Night of the Broken Gliph

Chui Yim entered Chor Chong Hoi’s room to see a young lady taking care of him. At a closer look, he realised it was Chor Sing Hon, mother of Chor Fung, the youngster who nearly ruined Chor Kwong Lan’s life by stabbing him.    8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgjBGh9hs8 維尼

Chor Sing Hon’s expression changed when she saw Chui Yim walk over. She knew that Chui Yim could’ve easily handed her son over to the Northerners but chose not to. It didn’t matter how she perceived Chui Yim; it was undeniable that she owed Chui Yim a favour.8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUaqFYmQsr 維尼

“You are this old man’s…”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpIx8ErfV 維尼

Despite knowing that Chui Yim was often rude, Chor Sing Hon couldn’t help but frown. “He’s my father.”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtWG9qKa3R 維尼

So Chor Fung’s his grandson? Chui Yim’s eyes widened when he heard her. However, he didn’t ask anything else and went to look at Chor Chong Hoi’s situation. The old man’s condition stunned him.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP4k3Grwfb 維尼

Chor Chong Hoi might look like any other old man, skinny and frail, but he was full of energy and vitality. However, his face had now turned yellowish, and his breathing was faint. Instead of feeling his pulse, Chui Yim put his ear to Chor Chong Hoi’s noise before moving to his throat and chest. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qwyhm1yJ 維尼

“This is…” Chui Yim gasped as he tried to recall the medical books he had read.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡliifsa0LXP 維尼

Death energy again?  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwHnKwZezH 維尼

“Why took you guys so long to tell me about this!” Chui Yim shouted furiously. “Sit him up and remove his shirt!”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsWqh1IwEJ 維尼

Chor Sing Hon didn’t know what was going on, but she could tell that things were worse than expected. After multiple incidents, she knew that Chui Yim was a skilled doctor despite his young age. She followed his instructions without hesitation.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNWUtkiiLC 維尼

Chui Yim sat behind Chor Chong Hoi with an ugly expression as he mumbled to himself,  “His condition… Hopefully I’m fast enough.” Spreading his hands, he revealed a set of needles wrapped in an ordinary cloth. When he removed the cover, a gentle light emanating from the needles filled the room. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CbhG4VCXE 維尼

The Thirty-Six Night Lunar Needles—a treasure which once belonged to a supreme gliphist! 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYHgNpXAji 維尼

 Taking a deep breath, Chui Yim picked up a golden needle and turned to Chor Sing Hon. “Leave the room. Do not let anybody in.”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJVFntTtCB 維尼

Chor Sing Hon nodded and cast a worried look at her father. “Wait!” Chui Yim reminded her. “Remember, even the emperor can’t come in! We’re talking about the old man’s life!”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqNc3nr3ec 維尼

“I understand,” Chor Sing Hon replied, worry written all over her face. She immediately rushed to find Chor Koo, another faction leader of the clan.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFHFDdPvKT 維尼

Chor Koo was now the temporary clan leader as Chor Chun Ping still hadn’t returned, and Chor Chong Hoi was in a coma. His expression turned serious when he heard Chor Sing Hon. Unlike Chor Chong Hoi, Chor Koo and his faction backed Chor Huet Zhin’s faction, except he had never publicly shown his support. He also fully supported Chor Chun Ping when he became the new clan leader. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUhp6u2Jfp 維尼

He knew how highly Chor Chun Ping viewed Chui Yim through their conversations, and Chui Yim’s status was further proven when Chor Chong Hoi said that the youngster could represent their clan against the Northerners.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP4zc4pyHg 維尼

Chor Koo heeded Chui Yim’s instruction without hesitation. “Form the Spiral Dragon Formation and secure the room! No one shall enter th room!”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRmTKhwasu 維尼

