It only took a few years for the boy to become an influential figure in the world. Yes, Chui Yim had become much more influential than Chor Shing Chit.
Chor Shing Chit was a famous cultivator, but just an excellent three-chambered cultivator at the end of the day, unlike Chui Yim, who was the current Cloud Palace seventh teacher and half a grandmaster in terms of forging. A large number believed that Chui Yim would become the second divine blacksmith in the world after the Northern Blazing Skies Mountain and the first Southern divine blacksmith.
Furthermore, the words “Cloud Palace” that were associated with him instilled fear in many.
The stories associated with Cloud Palace scared them, and every Cloud Palace disciple was the most powerful cultivator of their generation. Just as Chui Yim mentioned, he might not be able to defeat Wong Pak at the moment, but if the historical pattern continued, it would be Wong Pak who could not defeat Chui Yim in the future.
Thus, nobody dared to take the risk. No matter how much they wished to suppress the Chor Clan or how unhappy the rest were, they dared not and stopped suppressing the Chor Clan immediately after Chui Yim's action the previous day.
The Chor Clan undoubtedly benefited the most. After Chui Yim's action, the clan finally had the precious chance to breathe after being suppressed by three clans for a long period of time. Chor Shing Chit immediately came to pay a visit after knowing that Chui Yim had returned to South Imperial City. He was greatly touched at the same time.
The boy had now become a teenager, but he was still as straightforward as always, rendering the Chor Clan help without even asking them just because of his friendship with Chor Shing Chit as well as a way to thank Chor Huet Zhin for lending him a helping hand when he needed it in the past.
Chui Yim was still as passionate as ever. Now, he was looking at Chor Shing Chit with a smile. The both of them were so close that they did not need to exchange words.
“Ming Sum has returned to the palace,” Chui Yim said. “It's a pity that Brother Chor won’t be able to enjoy her delicacies. She has improved so much over the years!”
“It's fine. Let's eat out today. My treat for your return.” Chor Shing Chit returned a gentle smile. Kam Chin Kee agreed too. He naturally knew how close Chor Shing Chit and Chui Yim were.“Alright! Hahaha!”
As they were chatting, the black eagle on Chor Shing Chit's shoulder stared at the bulge in front of Chui Yim's chest and Kam Chin Kee's hair as if it saw a ghost.
What the hell are those?
South Imperial City, the most majestic city in the South, brimmed with extensive restaurants and cuisines. This was a result of many g-chefs and chefs coming from various parts of the South, bringing their hometown specialties to make a living in this huge city. This gave South Imperial City citizens a huge variety of food options.
Amongst all, there was a unique, irreplaceable restaurant. They only hired retired imperial kitchen g-chefs, only used top-notch ingredients, and were known to have all the world's best wines in store.
No matter which reason, they were all sufficient to prove the restaurant's status in the city.
Sadly, commoners were banned from the restaurant. It only served important figures or members from well-known clans or organizations.
This restaurant was none other than Southern Heaven Inn.
Southern Heaven Inn took up nine stories. Southern buildings were tall, but nine stories tall was considered extremely tall.
Lots of people believed that Southern Heaven Inn had the imperial clan behind them. What else could be the reason for the building to be allowed when it was almost the same height as the Heaven Tower of Evergreen Palace?
There were many scholars in the South, and they enjoyed storytelling. Therefore, each story of Southern Heaven Inn had its own story.
To dine at a different floor, one had to meet different criteria or they would be prevented from entering. The building was shaped like a sharp tower; the higher the floor, the less space it had for diners, and there was only a single table on the ninth floor.
But it was mostly unoccupied. Maybe it was because when Southern Heaven Inn first opened its business, they welcomed the emperor of that generation to dine on the ninth floor, which meant that only those of the same status were allowed to dine on that particular floor.
Nobody dared to take the risk of committing an act of treason, thus the ninth floor remained unoccupied for many years.
The seventh floor was bustling with activity. Chau Chung, the new star of Black Tortoise Auction House, booked the entire seventh floor of Southern Heaven Inn today, and the public immediately linked his booking to the sixth and seventh teacher of Cloud Palace and figured it to be a party to welcome them back.
In fact, with Chau Chung's status, he was unable to book the seventh floor seeing how nobody was even allowed in the ninth floor other than the current emperor. With deduction, all those allowed on the seventh floor were extraordinary figures. But because Chau Chung booked the place for Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim's celebration, Southern Heaven Inn made an exception to express friendliness to the Cloud Palace disciples.
Only a few were invited to today's banquet; Chor Shing Chit and Chor Kwong Laan from the Chor Clan, Wong Chow Yip from the Wong Clan, On Kuet from the On Clan, and Lee Bak from the Metallic Blood War Gate.
Chor Kwong Laan had grown well after four years. He had taken on the character of a typical Chor Clan member, responsible and quiet, just like a wooden block. Many did not understand how such a quiet person could forge such a close relationship with the straightforward seventh teacher.
Wong Chow Yip was there too. Despite the unhappiness Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee came to his clan with, they were all teenagers and he knew that Chui Yim viewed him as a friend by inviting him. Since that was the case, there was no reason for him to be absent, but the first thing he did when he arrived was bicker with On Kuet. “Wow, I didn't expect to see the famous crown prince's right hand. What a rare guest!”
On Kuet rubbed his chin stubble with a laugh. Even Chui Yim was speechless with his looks. What is he growing so urgently for, looking like a middle-aged man when he's just a teenager? With that, Chui Yim watched On Kuet shrug with a laugh.
“Of course, it's Brother Chui's celebration. I heard that Chui Yim paid Sir Wong a visit this morning and now I'm seeing you here. You're one of a kind, Wong Chow Yip.
“I admire you,” On Kuet said with a meaningful laugh.
“Do you want to fight, On boy?” The hot-tempered Wong Chow Yip stood up immediately.
“No.” On Kuet laughed, shaking his head. “We can't fight at Brother Chui and Brother Kam's banquet.”
“Alright.” Chor Kwong Laan spoke up. “Stop this nonsense. Brother Chui and Brother Kam are the main characters today.”
Wong Chow Yip sneered and drank a cup of wine. Lee Bak stood up and placed his hands together at the duo.
“Brother Chui is finally back. I missed you so much.”
Lee Bak did not change much; he was still ordinary looking, but he had become way more mature and his aura was way more profound.
Chui Yim felt it even more clearly. He and Kam Chin Kee might be taking the ancient path of cultivating gliphism, but he still had a preference, which was obviously physical fights, while Kam Chin Kee used gliphism to support his puppetry. With the Heaven's Flame as an ingredient for his heart chamber gliph, Chui Yim had a strong and powerful body.
So he immediately sensed that Lee Bak's blood energy was drastically different from four years ago.
