Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 22

At Chan Clan Grass Hall, three men could be seen standing outside the shop quietly.

Eh? Wheres the shopkeeper?

Go inside the shop and take a look. 

Leader, the shopkeeper has fainted! 

Dizzily, the shopkeeper woke up to someone shaking him. He looked up to see three familiar men around him.

Shopkeeper, what happened? The leader of the trio asked. All three men were from the Chan Clan. 

The shopkeeper stood up immediately and turned around to realise that the box containing the Water Reflected Moon was now empty. He turned pale as a sheet of paper and stammered, Water Reflected Moonis is gone! 

Hearing him, the leaders face fell and turned to both men next to him. Inform the Clan leader.

It was a peaceful week for Chui Yim.

Under Chor Shing Chit and Bak Wuns coverup, the information of Chui Yim having innate double chambers was kept a secret. Not only that, he made a trip to Kiu Chi Gongs shop daily after school to chat. Hed casually leak some forging tips during their conversation and leave when Kiu Chi Gong started contemplating his words. 

Chui Yim believed that one day, Kiu Chi Gong would realise that he was doing this because he sincerely wanted to help him. 

Soon, the weekend arrived. Chui Yim planned to leave for home earlier during his self-study period, but Chor Shing Chit unfortunately stopped him.  

Why are you following me home? Chui Yim asked Chor Shing Chit confusedly as he followed him to Sourtharys city gate. 

Home visit, Chor Shing Chit replied coldly.

Home visit? How can you consider this a home visit when my home is the only one you are visiting in the entire class? Chui Yims face twisted slightly, unhappy. 

Home visit? How can you consider this a home visit when my home is the only one you are visiting in the entire class?

However,Chui Yim felt that it wasnt that bad afterall as he followed Chor Shing Chit towards a Hardyhorse coachman.

Chui Yim caught sight of the familiar coachman and dragged Chor Shing Chit towards him. Mr Chor, lets take that one. 

Oh! Its you again, little boy. Haha! Eh? Who is this?

My teacher. Hes going to my house for a home visit, Chui Yim said with a smile. 

Chui Tin was cooking once again. He was happy as a lark; he looked forward to the weekends the most as it was the time that Chui Yim returned home. 

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside his house once more. Chui Tin rushed out to be greeted by a hardyhorse galloping towards his house. In no time, he saw Chui Yim getting off the wagon. He bid the coachman goodbye and walked into the house proudly, like a rooster who won a fight. 

Chui Tin was caught off guard. How did that kiddo get the money to take a hardyhorse! 

The next minute, another figure followed. It was Chor Shing Chit. 

Mr Chor, have you eaten?

Yes, thank you. 

On the other hand, Chui Yim was busy wolfing down his meal. He didnt even spare the both of them a glance. 

Chor Shing Chit glanced at Chui Yim, who looked like he had been starving for years and turned to Chui Tin. Mr Chui, are you free to talk now? Theres something I need to tell you.

Of course, let's head to the yard, Chui Tin replied, flashing Chor Shing Chit a warm smile. 

The duo walked to the yard. Seeing the many different well-grown plants, Chor Shing Chit sighed. You have a great place. 

Thank you, but its still lacking a lot, Chui Tin said politely and went straight to the point. So, may I know what brings Mr Chor here? Did my son get into some trouble? 

Im here to discuss about Chui Yim, Chor Shing Chit said seriously and summarised the situation during the chamber check to Chui Tin. 

Its extremely rare to be like Chui Yim, and its a waste to keep him in our academy. As long as you let the world know his talent, he could enrol in almost any institution or organisation, be it the South or North. Be it the Imperial Sunset Palace, Four Season Heaven, Blazing Skies Mountain or even the Cloud Palace. 

Hearing him, Chui Tin smiled thinly before turning towards Chor Shing Chit in seriousness shortly. I wont let Siu Yim transfer out of this school. 

Night fell. Chui Tin sent Chor Shing Chit to the door.

Please reconsider your decision. I dont wish to ruin the childs future, Chor Shing Chit looked at Chu Tin and spoke slowly. 

I have already made myself very clear, Chui Tin smiled and replied casually. Goodbye. 

Please reconsider, Mr Chui. Goodbye, Chor Shing Chit said, obviously disappointed. 

Watching Chor Shing Chit leave, the smile on Chut Tins face grew. I guess he did quite well in school, huh? 

You dont have an innate double chamber, Chui Tin told Chui Yim while having a cup of tea and reading his book. Do you know how a chamber check rock works? 

Chui Yim recalled the content that he read from the huge piles of books and replied, A chamber check rock is something that reflects a humans energy. A high-quality chamber check rock is necessary for glipheons, as they can identify invisible injuries and analyse them. 

Chui Tin nodded in satisfaction. He put down the scroll and turned to Chui Yim. From what I guess, the chamber check rock didnt identify an innate heart chamber, but your heart deficiency instead. 

Your heart deficiency is incurable because its not an ordinary deficiency. Theres a ball of fire in your heart. There was a rare weather event when you were born, and a strike of Heavens Flame entered your heart. In fact, I didnt expect you to survive, and its weird that instead of burning up your body, it stayed in your heart silently. I thought Heavens Flame would break out soon, but it stayed in you calmly for six years. 

Chui Yims jaws dropped as he caressed his chest subconsciously. So there was always a fire in my heart?Discover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n no𝒗elbi𝒏(.)com

The chamber check rock saw the ball of Heavens Flame. It caught on fire after you had your chamber check, right? The Heavens Flame is so powerful that its not something that a chamber check rock could look at. Didnt you find the burnt rock familiar?

Look at that black, fake mountain in our yard. Chui Tin pointed to the yard with the hand holding the tea cup. It was burnt after I did your chamber check previously. 

Chui Yim looked at the fake mountain speechlessly. No wonder the chamber check rock back in school seemed so familiar! I just didnt notice it. 

Even so, your innate wind chamber shows that you have a chance of becoming a gliphist. You can throw the idea of being a glipher away, as gliphers needs to fight. Even if you train and push your limits every day, nobody can ensure the fight will end before you reach your limit. But as a gliphist, all you need to do is stand behind gliphers and tattoo gliphs. 

That day, I asked Mr Chor if there are people in this world who are both a glipher and gliphist, Chui Yim frowned and asked. 

Chui Tin was slightly taken aback and looked at Chui Yim weirdly. Of course there are. But youre not supposed to think about that right now.

All you need to do now is memorise the book on medicine. Youre being too slow. Bring the books to school with you next week. 

Monday soon came again, and Chui Yim went back to the academy with several medical books.
