Chapter 477

Chapter 477

The boys felt the heat of summer, but in reality, summer should’ve been way hotter in South Imperial City. They were unable to feel it due to the gliph formation around the city, which somehow protected them from the real weather.

There wasn’t bone-chilling cold in the winter, only romantic, soft snow. The same went for the blazing summer; all the city felt was a comfortable temperature.

This was the life that many people desired – superiority.

But not for Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee. The former even felt that it was an illusion that he wished to escape from. Thus, he sped up.

Stunned, Kam Chin Kee chased after him.

The distance between their residence and the outer sect was short, which was one of the reasons why Chui Yim purchased this residence back then. When they arrived, they were welcomed with a funny-looking figure.

A dirty and ordinary-looking girl was waiting for them with a huge backpack that was many times larger than herself on her back.

The sight brought Chui Yim back to that day at Southary in Riding Clouds Academy where he met her for the first time. She turned around, flashing the boys a huge smile. “Don’t you guys think of abandoning me.”

The trio laughed, and Chui Yim kept her baggage in his Divine Bracelet of Five Elements as they headed into the Cloud Palace outer sect’s small field.

There was already somebody waiting for them. Watching them arrive, a chubby man stood up excitedly. “Brother Chui! Hahaha! You’re here! You’ve made it! Erm... I’ll have to call you Youngest Junior Brother after the ceremony.”

“She’s...?” Hui Sai Cheong looked at Lam Ming Sum.

“Senior Brother Hui, she’s my assistant. Is that fine?” Kam Chin Kee asked.

“Of course, I’m just curious.” Hui Sai Cheong looked at Lam Ming Sum. He was a naive man, and Cloud Palace only consisted of the same few people. Thus, it made him happy to have anybody new coming over.

To the Cloud Palace disciples, they were a family, and they cared nothing about each other’s past. Hui Sai Cheong flicked his fingers, and a door made of light appeared in front of the teenagers.

Under Hui Sai Cheong’s lead, the teenagers came over to the group.

“Welcome, junior brothers.” Song Tsz smiled gently, expressing his welcome. “I believe that there’s not much need for me to introduce ourselves.”

“Greetings, Teacher Cheuk and Teacher Woo.” Kam Chin Kee greeted, which the both of them avoided, not accepting the courtesy.

Seeing this, Sung Tsz Hin explained. “As part of Cloud Palace, there isn’t a need to address others as Teacher unless you wish to. Our master is so powerful that nobody dares to say they are on the same level as him.” With that, he called the kid over. “Come over, Siu Chu.”

“Yes, Teacher!” A bell-like voice rang across the area, adding liveliness to the forest.

“This is Chu Wan Shue, a poor thing that I met a few years ago. It was fate, so I brought him back as an assistant, you have to take good care of him!”

Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee agreed without hesitation, while Lam Ming Sum stared at Siu Chu with kindness.

“Senior Brother, let’s not make the junior brothers wait too long. Help them settle down before we head to Master,” Yim Mo Chiu said. She might’ve seemed hot-tempered but in fact, she was tough on the outside but soft-hearted in reality. After her master confirmed that Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim would be taken in, she viewed the both of them as younger brothers.

Chui Yim thanked her and they made their way up the mountain. Even Wat Suen was walking with her walking sticks. Chui Yim couldn’t bear to watch this scene, but it made the cold Wat Suen laugh. “There’s no need, Junior Brother.”

“Junior Brother, Fifth Junior Sister seems disabled, but she has plenty of methods, she’s just unwilling to use them,” Yim Mo Chiu explained.

Wat Suen nodded in agreement. Looking at Chui Yim, she spoke up after some time. “I heard about the Engraved Mountain Range incident. Is Shing Chit... doing well?”

Chui Yim raised an eyebrow curiously. He was close to Chor Shing Chit, thus he clearly knew that Chor Shing Chit, Wong Kwan, and Wat Suen had a complicated relationship. So it’s true, I see.

“Not really. He drinks at night and rambles about his regrets back at the Engraved Mountain Range, which confuses me,” Chui Yim said, which was partially a lie.

“He still can’t let it go...” The naive Wat Suen was stunned at the reply and returned to silence, unwilling to speak even when Chui Yim tried to make more conversation with her.
