"A pretty disciple niece?" Su Ming had just woken up and did not think too much about it. When he heard the word disciple niece, he could not help but be stunned.
"She's very pretty. She's a girl." Second senior brother smiled gently and nodded his head.
"Er, what's her name?" Only at that moment did Su Ming remember Tian Xie Zi's seniority, and a strange look appeared on his face.
Second senior brother scratched his head and fell into deep thought for a moment before he sighed and said, "She's … Hmm? What's her name..? Youngest junior brother, I was only paying attention to the girl beside her just now. I forgot her name."
Su Ming looked at the slightly dazed second senior brother before him, and gradually, a warmth that came from within his body filled his entire body. He might not have woken up for a long time, but he could clearly remember that when he entered that strange state and sat on the platform, his second senior brother was not by his side.
At that moment, his second senior brother was sitting behind him. Su Ming could not imagine how long he had been sitting there. This was a silent form of care, a warmth that made Su Ming feel touched.
He stood up and instinctively lifted his head to cast a glance at the top of the ninth summit. The first thing he saw was a back that was slowly walking into the distance. That back was gradually covered by the ice mountain, causing Su Ming to be unable to see it.
Yet even though it was just a glance, the old back was familiar to Su Ming.
"Thank you, second senior brother." Su Ming averted his gaze and looked at his second senior brother standing before him. He did not even know his name, but in his heart, the title of second senior brother had already left a deep impression on him.
"We're brothers, there's no need to thank me. Besides, I didn't do anything. I just planted some flowers here." Second senior brother smiled and stood up, stretching his back.
"I'm going to sleep. I haven't slept for a few days. Youngest junior brother, remember to help me ask around." As he spoke, second senior brother blinked again. A rare hint of red appeared on his face, as if he was a little embarrassed by Su Ming's repeated reminders.
"That's right, your meditation technique is the Painting Realm. Since that's the case, you need to be immersed in it for a long period of time. Drawing in the air like just now will use the cultivation power in your body to condense the painting. This is not good …
This is the condensation of external energy. It can only be used a little, but not too much. It's difficult to truly use it to calm one's mind, and it's not suitable for cultivating one's mind. Look at the flowers and plants that Senior Brother has planted. When has he ever used his cultivation power to stimulate them to grow …? Doing it naturally is the way to calm one's mind.
"How about this? Your third senior brother is more familiar with Freezing Sky Clan. Ask him to bring you to the Artifact Storage Hall in the mountain under Heaven Gate. I remember that there are some drawing papers from Freezing Sky Clan there. They might be expensive, but go to Master and use his Clan Master's plate. You won't have to spend money then."
When a smile appeared on Su Ming's face, second senior brother turned around and walked towards the mountain trail by the side of the platform. His back was incredibly elegant, and as his hair spilled in the wind, he gradually disappeared from Su Ming's sight.
As he watched his second senior brother leave into the distance, the warmth in Su Ming's heart spread through his entire body. He looked at the mountain rocks of the ninth summit, then at his surroundings. Gradually, a feeling as if this was his home slowly rose in his heart.
Perhaps as time passed by, this feeling would grow stronger until he completely blended into this place and turned this place into his second home.
Su Ming meditated for an entire day in his cave abode. On the second afternoon, he stabilized his cultivation base in the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm before he walked out once again.
Su Ming still did not quite understand the increase in his level of cultivation this time. He was just confused. The main reason for the increase in his level of cultivation was to train his mind.
'Train my mind and clear my mind to understand my own serendipity …' Su Ming touched the spot where the blood moon had appeared beside the hidden Mountain Mark on his face.
The location of the blood moon might sound a little strange, but it was right in front of Su Ming's right eye!
'The blood moon in my right eye …' Su Ming took a deep breath and his expression gradually calmed down. He walked down the mountain path, and before long, a cave abode appeared before him.
Before he even got close, he could already smell the fragrance of wine mixed with snoring. The snoring rumbled and sounded like thunder. Su Ming stood outside the cave abode and paused for a moment. He had come here to see just what sort of living thing his second senior brother had been talking about.
He was slightly puzzled by this. Now that he was here and saw his third senior brother's cave abode, Su Ming decided to bend his back and walk in through the door.
The moment he entered the cave, the snoring was deafening and echoed in the cave. Hu Zi was lying not too far away. There was still a long line of drool at the corner of his mouth. There was an intoxicated look on his face, as if he was doing something happy in his dreams.
Beside him, there was a person covered in plants lying there. His right hand was tightly gripped by the unconscious Hu Zi. There were fewer plants on his face, and one could clearly see the pain on his face. At that moment, his eyes were closed, as if he was also immersed in a dream and doing something unhappy.
His body would occasionally twitch a few times.
This was the first time Su Ming came to Hu Zi's cave abode. He was momentarily stunned when he saw this person in a vegetative state, but he did not think too much about it. He just thought that this was a unique characteristic of Hu Zi's training.
