As it was common knowledge that development of veins and arteries stop once they turn into adults, they did not for a moment think it was due to their food and medicine that changed that, and gave them such astonishing results from their daily training.
This was just….. Unbelievable.
“Wu Xie, what we have been eating….. really….. “ Jun QIng was at a loss for words. He had not noticed, but as Jun Wu Xie had pointed out, he realised his veins and arteries were much stronger.
Jun Wu Xie was telling the truth!
“The Rui Lin Army is too big, so I can only manage to give them pills.” Jun Wu Xie would have liked to feed them medicinal meals as well, it would have been less harsh to their bodies, but for a hundred thousand….. , they couldn’t afford it even if they sold the entire Lin Palace.
“………. “ Jun Xian felt his heart beating faster.
“These pills are really what you claim them to be?” Jun Qing asked, his eyes lit aflame with fervour, not many things can move this father and son to such an extend!
Jun Wu Xie nodded.
They both exchanged troubled glances.
“Wu Xie, your master taught you this?” Jun Xian asked sternly.
“Yes.”
“Your teacher has exceptional medical knowledge, the things you have learnt are unheard of, and the Jun Family owes him a great debt of gratitude. But if news of this were to leak, it will stir up quite a storm. The Lin Palace might be able to hold his own in the State of Qi, but if the news spread beyond, not just the people of Qi, the other kingdoms will not sit idly by.” Jun Xian was unusually stern, Jun Wu Xie’s skill and knowledge was both a blessing and a curse.
Qing Yun Clan won its reputation throughout the kingdoms, not with might, but with medicine. They had the best doctors, the best pharmacists, under the skies. Even the mightiest of powers, pay some form of deference to Qing Yun Clan, for their well known prowess in medicine.
What Jun Wu Xie has been producing , was far beyond the capabilities of the Qing Yun Clan. Just like this fortification medicine, that develops the veins and arteries of adults, were simply unheard of.
All this while, it was known the window to develop veins and arteries was such. Everyone strengthened and developed their veins and arteries before adulthood, and had no choice but trained slowly and fixedly after turning adult.
If it was known, there existed a pill, that allowed adults to develop their veins and arteries, it will surely be earth shattering!
If it was leaked, the lands will be in upheaval, Lin Palace might be strong within Qi, but if it attracted the eye of other kingdoms and powers, even they might be unable to protect Jun Wu Xie.

Chapter 104: “Peerless Medicine (3)”
Despite the might of Lin Palace, they cannot match up to Qing Yun Clan. This medicine of Jun Wu Xie’s, was a double edged sword!
“Besides your master, does anyone else know you can produce this medicine?” Jun Xian asked gravely.
Jun Wu Xie, looked at the three men in the room, answering wordlessly.
“Long Qi! “ Jun Qing exclaimed.
Long Qi abruptly kneeled on one knee, “Your subordinate has neither seen or heard anything today.” A single bead of perspiration ran down the side of his face. The Missy might not have realised, that with the medicine left outside, the kind of commotion it could cause.
“You have been with us from young, I trust you. Remember, bring whatever you heard in this room today to your grave, and not a single word about it is to be uttered, or it will spell the doom of the Jun Family!”
“Yes, I understand.”
Jun Wu Xie was puzzled at the caution the three men are showing to the matter.
This medicine….. Was it such a big deal?
She has plans for medicine with effects more heavenly defying, but was not possible due to insufficient herbs. Why is Uncle and Grandfather so serious about these measly pills?
“Wu Xie, your master must be mighty and mysterious, to be unworried about medical prowess like his being known. As for you, Grandfather knows, you have the interests of Lin Palace at heart, but your knowledge to produce these pills must be kept secret. The recipe, must not be made known to other than you and your master, do you understand?” Jun Xian spoke in rare seriousness to Jun Wu Xie.
“Wu Xie understands.” Although bewildered at the anxiety of both father and son, Jun Wu Xie readily agreed.
“As for those pills, are we sending them to the barracks?” Jun Qing asked, brows creased.
