She could give it her all, but no harm must come to Yue Yi.
“Alright.” Jun Wu Xie nodded.
Yue Ye then breathed out in relief.
“Then, what do you need me to do?” Yue Ye breathed in deeply to ask as she looked at Jun Wu Xie. In truth, this face she was showing, was only seen by Jun Wu Xie alone. Before everyone else, she had always been that timid and shy Yue Ye.
“Elder Yue wanted to use you against me?” Jun Wu Xie asked with an eyebrow lifted up. If she recalled it correctly, in Elder Yue’s mind, Yue Ye was merely a cowardly and bashful little girl.
Yue Ye nodded.
“How?” Jun Wu Xie continued to ask.
Yue Ye continued to look at Jun Wu Xie and her gaze then slowly fell to the floor, her little face tinged with a slight paleness. She was silent for quite awhile before she slowly opened her tiny mouth, but her gaze did not shift from the ground before her.
“I am the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s plaything.”
Jun Wu Xie was slightly taken aback.
“Mm, it can be put in this way. The Shadow Moon Palace Lord has the same kind of urges like Elder Yue. The only difference is that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord only likes young little girls while Elder Yue is a little less inhibited. After Elder Yue came to know of the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s preferences, he put my elder brother behind closed door cultivation and he brought me to go see the Shadow Moon Palace Lord. But as the Shadow Moon Palace Lord encountered some problems while practising cultivation at that time, he was feeling rather unwell, and hence he could only let his hands roam a little…..”
Yue Ye voice was soft, and rather monotonous. There was no hatred no aggrievement, so calm that it sounded like she was describing something that had happened to someone else.
Elder Yue’s intentions were clear, and the Shadow Moon Palace Lord liked Yue Ye very well. The little courtyard that Yue Ye was living in now had been privately arranged for by the Shadow Moon Palace Lord and it could be said that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord treated Yue Ye like he was grooming her to become a girl that he wished for her to become, and was just waiting for himself to recover before he would enjoy this highly delicious fruit.
In the Shadow Moon Palace, absolutely no one dared to go provoke Yue Ye, especially all the male disciples.
As the one that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had his eye set upon, her chastity must be ensured.
And Elder Yue had wanted to make use of Yue Ye, to accuse Jun Wu Xie of taking liberties of her. Yue Ye would only need to speak out, and the Shadow Moon Palace Lord would definitely fly into a rage, and even if Jun Wu Xie had won credit for presenting up the Melted Snow Elixir, it would not be enough to negate such a grave mistake.
Even if the Shadow Moon Palace Lord did not take Jun Wu Xie’s life, he would no longer look upon Jun Wu Xie with favour.
With that, Elder Yue would have achieved his aim of suppressing Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie listened quietly till the end, and Yue Ye did not once lift her head throughout. It was only after she finished speaking that she raised her little face up, the clean and clear face emotionless, showing a steadiness that completely did not match her age at all.

Chapter 1824: “Secretly Conspiring (4)”
“But I was thinking at that time if I were to just kill you off, Elder Yue would surely be happier and I would be able to rid myself of a problem.” Yue Ye said, her eyes blinking at Jun Wu Xie, like she was completely unaware of just how vicious the words that had come out of her mouth had been.
Jun Wu Xie did not mind it in the slightest.
“I am thinking, that I should prepare a gift in return for Elder Yue.” Jun Wu Xie said with her eyes narrowed. To deal with her, Elder Yue had really gone out of the way to wreck his brains. If Yue Ye had really done that, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s rage could very well be imagined. Punishing Jun Wu Xie would naturally be a given, but the matter would definitely also implicate Yue Ye and it was no guarantee that Yue Ye would not have to suffer for it as well.
Elder Yue had presented Yue Ye up to the Shadow Moon Palace Lord all because he wanted to plant a pawn by the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s side.
But in order to deal with her, Elder Yue had not hesitated to even make use of his pawn, Yue Ye.
It could be well imagined, just how much hatred he harboured against Jun Wu Xie, and he just couldn’t to get rid of her.
“What do you want to do?” Yue Ye asked Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie curled up the ends of her mouth and beckoned at Yue Ye.
Yue Ye went walking over.
Jun Wu Xie whispered softly beside Yue Ye’s ear and the expression on Yue Ye’s face went from doubtful to surprise.
“You’re sure?” Yue Ye asked, looking at Jun Wu Xie. She had thought that she was already rather maniacal herself, and she had not expected that she would come to meet someone who was more of a lunatic than she was!
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head. She had already explained things rather adequately and she then stood up.
“Everything can be carried out based on what we’ve already discussed and you will only need to be responsible for your own tasks. As for the parts that I need to do, I will deal with them properly.”
“Alright.” Yue Ye answered simply.
Jun Wu Xie turned around and walked out from Yue Ye’s room, and she left the fragrance sachet she brought here behind on the table in Yue Ye’s room.
It was until Jun Wu Xie had left, that Yue Ye came walking to the side of the table and picked up the fragrance sachet that had been picked open. She carefully picked out the tiny pills the size of rice grains and put them safely in a bottle before she used a needle and thread to sew up the opening on the fragrance sachet once again.
