You Siqi's deduction brought everyone's tense emotions to a peak.
He himself, after finishing his explanation, added with a chuckle, "But I think we have nothing to worry about right now. If the Ghost King's goal is truly what I suspect, then we don't need to worry about anything. Because Liu Buli knows this best. No matter how good others are to Lu Wuming, Lu Wuming will never truly open his heart to anyone again. A dog is loyal to its master, and it's the kind that only recognizes one master for life. Unless they can find a way to make him lose his memory, the Ghost King's plan will definitely be useless."
You Siqi said this with such calmness.
However, he didn't notice that after he finished his comforting words, the expressions of the others looking at him became even more grim.
You Siqi blinked, pointed at himself, and said, "Did I just say something strange? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Shen Muzhi gave a wry smile and said, "We just suddenly felt that what you said made a lot of sense. If they really managed to find a way to make Lu Wuming lose his memory, and then be good to him while he was in that state, then tell me, what would be the Ghost King's chances of success?"
This question was indeed extremely sharp.
The smile on You Siqi's face faltered for a moment.
Instead, Liu Buli, as the person most concerned about this matter, sighed deeply, stood up, and stretched his limbs. He said, "Right now, it's all just speculation. The specifics will depend on future developments. Even if he forgets me, I have ways to make him remember me. Besides, to be honest, I never thought he would forget. No matter what methods others use, no matter what memories are erased, his love for me has always been out of his instinct, like breathing. It's something absolutely indispensable to him. Do you think he would even forget how to breathe?"
This wasn't Liu Buli defending his foolish disciple. It was just that after experiencing the amnesia caused by the heavenly dao's scheme, Liu Buli realized that the relationship between him and Lu Wuming could not be obstructed by external factors.
Even if all the memories related to the other person were completely wiped clean, wouldn't they still remember the feeling of loving each other? This feeling was irreplaceable by anyone around them. It was like a jigsaw puzzle of the heart missing its most crucial piece; until that piece was found, their attention would not be drawn to anything else in their surroundings.
He had experienced it once himself, and he knew his reaction was like this.
But he knew even more clearly that his foolish disciple's love for him had always been deeper and more profound than his love for Lu Wuming.
From this aspect alone, Lu Wuming would not lose in such a matter.
Since that was the case, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
Having quickly reached a conclusion in his heart, Liu Buli waved his hand and went back to his room to rest.
As for the others, Yun Xiang hadn't understood what they were discussing at all. She looked back foolishly at Ao Lie beside her. Ao Lie shook his head at her and then pulled her to a side guest room.
After everyone else had left, Shen Muzhi looked into You Siqi's eyes.
They stared at each other in silence for a moment. You Siqi awkwardly touched his nose and asked, "What exactly do you want to say? Don't keep staring at me like that; it makes me feel embarrassed."
"No," Shen Muzhi shook his head and said, "I just suddenly feel that you always give us different surprises. Whether this is a shock or a pleasant surprise, it at least gives us something that we could never have thought of on our own."
You Siqi blinked and suddenly burst into laughter. He reached out, put his arms around Shen Muzhi's neck, and gave him a forceful kiss on the cheek. He said, "Do you think I'm mysterious and amazing, and you can't help but fall in love with me all over again?"
"Not exactly," Shen Muzhi embraced him naturally, carrying him towards the room. He kissed the other's lips in return and said gently, "Because I've always loved you; there's no need for 'all over again.'"
Unlike the warm and sweet atmosphere between the other two couples, neither Liu Buli nor Lu Wuming slept soundly that night.
Liu Buli's mind was filled with what You Siqi had said.
One couldn't dwell too deeply on such matters.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized how accurate You Siqi's guess was.
It seemed to have hit the nail on the head in every aspect, forcing him to become more resolute and certain after contemplation.
What made him feel most despairing was that he knew the problem but couldn't think of a solution for the moment.
His situation was slightly different.
Lu Wuming, on the other hand, was simply too excited from the previous contact to sleep.
His master's voice kept echoing in his mind.
Even though he hadn't heard it for so long, hearing it again now, that voice was still as beautiful as ever.
Truly worthy of being his most beloved master!
The more Lu Wuming thought about it, the more excited he became. Despite being given time to heal, he had no intention of resting at all.
Perhaps because he expressed his excitement too clearly, it wasn't long before the voice he disliked appeared from all directions in his palace. He said, "Why are you suddenly so happy? Have you thought of something interesting? Since it's something that makes you so happy, why not share it and let your father share in your happiness too?"
"Because this happiness has nothing to do with you." Lu Wuming rolled his eyes. Having lived here for a while, he had grown accustomed to this omnipresent voice.
After all, the Ghost King's existence was integrated with this palace. Therefore, it was only natural that nothing that happened here could escape the Ghost King's eyes and ears.
Lu Wuming didn't know if this guy ever took a break, but from his observation, he hadn't found any action of his that had escaped the Ghost King's surveillance so far.
However, that was just what he said. He hadn't made any moves to escape. So, even if his daily life was spied upon by the other party, Lu Wuming didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
But now that his master was involved, he couldn't be too direct.
He let out a cold snort and Lu Wuming directly refused to respond.
Unexpectedly, the voice spoke again, saying, "Did you dream of your lover?"
Lu Wuming still did not answer.
However, the other party seemed to have taken his silence as tacit consent.
With a long sigh, as if he were genuinely concerned for Lu Wuming, the voice continued, "My child, he is merely a human. He is not worthy of you at all. He even left you alone here; he never intended to truly save you. For someone like that, giving him your love is an insult to yourself. Wake up sooner. Whatever you desire, I can find it for you. Wasn't Chu San, whom you met that day, quite good? If you wish, I can arrange for you to meet again."
