254 Omen (1/2)

On his way back to the ninth summit, Su Ming stopped twice.

The first time he stopped because he saw Han Fei Zi. This was the first time he met this woman ever since she entered Freezing Sky Clan. They met each other’s gazes for a brief time in midair when they ran into each other.

Han Fei Zi was not alone. There was a man and woman following behind her. Su Ming was familiar with them. They were Chen Yu Bing and Xu Ru Yue. Right now, they were moving several steps behind Han Fei Zi. Judging by their respectful looks, it was clear that they had become her followers.

Han Fei Zi still looked as cold as ever. Her cold demeanor may seem alluring, but the cold attitude coming from within her spirit itself was not something that everyone could accept.

She wore a green dress and her hair fell around her shoulders. Her expression was indifferent, and nothing much changed within her when she saw Su Ming.

”Greetings, uncle master Su.”

”Greetings, uncle master Su.”

Behind Han Fei Zi, Chen Yu Bing and Xu Ru Yue’s expressions immediately became complicated when they saw Su Ming. Yet it quickly turned into respect. They were clearly aware of the difference between themselves and Su Ming, and were shocked by how quickly Su Ming had risen up the ranks of Freezing Sky Clan during the past six months since he joined the school.

It could be said that Su Ming’s battle against Si Ma Xin made his name sweep through the Great Frozen Plains like a typhoon. While his name might not have run through the entire land like thunder, it was close enough.

He nodded towards Chen Yu Bing and Xu Ru Yue before casting Han Fei Zi a glance. When he saw that the woman did not seem like she was in the mood to talk, he left.

Yet at the very moment Su Ming moved, Han Fei Zi’s cold voice appeared languidly. When her words fell into his ears, he had the feeling that his entire body was covered in ice. Her voice held no hint of emotion, and it was so cold that perhaps it could even make a sweltering hot day cool down in an instant.

The tone of her voice was enough to tell just how cold the woman’s heart, body, and spirit were.

”Am I like a scorpion that you would avoid me as such?”

Su Ming turned back and cast a profound gaze towards Ha Fei Zi. Not only did the woman’s power increase, her presence had also become drastically different from when she was still in Han Mountain City.

”Senior brother Chen, senior sister Xu.”

Han Fei Zi did not bother about Su Ming’s gaze but instead turned to look at the two people of the same discipleship and the same summit following behind her. Chen Yu Bing and Xu Ru Yue lowered their heads. It was clear that they had not just become Han Fei Zi’s followers since they clearly knew the meaning behind Han Fei Zi’s words, even though she had not even finished her sentence. They quickly moved back until they were 1,000 feet away before they stopped and waited at the spot.

”We are acquaintances, there’s no need for you to speak like this,” Su Ming said calmly as he looked at Han Fei Zi.

His initial meeting with this woman was when he entered the inn the first time he went to Han Mountain City and had just initially arrived in the Land of South Morning. At that time, she had seemed like she was shrouded by fog and Su Ming could only look at her silence. Her power and status were not things that he could compare himself to at that time.

Even their subsequent meetings had been as such, including the first time they battled against each other. Su Ming had been extremely careful at that time.

”When I went to the fourth summit and met my Master, I isolated myself. Sometimes, I would come out, but I never left the mountain…” Han Fei Zi turned her head around and looked at the mountain ranges in the distance as she spoke coldly.

Her voice may have been cold, but her words spoke of an intention to try and explain oneself.

Su Ming was silent and did not speak.

”I saw your battle against Si Ma Xin.” Han Fei Zi’s gaze fell upon Su Ming’s body. ”After that, I went into isolation once again so that the distance between us would not widen!”

Su Ming still remained silent.

Han Fei Zi’s words faltered and she no longer spoke. The two of them remained silent for a while longer before Su Ming turned around and walked into the distance.

Han Fei Zi looked at Su Ming’s back and when she spoke once again, her voice still did not contain any hint of emotion, it was still cold and indifferent. ”Do you remember the matter we discussed when we were in Han Mountain’s hidden grounds?”

”I remember.” Su Ming did not turn back as he answered calmly.

”Starting from tomorrow, I will continue training in the skills my Master gave me in isolation. I will come out of isolation before the start of Sky Mist Shaman Hunt… During it, I would like you to come with me to a place.”

Su Ming mulled over it for a moment and did not refuse her.

”Alright.”

”You will be interested in the place. That place is related to the other worlds…”

Han Fei Zi spoke softly, and as she spoke, her gaze was trained on Su Ming’s retreating back, but she could not see a hint of change in that back. He was still walking away calmly and gradually disappeared from her sight.

On his way back to the ninth summit, Su Ming stopped for the second time was small distance away from the ninth summit. Just as he was about to enter the mountain, his footsteps faltered.

”Just 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 girl’s voice came from behind Su Ming.

That voice was unlike Fang Cang Lan’s gentleness, not alike to Tian Lan Meng’s gracefulness, and neither was it like Han Fei Zi’s coldness, but there was a melodious lilt and provocative tone within that voice that the other three lacked.

Su Ming frowned, turned around, and saw a girl in purple standing a few hundred feet away from him. That girl was incredibly beautiful and filled with a wild and untamed air, especially her eyes, which were trained on Su Ming at the moment. There was wariness and scorn within her eyes.

This person had a petite face that always appeared in Su Ming’s memories. She also had a face that caused him to act on an impulse he did not want to suppress several months ago.

This person… was Bai Su.
