Night of the Broken Gliph-Chapter 192

Rent?

Chui Yim creased his brows but didnt outright reject the suggestion. Just like Kam Chin Kee mentioned, the residence was too large for just him. There were a few more empty bedrooms in the residence, and Chui Yim took the largest room as his bedroom.

Why do you want to move out alone? How old are you? Do your parents know about this? Chui Yim went on and on, stunning Kam Chin Kee.

Uh, my parents died long ago.

Umm Chui Yim was prepared to give Kam Chin Kee a lecture about his rebellious character before he was left rendered speechless. He smiled awkwardly. Im sorry.

Is brother Chui perhaps not from South Imperial City? Youd definitely recognise me otherwise, Kam Chin Kee asked curiously.

Who are you? Why must I know you? Chui Yim huffed. I just let him off and hes acting arrogantly again! If your parents have passed on, where do you stay now?

Brother Chui might not believe me even if I said it. Kam Chin Kee burst into laughter.

Cmon, tell me.

In the Evergreen Palace, Lam Ming Sum sat in the living room of Ming Sum Hall, swinging her legs up and down while speaking to Kan Hang. Uncle Kan, why is brother Chin Kee not back yet? Didnt he promise to celebrate his first day at Cloud Palace with my cooking?

Uncle Kan has no idea either. Kan Hang laughed bitterly.

This made Lam Ming Sum jump down from her chair. Im going to find brother Chin Kee.

Kan Hang could only hurriedly follow her with a bitter smile, but they ran into several familiar faces as soon as they left the hall.

Ming Sum, where are you going in such a hurry? The person smiled at the sight of Lam Ming Sum.

Im going to find brother Chin Kee Lam Ming Sum muttered while looking down at her feet.

Her words made the gorgeous doll-like girl at the side flare up. This annoying girl, why are you looking for brother Kam again

Mei Mei! Step down.

Anger flared across the girls face as she left with a huff, a scent trailing after her. The servant maid who served her bowed hurriedly before leaving with her.

The two were none other than Lam Mei Mei and Lam Zaa. After the former left, Lam Zaa turned to Lam Ming Sum with a smile. If Im not wrong, Chin Kee stayed after class to collect the outer sects school uniform. But I have no idea why hes still not back even though the sun has set. Whats wrong?

Brother Chin Kee is so bad, Lam Ming sum pouted as she mumbled. He promised to have dinner with me I cooked so much food

Then, why dont I have dinner with you instead? Lam Zaa replied subconsciously.

Your Highness Yam Chui Ying was similarly shocked.

Regaining his senses, Lam Zaa waved his hands as a sign for Yam Chui Ying to say no more. What do you think, Ming Sum?

Erm umm Lam Ming Sum hesitated while Kan Hang heaved a sigh of relief. Lam Ming Sum didnt forge any relationship with Emperor Lam, Empress Lee Fei Yin, Crown Price Lam Zaa nor Princess Lam Mei Mei in the past year. She only made friends with Kam Chin Kee, who was similarly a loner in the palace. Now was a chance for her.

Kan Hang came to Lam Ming Sums side and whispered, Ming Sum, throwing the food away will be a waste.

Erm Okay then. Lam Ming Sum only nodded after hearing this.

Yam Chui Ying wanted to say more, but he kept silent under Lam Zaas fierce glare. He followed Lam Ming Sum and Lam Zaa into Ming Sum hall.

The Pure Sun Hall.

Lam Chun, Lee Fei Yin and Lam Mei Mei sat at the table silently. The table was filled with extravagant delicacies made of rare ingredients. Only a handful of people in the South could get their hands on such ingredients. The North was the paradise of g-food, after all. Many precious gliphic beast meat could only be obtained from the North.

These were all exchanged from the North at a huge price; you wouldnt be able to find them elsewhere.

Why is Zaa not here yet? Lee Fei Yin asked softly on seeing Lam Chun frown. She knew Lam Chuns character well; he was a disciplined man who cared about details.

A middle-aged man standing next to them knew that Lee Fei Yin was directing the question to him. His Highness the prince is currently having dinner with Princess Ming Sum at the Ming Sum hall. He might have forgotten, he replied slowly after hesitating.

Lee Fei Yin frowned. As the prettiest woman in the South, she had a pair of gorgeous eyebrows that resembled a flying sparrow; they joined together into a ferocious bird when she creased her eyebrows like she was ready to kill.

Thats nice of Zaa. Lam Chun laughed.

Oh, why is that? Lee Fei Yin asked after hearing Lam Chun, who only shook his head in reply.

Its been a year since Ming Sum has come to a palace, and she never dared to eat with us, and weve never forced her to do so. Its good for Zaa to be closer to Ming Sum; theyre siblings after all. Saying this, Lam Chun turned to Lam Mei Mei unhappily. Mei Mei, you shouldnt go overboard. Shes your elder sister, whether you like it or not. This is a fact you cant change.

With a huff, Lam Mei Mei stood up while whining. Im full. Your daughter shall take her leave first!

Lee Fei Yin watched Lam Mei Mei leave, feeling sorry for her. She didnt eat much. Bring some food to her room later.

Yes, Your Highness.

Be it Ming Sum or Zaa, Im not worried for either of them. Lam Zaa sighed lightly. But Mei Mei is too spoiled. She will learn things the hard way one day.

What situation can a baby bird encounter under an eagles protection? Lee Fei Yin replied in a low voice. Whether shes too stubborn or pampered, I just wish for Mei Mei to spend a carefree and worry-free life.

Lam Chun shook his head and remained silent. Lee Fei Yin was overprotective of Lam Mei Mei, and as time passed, Lam Mei Mei became increasingly overboard as more and more people in the palace fell victim to her.

Nevermind, lets eat.

Somewhere far in the North stood a gorgeous palace that spanned several miles.

This was the Imperial Sunset Palace. Unlike a fairyland that many expected it to be, it was bustling with activity. Shouts from training gliphers could be heard, but most of the hustle was from the practising gliphists.

Because of Man Chin Hung, the female thousand-gliphic gliphist, the Imperial Sunset Palace was the dream of all female cultivators. There were even female cultivators from the South who left secretly to become Imperial Sunset Palace disciples.
