Chapter 13

From the Qiankun bag, Qingye took out a palm-sized octagonal disk and placed it in the center of the room.

As if sensing the aura emanating from the octagonal disk, Xiao Bai, who had been hiding in the corner after being intimidated by Qingye as usual, became increasingly agitated.

Qingye took a step back, sat cross-legged on the tatami floor, and extended two fingers, pointing them at the octagonal disk. Then, a stream of pure yang energy emerged from Qingye's body and shot towards the disk.

The pure yang energy slowly infused the octagonal disk, and as the energy within the disk grew, the once plain and unremarkable disk began to change. The originally somewhat ancient patterns on it suddenly came to life, becoming extraordinarily vivid.

It was as if a black-and-white film had suddenly turned into a colorful one.

As the octagonal disk changed, Xiao Bai became even more agitated, eventually forgetting her fear of Qingye and lunging directly at the disk.

Qingye changed his hand gesture, and the octagonal disk hummed as it floated up, emitting a brilliant light.

The light actively sought out Xiao Bai, pinning her in mid-air.

Gradually, Xiao Bai began to change. First, her elongated tongue gradually shrank and retracted into her mouth.

Her eyes, which had always been filled with blood tears and only had black pupils, slightly regained some whites, though the blood tears still remained.

However, even so, Xiao Bai's appearance looked much better.

"Xiao Bai, from today on, I grant you the name Bai Gui. I hope you will cultivate well and achieve the great path soon," Qingye said solemnly, looking at Xiao Bai, no, Bai Gui.

"Thank you, Master, for enlightening me. However, the resentment in my heart is hard to dispel. I hope Master will help me fulfill my wish," Bai Gui knelt down and bowed deeply, no longer the confused and ignorant self she once was.

As for why Bai Gui suddenly became enlightened, it was entirely due to the octagonal disk.

The octagonal disk was no ordinary object. It was something Qingye had taken from the Asura Ghost Emperor after suppressing him in his previous life, containing the ghostly legacy of the Asura Ghost Emperor.

After receiving the ghostly legacy, Bai Gui, who had been dominated by resentment and had no memory other than her hatred, was able to regain clarity.

However, even so, Bai Gui had only temporarily suppressed her hatred and regained a bit of clarity.

If she could not complete her revenge, her heart would still be dominated by hatred, making it difficult for her to achieve greatness.

At the same time, due to the legacy, Bai Gui's originally ethereal body became more substantial, transforming from a mere ghost that could only manifest into a vengeful spirit capable of briefly materializing and touching objects.

"Since I have promised to help you in your cultivation, I will naturally remove some obstacles for you. Now, tell me how much you remember, especially about your enemies," Qingye asked.

As Bai Gui recounted her story, Qingye learned what had happened.

The story was quite cliché. Bai Gui's father had taken out a high-interest loan and, unable to repay it, was forced to commit suicide.

Bai Gui, who had been living with her father, naturally became the target of the creditors.

Just as the deadline was approaching and the creditors were about to sell Bai Gui into prostitution to repay the debt, she also committed suicide.

However, her resentment could not dissipate. The house where she committed suicide was a place of intense yin energy, and with the help of this yin energy, her resentment condensed, eventually transforming her into a ghost.

Bai Gui had forgotten her name, her father's name, and even the reason why her father had taken out the high-interest loan, as well as why only she and her father lived together.

The only thing she had not forgotten was who her enemies were.

The two enemies who had driven her father and herself to death were faces she would never forget.

Because it was this hatred that had sustained her existence until now.

Qingye, having promised Bai Gui, naturally intended to keep his word.

However, even though Bai Gui could sense the general location of her enemies through the ghostly secret techniques, finding two people in a large city like Tokyo would not be a simple matter.

Life must go on, so after recalling his flying sword and Qiankun bag and helping Bai Gui attach to the octagonal disk, the first thing Qingye did was sleep.

Although staying up all night had no effect on Qingye, he was determined to enjoy life while cultivating, so he naturally took the opportunity to catch up on sleep.

Thus, Qingye lay down and went to sleep.

Bai Gui, who had just regained her sanity, entered the octagonal disk and carefully pondered the ghostly legacy she had just received.

A few hours later, Qingye was awakened from his sleep by a knock on the door.

As Qingye got up, his divine sense had already scanned the area outside the door, discovering that the person knocking was the bespectacled class president, Ishihara Yūma.

Recently, Ishihara Yūma had often chatted with Qingye in class, and the two had become friends.

It must be said that in a completely unfamiliar environment, it is easy for a group of strangers to form friendships.

Although Qingye had memories from his previous life, he also had memories from this life. Moreover, he was not the type of person who believed in the无情天道 and severed all emotions for cultivation, so he naturally did not keep people at a distance in social interactions.

Compared to being cold and unfeeling, Qingye preferred to enjoy life.

"Hey, Qingye, I came to visit," Ishihara Yūma said as soon as Qingye opened the door.

"Why did you come here?" Qingye asked curiously.

"I just happened to be passing by and remembered you live here, so I came to visit," Ishihara Yūma said casually.

However, Qingye could see from his evasive eyes that his purpose for coming was not as simple as he claimed.

Especially when Ishihara Yūma, while being invited into the room, pretended to look around, clearly searching for something.

Then, Ishihara Yūma saw Bai Gui kneeling in the corner of the room and froze, but quickly recovered, pretending not to have seen anything as he sat down on the tatami floor.

However, his momentary loss of composure did not escape Qingye's notice, and Qingye immediately understood what was going on.

After all, Bai Gui was currently in an unmanifested state, and ordinary people could not see her unless they were cultivators like Qingye.

But Ishihara Yūma, who had no aura of a cultivator, had seen the unmanifested Bai Gui.

The most likely explanation was that Ishihara Yūma was a person born with the ability to see ghosts.

No wonder he approached me on the first day of school; he must have seen the ghostly aura I had from being in close contact with Bai Gui.

It seems he must have thought I was possessed by some ghost. No wonder he has been bringing up topics about ghosts in our conversations recently and came to visit today.
