Bab 307: Talking about Past Events

"Do you really have such a Sword Ghost? It's rather bizarre."

The Underworld Emperor said, "Call out your Sword Ghost, and let me have a look."

"I haven't developed the Sword Ghost yet," said Jing Jiu.

The Underworld Emperor looked at him with a seeming smile, "You haven't developed the Sword Ghost yet; how do you know your Sword Ghost is different from others' and has to cultivate by itself?"

Jing Jiu said, "I know it's impossible for me to use such a ridiculous reason to deceive you in order to learn the Control of Soul-Fire."

But he didn't have the intention to tell him the truth.

The Underworld Emperor said, "If you don't tell me the truth, I won't help you."

Jing Jiu said, "If Your Majesty were willing to help me, it would be because of another reason, not because I told you a secret."

"Another reason? It can't be the old friendship I had with your Master!"
