Yue Yi was Jun Wu’s ally, just like the Spirit Jade Palace was, an ally to Jun Wu.
Jun Wu’s nimble mind might be able to let him complete whatever he seeked to do. But how would he treat his allies?
Volume 18
Chapter 1719: “Doubts (3)”
Back in the Spirit Jade Palace before, Zi Jin had heard Granny Yue mention that Jun Wu’s powers was not what disciples of the Spirit Jade Palace like her could take on and had given them strict orders to not go provoke Jun Wu. Even their Palace Lord himself had also been helpless against Jun Wu.
It could be seen from that that Jun Wu’s powers were surely not weak. Hence, with that power, it shouldn’t be unable to teach Zhuge Yin a lesson.
Jun Wu could have very well defeated Zhuge Yin up on the arena stage, to save Yue Yi, and teach Zhuge Yin a deserving lesson.
But Jun Wu had not done that. Just as Zi Jin had thought that with Jun Wu’s appearance, he would be able to turn the tables completely around, the words that Jun Wu said had instead chilled Zi Jin’s heart felt like it had fallen into a icy lake.
Zi Jin could roughy guess what Jun Wu’s intentions for coming to the Pure Grace Palace. She was also aware that before Jun Wu achieves his motives, he must definitely not have his identity exposed. But….. Yue Yi was in such a critical crisis at that moment! He had almost lost his life!
And as an ally, Jun Wu had still chosen to conceal his identity, choosing to not do anything.
To allow Zhuge Yin to continue inflicting agonizing harm upon Yue Yi.
Zi Jin did not know why Zhuge Yin had chosen to spare Yue Yi in the end, but all that Zi Jin knew was that if Zhuge Yin had not stopped right at the end, Yue Yi would already be dead.
Killed by Jun Wu’s cold indifference.
“I am not able to explain it well. All I know is that I do not understand him, and I can’t understand what he is thinking at all….. When you were so severely wounded yesterday, by all logic, there should at least be one person watching over you in the room last night, but…..” Zi Jin’s voice paused, as she looked around at the empty room. Before she came here, there was only Yue Yi alone in the room.
Although Jun Wu had saved Yue Yi, but judging from every one of his actions, he did not really care about the lives of his allies.
Such practical rationality to the extent that it was mercilessly cold, made Zi Jin feel her blood turn chill.
It was Yue Yi this time. But if there came a day that the Spirit Jade Palace was in trouble, would Jun Wu similarly stand by and watch without lifting a finger?
What kind of an ally was that?
Zi Jin did not dare to continue on with the thought. Having once been fogged to hold a good opinion towards Jun Wu, all of that had completely dissipated under Jun Wu’s merciless indifference, and her trust of Jun Wu had been completely obliterated.
Yue Yi looked at the highly conflicted Zi Jin, knowing that her thoughts were in a complete mess, and he tried to say comfortingly: “You might be thinking too much into it. Didn’t you say it yourself that it was Young Master Jun who saved me? I’m a man, not a little girl, and do not need to be carefully pampered. Am I not just fine now?”
“Was he even saving you? He doesn’t care whether you lived or died at all!” Zi Jin could not hold her mouth and the moment the words were said, her face turned slightly pale.
“What….. What do you mean?” Yue Yi’s face was filled with surprise.
Zi Jin gritted her teeth and looked at Yue Yi who was all covered in wounds. She finally could not hold herself back any longer as she said: “He had indeed come yesterday. But he did not say a single word to plead with Zhuge Yin to spare you. He had instead handed you completely over to Zhuge Yin before everyone’s eyes, to be dealt with as he pleased. He did not beg a single time on your behalf. You are Young Master Jun’s ally, and so am I. Seeing you being treated like this, I am fearful…..”
Yue Yi looked at Zi Jin in shock, unable to react at that moment.
Zi Jin was feeling rather flustered with everything she had said. She stood up and then said: “Forget it. Take it as I have not said anything. I will only tell you one thing. Young Master Jun does not care as much as we thought about what the word ally really means. We will have to look out for ourselves from now on.”

