Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 179

Chapter 179

After a long silence, Lam Chun asked, Hows Ming Sum doing? 

Shes obsessed with the culinary arts, just like her mother, Kan Hang replied with a slight nod, smiling when something came to mind. Her Highness also frequently mentioned that shed like to cook for Your Majesty when Your Majesty is free to visit the Ming Sum Hall. 

Such a thoughtful girl. 

The coach slowed as both of them felt a cold sensation graze their skin. It was as if someone was staring at them, and their stares solidified. This didnt worry Kan Hang since he knew it was a sign of entering the Evergreen Palace. It was a check done by a gliphic formation which detected trespassers entering the palace. 

Your Majesty, Kan Hang would take his leave first. 

Mmm. Go ahead. 

Kan Hang alighted and walked away slowly while Lam Chun drew the curtains of the coach, watching him. Seeing the white cloth wrapped around his arms, Lam Chun sighed to himself. 

 The intelligent Celestial Unicorn sneezed and pulled the coach away once more. 

As a cultivator who graduated from the Shadowforge Hall, Kan Hang possessed the right to use Nightwalk and teleport around the Evergreen Palace. However, he didnt do so as something was bothering him greatly even when he was on the coach with the emperor. 

It was because of the boy he saw back at the Chor Clan! 

He immediately identified that he was Chui Yim, Princess Ming Sums best friend, whom she greatly cared about! Kan Hang never thought that hed see Chui Yim ever again. The difference between their statuses was like heaven and earth, after all.

But hes now in South Imperial City, and he became Senior Chor Huet Zhins direct disciple? What would Her Highness do if she knew about this 

Kan Hang dared not think about it. Despite walking slowly, he eventually reached the Ming Sum Hall where he came to his senses. 

 Due to Lam Ming Sums firm request, there werent any eunuchs or maids in her hall. Servants and maids would only come to clean the hall daily and leave afterwards as the hall was too huge for Lam Ming Sum to tidy up herself. If she did it alone, it would be night by the time she finished cleaning. 

Kan Hang smiled bitterly as he made up his mind to investigate more on Chui Yim before letting Lam Ming Sum know about it. He had decided to keep things a secret for now. After making up his mind, Kan Hang walked into the Ming Sum Hall.

Ming Sum, Im back. 

Ming Sum? However, he didnt hear a reply. 

He went to the kitchen, but she was nowhere to be seen. Getting worried, Kan Hang raised his voice. Ming Sum? 

Very sure that Lam Ming Sum would never leave the Ming Sum Hall for no reason during this period, Kan Hang activated Nightwalk and instantly vanished. He reappeared at the Ming Sum Halls courtyard the next second, right next to her room.  

Crack! 

The sound of something shattering rang out from the room. 

Kan Hang instantly dashed into the room to see Lam Ming Sum lying on the ground, looking pained as she broke out in a cold sweat. Surging energliph filled the room! 

A breakthrough! 

Kan Hang had been expecting Lam Ming Sum to break through, but when it actually happened, Kan Hang was still unable to remain calm. He slapped the jade badge on his waist and took out a bottle of pills he had prepared beforehand. It contained grade three Calming Elixirs, which could help one remain conscious during their breakthrough. After stuffing the elixir into Lam Ming Sums mouth, he picked Lam Ming Sum up and vanished with Nightwalk once more. 

In the Evergreen Palace stood a tall building that towered over all the other buildings in the Evergreen Palace, even the Hall of Affairs and Pure Sun Hall, where the emperor resided. It was the tallest point in the Evergreen Palace as the building was the centre of the Evergreen Palaces gliph formation. 

One could control all the formations in the Evergreen Palace from this building to defend the palace or attack and trap their enemies. 

In the palace lived a single man, an old man whose age and name were unknown. However, the entire world knew that he resided in the palace and called himself Ngai. The world knew him as Old Ngai.  

He was a thousand-gliphic gliphist, one of the most powerful gliphists in the world. Together with the Evergreen Palaces formation, Old Ngai was invincible. Even if Man Chin Hung from the Imperial Sunset Palace or Yeung Ha from the Four Seasons Mountain fought him together, theyd surely lose. 

With his strength, he could easily leave the Evergreen Palace, but why he chose to stay was unknown. 

Whoosh! 

The sound of something passing through the wind made Old Ngai, who was resting on a bench peacefully, frown. Little boy Kang, your cultivation has depreciated. How can you make so much noise when using Nightwalk, which is supposed to help you travel silently 

Im sorry, Old Ngai. Its an emergency. 

Kan Hang appeared in front of Old Ngai with Lam Ming Sum in his arms. Her Highness is breaking through. 

Oh? Old Ngai finally opened his tired eyes. It might be because of his age, but there seemed to be a spiral in his eyes that absorbed all the light around him. The moment he opened his eyes, the surroundings seemed to dim. This energy wave Looks like Her Highness cultivates an extraordinary cultivation style. 

Old Ngai, will she be alright? Kan Hang was extremely worried, but he dared not urge him. 

Calm down. Were in the Evergreen palace, Old Ngai replied so peacefully that it made Kan Hang calm down.  

Right, were in the Evergreen Palace. As long as Old Ngais here, nothing can go wrong.  

I felt it when Princess Ming Sum was about to break through, but you moved just before I did. The cultivation style that Princess Ming Sum cultivated is no ordinary technique, and this is the result of the overflowing energliph which she stored. She might not be very talented, but shes not bad. 

However, well have to think hard about the gliph to be tattooed on her Old Ngai said as he walked towards Lam Ming Sum, who Kan Hang had placed on another bench. 

Despite saying this, he was already making his move. To be exact, he made a move mentally as there was energliph movement. Countless gliph strings formed in front of him. 

Such an interesting girl, Old Ngai smiled gently. He had a good impression of Lam Ming Sum, the cheerful girl that wore a smile everyday. Which elder disliked cheerful children?  

Lam Ming Sum might not know who Old Ngai was, but Old Ngai could clearly sense the entire Evergreen Palace. 

Let me bestow you an opportunity, then.
