Even the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had felt that subtle change as the dull ache in his head was gradually being alleviated by the fragrant scent, becoming a lot less intense.
Such a amazing effect greatly startled everyone.
Although they had all thought that Elder Ying and Jun Wu Xie were highly credible and were to be believed, but none of them had ever thought that the medicine’s effect would be so obvious, where even smelling its scent would clear up their groggy and slightly hazy minds.
And that was just from the scent it gave out. If that was swallowed…..
At that moment, everyone who had been suspicious of the Melted Snow Elixir suddenly felt all their doubts melt away.
Elder Yue’s face immediately turned a steely green.
The Shadow Moon Palace looked like he almost could not wait to swallow the elixir down into belly and at the same moment that he swallowed it, he felt a tinge of refreshing cool accompanying the Melted Snow Elixir going down his throat from his mouth, spreading out to fill his body, instantly wiping away all traces of weariness and exhaustion completely!
Such lightning quick effect from the medicine, caused the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s eyes to unconsciously widen. He held his hands over his chest, to feel that refreshing cool spreading all over his body, like he was soaked within spring water, the weariness seeping out of him, becoming more relaxed little by little.

Chapter 1807: “Radical Turn of Events (5)”
“The medicine…..” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s voice was tinged with a slight tremor. He raised his eyes up in surprise as he looked at Jun Wu Xie standing before him.
There was no need for the Shadow Moon Palace Lord to say rest of the words. Just from the colour on his face was enough for everyone to see that change that had come over him.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s initially pale and white face had immediately taken a rosy tinge and he no longer gave people the feeling of being sickly and frail, but was no different from any normal person.
“Chang Huan! You’re truly a treasure!” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord couldn’t feel any clearer the change that was coming over his body. The rejuvenation that spread throughout his body was something that he had not felt for a long time. Ever since his body had started feeling unwell, he had never feel as comfortable and as reinvigorated for the past few years. This feeling that he had not felt for so long, made him feel extraordinarily happy.
Jun Wu Xie lowered her head indifferently and said in a calm tone: “That I could be of help to my Lord, is your disciple’s honour.”
“Hahaha! That’s great, kid! I’m glad for your concern.” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord was in great spirits, and the smile on his face shone unbridled.
The various Elders at the side silently heaved sighs of relief inwardly and the few of them who were friendly to Elder Ying quickly threw congratulatory glances his way.
Jun Wu Xie’s powers had already earned the admiration of the Shadow Moon Palace Lord and now that the presentation of the medicine showed such exemplary effects, it would seem that no one would be able to surpass Jun Wu Xie’s position among the younger generation of the Shadow Moon Palace’s disciples!
Elder Ying’s face merely showed a gentle smile, and not the slightest sliver of arrogance or pride.
On the other hand, Elder Yue’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot and he was grinding his teeth so hard that his teeth were almost going to break.
Even if you beat him to death, he would never have expected that things would turn out to become like this.
From being a piece of trash that no one thought anything of, to suddenly shot to the top to shine with such brilliance. Not only did he surpass Yue Yi by a stretch in spirit powers, he had even presented the Shadow Moon Palace Lord with a most desirable elixir. Such a complete turn in fortune, almost caused Elder Yue to vomit out a mouthful of blood!
He had thought that he would be able to press on with the fact that Jun Wu Xie had broken out from imprisonment and send her straight down into the eighteenth level of Hell. Never had he expected that one Melted Snow Elixir would become the sharpest weapon to decimate his entire plan.
With that Melted Snow Elixir, Jun Wu Xie had not only come out completely unscathed with her escape from prison, but had even made the Shadow Moon Palace Lord felt that Jun Wu Xie was absolutely loyal, and had defied orders only because he wanted to present up the medicine.
Jun Wu Xie had won every advantage there was to gain here and all the bellyful of disparaging words that Elder Yue held prepared were now disarmed and of no use. The strong aggrievement he held bottled in almost suffocated him.
