206 Wager 2 (1/2)

”What do you mean?” Mo Qian Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

”I am keeping the Soul Jade at all costs, and will not release it to anyone. Aren't you thinking that I want to kill them all off for no good reason and am being vicious and brutal? Then let's see what the Qing Yun Clan will do when we refuse to hand over the Soul Jade when they know it is in our hands?” Jun Wu Xie had wanted to have an upper hand in dealing the first strike but had now changed her mind.

Not for any other reason, other than forging the dull shield that was Mo Qian Yuan, into a sharper shield.

His lukewarm temperament, needs a little stoking.

The Jun Family will in the future face other enemies and problems, and Jun Wu Xie did not want to be faced with having to deal with Mo Qian Yuan's benevolent heart all the time. To prevent future recurring nightmares, she chose to put Mo QIan Yuan through the mill.

Once he saw the cruelty and viciousness of the enemy, he would understand, a benevolent heart will only kill him.

”Tell the Qing Yun Clan tomorrow that the Jun Family's half of the Soul Jade had been buried with our elders in the family and hope that they can give up on their quest.” As to what their reaction would be, would be beyond her control.

Mo Qian Yuan's eyes showed a mixture of emotions. He had not expected Jun Wu Xie to give in to the Qing Yun Clan in the first place, and he somehow felt, that her intentions were not as simple as what he was told.

”Alright, I'll give it a try.” Mo Qian Yuan sighed.

Jiang Chen Qing was not an easy person to deal with, but Qin Yu Yan looked like a very understanding person.

While they talked, the guards brought the Soul Jade and presented it to Mo Qian Yuan who handed it over to Jun Wu Xie.

The other half of the Soul Calming Jade laid within a brocade box, and after Jun Wu Xie inspected it, she closed the cover and kept it securely.
