Thus, Chui Yim became a grandmaster’s master overnight.495Please respect copyright.PENANAgcjub6ABEi
Of course, he was aware that Choh Hang Sang only looked up to his weapon refining method as the other was no weaker than him in terms of forging. The other had spent almost a century on forging; Chui Yim’s total age even including his previous life was lower!495Please respect copyright.PENANA1KcYxSa5ox
But that was exactly the reason Chui Yim could not bear and could not reject Choh Hang Sang. He knew the desire well.495Please respect copyright.PENANARm4wGw2b01
They started the lesson that night, with Chui Yim explaining weapon refining in simple terms first. The most important part was the technique.495Please respect copyright.PENANAWysaXVE7QC
The technique referred to Chui Yim’s fusion of superb forging techniques into alchemy. Even though forging was the main skill and alchemy was only the support, there were many skills involved that required use of many alchemy techniques.495Please respect copyright.PENANA35o0rwsiUL
What Choh Hang Sang lacked was alchemy skill.495Please respect copyright.PENANAuCnR3znA9e
Since Chui Yim would be leaving for Cloud Palace soon, he summarised a few years' worth of content as well as tricks to control flame for Choh Hang Sang in easy language. That was all that he’d need to pick up.495Please respect copyright.PENANAGu3nCUnaM7
Grass-refining didn’t make use of flames to forge as it was more about bringing out the potential of ingredients and gliphic plants used for the weapon.495Please respect copyright.PENANAtGOGSmCLD6
Choh Hang Sang was not even slightly impatient.495Please respect copyright.PENANAkrxXNIaunW
Being an elite in grass-refining who had reached a certain state, he was willing to become a disciple of a teenage boy just to bring his faction to further heights that he knew didn’t exist currently. It had been centuries since the birth of this faction, and the limit of grass-refining was only grandmaster; there had never been a divine grass-refining blacksmith.495Please respect copyright.PENANAMarzeScovC
This was what gave Choh Hang Sang the patience and determination to start from scratch. A hundred-year-old man might be slower in picking up new things, but as long as he had the determination, he would be fine.

There were two more days until Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee left for Cloud Palace.495Please respect copyright.PENANA0oqbtn1ACM
They had been busy receiving guests who came to congratulate them, but only those who came with sincere blessings; those with the intention of bootlicking them because of their new status were not welcomed.495Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ8Evkbf0T
Sadly, it was time for Yeung Chun to take his leave.495Please respect copyright.PENANAvYAhwHANbb
“Haha, Brother Chui and Brother Kam, the enrollment has ended, so I should return to Four Seasons Mountain with Siu Hun.” In all smiles, Yeung Chun bid them goodbye. Per usual, he was like a friendly old man instead of a peak leader of Four Seasons Mountain.495Please respect copyright.PENANAStvn2d9QE4
“Take care, Brother Yeung!” Chui Yim went up with a bear hug. Seeing how close his uncle was to a teen was an awkward scene for Yeung Tin Hun, so he took his leave first.495Please respect copyright.PENANA03EwW6fmoK
“Great Uncle, I’ll wait for you outside.”495Please respect copyright.PENANAqXbnC2B1jf
“Alright, I will join you soon!” Yeung Chun laughed. With that, Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho went out.495Please respect copyright.PENANAbgyo1N1hQA
“Visit Four Seasons Mountain if you have the chance in the future to experience the beauty of the North. I will do the honours and treat you to our delicacies!”495Please respect copyright.PENANAQq0TjhNZfY
“That’s a must!” Chui Yim laughed heartily.495Please respect copyright.PENANAPJo8glOXop
With that, Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim sent Yeung Chun, Yeung Tin Hun, and Man Yee Ho out, and they returned by the teleportation gliph formation.495Please respect copyright.PENANAYsLmePxXHB
“Sometimes I wonder if it’s just your luck or what…” Kam Chin Kee sighed sentimentally. “Getting a Four Seasons Peak Leader as your housekeeper just because you dined in a random shop?”495Please respect copyright.PENANAsbc6hovlEk
“Just by chance.” Chui Yim shook his head and returned to the residence.495Please respect copyright.PENANAW7os3FNSj3
Kam Chin Kee watched Chui Yim enter the house. Could it just be his friendly and straightforward character that makes him comfortable to be with? That was the same reason that I wanted to befriend him back then as well.495Please respect copyright.PENANAGqkR8xaf7G
Kam Chin Kee shook his head and laughed, not wanting to dwell more on it. The both of them went back to tidying the residence as they would be leaving two days later.495Please respect copyright.PENANAzuw1PyHkF2
But here came an unexpected guest.