“Congratulations to my Lord!” Elder Ying bent his back slightly with his hand clasped over his fist and said. “For my Lord to be able to regain his health, it is the greatest fortune to the Shadow Moon Palace.”
“Congratulations to my Lord.” The entire bunch of Elders quickly chorused in agreement.
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord was in a great mood and he was absolutely beaming with smiles.
“Today, it is all due to Chang Huan’s thoughtfulness.” Speaking of that, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord turned to look smilingly at Chang Huan and said: “Chang Huan, you joined the Shadow Moon Palace from a young age and has been with our palace for a rather long time. For so many years, you have stayed at Elder Ying’s side and you have learnt quite a few things. You must now start to learn more about the affairs within the palace in future as I am looking forward to seeing you grow in the days ahead.”
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord had said it casually but as long as one wasn’t an idiot, anyone would realize the Palace Lord’s intention of putting him in an important position.
From learning from Elder Ying to learning from within the palace. That was obviously already opening up a wide path within the Shadow Moon Palace for him, and it would only be a matter of time that he would soar to great heights.
“Your disciple shall obey.” Jun Wu Xie answered humbly.
Volume 19
Chapter 1808: “Radical Turn of Events (6)”
The Shadow Moon Palace Lord personally spoke out in praise for Jun Wu Xie and that was clearly seen by all the Elders in the palace. Everyone knew that Jun Wu Xie would surely be the youth that would be most watched within the Shadow Moon Palace henceforth and quite a number of them secretly envied Elder Ying for his great luck. They had thought that Elder Ying must have gravely misjudged when he took such great care of a useless piece of trash but from the way things looked now, Elder Ying was actually the smartest one among them, that he could see with just one glance Jun Wu Xie’s potential and had patiently guided and taught the kid till the kid was now just beginning to show initial brilliance. And that first reveal of talents had already completely surpassed all the other youths of the Shadow Moon Palace entirely in an instant!
“Alright, it has been tiring for everyone yesterday and all of you should go get some rest.” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord said with a smile.
Everyone then started to leave one by one.
Jun Wu Xie walked out of the bed chambers together with Elder Ying where they bumped into a dark faced Elder Yue outside.
“Hmph.” A corner of Elder Yue’s mouth twitched as he stared at Jun Wu Xie standing beside Elder Ying, the anger in his heart almost driving him to vomit out blood.
[Just how resilient is this kid’s destiny fated to be! ?]
[Poison had failed and he had remained safe and sound.]
[Assassins have been sent out and he had miraculously avoided them.]
[It had been clear to him that he should have been able to bring death upon the kid this time but in the end, he had turned the tables right around and gained himself such great benefit.]
Ever since Elder Yue came to the Shadow Moon Palace, he had never been met with such anything that made him feel like vomiting blood so much and there hadn’t been anyone whom he found more difficult to deal with.
What made it
even worse for him was that Jun Wu Xie not only had Elder Ying shielding and protecting her, but had now made the Shadow Moon Palace Lord have a renewed impression of her. To want to get rid of Jun Wu Xie, it had now become increasingly difficult.
“Is Elder Yue feeling unwell? Do you need this disciple to cultivate an elixir for you?” Jun Wu Xie asked with her eyebrow arched up, as she stared at the highly infuriated Elder Yue, speaking in a tone that didn’t care whether she would drive Elder Yue to his death in anger.
Elder Yue’s blood surged up into the back of his throat, as he gritted his teeth to glare at Jun Wu Xie.
“Chang Huan, since the Lord places such high value on you, you must work harder on your cultivation from now on. Do not disappoint the Lord expectations of you.” He clearly hated the kid so much that he wished he could tear him to shreds but Elder Yue had no choice but to say these words that went against what he felt in his heart.
“Thank you Elder Yue for your reminder. This disciple shall make sure I do not disappoint the favour my Lord has shown now.” Jun Wu Xie said without fear.
