Fu Zian kept looking at the female cultivator that flew ahead of him, his mind was in disarray. He didn't know what to think of the preposterous words that she suggested to him. Looking at her made him want to pull out his hair in frustration, he didn't know if he could put of the pretense of her being the daughter of his sect leader.
”Who would believe me, if I told them that she was not Li Jiao?!”
He could already see the faces of the disciples at his sect laughter at him, there was no way he would ever be able to lift his head again around them and his sect leader. Depending on how the YuanLi sect leader took it, he could have his senior disciple caned to death or even sent of the sect to never return.
”Which sect would ever take me? Definitely not GuBaiJin or ShenJiangShi! WuYangChen would be my last resort, but would they even think of taking someone that was discarded by a sect like the YuanLi sect? I don't know anymore!”
The senior disciple of the YuanLi sect shook his head as the last thought filtered through his mind, to dispel the dismal notion of becoming a reject by the other prominent sects.
Fu Zian could not think of allying himself with any sect that was below those three, even if he wanted to lower his standards a little, the BaoXu sect that he would have probably joined was no more.
Meanwhile, Xu Hui could sense the turmoil coming from the cultivator that was behind her, she kept moving through the air unconcerned by what could have been troubling the senior disciple of the YuanLi sect.
The two were drawing closer to where the sect was, before Xu Hui motioned with her hand for them to cease flying and instead walk the rest of the way back to the sect.
”Senior Fu Zian don't you think we should walk rather than fly into the courtyard?! Surely you don't want my father knowing that I came back with one of his male disciples and alone for that matter with none of my maids with us.”
Fu Zian looked at the innocent eyes that stared back at him, still reeling from the shock of the secret she would have withheld from him had he not stumbled upon it by chance. He blamed himself for being a coward and not mustering the courage to expose her deceit to the sect leader.
”As you wish lady Li, but isn't it too late for that, since we already flew by the market place.”
