Chapter 163 I Will Not Force You

Shen Muzhi blinked.

Reason told him that Lu Wuming's words seemed a little off.

But looking at Lu Wuming's smug expression, he felt that there was some truth to it.

Being kicked out of the room must mean he was very strong.

This was a matter of male pride, and if he hadn't tried a few times, it was indeed hard to justify.

Shen Muzhi touched his chin and squinted at his side.

The meaning in his gaze was too clear, startling You Siqi, who immediately jumped up and said, "Don't listen to him! What's there to brag about in this kind of thing! Go ask Daoist Master Liu if you don't believe me, he'll definitely not be happy at all!"

However, this time, Shen Muzhi didn't need to respond.

Lu Wuming had already let out a scoff. He said, "Who told you my master wasn't happy? My master was almost overjoyed. Do you know how he held me and wouldn't let go? The only reason I'm here is because my master is a little shy, nothing else."

He said it very frankly and very seriously.

As if the matter was indeed as he said, brooking no argument.

You Siqi really wanted to point at Lu Wuming and tell Shen Muzhi that believing such nonsense was foolish!

Unfortunately, years of fear prevented him from actually doing so.

So, he could only watch as Shen Muzhi took a step forward, looked at Lu Wuming with admiration, and then said earnestly, "It seems I still have a lot to learn from Brother Lu in this regard."

You Siqi was dumbfounded.

They were already calling each other brothers?

Did male friendships develop this quickly? He no longer believed Shen Muzhi was a pure and gentle innocent!

Hearing Shen Muzhi's words, Lu Wuming, who was in a good mood, naturally gave him a rare pleasant look. He took a book out of his Qiankun bag and handed it to Shen Muzhi. Lu Wuming said, "This is that secret manual. If you want to try, find another room to try in, don't disturb my master's rest."

Shen Muzhi gratefully accepted it immediately.

His eyes were filled with fervor, but as he pulled You Siqi away, Shen Muzhi still remembered to remind him, "By the way, did your master tell you that the magical treasures in the surrounding rooms are all fake? If you touch them, the entire underground palace might collapse?"

Lu Wuming shook his head.

After his master entered, he had immediately gagged him. Later, even after he untied the silk, his master had lost the ability to do anything serious. Therefore, such trivial matters were naturally not explained to him.

Glancing at Shen Muzhi ahead, Lu Wuming waved his hand. Yawning, he said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in magical treasures. Master is my greatest treasure. When he is by my side, I will protect him. When he is not by my side, I will wait for him to come out. As for the rest, do you think they are worthy of my attention?"

Very good, this answer was so very Lu Wuming.

Shen Muzhi's mouth twitched. He felt that he was truly foolish for asking such a question.

Waving his hand to signal that he was wrong, Shen Muzhi pulled You Siqi to another room that contained the secret manual.

As soon as they entered, a barrier was set up.

You Siqi naturally knew what he wanted to do, and he took a step back in fright. He earnestly advised, "Muzhi, although I promised you we could do anything, don't you think this is progressing a bit too fast? I'm not mentally prepared, and if you just do this, I can't accept it..."

He said it very seriously, and the panic on his face was not fake.

His body trembled involuntarily, and his gaze at Shen Muzhi was like a rabbit looking at a lion.

Even if there were ten thousand sparks of desire in his heart, seeing the other party's reaction, they were all extinguished.

Shen Muzhi sighed.

Shaking his head, he said, "Don't worry so much. It's our first time, after all. I wouldn't choose a place like this. I only brought you in to look at the cultivation techniques together. If you want to try, we'll try. If you don't want to try, I won't force you. This is what I promised you, what else do you have to be afraid of?"
