Words:955Update:22/06/30 03:58:32
Throughout the night, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's condition did not improve and the many physicians guarded the sleeping chambers throughout the night, not daring to take a single step away. The various Elders in the palace heard the news and rushed over to stand guard within the sleeping chambers.
That night, all the influential people in the Shadow Moon Palace could not sleep well.
And in the dungeon, Jun Wu Xie was sleeping soundly.
Until a light sound rang out and Jun Wu Xie who was leaning against the wall to rest opened her eyes under the dim candlelight.
"Young Miss." It was not known when Ye Sha had come into the jail cell.
"Hmm?" Jun Wu Xie stretched her neck and sat up.
"The thing that Young Miss instructed your subordinate to look for has been found. I would like for Young Miss to have a look." As he spoke, Ye Sha handed a brocade box into Jun Wu Xie's hands.
Jun Wu Xie had handed the half a jade pendant that Elder Ying had given her to Ye Sha during the day, asking him to go to Elder Yue's residence to look for clues. She had not thought that Ye Sha would move so quickly and in less than half a day, he had already found the thing.
Jun Wu Xie opened the brocade box and found two incomplete pieces of jade lying quietly inside. The two pieces of jade were still perfectly fused together, and no matter from the quality of the jade or the lines of the carving, the two pieces of jade should have been a single piece in the first place.
"Found in Elder Yue's room?" Jun Wu Xie took out the two pieces of jade pendants and inspected them in her hand. Because of the Soul Calming Jade, it had made her develop a sliver of interest towards these jade artefacts. For Elder Ying to value these pieces of jade so highly, there must be a special reason behind it.
Unfortunately, after Jun Wu Xie examined them for a while, she did not feel anything out of the ordinary.
This piece of jade, was just an ordinary jade pendant. Besides the quality of the jade, it was no different from any other kind of jade.
"Yes, Elder Yue did not go back today and it was much more convenient for your subordinate to search." Ye Sha said honestly. Actually, with his skills, even if Elder Yue was here, it would be very difficult for him to detect his presence. But under the circumstances that he was not around, Ye Sha did not have to worry too much when he was rummaging through the things.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head and suddenly stood up from the pile of hay.
"Young Miss, Lord Jue had some matters to attend to and instructed your subordinate that if Young Miss needed to look for him for anything, he would rush back immediately." Ye Sha said.
Jun Wu Xie made a light sound of acknowledgement, already used to Jun Wu Yao coming and going without a trace.
Jun Wu Yao had rushed over from the Lower Realm and Jun Wu Xie knew that he must have left behind a lot of important things. She would not ask him to stay by her side all the time. Just like herself, she had things that she needed to deal with and so did he.
"Then what does the Young Miss intend to do next?" Ye Sha asked.
Jun Wu Xie kept the jade pendant away and the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer.
"Since the items are already in my hands, I will naturally hand them over to those who need them." She had not forgotten what Elder Ying had promised her and she believed that these two jade pendants might bring her some unexpected gains.
"Young Miss really trusts that Elder Ying?" Ye Sha asked curiously.
"Don't doubt the people you use." Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow.
Jun Wu Xie walked out from the dungeon brazenly, with Ye Sha hidden in the darkness to guard her.
The jailer who guarded the dungeon had already fallen into a deep slumber, drooling as he lay sprawled upon the table, completely unaware that Jun Wu Xie who was being held captive was swaggering out right before his eyes.
Deep into the night, Elder Ying sat alone in his room. When the many other Elders went to watch over the Palace Lord, only he alone chose to ignore them.