“Yes, send them. I believe not a single soldier in the Rui Lin Army will betray the Jun Family even when faced with death.” Jun Xian had absolute trust in the Rui Lin Army, and turning to Long Qi, “I shall leave it in your hands. Do not tell the Rui Lin Army anything about the medicine, and just to eat them as prescribed. Tell them to not question nor discuss any effects the medicine might bring. Not a single word to any outside the Rui Lin Army, and to forget they ever took any medicine at all.”
“Rest assured, Your Highness! Your orders shall be carried out.” Long Qi vowed, his heart burning with fervor. Raising his eyes, his keen sight locked on the profile of Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie, shall become the leader whom the Rui Lin Army will die for, and that will not change!
Due to the significance of the cargo, Jun Xian ordered the majority of the guards at Lin Palace as escort with Long Qi. The carriages filled with crates of pills left the Imperial City after dark, with none the wiser, the nondescript horse carriages were carrying, pills that can cause vast upheaval throughout the lands!
That night, was the night the Rui Lin Army was transformed.
Deep into the night, the Jun Family of three chatted under candlelight, Jun Wu Xie just listening quietly most of the time.
“Wu Xie, if you are sleepy, just go rest.” Jun Xian coaxed, thinking the toil the hundred thousand doses of medicine must have taken on Jun Wu Xie, and seeing the dark rings forming under her eyes.
“Yes, Grandfather.” Jun Wu Xie got up, knowing there are things Jun Xian and Jun Qing did not want to discuss in front of her as she carried the little black cat and left the room.

Chapter 105: “A storm is brewing (1)”
After Jun Wu Xie departed, the expressions of Jun Xian and Jun Qing darkened.
“The matter about Lin Yue Yang is true?” Jun Qing brought up the discussion they had earlier before Jun Wu Xie came.
Jun Xian nodded solemnly, “It is strange, Lin Yue Yang has always been honest and upright and does not hold a high rank. But recently, the number of impeachments against him has been astounding, and the Emperor has ordered investigations into it.”
“Lin Yue Yang saved the life of my brother, if not for his report on the spies within the army collaborating with the enemies, my brother might have lost that war.” Jun Qing sighed at the favour the Jun Family owed to Lin Yue Yang.
“Yes, he is an honest man, and no fool. When he was promoted to an official post in the Imperial City, he distanced himself from Lin Palace. He might have sensed something and drew a clear line between us. For many years, we have not met him much though we all live in Imperial City. Lin Yue Yang has been subtle all this time, who would harbour ill intentions against him?” Jun Xian pondered, for a man holding an unimportant post, without any authority, not involved in Court matters, who can he offend?
“Are you going to investigate, Father?” Jun Qing queried.
Jun Xian sighed, “Your brother owes him a debt of gratitude, and he is an honest man. It it wasn’t for that incident with our Jun Family, the Emperor would not even begin to suspect a border guard to be in collusion with our Jun Family. We are responsible for dragging him into this mess.”
Jun Qing thought back to the past when Lin Palace was at its peak, before his brother died for the country, before he was crippled, its glory and grandeur covered and protected them. Since its decline, in the absence of its former glory, hidden dangers started
to surface.
“Have someone look into it.” Jun Xian shook his head, helpless. He cannot bear to see a just man framed like this.
An urgent knock sounded, interrupting their conversation.
“Come in.” Jun Xian intoned.
A Lin Palace guard knelt at the door, the cold night wafting into the room.
“Reporting to Lin Wang. The General Li Ran requests for an audience.”
“General Li Ran? What does he want from me so late in the night?” Jun Xian asked, brows furrowed.
“I do not know, the General has quite a few soldiers with him, and seems anxious.”
“I’ll go take a look.” Jun Xian stood up, and Jun Qing tugged on his sleeve.
“The cold gets frosty, deep in the night. Father, take caution.” Jun Qing implied.
Jun Xian nodded.
Just outside Lin Palace, a pair of soldiers brandished burning torches, driving back the night. General Li Ran, stood in front of his horse, looking anxious.
Seeing Jun Xian coming out of Lin Palace, Li Ran rushed up, and prostrated himself.
