On his way back to the ninth summit, Su Ming stopped twice on the way.
The first time he stopped was because he saw Han Fei Zi. This was the first time Su Ming met this woman ever since she entered Freezing Sky Clan. When they met this time, the two of them looked at each other for a brief moment in midair.
Han Fei Zi was not alone. There was a man and a woman following behind her. Su Ming was familiar with their faces. They were Chen and Xu. They were a few steps behind Han Fei Zi, and judging by their respectful demeanor, it was clear that they had already become her followers.
Han Fei Zi was the same as ever. She still had that cold expression on her face. Her face was as cold as ice, and even though she looked charming, not everyone could accept the coldness that came from within her.
She wore a green dress and her hair fell over her shoulders. Her expression was indifferent, and when she saw Su Ming, her expression did not change much.
"Greetings, uncle master Su."
"Greetings, uncle master Su." When Chen and Xu saw Su Ming behind Han Fei Zi, a complicated look immediately appeared on their faces, but it soon turned into respect. They knew that they and Su Ming had noticed it, and they were also shocked by how quickly Su Ming had risen in power during the half a year he had been in Freezing Sky Clan.
The battle against Si Ma Xin could be said to have caused Su Ming's name to sweep through the Great Frozen Plains like a violent gust of wind. His name might not be as loud as thunder, but it was not far from it.
Su Ming nodded towards Chen and Xu, then cast a glance at Han Fei Zi. When he saw that the woman did not seem to have any intention of talking to him, he moved, intending to leave the place.
Yet the moment Su Ming moved, Han Fei Zi's cold voice traveled into his ears. When that voice traveled into his ears, he felt as if his entire body was covered in ice. That voice was merciless, and it was so cold that even if the weather was hot, it would still instantly turn cold.
That voice alone was enough to show just how cold the woman's heart, body, and soul was.
"Han Fei Zi is like a scorpion, isn't she? Why are you avoiding her, brother Su?"
Su Ming turned his head around and cast a profound look at Han Fei Zi. Not only did this woman's power increase, her presence had also changed drastically compared to when she was in Han Mountain City.
"Senior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Xu." Han Fei Zi ignored Su Ming's gaze and instead cast a glance at the two people following her from the same mountain. Chen and Xu lowered their heads. It was clear that they had not just been following Han Fei Zi for a day and a half. At that moment, they already knew the meaning behind Han Fei Zi's unfinished words. They quickly retreated, and only when they were 1,000 feet away did they stop and wait there.
"You and I are old friends. There is no need for such words." Su Ming asked calmly and looked at Han Fei Zi. He had first met this woman in the inn when he first stepped into Han Mountain City when he came to the Land of South Morning. At that time, she seemed to have been shrouded by fog, causing Su Ming to only be able to look at her silently. It did not matter whether it was her level of cultivation or her status, he could not compare to her.
It was the same even when they ran into each other several times after that. Even the battle at that time had made Su Ming incredibly cautious.
Han Fei Zi turned her head and looked at the mountain range in the distance. She coldly said, "Back on the fourth peak, after I paid my respects to my master, I went into secluded meditation the entire time. I would occasionally come out, but I never left the mountain …."
Although his voice was cold, there was a faint trace of explanation in his words.
Su Ming remained silent. He did not speak.
"I saw your battle against Si Ma Xin." Han Fei Zi's gaze fell on Su Ming.
"After that, I chose to isolate myself once again. The distance between us will not widen!"
Su Ming remained silent.
Han Fei Zi also stopped speaking and no longer spoke. The two of them remained silent for a moment before Su Ming turned around and walked into the distance.
Han Fei Zi looked at Su Ming's back. There was still not a hint of emotion in her voice, it was cold and indifferent. "Do you still remember what we talked about in Han Mountain's Secret Realm?"
"I do," Su Ming said calmly without turning his head back.
"From tomorrow onwards, I will continue isolating myself to practice the cultivation method my Master taught me. This time, I will come out of isolation before Sky Mist Shaman Hunt … During Sky Mist Shaman Hunt, I want you to come with me to a place."
"Alright." Su Ming thought about it for a moment and did not refuse.
"You'll definitely be interested in that place. It's related to the other worlds …" Han Fei Zi said softly. As she spoke, she stared at Su Ming's retreating back, but she could not see any change in his back. He was still calm as he gradually disappeared from her sight.
On his way back to the ninth summit, Su Ming stopped for the second time outside the ninth summit. Just as he was about to step into the mountain, his footsteps came to a halt.
"How long are you going to follow me?"
"This place doesn't belong to the ninth summit alone. What right do you have to say that I'm following you?!" A woman's voice came from behind Su Ming. That voice was not as gentle as Fang Cang Lan's, not as elegant as Tian Lan Meng's, and not as cold as Han Fei Zi's, but there was a hint of provocation in that voice that the other three did not have.
Su Ming frowned and turned around. He saw a woman in purple standing several hundreds of feet behind him. That woman was very beautiful and filled with a wild air. She was also staring at Su Ming intently at that moment. There was wariness in her eyes, along with scorn.
