Liu Buli's eyebrows shot up, his expression on his face incredibly strange.
These people were truly insane.
Knowing that the entire high command of the Sword Sect had been slaughtered, why did they still have the audacity to come and provoke them?
Could it be that they thought by exposing Lu Wuming's atrocities, he would side with the so-called "humans" and help them eliminate Lu Wuming, this monstrous ghost?
What boring and pathetic confidence...
With that thought, Liu Buli glanced at the Grand Elder. Hooking the corner of his lips, he asked, "Do you still remember what I said when we punished those traitors before?"
"Of course, I remember!" The Grand Elder nodded vigorously.
This fellow had always been a person who disliked trouble. He managed his own affairs well and followed Liu Buli's arrangements in other matters.
Therefore, upon hearing Liu Buli's question, he responded without hesitation, "I remember the Sect Master said that this child is not of the ghost race, but of the divine race! I've always remembered this, and I told them. But they didn't listen to me, they said I was spreading heresy. I couldn't beat them, so..."
Liu Buli nodded.
He was very satisfied with the Grand Elder's response.
He glanced at the other person again and stood up, saying, "In the future, you also need to strengthen your cultivation. You are the only elder in our Pill Sect who can get things done. If something happens to you, I won't have a single useful person by my side. So, for the sake of the sect, cultivate well. If you encounter a bottleneck, you can come to me. Things we can't break through in cultivation, we can break through with pills."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder immediately expressed his heartfelt thanks.
Liu Buli waved his hand, signaling him to go and attend to his own matters, and that he didn't need to worry about the commotion at the entrance.
The Grand Elder nodded and withdrew.
After the man left, Lu Wuming, who had been silent for a long time, pouted and said, "Master, there is still me in the sect who can get things done. You actually said there's only the Grand Elder, it truly breaks my heart."
Liu Buli turned around and lightly tapped him on the head, glaring. He said, "What do you mean there's still you who can get things done? You are the one who is holding me back the most! If it weren't for you, I could have left my room two days ago. Do you think I needed to wait until today!?"
Lu Wuming could tell that Liu Buli's current state was clearly one of embarrassed anger.
He chuckled and wrapped his arms around Liu Buli's waist. He gently rubbed his head against the other's neck and said, "Master, you could have come out two days ago. Wuming had already healed your throat injury then. You were just too embarrassed to go out. Besides, even if you didn't go out, haven't you been secretly watching Wuming these past few days? I saw it all, you... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, Liu Buli had stomped hard on Lu Wuming's foot.
He had truly put force into it this time.
Because he was genuinely extremely shy.
Unfortunately, his entire weight was there, and since he hadn't used his spiritual energy, the force of the stomp was limited. It couldn't cause much harm to Lu Wuming.
Lu Wuming narrowed his eyes.
He felt that his Master's action was like a small cat scratching his heart.
Soft and tender, it made his heart flutter with a sweet itch. He reached out to grab Liu Buli again, but the latter had already lifted his leg and walked out. After a few steps, he looked back at Lu Wuming, glared, and said, "What are you still standing there for? They've already come to our doorstep. Do you expect me to handle this alone?"
Lu Wuming chuckled.
He knew that even if he went along, Liu Buli would be the one to resolve the problem in the end.
However, the fact that his Master said this proved that he didn't want to go alone.
He wanted his company, which was a wonderful thing.
Walking with Liu Buli to the sect's entrance, Lu Wuming looked up and saw the dozen or so people outside. They were crowded together, as if standing closer would give them more so-called sense of security.
He let out a scoff and was about to step forward when Liu Buli pushed him, forcing him to take a step back and follow behind Liu Buli.
Liu Buli walked to the front of the crowd, narrowed his eyes, and met the gaze of the Valley Master of the Medicine Master Valley. He smiled and asked, "Your Medicine Master Valley has been at odds with my Pill Sect for so many years. Now you've come to my doorstep to slander my disciple. Do you truly think my Pill Sect has no one left?"
"Of course, that's not what I mean. We came here to remind the Sect Master. When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. We may seem like rivals, but fundamentally, we are of the same origin. Don't just watch our misfortune, or when things develop to your own doorstep, you'll be crying without tears."
The Valley Master of the Medicine Master Valley paused and looked past Liu Buli, towards Lu Wuming behind him. He said, "Your disciple is of the ghost race, and a special kind of ghost. Those who are not of our kind will have different intentions in their hearts. I came here to tell you that if we join forces now, we can at least suppress him. Sect Master Liu, you are not a fool, so don't wait until it's too late and regret it!"
