But the size of the hairpin was a little different, a little smaller than the ones used by ordinary girls, looking more like something a young child would use.
Jun Wu Xie flipped through a few more brocade boxes and discovered that most of the brocade boxes were simple and cheap little trinkets. From the looks of it, they were all from a very long time ago, and in terms of value, they were not even worth a single cent.
But all these things had one thing in common, they were basically things that children would wear.
Longevity lockets, silver bracelets …..
Placed upon the cabinets on the three walls, were all little trinkets for children.
Jun Wu Xie was almost certain that the reason these things had appeared here, was because of Elder Yue's strange fetish!
The owners of these things, must have suffered under Elder Yue's torment in this little room. Those children had finally died in despair and terror, and their belongings had then been kept by Elder Yue like trophies of war in this secret chamber.
Such a truth made Jun Wu Xie feel utterly disgusted!
She wondered what kind of mentality Elder Yue was using to remove all these things from the bodies of those children? How could he possibly be able to continue his sin with a clear conscience while surrounded by so many vengeful spirits?
Jun Wu Xie suppressed the disgust in her heart and looked through all the things. The positions of the things were mostly arranged according to how old they were.
On the cabinet closest to the door, the few brocade boxes placed were also slightly newer.
But there was one point that made Jun Wu Xie notice that something was not right. When Ye Sha had stolen the jade pendant from here, he had not touched the original brocade box, but had used another brocade box to store it out. The brocade box that had originally held Elder Ying's jade pendant was still placed upon the cabinet, and according to what Ye Sha had said, that brocade box was placed right at the front.
Jun Wu Xie quickly found her target. But compared to the other brocade boxes, the brocade box that contained the jade pendant was a little different in colour.
The other brocade boxes were made from Black Iron Wood, but this one was made from mahogany.
In the entire room, only this piece of jade was made from mahogany.
That shouldn't be a coincidence, and it couldn't be because the Black Iron Wood boxes had been used up. Because Jun Wu Xie saw many Black Iron Wood brocade boxes piled up in a corner of the room.
Moreover, that mahogany brocade box was not new. From the looks of it, it seemed to be very old, even older than all the other brocade boxes in the secret chamber.
Jun Wu Xie's brows creased up slightly, a startling guess suddenly rising up in her mind.
"Young Miss, Elder Yue is coming back." Just as Jun Wu Xie was deep in thought, Ye Gu's voice suddenly sounded from outside the secret chamber. Jun Wu Xie immediately reined in her thoughts and returned everything within the secret chamber to its original state before she retreated out from the secret chamber.
Jun Wu Xie had just stepped out from Elder Yue's courtyard when Elder Yue came rushing back. Just like yesterday, he had merely walked around his own courtyard and did not do anything out of the ordinary, just like nothing had happened at all.
After Jun Wu Xie left Elder Yue's study, she did not go straight back to her own residence but turned to go towards Elder Ying's residence instead.
Elder Ying had been very leisurely and carefree over this period. He had never had much desire towards the Shadow Moon Palace's struggle for power and profit. When the Shadow Moon Palace Lord was complaining about his health previously, he had only fought with him to make Elder Yue unhappy. But now that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had regained his hold on power, the various Elders' power had been reduced a little, and Elder Ying could be said to be the happiest among all of them, having more time to himself every day.
