For some reason, seeing the three of them, Ghost Li suddenly felt a sense of closeness, although they were not best friends but with his current state of mind, seeing Zhou YiXian and the rest in the vast sea of people, it was more beautiful than any scenery.
Tanis Ka's stunned expression disappeared in a blink, then with a face full of smiles, he quickly walked over, the bamboo pole in his hand with "Immortal Guide" cloth fluttered in the wind, came to Ghost Li, laughed and said: "Really unexpected, we meet again here."
Ghost Li revealed a faint smile, although it disappeared in a blink, but still said: "Senior please take a seat."
Tanis Ka nodded, sat down without hesitation. The waiter stood at the side, quietly asked: "Are you all together?"
Tanis Ka rolled his eyes at him, said: "Nonsense, if we are not together, can we sit together?"
The waiter nodded repeatedly, said: "Yes, yes, then please take a seat, I will go prepare the dishes, will be back soon."
Tanis Ka laughed non-stop, pulled the waiter over, casually ordered seven or eight dishes, three or four pots of wine, the waiter nodded repeatedly, hurried to prepare.
Tonni at the side was not as happy as her grandpa, on the contrary, her face was dark, quite ugly, especially when Tanis Ka pulled the waiter over to order dishes and wine, she looked even more gloomy, wanted to speak several times, but in the end, after the waiter left, she couldn't help but sneered: "Grandpa, you ordered so many dishes, could it be that you saw your savior here, and want to treat to repay him?"
Tanis Ka's face darkened, angrily said: "Tonni, what nonsense are you talking, what kind of friendship do we have with brother Ghost Li, how can we be compared with these dishes and wine?" Speaking, he turned his head and smiled at Ghost Li, then sighed, shook his head and said: "Look at this HeYang City, after the catastrophe, the people are not what they used to be, none of them are willing to come to fortune-telling, the way of the world is hard..."
Xiao Huan's countenance changed, glanced at Ghost Li and then fiercely stared at Tanis Ka, her face slightly red but Ghost Li seemed not to feel anything, only indifferently said, "Yes, don't worry Elder, I was once taken care of by you for many days, this time take it as my thanks."
Tonni blushed, but Tanis Ka seemed to be pleased, nodded and smiled: "Not bad, not bad, you are worth teaching!"
Wild Dog Taoist looked at Xiao Huan and again at Ghost Li, wanted to speak but stopped.
At this time, the waiter served a few plates of cold dishes and two pots of wine. Tanis Ka took the wine pot and filled everyone's cup, raised his cup and said: "We are all people who roam the world, to be able to meet here, it is really a rare fate, cheers this cup."
After speaking, he raised his head and drained the cup in one gulp and then slightly shook his head, seemed to be satisfied with the taste of the wine. Ghost Li looked at him, the corner of his mouth twitched, not sure if he was smiling but his facial muscles looked extremely stiff, most likely even if he smiled, it would not be shown. He slowly raised his cup, put it to his lips, after a moment, he suddenly sighed, with some helplessness and bitterness, as if what he was holding in his hand, was the most bitter thing in the world, unable to drink it, slowly put it back on the table.
At this moment, Tonni, who was sitting beside Tanis Ka, could not help but poke at Tanis Ka: "What a rare fate, don't know who saw someone's figure from afar on the street, shouted and rushed over, planning to eat for free!"
Tanis Ka's expression did not change, only rolled his eyes at Tonni, said: "Child's babble carries no harm, child's babble carries no harm!"
Ghost Li did not seem to take Xiao Huan's words to heart, he seemed to be absent-minded, deep in thought, Xiao Huan had known him for many years but this was the first time she saw Ghost Li with such an expression, she couldn't help but feel worried, couldn't help but ask Ghost Li, "What's wrong, what's the matter?"
Ghost Li was silent for a moment but did not answer Tonni, instead said to Tanis Ka: "Senior."