Elder Yue looked at Jun Wu Xie with a smile that did not reach his eyes and when he was almost being driven to the verge of death from anger towards Jun Wu Xie, Elder Yue quickly left from the place with a flick of his sleeves.
Seeing Elder Yue’s highly aggrieved back, a cold smile rose at the corners of Elder Ying’s mouth.
“I’m afraid that he would never have expected throughout his entire life that he would be forced back into such a corner by such a young disciple.”
Elder Yue’s status and position in the Shadow Moon Palace was unshakable and as long as he wanted to deal with a person, none could escape from it. Even Elder Ying had once fallen victim to Elder Yue’s schemes where he was deceived to come here into the Shadow Moon Palace. If not for the fact that the Shadow Moon Palace Lord still coveted the undisclosed treasures of the Zhan Family Clan, Elder Yue might have already moved against him by now.
But now, the wily and sly Elder Yue had tripped up before Jun Wu Xie, which just made Elder Ying unbelievably happy.
“I particularly like people of his kind. The kind who want me dead but are just unable to defeat me at all.” Jun Wu Xie said as the corners of her mouth arced up slightly.
This is just the beginning, and there’s more to come in the days ahead. It was wished that Elder Yue’s body would be able to withstand it and not be infuriated to death.
“You, kid, are really arrogant.” Elder Ying said as he looked at Jun Wu Xie who was brimming with confidence, and then laughed aloud. “But I just love that arrogance in you.”

Chapter 1809: “Radical Turn of Events (7)”
Jun Wu Xie arched her eyebrow up and the two of them went back to Elder Ying’s room.
After making sure that there was no one else around, Elder Ying finally heaved out a great sigh of relief and sat himself down on a chair as he looked thoughtfully at Jun Wu Xie.
“What is that Melted Snow Elixir you had with you actually?” In reality, when he brought Jun Wu Xie to go to the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s bed chambers, Elder Ying had no idea of what Jun Wu Xie was intending to do, but had only brought her there as Jun Wu Xie had requested.
As for that thing called the Melted Snow Elixir, Elder Ying never even heard of it before and it was even more impossible that it could have been something the Zhan Family Clan had possessed.
“You knew nothing about it and you dared to trust me?” Jun Wu Xie sat down on a chair, and crossed her legs as she looked at Elder Ying, completely calm and unruffled.
Everything that she had done at the Shadow Moon Palace Lord’s bed chambers today, had never been discussed with Elder Ying before. She had intended to shoulder it all herself, and she had not expected that Elder Ying would step forward to vouch for her at the most critical juncture.
He didn’t show any fear that any mishap might happen to him.
“What’s not to trust? You had dared to gamble on it with your life and I would naturally have nothing to fear accompanying you in that bet.” Elder Ying said with a laugh.
Jun Wu Xie then said: “That Melted Snow Elixir is merely a kind of medicine that neutralizes poison.”
“You already knew what kind of a poison the Palace Lord was afflicted with?” Elder Ying asked as he looked at Jun Wu Xie in shock.
Jun Wu Xie shook her head. “I did not know. But that elixir is able to at least give an alleviating effect on any kind of toxins and even if it could not eradicate it completely, it would still produce a certain level of effect.”
And what she wanted, was just that little bit of effect.
“You are brazenly bold.” Elder Ying had to give it to Jun Wu Xie. In a situation where she did not know what kind of a poison the Shadow Moon Palace Lord was afflicted with, she had so adaciously dared to take such a gamble, that was a truly thrilling play she made.
Jun Wu Xie shrugged her shoulders and did not say anything.
In truth, she had dared to take such a risky gamble purely because of her confidence in her skills in Medicine.
“But, didn’t you claim that you wanted to destroy the Shadow Moon Palace? So why have you suddenly come out to neutralize the Palace Lord’s poison? Isn’t that going in the opposite direction of your plans?” Elder Ying asked, feeling rather curious. Logically, if one wanted to destroy the Shadow Moon Palace, the fastest way would be to let the Palace Lord die, and in that situation where a dragon was without its head, the Shadow Moon Palace would turn highly chaotic, which would be the easiest time for it to be destroyed.
