Rebirth Of A Villainess

Chapter 26 - Misfortune

"Young Miss Li! Young Miss Li! Are you awake?"

Several maids that attended to the sect leader's daughter kept pounding on the door for her to open up for them to come in, the sound pulled Xu Hui from her sleep.

"What is it?"

"Young Miss Li! We fear for Sect leader Li's life! "

"Come in!"

The door slowly slid to the side as ten female servants dressed in the purple robes of the YuanLi sect walked into the bedchambers of Li Jiao. They bowed in greeting to their sect leader's daughter.

"Greeting Young Miss Li!"

"You can now raise your head up."

"Thank you Young Miss Li!"

Xu Hui was still stretched out under the purple floral bed cover, when the servants saw their young mistress had not sat up in bed yet after their greeting, they offered to lift her up from the bed.

"Young Miss Li, would you like us to help you up?"

Four of the maid went to the head of the bed where Xu Hui laid with her head on a purple quilted throw pillow, two stood at the middle, while the remaining four stood at the foot of the bed.

Reverently the female servants at the middle pushed off the bed cover to the far end of the bed, almost at the same time, they bent to wrap their arms underneath the back of Xu Hui to raise her up. The four at the foot of the bed slid their hands under her legs, gently placing feet covered in quilted stocking of purple to the floor. They bowed to their young mistress again before leaving her side to return to their previous position.

"You said you feared for my father's life, in what way?"

When they heard the voice that was supposedly Li Jiao's they all dropped down to their knees with their head lowered.

"Young Miss Li, Jiyi ask permission to speak freely."

"I am listening, speak!"

None of them saw the irritation that had stolen across the face of Xu Hui, she just wanted the servant to spill out what she had to say without taking all the time in the world.

"Young Miss Li, Sect leader Li flew out in rage from hearing that other sects were under attack by demons. He didn't take any of the disciples with him when leaving for ShenJiangShi sect, I fear he may not be able to protect himself, should he have the misfortune of encountering them on the way back."

"When did father leave?"

"Sect leader Li has been away for two hours."

"He probably has many things to discuss with the other sect, is that why you woke me up?!"

"I beg of you Young Miss Li, please do not be offended by the words of your ignorant servants."

The biting tone from Xu Hui made the female servants to trembled from where they knelt.

"Which of the sects did you say was under attack by demons?"

" Young Miss Li, it was ZaoQiang sect, KuShun sect, BaoXu sect, MoXing sect and GongKua sect."

"BaoXu sect?! Are you sure it was BaoXu sect?! Raise your head, so that I can see if you are telling me the truth!"

"Y..Young Miss Li..I speak no untruth, BaoXu sect was part of them."

"BaoXu...."
