Chereads / Rebirth of a Villainess / Chapter 11 - Affection

Chapter 11 - Affection

Sect Leader Li knocked at the door of his daughter's bedchambers, without waiting to be told to come in, he barged in, heading straight to the bed where she laid.

"How is Jiao'er?

The face of the YuanLi sect leader was heavily marked by grief, as he faced the physician.

"Miss Li is only exhausted from the banquet, a little rest in her bedchamber is all she needs to regain her strength."

Physician Shen spoke solemnly to the sect leader, not wanting to bring up the exact cause of Li Jiao's "tiredness", but he suspected the YuanLi sect leader would have gotten wind of what transpired between his daughter and the other disciples. The words of the physician did not bring their usual comfort to Li Guoliang as it use to, his face still held worry for the daughter that was asleep.

"Tell me, is it true that Jiao'er and one of the disciples fought while I was away?!"

"..."

Physician Shen did not known how to respond to the direct inquiry by the sect leader, should he say that the young miss of YuanLi sect only reacted due to mere provocation from a junior disciple? If so, there was no way that the sect leader will continue to allow such a disciple to stay at YuanLi sect.

Telling the sect leader that she acted rashly would make it look like he the physician was picking sides with the junior disciple, it didn't matter either way he chose to say it, both sides will be unhappy.

"Physician Shen, tell me what exactly went on, did Jiao'er get into a fight? It is not like her to do such a thing. Zian'er you were there also, didn't you see what happened?"

The sect leader looked from one man to the other, hoping to get the answer he needed to solve the riddle in front of him, the physician looked undecided, while Fu Zian wore his customary genial smile back on, the moment the sect leader stormed into his daughter's chambers.

"Sect leader Li, Miss Li is really something, if I had known she was a skillful sword user, I'll have asked for her hand in marriage a long time ago."

As he said this, both men didn't know whether he was jesting or plain serious, but either way the sect leader didn't find it in the least bit funny, he had on a tight expression on his face on hearing how the senior disciple spoke of his daughter as though he were talking about someone else.

"Please do not take the foolish words of Fu Zian to heart, it was a mere sword play among two youngsters that simply went out of hand. Neither of them meant any ill will towards the other, clearly Miss Li just got lucky with the sword, unlike what Fu Zian was trying to insinuate."

Li Guoliang looked at the face of Physician Shen, as he tried to find any hidden meaning behind the words of the other man, he felt dissatisfied with the explanation and Fu Zian's response wasn't helping in the slightest bit.
