🕑 Added 2022-11-08 06:32:18 +0000 UTCTime passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, already half a month has gone by. Even though the situation outside is volatile, the Obliteration Sword Tower remains quiet and peaceful, like a hidden paradise.
They are not interested in the Divine Tree in the ocean, let alone in the so-called Immortal Palace. Firstly, they have self-awareness. With their current strength, if the Obliteration Sword Tower participates in that power struggle, they will undoubtedly bring about their own demise. Secondly, the cultivators in the Tower are all very confident in themselves. They have always felt that they already possess the best sword techniques and the best sword arrays— they just need to work hard to learn them, and they don't need to go and fight for the so-called treasures.
The proper way is to be steadfast in training, and be stable and sure-footed in advancing your cultivation base.
Su Tingyun once asked about the opportunities in the Immortal Palace, and was reprimanded by Zhan Yu.
"Why do you have to invite those troubles? As long as you cultivate properly, and keep your sword well, you can succeed. All that excitement, don’t involve yourself."
Before, when they went up there to broaden their horizons, everyone was still abiding by the rules at that time, and their lives shouldn’t have been in danger. Nowadays the situation is quickly spiraling out of control. A Sect like theirs can’t even fight against a single finger of the others, even if the whole nest comes out. Why bother to put themselves in danger?
Later, Su Tingyun stops mentioning this matter. It is still uncertain if that small box is the key to the Immortal Palace, not to mention that the box is with Xiao Mei, it belongs to her, and she gets to decide what to do with it. In addition, who knows how long Xiao Mei needs to cultivate to hide the radiance of her Qiankun array eyes? She still has to cultivate properly, not get distracted by this and that.
By the next time she gives a present for Big Bai, she can still go to the Kunlun Divine Tree, since it’s on the way, and ask Su Lijiang if he still plans to continue Du Xizhi's apprenticeship.
When Su Tingyun prepares gifts for Big Bai, everyone knows that she has some sort of young pet, which has been trapped in the seal without a way to come out, yet it hasn’t turned bad. It sounds very pitiful.
As a result, the members of the Obliteration Sword Tower come one after another to contribute.
Third Uncle gives her a lot of pretty trinkets, bells, pinwheels, silver-colored garlands— with their hollow silver decorative flowers meticulously carved and lifelike.
The Sect Master helps to whip up patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish using grass, and also embroiders a cloak with a pattern of an orchid tongue grass. The orchid tongue grass on the cloak is based on Little Bai, so the leaves are huge and round, and one can even see the plumpness.
Master Zhan Yu cuts up a tender bamboo to make a bamboo flute, and Xiao Budian also contributes a rattle-drum. Even the icy Little Uncle, seeing everyone doing their best, also silently stuffs two wooden figures on Su Tingyun, right when she and Bai Chengyu are about to leave.
To be specific, it’s her and Big Bai. It’s probably based on her description, so the woodcarving is a woman leaning on Big Bai. Though Big Bai looks finely crafted, her silhouette is indistinct. Still, Su Tingyun is incredibly happy, and she’s itching to take this wooden carving for herself.
Bai Chengyu escorts Su Tingyun to the Wuliang Mountain. Su Tingyun put the things everyone prepared on the defensive array plate Bai Chengyu gave her, and leaves a short note inside, stating that these are the tokens of everyone's thoughts, and Big Bai should be good and play with them with Bai Su.
It doesn't matter if Big Bai doesn't know how to read, Bai Su is down there, isn't he?
After throwing the array plate down, Su Tingyun stretches her neck and looks down there for a while. Unfortunately it’s pitch black and she couldn't see anything at all.
...
At the bottom of the cliff, after Big Bai catches the plate. It jumps and rushes to Bai Su's side and spits it out.
Bai Su frowns and breaks the formation. Once the formation plate cracks open, he pours out a pile of junk and a note from it.
The writing on the note is simply appalling.
A gift from everyone in the Obliteration Sword Tower to Big Bai? It's all junk children’s toys...
Laughable…
Bai Su's eyelids twitch, and he inexplicably feels a little guilty. But then, when he turns his head, he sees Big Bai's foolish look, and the corners of his mouth quirks up. He doesn’t know what to say.
Seeing those random things, Big Bai’s entire pile is powdered!
It first fiddles with the trinkets, then it turns its complete attention on the cloak on the ground.
The cloak has a white base, with a rippled gold edging. It has a collar of beast fur from a Lavender Spirit Beast, inlaid around the neckline. The back of the cape is embroidered with a large orchid tongue grass made with green silk thread. In that way, it looks remarkably like Su Tingyun's Little Bai.
It tilts its head and looks at Little Bai on the cape, then lets out a cheerful sound.
Big bai: "Chirp."
Every time he nurtures a little affection, it will be immediately be defeated in a flash. This kind of feeling is really hard to describe.
Bai Su is silent, and the small orchid tongue grass beside him stares unblinkingly at the big orchid tongue grass on the cloak, which gives Bai Su feel a strange consolation from the camaraderie.
Xiao Lan: I also miss Little Bai.
That noisy and annoying orchid tongue grass is unexpectedly and inexplicably popular.
[Stealing shamelessly]
