Chapter 49
South Imperial City.
In Evergreen Palace, Three Thousand Hall, the main courtyard was still engulfed in darkness, just like the previous time.
Dab dab
A night heron flew across the dark sky, flying towards the main courtyard and landing on a window frame.It tapped with its beak continuously, as if informing the owner that it had bought a message.
A snowy white hand reached out towards the heron, grabbing the slip of paper in its claw. Hmm?
A coquettish gasp rang out, followed by a long pause. Sit Ting You wont let me have peace even when youre dead, huh? The slender hands picked up a brush from the table, scribbling something on the paper.
Within no time, she was done. Kill them all was all she wrote on the paper.
She tied the letter to the herons claws and sent it off, watching it spread its wings and disappear into the night sky. This heron was no ordinary heron, but a Night Heron King, a grade three gliphic beast. Even a four-chambered glipher might not be able to catch it easily. It was a short message, skipping the details since she knew that they would understand her.
Even with Kan Hangs protection, that child must die.
Chui Yim was feeling troubled. He could feel energliph in his body grow, but he was still nowhere near breaking through to the one-chambered state. Even though the later a glipher broke through, the stronger they were, it also meant that he was unable to exhibit his real power.
By using Flowing Flame Finger, he was able to carve gliphs despite not breaking through. But this would put him at a disadvantage when facing an enemy. He was so slow that he would not finish carving a gliph even when the other party killed him.
However, there was no way he could rush the process. It seemed that his physical ability had reached a limit of fifteen minutes, and there was no further progress to be seen despite Lam Mings cooking and Chui Yims daily physical training.
After Lam Ming left, Chui Yim turned into a cranky kid who was unhappy twenty four-seven. And the main victim of his bad mood was none other than Kiu Chi Gong, who received numerous scoldings from the moody Chui Yim, lashing out whenever he made a mistake in forging. However, Kiu Chi Gong was not even slightly unhappy with Chui Yim. He actually respected Chui Yim more instead.
Chui Yim rarely flared up, but when he did, he always hit the mark with his comments. Kiu Chi Gong, who learnt the incomplete Kiu Clans method from a young age had a good foundation. After some teaching from Chui Yim, his skills skyrocketed, and he could see a massive improvement in his gliph carving skills in just a few days. Kiu Chi Gong also realised that within a month, he could try creating grade two gliph weapons himself.
This knowledge made him even more happy when Chui Yim lashed out on him. He was even willing to give Chui Yim water so he wouldnt get a sore throat from all the scolding.
Let me tell you, youd better copy this Tornado Gliph a hundred times today. If not, youll get it from me tomorrow, hmph, Chui Yim said before leaving, keeping Kiu Chi Gong on his toes. Chui Yim always ended off with a humph, but the unknown penalties always kept Kiu Chi Gong nervous, making him always finish Chui Yims homework with extra care and effort.
Fifty thousand silver tales. Chan Ching gulped and smiled bitterly. Its way more than we expected, and there was an intense fight for it. Many could tell how good this weapon is. Clan Leader, usually a grade two gliph weapon, costs ten thousand silver taels or at most twenty thousand silver taels.
I even received reports that after the auction, many gliphers tried to hunt down the glipher who managed to buy the weapon successfully to rob him. But the glipher already disappeared without a trace before they could.
Clan Leader, fifty thousand silver taels for a grade two gliph weapon. Chan Chings face fell. If its a great master who made this He will cause great damage to the clan in the future!
What did father say? Chan Tiet asked after a pause. Of course, he was referring to Chan Lai Faat.
The Old Clan Leader said that this is normal due to the style of the weapon. It might be a rod, but it suits gliphers who fights fiercely. If it suits a glipher, its price could even go up to a hundred thousand silver taels. Moreover, the Old Clan Leader will never agree to any of our future plans.
Chan Tiet nodded. As the most powerful clan in the weapon street, normally no other weapon shops could survive, but due to Chan Lai Faat who had friendly relations with their grandparents or parents of the surviving shops, they left them alone and even gave them resources at times. They could be known as the opponents that Chan Clan raised.
As for the Kiu Clan, they once had a Divine Master in their clan. Out of respect, the Chan Clan didnt eliminate them. Thus Chan Lai Faat would definitely disagree if Chan Tiet wanted to lay his hands on the Kiu Clan.
Chan Tiet might be the current Clan Leader, but everyone knew that Chan Lai Faat was the actual leader instead if he spoke up.
The possibility of Kiu Chi Gong being the great master isnt high. Weve looked into him in the past. He has skills but nobody to teach him. As a poor person who picked up forging on his own, grade two gliph weapons will be his limit. Chan Tiet hummed, rubbing his teacup unconsciously. I think we should focus on the teen.
Ever since he appeared at the Kiu Clan, a grade two gliph weapon appeared as well. It might sound impossible, but I feel that it has something to do with him for sure.
Chan Ching listened quietly as he bowed, waiting for Chan Tiets order.
I think itll be good to send someone to talk to Kiu Chi Gong and offer to buy his shop for ten thousand silver taels in the name of expansion. If hes willing, well take him in as a metalsmith and make him an elder.
Great idea! Chan Ching clapped. Not only will the Old Clan Leader be happy with the arrangement, well get to watch him forge if he becomes our elder too. Even if hes stupid enough to reject the offer of becoming an elder, well have one less opponent too.
Hmm Chan Tiet replied, furrowing his brows. Im just worried that hell disagree. Southarys Weapon Steet is the place where the Kiu Clan prospered and fell. Its meaningful to the Kiu Clan descendants after all
If he doesnt know how to appreciate favours, then he cant blame us for being cold. If our Old Clan Leader is angered, this Chan Ching shall take the blame. Chan Ching smirked. As the Chan Clans housekeeper, he was willing to do all sorts of work, whether it was dirty or not.
Its our blessing to have you and your father as our housekeeper, Chan Tiet said, looking at Chan Ching in gratitude.
Youre welcome, Clan Leader. Chan Ching bowed.
