1833 Retaliation 4 (1/2)
”My Lord, this…..” Elder Yue was becoming rather flustered. The Shadow Moon Palace Lord's response was causing a sense of unease to surge up inside him.
Today's plan had clearly been to have Jun Wu Xie dealt with but the Palace Lord had not only let Jun Wu Xie go back safe and sound but had snatched the custody of Yue Ye away from him. What did this mean with everything that was happening?
Elder Yue was not a complete idiot and he was certain that the words Yue Ye had told the Shadow Moon Palace Lord was definitely not what he had instructed her to say before.
[Why did it turn out like this?]
[Where had he gone wrong?]
Elder Yue wanted to ask Yue Ye what she had actually said but the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's eyes were fixed glaringly upon him, completely not allowing him the slightest chance to come into any form of contact with Yue Ye. The Shadow Moon Palace Lord's decision had completely severed all ties between Elder Yue and Yue Ye and no matter how much Elder Yue wanted to get some answers from Yue Ye, it was no longer possible.
”Elder Yue. Are you feeling dissatisfied in any way towards my decision?” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord's voice turned chillier a notch.
Elder Yue was suddenly taken aback and based on how well he knew the Shadow Moon Palace Lord, he could already hear the note of impatience in the Palace Lord's words.
With that, Elder Yue really almost wanted to vomit out blood. Not only had he failed to bring down Jun Wu Xie with today's events, he had somehow also been inexplicably dragged in himself to become implicated. From what he had seen of the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's words and expressions, Yue Ye must have said something not advantageous to him which had caused the Shadow Moon Palace Lord to come to feel displeased with him.
”Your subordinate does not dare. The fact that Yue Ye has been able to gain my Lord's acknowledgement is your subordinate's honour.” Elder Yue forcibly pushed back the strong urge to vomit out blood as he lowered down his head, his face gone pale, to retreat out from the palace hall wretchedly.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord watched Elder Yue depart with a cold gaze till Elder Yue's back view had disappeared from his sight completely before he turned his head as the harsh and cold expression on his face then softened, to be replaced by gentleness. He looked smilingly at Yue Ye standing beside him and he reached his hand out to clasp it over Yue Ye's icy cold hand.
