The hair-raising cry belonged to a crane.316Please respect copyright.PENANAkgqbO4gOPi
Kam Chin Kee sensed the normal and gliphic beasts staring at them from the foot of the mountain scamper away in an instant. When they turned around, a white figure was standing in front of them, elegant and pure.316Please respect copyright.PENANAGHaJYdGa8b
It was a white crane many times bigger than an ordinary crane with a neck of about three meters long. It didn’t seem to like Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim, making soundless cries at them.316Please respect copyright.PENANAIRrMJDzXYu
Currently, it stood in the middle of the path like a gangster who was unwilling to make way unless paid.

“You’ve made it, kiddo.” At the same time, Chui Yim heard a very familiar voice that had accompanied him and Chor Shing Chit from the South.316Please respect copyright.PENANANRNsSr8ALg
“Old man! You’re here!” Chui Yim exclaimed loudly. He long knew that Bak Wun was extraordinary, but he never expected to meet him here at Cerulean Mountain! Now that Chui Yim thought about it though, it was more than reasonable; a one-chambered state old man who possessed capabilities surpassing those of his state and who was able to secure Chui Yim a precious spot in the outer sect, where else could he be from?316Please respect copyright.PENANAVfsznyI8BG
“Junior Brother, you shouldn’t be so rude to Uncle Wun.” Sung Tsz Hin shook his head in disagreement after hearing how Chui Yim addressed Bak Wun.316Please respect copyright.PENANApLMy1bAAQm
However, Bak Wun rolled his eyes at Sung Tsz Hin. “How can I have you address me as uncle when you’re much older than me?”316Please respect copyright.PENANAhXdyHvSEHs
“I’m young at heart.” Sung Tsz Hin joked.316Please respect copyright.PENANAoF2WnbxzTY
But Bak Wun was aware that Sung Tsz Hin was only younger than him in terms of looks. The latter was much more powerful than him, while he was only in the one-chambered state.316Please respect copyright.PENANAIOjfQm3B76
The arrogant white crane scooted towards Bak Wun fondly. Bak Wun laughed and caressed the crane’s snowy white feathers with adoration.

“I’m the crane keeper, or should I say, the palace master’s previous carriage driver.” Bak Wun smiled gently, not planning to keep them confused about his identity.316Please respect copyright.PENANA7s5dxH4Fey
“But I resigned about twenty years ago since I’ve reached an age too old to drive Little White all around or accompany Palace Master everywhere. Thus, I left for Southary and set up an institution with the money the palace master gave me.316Please respect copyright.PENANA8CBZRazxP0
“The extra spot in the outer sect was added the day I left, meant to be for just Riding Clouds Academy disciples. Sadly, there was never anybody who performed well enough to be awarded the spot.”316Please respect copyright.PENANAjfdfV66ng1
Bak Wun spoke about news that might turn the world upside down so casually. If it was widely known that Riding Clouds Academy had a special spot in the outer sect for their disciples and their principal was part of Cloud Palace, it would not be as shabby as how it was when Chui Yim and Lam Ming Sum attended it.316Please respect copyright.PENANAiARxKSwEjJ
Riding Clouds as in taking the academy as a carriage and riding it to Cloud Palace?316Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ4eLFPyQb
Sometimes, melodrama plots or even bizarre events do take place in real life.
“When I broke through, the gliph tattooed on me had Little White’s feather as the main ingredient.” Bak Wun turned to the crane next to him, smiling like a proud grandfather.316Please respect copyright.PENANAO0rqa0sT4h
Now, all the puzzles were linked up.316Please respect copyright.PENANAELCtwJlEjn
It now made sense why a one-chambered Bak Wun could fight two-chambered gliphers, beat up those of his state badly, and was able to send a death blow to the four-chambered state necrocultivator, Yellow Springs Lady, with just a crane’s cry.
“But now, I’ll have to address you as Seventh Teacher.” Bak Wun laughed. He looked at Chui Yim and Lam Ming Sum, his previous disciples, proudly. In fact, he only asked for the special spot back then as a joke.316Please respect copyright.PENANASA4B7wyBi5
But who would have thought that the seventh teacher of this generation was brought by Bak Wun all the way from Southary? He was definitely brimming with pride.316Please respect copyright.PENANAEzH4Y97OHS
’”Old… Uncle Wun, will you continue staying here?” Seeing Sung Tsz Hin’s glare, Chui Yim swallowed the rude name he had for Bak Wun.316Please respect copyright.PENANAchcupIFJzo
Bak Wun shook his head. There were obvious wrinkles around his eyes. “I’m old and do not have any talent for cultivation; the one-chambered state is my limit. My only strength is that Little White adores me. Thus, I am content to watch those Southary kids grow.316Please respect copyright.PENANAj4ByQ6Jq6g
“I’m here specifically to bid you all goodbye.”316Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5B1lCRAHR
Bak Wun took a glance at Sung Tsz Hin. He would be lying if he said that he did not feel indignant that Sung Tsz Hin still looked the same as when he entered as a teenager while he was in his last years.316Please respect copyright.PENANA7RQKKCf8xB
However, having not much time left, he couldn’t care about such things anymore. Which commoner besides him would have the honour to watch the seven Cloud Palace disciples of a generation grow?316Please respect copyright.PENANAIzgv1C0riD
Flowers would wither one day, but the colourful fireworks in life would never be forgotten.
He did not have any regrets, especially after watching Chui Yim become the seventh teacher of Cloud Palace. If today was his last day, he would die in peace.316Please respect copyright.PENANAILZQ3NeFjL
With that, Bak Wun left, leaving Little White staring at him with great unwillingness.316Please respect copyright.PENANACO8IEtKJaS
Chui Yim didn’t know what gliphic beast Little White was, but it was definitely no ordinary crane, or it would never have become the Seven-Star Elder’s mount.

Sung Tsz Hin left with the group and made their way to Cloud Forest. After Bak Wun took his leave, Little White flew off, not forgetting to glare at Chui Yim before it did so.
“It might be your commotion this morning that woke it up. It has a bad morning temper.” Sung Tsz Hin laughed.316Please respect copyright.PENANAJiogwVrNWM
The teenagers shook their heads and all headed to Cloud Forest.316Please respect copyright.PENANAAdIHN5CY7n
Outside of Cloud Forest, Cheuk Kwun had his eyes shut tightly, not frowning but seeming to be deep in thought.316Please respect copyright.PENANAIRPrcIdsOr
“Don’t go over for now; Mister Cheuk is spirit roaming.”
“Spirit roam?” Chui Yim was confused.316Please respect copyright.PENANAzCmOuTIAoD
Sung Tsz Hin nodded and pointed to Cloud Forest. “That’s why the Cloud Rank is updated by the librarian of the generation; all of them possess this ability to spirit roam.316Please respect copyright.PENANAa2Lz7pARrD
“It’s a power, as well as a talent to learn a special type of gliphism.”
