Yue Yi sprinted madly the entire way, rushing straight to the outside of the dungeon. Before he entered the dungeon, he forced himself to look calm as he hid the wooden box properly, and then walked inside.
"Junior Yue Yi, why have you come?" The jailer saw Yue Yi and hurried to welcome him with a smile.
Who in the Shadow Moon Palace did not know that Yue Yi was Elder Yue's adopted grandson?
Elder Yue had no children and had only adopted Yue Yi and Yue Ye as his two grandchildren. Even if it was to curry favour with Elder Yue, many people in the palace would still be highly courteous towards Yue Yi.
Yue Yi nodded his head coldly.
"Grandfather asked me to come take a look. If there's nothing important, do not let anyone disturb me." Yue Yi said.
"Yes, yes. Junior Yue Yi, take your time to take a look. I will go stand guard at the door right now. If Elder Ying's people come, I will help you hold them off." The jailer thought that Yue Yi was acting under Elder Yue's orders and seeing the wretched state Jun Wu was in, he quickly agreed.
Yue Yi grunted in acknowledgement and then walked towards the cell Jun Wu was in.
The dark and gloomy cell was filled with a musty smell. This place was a little unfamiliar to Yue Yi. With Elder Yue around, he had almost never come to the dungeon.
The path in the dungeon was obviously very short but Yue Yi felt like it was torturous as he walked. He was afraid, afraid that he would see a scene that would make him break down.
"Why have you come?" A slightly cold voice suddenly rang out in the silent dungeon.
Yue Yi drew in a deep breath and turned his head in search of the voice.
In a scorched black cell, Yue Yi saw a familiar figure.
Jun Wu was sitting upon the hay, safe and sound, looking at him calmly.
"You're alright?" Yue Yi was slightly taken aback as he looked at Jun Wu who was as good as new, his eyes showing a tinge of surprise.
The Intestine Severing Flower poison took effect very quickly and logically, Jun Wu should have been poisoned by now but he could not find the slightest trace of anything suspicious on his body.
"What could possibly happen to me?" Jun Wu asked with an eyebrow arched up, looking at the slightly pale faced Yue Yi.
Yue Yi immediately walked over to the railing and squatted down to say in a soft voice: "Did you eat the buns the jailer gave you earlier?"
Jun Wu nodded.
Yue Yi drew in a deep breath and immediately took out the wooden box he had hidden away, and pushed it along the ground to come beside Jun Xie's feet.
"That jailer is one of Elder Yue's men and under Elder Yue's orders, he poisoned your food. I know that you know medicine but that poison was not any ordinary poison, but concocted from the Intestine Severing Flower. The Intestine Severing Flower's poison is highly potent and even a Silver Spirit is unable to withstand it. I do not know where he hid the antidote and there are many medicine bottles here. Since you know medicine, go look around and see if there is any antidote." Although Yue Yi's voice had been suppressed quite a bit, but it still could not hide the anxiety and nervousness in his voice.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Yue Yi's taut face and lowered her head to open the wooden box at her feet. A bunch of bottles and jars were stuffed into the wooden box and she opened them one by one to sniff at them before putting them back.
"What do you think? Is there an antidote? "Yue Yi asked urgently.
"I don't have the antidote, but I did find the poison you mentioned." Jun Wu Xie took out a red bottle.
Yue Yi almost fell to his knees before Jun Wu Xie.
"Why are you looking for poison for? You ….. Is there really no antidote in there?" Yue Yi was highly anxious. No one could be certain when the poison in Jun Wu Xie's body would act up and he was highly worried.
"No." Jun Wu Xie shrugged her shoulders.
"Then I'll go back and look for it. Just you wait!" Yue Yi said, about to get up.
"No need." Jun Wu Xie said suddenly.
