Zi Che shuddered slightly. He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he reopened them, there was a brilliant glint in his eyes. The freedom he had not felt for a long time made him take a deep breath. When he looked at Su Ming, he saw Su Ming looking at him calmly. Under that gaze, Zi Che quickly composed himself and wrapped his fist in his palm before bowing towards Su Ming.
"Master …"
"Just call me uncle master. I've released you for 10 days. You must return within 10 days," Su Ming interrupted Zi Che's words. At some unknown point in time, Zi Che had started addressing Su Ming as his master. When he heard Su Ming's words, Zi Che fell silent for a moment before he voiced his obedience.
"Uncle master, I don't need 10 days. Three to five days will do. I'll take my leave now." Zi Che took a few steps back and turned into a long arc that charged into the sky. He circled once in the sky before charging towards the horizon.
Once Zi Che left, Su Ming's gaze fell on Bai Su, who was hanging upside down by the side. He lifted his right hand and swung it. Bai Su's body immediately turned around and landed on the ground. At the same time, the drawing board and charcoal also flew towards Bai Su and floated beside her.
"Su Ming, you …" Bai Su might have been hanging upside down for a long time, but she was still very angry. She looked like an angry lion cub. She might not have bared her teeth and claws, but judging by her expression, it was about the same.
"If you continue making noise, I'll chase you down the mountain today! I'll never tell you what I drew. " A hint of a smile appeared on Su Ming's lips. His words were not loud, but it made Bai Su glare at him angrily for a long time before she turned her head around and let out a harrumph.
During these three months, Su Ming had found Bai Su's weakness. The girl's curiosity was far greater than that of a normal person's. She wanted to know what Su Ming had been drawing during the past few months, and with that in mind, Su Ming had the upper hand when he came into contact with Bai Su.
When he saw that Bai Su was no longer bothering him, Su Ming did not continue trying to change the Divine General Armor. Instead, he brought out his drawing board and focused on copying the Golden Roc's strokes.
Time passed by, and soon, the sun set in the west. The last rays of the sun shone on the sky, creating a beautiful sight. Bai Su could no longer hold back her curiosity. She frowned and walked to Su Ming's side, watching him drawing on the blank drawing board.
But after looking for a long time, she still couldn't see anything, just like before.
"Humph, pretending to be mysterious!" Bai Su mumbled in her heart and cast a glance at Su Ming. His face was incredibly focused, and for some unknown reason, Bai Su found him to be even more despicable.
However, it was just hateful. There was no longer the contempt and disdain in her eyes from a few months ago.
Bai Su didn't even notice this subtle change.
When dusk passed and the sky gradually darkened, Bai Su rolled his eyes and let out a few dry coughs.
"I know what you're drawing."
"So this is what you drew …"
"Not bad. Your drawing is alright, but there's something wrong with this part." As Bai Su spoke, she quickly pointed at a corner of Su Ming's drawing board with her right hand.
"It's a pity that there's a flaw here, and the overall feeling of the painting is gone … But if you change the brush strokes here, it'll be better."
"And here, the painting here isn't that good either." Bai Su looked as if she had already seen through what Su Ming was drawing and continued giving pointers for a long time with the air of an elder.
Yet Su Ming remained like a block of wood, as if he did not hear her. He continued drawing.
She might have gotten used to Su Ming turning a blind eye to her, but Bai Su still became angry once again. She had a feeling that she had practically brought out all the anger in her life during the past three months. This was something that was rarely seen in her life.
'You're so full of yourself! Arrogant and conceited! Pretending to be mysterious, pretending to be deaf and dumb! Bastard, bastard, bastard!' Bai Su stomped her feet and turned around. Just as she was about to leave, she turned around and looked at Su Ming, who was still focused on drawing with a calm expression on his face. Bai Su glared at him angrily for a long time before she picked up her drawing board and sat down. She used charcoal to paint on the board for a while, and only then did the anger on her face turn into a smile, but she would still occasionally glare at Su Ming.
Eventually, when the sky turned completely dark, Bai Su placed her drawing board before Su Ming and let out another harrumph before she turned around and went down the mountain.
Before she left, a smug look appeared on her face once again. On her way back to the seventh summit, her lips curled up into a happy smile as she looked forward to the next day.
'Let him bully me again. I'll go ask him tomorrow whether he saw my drawing and what he thought of it.' Bai Su placed her hands behind her back and walked happily on the summit. Her hair, which was tied up by the red grass rope, danced in the air. The two braids by her ears also swayed as she walked, making her look incredibly adorable.
The smile on her lips and the smug look on her face caused Bai Su to possess a completely different beauty compared to a few months ago.
"Ah, is this little sister Su Su? Come, let me see what made you so happy." A coquettish laugh came from behind the stairs Bai Su walked up to the seventh summit. Along with it came a girl who was about the same age as Bai Su.
The girl was also very pretty. As she laughed, her face was filled with playfulness.