“Your Grace, would it be inappropriate to put ourselves down like this by paying a special visit?”495Please respect copyright.PENANA7dzPIRfAuv
Two men stood in front of Chui Yim’s residence. One in the back and the other in the front.495Please respect copyright.PENANA0D3xO5tnB8
It was a familiar practice of every Lam Clan member, or rather, tradition.495Please respect copyright.PENANA8qBoOLs4c8
Every Lam Clan heir would have a teen of similar age arranged to them to become their shadow, and even if the heir was exiled to an isolated city of the South and the shadow had great talent that would allow him to join somewhere much better, the shadow would never abandon the heir, and this was what the shadows were for.495Please respect copyright.PENANAhE8SKoc35T
“Hehe.” The duke waved his hands. “The both of them are the Cloud Palace disciples of the current generation, it would make sense for even his Majesty to pay them a visit. Why would a normal person like me fear lowering myself?”495Please respect copyright.PENANA76Fo7YYUPO
Knock knock. He knocked on the door.

Currently in Evergreen Palace sat a frowning Lam Chun.495Please respect copyright.PENANA8KT26KbjXW
Every time he frowned, it was as if there would be a thunderstorm the next minute. Next to him stood his new shadow, Kei Mo.495Please respect copyright.PENANA2lzwmRnLtu
“Your Majesty, the situation isn’t as bad as you think it is,” Kei Mo analysed. “It’s unexpected, but it makes sense that Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim would become Cloud Palace disciples.495Please respect copyright.PENANAt3IhBEi7Bi
“Amongst the six participants, only Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee had no powerful background, thus the effects on politics are minor with them being selected. And in the past, most selected disciples of Cloud Palace came with no or minimal support; Second Teacher is the only one from a big organisation, Blazing Skies Mountain, this generation.”495Please respect copyright.PENANAL0VOUXqiQ1
“I know.” Lam Chun waved his hands, followed by a long pause. “How’s Lam Zaa?”495Please respect copyright.PENANAOlkEQkzVcB
“His Highness is still unwilling to leave Almighty Hall.” After a short pause, Kei Mo said softly.495Please respect copyright.PENANAJxbcqWjC9x
“Let him be. He has never experienced such a blow, and it might be a great chance.” Lam Chun caressed his dragon throne made of gold calmly, eyes like an ocean abyss, his actual thoughts unable to be deduced.495Please respect copyright.PENANA5LVFmwMnfT
Sixth Teacher? That orphan that I randomly took in has reached such a stage…495Please respect copyright.PENANA1cfMfiPmSX
“What’s that man doing right now?” After a long time, he asked casually.495Please respect copyright.PENANAPoz4M5FqWN
Of course Kei Mo knew who he meant. He lowered his head and started reporting slowly, “Woke up at seven, went to the nearby Phoenix Ceremony Inn to have breakfast. He ordered a bowl of pork porridge and fried dough.495Please respect copyright.PENANAyWnJllK6pa
“Then he returned to the royal palace to cultivate the Exquisite Jade Spearmanship and the Lam Clan’s Boundless Palm.495Please respect copyright.PENANA0J2IWJarRC
“He ate lunch at one o’clock and ordered…
Kei Mo reported as if he was telling a story. This was South Imperial City, and if the current emperor decided to keep an eye on you, it would last for twenty four hours and no detail would be missed because this city was filled with his eyes.495Please respect copyright.PENANAjc2ztTRDL9
“Four o’clock…” Kei Mo hesitated before speaking, “He went to the Wandering Son’s Lake residence to visit Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee.”495Please respect copyright.PENANAMR0SWTDS1G
Lam Chun creased his forehead, thoughts going back to decades ago.495Please respect copyright.PENANA2dYJrdk87N
He chose to exile him instead of taking his life, and this was his choice.495Please respect copyright.PENANAzWWZfe5k6C
What is he planning by returning to the city during such an important event, the Cloud Palace enrollment?
“Pass down to Chancellor Chui that I have something to discuss with him.”495Please respect copyright.PENANAMF5spg3dUz
“Your humble servant is willing to listen.”
