This answer was so in character for Lu Wuming.
Liu Buli was stunned, his lips twitching slightly. He wanted to lecture Lu Wuming, but seeing the extreme depth in Lu Wuming's eyes, the words on the tip of his tongue hesitated, and he swallowed them back.
Fine, this kid's personality hadn't changed in a day or two.
Even if he wanted him to change, it was probably impossible. Besides, it was Lu Wuming himself who had said he liked that kind of obsessive and crazy love, which was why Lu Wuming had made himself like this. So, if one were to talk about right and wrong, the origin should be his own mistake, which had led his little disciple to become like this.
Therefore, no matter the situation, he shouldn't blame Lu Wuming.
Liu Buli thought seriously for a moment and found a reasonable explanation for Lu Wuming. When he looked at Lu Wuming's eyes again, he even felt that the obsessive and crazy emotion was quite cute.
He reached out and stroked Lu Wuming's head, saying nothing more. He simply held Lu Wuming's hand and continued to walk forward. As they passed the demon beast's corpse, he thought for a moment, dug out the demon beast's inner core, and said to Shen Muzhi behind him, "Physician Shen, since we can both transform into beasts, will this thing be useful to you?"
Shen Muzhi shook his head.
He was a divine beast, his body filled with pure and clean spiritual energy.
The one Lu Wuming had just killed was clearly a demon beast. Their origins were different. If he were to devour the demon beast's inner core, it would not only bring him no benefit, but it would also easily cause him to go mad.
Shen Muzhi understood the principle of not biting off more than one could chew.
Moreover, not only that, but sensing Lu Wuming's murderous gaze beside him, Shen Muzhi earnestly added to Liu Buli, "Daoist Liu, you don't need to ask me if I need these good things. Apart from that dual cultivation manual, I don't need anything else. You can keep it."
He was very sure that no matter what it was, if he dared to say he needed it, Lu Wuming would immediately come to fight him.
And he was also very sure that he would definitely lose to Lu Wuming.
It wasn't just a matter of his cultivation. If it were purely about cultivation and spiritual energy, he and Lu Wuming should have been able to maintain a comparable state.
But the problem was that Lu Wuming was immortal.
Shen Muzhi was not foolish enough to challenge a ghost who wouldn't die even if he were cut into pieces with his mortal body.
Hearing his tactful words, Lu Wuming finally showed a satisfied expression. Liu Buli didn't think much of it and simply pulled Lu Wuming forward to clear the path.
The path was narrow and long. Apart from the first demon beast, they encountered many other monsters along the way.
However, there was no need for anyone else to act. Lu Wuming handled them all by himself. When the path reached its end, they looked up and saw a heavy iron gate standing there.
Lu Wuming stepped forward to push the door.
Liu Buli, however, raised his hand and stopped him.
He pointed ahead and said, "If I remember correctly, behind the door is an illusion. After you enter, you will see what you fear the most. But don't worry, it's all fake."
This was the benefit of remembering the script.
Liu Buli was extremely grateful for his diligence when reading the novel back then.
Lu Wuming shrugged.
He didn't think he had anything to fear.
He pushed the door and entered, walking with a decisive and straightforward manner, without hesitation.
Shen Muzhi was still lying in You Siqi's arms. Seeing that both Liu Buli and Lu Wuming had entered, he looked up at You Siqi and said, "In the novel, was this also a test for me?"
You Siqi nodded.
Shen Muzhi chuckled, "Then what is the thing I fear the most? Why can't I think of it?"
You Siqi pouted.
His expression was indescribably complex. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You'd better go in and see for yourself."
