Chapter 6069: I Actually Donât Know
Li Qiye left the currency exchange and went to an empty spot, taking out the ghost coin given to him by the fog-shrouded ghost.
âCome out now, I hire you for one hundred million ghost coins.â Li Qiye tossed the coin into the air while playing with his filled pouch.
âClank!â The coin was caught before it touched the ground by a gathering of fog.
âYou wish to hire me, Sir?â The fog materialized into the ghost who bowed to Li Qiye.
âIsnât this what you want?â Li Qiye smiled.
âThank you, Sir.â The ghost accepted the pouch of coins and said: âI believe our karma intertwines.â
âThe outcome of this depends on you.â Li Qiye said.
âIt is enough now with the hiring, we will be able to figure this out.â The ghost said confidently.
âSeems like you already know something.â Li Qiye said.
âTruthfully, not yet, but intuition is calling me.â The ghost shook his head.
âFine, now that youâre hired, state who you are.â Li Qiye waved his hand.
âSir, I am the fog emissary.â The ghost revealed his role. [1]
âYouâre one of the five emissaries?â Six-style thought that his appearance was a match for this role.
âYes.â The ghost said.
âWhat are the emissariesâ responsibilities?â Li Qiye asked.
âWe do not have any outside of inheriting one law from the major ghost market.â The ghost said.
âDoes that allow you to live longer and better?â Li Qiye asked.
âClank! Clank! Clank!â He tossed the pouch into the air.
âSplash!â A river appeared before them with a wooden bridge that could take passengers to the other shore.
Fog Emissary brought the duo to the bridge. Someone appeared amidst the water and smiled: âDid you drop something, perhaps this golden axe? Or this silver one?â
He took out a golden and a silver axe.
âItâs you!â Six-style recognized him - the first ghost they met in the market who offered them sweet soup. She was surprised because this random ghost turned out to be an emissary.
âLong time no see, Brother Water.â Fog Emissary greeted him.
âNope, nope, itâs best not to see you. Nothing good can come from this.â Water Emissary shook his head.
âSo you know him well?â Li Qiye chuckled.
âHehe, he always wants to find his past self.â Water Emissary said.
âSo you know what weâre looking for.â Fog Emissary jumped in.
âI know less than you who have been spying everywhere.â Water Emissary shook his head.
âWell, I found out that youâre the oldest of the five of us, so thereâs nothing regarding the market you donât know.â Fog Emissary didnât want to waste the summon.
âHaha, how kind of you to tell Sir to summon me for an interrogation. Is it for his business or yours?â Water Emissary laughed, prompting Fog Emissary to give him a dirty glare.
âGo ahead and tell us what you know.â Li Qiye stroked his chin and smirked.
âSir, I am just an underwater ghost, I see and hear nothing of other matters. Fog knows more than I do.â Water Emissary feigned innocence.
âMaybe I should keep you underwater, permanently.â Li Qiye smiled.
âNo, please donât!â Water Emissary became startled and waved his hands repeatedly, thinking about jumping onto the bridge.
