Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 251: One Misstep Followed By Countless Mistakes

Xiahou Chengqin entered the place with the elders, her face calm and confident all the way.

Cecily spared her a glance, then looked towards Gu Xiqiao nervously. She was feeling anxious on her behalf, the sweat sliding down her face.

Gu Xiqiao didn’t let Jiang Shuxuan take off his clothes, and tore a hole in it from the back instead. She looked at the deep wound on his back, and some white of the bone that could be seen from it. She stood still, staring at it without a word. Her eyes were heavy as she looked at it.

Xiahou Chengqin thought that Gu Xiqiao had stopped because she was scared, and she laughed lightly, “Let me do it instead. You’re still young, it’s still reasonable that you won’t be able to treat this.”

The elders around her were also laughing mockingly. “Mistress Sorceress, why bother to tell her so much. Let her know that there are always people who are better than them out in the world, she really thinks that she can compare to you, what kind of thinking is that? Other than you, there’s no one else who can heal this injury. I don’t know what Young Master Jiang is thinking, letting that girl treat him!”

“With Young Master Jiang’s attitude, we will know the truth later. I’m sure it’ll be interesting,” The other elder said, shaking his head as though he could already foresee the future.

The other elders all agreed with his words.

It was just a young little girl, what kind of capabilities would she have? Can it be any better than the sorceress of their Lisu Tribe?

Xiahou Chengqin’s mood eased at the elders’ words, and she turned to look at Gu Xiqiao, pity in her eyes. She watched the girl take out a set of silver needles, and she shook her head at that. “Evil spirits can’t be banished with silver needles. Young Master Jiang’s condition is complicated and you can’t simply insert needles into him, otherwise even I can’t help him at that time.”

Saying that, she looked to Yi Tong and Yi Bing, hoping that they would come forward to support her words, but she didn’t expect that the two would stand on Gu Xiqiao’s sides, blocking off Xiahou Chengqin’s path to her. This made Xiahou Chengqin shocked, and she said vehemently under her breath, “Such pigheadedness, just wait till you start crying!”

Cecily heard the words that she had uttered, and felt even more uneasy. She took a step forward. “Qiao Qiao, maybe it’s better if you let her treat this wound. This is not something to joke about.” Having said that, she looked at the wound on Jiang Shuxuan’s back, and felt more panic when she saw it. It was just a deep wound, and a very dense malicious aura around it. How could a regular person treat this?

Gu Xiqiao raised her head to look at Cecily, and seeing that it was concern that was reflecting in the other’s eyes, a hint of warmth entered her eyes and she relaxed.

Without saying anything more, her hands plunged a silver needle into one of his acupoints.

Xiahou Chengqin saw that Gu Xiqiao had really inserted a needle, and a disapproving look appeared on her face. She shook her head and sighed. Seeing that Yi Bing and Yi Tiao hadn’t made any move to stop her, she bit her lip, her eyes still mocking. She didn’t believe that there were other people in the world who could control the malicious auras, and so she coldly laughed inside as she watched Gu Xiqiao work. With a sneer, she noted that Gu Xiqiao was only using needles for her treatment, and the ridicule in her face just got more intense.

As a sorceress of the tribe, she was revered and admired by the people in the tribe. She didn’t use to be such a jealous and bitter person as she was now, but when she saw the gaze that Jiang Shuxuan had given Gu Xiqiao, she couldn’t control herself.