“Yes sir!”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrVGNAL5jw 維尼

 Mo-Yung Yin exited the transportation gliph formation. He had received a notice from the Evergreen Palace to come and treat Wong Pak and Chor Chong Hoi. Even though he was in the divine rank, he couldn’t refuse such a request, especially when the South was currently going through rough times.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmux5ewvMT 維尼

Treating the both of them wasn’t particularly difficult.. The thing was, the Chor Clan reminded him of the hateful kid. What angered him further was that the assassin he had paid for failed.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPAKltwYW0 維尼

Finding an assassin willing to operate in South Imperial City wasn’t easy, and the price was out of this world. After Silent Cat failed, the request became infamous among the assassins, and even those of similar skill as Silent Cat dared not accept the offer.   8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Y3bwg3U3 維尼

It wasn’t that he couldn’t hire a better assassin, but the cost would be so astronomical that it would pain him despite his wealth. That was the reason why Chui Yim was still alive right now.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2WL8srD2U 維尼

The thought of this made his head hurt. After some time, he took a deep breath to calm himself down before making his way to the Chor Mansion located on Blue Dragon Avenue.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8IQ4L9FM4 維尼

Locating the Chor Mansion was easy, and for someone of his cultivation state, travelling there took mere seconds. Upon his arrival, he could feel the murderous aura of the Chor Clan disciples; he silently nodded in admiration. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVdqdMr6fx 維尼

The famous Chor Clan was the leader of the four generals not only because of Chor Huet Zhin’s management and strength. The clan’s foundation was also a major factor;dDespite being a powerful clan, they were never arrogant and always followed commands diligently like an army.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT8ZRfXxfr 維尼

Mo-Yung Yin admired their attitude and even considered how he could implement this in the Mo-Yung Clan. As he approached the entrance, he was blocked. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZp4G3KLKm 維尼

“Identify yourself!”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P2cTEEMVQ 維尼

“Mo-Yung Yin of the Mo-Yung Clan.” Mo-Yung Yin glanced at the disciple who blocked him as he cleared the way.   8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpW3HgFek 維尼

“Divine Doctor Mo-Yung, please enter.”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FcBes10Xt 維尼

Mo-Yung Yin didn’t spare him another look as if it hurt his status to do so and directly entered. In no time, Chor Koo came to welcome him. “Greetings, Doctor Mo-Yung.”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡANaBRJUmZQ 維尼

“Where is Chor Chong Hoi?’ Mo-Yong Yin inquired calmly. All he wanted to do was finish this task quickly before heading over to the Wong Clan.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgWb91xQjz 維尼

“Faction Leader Chor Chong Hoi is currently receiving treatment,” Chor Koo replied after some hesitation.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBlipeFnu6 維尼

“Treatment?” Mo-Yung Yin was stunned. “By who?”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8IPrEJA5t 維尼

“A friend of our clan, little brother Chui.”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡlogcQRQkle 維尼

“Nonsense!” Mo-Yung Yin’s face fell upon hearing Chui Yim’s name. “He’s too young to take on such burdens!”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEGOrElTLe 維尼

“I apologise, but little brother Chui emphasised that nobody should be let in.” Chor Koo shook his head. 8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7DbhtK86o 維尼

Mo-Yung Yin’s face turned black as charcoal.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡleYqfU7jXF 維尼

Who am I? The only divine doctor in the world! Nobody in this world is my superior in medicine, but I’m now being denied entrance because of a kid who’s barely fifteen! What an insult!  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dHJvrFBxV 維尼

“I’m here on the Emperor’s orders! Does the Chor Clan intend to defy his edict!”  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ3KjQ4vva 維尼

“Please hold on, Doctor Mo-Yung. We will let you enter after little brother Chui finishes his treatment,” Chor Koo answered with the signature poker face of the Chor Clan.  8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5KYL2tKB6 維尼

Mo-Yung Yin laughed in anger after hearing this. But before he could say anything, a huge change suddenly took place!8964 copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61x08Htuqh 維尼
