"Chu Xue, thank you." He spoke sincerely.

I was a little displeased, "Lin Xin, what are we? We are friends, how can I thank you? If you thank me, I won't be able to thank you all. "

He lowered his gaze. "Friend, good friend."

"Yeah, I, Ni Chu Xue, was really lucky to have this kind of fellow countryman, and also from the same trade, so how could they be close friends?" I squinted my eyes and smiled.

He looked at the wound on his foot, and his eyes were filled with anger. For a moment, there was nothing he could say.

Shangguan Yu's voice came from outside, "Ni Chuxue, went to the Yellow Mountain."

"Oh." I replied, "Lin Xin, look for your Heavenly Jewels! Hehe, I will go to the Huang Mountain to draw, and when we come back, we will be back with great rewards."

He looked up and smiled at me. "Don't worry about me."

This time, it's Shangguan Xue and I who are the only ones who are here. Sometimes, when painting something, we don't have to go to the highest point.

The weather was very good, birds' song and flowers' fragrance filled the air. Standing on the hillside, looking at the thousands of tall pines, she was truly impressed.

I gently grinded the ink, and Shangguan Bing helped me to take out some paper and put it on the shelf. "Chu Xue, why is there so little paper today?"

I slapped my head. "Aiya, I forgot about that stack of Xuan paper. What do I do? Just these three, I can't draw any."

"Then we'll go back after the painting is done, and we won't fight for a while," he said, sitting down leisurely and squinting at the pine trees.

I laughed and walked up to him: "Shangguan Bing, how about I trouble you a bit?"

"Not good." He turned away.

I pulled down my head. "Shangguan, we have a lot to draw today, and we'll have to go up there later. I told Lin Xin that we'll let him see the whole picture from different angles in three days. Otherwise, we won't be able to finish it."

"Hmph," he coldly snorted. "I didn't agree to that."

"Shangguan, go on. After three days, I won't have much to do. I'll draw you a yellow mountain and a sea of clouds, the direction you pointed to and whatever you want to draw, I'll draw." It didn't matter if the painting was that of an ox or a horse. When I go down the mountain again, huu, I really can't take it anymore. It's exhausting.

Shangguan Liu shook her head, "You owe me the painting."

"Shangguan, you can go somewhere else to play in three days."

"I don't like it."

Ai, why is it that he's so hard to speak? Why does he come out when he doesn't like to play.

He didn't go there, and even he didn't go to the drugstore near the Yellow Mountain often. He seemed to be staring at me every single day, and even Lin Xin got closer to me.

It was like a wolf watching a child, afraid of being robbed.

Shangguan said I was a coward, but he was still the same.

I gradually got used to it, but now that he didn't want to go down the mountain, I had to think of something. Little Jing was fine, but he listened to me the most. I miss him so much. I wonder how he's doing now.

It's so funny that a young him would say he wants to marry me. I don't know, little Jing kept this sentence in her heart.

When Shangguan Bing saw me smile, she felt baffled. "What are you laughing at?"

"I won't tell you." I chuckled and continued grinding the ink.

"Oh." He did not fall for the trap, but quietly answered and did not pursue the matter.

Sigh, it's not good to be too smart, it's not easy to be tricked. I'll just say it straight out: "Shangguan Xue, let me tell you something. I'm in Qin Huai, and I'm saying that I'm going to marry my man, it's really pretty, with red lips, white teeth, and a bright mind. Also, he likes painting, so I like going out with him the most."

He knew I was going to kidnap him, but he narrowed his eyes. "Who is it?"

"I don't have enough drawing paper." I smiled at him.

"Ghost girl." He scolded in a low voice, "It's not impossible for me to go down the mountain and get it for you. I don't want to hear your words. Just say it directly."

I secretly called him a fox, so why should I?

"Shangguan, your family background is too good."

"So what?" he retorted.

"That's not good. Which good family doesn't have three wives and four concubines? I don't like this kind of appearance." What about the princess, too? This matter would not be let go just like that.

The corner of his lips curled up into a smile. "Three wives and four concubines spend quite a bit of money."

I was stunned. I smiled, feeling a bit warm in my heart. I turned my head to look at him. "Shangguan, go. Go, I understand."

He looked at me deeply. "Is that all? "Don't give me a clear word."

I blushed. Of course I knew what he wanted to hear.

He lowered his head and asked, "Is my father staying with you? Where can his daughter go? " He was so quiet that he couldn't even hear himself clearly, and his ears were on fire.

