"Zi Che, you little bastard! I've stood up for you even though you were beaten up since you were young! If you're a man, then go and find Sun Da Hu right now!" The woman's furious voice came swiftly from beyond the ninth summit.
There were two long arcs charging through the sky. One of them wore a yellow robe and had a pretty face that was shaped like a goose egg. She might be angry, but there was a certain beauty to her.
There was another woman following behind her. That woman was also beautiful, but there was a hint of hesitation on her face. There was a strange look in her eyes. That woman was Han Cang Zi.
Zi Che scratched his head and quickly got up, but he did not know what to say. He just stood there awkwardly.
"Sister …"
"Don't call me sister! I don't have a younger brother like you!" The woman glared at Zi Che before her gaze fell on Su Ming.
"Oh, isn't this uncle master Su?" The woman spoke with a cold sneer.
Su Ming felt a slight headache coming on. The woman's name was Zi Yan, and she was Zi Che's older sister. She had come multiple times during the past two months. In the beginning, she was only looking for Hu Zi. Once he hid a few times, she found him. No one knew what happened between the two of them, but ever since then, Hu Zi had hidden himself deep in the mountain. She only knew that he was in the mountain, but it was difficult for her to find where he was hiding.
Only when he was forced into a corner would he shout. Even then, his words would drift about, making it difficult for others to locate him.
There was even one time when Hu Zi felt that everyone had seen him but the woman was the one causing trouble for him. That was why he shouted something similar to what he did just now, and after repeating it a few times, the woman's attention was slowly diverted away.
Su Ming could do nothing about it. He could only laugh wryly. His head hurt.
The woman's personality was also difficult to understand. Once she diverted her attention, she made an incredibly ridiculous request to Su Ming. If he did not fulfill her request, she would continue pestering him.
Fortunately, Su Ming was not the culprit. Once he avoided her a few times, Zi Yan once again turned her attention to the culprit, Sun Da Hu.
"Um … disciple niece Zi Yan …" Su Ming looked at the angry Zi Yan and naturally saw Han Cang Zi standing behind her. He instinctively blinked.
Han Cang Zi pretended not to see him and turned her head to look elsewhere.
"I wonder what instructions Martial Uncle Su has for this little girl? Did you not see enough back then?" Zi Yan let out a cold harrumph and walked over with graceful steps. When she arrived at the ninth summit, she stood on the platform outside Su Ming's cave abode. At that moment, a gust of wind blew past and lifted her black hair, bringing with it a refreshing fragrance that blew into Su Ming's face.
"Um … It's not that I can't fulfill the request you made last time, but your uncle master Hu Zi is the mastermind. If he does as you asked, then I'll naturally do the same." It was not that Su Ming was not good with words, but ever since he came to the Land of South Morning, he had gotten used to silence.
Right then, there was a warmth in the ninth summit that made him feel as if he was at home. The words he used when he was in Dark Mountain had slowly returned to him.
"You …" Zi Yan glared at him. Just as she was about to speak, Han Cang Zi let out a light cough by her side. Zi Yan cast a deep look at Su Ming and let out a harrumph. "For junior sister Fang's sake, I'll delay this until I find that Sun Da Hu!"
As Zi Yan spoke, she started walking around the ninth summit.
The ninth summit was very strange. It did not have a Mountain Protection Rune, so people could walk around as they pleased. However, that was only if they were allowed to do so. If the people of the ninth summit did not allow them to walk around, then they would end up like Zi Che.
However, it could be said that all the people of the ninth summit felt that they were in the wrong before Zi Yan. Tian Xie Zi was cunning and had long since isolated himself. This matter had nothing to do with eldest senior brother, and eldest senior brother was happy to be free.
As for second senior brother, he often wandered around during the past two months and played with the plants. Every single time he saw Zi Yan, he would give her a smile that was as gentle as the spring breeze and nod at her.
When Zi Yan left to search for Sun Da Hu, who was hiding in the ninth summit, Han Cang Zi also descended from midair and stood on the platform. Zi Che could vaguely tell that the two of them seemed to have known each other since a long time ago. Besides, some of the things about Su Ming that had been spreading through the Great Frozen Plains of Freezing Sky Clan made him quickly lower his head and take a few steps back, leaving the place.
The sky was clear. White clouds covered the blue sky. A cold breeze blew past the two of them, lifting a few strands of their hair. It also added a beautiful touch to the tranquility of the place.
"You seem to be avoiding me." Su Ming looked at Fang Cang Lan and spoke with a smile.
"I'm not." Fang Cang Lan did not look at Su Ming. Instead, she stood there and looked at the blue sky in the distance as she spoke softly.
"You've come here with your senior sister Zi Yan many times these past two months, but this is the first time you stayed behind alone." In Su Ming's eyes, Fang Cang Lan's body was like a snow lotus in the wind. There was peace within her.
"I came here before," Fang Cang Lan said softly.
"Thank you." Su Ming sat down by the side and his gaze fell on the white clouds in the sky.
