“Meow?”
[Could this thing be something that that old fart Elder Yue forced the little imp to bring here?]
Jun Wu Xie shook her head.
“I think there is a need for me to have a good little chat with Yue Yi’s little sister.” Upon saying that, Jun Wu Xie picked up the fragrance sachet and slipped it into her sleeve.
Volume 19
Chapter 1819: “Grace and Grudge Distinctly Separated (3)”
Looking at Jun Wu Xie’s highly eager and excited expression, the little black cat suddenly had a strange feeling.
[Why was it feeling…..]
[That its Mistress’ range of emotions were becoming more and more normal?]
It was somehow feeling that its Mistress was going to tease the little imp…..
[It must have gone mad.]
After Yue Ye gave the item to Jun Wu Xie, she returned back to her room, thinking that in just a few days, someone would obediently be lying in bed.
But…..
“The threads on the fragrance satchel you gave me came undone.” A cold voice suddenly sounded behind Yue Ye’s back.
Stretched out on her stomach on her bed and thinking to herself, Yue Ye jumped right out of bed with a swoosh, her eyes wide and mouth agape as she stared at Jun Wu Xie who had appeared in her room out of the blue.
“You….. You…..” Yue Ye stretched out a trembling hand, pointing at Jun Wu Xie, her eyes bulging.
Jun Wu Xie completely disregarded Yue Ye’s stunned expression and just went on to put the sachet on the table at the side. As she placed it down upon the table, one side of the fragrance sachet that was picked open had some lily petals fall out in a scatter, and what came tumbling out together, were a few rice grain sized unidentified objects.
Yue Ye stared at those unidentified objects, her eyes fixed unwaveringly on them.
“Smelling these herbs for too long would caused one to feel weak in the limbs, rendering them unable to move normally. It is not something that someone of such a young age should be playing with so casually.” Jun Wu Xie rested her chin in an upturned palm, gazing completely calm and unruffled at the stunned Yue Ye. These little pills were rather well made but judging from the quantity placed in there, it was still a little too much.
The elixir that Jun Wu Xie gave to Yue Yi, would make Yue Yi look frail on the surface, but his body would still remain in peak form. But from his pulse and the pallor of his face, he would be seen as a severely injured person but other than that, his entire person would be filled with vigor and healthy.
But the drugs in this fragrance sachet contained a little bit more and under the pretence, it would really cause people to feel a little unwell. Although it would not harm the person in the slightest, but the feeling would be present.
“What are you saying? What herbs?” It was a long while before Yue Ye snapped back to her senses. She looked at Jun Wu Xie with a look of bewilderment, her little face filled with doubt and incomprehension.
If Jun Wu Xie had not previously seen Yue Ye putting some pills into the teapot, just by looking at the expression Yue Ye was showing her now, she might really just believe her words.
A pity…..
The little fox’s tail had already been exposed.
“Mixing in herbs planted among the flowers and plants in the flowerbeds is not a bad idea at all. But I think if physicians who understands Medicine were to walk one round in your yard, they might reap unexpected returns. For example…..” Jun Wu Xie looked at Yue Ye’s little face feigning innocence and said in a measured pace: “Those herbs that are able to make a Silver Spirit gradually deteriorate and fall into decline.”
Jun Wu Xie’s words made Yue Ye’s heart jump violently, and a crack appeared in the facade of ignorance on her face, as her eyes flashed with a trace of nervousness she was unable to conceal.
“To drug the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, you really are rather bold and daring.” Jun Wu Xie said as she looked at Yue Ye highly calmly.
Back at that time when she had been led by those rascals from the Shadow Moon Palace to come to Yue Ye’s little courtyard, she had already felt that it was a little odd. The plants and flowers planted within the yard were rather strange and if it was said that Yue Ye had casually planted those herbs without knowing anything about them, it might still be believable. But the caring of those kinds of herb plants required harsh conditions to be met and if they were not properly and carefully tended to, it was not possible for them to grow and thrive at all.
Volume 19
Chapter 1820: “Grace and Grudge Distinctly Separated (4)”
But those herbs in Yue Ye’s flowerbeds were all growing strong and absolutely thriving!
