Chapter 146: Chapter 146: No Respect For The City Lord!
"Have you joined any sect?" Xin Yan's sudden question caused the whole family to be puzzled. They all thought, what did her having to enter the mysterious domain had to do with her being a disciple of the sect?
"No, Lady Xin, I will be joining the sect after I come out of the domain. Why do you ask?"
"No special reason, I just wanted to give you some advice. Do not join Heaven soaring sect or The frozen heart sect."
Even though Xin Yan spoke gently like an elder guiding a junior, Shi Jie could not help but feel there was a deeper meaning behind her words, not just the mother but Ma Li also felt the same. She couldn't help feeling a little warmth hearing her warm and caring tone.
She felt Xin Yan was even more gentler than her mother. If Shi Jie knew what unfilial thought her daughter was having she might feel like teaching her a lesson or two.
Although there was no plastic in this world, slippers were still the greatest weapon, especially the ones made out of wood.
"Even though I do not plan to join them, thank you for the advice lady Xin Yan. but can you tell me why you do not want me to join them?" Shi Jie and Ma Mingli froze hearing her daughter being so daring and respectful towards Xin Yan.
They both thought, can she not be careless with such a powerful woman? Why did she have to come out of her cold role, couldn't she stay cold right now?
"Fu-fu~ You can call me Aunty Xin dear." Xin Yan smiled warmly and started to explain why she said those words. "The Heaven soaring sect is full of idiots while the frozen heart sect is full of feminist women who act like they are a cult that hates men for some reason or another."
If Yu Ming was here, she would have definitely called Xin Yan unfair, she made her call herself sister but now she was asking this girl to call her Aunty!
As Xin Yan explained her 'reasoning' let alone the city lord's family even Noah was stunned. Even though her way of explaining the situation was quite unique, her words were true. Noah was only surprised because he did not think that Xin Yan would be aware of the term 'Feminist'.
But then he guessed it must be because of a certain green hired, big breasted idiot. She must have corrupted lovely Xin Yan with her 'ways'.
"Feminist?"
Hearing the unfamiliar term, Ma Li looked at Xin Yan with confusion.
"I will tell you about it later when we enter the domain." Before Xin Yan could get deeper into explanation and gave the author some trouble, Noah stopped her by interjecting in the conversation.
"In these two months, I hope you can train well. Even though I will protect you, it's best to rely on oneself than on others.".
Hearing Noah's words, Ma Li nodded seriously. She also agreed with Noah's words, she always believed in her own strength rather than waiting for someone to save her.
Seeing her daughter's determined gaze Ma Mingli felt a little conflicted, while his wife on the other hand smiled seeing her like that.
"Lady Xin, do you have any interest in flower gardening and maintenance?" Shi Jie asked carefully, trying to get along with her.
To her surprise, Xin Yan smiled gently at her and replied. "I love it, I have a small garden in the place we bought. I planted a few flowers there.."
"My-my~ is that so? Why don't I show you my own garden? I am sure you will love it." Shi Jie smiled widely and dragged Xin Yan out of the room with her.
Xin Yan did not mind as she also had a similar hobby and was happy to have someone to share it with.
Ma Mingli was trembling in fear. He was scared of her wife offending someone like Xin Yan.
"I am sorry about that, Mother always gets like that when she talks about her hobbies with someone who also has them."
Ma Li was not surprised by her mother's enthusiastic approach. She laughed dryly while apologizing to Noah.
"There is no need to apologize, she is the same. I am happy that she found someone to share her hobbies with."
Noah waved his hands and said with a warm smile. The smile caused Ma Li to blush a little.
She could not deny that she found the boy a little handsome. His looks could not compare to any boy she has ever seen. Even her own father fell short in terms of looks in front of him.
"???"
Ma Mingli narrowed his eyes, seeing that he was forgotten by everyone.
'Who is the City Lord here!!!'
He could not help but scream in his mind. He felt that something was wrong seeing Ma Li blushing and smiling at the boy who she should be angry with.
"Ma-"
"Aren't You the City Lord! Go do some work! Don't stand there and waste your time."
Before he could even utter a single word, the door of the room suddenly opened and a head peeked inside and started yelling at him.
(A/N: looks like he got his answer, hehe…)
It was none other than his wife, after speaking she closed the door again.
Ma Mingli just started at the door with a look that would make others think that he was bullied by someone.
"Dad, you should just go before she comes back."
Seeing the dazed look on her father, Ma Li shooed him away with the wave of her hand.
Noah's lips twitched seeing that poor guy had no respect in his own home. He did not know whether to pity or be disgusted by the guy.
The city Lord was speechless when he caught the trace of disdain towards him in the eyes of the boy.
'How dare you look at me with disdain boy?? I am acting like this so I save my life. let's see how you act like when you get married!!.'
Ma Mingli screamed in his heart, he wanted to say something but remembering the smile on her wife's face, he grumbled under his breath before leaving. Maybe he was a little wimpy but so what? his wife loved him for it!
He did not know how wrong he was!!
