Rebirth Of A Villainess
Chapter 40 - Bargain(3)
Fu Zian kept looking at the female cultivator that flew ahead of him, his mind was in disarray. He didn't know what to think of the preposterous words that she suggested to him. Looking at her made him want to pull out his hair in frustration, he didn't know if he could put of the pretense of her being the daughter of his sect leader.
"Who would believe me, if I told them that she was not Li Jiao?!"
He could already see the faces of the disciples at his sect laughter at him, there was no way he would ever be able to lift his head again around them and his sect leader. Depending on how the YuanLi sect leader took it, he could have his senior disciple caned to death or even sent of the sect to never return.
"Which sect would ever take me? Definitely not GuBaiJin or ShenJiangShi! WuYangChen would be my last resort, but would they even think of taking someone that was discarded by a sect like the YuanLi sect? I don't know anymore!"
The senior disciple of the YuanLi sect shook his head as the last thought filtered through his mind, to dispel the dismal notion of becoming a reject by the other prominent sects.
Fu Zian could not think of allying himself with any sect that was below those three, even if he wanted to lower his standards a little, the BaoXu sect that he would have probably joined was no more.
Meanwhile, Xu Hui could sense the turmoil coming from the cultivator that was behind her, she kept moving through the air unconcerned by what could have been troubling the senior disciple of the YuanLi sect.
The two were drawing closer to where the sect was, before Xu Hui motioned with her hand for them to cease flying and instead walk the rest of the way back to the sect.
"Senior Fu Zian don't you think we should walk rather than fly into the courtyard?! Surely you don't want my father knowing that I came back with one of his male disciples and alone for that matter with none of my maids with us."
Fu Zian looked at the innocent eyes that stared back at him, still reeling from the shock of the secret she would have withheld from him had he not stumbled upon it by chance. He blamed himself for being a coward and not mustering the courage to expose her deceit to the sect leader.
"As you wish lady Li, but isn't it too late for that, since we already flew by the market place."
"Is that so?"
Fu Zian changed to a more formal tone, watching as Xu Hui descended on the soft grass, while following soon after, they both began walking towards the purple gate of the YuanLi sect, which during the day was left open which several cultivators guarding the entrance, but at night the gate was kept locked and heavily protected.
"Good day!"
Fu Zian gave a salute to the disciples that stood at the gate, walking past them, but neither turned to return back his greeting. This unnerved the senior disciple, as he turned to face Xu Hui to see if she encountered a similar experience. Xu Hui waited until Fu Zian was already inside, before unveiling her presence to the cultivators at the gate.
"Greetings Lady Li! We didn't see you when you walked by, please forgive us!"
All eight disciples gave a deep bow to the young mistress of the YuanLi sect.
"It is I that should ask for your forgiveness for sneaking out and not telling any of you, please do not let my father know about this."
They all nodded solemnly at Xu Hui, watching as she walked into the courtyard of the YuanLi sect.
"What did you do? Why were they able to see you and not me?!"
Fu Zian eyes narrowed with deep distrust at the maiden masquerading as the sect leader's daughter. Rather than responding to his question, Xu Hui shrugged her shoulders, unwilling to let him know that she had shielding his presence on purpose in order to protect his reputation from being destroyed. With an apathetic smile on her face, she walked past him, heading in the direction of her bedchambers.
