âOf course I know! His whole body gives off a terrifying feeling of coldness, and he dresses completely in white. His hair is so long it nearly reaches his ankles, and he always wears this icy cold mask on his face. Heâs also fairly tallâŠâ Ning Xuemo described the Ancestor she once saw in the main hall.
The child glanced at her. âDidnât think that you really did see him.â
âThatâs a matter of fact. He did teach me these martial arts.â
âUh, from what I know, the Ancestor doesnât receive female disciples. You can really lie without blinking.â
âEverything has an exception, right?â
âHe doesnât have any plans to make an exception for this.â The childâs tone was very certain.
âIt seems like you know him quite well. Well then, since youâre so familiar with him, you surely know what he looks like. Can you tell me what he looks like under that mask?â Feeling bored from just walking, Ning Xuemo went into gossip mode.
âWhy should I tell you?â The child was uncooperative.
âIn fact, you havenât seen what he really looks like, have you? Hahaha! A little kid boasting. Although, itâs also not weird if you have not. I heard that no one has seen his true face. I reckon he doesnât want anyone to see it. After all, heâs very famous. Everyone worships him like a deity, and he appears very imposing and awe-inspiring. If his face is wrinkled like a dry raisin, it would smash peopleâs image of him. Iâm very understanding.â
The corner of the childâs lips twitched slightly. âWrinkled like a dry raisin?! Slandering him like this behind his back, arenât you afraid heâll punish you for your fault when he gets wind of it? Even if he just casually made a move, it would be enough to annihilate your soul.â
âIâm just speaking the truth. If his face wasnât hard to look at, why would he wear a mask? Since his hair is very beautiful, he must have grew it long because he was afraid others wouldnât be able to see his waterfall of fine black hair, giving the impression that he is very young at first glance.â
The child â...â
This inference was too brilliant. He admitted defeat.
He didnât think that he would once again be arguing with her over an unproductive topic. He glanced at her once more with a smile that wasnât a real smile, then shut his eyes, becoming completely silent.
Ning Xuemo felt that his smile contained a much deeper meaning. However, she was unable to guess the meaning in such a short time.
Although the person in her arms had the appearance of a preschooler, his expression gave out a kind of enigmatic feeling. It made her mind feel cold and her scalp numb...
At first, she still doubted whether he was a ginseng spirit or not. At present, she was almost certain and had no doubt about it, since how could a real little kid be so mature?!
Right now, the full moon in the sky was already moving to the west. Ning Xuemo knew that in about four hours, the sky would brighten again!
At last, she climbed to the top of the small mountain. From there, she was able to gaze down but was then startled!
Below the mountain, there was a big lake. The lakeâs size, shape and peripheric landscape was exactly like the one she just left!
Could it be she went toward the wrong direction?
Ning Xuemo ran to another side of the mountain, then looked below. Her head buzzed!
âEven on this side, the view is exactly the same!â
In the end, this natural workcraft of Gods must be intentionally made based on the principle of a mirror. Did she actually came across a ghost misdirection phenomena?
âHey, whatâs going on with this?â Ning Xuemo wanted to shake the child in her arms.
The childâs eyes were closed and appeared to be already asleep. From the start, he had no interest paying attention to her.
âIf you donât open your eyes, Big Sister will use her knife to redraw your face.â Ning Xuemo threatened him by pressing the blade on his face.
The same as before, the child turned a deaf ear.
Ning Xuemo smiled coldly. âYouâre really not afraid? Hehehe! Then, donât blame me for being cruel. First, Iâll draw a tortoise on your left cheek. Then, Iâll slash a pen*s on your right cheek. I guarantee your beauty will take another turn. Your face will be beyond unique, and people will come and watch in aweâŠâ
