Hearing what he wanted to hear, Lu Wuming's expression finally improved.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze returning to the kitten in You Siqi's arms. He raised an eyebrow and sneered, "It seems Physician Shen isn't as outrageously powerful as rumored. After so long, he still hasn't woken up. I must have overestimated him."
You Siqi had always known that Lu Wuming held a strong opinion of Shen Muzhi. So at this moment, even though he wanted to explain something for Shen Muzhi, he opened his mouth and ultimately remained silent.
Because he couldn't defeat Lu Wuming.
Besides, any explanation would be meaningless.
After all, Shen Muzhi not waking up was a fact, and at least on this point, he hadn't fared better than Lu Wuming, which was evident to all.
With this thought, You Siqi closed his mouth and averted his gaze.
He had originally thought Lu Wuming would go to care for Liu Buli. But to his surprise, after a moment of silence, the other man's attention returned to him.
Hesitating, Lu Wuming asked, "Since you know everything that happens in this world, do you know what Shen Muzhi saw?"
This was a rare instance of Lu Wuming showing interest in another person's affairs.
You Siqi was somewhat surprised, but he also knew Lu Wuming had little patience. Thus, this surprise didn't last long before he honestly answered Lu Wuming, "Actually, I don't know what Shen Muzhi saw in the illusion either."
Lu Wuming raised an eyebrow.
You Siqi continued, "I'm serious. In the novel I wrote, Shen Muzhi should have already met his two confidantes by now. The reason he fell into this place was that he was injured while protecting his confidantes, lost all his spiritual power, and fell off a cliff. So, in the illusion, he saw his confidantes dying tragically without protection. But this time, I've come here, and I can guarantee Shen Muzhi hasn't even met that confidante once. How could the content of the illusion be the same as in the novel?"
Lu Wuming thought about it and found his words quite reasonable.
After all, the plot points You Siqi knew had now become like fairy tales.
He wouldn't be killed by Shen Muzhi, and Liu Buli wouldn't do anything bad to him anymore. If that was the case, You Siqi's knowledge had become useless, just as Liu Buli had said.
Reaching this conclusion, Lu Wuming withdrew his gaze.
To be honest, he wasn't particularly interested in the specifics of Shen Muzhi's illusion. It was just for a moment, he was pondering if this man, called the center of the world, would be as tormented by love as he was when facing illusions.
But then again, what had Master seen?
Lu Wuming walked back to Liu Buli's side, looking at his furrowed brow. Fearing he might disturb him, he didn't dare to reach out and touch him. He only sighed deeply, "Master... please come out soon..."
At the same time, within Liu Buli's illusion, Liu Buli had just managed to take a step back, dodging the sword that was aimed at his eyes.
He looked up and saw a man who looked exactly like him standing not far in front of him, the sword in his hand exuding a chilling glint.
Liu Buli curved his lips into a smile, but the man opposite him spoke first. He said, "Kid, you've occupied my body for so long, it's time you returned it to me."
The smile on Liu Buli's face became even brighter. He said, "Returned? I've used it for so long, it's mine now. Besides, you never showed up, and I really thought you didn't want it anymore."