Jun Wu Xie then said: “I want to force the person who set the poison to show up.”
If the Shadow Moon Palace died, it might throw the Shadow Moon Palace into chaos, but with so many Elders holding the fort, the chaos might not hold out for too long. Moreover, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord had a heir, though still very young. But with the support of so many Elders, he would be able to temporarily assume the position of the Palace Lord and with just certain period of coaching, he would then become the new Palace Lord to step up and stabilize the unrest in the Shadow Moon Palace.
And that was not the result Jun Wu Xie seeked.
“The person who set the poison?” Elder Ying asked with an eyebrow arched up.
“Since that person was still able to strike under the tight guard the Shadow Moon Palace Lord put around him, then there’s no doubt on that person’s ability. And as we share the same objective, wanting to completely destroy the Shadow Moon Palace, the fastest way to do it will be to rope that person in with us.” Jun Wu Xie said calmly, a perfect plan already formed in her heart. As for how she was going to proceed, she would only need to force that person to come out.
Elder Ying stared at Jun Wu Xie, only somewhat understanding what was said, but suddenly feeling that the youth before his eyes was much more complicated that he had predicted. He had already experienced so much in life, but he was still not able to see through the thoughts of this youth, which was truly terrifying for him!
“Rest assured. The incident with the Melted Snow Elixir will spread throughout the palace very quickly. That person will not be able to hold back for long.” Jun Wu Xie said with her chin propped up in the palm of one hand, calm and confident.

Chapter 1810: “Instigated (1)”
Elder Yue came stomping back to his room in a rage. When the servants in the courtyard saw Elder Yue’s face, all of them were immediately careful to not dare to open their mouths.
“Go! Go ask Yue Ye to come over here!” Elder Yue said to a servant.
The servant immediately made his way towards Yue Ye’s little courtyard and not long after, Yue Ye was called in to come into Elder Yue’s room.
Yue Ye stood timidly inside, her eyes filled with a trace of fear.
“Little Ye.” Elder Yue called in a deep voice.
“Grandfather…..” Yue Ye answered and trembled slightly.
In fro
nt of Yue Yi, Elder Yue and Yue Ye were as amiable as a real pair of grandparent and grandchild. But when Yue Yi was not around, the fear Yue Ye felt towards Elder Yue could not be suppressed no matter how she tried.
When Elder Yue saw Yue Ye looking so timid and fearful, a sliver of impatience rose in his heart, and his already unhappy mood became more depressed.
“The Palace Lord’s health had shown some improvement these few days, so go keep him company a little more. Do you understand?”
Yue Ye was slightly startled as she lifted up her head warily, and looked at Elder Yue with nervousness in her eyes. “The Lord….. Hasn’t the Lord suffered a relapse?”
Elder Yue then snorted in disdain and said: “His illness had indeed relapsed. But that Chang Huan brought out some kind of elixir from Heavens know where and the Lord is feeling much better after swallowing that pill. Because of the medicine he presented up, the Palace Lord is now seeing Chang Huan in a renewed light.”
When he thought about that, Elder Yue’s anger rose up immediately. He lifted his eyes up and looked at that thin and frail figure, his gaze sweeping over that pale face.
“Yue Ye. Chang Huan is Elder Ying’s disciple and Elder Ying has been dead set against me for very long. Yue Yi is my grandson and I have been trying very hard to fight for a better future for him. But now, this Chang Huan had suddenly leapt into the picture out of the blue and Chang Huan is not on good terms with your brother. Added to that, with the prejudice Elder Ying feels against me, if Chang Huan manages to win out in the Palace Lord’s eyes, he will surely try to oppress and bring down your elder brother mercilessly. Little Ye….. You’re already grown up, and have become very sensible. The Palace Lord likes you so much, you should help your elder brother a little. You wouldn’t want your elder brother to lose his standing within the Shadow Moon Palace would you?” Elder Yue said in a deep and heavy tone.
