Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 202

“Don’t you understand what shut up means? Why are you still making so much noise?” Chui Yim replied while stuffing a black pill into Mung Si’s mouth. 

“Uh… uh… What the heck did you put in my mouth?” Thinking that she had landed in evil hands, Mung Si trembled. “I’m from the Blazing Skies Mountain’s Mung Clan, if you dare…” 

“I said, shut the hell up!” Chui Yim cut her off angrily. 

They didn’t have time to care about anything else as they dashed into Chui Yim’s residence with Chor Fung following close behind. As soon as they entered the residence, Chui Yim calmed down quickly. This was his territory, and he’d turn the tables on the mad kid! 

Without hesitation, he passed the living room and turned left in the courtyard, making his way towards the workshop as he raised his right hand to touch several artificial plants. 

Chor Fung didn’t think much about it. To him, Chui Yim did not have any strength to resist; he assumed that the Flame’s Knife gliph was Mung Si’s last-ditch attack. Thus he dashed into the courtyard right after them, only for an unassuming flower he passed by to emit poisonous gas from its bud with a sizzle! 

“Sly bastard!”  

At the same time, Chui Yim came out of the workshop with a cylinder in his hands. “Time for you to take a nap.”  

Pff!  

Szzz… 

The sound of needles shooting out continuously sent chills down Chor Fung’s body. The needles struck him as he collapsed while looking like a porcupine. His status was unknown. 

Chui Yim was similarly on the ground, trying his best to catch his breath as smoke emitted from his body. The run wasn’t beyond his limit, but it was an emergency with him carrying somebody; it triggered his natural heart deficiency, leaving him in great pain.    

If the distance between his residence and the incident was any further, he wouldn’t have been able to persevere. 

Mung Si stood rooted at the side. She might be a determined girl who had been to the dangerous Chamber Refining Cave, but she had never encountered an actual life-threatening situation. This whole situation had left her at a loss. 

She turned back to Chui Yim cautiously while trying to remain calm. “What do you want from me?” 

“Nothing,” Chui Yim berated as he panted. “Do you really think that you’re that special? I don’t have any interest in you!” 

“You!” Mung Si flared up. Her heavenly looks had gained her numerous suitors back in the North, and she had never received such treatment. Out of anger, she drew a gliph that looked like a fire snake and launched it towards Chui Yim. josei

“You mad woman!” Chui Yim yelled as he dodged to the side, the fire snake landing on the wall of his workshop and creating a huge hole. “I should’ve left you there to be raped!” Chui Yim huffed, boiling in anger. “I gave you an antidote, yet you are trying to kill me!”

The intelligent Mung Su finally understood the situation from Chui Yim’s words. However, she was still furious and unashamed of treating Chui Yim in the manner she did. “You deserve death for touching my body. But since I let you off, take it as I’ve returned you a life, and we have nothing to do with each other from today onwards!” 

“Nothing to do with each other!?” Chui Yim looked around his new residence in horror. Spies broke in the day before, and today, he brought a villain in who damaged his walls! 

“Remember today’s incident, girlie. I’ll make you pay someday!” 

“Only speak to me when you can defeat me, trash that relies on external help!” Mung Si stated coldly. With a wave of her sleeves, she left. “Great, huh, Chor Clan!” She felt the urge to kill Chor Fung when she passed by him lying on the ground. 

Chiu Yim was left sitting on the ground blankly while staring at his now messy workshop. “Who did I offend?” He choked while sobbing. 

Chor Shing Chit came to pick Chor Fung up, who found out about the entire situation from Chor Kwong Laan.

In the workshop, Chui Yim was seen lashing out at a man while mending his walls. “Chor Boy, I say, teach your kids properly! Look at the unwanted mess they got me into!”  

Chor Shing Chit, who was standing behind him, kept quiet. He only spoke up after some time. “Thanks.”  

Chui Yim’s body froze temporarily, but he pretended not to hear him and continued, “That Mung girl, I’ll teach her a lesson someday! What on earth…This makes my blood boil…” 

“The reason why you provoked Chor Fung is because if you hadn’t, Chor Kwong Laan would’ve died, right?” Chor Shing Chit continued even though Chui Yim seemed to turn deaf. 

“How dare that girlie look down on me…” 

“Thank you, brother Chui.” Chor Shing Chit walked towards Chui Yim and bowed. Chor Shing Chit had learnt more about the incident from the other Chor Clan disciples. He knew that it was his disciples who provoked Chui Yim and even threatened to cripple him. Despite knowing that telling Chor Shing Chit and Chor Chun Ping would end the incident, Chui Yim didn’t do so due to their friendship. 

Chui Yim would beat up the other party if it was anybody else. He wouldn’t even risk his life to save Chor Kwong Laan. He didn’t do this to please the mighty Chor Clan, but simply because Chor Shing Chit was his friend.  

Chui Yin stopped complaining about the situation and turned around with a huff. “Mend my wall if you’re feeling apologetic. Anyways, get Chor Kwong Laan to come by tomorrow. Chor Fung attacked him with the intent to kill, and he stabbed him near his wind chamber. If the attack struck his wind chamber, he’ll never be able to break through.”  

“Okay.” Chor Shing Chit agreed swiftly. They were close enough that words couldn’t express their relationship.

However, this wasn’t the end of everything.  

Like what Mung Si mentioned, the cheerful and gorgeous girl had countless suitors, many of whom were Northern teenagers who had expressed their admiration for her. Therefore, it wasn’t a surprise to know that there was an uproar when they heard that the disciples of a Southern Clan had attacked Mung Si. 

There was a crowd outside the Chor Clan. They were all Northerners situated in South Imperial City to care for the Northern talents. Amongst them, an elderly woman stood in front of Mung Si. She was tall, her face covered with wrinkles, but her aura was still terrifying.  

A four-chambered glipher! Northern cultivators might not be knowledgeable like Southern cultivators were. Still, due to their environment, they were generally more powerful than ordinary Southern cultivators as their cultivation was a path of blood. 

This lady was a widely known figure in the world. She was Yim Ying Yuet, an elder of the Blazing Skies Mountain.
