Chapter 61
As the spies went after the man in black, the bald youth made his way through the brightly lit streets to the familiar city gates. Old coachman! I want to go back!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Okay!
And the hardyhorse left Southary for the small village with them. Upon arrival, the youth paid for the fees and watched the coachman leave before heading out of the village instead of going home.
It was the same cave, with the same spherical rock blocking the entrance. Two years had passed, and the workshop was even more secure than before. Thanks to someones father, who destroyed all the defensive mechanisms within, he decided to strengthen the defences.
Master, youre back! As soon as he entered the cave, a respectful voice called out.
Yeah. The bald youth was none other than Chui Yim.
He grew a lot in the past two years, and he was now about 160 centimetres tall. The only thing he disliked was his fair skin that never tanned despite spending a long time under the sun. We earned another 40,000 silver taels! Chui Yim laughed as he threw the bag on the ground, a large amount of silver spilling out.
Unlike Chui Yim who was brimming with excitement, money wasnt that big a deal to Kiu Chi Gong as his forging skills were the most important. Other than the money used to purchase crafting materials, all remaining profits were given to Chui Yim as Kiu Chi Gongs self-decided school fees. Under Chui Yim's guidance, Kiu Chi Gongs skills improved rapidly. Even though he was guessing his way around with the remaining parts of his clans legacy, Kiu Chi Gongs foundation turned out to be solid.
With Chui Yims guidance, he improved by leaps and bounds; he could already create grade two gliph weapons. The gliph weapon that was just sold was made entirely by Kiu Chi Gong; Chui Yim only gave him some ideas and inputs.
But this is likely to be our last time. The Chan Clan has already noticed us, and someone trailed after me today when I went to collect the proceeds at the auction house. If not for this gadget I made previously Chui Yim said thoughtfully as he took out a palm-sized jade badge and played with it.
Then what should we do, master? Kiu Chi Gong asked, at a loss.
It was a weird sight to see an adult consulting a teenager for instructions. But in these past two years, Kiu Chi Gong never had to worry about anything. Chui Yim settled everything from accommodation, food, and even forging materials. Kiu Chi Gong only needed to focus on forging and his cultivation. He led a good life.
Now that things were changing, Kiu Chi Gong felt extremely uncomfortable. Chui Yim sighed and patted Kiu Chi Gong on his shoulder. It might be time for us to part ways.
Why? These words made Kiu Chi Gong jump.
He wasnt trying to speak up for the man, but that was the truth. It was hard to break through the various chambers, thus the difference between each chamber was huge. If there was a three-chambered glipher in this situation, it was a piece of cake to wipe out the entire Chan Clan single-handedly.
After a short pause, Chan Tiet got Sir Cha to continue. Continue.
I feel that the teenager we met in the alley was the weirdest.
All the spies exchanged glances, unable to understand the situation. That teenager was just an ordinary youth! Why is Sir Cha talking about him?
The teenager looks very familiar, and his bald, shiny head was what caught my eye. After thinking back, I realised it was Chui Yim, the teenager the Clan Leader once sent me to do a background check on.
Absurd. Chan Tiet frowned. So youre saying that the man in black is Chui Yim? You guys described the man as at least two meters tall; how can a twelve-year-old kid become two meters tall?
Sir Cha shook his head. Like what the Clan Leader said, the small bag Chui Yim carries isnt enough to store all the proceeds of about forty thousand silver taels. But I have a feeling that its related to him.
The mysterious great master, the Kiu Clan, Kiu Chi Gong, Chui Yim who always goes to the Kiu Chan, the Man in black and Chui Yim who happened to be in the alley Furrowing his eyebrows, Sir Cha never thought that he had guessed the truth so simply. I feel like they are somehow related.
Clan Leader, Chan Ching spoke up immediately. Sir Cha might not be a powerful cultivator, but hes meticulous, and I believe him.Chan Tiet only glanced at Chan Ching and said nothing. Chan Ching and the spies had a one for all, all for one relationship. It was no surprise that he would speak up for them,
Chan Tiet thought about it. Chui Yim might be suspicious, but hes still a student of the Riding Clouds Academy no matter what. If you guys are discovered, we will be in deep trouble.
Clan Leader, did you forget that we have Chan Clan members in the academy? Chan Ching reminded him.
You mean Siu Tin? Chan Tiet looked up, shocked.
Yes! Chan Ching smiled. Young Master Ngou Tin has been a student of the academy for many years, and he already has some influence in school. Many of his followers will become branch members of the Chan Clan when they graduate. Its best to let Young Master Ngou Tin observe Chui Yim!
Chan Tiet took another teacup and took a sip. Within a split second, he thought of many things. Okay, let Siu Tin supervise Chui Yim. Dont act alone if he discovers anything, but report to us instead.
This is our first mission for him.
