Night of the Broken Gliph

“Firstly, I will decide the plans, and only my plans will be valid. Secondly, gliphers must be totally open about their cultivation skills, gliphs and gliphility.  Lastly, I’ll take no more than ten commissions a month.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyKyPqv2Ek 維尼

“These are the conditions I can currently think of.“ 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5TIcFxMYQ 維尼

Chau Chung nodded his head hard at Chui Yim. He was familiar with stories of geniuses who were difficult to get along with, and he had expected Chui Yim to come up with tough conditions; he even felt that his conditions were easy to meet! This put a gummy smile on Chau Chung’s face.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdKNdnKvqh 維尼

“Brother Chui, it’s a deal. However, those are not the most favourable conditions for you, so I’ll get back to you tomorrow after a discussion.” With a thud, Chau Chung placed a few heavy jugs on Chui Yim’s table. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlsAOIEO3r 維尼

“I overheard you and the third teacher’s conversation before you had the heaven spring fish. Knowing that brother Chui’s a fan of alcohol, here are a few jugs of Wind Knives from the North. Spicy yet minty, it’s a rare wine that I’m gifting brother Chui to celebrate the start of our collaboration,” Chau Chung explained with a sheepish smile.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZjLLwGJm3 維尼

Chui Yim wore a meaningful smile on his face. Just in time. “Thank you so much.” 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPmmCuVKED 維尼

Chau Chung was on cloud nine to see Chui Yim accepting his gift. After a short conversation, Chau Chung left excitedly while Chui Yim waited for Kam Chin Kee’s return in a good mood.  8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0tn4YgOqT 維尼

Evergreen Palace was a palace made up of many palaces.  8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8xuhHyqjb 維尼

If the Evergreen Palace spanned even larger than a huge city, what about South Imperial City, the home to Evergreen palace? 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0lSA33E1Q 維尼

In the Evergreen Palace stood a nameless courtyard. Unlike the Ming Sum Hall,  Almighty Hall and others that were named, this unnamed hall was home to a teenager who did not have any maids or eunuchs  taking care of him. In fact, he was like a prisoner or a tenant of the palace. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04aqeqITUm 維尼

Kam Chin Kee placed all his necessities in the jade but poured them out as something came to his mind. He then tore an old robe of his and transferred all his items into the makeshift bag. Luckily, there was nothing much to be found there. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡuveIrSnb7L 維尼

It suddenly came to his realisation that even the jade was an item that the Evergreen Palace had lent him, unlike the sculptures, tools, and robes that were in his makeshift bag now which all belonged to him. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVo9DDV5TB 維尼

Kam Chin Kee picked up his bag and left the spacious and elegant lonely hall for the Hall of Affairs after so. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0xfNEigFc 維尼

Moon shone brightly in the sky, as well as the halls of the Evergreen Palace. Those that had the means knew about Kam Chin Kee’s movement and rushed over.  8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyWlArqYdv 維尼

It was Lam Ming Sum who took Kan Hang along with her.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFDBAtKgZ3 維尼

She sobbed as she asked, “Brother Chin Kee, where are you going?” 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡprkrLqiK9q 維尼

“It’s time for me to leave where I do not belong to.” Kam Chin Kee smiled thinly. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaQe8ILRrd 維尼

“But what about me?” Lam Ming Sum bursted out into tears hearing him.  8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcc5dLlrDp 維尼

“I’m still in South Imperial City, not going anywhere far.” Kam Chin Kee chuckled in response. “I’m just changing a place to stay. You can get Brother Kan to bring you to me whenever you like.” Kan Hang was known for his amazing nightwalk that allowed him to move at a rapid speed. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv1kB9MDrE 維尼

His responses did not stop Lam Ming Sum’s wails, nor did Lam Ming Sum’s tears stop him in his tracks.  8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQg9kwc30D 維尼

Very soon, a second person rushed up and banged into Kam Chin Kee. “Brother Kam, I won’t let you leave!”   8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMaxO0X9ps 維尼

The person was none other than Lam Mei Mei, who inherited her mother, Lee Fei Yin’s gorgeous look. She looked at Kam Chin Kee with puppy eyes that could melt anyone. “Does Brother Kam bear to leave me in the palace alone?” 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz05Oz68Xt 維尼

Kam Chin Kee laughed as he continued to walk towards the Halls of Affair. “Princess Mei Mei is doted on by the entire palace, how are you lonely?”8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDv06W1lyt 維尼

Lam Mei Mei who disliked Lam Ming Sum did not have the time for her now as she focused on persuading Kam Chin Kee who did not stop in his tracks. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfYPA94gR5 維尼

From afar the Almighty Hall, Lam Zaa only took a glance at Kam Chin Kee.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ61nmToEch 維尼

“Chui Ying, head over. With Mei Meis stubborn character, she might cause unwanted troubles."8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wklJjGqNj 維尼

“Yes, Your Highness.” With that, Yam Chui Ying disappeared on the spot.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkyvWGaRER 維尼

Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee were getting closer these days, yet Lam Zaa never cared to ask about it. To him, they were just kids who had yet to understand how cruel the world was. As the destined future Emperor, the ruler of the world, his sights were set further from what lay in front of his eyes—the world.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nvPZo67lw 維尼

He focused on the white paper in front of him once more and continued scribbling on it, waving his pen like a sword that left deep carvings on a rock. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡOALHJuzTg4 維尼

Determined and focused—this was Lam Zaa now. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VdHNRkJeB 維尼

8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDKM24HDcf 維尼

Seeing that Kam Chin Kee was only one step away from the Halls of Affairs, Lam Mei Mei was like a cat on hot bricks. “Kam Chin Kee, I order you to stop!”8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxfhX7hFiT 維尼

However, she only got a thin smile from Kam Chin Kee who continued in his tracks. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHwr0BDA48 維尼

”Kam Chin Kee, how dare you go against my orders! Take him down!” Lam Mei Mei shouted angrily towards the teenage girl next to her, who did so after hesitation. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡr10pWKl45P 維尼

”Yes, Your Highness,” she responded respectfully.  8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡC20LzBQQ8V 維尼

With that, she transformed into a rainbowed-coloured shadow that resembled a beautiful, smooth long scarf. She had the famous Divine Walk gliph of the Shadowforge Hall tattooed on her, but compared to the mysterious Kan Hang, she emitted elegant yet pitiful vibes.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVe7QqTxUj 維尼

Divine Walk was created by a five-chambered glipher who was the first Emperor Lam’s  right-hand man. That was how long the Shadowforge Hall had been around too. Divine Walk was a powerful movement-attributed gliphility, and its creator was known as the best glipher back then as he was the fastest man in the world.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZGijtb6FR 維尼

Speed was the only thing invincible in the world! 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYGixxWauL 維尼

The girl’s gliphility from Divine Walk was not as mysterious as Kan Hang’s but it had the ability to increase her speed suddenly, boosting her attack. That was why gliphility differed when used by different cultivators. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcEngA13nN 維尼

But a grey figure blocked her way right before she could reach Yam Chui Ying. The figure blocked Kam Chin Kee from the girl’s attack and dispersed right afterwards, revealing the person behind the figure. Kan Hang, who stayed next to Lam Ming Sum, nodded at the scene. This person made use of the speed that Divine Walk granted him well; as he moved, it turned into a shield for him in exchange for the long distance movement. It was a short distance defence that could create shields at different places at the same time.8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI3AlZc7BL 維尼

The person was Yam Chui Ying. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4GMlwu2mi 維尼

”Yam Chui Ying, get lost,” The teen furrowed her brows and spoke up. 8964 copyright protection144ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rIenY4xZR 維尼
