At this moment, Liu Buli had no idea what kind of consequences his casual remark would bring.
Seeing that Lu Wuming had an idea and quickly nodded, he simply thought his foolish dog had grown up and learned to think, and he was unusually relieved.
Satisfied, he reached out and ruffled Lu Wuming's head, and Liu Buli asked, "Wuming, have you thought about what kind of image you want for your cultivation technique?"
He had asked casually.
But he didn't expect Lu Wuming's cheeks to instantly turn red upon hearing his question. As if hiding a crucial secret, he stammered in response, "I, I won't tell Master yet. When you see it, you'll definitely think it's very beautiful!"
He said it with unusual certainty.
Liu Buli instinctively felt that something was not quite right. But due to an unspeakable trust in Lu Wuming, he hesitated for only a moment before choosing to believe in Lu Wuming's aesthetic sense once more.
After all, according to his thoughts, what he had seen today was already the extreme of terror. He felt that no matter how powerful Lu Wuming was, he couldn't possibly come up with something similar, or even something that surpassed this blood-drenched giant dragon.
So he was mentally prepared.
No matter what appeared next, it shouldn't scare him anymore.
Liu Buli was quite confident in himself.
Thinking this far, he gave up on further educating his disciple and turned to You Siqi on the other side. He asked, "The cleanup is done, where is the treasure? Hurry up and lead the way."
You Siqi pouted. He had just finished checking Shen Muzhi's physical condition. After confirming that the latter was indeed unharmed, You Siqi breathed a sigh of relief.
However, looking at the room strewn with corpses, You Siqi ultimately lacked the courage to step forward.
Scratching his hair, he simply pointed at the corpses of the ghost clan in the room and said, "The center of the formation is in this room. If you want to go in, you should at least clean this up a bit, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Muzhi was the first to understand his meaning.
With a wave of his hand, flames scattered from his fingertips. The moment they touched the corpses of the ghost clan, they ignited them one after another.
The flames were extremely hot, capable of turning flesh and bone into ashes upon contact.
When everything around was completely cleared, and without You Siqi needing to say anything further, Liu Buli and the others already saw the incantation etched on the floor in the center of the hall.
Liu Buli's eyes lit up.
In this regard, the author's memory was actually quite reliable.
He stepped forward to examine it, and Lu Wuming naturally followed closely behind him. Shen Muzhi and You Siqi had also intended to follow, but Li Qingcheng, who had been walking at the very back of the group, called out softly. She asked You Siqi, "Um... I don't know if it's just my imagination, but why do I feel like you're very familiar with this place?"
"I'm not familiar with this place; I'm familiar with all places." You Siqi turned back and smiled at her, his eyes shining brilliantly. He said, "Because of my racial talent, I have an innate ability to predict places like secret realms or underground palaces. For example, when I arrive at a place like this, I can sense where the correct route is. It might sound a bit magical, but look, I've already proven myself through my actions, haven't I? Pretty amazing, right?"
Shen Muzhi's expression almost broke when he heard such a blatant lie.
He quickly turned his head and touched his cheek, using his hand as a cover so that Li Qingcheng wouldn't notice the corners of his mouth that were about to turn upwards.
Shen Muzhi felt that he had definitely been poisoned by something called You Siqi.
Because at this moment, hearing the other party's irresponsible statement, he not only felt no dissatisfaction but instead found him incredibly cute, so cute that he couldn't help but want to pull the person into his arms.
He was truly beyond saving.
Perhaps because You Siqi's answer was too candid, Li Qingcheng was instantly taken aback by his answer.
Her gaze towards You Siqi became a little more admiring. Li Qingcheng hesitated and asked, "This kind of thing is indeed very impressive, but such a special bloodline... is it okay to just say it out loud?"
"What could be the problem? Aren't we friends?" You Siqi smiled brilliantly, his gaze towards Li Qingcheng clear and transparent.
It was as if any concealment or lie in front of him would be a form of blasphemy. This, in turn, made Li Qingcheng recall her own reticence about her physical condition, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Clutching the hem of her skirt, Li Qingcheng said, "I, actually, my body also has some special circumstances. I've never told anyone before, and I thought such things shouldn't be spoken of."
"Of course, they shouldn't be spoken of," You Siqi nodded and said, "You only need to tell those you feel are necessary to tell. The rest is irrelevant. I feel that we are fellow travelers, so I need to be a little honest with you. As for how you feel, that's up to you. You don't have to be honest with me just because I'm being honest."
After speaking, You Siqi smiled again, and before Li Qingcheng could say anything else, he pulled Shen Muzhi and ran ahead to catch up with Liu Buli and the others.
Li Qingcheng was still pondering his words, so she didn't chase after them.
After the two had walked a distance, Shen Muzhi quietly asked You Siqi, "You told her that, aren't you afraid she'll spread it?"
"Not afraid, because that's her personality; she doesn't have any close friends." You Siqi's smile faded, and he said, "Besides, it doesn't matter if she spreads it, even if she tells everyone. After all, if I guide you like this, someone will eventually notice something is wrong. And if this news comes out in advance, everyone will just think I'm exceptionally talented and won't have any further thoughts."
At this point, You Siqi paused, then looked back at Shen Muzhi's face. He revealed a brilliant smile again and said, "Perhaps after knowing this kind of news, many people will want me. Then your competitors will be many, are you scared?"
