The bright moon shone brightly outside the window as Elder Ying drank lightly under the moonlight, the corners of his mouth tightened, his gaze deep.
At that moment, in the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's sleeping chambers, many Elders were still surrounding the Palace Lord's bed, fawning over him, but he was not included among those people.
As he was looking at the moonlight outside, a figure suddenly appeared within Elder Ying's line of sight.
"You've come." The corners of Elder Ying's mouth curled up into a smile as he swirled the wine in his cup, not surprised by the person who had come.
Jun Wu Xie walked into the room silently and sat herself down on the chair beside Elder Ying. She placed the palm sized brocade box upon the table and with a light push of her finger, she pushed it right before Elder Ying.
Elder Ying arched up an eyebrow. "You found it?"
"Take a look and you'll know." Jun Wu Xie did not give a direct reply.
Elder Ying raised his hand to press upon the brocade box, his gaze falling upon the figure of Jun Wu Xie.
"You thought that you would still need a period of time before you would be able to find what I want and you've come back so quickly?" Elder Ying was a little surprised. Elder Yue guarded his own courtyard very strictly and even though Elder Ying had thought of various ways, even with a youth as agile as Chang Huan, he had not been able to find what he wanted in Elder Yue's courtyard. Every single time he had the chance, he had been unable to accomplish his goal due to the lack of time.
Never would he have thought that Jun Wu Xie would only use half a day's time to solve the problem that had plagued him for so many years.
"You're not going to take a look?" Jun Wu Xie asked Elder Ying with her head tilted slightly.
Elder Ying took the thing but was not in a hurry to open it, his hand resting upon the brocade box seemingly nonchalantly, but it made Jun Wu Xie feel his nervousness.
He seemed to be afraid of what was inside the brocade box.
To him, that jade pendant must hold a very deep meaning.
Elder Ying drew in a deep breath and his gaze fell upon the brocade box, his knuckles turning slightly white from the tightness as he slowly opened the brocade box.
Lying quietly within the brocade box were two pieces of jade that had been cut into halves. The two pieces of jade had been pieced back together, leaving only a thin crack in the middle.
With just one look, the colour drained from Elder Ying's face in an instant, his deep eyes burying turbulent waves, even his breathing slowing down.
This was a reaction that people would only have when they were extremely shocked and angry …
"Ha ….. Hahaha ….. What a great Shadow Moon Palace, what a great Elder Yue ….. Hahaha ….." Suddenly, Elder Ying threw his head back and laughed loudly, but there wasn't the slightest bit of joy in that laughter, but only a terrifying rage.
He was so angry that he laughed. That was probably what he meant.
Elder Ying gripped the two jade pendants in his hand, gripping them tightly in his palm. He did not stop, the strength in his hand tightening bit by bit, drops of blood dripping down from his hand.
After laughing for a long while, Elder Ying's laughter suddenly stopped. He lowered his head, his eyes bloodshot, the pair of crimson red eyes staring unwaveringly at the blood stained jade pendant in his palm, his terrifying gaze hiding a sliver of sorrow and despair.
"Kid, do you know where this jade pendant came from?" Elder Ying's voice was a little hoarse, a little stifled.
"I do not know." Jun Wu Xie had studied the jade pendant but had not noticed anything strange about it and Ye Sha had not been able to identify the origins of the jade pendant.
"Do you know of the Zhan Family Clan?" Elder Ying asked as he raised his eyes to look at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head.
Elder Ying smiled bitterly and said: "My name is Zhan Miao, and I am the current Family Head of the Zhan Family Clan. Our Zhan Family Clan has existed in the Middle Realm since several thousand years ago and generations of our clan members have witnessed the changes in the Middle Realm with their own eyes. "
