Unlike Chui Yim, who exerted dominance during the visit to the Wong Clan, Kam Chin Kee was a reserved teenager, taking on the classic character of Cloud Palace members.339Please respect copyright.PENANAd28XyPDMuw
His victory over Lee Bat Fan ended with no spectators and as an unanswered mystery to the public. They turned to the Lee Clan for answers, but as expected, they returned empty-handed as Lee Bat Fan rejected all guests with the reason of being injured, leaving Kam Chin Kee’s ability as a mystery.339Please respect copyright.PENANAnkkKM6qLXi
This was the impression of Cloud Palace to the world; mysterious yet too powerful to be ignored.339Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fj0G7dFt7
With that, Lee Bat Fan became the first cultivator to challenge the current Cloud Palace Itinerants and the first person to fail.
The world knew that this was just the start, as Itinerants of Cloud Palace mostly stayed around for about a year, yet it was only day two of Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim’s journey. The nosy commoners knew that there would be more interesting “stories” for them, at least for this year.

The next day, Chui Yim woke up feeling refreshed. With the state of his physical body, he would not experience hangovers.339Please respect copyright.PENANAdBPTg7n6RW
Lam Ming Sum had also returned from the palace. They kept her Ming Sum Hall around, but after becoming a Cloud Palace assistant, she had a special status and no longer needed to reside in the palace. She only returned for visiting purposes.
339Please respect copyright.PENANAxj03hcmO2K
She paid Old Ngai, Kan Hang, and her father a visit this time around. Lam Ming Sum initially thought of visiting her half-brother, but in the end, she did not and returned to the Wandering Son’s Lake residence straight away.339Please respect copyright.PENANAEdXbV2sqzj
“Brother Chui, letters for you!” She entered the house with a huge pile of papers, dumping it in front of Chui Yim.339Please respect copyright.PENANAHxbYIgaqz2
“Letters?” The huge pile nearly made Chui Yim choke on his bun.339Please respect copyright.PENANAxb0NvRKBPr
“They are invitations.” Kam Chin Kee sat next to Chui Yim, casually picking up a bun for breakfast. “Should be the after-effects of yesterday’s fight.”339Please respect copyright.PENANAFx2xEVAWLR
Lam Ming Sum had already heard about the incident with Lee Bat Fan from them, thus she was left confused. “It was just a battle, why are they sending so many invitations?”339Please respect copyright.PENANAbXWAahFI9R
“Most probably because they believe that two two-chambered Itinerants won’t make it far.” Chui Yim sneered. He figured out the situation after hearing from Kam Chin Kee. “Yesterday, Chin Kee defeated Lee Bat Fan at lightning speed, which most probably shocked them, and now they’re all trying to bootlick us… Cloud Palace that’s behind us, to be exact.”339Please respect copyright.PENANAXdCXpKGTf1
“Oh?” Kam Chin Kee swallowed his food and passed a letter to Chui Yim. “There’s an interesting invitation here. And it’s for you.”339Please respect copyright.PENANAUKpusYIq11
Chui Yim tore a marriage proposal from some clan for both of them and took the letter from Kam Chin Kee. It looked more like an ancient scripture than an invitation, and he felt peace when he took it in his hands.339Please respect copyright.PENANAUXHNJH9HsC
“Indeed interesting,” Chui Yim wore a smile. “I’ll head over alone tomorrow.”339Please respect copyright.PENANAfDmLg0CTGr
“I’ll continue looking for more worthy of our attention.” Kam Chin Kee shrugged.

