Su Ming did not immediately speak. Instead, he stood there and stared at the cross-dressing Chen Xiang before him. There was a sharp look in his eyes, and when they landed on Chen Xiang's face, she felt as if her heart had been pierced through, and she could see the depths of her heart.
Chen Xiang's heart trembled. She lowered her head without looking into his eyes and took a few steps back once again.
"Speak. I'll think about it," Su Ming said calmly. His voice was neither fast nor slow.
"This … If uncle master Su wants to help, you can definitely do it …" Chen Xiang bit her bottom lip. At that moment, she revealed a lot of her feminine side without even realizing it.
"Uncle master Su, please help me. Make … make uncle master Sun Da Hu stop patrolling outside my room at night … I'm not used to this …" Chen Xiang said in a low voice, and with great difficulty, she managed to find a more tactful way to express her meaning. Once she finished speaking, she bowed slightly towards Su Ming.
"Uncle master Su, please help me …"
A strange look instantly appeared on Su Ming's face. He had thought of a lot of possibilities, but he did not expect that Chen Xiang had given him the wooden block and tendon thread just for this.
From this, it could be seen just how great of a shadow Hu Zi was in this person's heart.
When he remembered how Hu Zi had brought him here from the ninth summit before he fell asleep, and all the things they had encountered on the way, Su Ming could not help but smile wryly.
"I'll try my best to persuade him, but I can't guarantee that I'll succeed." Su Ming hesitated for a moment. If he was being honest, he also did not want someone to occasionally crouch outside at night and watch his every move. When he remembered the strange smile on Hu Zi's lips when he peeked at his second senior brother, it was not difficult for Su Ming to imagine that Hu Zi would definitely still be smiling when he peeked at other people.
He looked at Chen Xiang with slight pity. When she heard Su Ming's words, gratitude instantly appeared on her face. That gratitude did not seem fake, but came from the bottom of her heart. It could be seen just how much Hu Zi had been harassing her.
To Chen Xiang, asking her uncle master Hu Zi, who was like a nightmare at night, to leave was the most important thing she could do at that moment.
Under Chen Xiang's gratitude and respect, Su Ming walked out of the Artifact Storage Hall. Chen Xiang followed behind him, and in the end, she still bowed deeply towards Su Ming. The hope in her eyes made Su Ming instinctively cast a glance at Hu Zi, who was snoring behind Zi Che not too far away.
"I'll do my best." Su Ming nodded at Chen Xiang and walked towards Hu Zi. Once he picked him up, he took a step in the air and turned into a long arc that charged towards the ninth summit.
Zi Che quickly followed behind him. As he looked at Su Ming's back, a resolute look appeared in his eyes.
Before long, the two of them arrived at the ninth summit from the group of palaces under Heaven Gate. On the way, Su Ming ran into some Freezing Sky Clan disciples. Once they saw him, some of them who recognized him immediately stopped moving and wrapped their fists in their palms to greet him. Only when Su Ming left did they move.
There were not many people calling out uncle master Su's name on the way, but it was still different from what Su Ming had encountered previously.
They were not. not. and they. and Su. and Hu Zi's Chen Chen's Shan. Su's eyes. and, Chen, Chen's.. and when he saw, he. and, he, he, and., he, Chen's Xiang's Su.
When he saw Hu Zi snoring loudly, a smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He brought out a wine gourd from the side and placed it at a spot where Hu Zi could touch it. Only then did he turn around and leave.
As he looked at Hu Zi snoring loudly, a smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He brought out a wine gourd from the side and placed it at a spot where Hu Zi could touch it before he turned around and left.
Zi Che was standing respectfully outside the cave. When he saw Su Ming coming out, he immediately lowered his head and looked as if he was waiting for his orders.
Zi Che fell silent. There was an awkward look on his face as he lowered his head and did not speak.
"But if you can bring me two corpses from the living dead, then I'll get rid of that thought," Su Ming said calmly.
He already had a plan in his heart. His most important task in Freezing Sky Clan's ninth summit was to train. He had to become stronger. Only by doing so would he be able to win against Si Ma Xin in the near future, and he would be able to walk out of Sky Mist Barrier and out of the Land of South Morning.
He had to become stronger. Only then would he be able to win against Si Ma Xin in the near future, and he would be able to walk out of Sky Mist Barrier and out of the Land of South Morning.
All of this required great power!
Su Ming might have seemed to have been on par with Si Ma Xin when he fought against him, but he knew that in truth, he had lost that battle. If his Master had not interfered and given him enough time to copy the power of the world in that sword slash, then he would have definitely lost when that sword slash came crashing down.
Even if Tian Xie Zi had helped him, when Si Ma Xin cast the Great Art of Heartless Berserker Seed, Su Ming could clearly feel a strong sense of danger. That sense of danger was not something he could resolve with his current level of cultivation!
Even if he still had one treasure left, the Fire Ice his eldest senior brother had given him, he still had not brought it out. After all, that item was an external object and not his own.