Bai Su quickly turned her head around. When she saw the girl, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, but soon, she glared at her.
"Chen Chan Er, you're younger than me by a few days. How dare you call yourself my big sister? I'm older than you and I joined the sect earlier than you. I'm the senior sister." As Bai Su spoke, she also laughed and started fooling around with Chen Chan Er.
"Alright, alright, alright. You're the senior sister, alright … Ah, stop fooling around, I'm ticklish …"
"That's what you get for speaking so strangely just now."
Playful sounds mixed with bell-like laughter came from the stairs of the seventh summit. The two girls fooled around for a long time before they chased each other up the mountain.
At the mountainside, Chen Chan Er patted her chest and calmed her breathing before she said to Bai Su with a smile, "Su Su, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I still have to go look for our eldest senior sister."
"Alright, I'm going back to my cave abode as well." Bai Su's cheeks were still flushed from fooling around just now. She smiled and nodded.
Chen Chan Er was just about to leave when she hesitated and looked at Bai Su.
"Su Su … I heard that you've been going to the ninth summit for the past few months?"
Bai Su was momentarily stunned. She cast Chen Chan Er a glance but did not speak.
"And I saw you going to the ninth summit with my own eyes once again. You went there to look for that detestable Su Ming." When Chen Chan Er mentioned Su Ming's name, disgust appeared on her face.
"Su Su, that Su Ming is really annoying. He's arrogant and thinks that he can swagger around just because he tied with senior brother Si Ma. What sort of person is he? I really hate people like that.
"Don't be fooled by his flowery words. I know this sort of person the best. He …" When Chen Chan Er saw that Bai Su did not speak, she continued speaking.
Yet before she could finish, she was interrupted by Bai Su.
"Alright, he's not as disgusting as you say." Bai Su had said those words instinctively, but once she finished speaking, she was also stunned.
She could say things like arrogance, conceit, and swagger around, but when she heard others say those things about Su Ming, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Su Su, you have to believe me. I know him better than you do. I once went to summon him on behalf of eldest senior sister, but I went a few times in a row. I've seen this person's face far too clearly!
"I'm guessing that he's just a sweet talker in front of you and talks a lot, but in truth, he's nothing compared to big brother Si Ma. Big brother Si Ma is the one who truly treats you well." Chen Chan Er sighed softly and looked at Bai Su.
Bai Su fell silent. The moment she heard Si Ma Xin's name, a dazed look appeared before her eyes. Si Ma Xin's figure seemed to appear faintly in her mind, but she could not see his face clearly.
In fact, during the past few months, she had wanted to see Si Ma Xin practically every single day, but gradually, she only thought of him once every few days. Now, it had been more than a month since Si Ma Xin's name had appeared in her mind.
"Su Su, wake up. This Su Ming isn't a good person. He's too arrogant. He doesn't even respect eldest senior sister. He's only been in the school for a short period of time and he's already like this. This kind of behavior won't last for long. When Sky Mist Shaman Hunt starts, with his personality and the way he acts, he'll definitely die!" The moment Chen Chan Er said those words, she suddenly stopped speaking, because Bai Su had lifted her head to look at her, and there was an aloof look in her eyes.
"Let's not talk about the fact that I have my own reasons for going to the ninth summit. This arrogant, conceited, and insufferably arrogant person you said will definitely die didn't say a single sweet talker to me. When we're together, I'm the one talking most of the time, and he's always silent.
"In fact, most of the time, he's immersed in his own world, and it's difficult for others to enter it. "On the contrary, Si Ma … big brother Si Ma is completely different from him." The complicated feelings in Bai Su's heart caused her to not finish her sentence. Instead, she turned around, and just as Chen Chan Er was about to say something, she left.
Not long after Bai Su left, Su Ming slowly put down his right hand and lifted his head to look at the sky. A frown gradually appeared between his brows.
'Something's still missing … I've been copying it for three months, but I still haven't gained much epiphany. It's as if there's a barrier that I can't break from the Golden Roc Spreading Its Wings …
'What's missing..?' As Su Ming thought about it, his gaze naturally fell on the drawing board Bai Su had placed down before she left.
The spot she placed it at was ingenious. It was a spot where Su Ming could see it the moment he lifted his head.
As he looked at the drawing board, Su Ming smiled.
Bai Su's talent in drawing was terrible. Most of the time, people had to guess what she drew, but this time, her drawing was very simple. There was a girl with her hands on her hips on the drawing board. She lifted her leg and with a smug look on her face, she kicked a pig that had its eyes closed and its head lowered on a cliff.
By the looks of it, she wanted to kick the pig into the cliff.
On the pig's head, Su Ming's name was written crookedly.
Su Ming shook his head. He was about to avert his gaze when his eyes suddenly lit up. He stared at Bai Su's drawing board and the light in his eyes gradually grew brighter. It was as if bolts of lightning were flashing through his mind.
'Could it be … that what's missing is …'
