Ye Xiu patted Ban Feimeng’s shoulder in relief and said with a smile, “I’m just an owner of a small bookstore. I’m just learning how to draw. I’m no different from anyone else in the world.”
“I don’t need everyone to understand me. Just one or two people who understand me is enough.”
After Ban Feimeng heard this, her breathing quickened. What did she hear?
Did Senior Ye mean that she understood him very well? This was the development of a relationship with huge age gap.
“No, calm down. Ban Feimeng, you must calm down. If you misunderstand, wouldn’t it be very awkward? Senior Ye is playing in the human world. Perhaps he was just being emotional?”
Senior Ye was able to guide Ban Shan meant that he could ascend to the divine realm at any time. Such a person who could be so high and mighty was so modest. This was the state of mind that mages needed. They would not lose their heart because of the change in status.
Ban Feimeng forcefully suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried her best to remain calm. She lowered her head slightly and said, “You’re right. Most people in the world listen to the opinions of others. There’s no need to force them to agree.”
Ye Xiu smiled and nodded his head. He couldn’t help but feel a little proud in his heart.
It was hard not to be happy to have a fan who agreed with him so much.
The two were silent for a moment. The atmosphere was a bit tense. Ye Xiu pointed at the jujube tree in front of the shop and changed the topic, “Let’s not talk about that. I heard your voice from afar. Were you talking to it?”
“This.” Ban Feimeng said somewhat embarrassedly, “Yes, I couldn’t hold it in for a moment.”
Even if Senior restrained his aura and laws to disguise himself as an ordinary person, his physical attributes were definitely much better than an ordinary person’s.
It wasn’t right to chat with the jujube tree without Senior’s permission.
After all, the jujube tree had just gained its wisdom, so it was easy to be influenced.
“It’s okay, I understand.”
Ye Xiu smiled faintly and said with some emotion, “It was good to have someone to talk to and not worry about secrets being leaked. The flowers, trees, or small animals are indeed good listeners.”
“After all, friends sometimes do the same thing as enemies.”
Talking to trees and treating them as comforter might seem silly, but it was a very good way to relieve stress.
If you shared your sadness with a friend, you might turn into a joke in the next second. If you bickered with them, they might say that you were not open-minded enough and that you couldn’t take a joke.
It was completely understandable that Ban Feimeng would do this.
“Senior Ye, thank you for your understanding. Actually, this is my first time experiencing something like this. It feels quite fresh.”
Ban Feimeng was a bit moved. He hadn’t expected Senior to be so understanding.
“Your first time?” Ye Xiu smiled faintly and said, “In the future, you can come over often to talk to it. In any case, it won’t leak any secrets, so it won’t be able to understand anything.”
“Personally, I don’t really like talking to it. It must be bored as well.”
As a descendant of Ban Shan and a customer of the shop, Ye Xiu must had an eye on Ban Feimeng.
Since she liked talking to the date tree, then he would let her talk to it.
From Ye Xiu’s experience in his previous life, talking to the tree about his worries was indeed not bad.
“Really? Thank you!” Ban Feimeng solemnly bowed and asked, “Then can I become friend with your jujube tree? I want to accompany it. I’ll take good care of it.”
Befriend with a jujube tree? Such a naïve and innocent girl.
Ye Xiu smiled and gave his affirmation, “Sure.”
He rarely took care of the jujube tree that stood in front of the store. He only poured water on it when he washed his pen. Of course, one of the reasons he didn’t pay attention to it was that it didn’t have any jujubes. Perhaps a miracle would occur if he took good care of it.
Now that a girl was willing to take care of it, that couldn’t be better.
“Thank you.” Ban Feimeng said happily.
She decided that after she went back today, she would go look for information and see how to nurture a jujube tree that had gained intelligence.
However, there were very few cases of trees gaining intelligence and becoming magical beasts. There were even fewer cases of people nurturing them, so she might not be able to find any results.
Seeing that she was happy, Ye Xiu opened the door and turned around to ask, “Right, did you come here for something?”
Ban Feimeng came back to her senses and shook her head, “No, I just haven’t been here for a long time. I came to see you.”
“I’ll go back first. Next time, I’ll bring something to the jujube tree so that it can grow faster.”
After saying this, Ban Feimeng quickly ran away. The smile on her face couldn’t be hidden.
She had come today to let Senior look at her while she was still growing. But now that she had accepted the task of cultivating the jujube tree. Would she still need to worry about finding excuse to come to the bookstore in the future?
As for the painting, she could take it out until the jujube tree was fully grown and didn’t need her care.
This way, she would have another chance to visit senior.
Senior didn’t accept disciples. This was the best way she could think of.
Seeing Ban Feimeng leave, Ye Xiu couldn’t help but laugh. He opened the door, fed Xiaobai some dog food, and then began to paint.
After taking out his desk, brush, inkstone, Xuan paper and ruler, Ye Xiu began to grind the ink while thinking about what to draw. The popular paintings were mostly landscape ink wash paintings. Perhaps he could try figure painting?
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Just when Ye Xiu was in a trance. Xiaobai, with its four short legs, came running at his feet. It rubbed against his leg and barked.
His eyes stared blankly at the desk. It seemed like he wanted to see Ye Xiu draw.
“You want to see me draw? Do you understand?” Ye Xiu couldn’t help but laugh. He rubbed Xiaobai dog’s head. Then, he picked it up and placed it on a chair next to him. With its height, it could see most of the Xuan paper.
Xiaobai was smart. After it was on the chair, it stopped barking and looked at the Xuan paper.
“Hey, I’ll use you to practice today.”
Ye Xiu’s interest was piqued. He was prepared to give Xiaobai dog a sketch.
As a smart dog, Xiaobai stood quietly. It also helped Ye Xiu reduce the difficulty of drawing it.
As the ink was ground, the brush was dipped in ink and began to dance on the Xuan paper.
As time passed, Ye Xiu first drew a bright moon, followed by a steep cliff. At the top of the cliff, Xiaobai was looking up at the moon, its entire body exuding a king’s aura.
Behind it, there were all kinds of magical beast corpses.
No matter what painting it was, the story behind it was very important element.
What was the point of drawing Xiaobai alone? He drew Xiaobai as a king who had defeated the magical beasts. It was an interesting story of a painting.
When Ye Xiu drew it, Xiaobai’s eyes were wide open, and it didn’t move at all.
After the painting was finished, Xiaobai subconsciously raised its head to look at the sky as if it imitated the pose in the painting. It was very cute.
“Oh, Xiaobai, you want to be the King of the Magical Beast?” Ye Xiu noticed its movements and couldn’t help but tease it, “Then you have to look at the moon more. If your bloodline doesn’t evolve, how can you suppress the magical beast in the Magical Beast Forest?”
“I heard from the city’s mages that magical beasts in ancient times watched the moon to evolve.”
Ye Xiu was just bragging and didn’t take it to heart. He put the paper he had drawn aside and continued to practice.
Xiaobai twitched its ears and continued to maintain its pose..