The next day, Chui Yim walked along the avenue.339Please respect copyright.PENANAEtJCypCrkO
They had a busy schedule since their return, like how Chui Yim paid a visit to the Wong Clan right after he learned about the position the Chor Clan was currently in.339Please respect copyright.PENANA6UQORrxhqc
Since they knew that they would not be staying in South Imperial City for long, they rushed to complete all errands before they left. There was also the kindness they needed to return, and now, Chui Yim was on the way to do so.339Please respect copyright.PENANABsI28tASoV
He was currently at Black Tortoise Avenue in South Imperial City.339Please respect copyright.PENANA6vMFrvYurn
South Imperial City was an enormous city where even some institutions within were the size of some remote cities. Chui Yim even had to spend a significant amount of time on a carriage to get to his destination, which was in a remote area of Black Tortoise Avenue.339Please respect copyright.PENANAHILGaT4CD7
Being the royal capital of the South, land prices increased the closer they were to Evergreen Palace.339Please respect copyright.PENANASDKarXnduH
For example, with the Black Tortoise Auction House’s location, every inch of land was a sky-high price. In contrast, the nearer the land was to the city gates, the cheaper and more normal it was. The capability to reside in South Imperial City already proved one’s status, yet there were still comparisons between the rich. All residents couldn't be wealthy, especially in this huge South Imperial City.339Please respect copyright.PENANAb2woUNTAKj
Clans naturally needed servants to work for them, and positions like shopkeepers, housekeepers, waiters, and many more were necessary for the bustling streets to function.339Please respect copyright.PENANALoPdrSSfBO
These workers needed residences too. Thus, a stark disparity between wealth and poverty was something that even Lam Chun could not change.339Please respect copyright.PENANAjw2hxynLqd
The further north Chui Yim went, the weirder he felt the place was. On his way, he met many who greeted him with their palms together. Some smiled at him kindly, and some even gave Chui Yim items. Chui Yim received things like silver taels and vegetables. It weirded him out, but he received them nonetheless.339Please respect copyright.PENANABsBbbaS6q2
It did not take him long to see teenagers with the same hairstyle as him walking all around the place.339Please respect copyright.PENANA77X1IxCz2W
I never felt inconvenienced with my hairstyle even during my past life. Only now, seeing this scene, makes me have second thoughts about being bald. Maybe I should grow my hair. He sighed. This was the first time he wanted to grow hair.339Please respect copyright.PENANAn2r8JwznyG
This was the world of Buddhism. Shortly, a few monks came to him, greeting him with a bow. Chui Yim wasn’t surprised as he knew that he had entered their territory.339Please respect copyright.PENANAKW5qITv6LJ
“Benefactor Chui, the abbot has ordered this monk and my fellow companions here to receive you.”

Chui Yim followed the innocent-looking little monks, watching the public give them items sincerely like a curious cat. He was surprised at the generosity, as he knew that these residents who gifted the monks items weren’t the rich of South Imperial City, yet they chose to donate to them selflessly.339Please respect copyright.PENANAYvijbCwhCQ
He knew that this was known as soliciting alms. Ever since Chui Yim received Fury, he could be considered to be the only successor of the Thousand-Leaves Sect as well as the only successor of Buddhism. The only issue was that Chui Yim wasn’t a Buddhist himself.339Please respect copyright.PENANAdnuw2fQ0tE
After some time, Chui Yim followed the monks to a little village that was surrounded by a fence. It was a weird scene to see such a village that looked like it was from a remote area in South Imperial City, and Chui Yim was surprised to know that this was the famous Apex Temple.339Please respect copyright.PENANAtqESsTSqJP
The interesting invitation Chui Yim received yesterday was from Mute, inviting him to Apex Temple for a catch-up. Chui Yim couldn’t reject Mute’s invitation, as he had successfully cultivated the second state of Invincible Diamond Body, which had three states: bronze skin, steel bones, and golden body.
It happened after he broke through to the two-chambered state.339Please respect copyright.PENANARoumo5RQLZ
Chui Yim felt the benefits this style brought him.339Please respect copyright.PENANAoluA8T6nIy
The saying that all gliphs in the world originated from Cloud Palace was not the most accurate. It should be the library in Cloud Palace with a huge crystal ball hanging from the ceiling and a comfortable bamboo rocking chair outside the door.