Tanis Ka had just poured himself another cup of wine, smiled and said: "What is the matter?"
Ghost Li's eyes looked hollow, quietly said, "I remember ten years ago, when I was still a young man who had just come down from Qing Yun Hill, in this HeYang City, you all once did a fortune-telling for me?"
Tanis Ka, Tonni were surprised, Wild Dog Taoist was puzzled, that old matter, he naturally knew nothing about it. Tanis Ka frowned slightly, thought for a moment, said: "Oh, I still remember some of it, why did you suddenly ask about that matter?"
Speaking till here, his face suddenly revealed a mysterious expression, suppressed his voice and said to Ghost Li, "Don't tell me that after ten years, you still want to say that our fortune-telling was not accurate and intend to get back the fortune-telling money that day?"
"Grandpa!" Tonni scolded Tanis Ka, seemed to be at the end of her patience, pushed Tanis Ka aside, said to Ghost Li: "Ghost Li big brother, do you have anything on your mind, maybe... you can tell me."
Ghost Li glanced at Tonni, the tiredness in his eyes, revealed a rare trace of warmth but he still shook his head lightly, said: "I don't have anything, I just want to ask old mister a few questions."
Tanis Ka tidied his clothes, coughed once, immediately that celestial demeanor gushed out, for a moment this small restaurant hall seemed to be illuminated by his presence, only he reigned supreme.
"Say it." He indifferently said, "With our friendship, there is nothing to hide, but the life money still has to be given." until the end, he disregarded Tonni's flushed face, winked at Ghost Li.
Ghost Li smiled faintly, with some consolation, patted Tonni who was about to explode from the embarrassment, then turned to Tanis Ka, his face revealed a perplexed expression, said: "Senior you roam the world, your knowledge is extraordinary, I have one thing, perplexed in my heart, would like to ask senior: what do you think the purpose of our life is?"
Once the words were spoken, Tonni and Wild Dog Taoist were surprised, looked at Ghost Li with puzzled expressions, Tanis Ka instead frowned, the teasing expression on his face gradually faded, his expression also turned solemn. He didn't immediately answer. Instead, he muttered to himself for a long while before slowly saying, "Your expression is strange, unlike before. Did something unpleasant happen again?"
Ghost Li was silent for a moment, quietly said: "My teacher, teacher's wife, passed away a few days ago."
"Ah!" Tonni and Wild Dog Taoist were shocked, cried out involuntarily, Tanis Ka frowned, sighed, quietly said: "Tian BuYi also passed away, such a pity."
Ghost Li was silent, Tanis Ka slightly closed his eyes, then his expression returned to normal, said: "No wonder you look so sorrowful, just that parting in life and death, is human nature, no one can avoid it, you are an extraordinary person, why must you wallow in it?"
The sorrowful expression on Ghost Li's face deepened, said: "But both of their deaths, it really has something to do with me!"
Tanis Ka faintly said: "Since it is so, what should be returned by you, just return it, why must you torment yourself here?"
Ghost Li was surprised, stammered: "What should be returned by me, what should be returned by me?"
Tanis Ka said: "Let me ask you, when your teacher and teacher's wife passed away, did they hold any grudge against you?"
Ghost Li's head slowly hung down, after a long while slowly said: "No, teacher and teacher's wife's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, until their deaths, they still remembered me, accepted this unfilial and unfilial disciple into their sect …" Towards the end, he was already choking with sobs.
Tonni looked at Ghost Li, unknowingly her eyes also reddened.
Tanis Ka smiled, faint light swirled in his eyes, as if jumping out of this mortal world, saw through the ways of the world, said: "Then let me ask you again, when your teacher and teacher's wife passed away, did they have any remorse?"
Ghost Li hesitated for a moment, slowly shook his head.
Tanis Ka smiled: "That's it, you should be happy for them, dying without regrets, isn't that the best ending for them?"
Ghost Li looked up at Tanis Ka, his lips slightly moved, his expression perplexed.
