Chapter 48

A weapon shop located in Southarys Weapon Street.

Unlike the arrogant and fierce vibes of its name, the shop could only shudder at the powerful Chan Clans shop opposite of it. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Currently, the shop was brightly lit.

Master, are we done? Kiu Chi Gong called out. His face was pale as a sheet of paper as he held onto something tightly.

No, not yet. Chui Yim sat on a chair, swinging his legs while popping fruits into his mouth.

Master, do you want to switch places? Looking at how relaxed Chui Yim was, Kiu Chi Gong couldnt help but ask.

Switch places? Chui Yim shouted as he threw the fruits core at him. How could you have the face to let your master work so hard? Cant you see how red I turned after carving the gliph?

I turned burning red! Just like the cooked shrimps you eat! Why do you have so much to say, its just inserting energliph! Arent you embarrassed to tell a ten-year-old kid who hasnt broken through any chamber to take over your job?

Kiu Chi Gong gulped. Its because master is so knowledgeable that I forget your age, he replied slowly.

Youre not that bad at flattery, I see. Chui Yim rolled his eyes and stared at the item that Kiu Chi Gong was holding. His eyes lit up at the sight of it. This will be the first item Ive forged after arriving in this world! As for the grade two-weapon that Chan Lai Faat praised? Even if the Chan Clan had not found trouble with him, he wouldve made it as practice anyways.

Done! Chui Yim suddenly shouted. Released from his workload, Kiu Chi Gong collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

Ignoring the puddle named Kiu Chi Gong that was on the floor, he walked up and snatched the unknown item away, placing it in a box skillfully. It wasnt a big box, lengthed only about half an adults forearm. He looked at the sky and turned to Kiu Chi Gong. Its getting late, so Ill head back first. Think about my words carefully. Metalsmiths need not just skills, but the proper mindset too. With that, Chui Yim left the shop, leaving only Kiu Chi Gong to ponder his words.

This was what he learnt from his master White Spark in the past when he had been Flame.

As the saying went, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Chui Yim could only pass on the knowledge, and Kiu Chi Gong had to understand it himself. Since he and Chui Yim cultivated different cultivation styles, Chui Yim chose only to guide and not tell him exactly what to do.



After leaving Weapon Street, Chui Yim returned to the Riding Clouds Academy dormitory. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lam Ming curled up in the corner.

His hair was all over the place, and he was shaking subconsciously. Hearing the door being opened, Lam Ming looked up. He burst into tears at the sight of Chui Yim.

What happened? Chui Yim asked with his face falling. Lam Ming cried as he told Chui Yim everything that happened.

Hearing him, Chui Yim wore a grave expression. He knew that his father was no ordinary person. Aunt Sit befriended my father and even passed on her cooking skills to him; she cant be ordinary either. The last thing I expected was for her to be killed so quickly!

He stared into the air as he thought seriously. Chui Yim wasnt stupid. He mightve been obsessed with forging in his past life, which made him weak in socialising. But if he was stupid, he would never have become the best forger. If they came for Aunt Sit, it means Lam Ming is in danger too, seeing how anxiously Aunt Sit wanted Lam Ming to leave. In no time, Chui Yim absorbed all the information and pulled Lam Ming out of the room in a hurry.

Whoosh!



He slammed the table, shattering it. The memories from his past life started flooding back to him.

In his previous life, because he did not have the ability to retaliate, there was nothing he could do but to leave his fate at the hands of others even as the best metalsmith in the continent. If he had the ability, he would have been able to protect Lam Ming this time round and not have to watch his first friend in this world leave him while he watched helplessly.

At this moment, Chui Yim had a burning desire for strength.



She woke up abruptly to pitch-black surroundings. All she saw was a bonfire burning in front of her and the crackling of burning firewood burning. Next to the bonfire was a man wrapped in shadows.

Unlike the shadows, he had snow white skin and ordinary looks. The kind that one wouldnt easily remember.

Lam Ming struggled to sit up. She looked around her and asked timidly, Where are we?

Kan Hang looked up to the starry sky on hearing her. Roughly to the east of Night Lion City Or should I say, we are on the way to South Imperial City.

Lam Ming looked at him in a daze. She grew up in Southary from a young age. To her, leaving her home for the Riding Clouds Academy was already making a trip to another world. She hadnt even heard of Night Lion City before.

How far are we from Southary?

Hearing her, Kan Hang looked at her oddly. Who knows Maybe a thousand miles, or perhaps many thousands Very far, I would say. And we wont be going back.

How could it be! Lam Ming stood up, tears rolling down her cheeks. She heard a thud. It was the box that Chui Yim gave her. Seeing the box, she burst into tears. Im going to look for brother Chui! Before mummy passed on, she said Brother Chui would take care of me!

Kan Hang frowned. He knew very well who Sit Ting was. As the most famous g-chef on the continent, even though she wasnt an expert in fights, she was definitely more knowledgeable than many others. For that bald kid to take care of the princess?

I dont care. Kan Hang shook his head. I only know I am to send you home.

Home? Lam Ming said, smiling sadly. Youve already brought me away from my home.

Your true home. Kan Hang shook his head. Do you know who your father is?

Father?

Lam Ming was taken aback by Kan Hangs words. As a ten year old, she was definitely curious about who her father was, but since that day when she once asked Sit Ting, Lam Ming never once asked again seeing that Sit Ting stayed silent for the entire day after. Despite this, she had always wondered who her father was.

Being a straightforward person, Kan Hang went straight to the point. This is just my guess, but it should be right, he said, face turning serious. Sit Ting, your mother, was previously the head chef of the imperial kitchen of the Evergreen Palace, and she had a relationship with Emperor Lam in the past.

Just ten years ago, she suddenly disappeared from the palace, and you should be about ten years old, right?

Youre the current emperors daughter! The royal princess of the Lam Dynasty!" Kan Hang looked at Lam Ming with respect.
