âDonât worry grandfather, youâve said things that Master had also thought of. Tomorrow I will give something for uncle to take, it wonât be detrimental to him, it just masks his health and let others view his pulse and his symptoms as though he is hanging on by a thread of life.â She had long thought of this and had prepared in advance some pills that could act as a deterrent in the event of any emergency.
Jun Xian and Jun Qing were glad that her master had such foresight and had everything prepared so comprehensively.
It seemed this master of hers was determined to help their family.
During this period of recuperation, Jun Qing was not only given back the use of his legs, his whole body had been strengthened and conditioned from inside out. On the other hand, Jun Xianâs health had improved so much, his whole body had become more robust, his mind was sharper and clearer, his whole body was conditioned to its peak.
âYour master has contributed greatly to the Lin Palace, we are forever indebted to him.â Jun Xian sighed, this elusive master of hers had helped their family so much yet he refused to show up or made any demands on them.
âHe does not care.â Jun Wu Xie looked down wistfully while stroking the little black cat in her arms.
All she could do now was to let Jun Xian and Jun Qing get more powerful. However that was not enough, she wanted to be more powerful herself, strong enough to wipe out all the enemies off the face of this earth.
The day was soon over as everybody was busy preparing for the grand banquet. The sun rose and all the households were busy preparing for tonightâs banquet. Horses brushed, carriages polished, lavish outfits donned on and as the sun began to set, the whole Imperial city was set abuzz as the streets were filled with the most luxurious carriages as they all went towards the Imperial Palace. With all the various carriages lined in front of the palace, all the various ministers had with them treasures from all over gathered here today to celebrate the Crown Princeâs birthday.
Junâs family carriage arrived grandly at the Palace gates. Long Qi was sitting outside the carriage as he looked coldly at the carriage coming over to the side.
Wu w.a.n.gâs extravagant carriage caught up with them, crystals clinking could be heard as Wu w.a.n.g stuck his head out of the crystal beaded curtain.
âWhy isnât it Lin w.a.n.g? What a coincidence!â he sneered with his plump face and gave a greasy smile.
Jun Xian drew his own carriage curtain and nodded.
When Wu w.a.n.g saw the other two Jun family members in the carriage, he smiled even more.
âLittle highness and Wu Xie really came? Wow, itâs going to be so boisterous, oh, but I wonder if his little highnessâs body can take it? Rest a.s.sured Lin w.a.n.g, based on our close relation, Iâve already informed the servants to wait on him during the banquet, no need to worry!â
âThank you for the arrangement.â Jun Xian retorted curtly as he clenched his fist tightly and put the curtain down, not wanting to see that sickening face any longer.
âOh!â Wu w.a.n.g contentedly shrank back into his own carriage as the crystals clinked together noisily.
Within the carriage, Jun Wu Xie raised her head and asked. âWhat filthy thing did that man eat?â His mouth was really cheap.
Jun Xian and his son immediately knew what she meant when she cursed that way as they smiled wryly.
âHe is the kingâs brother â Wu w.a.n.g, he doesnât have much skills so he relies heavily on his relations.h.i.+p to have things his way. He doesnât use his brain much, no need bother about him, heâs just a waste. You have to remember that the real danger are those who hide their hostilities deep within and stab you in the back when you least expect it.â Jun Qing was worried about Jun Wu Xie as she was still young and had not much experience with the real world.
He really wanted to protect her from all danger if he could, to forever s.h.i.+eld her from this cold and deceptive world.
