Rebirth Of A Villainess - 128 Banquet 14

Shi Yunxu stared wide eyed at person that was almost as close as a brother to him, it was as though a veil that covered his sight was suddenly taken off and he could now see clearly.

“It’s true, Sect Leader Li usually comes at me with harsh words, but other sect leaders praise me and even speak kindly to me.”

The young master of the ShenJiangShi sect slowly voiced out the thought in his head, as he suddenly realized that the YuanLi sect leader may not be all that terrible as he initially thought.

“Now you see what I have been trying to point out to you!”

Shi Haikuan patted the shoulder of his friend, lauding him for finally gaining insight into what he had been drumming into his ears for some time.

“During the banquet, if he says blistering words to you, accept them and later when you come back I want you to examine them and find out the meaning behind his words to you.”

Shi Yunxu nodded solemnly as he listened to the advise of his friend.

“Sect Leader Li means well.”

“Yes, he does. That’s why you can you this gain some wealth of knowledge from him while others talk about mundane things.”

“Alright, I’ll keep what you said to heart and listen to Sect Leader Li. Are you going to be coming along with me?”

“You’re the acting sect leader, do you want me to join you at the hall of glaze?!”

The two youths smiled back at each other in comradery.

“What would you be wearing for the banquet of tomorrow?”

Shi Haikuan drew his friend back to an important part of the next day’s festivity.

“I’ll have the maids that serve under my attend to that!”

“What if you were given a dull color to put on?”

Shi Haikuan could speak casually to his younger master within the closed doors of the other’s chambers, but outside the two had to maintain a formal way of addressing each other to avoid drawing criticism from the elders in the sect.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

“I’ll have to put them on, isn’t the position of a sect leader meant to be uninteresting and full of soul draining duties!”

“Speaking of soul draining duties, how far have you gone in your training?!”

It was then that the young master of the ShenJiangShi sect went to sit by an hassock by his desk.

“I’m having difficulty moving past the level that I’m in, Physician Shen said that it is because I am obsessing over something.”

Shi Haikuan could see the dispirited look on the face of his friend, this made him hurry to give him a word of encouragement.

“Knowing what the problem is means that it is half solved, since Physician Shen said you are extensively pondering over an issue, do you know what it could be?!”

“I think it has to do with what not liking the way others see me, most especially Sect Leader Li. Also, I fear that I may not be as good as father was!”

“Give it a try again, after you return from the banquet. This time, you would see an improvement should you accept to move forward and ignore any self-doubt in your heart. I’ll be going to my room to rest.”

“Alright A-Kuan! We will talk later!”

The two bade each other farewell as Shi Haikuan firmly closed the door behind him.
