Chapter 6189: Ghosts And Lies
“The path must be walked despite the price. But what if someone else pays the price?” Li Qiye sighed and murmured to himself while gazing at the hills ahead.
“Fe-fellow... Fellow...” Li Xian turned red, unable to address Li Qiye.
“CallYoung Noble then.” Li Qiye smiled.
Li Xian heaved a sigh of relief and said: “Young Noble, what price do you speak of?”
“When igniting someone else’s desire, one’s own is also ignited. Desire is like a beautiful gemstone, the more clarity, the more you want to take a closer look.”
“Desire matters that much?” Li Xian asked.
“Normal people’s desires don’t, but they can be exploited.” Li Qiye answered.
“That makes sense.” Li Xian said.
“When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back at you.” Li Qiye patted Li Xian’s shoulder.
“Then it’s best to not have any?” Li Xian asked.
“Who doesn’t have desires?” Li Qiye chuckled.

Li Qiye shook his head and said: “When a mortal wants to beca monk, that’s desire. Wanting to becan enlightened monk, that’s desire, the sfor seeking Buddhahood.”
“Right.” Li Xian understood the logic.
“Then what should we do if desires are ever-present?” He asked.
“Desire, in and of itself, is not a good or bad thing. It exists regardless of its moral nature.” Li Qiye said.
“And people aren’t made of rocks and stones.” Li Xian murmured.
“As long as there is life, there will be desire. The key is to not be enslaved by them, you must regulate it instead. With enough control, desires will becyour good friends and teachers, driving you forward and propelling your growth.” Li Qiye said.
“Regulation.” Li Xian appreciated the lesson.
“It’s getting dark, let’s go back.” Li Qiye glanced upward and said.
Li Xian stopped thinking and gave chase.

When they were back in Li Qiye’s courtyard, Li Xian was visibly hesitating.
“What’s the matter?” Li Qiye asked.
“Young Noble, our clan... isn’t quite peaceful at night.” He smiled wryly.
“How so?” Li Qiye asked.
“I would say that it’s haunted.” Li Xian answered.
“Is that so?” Li Qiye smiled.
“I don’t know for sure since I can’t find anything. Don’t worry though, you just need to close the door and let it be, it doesn’t harm anyone.” Li Xian said.
“Since how long ago?” Li Qiye seemed interested.
“Not too long.” Li Xian pondered before answering: “A few years or so, certainly not during my childhood. It started at night but wasn’t malicious, more like a ghost playing around.”
“What kind of ghost is it?” Li Qiye stared at him.
Li Qiye’s stare was scarier than a ghost to Li Xian right now.
“Perhaps an ancestor who misses the mortal world, that’s all.” Li Xian smiled wryly.
“It seems rather plausible considering how many of us died since the start of Immortals Slaughtered. Those who still had corpses were buried in the ancestral cemetery so there was a lot of yin energy there. Since I’m the only survivor, my yang energy cannot overcthe yin energy, so having shaunting matters is normal, don’t you think, Young Noble?” He continued.

“That’s exactly it... do you think I’m naive?” Li Xian turned red.
“Not quite because you are all alone, it’s normal for you to miss your seniors and ancestors. Given your circumstances, having ghosts as friends isn’t a bad thing.” Li Qiye smiled.
“When you’re alone, Young Noble, you wouldn’t mind having ghosts as companions?” Li Xian couldn’t help but ask.
“You are a cultivator, do you think ghosts are real?” Li Qiye laughed after hearing this.
“Well...” Li Xian took his tbefore conceding: “Perhaps, perhaps not.”
“If ghosts are real, then there will be more ghosts than people. How many ghosts have you heard of or successfully cultivated? If living people can cultivate, so can them.” Li Qiye said.
“I have heard something special about Primal Yin Immortal Ghost. He’s different.” Li Xian said.
“Remember, there are no true ghosts in this world. If there are, they are lies.” Li Qiye said.
“Lies.” Li Xian thought about it and shook his head: “Young Noble, it’s onlyand the servants here, they are mortals and cannot joke around.”
“Could still be something else other than ghosts.” Li Qiye glanced at the ancestral cemetery over yonder.”
“Hmm, even if this is strickery, we have nothing valuable any longer, what’s the point?” Li Xian said.
“If that’s the case, then let’s just go with your theory, the clan being haunted.” Li Qiye smiled.
“Don’t scarelike that.” Li Xian staggered backward.
“Don’t you want to be right?” Li Qiye smirked.
When it cfrom Li Qiye, it sounded ominous and not just the ancestors coming to play with him.
