If it were at any other time, hearing someone say such a thing to him, Lu Wuming would have unhesitatingly believed them to be utterly mad.
But at this very moment, firstly, it was Shen Muzhi who spoke to him, someone he subconsciously considered a friend.
Secondly, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this place, and from the depths of his mind, he subconsciously affirmed the accuracy of Shen Muzhi's words. Thus, staring at the cliff before him, Lu Wuming did not hesitate much before, holding Liu Buli in his arms, he leaped down.
Seeing his decisive action, Shen Muzhi felt somewhat relieved.
He had initially thought it would take a lot of persuasion to make the other party believe him. It seemed he had overthought it this time. As a friend, Lu Wuming was willing to trust him.
This realization made Shen Muzhi unable to help but feel a little happy.
Carrying the coffin in his hands and looking at the cliff ahead, he finally revealed a faint smile. Shen Muzhi murmured, "Yun Xiang, I don't know if my current choice is right or wrong. But since the Dan Sect has been destroyed, taking you home is not a bad thing. After all, this can be considered a rare pure land in the entire cultivation world. If you and Ao Lie stay here, no one will disturb you."
As his voice faded, Shen Muzhi also followed Lu Wuming's footsteps and leaped down the cliff. When the few of them had come here before, they had indeed destroyed the secret realm here. However, that collapse had only damaged the secret realm itself and had not caused too much impact on the land outside the secret realm where Yun Xiang had once lived.
The situation was not much different from the last time they came. Shen Muzhi carefully inspected his surroundings. Just as he had thought, the place was still as clean and peaceful as ever.
Since people had lived here before, the rooms and beds were still present. Lu Wuming casually chose a room and placed Liu Buli down. Shen Muzhi, on the other hand, placed Yun Xiang's coffin in another spot. Then, he asked Lu Wuming for the red silk and hung bright red ribbons on several of the small houses around and on the trees outside.
By the time Liu Buli opened his eyes again, another five days had passed.
Just like every time before, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Wuming quietly accompanying him.
The other party seemed to have been patiently waiting for him to wake up. As soon as Liu Buli looked at Lu Wuming, Lu Wuming happily smiled at him, reached out to touch Liu Buli's cheek, and said in a gentle and pleasant voice, "Shizun, how do you feel after this sleep? Are you feeling any better?"
Naturally, he felt much better.
Liu Buli let out a long sigh, allowing his condition to recover slightly. Then, he spoke slowly, "If it were before, when my spiritual energy was depleted, my body would be affected. More importantly, I wouldn't be sure if the person who opened their eyes and woke up would still be my soul."
After all, the situation of having one body and two souls had lasted for too long. Thinking about that state, Liu Buli couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.
Thinking back, he had indeed been quite bold before.
Otherwise, knowing that there was another soul in his body, he would still dare to deplete his spiritual energy so easily. Recalling it now, each time was a gamble...
But it was fortunate that in those gambling-like actions, he had never lost.
And now, even if his spiritual energy was completely depleted, he no longer had to worry about not being himself when he opened his eyes. This sense of relief, while perhaps normal to others, was truly something Liu Buli had longed for in the past.
Leaning quietly in Lu Wuming's arms for a while, after recovering from his joy, Liu Buli finally began to carefully examine his surroundings.
From the furnishings in the room, it was clear that this place was definitely not a room in the Dan Sect. And although he initially thought it was an inn, looking at it carefully now, it didn't seem like an inn either.
Liu Buli became somewhat confused for a moment, tugged at Lu Wuming's sleeve, and asked, "Wuming, what is this place? Why did you bring me here?"
This question stumped Lu Wuming.
After all, he hadn't properly asked Shen Muzhi what this place was.
So, after stammering for a while, facing Liu Buli's question, Lu Wuming's final answer was a hesitant, "I don't know what this place is. Shen Muzhi brought me here. But I can feel that this place is somewhat familiar to me, so I must have been here before. Shen Muzhi said it's the only safe place in the entire cultivation world where no one will be disturbed. He also asked me to bring the wedding dress and red silk, and we've been decorating the surroundings these past few days. Shizun, since you're awake, do you want to go out and see? He's almost finished decorating."
Hearing this, Liu Buli also became curious.
His body had recovered quite a bit anyway, and there was no need to stay in the room any longer.
He got up and left the small room with Lu Wuming. The moment he saw the situation outside, Liu Buli understood where this place was.
Just as Lu Wuming had said, the surrounding rooms and trees were already adorned with beautiful and festive red silk. However, even so, for such an important place, he couldn't have forgotten it so easily.
It was indeed not easy for Shen Muzhi to think of bringing them here.
Liu Buli opened his mouth, and finally, he couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. He said, "Wuming, this place is your junior sister's home. I brought her out from here. I once told her that the outside world would be much more interesting than here. I promised her that I could show her different people and let her encounter different things. I could make her life happier and more interesting..."
Liu Buli paused at this point.
Then, with a hint of choked emotion, he said, "But now it seems, it would have been better not to have taken her away back then. Perhaps this is the best place."