"Thank me for what?" Fang Cang Lan turned her head sideways and looked at Su Ming. The act of turning her head was very beautiful. Sunlight shone on her face, and he could see some fine hairs on her face.
"Thank you for worrying when Zi Che came. Thank you for reminding me when I was fighting against Si Ma Xin." Su Ming picked up the drawing board by his side and flicked it with his right hand.
A faint bang reverberated in the air, and a thin layer of dust fell off the drawing board.
"I know. You should have guessed Si Ma Xin's goal, that's why you didn't come to remind me." Fang Cang Lan smiled. There was a hint of uncertainty in that smile that Su Ming understood.
"Berserker Son, huh." A cold, piercing glint appeared briefly in Su Ming's eyes. If he still could not figure out Si Ma Xin's goal, then he would not be the Su Ming who had come this far in the Land of South Morning alone.
"I don't know what method Si Ma Xin will use next, but based on my understanding of him, once he makes his decision, he will definitely not give up.
"You … have to be careful." Fang Cang Lan hesitated for a moment before she spoke softly. Once she finished speaking, she lifted her right hand and tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear. She was just about to turn her head around and no longer look at Su Ming. It was just as Su Ming had said, she was indeed avoiding him slightly, because every single time she met his gaze, her heart would suddenly start racing.
"Don't move," Su Ming suddenly said.
Fang Cang Lan was momentarily stunned. She looked at Su Ming with a puzzled look in her eyes.
"Keep doing this and I'll draw you a picture." Su Ming held the drawing board and looked at Fang Cang Lan. He drew a line on the drawing board with his right hand.
A red flush appeared on Fang Cang Lan's cheeks. She bit her lip and looked at Su Ming. She maintained the posture of tying up her hair. Her dress danced in the wind, and behind her was the blue sky and white clouds.
The wind blew past, and not only did it make her dress flutter, it also made her hair sway in one direction. This scene was incredibly beautiful.
Time seemed to have slowed down in an instant. Under Su Ming's finger, the outline of a woman gradually appeared on his drawing board. Fang Cang Lan's racing heart slowly calmed down. She stared at Su Ming, and the first thing she saw was the scar under his eyes.
As she looked at the scar, Fang Cang Lan's heart clenched in pain.
The two of them did not speak again. In the silence, one of them drew, and the other looked at him.
In the distance, admiration appeared on Zi Che's face. He might not have heard the conversation between Su Ming and Fang Cang Lan, but once he saw the two of them drawing, his admiration towards Su Ming had already reached an incredibly high level.
'As expected of uncle master Su. When he was fighting against Si Ma Xin, his murderous aura was overbearing, and he looked majestic … Now, he can draw with such gentleness and make a woman blush … When will I ever have this sort of ability..?' Zi Che lamented. As he shook his head, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
'A month ago, I was still fighting against Si Ma Xin. Today, I'm looking at a painting of a beauty. If one day I can … What should my next line be..?' Zi Che frowned. During these two months, as he continuously saw the strange habits of the people in the ninth summit, he gained an epiphany. He felt that this strange habit was perhaps one of the reasons why they were so different from the others.
That was why he also found a strange habit for himself. It was just like what he was doing right now, creating words and composing poems while feeling sentimental …
Just as Zi Che was racking his brains over what his next line should be and Su Ming was drawing for Fang Cang Lan, who was staring at him, second senior brother, who was squatting down on the ground and tending to his plants on the ninth summit, lifted his head and looked in the direction of Su Ming's cave abode. His eyes also lit up.
"Youngest junior brother, thank you." Once second senior brother suddenly said those strange words, he immediately stood up, let out a few fake coughs, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Second senior brother suddenly appeared at another spot on the ninth summit. He first smoothed out his robes, then took a few deep breaths before he placed his hands behind his back and lifted his head to look at the sky.
Soon, he turned his body to the side and let the sun shine on the side of his face, then lifted his head to look at the sky.
Yet soon, he frowned again and swung his left hand by his side. Immediately, a light breeze blew past him, lifting his robes and long hair. With that breeze in place, second senior brother looked at the sky, unmoving.
Before long, Zi Yan appeared on the stairs not too far away. She had already searched through many places, but she just could not find Sun Da Hu. She might be filled with hate, but she had no way to vent it.
As she was walking, she suddenly heard a gentle voice by her ear.
"Miss Zi Yan."
Zi Yan's footsteps faltered. As she turned around, she saw second senior brother standing there. The instant she saw him, a stunned expression appeared on her face.
She saw Su Ming's second senior brother's hair dancing in the wind.
She also saw Su Ming's second senior brother's long robes fluttering in the wind …
She also saw Su Ming's second senior brother placing his hands behind his back with the side of his face turned towards her. He lifted his head to look at the white clouds in the sky, and the sunlight fell on the side of his face, causing him to look very different from before.
"Er … Greetings, second uncle master of the ninth summit …" Zi Yan felt her skin crawl. She did not know what was going on with the person before her, so she quickly took a few steps back and spoke softly.
