Chapter 474


    Thus, Chui Yim became a grandmaster’s master overnight.


    Of course, he was aware that Choh Hang Sang only looked up to his weapon refining method as the other was no weaker than him in terms of forging. The other had spent almost a century on forging; Chui Yim’s total age even including his previous life was lower!


    But that was exactly the reason Chui Yim could not bear and could not reject Choh Hang Sang. He knew the desire well.


    They started the lesson that night, with Chui Yim exining weapon refining in simple terms first. The most important part was the technique.


    The technique referred to Chui Yim’s fusion of superb forging techniques into alchemy. Even though forging was the main skill and alchemy was only the support, there were many skills involved that required use of many alchemy techniques.


    What Choh Hang Sangcked was alchemy skill.


    Since Chui Yim would be leaving for Cloud Pce soon, he summarised a few years'' worth of content as well as tricks to control me for Choh Hang Sang in easynguage. That was all that he’d need to pick up.


    Grass-refining didn’t make use of mes to forge as it was more about bringing out the potential of ingredients and gliphic nts used for the weapon.


    Choh Hang Sang was not even slightly impatient.


    Being an elite in grass-refining who had reached a certain state, he was willing to be a disciple of a teenage boy just to bring his faction to further heights that he knew didn’t exist currently. It had been centuries since the birth of this faction, and the limit of grass-refining was only grandmaster; there had never been a divine grass-refining cksmith.


    This was what gave Choh Hang Sang the patience and determination to start from scratch. A hundred-year-old man might be slower in picking up new things, but as long as he had the determination, he would be fine.<hr>


    There were two more days until Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee left for Cloud Pce.


    They had been busy receiving guests who came to congratte them, but only those who came with sincere blessings; those with the intention of bootlicking them because of their new status were not weed.


    Sadly, it was time for Yeung Chun to take his leave.


    “Haha, Brother Chui and Brother Kam, the enrollment has ended, so I should return to Four Seasons Mountain with Siu Hun.” In all smiles, Yeung Chun bid them goodbye. Per usual, he was like a friendly old man instead of a peak leader of Four Seasons Mountain.


    “Take care, Brother Yeung!” Chui Yim went up with a bear hug. Seeing how close his uncle was to a teen was an awkward scene for Yeung Tin Hun, so he took his leave first.


    “Great Uncle, I’ll wait for you outside.”


    “Alright, I will join you soon!” Yeung Chunughed. With that, Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho went out.


    “Visit Four Seasons Mountain if you have the chance in the future to experience the beauty of the North. I will do the honours and treat you to our delicacies!”


    “That’s a must!” Chui Yimughed heartily.


    With that, Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim sent Yeung Chun, Yeung Tin Hun, and Man Yee Ho out, and they returned by the teleportation gliph formation.


    “Sometimes I wonder if it’s just your luck or what…” Kam Chin Kee sighed sentimentally. “Getting a Four Seasons Peak Leader as your housekeeper just because you dined in a random shop?”


    “Just by chance.” Chui Yim shook his head and returned to the residence.


    Kam Chin Kee watched Chui Yim enter the house. <em>Could it just be his friendly and straightforward character that makes himfortable to be with? That was the same reason that I wanted to befriend him back then as well.</em>


    Kam Chin Kee shook his head andughed, not wanting to dwell more on it. The both of them went back to tidying the residence as they would be leaving two dayster.


    But here came an unexpected guest.<hr>


    “Your Grace, would it be inappropriate to put ourselves down like this by paying a special visit?”


    Two men stood in front of Chui Yim’s residence. One in the back and the other in the front.


    It was a familiar practice of every Lam n member, or rather, tradition.


    Every Lam n heir would have a teen of simr age arranged to them to be their shadow, and even if the heir was exiled to an isted city of the South and the shadow had great talent that would allow him to join somewhere much better, the shadow would never abandon the heir, and this was what the shadows were for.


    “Hehe.” The duke waved his hands. “The both of them are the Cloud Pce disciples of the current generation, it would make sense for even his Majesty to pay them a visit. Why would a normal person like me fear lowering myself?”


    <em>Knock knock.</em> He knocked on the door.<hr>


    Currently in Evergreen Pce sat a frowning Lam Chun.


    Every time he frowned, it was as if there would be a thunderstorm the next minute. Next to him stood his new shadow, Kei Mo.


    “Your Majesty, the situation isn’t as bad as you think it is,” Kei Mo analysed. “It’s unexpected, but it makes sense that Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim would be Cloud Pce disciples.


    “Amongst the six participants, only Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee had no powerful background, thus the effects on politics are minor with them being selected. And in the past, most selected disciples of Cloud Pce came with no or minimal support; Second Teacher is the only one from a big organisation, zing Skies Mountain, this generation.”


    “I know.” Lam Chun waved his hands, followed by a long pause. “How’s Lam Zaa?”


    “His Highness is still unwilling to leave Almighty Hall.” After a short pause, Kei Mo said softly.


    “Let him be. He has never experienced such a blow, and it might be a great chance.” Lam Chun caressed his dragon throne made of gold calmly, eyes like an ocean abyss, his actual thoughts unable to be deduced.


    <em>Sixth Teacher? That orphan that I randomly took in has reached such a stage…</em>


    “What’s that man doing right now?” After a long time, he asked casually.


    Of course Kei Mo knew who he meant. He lowered his head and started reporting slowly, “Woke up at seven, went to the nearby Phoenix Ceremony Inn to have breakfast. He ordered a bowl of pork porridge and fried dough.


    “Then he returned to the royal pce to cultivate the Exquisite Jade Spearmanship and the Lam n’s Boundless Palm.


    “He ate lunch at one o’clock and ordered…


    Kei Mo reported as if he was telling a story. This was South Imperial City, and if the current emperor decided to keep an eye on you, it wouldst for twenty four hours and no detail would be missed because this city was filled with his eyes.


    “Four o’clock…” Kei Mo hesitated before speaking, “He went to the Wandering Son’s Lake residence to visit Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee.”


    Lam Chun creased his forehead, thoughts going back to decades ago.


    He chose to exile him instead of taking his life, and this was his choice.


    <em>What is he nning by returning to the city during such an important event, the Cloud Pce enrollment?</em>


    “Pass down to Chancellor Chui that I have something to discuss with him.”


    “Your humble servant is willing to listen.”
