Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

In the Mayors Mansion of Southary, three men appeared in the mansions garden quietly. 

The man in the middle waved his hands and turned to the man on his right. Prepare the imperial chariot. We are heading back to the city.

The man on his right glanced at him, but continued to remain silent. Yes, master. 

With that, the middle man walked into the side courtyard. As soon as he stepped through the entrance, his black hair turned blue, the colour of the sea. If one stared at his hair for too long, they would be unable to look away.

The man on his left had been following him quietly and closely from the start. 

As the middle mans hair turned blue, the aura on his body gradually grew. The energy emitted from him wasnt one of simple energliph, but the aura of a truly powerful person. It was like he was born with it, the manner of a king. 

Kan Hang. 

He waved his sleeve and sat in the middle seat of the side courtyard. The aura on him had totally changed, and his sadness could no longer be seen. As soon as he called out his name, the man in black that had been following him kneeled down on a single knee immediately. Yes. 

Take care of Sit Ting for me; shes a woman, after all.

Pardon me for not being able to follow your orders, but Kan Hang is your majestys shadow. I will never leave your side. The man in black, Kan Hang, refused the blue-haired mans order. 

Are you disobeying my orders? The blue-haired man squinted his eyes; his aura rose dangerously. But it disappeared immediately when it reached Kan Hang. 

Kan Hang was a powerful four-chambered glipher, the strongest imperial bodyguard. He remained silent and kneeled, expressing his answer through his actions. 

Sigh Kan Hang, do you still not understand? Youre the only person I can trust, and Sit Ting is the love of my life If anything happens to her, Ill forever live in guilt.

However, Kan Hang still kept his head low. Kan Hang has to be responsible for your majestys safety for the trip back to South Imperial City, he replied with his unique and slow voice.

I have already arranged for Old Ngai to rush here; he should arrive before dawn. The blue-haired man waved his hand. 

Hearing the name Old Ngai, Kan Hangs eyes changed slightly. 

Thats it. If anything happens to Sit Ting The blue-haired man spoke softly. But to Kan Hang who had served him for twenty years, he knew that it was a sign of anger. Then you manage it yourself. 

Kan Hang understands, Kan Hang replied softly. Your majesty, take care when Kan Hang isnt around.

Even without you or Old Ngai, Im not someone that can easily be taken advantage of, the blue-haired man said, the frown disappearing from his face. You grew up with me, and youre my best assistant. I can trust only you; youre the only person I can send on this mission. I hope you understand my intentions and know that Im not trying to make things hard for you on purpose.

Kan Han lowered his head. Kan Hang will take his leave now. 

Immediately, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only the blue-haired man staring into space. The memories they shared flashed across his mind. 

The west of Sourthary, a house in Borneons woods. Sit Ting remained silent until she confirmed that the men outside had left.  She wiped her tears and heaved a sigh of relief. If he knew about Lam Ming Sit Ting blew off the candle as the darkness of night covered the determination in her beautiful eyes. I can never let him know about Siu Ming! 

There was a small hill a thousand meters away from the house. A shadow suddenly appeared on the hilltop, his figure emerging from the shadows out of the blue. 

He glanced at the house a thousand meters away and muttered to himself, I guess Ill have to stay here for quite some time He then laid on the ground and fell asleep on the spot. Be it the wind or wolfs howl, there seemed to be nothing that could disturb him. 

Southary, Riding Clouds Academy. 

It was the start of a new week. Chui Yim walked side by side with Lam Ming while staring at him weirdly. Why do you look like youve just won the lottery? 

Hehehe, Lam Ming responded with an annoying laugh. Its because brother Chui and my mummy have a harmonious relationship. He turned to Chui Yim, flashing a bright smile that revealed his shiny white teeth. 

I have no memories of my father, and mummy always answers evasively when I ask about him. I eventually gave up, as I am fine with just the two of us. Shes my most important relative.

And brother Chui is the second most important person to me! Lam Ming said, sticking out two fingers to make a victory sign with his hand. So its important that both of you get along well! 

Youre weird, Chui Yim mumbled. Hurry up, or Mr Chor will scold us.

Okay!
