"It's the Mountain Protection Rune! Fourth, you don't know how troublesome it is to change that Rune, really troublesome! Who would change that thing so easily?! "But that damned seventh summit, they … They're going too far!" Hu Zi hugged Su Ming tightly with anger on his face.
Su Ming finally broke free from his grip and looked at the enraged Hu Zi, unable to say a single word.
"They're going too far! I can't tolerate this!" Hu Zi lifted his arms and roared.
"Fourth, what's with that expression?" It was rare for Hu Zi to see the strange expression on Su Ming's face even though he was so angry.
"Er … No … It's nothing." Su Ming let out a few fake coughs. He felt that this was not the right time to discuss things with Hu Zi. Just as he was about to find a way to leave, Hu Zi's angry roars reverberated in the air once again.
"They're insulting me! They're blatantly provoking me! Youngest junior brother, don't you think so? Aren't they going too far? Aren't they too heartless? Aren't they too immoral? Aren't they too shameless?!" Hu Zi paced around the cave abode with his messy hair making him look as if he had gone mad as he roared nonstop.
"They're going too far! I've been helping them take care of that Rune all the time! They're heartless! I've helped them fix that Rune a few times in the past! They're too immoral! How could they not tell me when they changed the Rune?!
"Third senior brother … I still have something to do. I'll be leaving now …" Su Ming quickly took a few steps back, intending to leave.
"Youngest junior brother, don't go …" Hu Zi took a few quick steps forward and blocked Su Ming's path. His face was still filled with anger, but there was also excitement within that anger.
"Youngest junior brother, please be my judge. Tell me, I haven't been in the mountain for many years, but did you know that the seventh summit has changed the Mountain Protection Rune six times?!
"Six times, and this is the seventh time. Aren't they being too much of a bully? Every single time they change it, it's much more complicated. I have to rack my brains to think of a way to get in!
"This time, they're going too far! They're going too far this time! I used a total of ten days to calculate and calculate, and I didn't go out to peek! Ten days!"
Su Ming smiled wryly. He was about to speak when the excitement on Hu Zi's face instantly surpassed his anger.
"But!!" Hu Zi waved his hand, his bloodshot eyes shining brightly.
"In the end, it was still broken by her Grandpa Hu. Damn her grandpa, this Mountain Protection Battle is nothing. I'm the smartest. Youngest junior brother, look!" Hu Zi dragged Su Ming to the side of the carvings on the ground and pointed at the dazzling pictures.
"Breaking the formation is easy. The difficult part is how to make the formation automatically open the door for me without being discovered. Look, this line is me!" The more Hu Zi spoke, the more excited he became. He took the dagger and drew a curved line on the ground. The line twisted on the ground and entered the deepest part of the patterns. It did not touch any other carvings along the way, as if it had opened up a path out of thin air.
"Tonight, I'll let the seventh peak know that their Grandpa Hu … is here again!" Hu Zi patted his chest and laughed loudly.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He crouched down and looked at the pictures on the ground carefully. After a long while, he lifted his head and looked at the smug Hu Zi. A smile appeared on his face.
"Third senior brother, you're indeed the smartest."
When Hu Zi heard that, he became even more smug and patted Su Ming's shoulder.
"You're my soulmate, youngest junior brother. There's nothing else to say. Tonight, I'll bring you to broaden your horizons. I know a few good places in the seventh summit, but I didn't tell anyone. I didn't even tell Master when he came to me dressed in flowery clothes.
"I've decided. I'll bring you to see Tian Lan Meng. What do you think?" Hu Zi spoke excitedly, but when he saw Su Ming's gaze falling on the pictures on the ground once again, he blinked and did not speak.
"Third senior brother, do you think that if I carve this Rune on armor, will it have the same effect..?" Su Ming mumbled as he stared at the Rune on the ground, and a bright light shone in his eyes.
He came to find Hu Zi because of this. The idea was originally a little vague, but it started when he saw Hu Zi creating the Rune that reflected the seventh summit. He had mumbled something that Zi Che did not hear, and the gist of it was that he wanted to build the Rune more securely the next time.
This gave Su Ming an inspiration and an incredibly bold idea appeared in his heart. It might be a little ridiculous, but Su Ming could not give up on the temptation that would come with success.
That was why he had come to have a chat with Hu Zi. However, when he saw the pattern on the ground, this thought became even clearer in his mind.
'Carve it on armor?' Hu Zi was momentarily stunned. He scratched his head, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head.
"That won't do. I don't have the materials for that. Besides …" Hu Zi frowned and paused halfway through his sentence before he fell into deep thought.
"Third senior brother." Su Ming stood up and shifted his gaze away from the pictures on the ground to look at Hu Zi.
"I need some pictures of the Mountain Protection Rune, from simple to complicated. I'll have to trouble you with this, senior brother."
Hu Zi was still frowning. When he heard Su Ming's words, he nodded and patted his chest. "Alright, I'll help you prepare it over the next few days. But youngest junior brother, I think it'll be a little difficult for you to complete your idea. We don't have the materials for that. Besides, these Mountain Protection Runes can change, they're not inanimate objects … Even if you carve them on them, they won't change."
