Chapter 88
The Cloud Palace holds a special place in the South or should I say, in the entire world. Nobody knows how long Cloud Palace has been around, all we know is that it existed even before the birth of the Lam dynasty. In legends, it was said to have existed even before gliphism became widespread. In the end, legends are just legends. The only fact that nobody in the world could deny was
That Cloud Palace is the most powerful organisation in the world.
Most powerful? Chui Yim furrowed his brows.
Yes, not one of them, but the most powerful, Bak Wun replied straightforwardly. They are the most powerful. He stressed his words again.
Cloud Palace is a special existence, Chor Shing Chit continued, ignoring Bak Wun. They never poke their noses into worldly affairs, but their existence itself already has a great impact on the world. The golden rule of whatever happens in the institution stays there that South dies by originated from the Cloud Palace.
The North had always been eyeing the South like a tiger, but they never dared to join forces to take down the Lam dynasty all because of Cloud Palace. No comments were ever made by them, but their existence itself was enough to make the North fear. Thats how powerful they are.
What organisation are they? They are so powerful that they could suppress three organisations alone. From the books, Chui Yim knew that the Blazing Skies Mountain, Imperial Sunset Palace and Four Season Mountain were all guarded by five-chambered and thousand-gliphic state elites.
Erm The Cloud Palace isnt an organisation to be exact, but an institution.
Chui Yim was left speechless by this comment. So the Cloud Palace is the most influential institution in the entire world?
The Cloud Palaces power originates not only from their elites, but also its graduates. More than five of their alumni are of five-chambered or thousand-gliphic state.
Chui Yim spread out his fingers, counting. Theres not more than ten known elites in this world of the state now, though.
The Cloud Palace only takes in seven, never more, disciples per generation. Thus they have a small cohort of seven disciples every generation. The selected disciples have never failed to turn out as a one of flying colours. And amongst the seven, there would definitely be one who tops the cohort.
Thats where I plan to bring you to, Bak Wun interrupted. Youre qualified to give the enrollment test a try, little monster.
The enrollment test will take place in two years time. With your talent, itll be good to give it a try. However, nothing is absolute, as talent and ability arent the only factors they look out for. I failed when I tried previously, twenty years ago, Chor Shing Chit wore a complicated look as he said to Chui Yim.
Tse Yu Bak said nothing, taking in Chui Yims words slowly. He only took up his cup after some time. Alright, never forget this. The Night Lion Tse Clan is brother Chuis friend forever.
Hahaha! Who cares about the Night Lion Tse Clan? My brother is Tse Yu Bak, not the Tse Clan.
Come!
Cheers!
Night fell. Chui Yim dragged Tse Yu Bak back to the Tse Mansion.
I can still drink Tse Yu Bak mumbled to himself. Even though he consumed wine to relieve his sorrows, it was only in small amounts, unlike Chui Yim who downed jugs at a time. It was an extremely tiring task to get Tse Yu Bak back, so tiring that poor Chui Yim even suspected that he would trigger his heart deficiency if the trip back to Tse Mansion took a longer time.
Immediately after entering the mansion, servants came to fetch Tse Yu Bak seeing how drunk their young master was, also not forgetting to thank Chui Yim. All of them gasped silently at how a child was even a better drinker than their young master. But that was all in their head; nobody dared to say anything in reality.
After handling Tse Yu Bak over to his servants, Chui Yim returned to his room, slightly dizzy.
Creak.
He opened the door to this room to be welcomed by a sweet scent. The scent made Chui Yim drowsy, it felt like he was in a flower bush.
This made Chui Yims eyes shoot open immediately, and he was now fully awake. Being profound in medicine, he had come in contact with many medications and gliphic plants under Chui Tins teaching.
This is the nightmare bloom!
He took a step back immediately. At the same time, a figure dashed out from the shadowed parts of his room, moving towards Chui Yim at lighting speed. Chui Yim was able to catch the light on both the persons feets in the dark.
A two-chambered glipher!
