All the way here, Lu Wuming had already sensed that regarding their previous world and everything that had happened, Liu Buli instinctively felt a sense of "that doesn't belong to me."
It was precisely because of this feeling that whenever Lu Wuming wanted to talk to him properly, Liu Buli would subconsciously refuse, actively changing the subject that made him uncomfortable.
Over time, Lu Wuming grew afraid that bringing it up too often would anger him. So, despite his inner anxiety and worry, he could only proceed at Liu Buli's pace.
Because he couldn't bear to do anything that would displease Liu Buli.
It was like this before, and it would remain so now and in the future.
He had originally been contemplating when he could bring up this topic again, but unexpectedly, Liu Buli had brought it up himself. Lu Wuming was truly overjoyed.
He immediately adopted a docile demeanor, like a big dog. Liu Buli felt that if the other party had a tail, it would have been a blur of wagging by now.
Maintaining this posture, Lu Wuming thought for a moment and began to recount, in his own words, all the events they had experienced together.
He knew his narration might sound uninteresting, and he knew he would never be able to tell stories with the wit and humor of You Siqi. He was simply doing his best, trying very hard to tell his own story.
As for whether Liu Buli would believe what he said, he didn't know.
After finishing his earnest account, by the time the overly long story concluded, the sky outside had already darkened.
Liu Buli had not uttered a single word from beginning to end. Lu Wuming assumed he didn't believe him. He could only look nervously into Liu Buli's eyes after the narration, like a condemned prisoner awaiting his sentence, appearing utterly pathetic in every way.
Liu Buli saw how pathetic he looked and knew the other party was waiting for his comfort and response. However, the story, from any angle, was simply too extraordinary.
He needed time to process and digest it himself.
Before he could understand, he truly couldn't give the other party a definitive answer.
After a moment of quiet silence, Liu Buli finally spoke. Looking into Lu Wuming's eyes, he slowly asked, "According to your account, I ended up here because our attempt to find a way to bring a friend back to our world deviated slightly from our plan?"
Lu Wuming nodded vigorously.
He admitted he was a fool, but at this moment, he was incredibly grateful that his master was such an intelligent being.
Thanks to his master's intelligence, he could understand his rambling narrative. And to arrive at such an accurate conclusion so quickly—this was something only his master could do, no one else.
After silently praising his master, Lu Wuming spoke again, "According to Shen Muzhi and the others, that bird's existence is essentially the Heavenly Dao itself. The stone can indeed be a medium for traversing two worlds, but the Heavenly Dao's original intention was to expel you from our world. That's why none of us had any issues, only you did."
This conclusion was reached after Shen Muzhi and You Siqi discussed it. Although Lu Wuming wanted to participate in their discussion, he was also aware that his intellect wasn't sharp, and even if he participated, he wouldn't be able to offer any substantial help.
As for the conclusion reached by Shen Muzhi and the others, it seemed to be quite accurate.
After all, it was based on that conclusion that Lu Wuming had appeared in this world. At least from this perspective, Shen Muzhi and the others' conclusion was undeniably correct.
Lu Wuming felt he had figured it out.
But for Liu Buli, every piece of this information was too much like a fairy tale.
After another moment of silence, Liu Buli said to Lu Wuming, "But you said that stone can traverse two worlds. Why then do you say I'm merely trapped in my own spiritual world? Perhaps I truly returned to my original world, and you followed me back. How can you prove this is my spiritual world, a false existence?"
Lu Wuming scratched his head.
Shen Muzhi had said so, and he hadn't asked any questions then.
After all, Shen Muzhi was a physician, and in his eyes, a physician's words were always correct. Even though he disliked that physician intensely, he had always admired and respected his professional capabilities. Therefore, how could he have raised such strange questions?
Besides, with his intelligence, he wouldn't have thought of these questions anyway.
Fearing that Liu Buli wouldn't believe him, Lu Wuming quickly explained this reason as well.
Hearing him calmly and naturally admit his own foolishness, Liu Buli couldn't help but chuckle.
For some reason, despite the seemingly flawed answer, coming from the man before him, he didn't feel as much doubt or rejection.
He reached out and ruffled Lu Wuming's hair as a gesture of comfort, then pondered for a moment before continuing to ask, "Did those two friends you mentioned tell you how we can both return to the world you spoke of?"
Lu Wuming blinked.
He thought seriously for a moment, then slowly shook his head. Meeting Liu Buli's questioning gaze, Lu Wuming said, "Because you suddenly fainted, and no matter how I called you, you didn't respond, I couldn't control my emotions. They said if I stayed there, it would affect their thinking and I might even lose control. So they told me to come here to find you first. At least being by your side would calm my mood a bit. As for the method for us to return together, they'll tell me once they've figured it out. Don't worry, since they could send me here, sending us a notification should be quite easy."
Liu Buli blinked.
It seemed this big dog trusted his companions quite a bit.
However, since it didn't involve him doing anything dangerous, playing along with this transmigration game didn't seem so bad.
Liu Buli smiled and finally concluded, "Then, until we find a way, you can stay at my place. Although my salary isn't that high, I can still support two people."
