Chapter 6119: Rather Let The World Down Six-style Emperor had seen him before - the owner of Currency Exchange.
“Ah, we meet again.
” He appeared more amiable and ready to do business this time.
She found the current him to be rather different, looking more like a god of wealth ready to give random people golden ingots.
“So soon.
” Li Qiye nonchalantly said.
“You-you’re the lord of Money Temple?
” Six-style asked.
“Ah, yes I am.
” The old man answered with a smile.
She glanced at the statue, thinking that it was somewhat different.
The old man was fatter while the statue had a transcending aura.
A clear similarity was the few stubborn strands of hair both had left.
“You look different.
” She murmured.
“That’s the past versus the present, it’s just me.
” The old man said.
“Do you wish to discard the past?
” Li Qiye said while raising the pendant.
The old man saw it and froze for a second.
He became sentimental and deeply breathed: “The past is now forgotten, only the present remains.
” “Is that so?
No grudges?
” Li Qiye smirked.
“I am the current me, who do I have grudges against?
” The old man shook his head.
“All things have an origin.
” Li Qiye said.
“And forgotten all the same, being a ghost is quite nice.
” The old man said.
“Then why did you go to the battlefield?
Did you want to take a look at yourself?
” Li Qiye asked.
The old man didn’t respond.
“So he’s the third ghost that Armament Temple Lord mentioned.
” Six-style realized.
“Perhaps the fourth.
” Li Qiye remarked.
A brief silence ensued.
“I was wondering how Jiao Heng came up with it.
Now I understand, there was a living example before him so he understood right away.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“He wanted to exchange for something cut down, so the two conspired to sell another.
” The old man said.
“As for you, what did you exchange for?
” Li Qiye asked.
“Nothing.
” The old man responded.
“So the split was only to remove the past?
” Li Qiye asked.
“I don’t need to lie to you, Sir.
If I cared about it, I would have tried to take it back.
” The old man stared at the pendant and said: “This is how it should be, I appreciate my current life.
” Li Qiye glanced at the pendant with nothing inside and nodded: “I suppose you have nothing to do with the past, but in a way, you’re the one imprisoned here while he got everything.
” “That’s his business, not mine, Sir.
” The old man nodded.
“But you knew what he exchanged for so when he returned, you wanted to see him.
” Li Qiye said.
“Just like a stranger, no feeling at all, so this was discarded.
” The old man said.
“You were exchanged for an Immortal Corpseworm.
” Li Qiye said.
The old man had a serious expression for a second before shaking his head: “Still nothing to do with me.
” “Since you two were one, you must have known what he wanted to do and how far he had fallen, scheming to betray the three immortals.
” Li Qiye said.
Six-style gasped after hearing this.
“We are two separate beings, I wouldn’t have discarded this, Sir.
” The old man said.
“I agree.
” Li Qiye stroked his chin: “What I’m interested in is when did you two come up with this idea?
” “The truth is that we knew about the supreme terrors and the outer worlds.
” The old man said: “After all, we were the earliest cultivators to reach the dao, or him.
The relationship wasn’t a master-disciple one like Fire Ancestor, but we were close.
” “I can see that.
” Li Qiye nodded.
“We were the guardians once the three immortals left and also participated in expeditions afterward.
Fire Ancestor’s expedition was rather recent in comparison.
” The old man continued, captivating Six-style with this old story.
“That’s why I thought you were dead, or to be exact, him.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“Not just you, Sir, even the three immortals thought he was dead.
” The old man said.
“But he returned later.
It must have been difficult regaining their trust.
” Li Qiye said.
“The three immortals did not forget Fire Ancestor’s betrayal.
They knew the risk but we were there to mend the hole in their heart.
” The old man said.
“They were still suspicious.
” Li Qiye said.
“We did nothing wrong, only suffered endless agony and nearly died for this world.
” The old man said.
“The three immortals were too kind, they didn’t take action despite being suspicious.
” Li Qiye said.
“Sir, you did a full sweep and wiped out the darkness along with the lurking traitors.
No other problems occurred afterward, so the three immortals didn’t wish to hurt a devoted follower by pressing the issue.
After all, he threw his life away to be a defender.
” The old man said.
“I’m sure you two had no problem with recklessness and sacrifice, but was it to defend this world?
” Li Qiye said.
“At the beginning, yes.
” The old man said.
“I wouldn’t have been so merciful.
” Li Qiye said.
“What would you have done, Sir?
” The old man asked.
“Dig a pit.
” Li Qiye said.
“Sir, you rather let the world down than allow the world to let you down.
” The old man said.
“That’s their business.
” Li Qiye smiled.
“This is where you are different from the three immortals.
They are far more benevolent and care about the world.
” The old man said.
“They stood at the apex for too long and forgot human nature.
” Li Qiye said: “Greed is more frightening than fear.
Fire Ancestor fell to the darkness because of fear, but greed drove you two.
”
