Li Xiang the Immortal
31 - Teachers And Students

"Something can change depending on the answer you give."

The current Xiao Xing Fu did not see how Li Xiang was showing the expression. But he knew that Li Xiang was being serious. His teacher called his name for the first time.

"You're not kidding me!" Xiao Xing Fu. He could not believe that his teacher had killed people in the village. But his mind says something else. Why was it that at the time, Li Xiang was there? Is it just a coincidence? Or is there something else?

"Do you think I'm kidding? Seriously, answer me. If I were the culprit, would you still take revenge for them or would you forget about it? If you're still siding with both of your foster parents, then you'll be fighting me for revenge. Then if you side with me, then you've betrayed both your foster parents and all the people in Yunxu village."

Xiao Xing Fu was speechless when he heard his teacher's words. Li Xiang gave her a difficult choice. On one side he sided with both of his adoptive parents. But on the other hand, he sided with Li Xiang. He cannot choose between the two. "I believe you're not the culprit." Say it slowly.

"Then, why do you think I was in Yunxu village when it happened? Is it just a coincidence? Or is there something I'm doing? You never asked me that."

"You must have just happened to be there when it happened! Because if you were the culprit, why did you save me back then?! If you were the culprit, you should have killed everyone without exception!" Said Xiao Xing Fu with a slight snarl. He doesn't like the atmosphere at the moment. It's very uncomfortable. He did not like this feeling. The feeling of being made doubtful by his own answer.

Li Xiang suddenly appeared right in front of Xiao Xing Fu, to the surprise of the boy. He did not realize when Li Xiang could be before him like this. He was silent with a difficult look.

Li Xiang stood up with the face he brought closer to Xiao Xing Fu who was sitting leaning against a tree. His voice is really serious. He smiled, "Who saved you?"

"-you mean?" Xiao Xing Fu said nervously and hesitantly.

"Are you sure I really saved you?" Li Xiang smiled obliquely with one eyebrow that he raised upwards.

Xiao Xing Fu was made silent by Li Xiang's remark. Whatdoes thatmean? He doesn't understand at all. It was obvious Li Xiang saved him back then. If his teacher had not saved him, then he was already dead by now. "J-if you hadn't saved me back then, I-I'd be dead by now."

"You sure you're really alive? You sure you're still human?"

Xiao Xing Fu was made even more clueless by Li Xiang's words. He swallowed his saliva. The air around him was cold to him. "What..you mean?"

Li Xiang distanced his face from Xiao Xing Fu. He looked at the boy with a slanted smile, "You still don't understand what I mean? Then I'll explain. You're not human anymore."

Xiao Xing Fu was shocked to hear Li Xiang's remark. But he said nothing and waited for his teacher to finish.

"The truth is you're dead. Then you're revived. But you did not become a whole human being. Because your real body is rotting now. While your body is currently on you, it is not your body. But it's just a doll made out of many human corpses using a style."

"No way!" Xiao Xing Fu shook his head in disbelief. "There's no such thing!"

"Wouldn't we go to your village to eradicate the evil spirits that are there? You saw it for yourself. In that place there were only a few corpses that had already rotted away. Then the question is, where are all the bodies left?"

"They must have been burned by the fire! Some of them don't exist!" Xiao Xing Fu said in a slightly trembling voice.

"But you saw it for yourself before you died, if the bodies around you are still many. So it's impossible for the corpse to burn to ashes until it's a little in total while you're still breathing. And do you think they were reduced to ashes when I left them with that fire? If I don't put out the fire before I leave that place, shouldn't the forest near your village be on fire? But when we came together to that place, you still saw the forest near the village. So where are all the bodies? The answer is, they were transformed into your current body."

Hearing that, Xiao Xing Fu's eyes became trembling. "I am. not human?"

"so. You're just a pile of corpses turned into puppets for the container of one spirit as his body."

Xiao Xing Fu looked at Li Xiang with trembling eyes. It seems like he doesn't want to hear the other reality. But on the other hand, he wanted to know many things he did not know. "Then..why did you do that? Why did you resurrect me if you were the culprit?!" He spoke with a little bit of a snarl.

"I killed you, along with all the people in Yunxu village. Then you ask why I want to raise you? The answer is very easy. I just do it for fun. How to see you looking for the perpetrator of the murder, when all this time the person you've been looking for has always been near you. It's funny, you're entertaining me." His look looked demeaning. Yet his lips carved a sinister smile.

"There is no specific reason. Same answer. Just for fun."

"Then why have you been taking care of me all this time?! What is the reason still the same, for fun?!"

Li Xiang smiled sinisterly, "You are like a puppet performing on a theater stage. Then I'm the mover as well as the spectator who sees your show."

Li Xiang's words were too painful for Xiao Xing Fu. Hearing if he was just a toy for fun, made him angry. He immediately stood up and was about to hit Li Xiang. But before he could do so, a kick hit his body making him fall from the top of the tree quite hard.

"You can't beat me." Said Li Xiang as he was already standing right in front of the prone Xiao Xing Fu.

Slowly Xiao Xing Fu stood back up. His look was angry. But behind his anger there was a deep sadness after hearing Li Xiang's words earlier.

Xiao Xing Fu kept trying to attack Li Xiang empty-handed. But no matter how much effort he made to hit the teenager, he could never hit him. He simply continued to fall and get injured due to the backlash Li Xiang had put on him.

"It's just that you keep attacking me. You'll never win from me." Said Li Xiang while watching Xiao Xing Fu who was sitting at a distance of several meters away from him. The ground ground around them was currently damaged due to the small fight they had fought. There were even two trees that had fallen as a result of Xiao Xing Fu's collision on the tree earlier and also because of the blow he had made.

On Xiao Xing Fu's body there were currently several injuries caused by Li Xiang. At the corner of his lips was blood. However, Xiao Xing Fu was unwilling to give up.

"Is this including your revenge on me? So it turns out you've decided. Your choice is your foster parents." Said Li Xiang flatly. He disappeared quickly and appeared right before the seated Xiao Xing Fu. After which, he directly kicked Xiao Xing Fu hard.

Braakkk

Without being able to resist or withstand Li Xiang's attack, Xiao Xing Fu's body smashed into the huge tree behind him until it collapsed. He coughed, "Uhuk. uhuk.." It feels so painful. His entire bone was crumbling at this moment. But he still stands.

"Why are you so stubborn? You still want to fight me? Just stand up right you can't." Li Xiang stared at Xiao Xing Fu flatly.

Xiao Xing Fu did not say anything. He spewed a mouthful of blood from his mouth. But he still stands. He looked at Li Xiang for a moment. After which, he looked up at the sky and directly raised his right hand. "With my strength, I call you, destroy my enemy's enemy with your lightning." Said slowly.

"You're gonna use that skill to kill me?" Li Xiang looked up at the sky. "We'll see, can you really do it?"

The dark night sky was now surrounded by black clouds with lightning striking each other above the clouds. Then before long, a huge lightning bolt hit the surface of the place where Li Xiang was.

Jdeeerrrr

Whuuss

A strong enough wind spread out from the direction the lightning struck.

Xiao Xing Fu was almost carried away by the wind just like when he used it the first time back then. But he survived so as not to get carried away by the wind.

Lightning only struck once. After which, the clouds above the sky simply disappeared. Now the place where Li Xiang was located was covered by many flying dedebuan.

Xiao Xing Fu sat on the ground. He felt tired. Using this lightning style does drain a lot of energy. "Is he hurt?" Mumbled.

Slowly the decoction disappeared, revealing a teenage boy behind it who stood without any injuries.

Xiao Xing Fu was shocked. Li Xiang was not injured at all.
