Su Ming looked at the drawing. After a long while, he picked up the drawing board and flipped it over, keeping the drawing in his possession.
Before the person in the drawing lifted his foot to crush the grass, Su Ming would not draw on the top of the drawing board, but on the back.
He still had not thought about how he would fight against Si Ma Xin, how he would resolve the situation, and how … he would win! Perhaps this battle would be the final battle between him and Si Ma Xin in Freezing Sky Clan before Sky Mist Shaman Hunt began!
The peaceful night passed by slowly. Su Ming did not draw that night. He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes slightly. As he breathed, the person in the snow in his memories appeared in his head.
Su Ming had a vague understanding in his heart. He had a feeling that the battle against Si Ma Xin this time was not the main point. The main point was the girl called Bai Su. The main point was that she had Bai Ling's wildness and that face that was exactly the same as hers.
The main point was that there were many times when a person was not mentally prepared for it, and at that moment, they would treat her as her …
The main point was that his heart seemed to be going through a metamorphosis. This metamorphosis did not come suddenly. It was as if it had always existed, and now that it had gathered together to a certain extent, it needed to explode forth.
Morning sunlight spilled into the cave abode and covered the area before Su Ming. Along with the sunlight came the woman's voice from outside the cave abode.
"Even if you chase me out today, I'll still come. I'll come every day!"
Once the voice traveled into his ears, it quickly calmed down. Su Ming knew that Zi Che had chased her out of the ninth summit once again.
Yet not long after, Bai Su's voice traveled into his ears once again.
"Su Ming, if you don't dare face it, then there will forever be a flaw in your heart!"
The entire day passed by slowly like this. When dusk arrived, Bai Su, who had arrived at the ninth summit, was chased out of the carriage once again. Her body was unable to withstand the pressure and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Zi Che hesitated.
He had never expected that there would be a person who would be so persistent. During that one day, Bai Su went up the mountain 17 times!
When he coughed out blood and was injured, he was forced to retreat … As he looked at the blood seeping into the ice, Zi Che looked towards Su Ming's cave abode.
The cave abode was silent. Not a single sound could be heard. Zi Che remained silent for a moment before he sat down cross-legged at the side.
The next day, Bai Su came again.
That day, she climbed the mountain nineteen times. In the end, she left behind a mouthful of blood. Her face was pale, and she was powerless to climb again.
On the evening of the third day, when Bai Su stood outside Su Ming's cave abode for the 20th time that day and stood before Zi Che, Zi Che lifted his right hand, but he could not swing it.
He stared at the girl in front of him. Her face was incredibly pale, and her body swayed, but the determination in her eyes and the tenacity in her bones made Zi Che hesitate.
Even though they were on different sides, Zi Che still admired Bai Su. Over the past three days, she had gone up the mountain more than fifty times, and was chased away more than fifty times, but she still persisted.
The more she was chased away, the stronger the determination in her eyes became. Zi Che did not doubt that even if he chased her away at that moment, she might not have the strength to come again today, but tomorrow, even if she was injured, she would still come again.
If this continued for a long time, no matter how good her body was, she would not be able to withstand it. Besides, she had just Transcended. By the looks of it, she had not even had time to draw her Berserker Mark in the Transcendence Realm.
Zi Che looked at Bai Su and spoke with a wry smile. "Why do you have to do this..?"
"You can chase me away again, but I will continue!" Bai Su's voice was very weak. As she spoke, she turned her head around and looked towards the direction of the first summit.
"The more times you go, the more disturbed his heart will be. The worse your injuries will be, and the more pain his heart will feel … He can't be merciless, and he can't forget. I'm certain of this!
"But Bai Su, I don't want you to be like this, because my heart will hurt even more …" Si Ma Xin's gentle words echoed in Bai Su's heart.
The determination and persistence in Bai Su's eyes grew stronger.
Zi Che let out a long sigh and lifted his right hand swiftly. As Su Ming's mountain guardian, he had to obey Su Ming's words. He did not dare disobey.
Just as Zi Che was about to chase the stubborn woman down the mountain once again, a calm voice traveled out from Su Ming's cave abode.
"You've come up the mountain so many times. What do you want to do? Tell me."
Once Su Ming said those words, Zi Che let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He felt slight pity for the woman before him. He might not know much, but he could still guess that the woman's arrival was related to Si Ma Xin.
"I want to learn how to draw." Bai Su looked at Su Ming's cave abode and said firmly.
"If you don't teach me, then I'll still come here every day. Either I die, or I'll wait until the day you agree to it!" Bai Su's voice may have been weak, but the determination within it made it so that no one would doubt that she would do what she said she would.
"Is it worth it..? This has nothing to do with you." After a long period of silence, Su Ming's voice that sounded like he was sighing came from within the cave.