He chuckled. "Alright, you can draw it slowly. "Be careful, there's a dagger at the side of the water bag to protect yourself. There's yellow light all around, there won't be any snakes."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and go. Otherwise, I'll be done painting in a while." What would happen? I'm not the only one on this yellow mountain. I'm here for a tour of the great rivers and mountains.

As he walked, he mumbled to himself, "Raising the older ones, you can't run away from the younger ones. That's a principle."

I was so dizzy I wanted to grab a rock and throw it at him.

Looking at his departing figure, he felt a smile rise in his heart. It was faint, yet deep. It was as soft as April tea, clear and sweet.

He took a deep breath and started drawing again. The beauty of the Yellow Mountain, no matter where one looked at it, was a magnificent painting. This was like a river, swallowing everything in its path.

Fortune of the East Sea, longevity than Nanshan, is the best blessing of the language, how can I forget.

I sank into my own studio, sketching the note. The pine tree was a fine painting, and it could not be done quickly. Even the thin needle of leaves had to be slowly drawn out.

At some point, there was a strong masculine aura around me. I raised my head and saw a pair of eagle-like eyes. They were so dark that I didn't dare to look straight at them.

I nodded and moved away. He was the domineering person that they had met several times.

"Your painting is very beautiful." He opened his mouth and spoke in a strange voice.

I smiled. "Thank you."

"You're called Ni Chuxue?" He looked at me with interest.

How did you know my name? I was curious and didn't say anything.

I don't know him. He doesn't have the aura of a normal person and I don't want to get involved in too many things. Sometimes, the praise in a man's eyes isn't a good thing.

You even know my name, so you must have investigated me and sent someone to follow us.

He squeezed in beside me, and I stepped aside. He stood at the easel looking at the picture of the thousand-year-old pine tree, and his eyes slowly filled with admiration, as if what he was looking at wasn't impolite, but powerful.

I'm really shocked.

After a long while, he looked at me and said, "This drawing method of the pine tree is really familiar."

"Yes." I'm scared.

He looked at me. "Yes, I've seen this picture before. There are a lot of similarities."

"Hur hur, how interesting. This is the first time I've heard someone talk to someone like this." I looked at him coldly.

His eyes were too deep, and he laughed lightly, "Of course I have seen it. It's not like I'd forget to write each line, right?" Then he began to discuss me seriously.

Is he harboring evil intentions? What is he trying to do? I have no money, no color.

Calm down, Shangguan Xue is not here, and I can't be distracted. "Many people say that."

He laughed loudly, that laughter came from his chest and lungs, even the quiet air was trembling slightly. He looked at my painting with some meaning, "It's the method of Qin Huai Yin's family."

I looked at him with wide eyes. "How do you know?"

He clapped his hands and a person walked out from the corner of the mountain. He respectfully called out, "Master."

"Send a fine piece of paper to this Miss Ni."

"Yes, Master." The person turned around, and before long, he was holding a piece of paper wrapped in silk cloth in both hands.

He held it out to me with one hand. "Use good Xuan paper and draw the best rivers and mountains."

I shook my head. "I don't know you."

"Why do we have to get acquainted when we meet? It can be considered fate." His eyes were brimming with laughter. That deep and serene glow was somewhat frightening. "A treasured blade for a hero, red powder for a beauty."

I looked at the pine tree and smiled as I shook my head. "You really gave the wrong person, and that red powder was a gift to a beautiful woman, I am sure you are willing to give me, and I am giving you the right paper, you have never met me before, although you are not an ordinary person, maybe you have the attitude of a hero, you don't have to give it to me, I don't have this kind of feelings, I don't have this kind of liking."

"It's really different. Keep it, you'll need it." With a low laugh, he placed the piece of paper beside the stone, glanced at my pine map again, then turned and left.

It was really strange, he didn't know what to say.

I scratched my head, a little confused. I looked at the paper on the floor and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"My name is Thousand Li." As he walked, his voice was deep and powerful.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I won't take paper, but look at it." I laughed. Gently walking through the floating borders, his hands were like floating in the sea of clouds.

He turned around, and I put my hand on the paper, and in no time at all, it was gone.

The expression of the person with the saber changed.

As for the thousand li, they were not angry. Instead, they mysteriously said, "This piece of paper will return to your hands."

I stuck out my tongue. "What a pity. Why didn't I set it on fire?" What kind of person is he? For some reason, why did he give me this paper?

"Just you wait." he whispered, and walked away without looking back.

Leaving me in a daze, how muddle-headed, I didn't provoke him right?

Well, there was no need for me to spend my time with this mysterious person. Some people had money, while others had a temper that made them look down on others, just like Shangguan Yushi. However, he had changed a lot of his habits.
