My Cultivation System

Chapter 60 - Fear Of Ghosts

Saer was totally frightened when he saw Henrick's face and only after running a specific distance, he stopped and once again looked at Henrick.

'No no no...how is it possible?'

The frightened expression on the yellow-haired young man's face increased even more; however, since he was away from Henrick, he didn't run away and anxiously thought in his head while looking at Henrick.

"Huh? What happened to him?"

Henrick, who had just awakened from his unconsciousness and wanted to thank Saer for saving his life; however, he didn't expect Saer to call him a ghost and what's more, he was frightened by just looking at Henrick's face.

"Oh no. Is there something wrong with my face? Is it hideous?"

Henrick thought that his face might have become terrible after being his face slammed into the ground by the demonic cultivator and became anxious.

'Eek eek'

Before he could place his hands on his face to check the injuries on his face, the baby fire monkey jumped into his arms and cried while letting some sounds as though it was saying something.

"Don't worry. I am completely fine,"

Henrick hugged the baby fire monkey and explained that he was fine.

At the same, the muscular young man Rall, who sat on a small boulder raised his brows when he saw his frightened senior brother.

"Huh? Where did he see the ghost?"

Rall already knew that his senior brother Saer feared the ghosts; however, he didn't see any ghosts in the surroundings which made him frown.

"Is he talking about that outer sect disciple?"

Rall muttered to himself as he looked at Henrick. He was unable to see Henrick's face yet and decided to check why his senior brother called him a ghost.

"He is a ghost, Rall,"

Hearing Rall's muttering words, Saer confidently said to Rall.

Rall shook his head as he moved towards Henrick without giving any reply to his senior brother.

"Why is he…."

"Ghost,"

When he saw a muscular young man come towards him, Henrick tried to ask why the previous young man called him ghost and frightened when he saw his face; however, before he could finish his words, the same thing repeated with the muscular young man.

That's right!

Just like the yellow-haired young man, the muscular young man also called him a ghost when he saw Henrick's face; however, he didn't run away from Henrick.

He was just shocked to see Henrick's face and unconsciously took a couple of steps backwards.

"What the heck! Why is everyone calling me a ghost?" 

Henrick was annoyed to be called a 'Ghost' by another young man as he shouted at the muscular young man.

"How are you alive?"

He was shocked only for a second before once again moving towards Henrick as he asked a weird question which made Henrick frown.

He didn't give a reply to Henrick's question; instead, he asked a question of his own.

"Aren't you the ones that saved me from the demonic cultivator?"

Henrick controlled his anger and replied to Rall in a calm tone.

Since they saved his life, he didn't want to be ungrateful. So, he controlled his anger.

"No no, how did you come out of the old cursed building outside the 'Twin fire mountain'?"

Soon, Rall came near to Henrick and touched him to confirm that he was not a spirit or ghost and clearly asked the question this time.

"Huh? How do you know I entered the old cursed building? Wait. Now I get it,"

Henrick was surprised to hear that question because he said no one about entering the old cursed building; however, he got a sudden revelation of who these young men were and why they called him a ghost.

"So, you are the ones that kicked me into the old cursed building,"

Henrick looked at the yellow-haired young man hiding behind the small boulder and peeking at him from time to time and revealed a small smile.

Except for Henrick and the ones that kicked him into the old cursed building no one knows about him entering it. So, when the muscular young man asked about it, Henrick was sure that they were the ones that kicked him into the old cursed building.

"Yes. To be honest, my senior brother kicked you at that time," 

Rall revealed an embarrassed smile on his face as he nodded his head and while pointing his finger at Saer.

"Senior brother Saer, come here. He is not a ghost. So, no need to fear,"

Right after he finished his words, he called Saer to come towards him.

After hearing his junior brother's words, Saer took a couple of steps towards Henrick and Rall before asking, "Yoy are sure, right? because it is impossible to come out of that cursed building."

From his childhood, Saer had some unknown fears towards Ghosts and as for the reason, only he knows; however, he didn't fear hideous beasts or demons and many other different races except for ghosts.

"Why do you fear ghosts so much, senior brother? He is real. Stop being fearful and apologize to him,"

Rall still doesn't understand why his senior brother feared the ghosts even when he was among the top 5 powerful outer sect disciples.

Nevertheless, he was not annoyed or irritated at Saer and asked him to apologize to Henrick.

As for Henrick, he silently watched the conversations between Rall and Saer with a serious expression on his face.

"Do you think, saying sorry is enough?"

As soon as he learned that they were the ones that kicked him into the old cursed building, his previous good impression of them had lost and with a scoff, he asked Rall.

"I know it is not enough as for what my senior brother did to you but I hope you don't resent him. He is already suffering more than enough about this incident for the past few days,"

Rall knew what his senior brother did was a terrible mistake; however, he wanted Henrick to forgive him.