Her hand clasping the sewed up fragrance sachet, Yue Ye’s brows creased up slightly together.
She had tried very hard to appear calm earlier, but only she herself knew that her hands that had been hidden within her sleeves had been all covered in sweat.
Towards her abilities in poisons, Yue Ye was highly confident, or it would have been possible that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord to be poisoned for so many years without her being discovered by anyone.
But she had struck at Jun Wu Xie twice and she had not once succeeded. She had been seen through by Jun Wu Xie in the shortest period of time and Yue Ye was almost certain that before Jun Wu Xie came to look for her, Jun Wu Xie had already guessed a large part of the truth.
This was the smartest person Yue Ye had ever encountered in her life and she looked to be a serene and tranquil person but possessed a pair of eyes that could see right into people’s hearts.
Dealing with people like that, was highly strenuous for her.
No matter how intelligent Yue Ye was, she was afterall still a little fella who was merely twelve year old, caught within the demonic lair that was the Shadow Moon Palace, forced to quickly grow up that made her know more things than her other peers, but all that was still not enough for her to be pitted against Jun Wu Xie.
It was only till that moment that Yue Ye finally regained her senses. She had told Jun Wu Xie a lot, almost coming completely clean with everything about herself.
But from Jun Wu Xie’s mouth, the only she got was Jun Wu Xie’s objective in coming to the Shadow Moon Palace.
Besides that…..
There was absolutely nothing.
“Why do I seem to feel like I’ve been had?” Yue Ye said gloomily, as she wrinkled her nose.
Volume 19
Chapter 1825: “Flagrant Framing (1)”
Truth to be told…..
Yue Ye had indeed been defrauded by Jun Wu Xie.
Not to mention having muddlely come clean on everything about herself, at the end of it all what she got in exchange from Jun Wu Xie was just useless information.
Even if Jun Wu Xie had not said it, Yue Ye would have guessed on her own that Jun Wu Xie’s objectives were against the Shadow Moon Palace.
/> Always having prided herself as smarter than others, Yue Ye was for once made to look stupid, being led the entire time by Jun Wu Xie to say things that she both should and shouldn’t have said.
It must be said…..
For these two young girls who had similarly matured early, Jun Wu Xie still firmly surpassed Yue Ye by a stretch.
Of course, Yue Ye was also the only one person, who after having made an attempt on Jun Wu Xie’s life, got discovered, and was not toyed to death by Jun Wu Xie, but had instead become Jun Wu Xie’s ally.
Speaking from another perspective, Yue Ye could be considered to be very lucky.
After Jun Wu Xie walked out from Yue Ye’s little courtyard, she went back to her room.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye and Elder Yue frequently came in and out from Yue Ye’s little courtyard, while assigning several tasks to Yue Yi at the same time, to not give Yue Yi any spare time to go see Yue Ye.
One day in the evening, the light of dusk spilled across the land as Yue Ye slowly came to Jun Wu Xie’s little courtyard.
Jun Wu Xie raised her head and looked at the little girl bathed within the dusk’s golden light, and she put down the book she had been flipping through.
“Senior Chang Huan, can I come in and have a seat?” Yue Ye asked as she blinked her eyes while looking at Jun Wu Xie, her tone of voice highly innocent but that pair of large eyes on her face were almost unnoticeably glancing behind her, at the entrance of the courtyard.
Jun Wu Xie noticed that brief instant of a signal from Yue Ye and slowly lowered her eyes as she said indifferently: “You may.”
Yue Ye’s face carried a timid smile as she walked towards Jun Wu Xie, and then sat down just beside her.
“Senior Chang Huan, I heard that when you were at the Pure Grace Palace, you took great care of my Big Brother and I had not had the opportunity to thank you all this while. It just happened that I brought some little snacks from the kitchen over here and if Senior Chang Huan does not mind them, then please have some.” While saying that, Yue Ye put the box of snacks she was carrying in her hands down on the table, her face nervous as she looked at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie opened the box and reached her hand out for a piece. Before she had even put it in her mouth, Yue Ye who was seated beside her suddenly screamed out.
“Senior Chang Huan! What do you think you are doing?”
Yue Ye’s face had changed drastically as she just stood up from the stone bench on her own, ignoring Jun Wu Xie completely as she reached her hand out to pull and tear at the clothes upon her own body.
With a loud split, Yue Ye’s sleeve was forcefully torn off by herself.
Jun Wu Xie watched everything that was happening before her calmly, without the slightest ripple of emotion in her eyes.
Yue Ye’s voice was pitiful and highly flustered, and if one did not see what was happening within the courtyard but just heard that scream, anyone would immediately assume that she had met with a mishap.
Accompanying Yue Ye’s pitiful cry, several men dressed in the Shadow Moon Palace’s uniform suddenly came rushing in!
“Save me!” Yue Ye wailed as she ran away from beside Jun Wu Xie, crystalline tears flowing down her clear little face, the little figure trembling slightly like she had just suffered aggrievement as vast as the Heavens, sobbing like a pear blossom in rain as she hid behind the intruders.
