1837 Are You Still Short of Disciples 4 (1/2)

Jun Wu Xie was a little taken aback as she saw how nervous Yue Ye was. The nervousness this time was anxiety that really stemmed from Yue Ye's heart.

”I….. I might not know much at all but I will learn with all my heart. I know that I am completely useless now and will not be of any help to you,but….. I swear, I will be a good disciple. Can you teach me?” Yue Ye bit down on her lip a little reservedly after saying that. She was afterall a little girl that was just twelve years old and even if she was trying to put on a strong front, she was still a child who hasn't yet grown up at heart.

She was able put up a false front before Elder Yue, pretend before the Shadow Moon Palace, and even act in front of her elder brother but….. at that very moment, she was just a bumbling and ignorant little girl, who could even be said to be a feeling a little inferior.

”I know that you might even despise me, though I am….. rather wretched, but….. I beg you…..” Yue Ye was feeling helplessly anxious. Help that was available to her was just too rare and in a place like the Shadow Moon Palace where people devoured each other, Yue Ye had clutched on to this last straw of hope and spared no effort to learn everything she could but it had still been far from enough. She merely sought to escape from this place, and live a peaceful life with Yue Yi. She just wanted to be able to live.

Jun Wu Xie stared at the desperate plea in Yue Ye's eyes, a kind of struggle and yearning that would only show when one had no other way out.

Finally, Jun Wu Xie opened her mouth.

”Alright.”

”Really? Thank you! Thank you!” The nervousness on Yue Ye's face melted away at that moment. She was rather flustered but the delight she felt in her heart could not be any clearer.

”I….. I know….. I know it…..” Yue Ye suddenly stood up, her legs feeling rather numb and she nearly fell over. But she ignored all of that and went on ahead to open her stride to run towards her room.

Jun Wu Xie stood up slowly, and looked on at the back of Yue Ye's hurrying little figure. For just one moment, she seemed to see herself in the past.

In the midst of hopelessness, yearning for that one sliver of light.

Without knowing why, Jun Wu Xie had seen a shadow of herself in the past and that demon who had been pegged with the title of ”Grandfather”, had controlled their lives, keeping them trapped in hopelessness.

Just awhile after, Yue Ye came running out in a hurry, a cup of tea in her hands. In a rush, she ran over to come in front of Jun Wu Xie and fell straight to her knees with a thud onto the ground. She then raised up her hands holding the cup of tea that had already turned cold and raised her head, her bright eyes staring unwaveringly at Jun Wu Xie.
