Night of the Broken Gliph

All the spies stared at Chui Yim, who wore a broad smile on his face, fearfully as if they saw a devil.

What do you want Im from the Wong Clan! one of them shouted.

Wong Clan? Chui Yim became increasingly friendlier as he walked up to hold his hands. What a prestigious clan!

Pleased with Chui Yims attitude, the gilpher sneered. Hmph! Im glad you know the Wong Clan is something you cant mess with! Quickly give me the antidote and tell me how you got the special quota, or else

Seeing how the Wong Clan glipher seemingly got off the hook after revealing his background, other gliphers made their mind to follow in his footsteps. But just then, Chui Yims face changed as he slapped the glipher!

How dare you the Wong Clan glipher growled subconsciously.

So what! Chui Yim replied angrily as he slapped him again. The gliphers finally realised that they werent able to use their energliph. Remembering the poison Chui Yim mentioned, cold beads of sweat rolled down their forehead.

Im just happy youre from a big clan, so I can sell you for a good price! Are you still unaware of your situation? Chui Yim glared at the spy furiously. How dare you threaten me after barging into my house and getting seriously injured? Is there something wrong with your brain?

Did you not see whats on my door? Chui Yim shouted, pointing at the horizontal scroll. How dare you enter without money? Stay and pay with your life since you dare to enter! What made you think the mechanisms you activated are free?

He moved closer to the Wong Clan spy and pointed at him. Wong Clan, huh? What a prestigious clan indeed. I bet theyre rich. Your life will cost one hundred thousand silver taels. Get them to ransom you or youll become my plants fertiliser!

Be it Tse On, Kam Chin Kee, Chor Shing Chit or the spies, they were all stunned.

Ransom him? What a gangster!

Its easier for you to just kill us! Why shame us in this way!? another spy roared.

Shame you!? Chui Yim stared daggers at him, his bald head shining brightly under the light. You poor idiots arent even qualified to be shamed by me! How dare you, a thief who failed to break into my house, act so daringly? Dont worry, I wont let you die so easily. Ill treat you all well. You see, Ive just refined a few more poisonous elixirs, but Im lacking some lab rats. If whoevers behind you doesnt pay up, Ill welcome the free test subject! Im very economical; I wont waste any resources!

All the spies started panicking. Their faces were as white as paper. Everything would be over if they died, but if they became human subjects who were administered unknown poisons that was a fate worse than death!

Chui Yim ignored them as he turned to Chor Shing Chit. Chor boy, one hundred thousand silver taels for the Wong Clan guy. You can decide the price for the rest and pass me the money afterwards.

This kid Chor Shing Chits mouth twitched. But as someone who knew Chui Yims character, he said nothing as he turned to the spies with a pitying expression. Ive known him long, and he doesnt joke around. I advise you all to get your clans to bail you out

Chor Shing Chit sighed. All the spies felt like their world had collapsed. Who would have thought that the best spies of their respective clans would lose to a teen?

After thanking the Chor Clan and Tse Clan members and sending them off personally, he discussed various matters with Chor Shing Chit.

Unlike the Tse Clan members who respected Chui Yim highly as he treated Tse Yu Bak and thus solving their issue of not have a descendant to take over the clan, not many of the Chor Clan knew that Chui Yim was the one who tattooed Chor Shing Chits gliph. It was a secret that only Chor Chun Ping and Chor Shing Chit knew. Even Chor Chong Hoi, an important clan elder, knew nothing.

So Chu Yim was just a lucky boy who became friends with young master Chor, a dog who used his masters strength.

Meanwhile, the spies were locked in the storeroom, unable to activate their energliph due to the unknown poison Chui Yim used.

It was already night by the time Chui Yim was able to rest. He returned to his residence only to see Kam Chin Kee sitting in the living room, drinking tea by himself.

Hes too easy-going! Chui Yim looked at him speechlessly as he snatched the teapot over, pouring the contents in his mouth greedily.

Kam Chin Kee continued to look at him with a smile and a hint of awkwardness in his dark, shiny eyes. There isnt such a poison, right? Ten Days to Heaven. Its something you made up.

Uh-huh. Chui Yim placed the teapot back on the table as he shrugged. I just used an improved version of the dissolved tendon powder.

Everything You Can Do With Dissolved Tendon Powder by Great Master Chan Sai Ping. Kam Chin Kee laughed. You used the golden aroma dissolved tendon powder, am I right?

I see that you are well read. Chui Yim laughed.

The book, Everything You Can Do With Dissolved Tendon Powder, was deemed useless by Chi Ping, the guest doctor of the Tse Clan who had passed on, but it was a treasure to Chui Yim. He read this book extensively as he saw countless possibilities from it. Dissolved tendon powder wasnt rare; there were many possible mixtures with different functions if you used it as the main ingredient.

This was a simple yet great ingredient. Seeing its potential, Chui Yim used it to supplement his mechanisms, working spectacularly in tandem. The golden aroma dissolved tendon powder that Kam Chin Kee pointed out could suppress ones energliph, and it worked great on two-chambered cultivators and below, but it would have minimal impact on three-chambered gliphers.

Brother Chuis residence is huge. Do you live alone? Kam Chin Kee stood up and walked around.

Yes. Ive just moved recently. Chui Yim nodded.

I see that there are a few more empty rooms. Isnt this place too huge for brother Chui to stay alone in? Kam Chin Kee acted calm as he asked.

Speak your mind. Chui Yim frowned. Dont beat around the bush.

Brother Chui is straightforward indeed. Kam Chin Kee laughed as he clapped. Im planning on finding external accommodations. What does brother Chui think of me renting a room from you?
