Liu Buli was quite sure that Li Qingcheng's last sentence was deliberate!
After all, having been rejected so many times, Li Qingcheng herself no longer had any intention of pursuing him further. Adding such a remark out of the blue was clearly meant to test just how potent Lu Wuming's jealousy could be!
However, for the sake of her own life, she left the spot at the fastest speed possible after speaking.
But Liu Buli couldn't just run away!
Watching his foolish disciple's aura grow heavier and heavier, Liu Buli forced out a smile that wasn't very pleasant. He said to Lu Wuming, "Wuming, let me explain this. It's definitely not what you think."
"What's different? I told you before that woman likes Master. Back then, Master said I was overthinking it." Lu Wuming said with a dark tone, "But now it seems Master knew she liked you, didn't you? Since you knew, why were you so good to her? Doesn't Master understand how attractive he is to others? If you don't understand, does Wuming need to help you understand it properly?"
As a barrage of questions poured out, Liu Buli knew just by listening that his good days were essentially over.
Sighing helplessly in his heart, Liu Buli still tried his best to explain. He said, "I swear, at the beginning, I really didn't know she had those feelings for me. It was only when I went back to save her in the end that I realized she had those intentions towards me. But since I had already gone back, I couldn't just abandon her halfway. After all, one must see a rescue through to the end, so..."
"Then, if that's the case, I'll go kill her now. Master, you wouldn't mind, would you?"
Lu Wuming's words cut off Liu Buli's explanation.
The expression on Liu Buli's face completely shattered.
He knew things would turn out this way.
He had clearly warned that woman, so why did she not cherish her own life so much?
Pouting, Liu Buli's expression was one of helplessness and grievance.
Lu Wuming, who had made the request, stared at him and asked with some confusion, "Master, you're not going to stop me at all?"
At least, in his opinion, he thought Liu Buli would try to persuade him.
However, he didn't expect that in response to his question, Liu Buli would frown with confusion. As if hearing a strange question, Liu Buli scratched his head and said, "Aren't you angry and want to kill someone? Now that I'm complying with your wishes, what are you thinking?"
Lu Wuming didn't know how to answer.
They stared at each other in silence for a moment, and Lu Wuming finally spoke, "I thought you would try to persuade me a little, after all, what I'm doing now isn't the right thing to do."
"I know, but since you also know it's not the right thing to do, yet you really want to do it. This proves that this matter itself is already making you very uncomfortable."
Liu Buli said, "Since it's something that makes you uncomfortable, then you have to find a way to resolve it. Why didn't I dissuade you? Because Li Qingcheng isn't that important to me. Or to be more specific, if one day you absolutely had to kill Shen Muzhi and You Siqi to feel normal and comfortable again, I wouldn't stop you from killing them either. It's just that if they died, I would feel a little sad. But compared to your discomfort, nothing else matters to me."
This answer was quite unexpected.
But thinking about their interactions over the years, Lu Wuming felt that this answer was also within expectations.
When it came to him, his Master was always so without bottom lines.
But it was precisely because he was so without bottom lines that it made him unable to resist wanting to help his Master together, to grasp the chain around his own neck.
He didn't want to become a complete lunatic.
Because if he became like that, Master would be very unhappy too...
With that thought, the expression on Lu Wuming's face completely returned to normal.
He smiled at Liu Buli and reached out to embrace him.
Rubbing his neck against the other's, Lu Wuming said, "Master, Wuming has persuaded himself to be good again, so Wuming wants a reward."
He said this in such a well-behaved and cute manner.
Liu Buli's heart stirred, and he happily reached out to rub Lu Wuming's head. His lips touched the other's ear, and he murmured, "When we get home, I'll give you your reward. But you have to carry me on the way back. When you can get your reward will depend on your own performance, okay?"
This sentence was the last straw that ignited the fire in Lu Wuming's heart.
The man's eyes immediately turned blood red, like a beast that had lost its reason. Although his expression looked wild, his movements when holding Liu Buli were incredibly gentle.
Liu Buli leaned into his embrace with satisfaction, letting him carry him back to the sect. When they entered the room, Lu Wuming immediately set up a barrier, isolating their bedroom and everything around it.
Liu Buli knew this meant his dog was about to go mad.
But since it was his own dog, it would only bite him when it went mad. Thinking about this, he inexplicably felt a sense of pride.
So, he hooked his lips and patted Lu Wuming's shoulder. Making the other look into his eyes, he smiled and said, "Wuming, Master is yours. No matter when, he is only yours. So you don't need to be so anxious, take your time. We still have a lot of time."
He said this, but how could a rabid dog that had entered a state of frenzy give him the chance to take his time?
For the next few days, Liu Buli kept regretting the last few words he had spoken.
But Lu Wuming had no intention of letting him go.
Just as he said, they had a lot of time.
At least until his dog was full, he wouldn't be leaving this room.