When he saw that his third senior brother was still unconscious, Su Ming sat down cross-legged by his side. He did not disturb Hu Zi, but chose to meditate and wait.
Time trickled by. Several hours later, when the sky outside darkened as if it was almost dusk, Hu Zi's snoring reached its peak, and the moment it started, it stopped.
He opened his eyes and rubbed them a few times, then wiped off the drool at the corner of his mouth. Only then did he see Su Ming sitting not too far away.
"Heh heh … You're here …" Hu Zi laughed foolishly and scratched his head. He picked up the pot of wine by his side and took another sip.
"That was a good night's sleep. Damn you, why didn't you listen to me again?" Hu Zi put down the pot of wine and looked at the person in a vegetative state. He swung his hand and slapped him.
"You're still sleeping? Wake up!"
The person in a vegetative state shuddered when he was slapped. He opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Hu Zi, who had suddenly stretched his head out and was glaring at him ferociously.
When he saw Hu Zi, he clearly shuddered, and anger and fear intertwined together appeared in his eyes.
"Heh heh, how was it? How does it feel to sleep with your Grandpa Hu?" There was a smug look on Hu Zi's face. He turned his head around and slapped the person in the vegetative state's head with his right hand once again.
Once Hu Zi moved his body away, the person in a vegetative state immediately saw Su Ming, who was looking at him calmly. The moment he saw Su Ming, a complicated look appeared in his eyes. The complicated look on his face could be understood as resignation, regret, as well as lament and grievance.
"Third senior brother, who is this person?" Su Ming cast the person in a vegetative state a calm look. He could see the complicated look in the person's eyes, and a hint of surprise appeared in his heart.
"Hmm? You don't know? That's right. You were trying to gain an epiphany just now. This person's name is Zi Che, and he's a really powerful person. When you were in isolation, he wanted to harm you, but he was unlucky. He shouldn't have broken my gourd, and he shouldn't have stepped on second senior brother's plants. In the end, he was tied up by second senior brother and said that he was giving it to us. " Hu Zi laughed and his expression became even more smug. He got up and slapped the head of Zi Che's car once again, causing a loud bang to ring out.
Zi Che seemed to have gotten used to Hu Zi's slaps, but when he was slapped right in front of Su Ming's face, the anger in his heart grew stronger. In his eyes, if the terrifying Hand of Creation did not exist, then it did not matter whether it was Su Ming or his grandson, they would have to look up to him. But now …
"Oh?" Su Ming's expression remained calm.
"He's the living thing second senior brother mentioned, right?" Su Ming said unhurriedly.
"Ah, second senior brother already told you. That's right, he's the living thing, but youngest junior brother, don't snatch him from me. I haven't had enough fun with him yet. Once I bring him into my dreams a few more times, I'll throw him to you.
Damn it, how dare you break my gourd! "Hu Zi glared at Zi Che and lifted his palm again.
"Third senior brother, wait a moment. I have some questions to ask him." Su Ming stood up and walked towards Zi Che. He stood before him and looked at the person covered in plants.
Zi Che stared at Su Ming coldly, and a disdainful look gradually appeared in his eyes. He might have been captured and humiliated by Hu Zi, but as a powerful Berserker, he had his own pride, especially since Su Ming was clearly the weakest among them. He was like an ant. Even if an elephant was tied up, it would never submit to an ant.
Su Ming crouched down and looked at Zi Che as he said calmly, "I just came to Freezing Sky Clan. No one should be paying attention to me. You came to the ninth summit to look for me … because Si Ma Xin asked you to come, right?"
Zi Che's eyes were cold and filled with disdain, as if he did not hear Su Ming's words.
"Third senior brother, how much of this person's power was sealed by second senior brother?" Su Ming's expression remained the same as he asked softly.
"It's all sealed. Once we're done playing with him, we'll just have our senior brother remove some of his power. That'll be fun." Hu Zi rubbed his hands together and excitement appeared in his eyes, as if he had experienced this before.
When he heard Hu Zi's words, Zi Che's expression clearly changed, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain calm. However, from the way he occasionally looked at Hu Zi, Su Ming could tell that this person was clearly afraid of Hu Zi.
Yet it was clear that he was not afraid of him.
"We can't waste such a rare material …" Su Ming looked at Zi Che and smiled faintly. That smile was as faint as a breeze, and it looked as if he was completely unharmed.
Yet the moment his words fell into Zi Che's ears, Zi Che's heart lurched. For some unknown reason, the word 'material' made Zi Che suddenly feel that the faint smile on Su Ming's face contained a ferociousness and terror that far surpassed Hu Zi's.
Su Ming's smile made Zi Che's skin crawl. This was different from when he was facing Hu Zi. In his eyes, Hu Zi's actions might not have been so obvious that he could tell with just one glance. He might be afraid, but that was only because he was afraid of the ferociousness in his dreams. In truth, there was more disdain in Zi Che's heart. Yet this Su Ming before him gave him a completely different feeling. He could not tell what this person wanted to do. The word 'material' kept echoing in his head, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me.
