Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 480

Hui Sai Cheong and Lam Ming Sum happily served them plenty of different dishes.

Siu Chu feasted on a drumstick happily, stains getting on his face as he ate, which made Sung Tsz Hin laugh and clean his mouth for him.

Chui Yim was in a great mood too. He took out wine from the Divine Bracelet of Five Elements and danced along with Yim Mo Chiu like a failure. It made Siu Chu and Lam Ming Sum burst out laughing to watch him.

Unlike Chui Yim, Kam Chin Kee was a quiet boy who preferred to sit at the side and watch the joyous occasion with a smile, feeling the peacefulness.

This was the only time he could finally relax.

Yes, even after leaving the palace and moving into the Wandering Son’s Lake residence, Kam Chin Kee could not let his guard down as he knew well that the Lam Dynasty was godlike in South Imperial City. Chui Yim was the only reason why he had a somewhat peaceful time back in the city.

Due to their difference in characteristics, Chui Yim naturally attracted the attention of all important figures just like the blazing bonfire right in front of him now, and nobody dared to touch him only because he always had Chui Yim next to him.

Without Chui Yim, he would’ve been dead within twenty-four hours of leaving the palace.

Or maybe he would’ve been locked up somewhere and tortured for information about Evergreen Palace, or they might’ve sent elites out to catch him to make sure he kept Evergreen Palace’s design a secret, or he would’ve been harmed out of jealousy, joining the pile of human remains that had been in the huge Wandering Son’s Lake for a thousand years. The Wandering Son’s Lake was huge, and he would never be found.

Only when he arrived at Cloud Palace’s Cerulean Mountain did the knife pointing at his neck finally disappear, and he once again regained freedom. This was the best feeling in the world.

On the peak of Cerulean Mountain, stars serenaded the night skies without a moon. However, starlight was still able to light up the world clearly.

The old man was still fishing without bait. It was unknown what he was fishing or waiting for.

As if possessing a supernatural ability to look through space, he could see his disciples dancing happily at the mountain slope. This put a smile on his face, but it couldn’t hide his loneliness.

The striking starlight was unable to touch him like a destiny that could not be reached.

The next day, Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee woke up in the open air with only a blanket on them to keep them warm. They looked around to realise the rest had already gone into their houses to rest.

They were feeling helpless yet excited to build their own houses.

The boys loved the Wandering Son’s Lake residence with its stunning view of the lake, but it was still located in a city. It was like its own little paradise in a huge city, but it was still filled with restrictions and lacked freedom, unlike in Cloud Palace.

Here, even the smallest piece of land belonged to them fully. They didn’t need to worry about odd stares from the public or set up traps in the entire garden to take care of those with malicious intentions like Chui Yim had to previously.

The thought of this left the boys on cloud nine, and they got to work immediately.

Thud thud thud!

Loud pounding sounds were heard.

Not long after, the other five house doors opened, revealing the sleepy faces of the other Cloud Palace disciples. They had such a fun time yesterday that they forgo their daily routine temporarily, which consisted of meditation during the night and practising the Self Winding Wheel to replace sleep. After the fun night, all of them chose to sleep instead.

However, they were woken up by a loud commotion when the sun had just risen.

They rubbed their eyes and saw the boys hard at work; Kam Chin Kee was not the main source of noise since he only worked with a large carving knife, but Chui Yim was very noisy. After Chau Chung sold his weapons in bulk, many people who did not have enough money to pay him exchanged for weapons with unique minerals and metals.

With that, Chui Yim ended up having a considerable collection of metal in his Divine Bracelet of Five Elements; even in comparison to South! He even took out the Nine-Dragon Flame Gathering Cauldron and started refining them on the spot!

“What are you guys doing?” Sung Tsz Hin rubbed his eyes. They did not wake him up, but he was practising the Self Winding Wheel and taking the time to enjoy the short moment of silence before starting his day like always.

However, there wasn’t a short moment of silence for him today but a short moment of noise that made him nearly jump out of his bed.

“I’m sorry, Senior Brothers and Sisters, we are building our house!” Chui Yim apologized and went back to work with Kam Chin Kee.

The others said no more and went to wash up and start their day.

It was now noon, and they already had their lunch. Sung Tsz Hin then invited the boys for a tour of Cerulean Mountain to familiarise themselves with the place.

This Cerulean Mountain they called “Lost in the Clouds” was huge.

They arrived at the foot of Cerulean Mountain after teleporting.

“Many beasts and gliphic plants reside in this forest, so be careful when you’re walking around.” Sung Tsz Hin pulled Siu Chu with Kam Chin Kee, Lam Ming Sum, and Chui Yim following behind him.

“The same goes for Ming Sum. It’s best to come with our junior brothers when you’re looking for ingredients.”

Lam Ming Sum answered, but her eyes shone brightly as during this short period, she had already spotted a few ingredients that were nearly extinct in the South or only appeared in the books! The attraction of ingredients to a chef was just like how a stunning lady was to a man; irresistible. Lam Ming Sum was happy with the findings.

Since the forest was too large, Sung Tsz Hin did not have the intention to bring them on a full tour of the forest. “Okay, if you wish to explore the forest, come as a group. Let’s return to the mountains to look at some special architecture.”

The trio followed behind without objection.

Just before they turned around, Chui Yim spotted a high cliff through the forest.

“Great Senior Brother, what’s that?” Chui Yim pointed at it.

“The Barren Cliff, a unique place.” Sung Tsz Hin followed his finger and smiled. The cliff was just a hill with a great contrast to everything around it. If they were to evaluate Cerulean Mountain, Chui Yim would describe it as full of vitality and ancient trees that brought about strong vitality, a place that made them naturally feel at ease. As for the cliff, it looked like a barren piece of land without any vitality or green, very out of place.