Bai Su did not speak, but the determination in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"In my memories, there is indeed a woman who looks incredibly similar to you … She appeared before me time and again and tore apart the wounds in my memories. Is this what you want to do to help Si Ma Xin..?" Su Ming's mumbling voice drifted out of the cave.
Bai Su fell silent. Hesitation seemed to appear in the determination in her eyes, but it soon disappeared.
"You were the one who snatched big brother Si Ma's treasure …" Bai Su gritted her teeth, but before she could finish speaking, a violent gust of wind suddenly blew out from the cave abode and swept up her body, chasing her out of the mountain.
Su Ming looked at the drawing board before him in the cave abode and put down his right hand calmly.
The sky outside gradually darkened until it was pitch black. In the middle of the night, the ninth summit was silent. Perhaps at that moment, his second senior brother would be wandering around the mountain like a ghost, searching for the person he believed to be the one who had stolen his flowers and plants.
Perhaps his third senior brother was currently hiding in a corner with that mysterious smile on his face, peeking at something, thinking that he was the smartest.
Perhaps his eldest senior brother was still under the glacier, unable to see the sun rise or set. In that silence, he isolated himself and meditated quietly.
Su Ming closed his eyes and brought out the broken bone xun from his bosom. That xun was very difficult to repair and could not produce any sound when played. Su Ming placed it by his lips and blew on it gently.
Silence.
Yet in Su Ming's ears, he could vaguely hear that moaning sound echoing around his body and within his mind. It did not disappear even after a long time had passed.
Su Ming had no idea how much time had passed. The moon in the cave abode shone on him gently and shone on the ice mountain, causing it to be refracted into a myriad of colors. In that quiet night, Su Ming blew on the soundless xun and quietly experienced a calmness that was different from drawing.
When the song ended, an old voice traveled into Su Ming's ears.
"The song isn't bad."
The instant he heard that voice, Su Ming opened his eyes. His heart raced against his chest. He saw that a person had arrived in his cave abode at some unknown point of time!
That person was dressed in a long purple robe and had his back turned towards Su Ming. Some of the moonlight fell on his body, causing the purple aura on his body to evaporate and turn into a strange pressure that enveloped the entire cave abode. At the same time, Su Ming's eyes were also dyed in color.
Long purple robes, purple hair, a purple person, and a familiar voice!
"Greetings, Master." Su Ming immediately stood up and bowed towards the person who had his back turned towards him.
Su Ming's expression might have seemed normal and not a single hint of change could be detected on his face, but a huge storm was raging in his heart. That storm was not because of Tian Xie Zi's sudden arrival, and neither was it because Su Ming had not noticed him beforehand.
Instead, it was because Tian Xie Zi was wearing a purple robe at that moment!
Su Ming had never seen Tian Xie Zi in this state before. It was as if his second senior brother's words from the other day reached his ears once again. It was a rumor regarding his Master in purple robes, along with the grave expression on his second senior brother's face that day.
Besides that, what also shocked Su Ming was that the Xuan was originally soundless. That voice only existed in his memories, but Tian Xie Zi's words had appeared in Su Ming's memories the instant the voice disappeared from his heart.
Was this a coincidence, or …
Su Ming looked at his Master in purple robes, who had his back turned towards him, and instinctively took a step back.
"Are you afraid?" The purple-robed Tian Xie Zi still did not turn around. His voice was old, and at the same time, there was a bloodthirsty tone to it. Su Ming immediately noticed that feeling clearly.
That bloodthirst could be seen because it had been frozen for a long time, but also … because it had just been stained!
With just one glance, Su Ming saw that there was a bloodthirst coming from a spot under his Master's purple robes. That bloodthirst was not a feeling, but a smell!
This was not Tian Xie Zi's blood. Clearly, before Tian Xie Zi came here … he had stained his clothes with someone else's blood!
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he answered honestly, "I've never seen Master wear a purple robe before. I'm a little uncomfortable …"
"Don't be afraid. You'll get used to it." The bloodthirsty tone in Tian Xie Zi's voice instantly became stronger. He turned around slowly, and his eyes burned like torches as he looked at Su Ming.
The moment he turned around, Su Ming immediately saw that Tian Xie Zi's originally kind face had turned as cold as ice. There was also a dark look on his face, but there was no malice in his eyes.
Behind him, Su Ming had a feeling that he saw an illusionary sea of blood. Within that sea of blood was a stone statue. That stone statue had its arms crossed over its chest, and its eyes were open. There was also no malice in its gaze as it looked at Su Ming.
"Fourth, do you know how to fight against others?" Tian Xie Zi looked at Su Ming and asked hoarsely. As he spoke, a hint of cruelty appeared on his lips.
That cruelty was not targeted at Su Ming. It was as if those words had stirred up Tian Xie Zi's heart and caused his emotions to fluctuate.