“Li Ran, what is this all about?”
“Lin Wang! Please help!” Li Ran pleaded, fist in hand.
Jun Xian raised a brow, “What happened? To make you come here so late in the night.”
“Official Lin’s….. household…..” Li Ran hesitated.
Jun Xian’s heart skipped a beat, but maintained his composure.
“What happened?”
“I was carrying out His Majesty’s orders to bring Official Lin in for questioning in regards to corruption and bribery charges. When I arrived, the mishap at Lin Household had already happened. Official Lin killed thirty six people of his household, when I got there, I saw him holding on to the sword, insane, that was still impaled in the chest of his wife.” Li Ran was bathed in cold sweat, unable to believe what he witnessed earlier.
Volume 2
Chapter 106: “A storm is brewing (2)”
“What did you say?!” Jun Xian stared, unable to believe what he just heard.
“Official Lin knows, His Majesty has been investigating his foul deeds, I do not know how he came to know about it. He suddenly killed everyone in his household, and I wanted to apprehend him just now. Little did I know, his skills far surpass mine. He defeated tens of my guards, and escaped. I am not his match, hence, I came here to request for assistance from Your Highness! I implore Your Highness to lend a hand! If he escapes, His Majesty will not be lenient with me.” Li Ran pleaded, kneeling before Jun Xian.
Hidden within Jun Xian’s sleeves, were fists tightly clenched. Using all his might, he masked the shock that reverberated through him.
It was impossible that Lin Yue Yang, such an upright man, would kill his whole household over trumped up charges!
“Where is he now?” Jun Xian asked coldly.
“I had him followed. He has left the Imperial City, heading south east.” Li Ran replied hastily.
“I will set off now.” Jun Xian refused to believe Lin Yue Yang was capable of such atrocities, but with Li Ran bearing eye witness to Lin Yue Yang killing his wife, they will kill Lin Yue Yang right there and then if they get to him first.
The Jun Family is indebted to Lin Yue Yang, a point Jun Xian would never forget. He will handle this matter personally, bring Lin Yue Yang back to reveal the truth, in order to keep him alive.
The majority of the Lin Palace guards were out with Long Qi escorting the pills. Jun Xian gathered the remaining guards, though few in numbers, every single one of them a top fighter.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jun Xian was on the chase.
A hidden shadow, watched Jun Xian leave the City Gates. He grinned wickedly, shrouded in the darkness.
“Your Highness, as astute as you are, you will not allow your benefactor to die an ignoble death.” The shadow in the darkness, let out a series of low laughter and turned, hands kept behind his back. Within the dark alley, pairs of cold and evil eyes looked at him intently, numbering in the hundreds.
“Is it certain, that most of the Lin Palace’s guards are out of the city?” The hidden shadow asked cagily.
“I am certain! I saw a large number of guards escorting several horse carriages out earlier.”
“Would you know, where they have gone?”
“I do not know, guards from the Lin Palace belongs to the Rui Lin Army, the terrain is too open after the City Gates and I dare not follow, fearing discovery. But I have also verified, most of the remaining guards in the Lin Palace have followed His Highness in pursuit of Lin Yue Yang. There will be no more than fifteen guards remaining in the whole of Lin Palace.”
“Fifteen soldiers from the Rui Lin Army?” The dark shadow chuckled.
“I would like to see, if my suicide squad of three hundred, can annihilate the Lin Palace tonight! Convey my orders! Infiltrate the Lin Palace, turn it inside out, I do not want anyone in the household alive by sunrise! Especially Jun Wu Xie and that useless trash, Jun Qing, I want to see their heads!”
“It shall be done!”
In a flash, all the dark cloaked shadows in the alley disappeared.
The shadow who issued the order, ascended the tall tower in the Imperial City and peered in the direction of the Lin Palace.
After tonight, Lin Palace shall cease to exist! And the Jun Family shall be no more!
The bright moon slid behind dark clouds, obliterating the last vestiges of moonlight.
In the deathly still of the night, dark shadows infiltrated the Lin Palace.
