C113 Past (1/2)

There is indeed an extremely powerful thing in the forest, and it is not only one. As for the origin of that thing, even my master was unclear about it, and on the day that I became a disciple of master, master sternly warned me that even if I am extremely poor, I must guard in this world for the rest of my life.

Hearing the old man say such vague words, my heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the matter was indeed much more complicated than I had imagined.

Tang Rou also widened her eyes and quietly listened. From time to time, she would add some water to the old gramps tea cup. It was already past ten at night and the surroundings were very quiet. I suddenly felt like I was listening to a ghost story.

There are many questions in my mind that I want to ask, but I know that the timing is wrong. As expected, not long after, the old man unhurriedly opened his mouth again.

”What did you see tonight?”

Tang Rou looked at me and I hastily coughed twice. Then, I told her everything that I had seen and heard tonight, especially the change that happened to that strange and rotten corpse.

The ones you woke up were only the small fries, and could be considered as having great luck. Otherwise, even if my master were to take action tonight, it would be difficult to rescue you all.

I didn't think that the old man would actually bring this up on his own accord. I couldn't suppress the anxiety in my heart at once and hurriedly opened my mouth to ask.

”Old Master, I know that the two of us were reckless and destroyed your plans. This matter is troubling you, but I have an unfeeling feeling feeling about it. I hope you can help me answer my questions.”

”Are you talking about the ghost lady who helped you repair the magical formation?”

The old man's eyes were radiating light, as though he could see through my heart at any time. I didn't dare to hide anything and nodded.

”Actually, I already saw that ghost girl's existence, but I realized that ghost came with you and seemed to have no ill intentions towards you, so I didn't interfere. Now, it seems that I didn't kill that ghost girl, but made the right decision instead. From this, I can see that there are many things in this world that you can't force.”

”Thank you for your leniency, old man. The ghost girl and I do have some ties to each other.”

In order to answer the old gramps doubts, I quickly told him about what happened between me and that female ghost. I also mentioned that the female ghost also saved Tang Rou and me from danger several times.

I've been resting here for dozens of years. Although I've never had the chance to leave this place, I know that there are differences between good and evil, and ghosts are the same as well.
