As they were of the same kind, even though the other party did not announce their name, Lu Wuming knew very well what those hidden things in the darkness were.
With a cold laugh, Lu Wuming narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't understand what you're saying, but my master told me. The Ghost Clan are all my enemies, so since you've come, be prepared to die."
The moment the words fell, Lu Wuming suddenly drew his sword and attacked the darkness. As fellow members of the Ghost Clan, he naturally knew the characteristics of this dirty race.
They loved darkness, and they were accustomed to hiding in it.
Therefore, at such a time, even if he saw nothing, as long as he attacked the darkest corner of the room, he would hit the target nine times out of ten.
And the situation was exactly as he had predicted. As his long sword approached the darkness, he heard a crisp "clang."
A claw extended from the darkness, blocking Lu Wuming's long sword.
Before he could attack again, Lu Wuming heard the voice speak again. He said, "Young Master, your emotional fluctuations are too great right now. I won't disturb you for the time being. But remember, His Majesty misses you very much. Even if you mingle among humans, it doesn't change the fact that you are ultimately of the Ghost Clan. Don't tell anyone about my visit. When the time is right and you've thought it through, we will come to welcome you back to Ghost City at any time."
As the voice ended, Lu Wuming clearly felt that the oppressive and disgusting aura in the room had also completely dissipated.
This proved that the ghost who had spoken to him had left.
Although he didn't understand most of what the other party said, he did understand one thing—
The ghost did not want him to tell anyone about his visit.
But why shouldn't he tell?
Lu Wuming sneered.
His master had taught him long ago that the most basic requirement for two people in love and companionship was mutual trust and no secrets.
His master had never hidden anything from him, so he should naturally give his master the same trust.
In any case, he had remembered everything the ghost had said, even if he didn't understand it. When his master returned, he would definitely explain it clearly to his master, and he would absolutely not hide anything!
Lu Wuming thought to himself, feeling increasingly well-behaved.
If things continued at this pace, perhaps he could earn some pleasing rewards today?
However, things did not develop as he had imagined. By the time his master returned, the sky outside had completely darkened.
Lu Wuming sat obediently in the courtyard like a waiting statue, staring in the direction of the courtyard gate.
His master had told him not to go out, so he wouldn't.
Since his master would always return, it was just a matter of waiting a little longer. He would wait patiently.
When Liu Buli pushed open the courtyard gate, he saw Lu Wuming waiting for him with eager eyes.
Their gazes met, and Lu Wuming immediately smiled. He didn't question why his master had returned so late, but simply called out sweetly, "Master, you're finally back."
Hearing his almost coquettish greeting, Liu Buli felt a pang of guilt.
He had originally intended to sneak off to another courtyard with Shen Muzhi and the others to avoid disturbing Lu Wuming, but now, seeing Lu Wuming's appearance, he felt like a husband sneaking around behind his wife's back, suddenly experiencing a strong sense of guilt.
He raised his hand and touched his nose, trying to ease the awkwardness on his face. Liu Buli comforted himself, thinking that this must be an illusion, and besides, he hadn't done anything to betray Lu Wuming.
Thinking this, he walked a few steps to Lu Wuming's side. He looked down at the other's face and said, "Didn't I tell you to meditate and cultivate here while I was away? Why are you just waiting for me without doing anything? Waiting for so long, aren't you bored?"
Lu Wuming shook his head vigorously.
Waiting for his master to come home was a happy thing.
How could he feel bored?
Seeing Lu Wuming's innocent and pure expression, Liu Buli couldn't help but press his temples.
If there was such a thing as one thing conquering another in this world, he could be sure that Lu Wuming was definitely the one who could subdue him.
For instance, at this very moment, with just a simple glance, Liu Buli found that his heart had already completely tilted towards Lu Wuming. Even if he had any intention of deceiving the other party, his heart would absolutely not agree.
With this thought, Liu Buli simply gave up struggling.
He reached out and ruffled Lu Wuming's hair, and Liu Buli asked, "Wuming, do you know where Master went today?"
"Didn't you go to see your junior sister?" Lu Wuming blinked and answered very promptly.
Liu Buli smiled helplessly, "Didn't you ever think that just seeing your junior sister wouldn't take so long?"
Hearing this, Lu Wuming also became a little confused.
He hadn't considered such questions before. After all, as long as his master said it, he would just listen. As for how long it took to do something, he had no concept of it. As long as his master returned, it was fine.
Seeing his foolish appearance, Liu Buli knew what he was thinking. With a helpless sigh, he pressed his temples and said to himself, "Today, besides seeing your junior sister, I also went to Shen Muzhi's place. The cultivation technique he used when he fought with you, he said he would teach it to me, so I went to learn it."
Lu Wuming thought for a moment and let out a soft "Oh."
Seeing that he had no further reaction, Liu Buli smiled and said, "I thought you would be a little unhappy when you heard I went to Shen Muzhi's place."
"I am a little unhappy," Lu Wuming shook his head and said, "but that cultivation technique is indeed very beautiful. I think it suits Master very well, so it's good that you learned it. Wuming won't be sulky with Master because of this."
He said it very seriously.
Liu Buli became even happier.
His Wuming had grown up and no longer did things like being jealous over nothing, which made him even happier.
However, before Liu Buli could feel relieved for long, he heard Lu Wuming mumble and continue, "Besides, it's a good thing Master came back late today. Before you returned, some annoying people came to our house. If Master saw them, it would have tainted your eyes."
