Wu Er took the little gray wolf back to the wooden house on Xiaoyuan Peak, put the little gray wolf on the bed, and stretched.

Then he mocked himself, saying, "I really am just like that crazy master, picking up all sorts of things."

His mind drifted back to those events from back then, and to his cheap master.

Every two or three months, they would go out and pick up an orphan.

No.

Wu Er has now also picked up a demon.

In this respect, Wu Er and his cheap master are the same—they are both soft-hearted.

"Ugh, really."

Wu Er sat down and said, "When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. It's true that we're getting old."

After saying that, he pretended to be old and shook his head repeatedly.

"Knock knock knock".

A rhythmic knocking sounded, quite suddenly.

Wu Er, who was pretending to be old, was startled, then stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

"Senior Brother, it's me, Mingmu."

Xiao Mingmu's voice came from outside the door.

"Ah, Mingmu has arrived."

Wu Er naturally opened the door and saw Xiao Mingmu looking somewhat dejected outside.

Xiao Mingmu glanced at Wu Er, then walked into the wooden house and said, "Senior brother, I want to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?"

Wu Erdao.

Xiao Mingmu sniffed and looked at Wu Er, saying, "About the explosion of that cloud boat."

"Huh? This question..."

Regarding the explosion of the cloud boat, Wu Er said, "This was an accident, although it shows that the quality of your cloud boat is too poor."

"That's not what I care about."

Xiao Mingmu sighed again and said, "Senior brother, you should have been able to sense that the cloud boat was about to explode, so why didn't you use your spiritual power to seal off the surrounding area before it exploded?"

"Uh..." Wu Er looked embarrassed and said, "I forgot..."

This isn't a lie; Wu Er really forgot...

Repairing the little gray wolf's soul had taken a toll on my energy, leaving me feeling very tired.

I feel a bit fatigued while driving.

I really didn't have time to react when this happened.

I don't believe it.

Xiao Mingmu shook his head; he couldn't possibly believe such an answer either.

How could a dignified immortal forget?

It must have been deliberately blown up.

Xiao Mingmu took a deep breath and said, "Senior brother, I don't blame you for the explosion of the cloud boat. You said years ago that the design of the Beidou Palace complex was too outdated."

Then, raising his voice again, he said, "If you find it troublesome, just tell me, and I'll arrange a spirit explosion array to help you tear open the entire Big Dipper Palace complex. You won't need to do anything."

After saying that, Xiao Mingmu looked at Wu Er sincerely and said, "Senior brother, just tell me what you want to do, and I'll help you."

"Forehead......"

These words left Wu Er speechless for a moment, and he took a few steps forward, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.

He said, "You... just treat me like your senior brother from before. I'm still the same as I was seven hundred years ago."

"Seriously, you've been under so much pressure these past two hundred years."

Wu Er affectionately patted Xiao Mingmu's head.

This startled Xiao Mingmu, who took several steps back to avoid Wu Er's hand, and then frowned.

He said, "Senior brother, what are you doing?!"

"Let me pat your head."

Wu Er withdrew his hand, then held it up in front of him and said, "Back when you were this tall, I used to touch you all the time."

"I'm not a child anymore."

Xiao Mingmu took two steps back, looking somewhat flustered.

Shaking his head, Xiao Mingmu calmed himself down, his expression returning to normal, and then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Wu Er.

He said, "I hope that Senior Brother will not make such jokes in the future."

"How could it be a joke?"

Wu Er spread his hands and joked, "It's like a senior brother patting his junior brother's head out of affection."

The word "love" was drawn out with a long, drawn-out sound.

It's so good it gives you goosebumps.

Xiao Mingmu twitched his lips, then looked away, refusing to look at Wu Er.

And as he glanced to the side, he happened to see the little gray wolf on the bed.

So he asked, "Senior brother, are you going to keep a pet?"

Wu Er also looked at the little gray wolf on the bed and said, "Him? I rescued him on the way."

"You rescued her on a whim?"

Xiao Mingmu rubbed his hands together, his eyes glazed over, and he started thinking again.

Wu Er continued, "At the time, I saw that his soul had been injured, so I helped him out."

Of course, Wu Er covered up the fact that he had also bumped into the little gray wolf.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Xiao Mingmu's gaze towards the little gray wolf began to change, and he asked, "Senior brother, do you know who injured you, and what kind of background this wolf has?"

"How would I know?" Wu Er shook his head. "I just saved him on a whim. Why are you asking?"

Xiao Mingmu was still staring at the little gray wolf when he said, "I think that since it was Senior Brother who saved the wolf, the person who injured it should pay the price."

"What?"

Wu Er didn't understand the meaning behind Xiao Mingmu's words.

Paying a price?

What are you saying?

Xiao Mingmu reached out his hand towards the little gray wolf on the bed and said, "Why don't I search his soul and see who did it?"

Forehead......

It's just about finding a reason to search the soul.

"That's enough, that's enough."

Wu Er grabbed Xiao Mingmu's outstretched hand and said, "Alright, I knew you came here for what? You were worried about the wolves I brought back."

Then Wu Er scolded again, "Seriously, if you do this, does that mean you'll have to search my soul every time a stranger appears around me?"
