Wu Er was overjoyed. He stood by the river, gazing intently at the pavilion.
If you were to ask who he cares about most besides his junior brothers and sisters, it would be Kun Wu.
Ever since he started in the small temple, Wu Er has always felt indebted to them.
But just how much is owed?
It seems the debts owed to others are already beyond repayment...
However, no matter how much it is owed, it will have to be repaid sooner or later.
Having seen him today, Wu Er wanted to go up and greet him.
So they went upstream along the river, and perhaps because they were going in the same direction as the river, their steps became lighter.
Upon reaching the pavilion, Wu Er couldn't help but exclaim, "What a coincidence! What are you doing here? I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time!"
In the small pavilion stood a person, whose face was hidden by a cloak.
Although he couldn't see her face, Wu Er knew at a glance that this was the person he was looking for.
However, there was one person standing in the pavilion, and another person guarding outside the pavilion.
"Stop!"
The man was a strong and healthy fellow.
It was none other than the Demon King Niu Lan.
At this time, Wu Er had only met Niu Lan once many years ago, and he did not know her name, so he had no impression of Niu Lan.
Seeing that he had been stopped, Wu Er asked, "Why are you stopping me?"
"What are you going to do?" Noulan asked in return.
Wu Er pointed to the small pavilion and said, "Of course I'm here to see a friend."
"friend?"
Niu Lan first looked back at the pavilion, and then looked carefully at Wu Er.
After thinking for a while, Niu Lan finally spoke: "I remember you. You are His Majesty's friend. He even saved your life back then."
Upon hearing this, Wu Er first cupped his hands and said, "So you were there to help back then. Thank you so much."
After saying that, he asked again, "Can I see you now?"
Seeing that Wu Er was still quite polite, Niu Lan didn't make things difficult for him and her expression softened considerably, but she didn't lower her hand that was blocking him.
"This is not up to me; you must ask my Emperor."
These words made Wu Er anxious, because he really wanted to talk to Kun Wu again.
“This is my friend, you must not stop him.”
Just then, a sound came from the pavilion.
Hearing the voice, Niu Lan lowered his hand and replied, "Yes, sir!"
With no obstacles in sight, Wu Er happily entered the riverside pavilion.
The moment he stepped inside, he couldn't help but exclaim happily, "Long time no see!"
"Long time no see..." the person in the pavilion replied.
After that, the two fell silent.
Kun Wu, hidden in a black cloak, was facing Wu Er, who was naturally also looking at her back.
The air was very quiet at this moment; apart from the sound of flowing water, no other sounds could be heard.
The atmosphere was very awkward, and Wu Er also felt awkward.
I had prepared a lot of things to say when we met, but when we actually met, all I could say was "long time no see."
The atmosphere became awkward for a while. Wu Er didn't speak, but Kun Wu spoke first.
However, he wasn't saying this to Wu Er, but to Niu Lan.
"Marshal Niu, please go around the area and chase away the idlers. I want to have a private talk with my friend."
The meaning of this was quite clear: there were no other idlers left at the small river pavilion. Although they said they were chasing away others, they were actually chasing away Niu Lan.
After thinking it over, Niu Lan naturally understood what was going on. He then accepted the order and left alone, leaving Wu Er and Kun Wu behind.
Seeing that Niu Lan had left, the awkward atmosphere between the two eased up a lot, and Wu Er also thought of something to say.
"Really... I was so embarrassed when we met last time, I didn't even get to say a proper word to you."
At this moment, Wu Er recalled what happened last time.
Even though Wu Er was rescued by Kun Wu and his men after being captured by Fang Tianzhi, he never had a proper conversation with him.
Because of the severe psychological trauma he suffered at the time, he always appeared dazed and confused, no matter who he met.
Kunwu slowly turned around and said, "Really, it's been a long time since we've had a proper conversation."
Wu Er wanted to see Kun Wu's face, but unfortunately it was all covered by the large cloak.
"Your cloak covers you up quite well. If it weren't for that bell ringing, I probably wouldn't have been able to find you."
At this point, Kunwu raised his arm and looked at the golden bell on his wrist, saying, "That's all thanks to it."
He touched the bell with his hand, and then Kunwu pushed down his hood, revealing his face.
Kun Wu is still Kun Wu, his overall appearance hasn't changed, but he's become more dashing than before, even his hairstyle has become more masculine.
Seeing this, Wu Er couldn't help but say, "You're becoming more and more heroic. If you said you were a man, I would believe it!"
The man… The speaker meant no harm, but the listener was moved.
Kunwu smiled and said, "If I were really a man, many things would be much easier."
Although he was smiling when he said this, his tone was full of regret.
Wu Er slapped his mouth, then waved his hand and said, "Don't overthink it. I was just saying it casually. Men and women are both fine."
Although he didn't know why Kun Wu cared about this, Wu Er's words clearly touched on some of Kun Wu's sore spots, so he quickly said those words to apologize.
