Rebirth Of A Villainess 136 Banquet 22

"Lady Li, refrain from drawing any unnecessary attention. We are both here to represent Sect Leader Li, please keep that in mind while we are here."

Fu Zian eyes sparked with the exasperation he felt towards the woman that acted as the daughter of his sect leader, the Li Jiao that he knew would not have done what the BaoXu sect disciple did while in the gathering of so many people. 

The demon lord turned to look at the man that was critizing Xu Hui, he didn't like the way the other was speaking to her and this showed in the way his fists tightened on his lap.

Left to him, he would have permanently silence the mouth of the man that sat next to him, but that would make the people in the room to realize who he was, wrecking havoc on the peaceful gathering.

Xu Hui chose not to say a word after she heard what the senior disciple from the YuanLi sect said, if it were any other person, they would have felt ashamed that he was talking down to her out in the open, rather than shame the BaoXu sect disciple felt a numbness inside of her, even after going to what used to be her sect, she hadn't fully accepted what occured.

"Sect Leader Chen, is Lady Chen in her right mind? How could she turn down Lady Jin?! Right under the nose of Sect Leader Jin!"

"Maybe she hasn't recovered from her illness as the rumor says!"

"Why did she have to come, if it is to make the YuanLi sect lose face!"

"I'm sure Lady Li has her reasons for showing up, it is her duty after all to go where her father can't."

Chen Yueming smiled as he turned slightly to converse with the men behind him. The woman behind the veil watched from the corner of her eyes at the men in red and white robes of the WuYangChen sect and the woman that was in a robe of similar color on the other side of the hall.

After she came back to life, Xu Hui gained exceptional hearing and could pick out what was said from across the table from her, a pouch of red and gold embroidery hung from the side of her robes. Reaching into them, the BaoXu sect disciple took out what looked to be round crimson stones.

"Sect Leader Chen, I know you no longer belong to the BaoXu sect, but their death must be quiet a blow to you."

Jin Ruimin had a sympathetic look in his eyes, as he waited to hear what the other had to say.

"As the sect leader of the WuYangChen sect, it is unfitting to speak of another sect even though I came out of there."
