Chapter 434: Recruiting More Disciples! [3]
’Why does their interaction look weird? Are they really just mother and son?’ Ma Li, who saw their interaction from the back, frowned, feeling a small pain in her heart.
But soon she snapped out of her daze, seeing them walking inside, and rushed after them.
A little far away from the main gates was a small stall that served tea and food to its customers.
Sitting on one of the benches of the stall, a man cloaked in black robes looked in the direction of the three of them walking inside the gates, his expression and facial features hidden under the shadow of the hood.
*Crack!*
The man moved for the first time and cracked the teacup in his hands. Without saying anything, he dropped a silver tael on the table and walked away from the table.
The stall owner wanted to yell at the man for breaking his cup, but seeing the price of silver on the table, he jumped at it and started kissing it as if it were his newborn baby.
"Come again soon, dear customer!" He turned around to wave off the man, but he could not find him anywhere.
***
*Clatter!*
*Distant screams*
"Ugh... What’s happening outside, what’s the commotion?" A groggy and husky voice echoed inside one of the many rooms in the estate. The room was a total mess, with broken furniture everywhere, and robes belonging to men and women lying around the room.
In the middle of the room, a bed covered with a silver silk sheet rustled as a person rose up from the bed.
If someone looked at the appearance of the man, many people would debate whether he was alive or dead.
His skin was so dehydrated that it had caved inside a little. Sleeping beside him was a naked beauty covered in silk sheets.
She lay there with a satisfied expression on her face, deep in her dreams. They were none other than Ma Mingli and Shi Jie.
"Just who is it?" The City Lord groaned once more and glanced at her sleeping wife before adding, "I just hope they don’t get too loud or—"
"What is someone in your condition doing here screaming like that?" Hearing the same voice speak once more, Shi Jie snapped out of her daze.
"Shi Jie!" She turned around, hearing the loud screams of her husband from a distance.
It appeared as if Ma Mingli had also broken through in these years and managed to make his way to the Core Formation realm.
He flew towards the two of them, fully recovered from his... ailments.
"Long Tian...?" Upon arriving closer to them, Ma Mingli muttered in confusion, seeing the masked man behind his wife.
Hearing her words, Shi Jie looked at Noah closely and realized who he was.
"The guards said that Shi Jie did not have any child, so we barged inside. Hope you don’t mind." Noah waved his hand at the City Lord and spoke calmly as if he had just walked inside a locked garden.
"What...?" Shi Jie turned around and saw that it was her daughter being surrounded by the guards along with Xin Yan.
"What are you doing? Back away!" Shi Jie screamed once more after seeing their actions.
"What are you doing? I just told you not to get worked up. It’s not good for you." Noah sighed and moved once more before moving closer to Shi Jie.
Placing his hand on her shoulder, he disappeared along with her, scaring Ma Mingli.
"How fast..." Fortunately, he saw them reappear on the ground and followed after them. ’But what did he mean by screaming was not good for her? She was born screaming. Maybe she will live her whole life screaming...’
Scared by his own thoughts, Mingli immediately dismissed them.
"Li’er! What are you doing here?" Seeing the guards backing away with a scared expression, Ma Li looked at her mother and rushed to hug her.
"Is it true?" Shi Jie was surprised by her daughter’s sudden affection, and then, hearing her question, she wondered what was going on.
Clueless, she was about to ask what was happening, but someone else interrupted her.
"Congratulations, Shi Jie!" Xin Yan walked towards the woman with a warm smile and added, "I am happy that you are going to experience the joy of being a mother once more!"
