Night of the Broken Gliph

This was a pleasant surprise to Qiu Jin. Thankful and helpless, he sighed secretly. Noticed Her Highness’s talents? More like being forced by the princess and threatened with Kan Hang to allow Her Highness to cook… I guess it’s a blessing in disguise…

Of course, Qiu Jin would not speak the truth. He even answered cleverly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your lowly servant did nothing, her highness is so talented that she shines everywhere she goes. Since Her Highness is such a great chef at such a young age, your lowly servant could even retire after a few years and pass the authority in the imperial kitchen to Her Highness."

Lau Fa Ming next to Qiu Jin broke out in cold sweat hearing him. Immediately, he shrieked, "How dare you suggest that the mighty princess tires herself with the chores of the imperial kitchen!?"

Realizing that he had gone overboard, Qiu Jin kowtowed immediately. "Your lowly servant knows his mistake."

"It’s fine." Lam Chun waved his hands. "I am no stubborn man, and it would be advantageous if Princess Ming Sum did have such talents. From tomorrow onwards, I approve of Princess Ming Sum entering the imperial kitchen to help and learn from Qiu Jin."

This piece of news put a huge smile on Qiu Jin’s face. He adored Princess Ming Sum, and it would be beneficial for him, who was slowly getting older, to be on good terms with her. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your humble servant will do my best!"

"Work hard, and I’ll reward you for all the good work you’ve done."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Qiu Jin was ecstatic.

Lam Mei Mei was in a sulky mood. The presence of Lam Ming Sum irritated her because of two reasons: Lam Ming Sum was the reason she was grounded, and Brother Kam, whom she liked, favored Lam Ming Sum but treated her coldly. She’s nobody but a bastard!

A bastard like her doesn’t deserve anyone’s attention!

Princess Lam Mei Mei, the gorgeous daughter of the current Emperor Lam, with her lovable and cute appearance, received tons of care and adoration from people around her, but everything seemed to take a turn ever since Lam Ming Sum appeared.

She couldn’t hold her curiosity and took a taste of the dish that all the guests were crowding around.

Damn it… it’s kind of delicious… However, she made malicious comments contrary to her thoughts. "Is this even edible!? This plate of food is horrendous!"

The crowd turned around subconsciously and saw Lam Mei Mei’s pretty yet ice cold face. Upon hearing the nasty comments she made, they took a glance at Lam Mei Mei and back at Lam Ming Sum speechlessly.

Lam Mei Mei sneered and threw the Four Flavour Celebration in her chopsticks to the ground. "Just a piece of trash."

Every outstanding chef cherished food greatly, and it went the same for Lam Ming Sum too. She teared up at Lam Mei Mei’s actions and nearly burst out in tears. Lam Chun frowned, but before he could take action, he felt a strong energliph movement!

Buzz…

The Thousand Mountain and Streams formation was activated, and everyone present felt a dangerous energy movement. In the Heaven Tower, Old Ngai shook his head yet he did not show himself.

The strong energliph movement was from On Pak Hin next to Lam Chun! The terrifying energliph movement had all clan leaders and elites of the four-chambered state moving backwards in slight fear.

On Pak Hin was an anomaly of his clan; he did not pick up the usage of the Horse Chopping Sabre of the On Clan, nor did he inherit the Kirin Arm. The Horse Chopping Sabre was a skill set that all On Clan disciples should’ve been equipped with, and due to its big movements, it was considered unique in the South. As for the Kirin Arm, it was only reserved for blood related disciples due to it being the On Clan’s top secret. Not only that, the cultivators must be enlightened with the special Kirin Arm body form to use the skill to its full potential.

On Pak Hin practiced neither of these skills and was seen as an ordinary disciple of the On Clan at the start, but he proved himself with an outstanding performance at the Blood War Frontier and even created a powerful gliphility.

He also received a special opportunity and entered the four-chambered state. In the blink of an eye, the trash back then was now an important figure in South Imperial City.

This was the reason why On Pak Hin was different from other clan leaders, who were generous and understood how to behave properly. Moreover, the mysterious legacy he had acquired caused changes to his energliph, and he had the ability to suppress normal gliphers and gliphists.

Greatly angered, despite being in the palace, his energliph surged due to his emotions. On Pak Hin glanced at the Four Flavour Jade on the ground and Lam Ming Sum with teary eyes before walking over. Lam Chun on the side pulled him. “Pak Hin.”

“Your Majesty, your humble servant is aware of what he’s doing.” On Pak Hin forced a smile. He walked to Lam Mei Mei, who felt as if she was being glared at by a ferocious beast. But she was a smart girl too, and she knew that nobody dared to attack her in the Evergreen Palace. Thus, she held her head up high, not giving in the slightest as she glared at On Pak Hin with a taunting look.

You dare to attack me?

On Pak Hin did not even spare her another look and picked up the Four Flavour Celebration from the ground and put it in his mouth, to the crowd’s surprise.

“Your humble servant greatly admires Princess Ming Sum’s cooking. If there’s a chance, your humble servant hopes to invite Your Highness to the On Clan to make us a banquet. Due to someone’s rude behavior spoiling the mood, your humble servant will take his leave first.” On Pak Hin turned and bowed to Lam Chun.

Beneath his calm tone, his energliph surged as if he was trying his best to hold back. On the other hand, Lam Mei Mei clearly heard On Pak Hin’s words. Coquettishly, she squealed, “How dare you address me as ‘someone’!? Do you know that I’m able to behead-”

“Silence!” Lam Chun yelled thunderously. Lam Mei Mei stopped halfway, not daring to continue seeing Lam Chun fuming with anger.

“Suen Ling, bring her back to take a rest, Mei Mei isn’t feeling well.”

Suen Ling immediately bowed and pulled Lam Mei Mei away, whispering, “Let’s go, Your Highness, His Majesty is furious.”

Lam Mei Mei felt extremely indignant to see someone stand up for Lam Ming Sum. Why do they stand up for that bastard? But seeing how angry Lam Chun looked, Lam Mei Mei could only leave with a sneer. “Royal Father, daughter will take her leave first.”

Chui Yim next to Kam Chin Kee watched the scene excitedly. “Wow, how did you get into trouble with such a fierce girl?”

Kam Chin Kee rolled his eyes and ignored Chui Yim. “Don’t cry, Ming Sum. Come over and take a seat.”

“Oh.” Lam Ming Sum did not have the mood to return to the imperial kitchen and sat with Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee. The crowd was shocked at how Princess Ming Sum listened to Kam Chin Kee, but remembering they were childhood friends, the crowd understood.

Luckily, there were no other incidents that followed, and the National Day Celebration ended on good note.