Even if that was all by accident, it couldn’t possibly be all that coincidental.
The only possible conclusion, was that the person who planted those herbs had consciously known of them, and knew what kind of care they needed.
The expression on Yue Ye’s face changed in an instant. The green bumbling ignorance of a young little girl ceased to show in the slightest and in that pair of large eyes, enmity and wariness against Jun Wu Xie was clearly written in them.
“What are you thinking of doing? Do you know that by you saying these words, it may cause you to not be able to walk out from this place today?” Yue Ye’s voice suddenly turned cold. It was clearly just a young little girl merely twelve years of age, but the threat within her words could not be denied.
“Oh?” Jun Wu Xie arched up an eyebrow, not showing one bit of fear.
Yue Ye drew in a deep breath and said: “You must not forget. My Grandfather is Elder Yue in the Shadow Moon Palace and there are certain things that are not what you can stick your nose into. If you still value your life, then do not be such a busybody.”
“Has anyone told you that before a fox pretends to use the awe of the tiger’s, you must at least first practice the facial expression?” Jun Wu Xie suddenly said.
“What?” Yue Ye was taken aback in shock.
“If this matter really comes to be known by Elder Yue, I believe that the first person to die will definitely be you, and not me.” Jun Wu Xie opened her mouth to say slowly. Just that one sentence, and it caused the strong demeanor that Yue Ye had worked so hard to create to completely crumble.
“What kind of a nonsense are you spouting…..” Yue Ye gritted her teeth, fighting to maintain her facade of calm.
“If Elder Yue was really seeking to murder the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, he would not wait till now. He has countless other ways at his disposal to achieve it and will definitely not choose to use a poison with such low efficiency. Moreover….. when you were mentioning him just now, what was the hatred in your eyes for?” Jun Wu Xie said slowly.
Yue Ye’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at Jun Wu Xie, unable to believe that the youth who was not on familiar terms with her could see through her pretense so easily.
“What do you actually want?” Yue Ye gave up with a shrug of her shoulders. Not knowing why, she seemed to feel that being here before Jun Wu Xie, there was absolutely no secret to speak of at all.
Jun Wu Xie’s guess had been right. The one who poisoned the Shadow Moon Palace Lord was her, and in regards to the matter, Elder Yue knew nothing about it. She had thought to lean on Elder Yue’s authourity to coerce Jun Wu Xie, to make Jun Wu Xie not stick her nose into the matter. However…..
She had been mercilessly uncovered!
Jun Wu Xie was in no rush to speak, but just looked at that little fella who was trying so hard to hold herself back. At that moment, Yue Ye’s eyes seemed to light up with bright fiery flames, completely different from that helpless and timid person she had been able to pretend to be, and this, was then the real Yue Ye.
A twelve year old imp who was able to concoct poison that Jun Wu Xie deemed worthy of her attention.
“You want to kill the Shadow Moon Palace Lord?” Jun Wu Xie asked.
Yue Ye looked at Jun Wu Xie and suddenly lifted u
p her chin to say: “When you are asking to know someone’s secret, shouldn’t you first make a show of your sincerity?”
Jun Wu Xie lifted up an eyebrow.
Yue Ye leapt off from the bed and stood on the floor, neither servile nor aggressive as she stared at Jun Wu Xie to say: “You couldn’t possibly believe that I would really be so stupid to believe that you are Chang Huan right? I have met Chang Huan a few times before and I could tell just how useless that fella is with just one glance. How could an idiot completely without any brains possibly know to hide the light under a bushel, and come to possess a higher level of spirit power than my elder brother? You are not Chang Huan, and you would definitely have your own motives for coming to the Shadow Moon Palace. If you want to ask me questions, then use your objective in coming here to exchange for it!”
Volume 19
Chapter 1821: “Secretly Conspiring (1)”
“You are very intelligent.” Jun Wu Xie did not hide her admiration for Yue Ye.
At that age, and able to see things so clearly, Yue Ye was definitely smarter than what she was showing to people outside. Wasn’t the pretense she put up before everyone a form of self defense? It might be that even Yue Yi was not aware that his little sister was stronger than he had imagined.