Chapter 1720: “Doubts (4)”
After Zi Jin said all those words, she then went out of Yue Yi’s room in a rush. She seemed determined when she left, but upon stepping out from the room, she fell back to lean upon the door with her face pale. Even she herself did not know why she had said all that to Yue Yi, but just felt a sort of unease hovering within her heart which just made her unable to calm down.
“What’s wrong?” A cold clear voice suddenly rang out at the side of Zi Jin’s ear.
As if struck by lightning, Zi Jin’s body stiffened and she hurriedly raised her head, to suddenly see Jun Wu walking towards Yue Yi’s room.
Zi Jin heart jumped in shock inside, but she tried her best to maintain a calm expression on her face.
“Nothing….. Nothing….. I just came to see Yue Yi. He had woken up.” Zi Jin said as she lowered her head, unable to meet Jun Wu’s clear eyes.
Jun Wu Xie did not suspect anything, but just nodded her head.
“I….. I’ll go over and see if the Pure Grace Palace can bring some porridge for Yue Yi.” Zi Jin said nervously.
“Alright.” Jun Wu Xie nodded.
Zi Jin then went off in a hurry past Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Yao standing behind Jun Wu Xie raised up an eyebrow as he watched Zi Jin running away in a fluster. After Zi Jin left, Jun Wu Yao then slowly raised up a hand and wrapped Jun Wu Xie in front of him in an embrace, as he lowered his head to say beside her ear: “Why do I see that there seems to be something wrong with her?”
Jun Wu Xie replied: “Normal.”
Jun Wu Yao laughed. “You’re really not going to explain it to her a little? I can see that she does not understand a thing of all the heart you put into the situation yesterday.”
“No need.” Jun Wu Xie pulled away the arm Jun Wu Yao had wrapped around her shoulders and walked over to Yue Yi door before she pushed the door open.
In the room, Yue Yi had his eyes open as he stared at the top of the bed. Hearing someone come in, he turned his eyes to look and saw that it was Jun Wu before his heart felt relieved.
Jun Wu Xie walked over to the side of the bed, and placed her fingertips upon Yue Yi’s wrist to check his condition. She had not spoken a single word since she entered the room and it was Yue Yi who could not hold back and opened his mouth to speak.
“How are my injuries? You can be just give it to me straight. I will be able to take it.” Yue Yi said seriously. Yesterday, he had prepared himself to be killed. Being able to still live, was already sort of fortunate.
Jun Wu Xie raised up her eyes to look at Yue Yi’s highly serious face before she said slowly: “Meridians ruined, internal organs severely damaged. Bones broken in as many as seventeen places. Spirit powers maimed, unable to practice cultivation in future. Even recovered, will be frail and sickly, lifespan to be thirty at most.”
With Jun Wu Xie prattling a whole trail of words, it caused the hope in Yue Yi to fall from the clouds into the pits of despair, his eyes widening, a glint of hopelessness rising up within.
Spirit powers maimed…..
Unable to cultivate?
Frail and sickly…..
Thirty…..
The series of prognoses, battered at Yue Yi, throwing him into great agony. He knew very well himself, just how severe his injuries had been yesterday, a mere step away from death. But he had been fortunate enough to live through it, which gave rise to that tiny sliver of hope in his heart. And when Jun Wu had told him that highly cruel truth, Yue Yi really felt what it was like to suffer a fate worse than death!
He had become completely useless!
Unable to cultivate spirit powers, and his body would become unimaginably weak.
In that condition, there was no need to even talk about returning back to the Shadow Moon Palace to protect his younger sister! If Elder Yue knew that he had become completely useless, Yue Yi did not need to think what his fate would be!
Volume 18
Chapter 1721: “Continuing to Live (1)”
Elder Yue had not made any moves against Yue Yi little sister all this time because Yue Yi possessed exceptional gift. Although he had wanted to extend his demonic claws upon Yue Yi, he had instead just used Yue Yi little sister to threaten Yue Yi, to ensure Yue Yi followed every single one of his orders, unable to resist.
