You Siqi spoke with anticipation.
He felt that no matter how he looked at it, Liu Buli should not refuse his proposal.
Unfortunately, it was different from what he thought.
Instead, Liu Buli showed a look of confusion, frowned, and asked, "Don't you have that kind of relationship with Shen Muzhi?"
You Siqi didn't understand what kind of relationship he was referring to for a moment.
He froze for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his face immediately turned red. He waved his hands vigorously and said, "How could I be a couple with him? I'm straight, and he's straight. If you're a novel reader, you should know that Shen Muzhi has eight confidantes in the novel, plus a dozen girls he had one-night stands with. Who could be straighter than him? If I were really with him, would I be that sick?"
"You can't say that," Liu Buli shook his head and said, "After all, at this point in time, Shen Muzhi should still be training in the sect. He doesn't have any confidantes now, nor has he had any one-night stands. He's a clean and good prospect. Why can't he have a relationship with you?"
"Because we're both straight, did you selectively ignore that?"
Liu Buli smiled sheepishly, extended a hand to You Siqi, and introduced himself, "Let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Liu Buli. I'm your reader, and I'm also a fanfiction writer for the Lu Liu CP. To be honest, I think you and Shen Muzhi are quite a good match."
You Siqi: ...
He suddenly realized that the scene of shaking hands and making peace with Liu Buli, which he had been looking forward to, was not as happy and natural as he had imagined.
For a moment, he didn't even want to shake hands with Liu Buli.
It was as if shaking hands would be admitting he was gay.
You Siqi was agonizing.
However, he also knew very well that Liu Buli was rare in showing him goodwill now. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he probably wouldn't have another chance.
Gritting his teeth, You Siqi finally broke through his inner barrier and reached out to grab Liu Buli's hand. They shook hands, and You Siqi forced a smile, asking Liu Buli, "Daoist Liu, does this mean you agree to cooperate with me?"
"No," Liu Buli shook his head and then let go of You Siqi's hand. He said, "As I said earlier, I'm a hardcore fan of Lu Wuming. I came to this world to save my male god. I'm living my ideal life now. I have no attachments there, so why should I go back?"
You Siqi was speechless for a moment.
He opened his mouth, thinking that his cooperation with Liu Buli was over. But unexpectedly, Liu Buli paused, then smiled and said to him, "However, considering we're from the same place, it's not impossible for me to keep an eye on things for you."
You Siqi's eyes lit up.
He hadn't expected Daoist Liu to be such a good person!
Liu Buli continued to smile, "Since we're in a cooperative relationship, if you find any methods on your end, remember to tell me."
"Definitely, definitely!" You Siqi was extremely grateful. He shook Liu Buli's hand several times and finally turned to leave, satisfied.
When he opened the door, he found Lu Wuming standing at the entrance.
He was holding a basin of water, and it was unclear how much of their previous conversation he had overheard.
Seeing You Siqi come out, Lu Wuming stepped aside and entered the room. His expression remained unchanged, and he simply closed the door again.
He brought the basin back to Liu Buli's bedside. Before he could speak, Liu Buli asked, "Wuming, you must have heard a lot of my conversation with him just now, right? Ask whatever you want to ask. There's no need to keep it to yourself."
Lu Wuming hadn't expected Liu Buli to be so direct. He tightened his grip on the basin, as if preparing himself, and then finally bit his lip and asked softly, "Master... you asked him for a way back, do you want to go back with him?"
"Of course not," Liu Buli smiled. "I want to ask him how to go back, and then after he goes back, I'll completely destroy that method or path. That way, even if someone wants to send me over, I won't be able to, and I can stay here with you forever."
As Liu Buli spoke, he seemed to recall that scene. He smiled, his eyes crinkling, looking extremely happy.
Lu Wuming finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this answer.
He put down the basin and continued to ask, "Master... and one more thing. Actually, Wuming didn't understand what you meant. You said you wrote something, right? Can Wuming see it?"
Hearing his question, Liu Buli's old face finally turned red.
Although he had already bought Lu Wuming many similar introductory books, having the protagonist's names be theirs was too embarrassing.
Moreover, the content involved blackening, confinement, and all sorts of strange plays. Such things that could easily lead people astray could not be shown to the current Lu Wuming, no matter what.
He coughed lightly and Liu Buli seriously refused, "We'll talk about this later. When the time is right, Master will show it to you."
Lu Wuming immediately smiled happily.
He nodded vigorously and said, "Wuming is really looking forward to Master's writings!"
Liu Buli maintained an embarrassed smile and patted Lu Wuming's head. Then he continued, "I feel like I've recovered enough these past two days, and it's time to return to the Pill Sect. There are still some messes to clean up in the sect, and it's not good to delay for too long."
As he said this, he looked at Lu Wuming again and suddenly found that the young man's expression had become very ugly at some point.
Lu Wuming lowered his head, his expression stiff, and he didn't dare to look into Liu Buli's eyes.
When he had taken people's lives before, he had thought of eliminating threats and strengthening himself. But he had forgotten that after his master returned, he would inevitably face bloody scenes.
What would he do then?
Would his master still tolerate him?
Lu Wuming clenched his fists slightly, his fingers digging into the flesh of his palm, completely unaware.
He was incredibly nervous.
