked him, "Is this Shen Muzhi's idea? You've made a lot of progress to have the courage to cooperate with him."
However, to his surprise, You Siqi shook his head and replied with a smile, "This was my idea. I persuaded him for a long time before he agreed."