This was a pretty face that would often appear in Su Ming's memories. It was also a face that had given him an urge he did not want to suppress a few months ago.
This was Bai Su.
Su Ming looked at Bai Su, at this face that had appeared in his memories many times. At that moment, he did not want to see her.
Su Ming turned around and averted his gaze from the woman. Once he paused for a moment, he stepped onto the ninth summit once again. As he walked up the mountain stairs, he could not help but frown once again.
Yet he did not stop. Instead, he charged towards his cave abode. When Zi Che saw Su Ming arriving outside his cave abode, he quickly stood up and bowed towards him respectfully. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and his gaze fell on the spot behind Su Ming. There, he gradually saw a hint of purple.
The moment he saw that shade of purple, a stunned expression appeared on Zi Che's face.
Su Ming frowned and walked past Zi Che. Before he entered his cave abode, he turned his head around and looked at Bai Su walking towards him from the distance.
That purple robe, that stubborn look on his face, and the provocative look in his eyes caused the wild air around Bai Su to become even clearer.
"This is the ninth summit," Su Ming said calmly.
"I know." Bai Su lifted her chin and answered.
"Chase her down the mountain!" A cold glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. As he gave his order to Zi Che, he turned around and walked towards his cave abode.
"You don't dare to look at me, because in your memories, there's a girl who looks exactly like me! "If you don't dare to look at me, then there will always be a wound in your heart. If you can't get rid of that pain, then you will never be able to maintain your calmness. Even if you pretend to be calm, it's still fake!" Bai Su suddenly said. The moment she said those words, Su Ming, who had already walked into his cave abode, sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, as if he did not hear anything.
"Junior sister Bai, please don't make things difficult for me." Zi Che took a step forward and blocked Bai Su, who was about to enter Su Ming's cave abode, and spoke coldly.
"In the end, you still don't dare to look at me. I'm the seed in your heart. Even if you don't see me, I'm still here! "In fact, you don't even want to attack me, or else why would you ask others to chase me down the mountain? You could have done it yourself!
"With your power, aren't you able to fight against big brother Si Ma? I've only just Transcended. With your power, you can chase me down the mountain with just a wave of your hand. Why don't you do it yourself?!" Bai Su shouted loudly. Her gaze fell on Su Ming's cave abode not too far away, and she did not even look at Zi Che, who was standing by her side.
"So what if you chase me out of the ninth summit? I'll still come, and I'll come every day!"
Zi Che frowned. He moved his Qi slightly and instantly turned into a force that pushed Bai Su back. When he saw the stubborn look on Bai Su's face, as if she still did not want to give up, Zi Che waved his arm, and a huge gust of wind instantly swept up Bai Su's body and flung her out of the ninth summit.
Su Ming had his eyes closed in the cave abode, as if he did not hear anything. However, for some unknown reason, there was a hint of restlessness in his heart.
After a long while, Su Ming opened his eyes and looked at the blue sky outside the cave.
"Si Ma Xin, is she the one you're using to fight against me..?"
Su Ming mumbled. More accurately speaking, he and Si Ma Xin had already fought three times. The first time was in Han Mountain City. Si Ma Xin, who had used Fang Mu's body to gather his spirit, had won, but also lost.
That battle could be considered a draw.
The second battle was in Freezing Sky Clan. That shocking battle might have seemed to have ended in a draw, but in truth, Su Ming had still lost. Yet at the same time, he had also won.
That battle could also be considered a draw.
The third battle was with the rod snake's life and death as the catalyst. The two of them fought against each other in a calculated battle that could not be seen, that could not be seen, but that was a battle that was incredibly dangerous.
This battle did not end in a draw. Su Ming had won completely!
Now, Bai Su's arrival let Su Ming know that this woman was the fourth battle between him and Si Ma Xin. If Si Ma Xin was a prodigy, then it was clear that he had already made full preparations for this battle.
'Great Art of Heartless Berserker Seed … This Art is incredibly mysterious. When you combine it with Si Ma Xin's actions, your goal has already been revealed to me clearly …
'You want to plant a Berserker Seed in my body …' Su Ming looked at the sky outside his cave abode, and a glint appeared in his eyes.
'If I don't accept this battle, then I'll lose … unless I can forget it … If I accept this battle, then I'll fall into your trap, and there'll be no way out …'
Su Ming closed his eyes and lifted his right hand. He drew slowly on the drawing board before him.
Gradually, a drawing that only he could see clearly appeared on the drawing board. When Su Ming finished drawing the final stroke and opened his eyes, he saw himself drawing a faint figure on the drawing board.
That figure had its head lowered and was looking at the grass beneath its feet, but when it lifted its right foot, it was entangled by a blade of grass …
That grass was very fragile. It would shatter if it lifted its foot, but the figure lowered its head and stared at it for a long, long time.
At that moment, while Su Ming was looking at the picture in his cave abode, Tian Xie Zi opened his eyes and looked at him from the top of the mountain outside his cave.
'Is he about to experience his first change of heart..?' Worry appeared on Tian Xie Zi's face.
