After Liu Buli finished speaking, he shook his head and was about to turn back and continue walking when Lu Wuming suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand.
Liu Buli froze for a moment and looked up.
He clearly saw that Lu Wuming's eyes were filled with an almost瘋狂 excitement.
His eyes widened as he said, "Master… if you really want Wuming to remember, Wuming has a way, it's just that I don't know if you're willing to try…"
Due to his intense emotions, Lu Wuming even stammered when he spoke.
Liu Buli blinked.
He felt as if he was seeing Lu Wuming again, just like when he first started learning to speak, stuttering as he chased after him calling "Master."
A gentle smile appeared on his face, and Liu Buli asked, "What way? Wuming, tell me about it?"
"It's… it's just…" Lu Wuming hesitated.
He glanced around, making sure no other disciples were present, then secretly took a step forward, leaned close to Liu Buli's ear, and whispered, "I want to become your Dao companion, and let everyone in the world know that we are a couple. Then I'll believe everything you say."
Lu Wuming spoke every word clearly; there was no stuttering in this part.
Who knew how many times he had repeated these words in his mind, repeating them so earnestly that every word was spoken with such sincerity that Liu Buli's cheeks immediately flushed red.
He slapped Lu Wuming's hand away, and Liu Buli, with a flushed face, shook his head. He said, "Wuming, don't joke around! Such things cannot be spoken of carelessly! Do you know that if others were to overhear this now, we would be the disgrace of the entire cultivation world? Perhaps those who have coveted my Pill Sect for a long time would use this as an excuse to attack us, then…"
"I know, endless trouble, unending consequences." Lu Wuming nodded, obediently repeating what Liu Buli wanted to say.
Liu Buli was momentarily choked by his response.
He opened his mouth, and after a long pause, managed to squeeze out a sentence, "You know this, yet you still say it…"
Lu Wuming smiled, "I just wanted to ask, if there were no such implications, would Master be willing to become my Dao companion?"
Liu Buli did not answer.
He turned and walked away, his speed like that of an escapee.
Lu Wuming did not chase after him. He simply watched Liu Buli's retreating back, lost in thought.
After a moment of silence, he curled his lips, making his smile even brighter.
Master, oh Master, he didn't even need an answer.
The blush on his face had already spread to the roots of his ears. He hadn't refused, which meant it was tacit consent, didn't it?
Lu Wuming thought to himself, and then no longer lingered in place. He followed Liu Buli back to their courtyard. As they entered, he glanced around; Liu Buli had already rushed into the room and closed the door.
Lu Wuming narrowed his eyes. In the end, he did not pursue further.
As usual, he closed the courtyard gate, took off his shirt, and began to exercise his muscles under the large tree in the courtyard.
He knew that at this very moment, his Master was secretly watching him from behind the window inside the room.
He could feel the other's presence, and Liu Buli naturally knew this as well. However, neither of them acknowledged it, and it was quite good to pretend not to know.
Sunlight spilled onto his wheat-colored skin, casting a beautiful golden glow. Liu Buli squatted behind the window, swallowing hard.
This was exactly the appearance he liked the most!
With this physique, this appearance, if he were a little taller, he could lift Liu Buli up entirely. Then he could…
No, no, what kind of nonsensical thoughts was he having!
Liu Buli subconsciously covered his mouth.
A voice in his heart urged him not to look, but his eyes, against his will, remained fixed on Lu Wuming in the courtyard.
Truly worthy of being his idol…
There would be no one better in the entire world!
Liu Buli watched like this until Lu Wuming finished his muscle training.
Seeing him wipe away his sweat and put on his clothes, Liu Buli finally calmed his emotions and emerged from the room.
He walked to the table in the center of the courtyard and sat down, clearing his throat. Just as he was about to say something to comment, he saw Lu Wuming smile at him and ask gently, "Master, you've been watching me for so long. In return, can you show me something too? For example… the novels you've written about us?"
