Night of the Broken Gliph

Chui Yim finally looked at Choh Hang Sang after realising that the other party could discern everything, from the ingredients Chui Yim used to the idea behind his gliph weapon accurately. “I see that this old man has sharp eyes.”

“How dare you—” Chau Ling flared up, but Choh Hang Sang only waved his hands smilingly. “I’m only a few years older than our little friend here. How about we treat each other as the same seniority? As long as our little friend here doesn’t mind.”

“If you insist. I’m Chui Yim.” Chui Yim answered generously. Choh Hang Sang was an affable man, and Chui Yim clearly felt it──there was no reason for Chui Yim to treat him with an attitude.

“Let’s have a chat about forging, brother Chui.”

“Of course ── I heard you own the garden outside?”

“Haha, yes. Brother Chui is free to take anything that catches your eye; as a meeting gift for my brother.”

“Then I’ll consider myself welcome!”

Before Chui Yim left the room with Choh Hang Sang, he turned towards Chau Cheung. “Chau Cheung, remember to change our plan when you head back. We will only customise three grade two gliph weapons every month, bid them out like an auction. The buyer with the highest price will get it.”

He and Choh Hang Sang left Chau Ling’s workshop, leaving a depressed Chau Ling, a thrilled Siu Suet and Chau Cheung!

Of course Siu Suet was thrilled. She had just gotten a customised weapon from a blacksmith who even grandmaster Choh Hang Sang treated respectfully ── it was obvious the teen was a powerful master’s disciple while he was an expert blacksmith. Such a powerful gliph weapon increased her strength comprehensively, and she was now even more confident in the interschool exchange.

On the other hand, Chau Cheung was like a dog wagging his tail as he had won his bet!

After this incident, Chui Yim’s fame would increase as the world would know him as the teenager who beat great master Chau Ling. With grandmaster Choh’s words, Chui Yim was obviously of a high state, and many clans would flock to them to customise gliph weapons for their talents no matter the price! Chui Yim’s voice rang in his mind as he recalled what he had said. “Chubby, if you continue to bet everything on me, I’ll guarantee your success,”

Chau Cheng was greatly looking forward to his future. He somehow felt that Chui Yim was a guiding light of his success!

The dark night shrouded the beautiful sky as night fell.

The three famous institutions, the Stars Unite Educational Centre, Metallic Blood War Gate and Great Book Academy, were all located in South Imperial City. The first was on Eastern Blue Dragon Avenue, the second on Western White Tiger Avenue, and the Great Book Academy on Southern Vermillion Bird Avenue. In the middle was the Evergreen Palace. Surrounded by the three greatest institutions, the Evergreen Palace was protected from all directions.

Southern Vermillion Bird Avenue, the Great Book Academy.

 A teenage girl sat on a stone stool, star gazing. She was an ice-cold beauty that might not have realised it was because she picked up her teacher’s characteristics subconsciously, or maybe her cultivation style was to be blamed.

Recently, she vauguely heard the name she was thought to had forgotten. They had only met for two short days. After all, she was the talented young mistress of the Ha Clan and a single-gliphic gliphist, while the other was just an unknown boy she had never expected to hear about again.

 She never thought that she would continuously hear about him from all over. Firstly, she heard that he became Doctor Odd Ping Chi’s direct disciple and soon, he earned a special quota to join the Cloud Palace outer sect, and now he was said to possess the ability to customise grade-two gliph weapons.

He was only ten, but he was a dual great master in medicine and forging. The South hadn’t seen such a “monster” for the last thousand years! Every incident that took place made the name replay in her mind.

The girl sighed as the silver moonlight shone on her. It tugged at one’s heartstrings to see such a beauty sigh.

“What’s bothering Siu Bing so much for her to sigh about?” A voice rang into her ears and destroyed the gorgeous scene. The person had a raspy voice; it sounded just like a rusty sword and the great sword intent within was clearly felt.

“It’s none of brother Fok’s business.” The girl frowned as she replied in a low voice.

A slender figure appeared from the shadows. He carried a sword on his waist and a fierce sword intent could be clearly felt from him. Even the bright moonlight couldn’t cover up his sharp aura. Even though the girl was frowning, she couldn’t help but be in awe. Indeed the Fok Clan’s pride.

The teen walked over, and a gentle expression washed over his face when he looked at her. “Siu Bing, the interschool exchange is around the corner; I’ll definitely represent the academy and my clan to victory. If I manage to do so, I will propose our marriage to the Ha Clan.” 

“I didn’t agree to this, Fok Fung.” The girl replied coldly.

“What place do you have to decide this? It will be up to your parents and the matchmaker. Anyways, I am a genius confident of reaching the four-chambered state, and even the five-chambered state is possible. Becoming my wife isn’t a bad option.”

“How can feelings be discussed like this? I do not have any feelings for you; our relationship will not work out.” The girl sneered.

Fok Fung laughed angrily, but he calmed down quickly. “Unfortunately, you don’t have a say in the matter.”

“That’s on the condition you beat me.” Just then, another girl came over. She had a crystal clear voice with a similarly sharp intent around her.

The first girl smiled immediately. “Senior sister.”

A female stepped out. She wasn’t as gorgeous, but she had a unique aura which felt like a sharp arrow. “We don’t welcome you here, Fok Fung.”

“Siu Suet, this is mine and Siu Bing’s matter. It has nothing to do with you.” Fok Fung furrowed his brows.

“Siu Bing is my junior sister; therefore it relates to me.” Siu Suet raised an eyebrow.

“You looked confident. Have you forgotten how you lost to me?” Fok Fung’s voice grew cold, but it didn’t scare Siu Suet. Instead, she replied with confidence.

“Do you want to give it a try?”

Fok Fung scowled. He never expected Siu Suet to be so determined today. There had been similar situations, but they always ended with Siu Suet leaving with Siu Bing. Thus, Fok Fung was confused.

 “Then I’ll look forward to junior sister Siu’s archery skills during the interschool exchange.”

“Sure.” Siu Suet looked at him peacefully and shrugged.

Seeing this, Fok Fung left with a sneer! As soon as Fok Fung left, Siu Bing ran over in admiration. “Senior sister, you’re so cool!”

Siu Suet looked at her junior sister, who was a few years younger and replied in a coddling tone. “Yes, I met a master today.”

“Master?” Siu Bing asked in confusion. “Oh, senior sister went to purchase a gliph weapon today, right?”
