"Xiaoxue, come here," Ji Motian stopped, wiped the long sword in his hand, and looked at Su Xue.
Perhaps because she was immersed in this beautiful illusion, Su Xue did not immediately realize that her master was calling her, as she usually did.
"Ahem, Xiaoxue, come here quickly. Today, your teacher will teach you how to use the Plum Blossom Blade," Ji Motian said in a slightly gentler tone.
Looking at the painting before her, Su Xue felt like a genius, far superior to her brother Su Feng. She mentally berated her brother Su Feng several times before feeling she had done justice to the painting. Her smug expression was as if she had accomplished something earth-shattering, unaware that danger was constantly approaching.
Finally, Ji Motian's long sword swept past Su Xue's ear, startling her so much that she almost dropped her pen. She quickly suppressed her slight smugness, looked up at Ji Motian, and forced a stiff smile. Ji Motian's angry glare nearly made Su Xue's jaw drop. She wiped the smile off her face, hurriedly lowered her head, and frantically gathered up her paper and pen before flying like a shooting star to Ji Motian's side.
She tentatively called out "Master," and when Ji Motian ignored her, she called out again. This time, Ji Motian didn't ignore Su Xue, but instead wore a sour expression and said...
"Don't let this happen again!" he said arrogantly before storming off. He rolled his eyes at Su Xue.
Su Xue muttered to herself, "You stingy guy," and made a face at Ji Motian's back.
"Hurry up and follow!" Ji Motian's scolding voice rang in his ears.
His tone was still cold, but you could tell that his anger had subsided considerably.
Su Xue fawned and ran towards Ji Motian, but Ji Motian was walking exceptionally fast today, and no matter how hard Su Xue chased, she couldn't catch up. Before long, she was panting heavily from exhaustion.
They called out to Ji Motian, but Ji Motian ignored them, determined to give Su Xue a little punishment.
Finally, Su Xue couldn't run anymore and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
Seeing that the punishment was almost over, Ji Motian walked to a spot three or four meters away from Su Xue, took out a water bag, and tossed it to her. Su Xue, seeing that Ji Motian had given her water, knew he had forgiven her. She unscrewed the cap and drank some water, feeling a little better. She got up, closed the cap, walked back to Ji Motian, and returned the water bag to him.
"Well, have you learned your lesson?" Ji Motian took the water bag and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, you've learned your lesson."
"Let's go then."
"Where are we going? We've been walking for quite a while now, we've already left the Purple Bamboo Garden, where are we going now?" Su Xue asked, puzzled.
"In Langgu, there is also a plum grove, about the same size as Suzi Plum Grove, but the plum blossoms there are extraordinary. They are the spirit of Langyue, the Plum Blossom Fairy, who was the leader of all the flower fairies in the previous generation."
Normally, it was the Heavenly Emperor's close attendant, Si Zuo, who managed it. However, for some unknown reason, a fire broke out there on New Year's Eve 30,000 years ago.
After the fire, the Heavenly Emperor never paid any attention to that plum grove again, and it was almost completely burned down.
Only a small plum grove in the southeast corner survived, about the same size as Suko Plum Grove, and before it was destroyed, it couldn't even compare to Suko Plum Grove.
As Ji Motian spoke, he recalled the fire from back then, which was said to have been first discovered by Donghuang Taiyi, the younger brother of the Heavenly Emperor.
Taiyi's dreamlike realm was closest to Langgu, so it was discovered earliest. When Taiyi reported this to the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor seemed to have known all along and ignored it completely.
