"That's right ….. Who would have thought that Chang Huan would have such a card up his sleeves, to fool all of us." One of the youths nodded.
"That's right. He couldn't even beat me in a fight in the past, not retaliating when I hit him, not rebuking when I scold him, and still smiling all the time. But look at him now, he's so eccentric, and so arrogant ….."
Chang Huan could be said to have been easily bullied in the Shadow Moon Palace in the past, but that mouth of his had always sucked up to Elder Ying's thigh, which made quite a number of disciples despise him. But who would have thought that the weak and hypocritical Chang Huan would have such a powerful trump card hidden up his sleeves.
"Alright, all of you can leave first. Today's incident, pretend it never happened. If I hear a single word about it, all of you can forget about remaining in the Shadow Moon Palace. "Elder Yue said sinisterly.
The youths hurriedly responded, lowered their heads, and disappeared without a trace.
Elder Yue's heart fell to rock bottom. Jun Wu was still locked up in the dungeon and it might not be too obvious. But once Jun Wu was allowed to come out of the dungeon alive, then the power in Elder Ying's hands would rapidly grow.
That was a point that Elder Yue could not help but worry about.
With Jun Wu's current powers, even if Yue Yi were to make a move, he would not be able to finish him off. And Elder Yue was not willing to do it himself. Once he made a move, the Palace Lord would immediately be able to tell that something was amiss and he would not be able to find a reason to erase the matter.
But, Elder Yue would definitely not allow Jun Wu to walk out of the dungeon alive.
When it was mealtime, the jailors brought food to the prisoners in each of the cells. Jun Xie's cell also had some steamed buns placed there and the jailors who came to deliver the food left after putting the food down, acting like they had not noticed that Jun Xie's cell had been burnt down.
Jun Wu Xie brought the steamed bun over and sniffed it, her eyes flashing with a chill before she calmly ate it bite by bite.
The jailor hidden in the shadows saw Jun Wu swallow the steamed bun and immediately ran out, heading towards Elder Yue's courtyard.
At that moment, Elder Yue was sitting in his study, talking to Yue Yi about something. When he saw the jailor rush in, he immediately stopped his conversation with Yue Yi and Yue Yi retreated silently to one side.
"Reporting to Elder Yue, Chang Huan ate it."
Elder Yue arched up an eyebrow and his face revealed a smile.
"Did you see her swallow it with your own eyes?"
The jailer said, "I saw her swallow half a steamed bun with my own eyes. After she ate it, she didn't notice anything at all."
Elder Yue nodded his head in satisfaction and waved his hand to dismiss the jailer.
After the jailer left, Elder Yue leaned back against the back of the chair, his hands crossed over his abdomen, his face filled with glee.
But Yue Yi's emotions had become highly complicated. Having been by Elder Yue's side for so long, he knew Elder Yue's methods better than anyone else and the jailer's words just now had made his heart jump.
"Elder Yue." Yue Yi could not help but call out.
"Hmm?" Elder Yue seemed to be in a good mood.
"You want to get rid of Chang Huan?" Yue Yi suppressed the urgency in his heart and asked casually.
Elder Yue sneered and said: "If we don't get rid of her, are we going to wait till she leaves the dungeon to strengthen Elder Ying's power?"
Yue Yi was shocked.
Elder Yue then said: "That kid's powers had indeed exceeded my expectations. I had wanted to send someone to teach him a lesson but I had not thought that he would be so sensitive, not falling for it at all."
