"You don't need to say anything more." Feng Guang lowered his head. "I understand."
She suddenly remembered that day when she asked him why he was injured. His answer was that he was going to deal with a dangerous person and was accidentally injured. Chi Xuan once said that she had set up a spell to hurt people on the mountain. Perhaps she did it unintentionally. Mo Qing... or perhaps it should be Mo Qing, was injured when he went up the mountain. He also said that the person was dead, but not killed by him. Yes, Feng Guang was dead, died three hundred years ago.
She had always thought his interests were wood carving and herbs, but she seemed to be wrong. Those wood carvings could suppress ghosts, but they were useless against her. Those herbs... were probably meant to heal his physical injuries. She didn't know why, knowing that she was a ghost and that everything was an illusion she created, Mo Qing would still be willing to stay on Black Wind Mountain for so long.
“He came to exorcise ghosts, yet he spent so much time with Feng Guang on Black Wind Mountain. Perhaps…” Qiu Shi smiled, arms crossed, his white robes fluttering in the wind and snow, “he was looking for a way to kill you?”
Her body trembled slightly, but her expression remained unwavering. "I believe him."
"Feng Guang trusted him so much, but now that you're trapped inside the Immortal Sect, where is he?" Qiu Shi chuckled lightly. "He probably knows that as the top disciple of the Immortal Sect, being entangled with a female ghost will surely cause a huge uproar."
“He’s not like that! He said he likes me, and he told me to wait for him to come back. As long as he comes back, we will get married…” Feng Guang looked up at the man, her beautiful eyes sparkling with light, like moonlight refracted through the rain and mist, just like her, bright and clear, yet always attracting his full attention unintentionally.
Qiu Shi's smile faded, her eyes lowered, and he reached out to wipe her eyes, his voice hoarse, "Why be sad? He's gone, but I'm still here with you."
She pushed his hand away and bit her lip, saying, "I'm not sad."
"Do you know... why he won't come looking for you?" Qiu Shi lowered her hand, and her smile returned, tinged with a hint of melancholy.
She paused, then asked, "Why?"
"As a wandering ghost, you will unconsciously absorb the spiritual energy around you to maintain your human appearance. Therefore, the once beautiful Black Wind Mountain will become a barren mountain in the past three hundred years. This means that no matter who you are, if you spend too much time with them, they will have their life essence absorbed by you, and eventually they will die from weakness."
She was stunned when she first heard those words.
“I know you never intended to harm anyone,” he whispered. “But that’s an unchangeable fact about you being a ghost. Three hundred years is indeed too long for you. You’ve forgotten a lot, and you’ve also created a lot. Glory, you’re too lonely, so you’ll never realize how fake everything around you really is…”
She suddenly asked calmly, "And what about you?"
"What?"
"Are you just an illusion I created because of my loneliness?"
He smiled and said, "If thinking this way makes you less resistant to me, then you can think this way."
She wasn't in the mood for jokes or banter. "Why do you know so much?"
“Naturally, it’s because I have this ability.” Qiu Shi waved his hand, and the surface of the Linglong Pool suddenly became like a screen, showing the bustling scene of the capital’s streets, with even pedestrians clearly visible. He looked down at her and smiled gently, “Because I am more lonely than the glory.”
