Jun Wu Xie nodded. She acknowledged the might of the Night Regime, but no matter how powerful her subordinates were, if they were not willing to listen to her arrangements, she might as well not have them.
Even the people Jun Wu Yao had left behind were the same.
Jun Wu Xie had her own set of principles.
"Now, bring me to Elder Yue's study." Jun Wu Xie said with her eyes narrowed. She needed to go take a look for herself.
At that moment, Elder Yue was handling the affairs of the Twelve Palaces and Ye Sha was secretly monitoring his every move while Ye Gu stood guard outside Elder Yue's study.
Jun Wu Xie walked into Elder Yue's study alone and opened the secret chamber in Elder Yue's study according to the mechanism that Ye Gu had told her.
It was a room about twenty square meters and there was a row of wooden cabinets along the three walls of the room. On every level, there were various brocade boxes and the different sized brocade boxes were neatly arranged on the shelves while some of the smaller brocade boxes were stacked together. The secret chamber was very clean but Jun Wu Xie who was highly sensitive to the smell of blood could still smell a faint scent of blood.
Right in the middle of the secret chamber, a white jade bed made out of nephrite laid horizontally, and upon the surface of the bed were some uneven and long marks. Within those marks, she could faintly see some blackened filth. Jun Wu Xie used a silver needle to pick it out to examine it and discovered that the blackened things were actually blood stains that had congealed for an unknown period of time!
The hardness of nephrite was lower and it was easy for scratches to appear. Jun Wu Xie stared at the marks that looked like they had been torn apart and the blood stains that had coagulated for a long time and she suddenly understood everything.
This place must have been the place where Elder Yue had molested the children. Upon this clean and beautiful soft jade bed, it was unknown just how many ignorant and ignorant children had suffered under his vile hands. The streaks upon streaks of brand marks had been left behind by those children as they struggled.
Just how much agony had it been for those young and tender children to use their hands to leave so many marks upon the nephrite bed?
They had cried out for help in the secret chamber, struggling in despair and agony, their nails broken and their blood flowing into the nephrite, leaving behind those black blood stains.
Jun Wu Xie drew in a deep breath. In that tiny little secret chamber, it was unknown how many vengeful spirits were wailing.
Closing her eyes, she seemed to be able to see the young lives crying out in despair.
Jun Wu Xie calmed the roiling emotions in her heart and calmed her heart down to examine the tiny clues within the secret chamber. At the bottom of the soft jade bed, she found the marks left behind by several drops of blood. Compared to the blood stains on the soft jade bed, these blood stains were much fresher and it was just as Ye Gu had predicted. These blood stains had not been left behind for too long and should have only been left behind in the past few days.
Jun Wu Xie squatted down and pulled out a medicine bottle from her Cosmos Sack. She opened the lid and a beige white liquid dripped onto the dried blood stain. The blood stain quickly melted into the liquid and Jun Wu Xie put the blood stain and the liquid into a new bottle. She then stood up and looked around at the cupboards around her.
The jade pendant that Elder Yue needed had been found here by Ye Sha. What kind of thing could Elder Yue have stored here?
Jun Wu Xie walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a brocade box the size of her palm. After she opened it, she saw a rusty and stained hairpin inside the box. The workmanship of the hairpin was rough and crude and it was not inlaid with any jade, just the simplest and cheapest kind of hairpin.
But the size of the hairpin was a little different, a little smaller compared to the ones used by ordinary girls, looking more like something a young child would use.
