Chapter 520
At this moment, Wong Chow Yip happened to enter with a tray, just in time to hear the conversation. It made him shudder, but Wong Chow Yip kept his composure and made tea.
As if not noticing Wong Chow Yip, Chui Yim glared at Wong Pak, a four-chambered glipher that could seriously injure or kill him at any time, without the slightest respect.
Hidden in the Hidden Cloud gliph was not just his Sunray gliph that could light up the entire world, but Fury as well. Only when Chui Yim woke up from his coma did he discover the milky flame was not simply Ka Yi’s spiritual flame, it also contained the Buddhist doctrine of the Thousand-Leaves Sect.
In other words, Chui Yim, who inherited Fury, became an actual Buddhist descendant of this generation.
This situation reminded Chui Yim of a Buddhist saying; “Moderation and flexibility are important in life. We shouldn’t be too extreme and leave room for ourselves and others.”
Chui Yim turned to Wong Pak fearlessly like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.
“Being too extreme will only lead to a worse situation.”
He took the teacup that Wong Chow Yip handed him with shaky hands and downed it immediately. “Thank you, for the warm hospitality. I shall take my leave now.”
It had been less than fifteen minutes since Chui Yim arrived, and he was already about to take his leave. Chui Yim was simply that straightforward.
Kam Chin Kee watched Chui Yim leave. He flashed a bitter and apologetic smile at Wong Pak. “I apologize on behalf of my junior brother to Sir Wong. He speaks too rudely.”
Wong Pak did not respond. He only wore an ugly expression.
“However...”
Kam Chin Kee spoke, looking up at the ceiling – at the tiger hanging from the ceiling, to be exact. It was being hung from the ceiling by sixty-four Cosmic Ropes made of precious metals. The ropes were fantastic conductors that transmitted the statue's energliph aura without waste towards all corners of the clan.
“Old Sir Wong previously asked us to evaluate the statue, right?
“I’m sure you might have heard...” Kam Chin Kee paused, pointing at his nose. “I’m Craftsman Kam.”
Wong Chow Yip’s heart dropped instantly as sorrow took over slowly. “But the Wong Clan cannot do without you, grandpa!”
“My silly boy.” Wong Pak sighed. “There’s no party in the world that does not come to an end.
“They were right. I was fighting for resources and a base for the clan, as the clan doesn’t understand how powerful the Chor Clan is.
“Chow Yip, you are my grandson, and the Wong clan leader a hundred years later. You must understand how terrifying the Chor Clan is,” Wong Pak said seriously.
“They have strict self-discipline and remain humble despite their formidable strength. Such enemies are fearsome; they never stop improving quietly while you fail to realise and let your guard down. When you do realise, they have grown beyond your reach.”
“Look, during the past few centuries, how many geniuses has their clan produced? There was even a saying that they could have become the imperial family if they wished.”
“But, they’re just an ordinary clan!” It was Wong Chow Yip’s first time hearing such secrets, and it threw him off his feet.
“The Lam Clan was just a normal clan back then too. They only became the imperial family because of the first Emperor Lam.” Wong Pak sneered. There wasn’t a hint of respect in his words for the current leaders.
“That’s why I wanted to suppress the Chor Clan now as much as I could... because who knows how great they will become after they recover?
“Sadly... Old Fox Chor had such good foresight to find them a small guardian before he passed on.” Wong Pak sighed.
The next day, the world woke up to three surprising pieces of news.
Firstly, some disciples left Cloud Palace for their journey. Secondly, it was the first time in a thousand years that a pair of Itinerants left the mountain, and the both of them were only in the two-chambered state. In the past, Cloud Palace disciples only travelled alone, and they only left the mountain when they reached the three-chambered state.
Thirdly, the two teachers paid a visit to the Wong Clan.
Nobody knew the details of the visit, but seeing how the Wong Clan suppressed the Chor Clan so badly and given how close the seventh teacher and Young Master Chor Shing Chit were, they roughly guessed that the seventh teacher was there to stand up for the Chor Clan.
The world underestimated the importance the seventh teacher placed on friendship. Chui Yim making the Wong Clan his first destination proved how determined he was to protect the Chor Clan. Nobody dared to offend Cloud Palace, and this was no different from the Chor Clan being related to Cloud Palace now.
