Zi Jin looked at Jun Wu, not understanding what the youth before her eyes was thinking. Zi Jin had a feeling that even if she opened her mouth to ask more, she would not be able to get the answer she wanted.
Her legs curled up and her arms wrapped around her knees, Zi Jin looked at Jun Wu's side profile and fell silent.
It was the Pure Grace Palace Lord's birthday and the lands the Pure Grace Palace was situated in were decorated with lanterns and coloured banners, celebrating the Palace Lord's birthday early on.
The division of power between the Twelve Palaces and the Nine Temples, from Jun Wu Xie's point of view, was very much like the division between countries in the Lower Realm. Every single palace among the Twelve Palaces had their own territories under their jurisdiction and within their territories, everyone had to listen to the orders of a particular palace and would be given corresponding protection.
As the Pure Grace Palace Lord's birthday approached, the number of people rushing towards the Pure Grace Palace from all over the place to offer their well wishes increased.
It was not just the other eleven palaces. In the Middle Realm, besides the One Region, Four Sides, Nine Temples and Twelve Palaces, there were also other small scattered powers. The powers of those powers were naturally unable to match up to the colossal Twelve Palaces and the reason they were able to survive till now was firstly because they were cautious and did not dare to break the rules, and secondly because they were in "harmony" with the Twelve Palaces.
Whenever there was a need, they would spare no effort to deliver all kinds of treasures and it was because of their "obedience" that the Twelve Palaces had tacitly approved of their existence.
Jun Wu Xie and the others' horse carriages slowly drove into the boundaries of the Pure Grace Palace. On the main road, there were many horse carriages bearing all kinds of banners, most of those horse carriages filled with congratulatory gifts for the Pure Grace Palace Lord.
The youth tied up by Jun Wu Xie was rather obedient, not making a fuss along the way, eating and drinking whatever was given to him, so obedient that it made people subconsciously forget that he was a captive that Jun Wu Xie had "robbed" him of.
Before they went into the Pure Grace Palace, Jun Wu Xie temporarily stopped the horse carriages in a nearby town and found an inn to stay in.
Although they were within the boundaries of the Pure Grace Palace, the Shadow Moon Palace's banners on the horse carriages still made many of the citizens tremble in fear and trepidation. When the waiter in the inn saw the banners on the horse carriages, his legs began to tremble and even the innkeeper came running out in a hurry to receive them. After a round of fawning, he respectfully escorted Jun Wu Xie and the others to the best room.
Zi Jin went back to her room to rest first while Jun Wu Xie got Ye Sha to bring the youth who had been tied up for several days to her own room.
The youth suddenly raised his head and saw an unfamiliar countenance. But that face and that pair of eyes gave him a sense of déjà vu and he immediately understood why Jun Xie had changed his looks.
When he was brought before Jun Xie, the youth did not make a fuss and just stood there unmoving. There was no hatred or fear in his eyes, but just a look of cold indifference.
Jun Wu Xie rested her chin on one hand and looked at the cold faced youth. She seemed to see herself in him from the past.
"You have a grudge against the Shadow Moon Palace?" Jun Wu Xie suddenly asked.
The youth was slightly taken aback and his brows creased up slightly as he looked at Jun Xie with a rather complicated gaze.
"How does it feel to sell your life for your enemy?" Jun Wu Xie asked.
The young man's brows furrowed even tighter, but he did not deny this point from the beginning to the end.
"I do not know what kind of enmity you have with the Shadow Moon Palace, but I can give you a chance now. A chance for you to exact your own vengeance. Whether you want it or not, it will be up to you to choose." Jun Wu Xie said slowly as she raised her eyes to look at the youth.