All of this made Su Ming understand clearly that his level of cultivation was still very weak … With this level of cultivation, forget going home, he could not even get out of Sky Mist Barrier. In fact, he could not even do as he pleased in Freezing Sky Clan.
All of these thoughts had been running through Su Ming's head for a long time on his way back.
"Uncle master Su, it's not hard to get a corpse. I can promise you that within three years, I will definitely get you two corpses with great power.
"The Shamans outside Sky Mist Barrier are the best choice," Zi Che quickly said respectfully.
As Zi Che spoke, Su Ming had already walked into the distance with his back turned towards him, as if he did not hear Zi Che's voice. He continued walking forward, and when Zi Che saw Su Ming's body almost disappearing in the midst of his anxiety, Su Ming's voice traveled into his ears unhurriedly.
"I lack a guard outside my cave abode. If you're willing, then come with me."
Zi Che's spirits lifted and he immediately shouted, "I'm willing!" As he spoke, he immediately charged forward and followed behind Su Ming, disappearing from Hu Zi's cave abode.
Su Ming returned to his cave abode. At that moment, this simple cave abode was different from before. There was a hint of warmth in it, and it gave off the feeling of home.
The platform outside the cave abode was filled with grass growing in the ice. However, there was a small empty spot. That was the place Su Ming had asked his second senior brother to leave behind for him, the place where he could meditate.
The grass swayed in the cold wind, as if it was struggling to survive in this cold land. There was a tenacious life force within them, and as Su Ming looked at them, he felt as if he was looking at his second senior brother.
He suddenly came to a slight understanding as to why his second senior brother had planted flowers and plants all over most of the ninth summit. It was because this was his home, and he was just like the flowers and plants. Wherever he was, he had to protect it.
For example, there were no plants here previously, but once Su Ming opened up his cave abode here, his second senior brother came and covered the entire place with his plants.
A silent warmth came from the plants swaying in the wind, and Su Ming could feel it. He crouched down and looked at the plants. The smile on his face was one of warmth that he rarely saw ever since he came to the Land of South Morning.
That smile only existed in Su Ming's heart when he was in Dark Mountain, and it was also reflected on his face.
Zi Che stood by the side respectfully and looked at Su Ming. When he saw the smile on Su Ming's face, a dazed look appeared on his face. It was as if the person before him was no longer the murderous uncle master Su who could fight against Si Ma Xin, but a young man who had just grown up, and there was still a hint of youthfulness that had yet to fade away.
However, that dazed look only lasted for a moment. When Su Ming stood up and the smile on his face disappeared, the feeling that Zi Che did not know whether it was just a figment of his imagination immediately disappeared.
The young man who had just grown up was gone. In his place was the calm uncle master Su with a murderous aura.
"Without my summons, you are not allowed to step into my cave abode. Stay outside and listen to my orders." Su Ming's cold voice traveled into his ears and he walked towards the cave abode that did not have a door.
"Yes!" Zi Che's expression was respectful and he immediately obeyed. He took a few steps back and chose a spot that was away from the wind to sit down cross-legged. A dazed look appeared in his eyes for a moment, but it was soon replaced by determination.
'Three years … Perhaps these three years aren't a disaster for me, but a serendipity … I hope that's the case …' Zi Che closed his eyes and immersed himself in meditation, but his mind was focused on his surroundings. He was like a guard and servant, doing what he was supposed to do.
At that moment, Su Ming also sat down cross-legged in his cave abode. As he looked at the sky beyond the entrance of his cave abode darkening, he slowly brought out the Sharp White Wood he had obtained from the Artifact Storage Hall. Once he placed them before himself, he also brought out the ferocious beast tendon.
That tendon had great tenacity. Even if it was just a small section, it could still be stretched to a very long length.
The Sharp White Wood were not all the same size. Some were long, some were short, some were as thick as three fingers wide, and some were as thick as two fingers wide. Su Ming looked at the wood, and after a moment of pensive silence, he quickly lifted his hands and grabbed a piece of wood. As he swung his arms, a large amount of wood chips flew into the air. After a moment, he put it down and picked up another piece.
After a long while, when Su Ming had tidied up all the pieces of wood, there were nine pieces of wood placed before him. Each of them was as long as an arm, as wide as five fingers, and as tall as two fingers. They looked exactly the same. All of them were white, and at first glance, no one would be able to tell that they were made of wood, but white jade.
Once Su Ming placed the nine pieces of wood side by side, a large drawing board was placed before him. There might be a small crack in the middle of each piece of wood, but if he squeezed it with force, he could cover up the crack.
Then, Su Ming held the ferocious beast tendon in his hand, and green light shone at the center of his brows. The small sword flew out and cut the beast tendon into several pieces, then tied them to the wooden strips on the drawing board. Due to the tendon's natural elasticity, the cracks on the drawing board disappeared, but if he used force to roll the drawing board up like how he would roll a beast skin, then the drawing board would turn into a cylinder due to the tension.
