Rebirth Of A Villainess

Carefully settling the sect leader"s daughter on her bed, Xu Hui watched "her father" pace up and down her bedchamber, uncertain about how to address him in the new body she was residing currently . The maids stayed close to where she was, while the male servants stood a few feet away .

A few moments pa.s.sed as a firm rap against the door sounded . a.s.sured that the knock at the door was the physician, Sect Leader Li called out in a loud voice, "Come in!"

The door slid to the side, as an elderly man dressed in humble brown robes, his graying hair was held in a simple dark wooden clasp . Carrying on one shoulder was a wooden brown bag containing supplies for treatment .

They all curtsied to him, and likewise he reciprocated the greeting back . After asking the sect leader what had happened, Physician Shen asked everyone to step out of the room, with the exception of only two maids to stay behind the translucent plum patterned screen that stood between where her bed was and the rest of the room .

Reluctant to leave the side of his daughter, but also knowing it was for her own good, Sect Leader Li walked out of the room, along with the rest of the servants . The other sect members had been told to stay away until Young Miss Li had made full recovery .

Spreading a plain white cloth on her left wrist, Physician Shen placed a hand over it to check her pulse . He had been the sect"s physician for many years, therefore he had intimate knowledge regarding the YuanLi sect"s family .

It didn"t take him long to find out that, something was terrible wrong with the sect leader"s daughter . He was the type that knew each person"s pulse by heart and this clearly did not feel like the pulse of Li Jiao, wanting to put his doubts to rest, he took a folded cloth containing series of acupuncture needles of various length and color .

He laid the folded cloth on the bed, until the needles had been exposed . Picking a couple of needles, he lightly, but firmly placed them on her body across pressure points that will stimulate circulation of Qi and blood flow .

After a while, he took the needles out and rechecked her pulse, but this time there was no change . That was when Physician Shen knew without a shadow of doubt that the pale faced young woman that he was attending to could not be the sect leader"s daughter .

While all this was going on, Xu Hui kept had been keeping a close look at the face of the physician from the time he began attending to her, she knew the moment when he discovered that she wasn"t who she presented herself to be . On his aging face was confusion, shock and fear .

Grabbing the elderly man by the sleeves of his robe, Xu Hui slightly rose up from where she laid, whispering faintly, "Physician Shen, let what you see remain here! If you expose my ident.i.ty, Do you think Father will believe you?! Let"s say he does, what do you think will happen to YuanLi sect?!"

The elderly man slowly nodded, his dark eyes was filled with great sorrow, deep within him, he knew there was no way he could bring himself to tell Sect Leader Li that the person who he thought was his daughter, wasn"t his and what would that do? This could lead to unimaginable turmoil within the sect and other cultivation clans .

Slowly rising up to his feet and gathering his belonging, Physician Shen quietly left the room of Li Jiao, swearing within him never to breath a word of what he saw to the leader of YuanLi sect .

The maid in the room, walked over to the sect leader"s daughter, informing her that they would be preparing a scented tub for her to cleanse her body .

"Bring the mirror over there to me!"

Xu Hui sharply commanded the maids, as one of them rushed over to get the mirror standing by the table where the sect leader"s daughter usually kept her jewelry box . Although, they were surprised by the tone of Li Jiao, they carefully hid their expression .

On getting close to her bed, the maid curtsied before handing the mirror to Li Jiao . Once in her hand, Li Jiao saw the reflection that stared back at her from the mirror, it was a delicate beauty whose eyes sparkled like gems .

"Li Jiao, I don"t know how I came to possess your body, but there is someone I need to kill, even if it means the destruction of your clan . Although, I feel sorry towards you, my soul will know no peace until he dies by my hand!"

Feeling convinced by the thought, that her action was right, a cruel smile appeared on her face, such that the maids in the room took a couple of steps away from where she was . Never in all the years they had served by the sect leader"s daughter, did an expression of such intense hate show on her face . They both wore on their faces a baffled expression, turning around to prepare their Young Miss bath .Carefully settling the sect leaders daughter on her bed, Xu Hui watched her father pace up and down her bedchamber, uncertain about how to address him in the new body she was residing currently .