But if Yue Yi were to lose his usefulness, then Elder Yue would have ways to make Yue Yi truly taste what Hell would be like!
And Yue Yi would lose the only way he could protect his little sister with as well.
In just an instant, the colour faded completely from Yue Yi’s face, to turn white as a sheet.
Jun Wu Xie looked calmly at Yue Yi’s pallor that had turned an extremely ugly shade and then said rather expressionlessly: “Able to take it?”
Yue Yi opened his mouth, his trembling lip betraying his heart that was almost at the point of crumbling.
“I lied.” Jun Wu Xie said those words suddenly.
The eyes that Yue Yi looked at him with were incredulous and filled with disbelief.
Jun Wu Xie did not seem to feel that her joke had been so unnervingly terrifying. She merely continued to treat Yue Yi’s wounds while she said: “One month’s nursing would have you make a full recovery.”
“Is…. is what you are saying really true? You are not….. lying to me?” Yue Yi really did not dare to take Jun Wu’s word for it anymore.
Jun Wu Xie arched up an eyebrow, and then nodded her head.
Yue Yi just felt like he needed to cry so badly. This was the first time he came to know that the seemingly highly cold Jun Wu even possessed the skill to “joke”.
Truly one who was usually silent, but just highly astounds when he speaks. This very first time he cracked a joke, had nearly shocked him out of half his life.
“Do you now know that not everything would be what you are able to shoulder?” Jun Wu Xie said, seeing the colour come back onto Yue Yi’s face.
Yue Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry but just nodded his head. Shocks like this were truly something his heart would not be able to take.
“If you realize it now, then remember it clearly in your head that if you truly care for your younger sister, then you must understand that if you die, she will have to follow in your footsteps.” Jun Wu Xie’s words, suddenly swerved into another direction.
Yue Yi was rather taken aback.
“If you had died under Zhuge Yin’s hands yesterday, do you think that Elder Yue will treat your younger sister well because of guilt?” Jun Wu Xie said, a chill rising within her eyes.
Yue Yi found himself at a loss for words.
Just how cruel and venomous Elder Yue could be, Yue Yi knew it only too well. If he had died, his little sister would then experience living hell.
“If you want to die, you’re free to do that. But if there are people that you care deeply about, then this life of yours must not be given up upon so easily. Otherwise, the ones that would suffer, would be those very people.” Jun Wu Xie said with a slight lift of her eyebrow. From the first time she had encountered Yue Yi, she had already detected that there was completely no life in Yue Yi’s gaze. He did not hold any fear towards death, to the extent that his heart might really be longing for death to come.
With everything that Elder Yue had done to him, it had already caused him to lose the will to live. The fact that he had lived such a despicable existence till now was only because of his little sister.
This was a point that Jun Wu Xie could not agree to.
“But….. if I did not go up onto that stage, Zhuge Yin would tell everyone about all that Elder Yue had done! It wouldn’t matter to me, but I can’t let me little sister…..” Yue Yi said rather anxiously.
Jun Wu Xie laughed sneeringly, interrupting his self pitying.
“Would you feel that rumours and gossips would cause your sister more harm, or when she turns to finally become Elder Yue’s plaything?”
If Yue Yi were to die, Elder Yue would not longer have any misgivings and everything that had been done upon Yue Yi would all fall straight onto his little sister.
Jun Wu Xie’s words were like a bucket of cold water that was thrown straight down upon his head, sending chills to run through him which also caused him to completely awaken his senses.
Volume 18
Chapter 1722: “Continuing to Live (2)”
Jun Wu Xie’s words were like a bucket of cold water that was thrown straight down upon his head, sending chills to run through him which also caused him to completely awaken to his senses.
That’s right, if he had died, who besides his little sister would grief for him?
Wasn’t the one he cared about the most, this very little sister of his?
With his death, it would only mean that he would have pushed his own little sister over into the abyss…..
Yue Yi’s heart that had been seeking to die all this time was suddenly awoken by the cold bucket of water Jun Wu had splashed over him, forcing him to have no choice but to think deeper about it.
