Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 271



Chapter 271

Shaking his head, Kan Hang turned to Kuen Hip calmly. “We’ve known each other for decades, even before Doctor Kuen broke through. Of course, I’d trust Doctor Kuen fully. I never once thought of sourcing another doctor to treat me.”


Kuen Hip wore a touched expression after hearing him.“Brother Kan, why the courtesy? I wouldn’t have become an imperial physician if not for Brother Kan’s recommendation. I’d definitely help you.” 


“Please visit more often, brother Kan.” Kuen Hip stood up and sent Kan Hang off. 


“It shouldn’t be,” Kuen Hip shook his head. “Kan Hang isn’t that smart.”But this thought had him feeling the need to make a report. 




Darkness embraced the skies, indicating that it was nighttime. An old man sat by the table and read a book closely; reading each word carefully, mumbling as he did. All of a sudden, he stopped his actions, shut his book tightly and flung it onto the ground. 


The book he was reading sat amidst a pile of other books pitifully; it was titled “Sealing Gliphs and Mending Chambers”. 


“Since you're here, show yourself instead of acting like a coward.” The elderly’s voice passed through the small residence to the black shadow standing under the moonlight. 


“Greetings, Sir,” The black shadow spoke politely as energliph surrounding him disappeared to reveal the ordinary-looking man beneath it. “Someone recommended that I come to Sir for medical treatment.” 


“Oh?” The door creaked open and an elderly man with aged yet diligent eyes looked out. “Who?” 


“He told me to address Sir as “old fox” and Sir would understand.” The black shadow spoke with a hint of embarrassment. 


“That boy!” The elderly man flared up but there was a slight smile on his face. “Come in, then.” The black shadow smiled bitterly and followed the elderly man into his residence. The black Shadow was Kan Hang, who had just left Kuen Hip’s residence.




Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee woke up early the next day. 


Their excursion was accompanied by Woo Nim and Mr Cheuk but it was still a forbidden area at the end of the day and it was unlikely for the teachers to overprotect them. Both of them who were old-timers with death; especially Kam Chin Kee,  were extremely careful as they would never forgive themselves if they were to die again due to carelessness.


Chui Yim even made a few thousand mechanism arrows for him to use during emergencies as he knew he wasn’t one that fought well. On the other hand, Kam Chin Kee looked at ease. Compared to the well-prepared Chui Yim, Kam Chin Kee was secretly excited about the trip. 


Unlike Chui Yim who had plenty of freedom, Kam Chin Kee spent his childhood only in South Imperial City. He can’t contain his excitement as this would be his first trip out of the city. josei


They arrived at the Cloud Palace outer sect to other teenagers chirping in excitement. As kids, excursions were undoubtedly a fun event to look forward to, and most were chatting away with friends.


Some seemed unfazed as if this was any other day. This included the crown prince Lam Zaa, Mung Si from the North, and Kwan Shan Chuen of the Kwan Clan. Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee glanced around before taking a seat to wait for Woo Nim and Mr Cheuk. 


The bell rang, indicating that it was time for class. The cold Woo Nim entered while dragging a sleepy Cheuk Kwun behind her. She scanned the class to see if everyone was present before speaking. “Since everybody’s here, let’s go.” 


Immediately, Woo Nim dragged the sleepy Mr Cheuk out of the class. Kwan Shan Chuen stood up. “Let’s follow Miss Woo.” 


The class followed Cheuk Kwun and Woo Nim to the small field opposite their classroom where Cheuk Kwun once brought them for a lesson on gliphility. Woo Nim then released her grip on Cheuk Kwun’s collar rudely before turning to him respectfully. “Thank you, Mr Cheuk, for the trouble.” 


Cheuk Kwun lazily made his way into the middle of the field as he complained about the situation. The students surrounded him to watch what he had up his sleeves. 


Mr Cheuk took a deep breath and no longer looked as lethargic as solemness replaced his laziness. His dirty sleeves danced in the air as his expression changed and he activated his energliph. The contrast stunned all the students. 


A hundred-gliphic gliphist! 


Who would’ve thought that the lazy and dirty Cheuk Kwun was a hundred-gliphic gliphist?! 


The aura he gave away wasn’t that of a recently promoted hundred-gliphic gliphist, either. Teacher Cheuk stood in the field calmly as his sleeves danced around him. As if starlight, countless gliph strings appeared and crossed each other messily. Even so, it seemed beautiful. 


As he watched, Chui Yim’s jaws dropped open. 


Why is this gliph so familiar!? Wait, isn’t this the teleportation gliph formation I saw Wong Kwan and her students use back at the Engraved Mountain Range? He’s drawing one right now? 


“South Imperial City is too far from the Forbidden Forest, so we’ll use the teleportation gliph formation, which is more convenient.” Woo Nim explained from the side. 


She explained it casually, but the students were dumbfounded. It cost a fortune to build a teleportation gliph formation. Besides precious ingredients, two hundred-gliphic or above gliphists were required to build it. That was why not everyone got to see the teleportation gilph formation as it was extremely costly to repair if damaged. 


A temporary gliph formation didn’t need ingredients, but it was way more tedious to build, needing several hundred-gliphic gliphists to construct! 


Cheuk Kwan was drawing it by himself like it was a piece of cake. How skilled was he?!
