"Sect Leader Li, I look forward to seeing you at the a.s.sembly of sect leaders.""Humph!"
That was s.h.i.+ Yunxu"s way of saying that it was time that the YuanLi sect leader take his leave. Angry at being dismissed before he said so himself, Li Guoliang tossed the letter to the floor and stormed out of the hall of ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect.
The disciple that came in with the letter witnessed all that took place, could not meet the eye of his young master"s because of how he was badly treated by Li Guoliang.
"One of these days, his angry would be his ruin!"
Who knew what the words that s.h.i.+ Yunxu spoke would one day come to pa.s.s, because the YuanLi sect leader would come face to face with something that would try him.
---------------
Li Guoliang landed in front of the gate that led into the YuanLi sect, the disciples that kept watch bowed in reverence when they sighted their sect leader.
"Sect Leader Li!"
They remained that way, until he had successfully gone through the gate of the sect.
"Greetings Sect Leader Li!"
Several maids that were around the vicinity bowed in respect to Li Guoliang.
"Where is Jiao"er?!"
"Sect Leader Li. Young miss Li asked that no one disturb her sleep."
"She is sleeping?! But it"s noon?!"
"Young miss Li went out...Ha!"
The maid that spoke to Li Guoliang had her foot stepped on by another maid. It was then that the sect leader"s eyes narrowed.
"What is it?"
"It is nothing, Sect leader Li!"
"What do you mean by nothing?!"
"Young miss Li only went out to take some fresh air."
The maid that was stopped, resumed speaking by altering the words she initially wanted to tell Li Guoliang.
"Speak up! What happened while I was gone?!"
"One of the disciples came to ask Young Miss Li.....to meet with....the Fox Prince."
"Fox Prince?! Did the Fox King ever have a son?!"
Hearing their sect leader question the ident.i.ty of the visitor that came to see their young mistress made the maids quiver in fear. "Who was the person that came to see young miss Li?!"
They didn"t need to voice the thought in their head, but it was written all over their faces.
"Tell me, what did they do? Who received him?!"
Li Guoliang was furious that someone had come to see his daughter without him being around to know who it was, "What if it was a demon?!"
The thought came out of nowhere in the mind of the YuanLi sect leader.
"No! It can"t be true! Every disciple is trained well not to allow just anyone into the grounds of the sect. I"m just being sensitive because of the news about demons going from sect to sect murdering people!"
The YuanLi sect leader tried to convince himself that he was only overthinking when it came to his daughter, little did he know that he was right on the spot in his perception.