“Thank you. But since you came all the way here to find me, it wouldn’t just be to praise me would it?” Yue Ye asked as she looked at Jun Wu Xie, not feeling the slightest complacent from the praise.
“To poison the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, was all your own idea?” Although Jun Wu Xie asked that, but she already knew the real answer in her heart.
“I’ve said it. If you seek to know more from my mouth, you need to bring out your sincerity.” At that moment, Yue Ye was completely unlike a twelve year old little girl. Her eyes were clear, and they were filled with a steadiness that would not belong to someone her age.
Jun Wu Xie shrugged her shoulders and said: “Sure. I am not Chang Huan, Chang Huan is already dead. I am impersonating him because I seek to destroy the Shadow Moon Palace. It’s just that simple.”
Yue Ye’s mouth fell slightly agape. It was feared that even she had not thought that Jun Wu Xie’s reply could really be so simply direct and brutal.
But seeking to destroy the Shadow Moon Palace, was it that simple? !
Even for Yue Ye, she had been shocked by the casual indifference in Jun Wu Xie’s words.
She crinkled up her little nose and looked at Jun Wu Xie gaugingly up and down.
“Destroy the Shadow Moon Palace? Just you alone? Aren’t you thinking too simply of the Shadow Moon Palace?” She could not deny that Jun Wu Xie was so much more outstanding than Chang Huan, but even if the Shadow Moon Palace’s might was not that powerful, but it was still one of the Twelve Palaces. If it could be so easily destroyed, it would not have remained in existence till now. Wasn’t Jun Wu Xie’s words taking it all a little too casually?
“Is it that difficult?” Jun Wu Xie asked, an eyebrow lifting up, her entire being exuding a highly shocking sense of calm and composure.
Yue Ye bit on her lip and the gaze she was looking at Jun Wu Xie with became rather complicated. It was only after a while that she then said: “The poison in the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s body was my doing…..”
It was just as Jun Wu Xie had guessed. The Shadow Moon Palace Lord had felt “unwell” was all due to Yue Ye’s “credit”. The Shadow Moon Palace Lord paid great attention on his own safety and even the Elders in the palace were not able to interfere with all the needs of his daily life. But Yue Ye was the only exception who would be occasionally summoned by the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, which gave her a very good opportunity to strike.
In truth, Yue Ye had been a lot more mature than the average child and starting from the time she started to understand things, she already knew what kind of a situation Yue Yi and her were in within the Shadow Moon Palace. She was even more acutely aware that her existence was a chip Elder Yue used to control Yue Yi and the one whom she addressed as Grandfather was never a kin to her, but a demonic monster.
She understood the various dangers she herself was in but the too young Yue Ye was unable to change all of it. Till one time by accident, she came upon an opportunity that she had never had before.
She began to learn about various things that had to do with poison, and started to plant the herbs she needed in her own little yard. Because she was always under Elder Yue’s sphere of control, it was not possible for her to obtain and kind of seeds that contained lethal poison. That was why she had come to make use of the properties of herbs that clashed and repelled against each other.
Yue Ye wanted to leave the Shadow Moon Palace together with Yue Yi, and everyone in the Shadow Moon Palace all became obstacles for them to escape from the demonic monster’s lair.
Elder Yue, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, and all the disciples…..
Volume 19
Chapter 1822: “Secretly Conspiring (2)”
Yue Ye had started to poison the Shadow Moon Palace Lord from a few years ago, to wreck and wear down his body bit by bit, waiting for that one day when the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s death came and the Shadow Moon Palace was in chaos, the two siblings would then be able to take the opportunity to escape for this demonic lair.
But the appearance of Jun Wu Xie had completely messed up Yue Ye’s plan. Seeing with her eyes that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s condition was actually gradually becoming better with the Melted Snow Elixir that Jun Wu Xie had presented and her own plans could possibly amount to nothing but wasted effort, Yue Ye could not sit back and do nothing.
And at that time, Elder Yue had also similarly been thrown into a frenzy with the appearance of Jun Wu Xie and had attempted to make use Yue Ye to frame Jun Wu Xie. Yue Ye had then gone with the flow and thought to poison Jun Wu Xie, which brought about the deaths of a whole pool of koi.