“I apologise. I have been too thick.” Yue Yi apologized sincerely. He should not allow societal norms dictate how he lived his own life, and put his own little sister into danger.
“There is no need for you to apologize to me. I’m helping you because we are allies, and I need to use your hand to bring ruin upon the Shadow Moon Palace. You want to save your sister, and I seek the destruction of the Shadow Moon Palace. That’s all it is.” Jun Wu Xie said indifferently.
Yue Yi was however still looking at Jun Wu gratefully. No one had ever said words like this to him before. He might be thick in the head, but he was clear in thought. He knew that there was no need for Jun Wu to say all these to him, as as long as he was still alive, he would have helped Jun Wu all the same, but Jun Wu had still chosen to say those words to him.
That kindness, was well concealed under Jun Wu’s cold indifferent personality, but it made Yue Yi feel unbelievably warm inside.
At that moment, Yue Yi was filled with curiosity towards Jun Wu. He could not understand why Zi Jin would misunderstand the kindness Jun Wu had shown. He did not believe for a moment that Zhuge Yin would let him off for no reason. Zi Jin had said it herself. It was with Jun Wu’s arrival that caused Zhuge Yin to show an obvious shift in his attitude, and although Yue Yi did not know what Jun Wu had actually said, but he was absolutely certain that his life had been saved by Jun Wu!
“Two days at most, and you will be able to come down from the bed to walk. Do not exert any spirit power for now.” Jun Wu Xie then turned the subject back, her face not showing much of an expression from beginning to end.
Jun Wu Yao just stood silently at the side, to look at the bashful way his little one was showing kindness, finding it rather interesting to watch.
Jun Wu Xie’s way of doing things was highly different from others. Her kindness if bestowed upon people who were not intelligent would often end up being misunderstood and even if she helped people, her face always still showed that same “go by the book” expression. It was not known whether it was because she wasn’t able to express herself, or she was being too shy to accept people’s gratitude.
Till this day, everytime Jun Wu Yao observed Jun Wu Xie’s way of doing things, he still found it highly interesting.
His little one, was indeed a lass that was truly one of a kind in the world.
Motivated to live on, Yue Yi became highly cooperative with Jun Wu’s treatment.
On the other side, Zi Jin went with the thoughts in her mind in a chaotic whirl to the Pure Grace Palace’s kitchen to ask for some plain porridge and little side dishes that were easily digestible. She carried them as she made her way towards
Yue Yi’s room, and along the way, her heart was still a dreadful mess. She did not know why she had said all those words to Yue Yi. Yue Yi was Jun Wu’s ally and was not from the Spirit Jade Palace. So she had no right to mouth off when it was Yue Yi’s own affairs. But for some unknown reason, those words had just come out from her mouth then.
Right at that moment, there was a sense of regret in Zi Jin’s heart, and subtly conflicted.
Walking on her way, Zi Jin’s mind was filled with thoughts of what happened and did not pay attention to the path. She was walking along absorbed in thoughts when she suddenly knocked into something. In a panic, the tray of porridge and dishes fell with a crash onto the floor.
“Damn it! Don’t you have eyes! ?” A voice roared suddenly.
The moment Zi Jin heard that voice, her body stiffened immediately. She quickly raised her head to look up and was shocked to discover that she had bumped into no one else but the very same Zhuge Yin who had almost killed Yue Yi yesterday!
In the next instant, Zi Jin’s heart flew up and lodged at the back of her throat.
Volume 18
Chapter 1723: “Encountering a Nasty Dog (1)”
Because of all the turmoil that Jun Wu Xie’s words had brought on, Zhuge Yin had been thoroughly frustrated for a whole night and had not been able to sleep well. All the people from the other places he had encountered since he came out from his room this morning had all been whispering and pointing at him, which just caused Zhuge Yin’s mood that was already highly jittery to heighten to the verge of an explosive rage. It was only through much struggle where fellow disciples from the same palace had invited him that he agreed to go take a walk in the gardens to improve his mood when in the end, having barely just come to the garden for a short while and he was chatting with the others, he was knocked straight into by someone.
