Chapter 1323: Hard to Let Go

"I know, Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I will keep him for just a day or two so we can have a proper reunion. Once the time is up, I will send him away." Wang Jun hurriedly stood up and said, "The amusement park he wanted to go to while he was alive—I never once took him there."

"Now I want to take him there to play. Even if it's only for half a day, it will fulfill the wish he left unfulfilled in his lifetime."

"Very well." Chen Yu nodded and extended a finger to point at Huihui. A streak of Spiritual Light surged into Huihui's body, and in that instant, Huihui's body became substantial. A moment later, he actually possessed a physical form just like a human.

"Within 24 hours, his body will be no different from a normal person's. He won't fear the sunlight and can eat whatever he likes. Take him and have a good time," Chen Yu said.

"Good, good, thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you." Wang Jun bowed gratefully to Chen Yu.

"Huihui, let's go. Daddy is taking you home. Tomorrow, Daddy will take you to the amusement park. We'll have a great time, and Auntie Xiaoyue will be with us." Wang Jun held his son's hand tightly and would not let go; he was terrified that if he let go, his son would vanish.

Ever since his son passed away, how many days and nights had he dreamed of his son, living together while holding his hand just like in the past? But every time he woke up and realized it was a dream, he felt incomparable despair.

He did not know how many days and nights he had spent in pain and regret. He had been regretting it constantly, thinking that if he had been firmer back then, perhaps this would not have happened.

But regret was, after all, just regret, and there was nothing he could do to change it. Now that he held his son's hand and knew his son was truly and tangibly by his side, he felt at ease.

The family left the place joyfully. After they left, that Lao Gui appeared once again.

"High Immortal, that this child can go to Reincarnation is truly thanks to you. He is still young and doesn't understand too many things in this world." Lao Gui sighed and said, "If you hadn't brought his parents here to resolve his inner knot, he wouldn't have listened."

"And what about you? You have spent quite a long time here, haven't you? What are you waiting for?" Chen Yu glanced at Lao Gui and asked.

"Hehe..." Lao Gui chuckled and said, "I am not waiting for anything. I just happened to obtain a trace of Heavenly Origin Spiritual Power, which allowed me to avoid the suffering of Reincarnation. I have spent my life guarding this world, helping some homeless, wandering lonely ghosts who have nowhere to go for Reincarnation. Consider it accumulating some hidden merit for myself."

"Not bad. You have accumulated a lot of hidden merit for yourself, and now you are qualified to enter Reincarnation again," Chen Yu said. "If you wish to enter Reincarnation again, you will have a very good starting point."

"Thank you, High Immortal, but now... I do not wish to enter Reincarnation anymore," Lao Gui sighed slightly and said.

"You don't wish to enter Reincarnation again? Why?" Chen Yu was startled. This thought of Lao Gui's was something he had never even dreamed of. He had originally assumed that Lao Gui had accumulated so much hidden merit just to enter Reincarnation, but it appeared that was not the case.

"All living beings suffer." Lao Gui sighed slightly and said, "I have been here for sixty years. I have seen partings of life and death, sent off my own loved ones, and felt powerless and helpless."

"They say that humans are the most intelligent of all creatures, but in fact, humans have Seven Emotions. Having seen the partings of life and death, I no longer wish to experience that feeling. Therefore, I do not want to suffer the pain of Reincarnation again. I would rather be a lonely ghost wandering this world," Lao Gui said.

"Why must you do this?" Chen Yu sighed.

"Hehe, having been a ghost for so long, I find being a human uninteresting instead," Lao Gui chuckled and said. "When one is a human, one must deal with the ways of the world, hustle for three meals a day, and toil for a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"Now it is fine. I have no desires and no demands, just a lonely ghost wandering the world. Why wouldn't I be happy with this?" Lao Gui said with a laugh.

"It seems you see things quite clearly now," Chen Yu smiled slightly and said. "But by doing this, will you really not regret it?"

"I will not regret it," Lao Gui shook his head slightly and said. "In this life, I have seen great storms and waves and seen through the human heart. Now, being a lonely ghost and helping some homeless people, I actually feel quite good."

"Good." Chen Yu nodded and said, "Then remember, if one day you wish to enter Reincarnation, remember to find me. Or if you have any matters you cannot resolve yourself, you can also come to me."

"Thank you, High Immortal." Lao Gui bowed deeply to Chen Yu, then turned and slowly vanished from the spot.

"Chen Cong, only now do I realize you are truly amazing. Why do they call you High Immortal? Are you an Immortal?" Liu Ruxi, who was to the side, asked curiously.

"Of course I am not an Immortal," Chen Yu said with a bitter smile. "How can you confuse a Dharma Cultivator with an Immortal?"

"They call you High Immortal, and you seem quite powerful. What is a Dharma Cultivator?" Liu Ruxi asked.

"A Cultivator is a Dharma Cultivator. You can understand it as someone who opposes the Heavenly Dao," Chen Yu said earnestly. "Such people cultivate through their own abilities and communicate with heaven and earth; they are called Dharma Cultivators."

"However, these people possess the Heaven and Earth Might, so in the eyes of these ordinary lonely ghosts, people like us are called High Immortals," Chen Yu explained. "But we are not true Immortals; it is just an honorific they use for us."

"You are quite impressive, too, to be able to make ghosts treat you with such respect. It seems that treating you as a driver was truly a waste of your talent," Liu Ruxi laughed.

"No, not a waste. I am actually just an ordinary person. People like us also need to make a living, don't we?" Chen Yu hurriedly shook his head.

"I don't think so," Liu Ruxi giggled. "Chen Yu, why don't you stop being a driver and teach me how to cultivate?"

"Why would you think of cultivating?" Chen Yu was startled. He looked at Liu Ruxi in surprise. Could this woman have suddenly had an epiphany?

"It's just that I see you are quite powerful as a Dharma Cultivator, so I thought of cultivating too," Liu Ruxi nodded and said. "So teach me, it shouldn't be too hard, right?"

"Cultivation depends first on talent, and second on fate," Chen Yu said. "Therefore, not everyone can cultivate."

"Then tell me the truth—can I cultivate or not?" Liu Ruxi laughed. "You wouldn't say I have poor aptitude and cannot cultivate, would you?"

Chen Yu stared at her for a long time before smiling bitterly: "I suggest you don't cultivate. Really."

"Why?" Liu Ruxi looked at Chen Yu, puzzled. "Do you think I'm not suited for cultivation?"

"That's not it," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "It's not that you aren't suited for cultivation, but there are some things that are not appropriate to tell you right now."
