Chapter 6121: It Is Mine
Water and Fog Emissary had the same origin - Xian Baihui. However, Fog didnât have memories while Water did.
âWhat were the details of the transaction back then?â Six-style Emperor murmured.
âDepending on the perspective, could be viewed as hard or easy. It did require immense determination and preparation to start over again. Conjure a dao avatar and infuse the grand dao and fortunes for the exchange via the loophole, allowing the true body to escape. They didnât come up with this method.â Li Qiye elaborated while staring at the bald old man.
She knew the old man was only a dao avatar as well.
âWhat was Jiao Hengâs role in this?â She asked.
Fog and Water snorted at the same time.
âDonât be mad at him, he found the method and you were willing. Of course, he did mess around and help the true body reach the apex quickly. Who you actually hate is Baihui for abandoning you here.â Li Qiye said.
âHating himself...â Six-style murmured. Although this sounded strange, it applied to this situation.
âEveryone hates themselves at times.â The bald old man said sentimentally: âOnly by killing the past would one be a good ghost. Thatâs how it should be.â
âIs that why you donât hate your true body?â Li Qiye asked.
âI am me, the true body.â The old man said.
âYou are enlightened then compared to Water Emissary, which is also why you are so much stronger.â Li Qiye said.
âWas this worth it?â Six-style asked.
âDepends on who you ask. Baihui and Jiao Heng were certainly best friends, which was why Baihui sold himself for Jiao Hengâs desired item.â Li Qiye said.
After a brief silence, Fog smiled bitterly and said: âJust a ghost indeed.â
He did everything with Jiao Heng to escape the exchange. Now, he was subjected to the same fate. This seemed like the machination of fate.
âStill want to? Fine, since weâre all emissaries and you two used to be the same, Iâll make the price the same as the original amount.â The old man smiled.
Water didnât stop Fog this time.
âI donât want to anymore. Since Iâm a ghost, Iâll be a good ghost.â Fog sighed.
âDo you think thatâs enough to make up for your mistakes?â Water sneered.
âEven if you didnât replace me then, we were as one, so both of us would have been trapped here.â Fog said.
Water couldnât argue with this logic.
âI have accepted my fate as a ghost, so this is yours. You can redeem it if you wish, or I can redeem it for you.â Fog said with sincerity.
Six-style thought Baihuiâs true body had accepted the consequences of his action and wanted to make it up for the dao avatar.
âVery well, I will keep this here for now. Either of you can redeem it later.â The old man put the pendant away.
Fog and Water stood there in silence.
âWould you allow your true body to make it up for you?â Six-style couldnât help but ask the old man.
He shrugged and said: âUnfortunately, he wonât have the opportunity. Itâs all gone so whatâs there to redeem? Moreover, he had never thought about it either, no repentance or redemption.â