Volume 2
Chapter 107: “A storm is brewing (3)”
Shrouded by the darkness, the hidden Lin Palace guards from the Rui Lin Army noticed the abnormal movements as they stepped out from the shadows, to welcome the uninvited guests.
“If you are here to seek an audience with His Highness, please come again in the morning. Lin Palace does not receive guests after dark. The white haired Uncle Fu stood, hands behind his back, eyes steeled, facing the oncoming rush of shadowy assassins. Standing behind him, fifteen resolute and stalwart figures blocked the only way to the backyard.
“We are not here to visit, we are under orders to send everyone in Lin Palace on their way to hell! “ The dark cloaked figure exclaimed, laughing maniacally.
Uncle Fu’s eyes flashed, dropping the kindly smile, as his sharply honed killer instinct took over.
“Then I won’t be polite! Intruders to Lin Palace will only face ….. Death!”
In a flash, Uncle Fu and the fifteen Rui Lin Army soldiers rushed into the midst of the horde of shadows. The light coloured clothed guards of Lin Palace shone brilliantly in contrast to the onslaught of shadows.
The deathly still of the night was broken, smelling acridly of death and blood.
Two groups of shadowy figures slipped into Lin Palace from the back as the battle in the front yard raged. They quickly killed the guards in the back of the Palace. With blades still dripping with fresh blood, they walked to the backyard.
The sweet smell of herbs lingered in the backyard, all was silent and still. The lotus pond rippled, as a soft breeze blew, bringing a chill.
One group of shadows stepped out, shattering the beauty of the night. Holding in their hands, blades that dripped blood, fresh from their slaughter, leaving a smattering of red on the ground.
“Tsk tsk…It is not advisable to disturb the rest of Wu Xie.” A charming voice rang out suddenly, breaking the quietness in the yard. The shadowy figures startled, as they swung around to confront the voice.
A tall, slender figure, stepped slowly out of the shadows and into the illuminating moonlight. The handsome figure with his boyish grin belied those eyes, that exuded terrifying menace.
Jun Wu Yao glanced at the wary group casually, as he moved his gaze to the blades that were dripping blood onto the ground and his eyes glowed a dark violet.
“Dirtying Jun Wu Xie’s yard is a crime, a crime you shall pay….. With your lives.” Jun Wu Yao’s sm
ile slowly spread, however it was one that brought about a chilling tingle in the spine.
Under the moonlight, the shadowy group could see the lone figure clearly. The gaze from those violet eyes, like a sharp sword, seem to have pierced their hearts.
“De….. demon……”
“That’s just rude!” Jun Wu Yao shook his head, “How can I be a mere demon?”
The violet hue in his eyes flashed, and his body became a blur of movements.
In a blink, quiet returned to the yard….. scarlet rain descended as the warm red colour fell onto the ground.
Jun Wu Xie opened her door at that moment, still dazed from sleep.
In that strangely enchanting scarlet rain, an elegant figure stood unmoving, his face tilted up, the stunning handsome face smattered scarlet from the rain.
He was laughing as his half amused violet eyes looked at her sideways, and the corners of the mouth curled up.
Those eyes showed merciless annihilation, his laughter maniacal. It makes one’s skin crawl, a sight that Jun Wu Xie would never forget.
It was extremely beautiful, strangely alluring, but chilling to see at the same time.
Volume 2
Chapter 108: “A storm is brewing (4)”
The scarlet rain that fell brought with it an acrid and suffocating smell. Jun Wu Xie glanced at the bodies scattered all over, her eyes strangely calm.
“Sorry I woke you, Wu Xie.” Jun Wu Yao smiled apologetically, and looked down at his blood spattered clothes. “I really wish you didn’t have to see me like this.”
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes. Upon hearing fighting from the front yard, her eyes flashed a cold intent.
[Master! Something’s up] The little black cat arched it’s back in anxiety.
“It’s the Emperor.” Jun Wu Xie reasoned exceptionally coldly. “Jun Wu Yao!”
“Hmm?” Jun Wu Yao smiled faintly, fervour in his eyes.
