Rebirth of a Villainess

Shi Yixing a senior disciple of the ShenJiangShi sect stood in front of the doorto the bedchamber belonging to the sect leader's son, waiting to be calling in by his servants. He waited outside for some time before the door slid back and instead of being shown in by a servant, he was met at the door by the sect's physician, whom he curtsied in greeting to.

"You have come to see young master Shi?"

"Greetings Physician Shen Chunqiu. Shi Yixing has a message from Sect leader Shi for young master Shi."

The young physician stretched his head as his eyes roamed round the courtyard to see if anyone other than the senior disciple was at the courtyard of Shi Yunxu. After a while, he stepped back for the disciple to come in, noiselessly sliding the door close behind them. Before this time, Shi Yunxu had been suffering from agonizing pain from the deep cut to his abdomen, after making the disciples that went on the night hunt with him to swear to secrecy, he had them get Physician Shen Chunqiu to sew his abdomen with golden invisible thread, who then applied medicinal herbs to the sutured skin, but all these came with a lot of pain and tears. On getting in, Shi Yixing gave a formal bow to the young master of the ShenJiang Shi sect.

"Greetings young master Shi."

Shi Yixing wasn't too surprised to see the young master of the ShenJiangShi sect lie in bed, after all he had to waste his energy to go to where he usually had morning lessons only to be told that the disciple he was looking for was in his bedchambers. His first thought was that he was skipping morning lessons, it wasn't until Shi Yunxu pulled aside the yellow quilt, did he see the bandage of white wrapped around his abdomen. His fair jade skin looked somewhat pale, a slight grimace appeared on his face, as though he was biting back from any outward show of pain.

"Young master Shi why do you have something around her waist?"

"Shi Yixing, promise me that this would not reach the ears of my father!"

"I promise to keep my mouth shut and not let out what I saw in your chambers to Sect leader Shi."

"Why did he send you to me?"

"Young master Shi, your father wants you to speak on his behalf to sect leader Li."

"Did Sect leader Li tell you the reason for being here?"

"No young master Shi, he refused to talk about the nature of his visit in details, only saying that it is of great importance."

"If not because his sect is still one of the leading sects, I would have sent you back to him to have myself excused. He is so pompous! Even taking our best Physician to his sect, leaving us with the son instead, as if the two of them could compare! Let just me get this over with!"

Shi Yunxu stood up from the bed, the physician passed his robes to him, they both watched as he got himself ready to meet with the YuanLi sect leader.
