"Are, are you an immortal?"
Zheng Kaixin sat paralysed on the ground, still unable to gather up enough strength to get up, but he was no longer as frightened as earlier. After all, many believed in "bad-looking people do more mischief" and would fall more often for a pretty face than they shouldn't. Zheng Kaixin simply could not relate that face to a ghost.
"Hm?"
Gu Yu was slightly surprised. He had been cultivating here and did not expect to see a child coming out of nowhere.
Looking closely, he saw that the boy came with a barely detectable energy, which was rather similar to the lump of black air troubling Yang Qing, but his was much less corrosive. The energy was compatible and interrelated with the vital energy of his body and had reached a delicate balance.
Recalling the story Jingyi told them earlier that day, he realized this was probably that child that had been infected by the evil energy.
Interesting! Very interesting!
