Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Apple Does Not Fall Far From The Tree!
"What is the weeping whip?"
Noah looked at the girl beside him and could not help but ask. Hearing his words, Ma Li was a little surprised that someone didn't know what it was...
"Weeping Whip is...." Ma Li started explaining about the whip while leading him through the hallway. The servants bowed wherever they passed through.
Noah's eyes gained clarity hearing the explanation about the whip.
"Although this sounds like a good whip, it becomes useless against the body cultivators." Noah immediately saw through the flaws of the whip surprising Ma Li.
After conversing with Noah for a while she found out he was an easy going person to talk to as long as you do not annoy him or act like a brat in front of him, it was exactly what she did before.
It was a change of pace for her to talk to him, it was like she found a friend to talk to freely without worrying about anything.
"Indeed, my father said the same. He told me that body cultivators are all masochists. They don't fear pain, instead they love it. It is like an award to punish them with this whip." Saying this, Ma Li's face changed as she thought of something and muttered. "I wonder If father is also a body cultivator."
"Pfft!"
Noah's lips twitched hearing her words, the serious pondering look on her face made him chuckle out loud.
She looked like she found out some kind of secret. Hearing his laughter Ma Li's face flushed as increased the pace of her steps.
Hearing his reply, Ma Li's face lost its smiles as she looked a little sad. She wanted to spend more time with her friend. But hearing his words, a light of determination ignited in the depths of her heart.
She knew that she had to get stronger as soon as possible, after all she did not want to be a burden for him in the domain. She also wants to go into secluded cultivation as soon as possible and make a breakthrough.
"Shall we go back now?" Noah asked softly, if Xin Yan wanted to stay here he would not mind staying a little longer but they had already stayed there for hours.
"Yeah, let's go back! I got so engrossed in the talk that I failed to notice the passage of time." Xin Yan exclaimed with a little shocked expression, she really did not notice the passage of time in their conversation. It was dusk by the time Noah arrived along with Ma Li.
"What are you in so much hurry for? why not stay for the day at our home! you can go back in the morning." Shi Jie tried to persuade them to stay for the night but Xin Yan shook her head and declined her offer politely.
"Sister Shi, I will definitely visit you again next time but I am afraid I won't be able to stay the night."
Noah and Ma Li stayed quiet as the women started exchanging a few pleasantries. After some time, Noah and Xin Yan left the city lord's mansion.
Seeing their disappearing back in the distance the smile on Shi Jie's smile disappeared as she turned to look at her daughter.
"I didn't know my daughter has voyeurism habits."
"..." Ma Li paled, hearing her mother's words. Naturally Shi Jie heard everything they were talking about. She could not help but gulp her saliva in fear, she did not think her mother would have the habit of spying on others.
As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