“Chang Huan! How brazenly bold of you! You actually dared to take liberties against Yue Ye!” The leader of the group of Shadow Moon Palace disciples shouted as he glared at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie was calm as she watched all of this, her gaze then falling upon Yue Ye hidden behind the group of people.
It must be said, that Yue Ye’s acting was truly exquisite.
Just seeing the way she looked, she was truly highly pitiful.

Chapter 1826: “Flagrant Framing (2)”
Jun Wu Xie was calm as she watched all of this, her gaze then falling upon Yue Ye hidden behind the group of people.
It must be said, that Yue Ye’s acting was truly exquisite.
Just seeing the way she looked, she was truly highly pitiful.
The several Shadow Moon disciples did not wait for an explanation before they surrounded Jun Wu Xie heavily. From the start to end, there wasn’t much of an expression on Jun Wu Xie’s face, but she just watched the whole clumsy display of a set up with a cold gaze.
There was not a single semblance of technique to speak of at all but just carried with flagrantly impunity.
“Chang Huan.” An old sounding voice suddenly sounded, and Elder Yue came walking in slowly through the entrance to the courtyard. Staring at Jun Wu Xie who was well surrounded, the venom in his eyes was completely undisguised.
“Tell me, why are you always up to no good? When you wounded those disciples in the palace before, the Palace Lord forgave you for it. When you broke out from the dungeon, the Palace Lord had also forgiven you for that. But now you have actually committed such a nefarious deed, bankrupt of all moral decency. It seems that your abominable nature would not change and I would really like to see whether the Palace Lord will continue to forgive you in this matter.” Elder Yue said with the edges of his mouth curled up, looking at Jun Wu Xie wickedly. He did not believe that Jun Wu Xie would still be able to escape unscathed in this round.
In order to frame Jun Wu Xie, he had even implicated Yue Ye into it. Having paid such a high price, all just to break off this wing of Elder Ying’s.
Once Jun Wu Xie was crushed, then Elder Ying would definitely be dragged into it, and along with that, his status and position in the Shadow Moon Palace would be completely toppled. Never would he then have the chance to climb back up.
With this step, Elder Yue was highly confident. He did not believe that Jun Wu Xie could possibly still turn things around.
“I would now like to see if you still have anything to say for yourself.” Elder Yue sneered.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Elder Yue looking triumphant with glee, while she remained uncannily composed.
“You are that confident?” Jun Wu Xie said slowly.
“It’s not that I’m confident, but it’s just that you have been repeatedly courting death. Yue Ye is so innocent and pure, how could she possibly lie? Look at how pitiful she looks, anyone seeing that will feel anguished. Moreover, so many of us here saw you committing the deed, could this many of us here all be wrong?” Elder Yue said unperturbed, the glee in his tone of voice undisguised.
This time, he came here with utmost confidence that he would be able to push Jun Wu Xie over into the abyss, and no matter how articulate Jun Wu Xie was, there was no way of arguing her way out of this.
Yue Ye was still so young, and was highly timid, which the Shadow Moon Palace Lord knew very well. No one would ever believe that Yue Ye could possibly frame anyone.
“Alright then.” Jun Wu Xie stood up.
The disciples surrounding her immediately retreated a few steps. Even though their objective today was clear, but Jun Wu Xie’s powers still made them rather fearful.
“I’ll go with you to see the Palace Lord.” Since Elder Yue wanted to play so badly, then she would play with him good and proper.
Only wishing that he had better not regret it.
Elder Yue saw Jun Wu Xie’s reaction with satisfaction, his head lifted slightly.
“Then shall we go? There is no need for you to drag it out any longer. Elder Ying has been sent out of the palace on an inspection by the Palace Lord, and he will not be returning for quite a while. No one will be able to save you.” Elder Yue said with a laugh.
Upon saying that, Elder Yue turned himself around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and before he left, he pulled the still sobbing Yue Ye along with him.
Yue Ye was dragged along by Elder Yue to leave. She turned her head to look at Jun Wu Xie as she continued to sob, and in those large eyes that were brimming with tears, a peculiar glint flashe
d briefly, but was quickly concealed by Yue Ye.
Jun Wu Xie walked out of her own courtyard while being watched and escorted by a bunch of the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s disciples, following behind Elder Yue as they made their way towards the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s main palace hall.
What kind of a show would be waiting for her there?
She would just wait and see.
Volume 19
Chapter 1827: “Flagrant Framing (3)”
In the Shadow Moon Palace’s main hall, the Shadow Moon Place Lord was glowing radiantly as he sat in the ruling seat. As his health had gradually turned for the better, it allowed the Shadow Moon Palace Lord who had been dispirited for so long seem to feel like he had regained back his condition from a few years back and his body no longer felt so lethargic.
No Palace Lord would refuse such a perfect condition of health and he wished for nothing more than to grasp at this period of time, and pick up all the pieces he had neglected these past few years.
Over the past few days, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had been in good spirits and he had been smiling a lot more as well.
But someone just had to come disturb the great spirits that had been so hard to come by.
Currently perusing the reports of the Shadow Moon Palace, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord suddenly heard someone announcing an arrival and he raised up his head to look at the person who made the announcement.
