Kam Chin Kee tried sneaking into Chui Yim’s workshop but was shocked to find a figure staring at him with a thin smile.
“Hi… Big brother Yeung. Why are you still awake?” Kam Chin Kee chuckled, not feeling embarrassed upon being discovered about his intentions, perhaps due to this being his third life already.
“It would be weirder if I could sleep through this commotion.” Yeung Chun laughed in reply, unconcerned about Kam Chin Kee’s actions. Mung Si’s treatment and Chui Yim’s energliph movement might have only taken place in Mung Si’s body, but the doubled energliph movement that Chui Yim “borrowed” from True Domineer was crystal clear to those in the residence.
“Hehe.” Seeing that Yeung Chun was around, Kam Chin Kee waved his hands. “In that case, I’ll return to sleep.”
“Erm…” Yeung Chun hesitated. “Don’t you mind my identity? I’m a Northerner after all.”
“How brother Yeung is willing to guard Chui Yim proves everything. Brother Yeung is still me and Chui Yim’s brother Yeung despite your background. It doesn’t matter to either of us,” Kam Chin Kee answered without even looking back.
Stunned, Yeung Chun watched Kam Chin Kee disappear into his room before letting out a chuckle.
It feels great to be trusted.
The next day, Chui Yim discovered a jade box with a note beneath it the moment he woke up. There wasn’t the feminine font Chui Yim expected but a striking font instead.
“I owe you two lives.”
And that was the end of the note, a simple one.
There was the soulbless fruit Mung Si earned from winning the gliphism segment of the inter-school exchange. It could directly improve one’s mental strength.
“Two lives?” Chui Yim moved his fingers, but no matter what, it didn’t add up.
“Well, whatever.” Chui Yim kept the box immediately and did some stretching. Acting completely fine when he was just seriously injured the day before was enough to shock the world.
“Fighting! Let’s have a great day today!” Encouraging himself, Chui Yim went ahead with his daily exercise.
Spring fades away slowly from the air, turning into nutrition for summer.
Summer arrived with hot sidewalks that left passersby in buckets of sweat, as well as bright yellow sunlight paired with cricket noises.
Not only this, this summer also came with the highly anticipated Cloud Palace enrollment.
This was a huge event limited to just a few. Mediocre teenage cultivators were too embarrassed to take part, and only people with a certain status had the right to view the enrollment.
Mysterious and detached, Cloud Palace was just like how the world viewed them: staying away from worldly affairs.
There was still one week left until the event, yet the South was already bustling with activities.
The water curtain gates of the city opened up for an old wooden horse carriage. Others pulled away from it seeing how unstable it was, as if it would shatter the next minute. But actually, rather than a horse carriage, it was a night wolf carriage.
The night lion was the unique symbol of the Tse Clan.
The carriage stopped at the city gate for checks. Inside the carriage sat a teen wearing a conical hat.
"Name?"
"Tse Clan, Tse Yu Bak," he said, pulling away the hat to reveal his face.
A huge building inside South Imperial City near Black Tortoise Avenue:
It could also be said to be another city gate of South Imperial City, as inside the building was South Imperial City’s teleportation gliph formation.
Cultivators could enter the city through the gliph formation, but this was only allowed from certain locations. But nobody dared to be careless, as those guarding this area had the lowest cultivation of three-chambered or ten-gliphic states while those upholding the formation operation were hundred-gliphic gliphists. This was ample to show how high the security was.
Around the formation were many traps that would kill powerful intruders the instant one was detected. However, since the establishment of the formation, there hadn’t been an instance where that took place. It was just in case.
These past few days, the gliph formation building was bustling with activity. The clan leaders as well as other important figures would not want to waste their time traveling all the way to South Imperial City. Thus, they chose to go with the teleportation gliph formation. It took Chui Yim about half a year to get to Southary, so why waste the time when you could reach it in the blink of an eye?
However, the crazy cost of the teleportation gliph formation made it destined to be out of commoners’ reach.
But to those who had the ability to watch the Cloud Palace enrollment, it was just a small sum.
Today, light was seen circulating around the gliph formation. An elderly man along with a teen appeared in the formation. All gliphists around greeted the elder sincerely with respect immediately. “Great Master Ping.”
Great Master Ping was none other than Ping Chi. But it did not take long for the crowd’s attention to fall on the girl next to him instead. Doe eyes and refreshing visuals paired with a cold, contrasting aura, her young age was unable to hide the beauty of the young girl, and she would definitely be another gorgeous beauty of the world when she grew.
She was Ping Ching from the Ping Clan.
During these few days, many important figures arrived in the city one by one, and the city became increasingly livelier. Residences that were empty on a normal basis with only servants and maids seen at times to clean up the place were all occupied within a short period of time.
Claims from nosy citizens without statistics estimated that all cities, from the huge South’s Five to the small Southary, had representatives that came. City mayors, clan leaders, and many more other important figures, it all added up to more than a few hundred different organizations who sent representatives to South Imperial City, and the number was still rising.
Since this was an event that would most likely affect the world’s future, both North and South.
The words “Cloud Palace” carried huge weight throughout the entire world, and the lucky teen picked by them would definitely bring improvement in leaps and bounds to his or her organisation!
When the world was feeling great anticipation, at the same time, five people were sitting on the peak of a hill, enjoying the moonlight.
They watched the huge moon hang in the air, and it seemed to be just a reach away from them.
The five of them stared at the moon calmly. Just then, a figure walked over.
“Five teachers, tomorrow is the day.”
It was the woman familiar to all Cloud Palace outer sect disciples, Woo Nim!
“Mm, thank you for the trouble,” responded a gentle, breeze-like voice that could calm anyone down. It was from a skinny figure wearing a snowy white robe. He had long black hair tied in a ponytail behind him.
He had gentle and innocent facial features, and he turned to Woo Nim, flashing a thin smile.
“There’s no trouble, First teacher.” Woo Nim bowed immediately and left.
Watching her leave, the First teacher turned back to the rest. “My junior sister and brothers, are you ready?”
