Night of the Broken Gliph

“Heartless” is a word that could describe many things, but there was one that everyone had to agree with, which is time.

Time is heartless, even for the generation filled with elites. After the Cloud Palace enrollment, the other talents who failed to make it went into seclusion one by one and slowly disappeared from the public’s sight.

Humans are forgetful creatures, soon, they forgot about the young elites as all they cared about was the weather today or gossip about other cultivators. 

Rather than the improvement of the young elites, gossip was way more interesting.

For example, many believed that Mung Si was too dejected from her failure and could no longer focus on cultivation after she was spotted learning the Yim Clan Punch along with gliphism. They felt that it was a pity for her.

They also heard about how Lee Bak from the Metallic Blood War Gate was able to draw gliphs in the air out of nowhere to catch a falling bird when he was looking over the children’s practice for his master.

Did Siu Suet and Fok Fung fight again today? Where did Yuen Yau bring his juniors to solicit alms today？

Just like how the public never really cared about the teens, the teens never really cared about them either.

They were like seeds of the continent, growing into a flower or tree before disappearing from the public’s minds.

In the blink of an eye, four years had passed.

The Blue Skies Rank had been updated once again, and the names Mung Si, Fok Fung, Lee Bak, Kam Chin Kee, Yeung Tin Hun, and more were slowly erased and replaced by unknown names. The waves behind drive those in front and always will.

And that previous generation was soon forgotten.

The teens living on Cerulean Mountain have become young adults today.

The past four years were the best years of their lives.

But the energetic young men hiding under the fence with perverted expressions was… unlikable, and many would disdain them.

One of the young men was bald, had huge eyes, and also had a pair of caterpillar-like brows that looked like they would fly off any minute like a seagull. It was weird that he was bald, but he was undoubtedly handsome, if one ignored his perverted look. “We go along with the plan ?”

The other young man had a clean look: thin brows, a small nose, and even a dimple when he smiled. He was just like any other boy next door. “Will it be fine?” He asked worriedly. 

The bald young man did not even spare him a look as his eyes were fixated on the goal right in front of him. “Be at ease, I’m well prepared. Ming Sum and Third Senior Brother will be waiting for us at the house. By then, everything will be cooked. What can Great Senior Brother do at that point? Kill us?” He spoke at a fast speed while he looked around cautiously, taking note of the time.

“Alright.” The clean young man was filled with worry because he knew how scary it was when their great senior brother raged.

The young men were naturally Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee.

For today, the teens were well prepared. It consisted of the collective efforts of the third, sixth, and seventh teacher as well as an assistant. It made sense to say that they were preparing to go against a five-chambered or thousand-gliphic state cultivator seeing the members in their group.

However, Kam Chin Kee was not confident in this mission since their enemy was their great senior brother.

“Have you forgotten the taste!?” Chui Yim raged seeing how hesitant Kam Chin Kee was. “Stop hesitating. Back out if you want, it just means that me and Third Senior Brother will have an extra portion.”

Kam Chin Kee was reminded of the taste as Chui Yim spoke. These past few years, they had robbed their great senior brother’s fish pond twice, once succeeding and another time failing. But no matter the outcome, they ended up being punished heavily…

But for the fish…

“I’m going to do anything!” Kam Chin Kee gritted his teeth in determination like he was going to war!

The both of them took a look at the sky and nodded.

It was time.

Chui Yim was fairly confident with his third mission because he chose to take action at dawn.

They knew how regulated Sung Tsz Hin’s lifestyle was. He would wake up at six every morning and enjoy the silence for a brief duration before starting his day. During this brief moment, he would practice his Self Winding Wheel. This was when Sung Tsz Hin would meditate, unaware of what was happening outside. Even thunder could not wake him up.

And this was the period where Chui Yim chose to take action!

It was six in the morning. They exchanged a glance and took action.

Chui Yim peaked from the fence to see a crane standing tall next to the pond. The moment Chui Yim looked over, the crane was already looking over.

Its gaze was easy to understand for humans, and currently, it felt that Chui Yim was an idiot.

It was thinking, What makes you think you will succeed with me guarding the pond?

Sneaky Great Senior Brother! Calling Little White here to stand guard during his silent time! But I’m a fighter! Chui Yim thought to himself.

He patted the red cloth carried on his chest, and a grey head popped out from it. It looked at Chui Yim in confusion and whined, unhappy with how early Chui Yim woke it up.

“Stop sleeping, we have work to do,” Chui Yim whispered. “My dear Rocky, go!”

Rocky rubbed its eyes unhappily, but it listened to everything that Chui Yim said and disappeared as a grey shadow, landing on the fence. After four years, Rocky was no longer the tiny monkey, but it was still as grey as a rock, looking just like an ordinary stone on the fence.

But it was no ordinary stone, it was a rock monkey, a divine beast born from the essence of heaven and earth.

Others might not care, but Little White, a celestial beast, disliked Rocky the moment it appeared on Cerulean Mountain, as if it was the only beast with a unique bloodline allowed to be here on Cerulean Mountain.

Rocky did not even need to do anything for Little White to go for it.

Whoosh… The grey and white figures rushed out of Sung Tsz Hin’s garden. They were difficult to see due to the colour of the sky.

The teens walked over to the pond in the garden and looked at the item in the pond. There was a golden fish in the pond called golden scale.

Chui Yim put his hands in the pond to grab a fat golden scale. It started struggling, but Chui Yim’s strength was too great for it to move. He stared at the golden scale longingly; maybe he was admiring its beautiful scales that shone prettily under the sun, or perhaps its delicious taste.

Kam Chin Kee pulled Chui Yim’s sleeves, signaling him to leave.