Su Ming smiled faintly and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Hu Zi. While Hu Zi was still puzzled, he walked out of his cave abode.
Hu Zi thought about it for a long time in his cave abode. He still felt that it would be difficult to do, but since his youngest junior brother needed it, then he would naturally do his best to prepare it. However, when his gaze fell on the pictures on the ground, his eyes immediately lit up. He no longer thought about how Su Ming would carve the Runes on the armor. Instead, he rubbed his hands excitedly.
'Darn it, tonight, I'll let the seventh summit know that I'm here again! They're too much! They're too heartless! ' Hu Zi brought out his wine gourd and took a big swig from it. He started giggling like an idiot as he imagined what he was going to do at night.
As Su Ming left Hu Zi's cave abode, he kept running through the idea that made his heart pound in excitement. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that it was possible.
'This requires fine control …' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. As he walked, he suddenly came to a halt. His gaze fell on Bai Su, who was standing in the distance with a smug and arrogant look on her face.
"Su Ming, I've finished drawing!" Bai Su had been waiting for a long time. When she finally saw Su Ming return, she immediately pointed at the ice rock by her side and spoke in a clear voice.
Su Ming swept his gaze over and saw that his appearance on the ice rock had been changed. His face was a mess, and there was a huge shell on his back. There was also Bai Su's drawing on the ice wall beside him. She had drawn a turtle with its neck stretched out.
That turtle looked alive, and the expression in its eyes was especially similar to Su Ming's.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. Once he got closer, he took a look and nodded.
"Not bad. Continue." Once he finished speaking, he walked past Bai Su calmly and left into the distance.
Bai Su was momentarily stunned. Su Ming's calmness made her angry once again, and she ran towards him once again.
"Hey, I'm drawing you!"
"I know." Su Ming did not slow down. He continued moving forward and walked up the stairs.
"Do you think I look like it?!" Bai Su refused to give in.
"No." Su Ming's tone was flat.
"If you don't look like it, then how can you say that my drawing is not bad? In my eyes, my drawing is very similar to yours." Bai Su ran quickly and barely managed to keep up with Su Ming.
"That's why I asked you to continue drawing." Su Ming returned to the platform outside his cave abode. Just as he was about to enter, Bai Su's furious voice came from behind him.
"Su Ming, what's the meaning of this? I dressed up like this just like you told me to and you agreed to teach me how to draw, but the day is almost over. What did you teach me?" Bai Su stood on the platform and glared at Su Ming.
"You still don't look like it." Su Ming turned around and looked at Bai Su.
"How so?" Bai Su immediately asked.
"Her expression doesn't look like it. She wouldn't be so noisy," Su Ming said coldly.
Bai Su stared at Su Ming. After a long while, she closed her eyes. When she opened them once again, she had walked to the edge of the platform and had her back turned towards Su Ming. She looked at the land in the distance and lifted her hands to tie up her hair once again. Once she tore open her collar, she revealed the fur at her collar, making it look as if there was a ball of soft fur wrapped around it.
Once she was done, she lowered her head and tore off a large piece of her long dress. As the pieces of her dress were blown away by the wind, the tight long pants under her dress and the fur boots on her feet were revealed.
She then turned around and pursed her lips as she looked at Su Ming. The disgust in her eyes was no longer there, replaced by a gentleness. The two braids on her shoulders swayed as she turned around, causing a few strands of her hair to float before her eyes.
A hint of wildness abruptly appeared on Bai Su's face, her clothes, and her face. At that moment, snow fell from the wind, and some of it landed on her hair.
Yet it could not hide the wildness in her eyes and the gentleness within them. That gaze made Su Ming fall into a daze once again.
The wind and snow became stronger and blew between her and Su Ming. Everything around them seemed to have fallen silent. Only the falling snow and the intersecting gazes could be heard.
"Su Ming, you're back … Do you still remember what you promised me..?" A gentle voice echoed in the air and seemed to have fused together with the snow, causing Su Ming to fall silent.
A smile appeared on Bai Su's face. That smile was very clear, very beautiful, and very happy. She looked at Su Ming and her laughter sounded like silver bells. She took a light step backwards and left the platform. She did not Transcend and neither did she have anything under her feet. She fell rapidly towards the canyons under the ninth summit.
"Su Ming, you're back … but I … left …"
Bai Su's body continued falling. A hint of wildness appeared in her eyes. She did not want to accept defeat. She wanted to take a gamble! As she fell rapidly, she kept looking at the platform of the ninth summit that was getting further and further away from her. Only when she felt something soft under her body and wind blew towards her, causing her falling body to gradually slow down did a prideful smile appear on Bai Su's face once again.
"I won on the first day!"
Su Ming turned around quietly and walked back into his cave abode. The moment he turned around, he mumbled softly.
"Her arrogance is also very similar to yours …"
