Thus, Chui Yim became a grandmaster’s master overnight.349Please respect copyright.PENANAzs383le0GW
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!349Please respect copyright.PENANAEcZN2M2S14
But that was exactly the reason Chui Yim could not bear and could not reject Choh Hang Sang. He knew the desire well.349Please respect copyright.PENANAowm4md4Bul
They started the lesson that night, with Chui Yim explaining weapon refining in simple terms first. The most important part was the technique.349Please respect copyright.PENANAVLJk18Ow4w
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAB4bMfP7W66
What Choh Hang Sang lacked was alchemy skill.349Please respect copyright.PENANA9pDVZb0LUd
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAnlqUbMcCc7
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAz0exHqQli4
Choh Hang Sang was not even slightly impatient.349Please respect copyright.PENANAc6M6T9Pyw9
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANA10ky3x2yxe
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAayPjKanXdo
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAeDWwpRLsIb
Sadly, it was time for Yeung Chun to take his leave.349Please respect copyright.PENANAbEAMLamUtM
“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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAJb1wpQdjZQ
“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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAGel5ub6oCl
“Great Uncle, I’ll wait for you outside.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAAPINPQaG8t
“Alright, I will join you soon!” Yeung Chun laughed. With that, Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho went out.349Please respect copyright.PENANA0G9xFMdyWp
“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!”349Please respect copyright.PENANAeDe5lXHC5S
“That’s a must!” Chui Yim laughed heartily.349Please respect copyright.PENANAWTroaiLE99
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAWCohz5wAnp
“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?”349Please respect copyright.PENANAnncqRWPktb
“Just by chance.” Chui Yim shook his head and returned to the residence.349Please respect copyright.PENANAuJty5k3a9V
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAbirGdDXrwX
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAP2uhcU3xpK
But here came an unexpected guest.

“Your Grace, would it be inappropriate to put ourselves down like this by paying a special visit?”349Please respect copyright.PENANAOA6xYRab9P
Two men stood in front of Chui Yim’s residence. One in the back and the other in the front.349Please respect copyright.PENANAA5DFUaX4qo
It was a familiar practice of every Lam Clan member, or rather, tradition.349Please respect copyright.PENANAF90OHDWCKJ
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAFYmziYcAsP
“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?”349Please respect copyright.PENANAiDaUDP3926
Knock knock. He knocked on the door.

Currently in Evergreen Palace sat a frowning Lam Chun.349Please respect copyright.PENANA8V7esHk8C5
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAUGbf7a2BAv
“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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAtRboMeiRpO
“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.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Z20d99Rd
“I know.” Lam Chun waved his hands, followed by a long pause. “How’s Lam Zaa?”349Please respect copyright.PENANA69eYPtLe0o
“His Highness is still unwilling to leave Almighty Hall.” After a short pause, Kei Mo said softly.349Please respect copyright.PENANAdchfxF5DN6
“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.349Please respect copyright.PENANABDySg1nBZa
Sixth Teacher? That orphan that I randomly took in has reached such a stage…349Please respect copyright.PENANAbCowWWOHER
“What’s that man doing right now?” After a long time, he asked casually.349Please respect copyright.PENANAiGW0GAOifu
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANArdKAnFGUch
“Then he returned to the royal palace to cultivate the Exquisite Jade Spearmanship and the Lam Clan’s Boundless Palm.349Please respect copyright.PENANA0oaT50Z90t
“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.349Please respect copyright.PENANA1XUrVKb6D7
“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.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAPoaz2NUYxo
Lam Chun creased his forehead, thoughts going back to decades ago.349Please respect copyright.PENANAuQZUyXYU5B
He chose to exile him instead of taking his life, and this was his choice.349Please respect copyright.PENANAzEBVcQBVzG
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.”349Please respect copyright.PENANABkJEziRTVg
“Your humble servant is willing to listen.”
