Chapter 321: Fearful For Ghosts!

“Where do you think you can use it for?” Song Jue was disdainful. He said, “It is just a special phenomenon. It has no particular use. I think the most useful part of it is to scare oneself. It would be rather difficult to scare others. There is barely any cultivator that could be scared by this.”

Song Jue laughed. “Which cultivator doesn’t rise from mountains of dead bodies? Which cultivator hasn’t live through life and death? Who would care about such a stupid thing?”

Ye Xiao wanted to argue, but he didn’t know how to. When he saw those ghosts, he was scared for real. He knew cultivators would never believe something that they had never really seen, since they were all brave and confident. He knew the truth, but he couldn’t argue for it.

“You. You surely won’t be scared by that!” Song Jue’s eyes lit up, and suddenly, he shouted loudly, “AH…! GHOST!!”

And then his face was full of disdain. “I think this would describe how one is scared, right? Were you scared? I take it as a no?”

“AHHH…” Bing-Er exclaimed, “GHOST…!!” She trembled as her chopsticks fell to the floor. She was quivering with her face turning pale…

That shout from Song Jue was scary after all.

Even Ye Xiao had goosebumps hearing it, let alone a girl who was only mentally twelve years old. He wasn’t scared by ghost. Of course, he was scared by the shout of Song Jue itself.

That was even worse than ghosts.

Bing-Er got into Ye Xiao’s arms and she was still trembling. Ye Xiao held her trembling body and looked at Song Jue with anger. “Uncle Song, the ghost didn’t scare anybody. The way you shouted did…”

Song Jue turned a green face, “Cough… My bad. I forgot she is just a little girl. Sorry, girl. I didn’t mean to scare you…”

Bing-Er kept her head on Ye Xiao’s chest and nodded to show understanding. She didn’t let go of Ye Xiao though. She was still holding him. Apparently, she was still scared.

Song Jue seemed to be embarrassed, so he coughed. He tried to find a topic to go on, “In fact, ghosts are just some dead people. We don’t fear them when they were alive. We will chop them in pieces if they dare to mess with us. Since they are dead, what do we fear them for?”

While he was speaking, he became assured and bold like he held justice. “Girl, you have been cultivating with your Brother Xiao for some days. I heard that you improved a lot. Why are you still so timid. I truly don’t understand what you are afraid of…”

Bing-Er said, trembling with a pale face, “I… I am afraid… of ghosts the most…”

Ye Xiao felt disappointed, but he still confidently said, “Truth proves me right. It does have potentials. The way to use it should be improved. That is all. Everything is useful. We just need to find out how!”

Song Jue humphed. “Useful how? It is only allowing people to see ghosts. How is that useful? Can you capture those ghosts for further use?… Ah. Xiao Xiao, why are you asking these questions? Look how you argued for it. You don’t have such a skill, do you? Maybe, you actually are able to… see those things?”

Bing-Er exclaimed again. She looked at Ye Xiao with a scared look. She wouldn’t dare to get close to Ye Xiao if he told her that he could truly see the ghosts.

Ye Xiao was speechless. He knew if he told them the truth, they might leave him, so he said in a deep voice, “Uncle Song, you are making a nonsensical guess. How can I have that skill? Besides, you watch me grow up. How come you don’t know I have such skill if I really do? You said it only happens on kids yourself. Am I a kid to you?”