The intent to murder Jun Wu Xie had already risen in Yue Ye. She had worked painstakingly on it for so many years and seeing that her plan was about to succeed, how could she now be expected to give up on that only chance that she had?
But Yue Yi’s words had caused Yue Ye to hesitate.
Yue Ye had seen all the kinds of ugly truths hidden within the Shadow Moon Palace and except for her own elder brother, she trusted no one else.
And the only one person she cared about was also just Yue Yi.
Yue Yi had said that Jun Wu Xie was his benefactor who saved his life. That had caused Yue Ye to be conflicted for a quite a while before she gave up on the plan to murder Jun Wu Xie, and instead change it to putting in drugs in the fragrance sachet, to just temporarily deprive Jun Wu Xie of any chances of messing things up for her.
A pity…..
All her plans had been uncovered by Jun Wu Xie easily.
“It’s true that I had thought of killing you in the beginning, but you saved my brother’s life. My elder brother is the only person I care about in this world and since you saved his life, that would then mean I owe you a life.” Yue Ye said as she looked at Jun Wu Xie seriously.
Jun Wu Xie knew Yue Ye was not joking. Her understanding of Medicine allowed Jun Wu Xie to realize the kind of gift Yue Ye possessed towards poison and Yue Ye was still so young. If in the future, she is given enough time, the poisons that she would be able to create would definitely astound the world.
One who could patiently endure it for so many years in the Shadow Moon Palace and was even able to secretly slowly assassinate the Shadow Moon Palace Lord at such a young age, Yue Ye’s abilities definitely surpassed every one of her peers.
If Yue Ye was not faced with Jun Wu Xie this time, it was highly probable that she would have already succeeded.
“Our objectives are the same. You want to destroy the Shadow Moon Palace and I want freedom. If it’s possible, we can also work together. I am thinking, that this is the reason you are here to see me for right? Afterall, seeking to destroy the Shadow Moon Palace would be fastest if you strike directly at the
Palace Lord, and I am your most suitable candidate.” Yue Ye slowly revealed her plans as she spoke, not because she was naively trusting others so easily, but because Yue Ye had already realized that Jun Wu Xie had guessed everything in her heart, or she would not have come right here knocking on her door.
Jun Wu Xie’s arrival, already showed Yue Ye that she no longer had much in the way of secrets before Jun Wu Xie.
As someone who was able to neutralize her poison, Jun Wu Xie’s abilities could not be doubted. If she continued to try any tricks at this point, Yue Ye knew that the one on the losing end would surely be her.
“I like to work with intelligent people.” Jun Wu Xie was highly satisfied with Yue Ye’s performance, and it could be said that Yue Ye’s intelligence was higher than most people. She had spoken honestly on many things, but had at the same time withheld a part as secret.
Like her knowledge in poison for example, from where it had come from was not mentioned by Yue Ye at all.
But Jun Wu Xie did not mind it.
She had gotten what she came here for.
There was one point about what Yue Ye did that Jun Wu Xie greatly admired. And that was she kept grudges and grace distinctly separated. From Yue Ye’s point of view, Jun Wu Xie was a tiger who stood in the way of her plans, but because of what Yue Yi said, she then decided to change her plan.
Volume 19
Chapter 1823: “Secretly Conspiring (3)”
Still holding a shred of conscience, truly rare and hard to come by.
Despite the fact that she was still so young, and was growing up in such a harsh environment, Yue Ye was still keeping strictly to her own bottomline, which was a point that Jun Wu Xie greatly admired.
“Even if you praise me, but certain things that have to be made clear must still be clearly spelt out. I can accomodate my actions to your plans but that has to be after I am made aware of the entire process. And regardless whether you are seeking to destroy the Shadow Moon Palace or to kill someone, you must not drag my elder brother into it, or there is no need to even start any form of cooperation between us.” Yue Ye said as she drew in a deep breath. Jun Wu Xie’s demeanor was highly indifferent and that made it difficult for Yue Ye to grasp what Jun Wu Xie was thinking. Even when Jun Wu Xie had already clearly stated her personal agenda, but from what Yue Ye could see, where Jun Wu Xie had originated from and what she was going to do was unclear to everyone.
