"No! City Lord forgive !! Not the weeping Whip!! Please!!!"
The guard who was dragging Xu Kai away did not care about his actions or words. He fulfilled his orders by dragging him out.
The Weeping Whip was a peak Tier 2 weapon, also one of the tools that City Lord specially commissioned the Eternal Jade Guild to make for him.
The weapons were used to punish the criminals in the city. Since several of the criminals were cultivators he had to put in so resources to create this weapon for him.
One Whip from this weapon could peel off the skins of cultivators while also making them feel more pain than usual.
The Whip was purposely made so that it wouldn't do more damage than intended. Everyone ca to fear the punishnt of the weeping Whip.
Whoever was punished with this whip always ca out crying, which was also the reason it got that na.
"Dad!"
Just as Xu Kai was being dragged out of the room, a beautiful girl ran inside the room.
Dawned in a beautiful light blue dress, she rushed to jump in the man's arms. Her cyan-colored hair, the sa as her father's, flowed in the air as she moved. There was a hint of mischief in her phoenix eyes. She was the only daughter of the city lord, which is why she was doted on all the ti.
At the sight of his daughter, a sweet smile appeared on Ma Mingli's face.
"Li'er what are you doing here?"
"I just ca to et my dear father~ By the way what happened to the eyes of that lecherous guy?"
Ma Mingli's mind imdiately recalled the bandage on Xu Kai's face. In the heat of the mont, he failed to realize that before.
Turning to his commander, he silently asked for answers.
"That... City Lord.."
Gu Jin cast a worried gaze at Ma Li, the daughter of the city lord. He was a little afraid that she might not be able to bear the details of the grueso acts of the fearful woman.
If by chance his words traumatized the poor girl Ma Mingli and his wife would definitely kill him.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Jin explained a censored version of the story. He kept the details to the minimum.
While he secretly told the details to the city lord using qi transmission.
There was a shocked look on both of their faces and the reason for their shock was different. Ma Li was the first one to co out of her shock.
"Hmph, that guy really deserved it. He was even looking at with that lecherous look of his in the previous gathering."
She cured Xu Kai after hearing his deeds, while she also noticed the dazed look on her father's face.
Ma Mingli wondered why Ma Ning would be present in that place when there was no reason for him to be there.
'Tell Gu Jin what those won looked like.'
He suddenly rembered that about the person who suddenly ca to visit him along with Ma Ning.
She was also the supervisor sent by the main branch to look over them.
Hearing the question Gu Jin looked at the city lord with a weird look, seemingly misunderstanding the reason behind his question.
Even though he was thinking that, he had to answer it since it was the city lord who asked. It had nothing to do with what he did in his personal ti.
'One was a mature-looking black-haired woman while the other looked younger but had light purple hair.'
He gave a rough description of what the woman looked like, hearing about the color of her hair a knowing light through his eyes and he imdiately understood why Ma Ning was there.
'Lord, Do you want to investigate them?'
Seeing the light flashing in his eyes, Gu Jin's misunderstanding deepened and he asked again.
To his surprise, the city lord shook his head. Gu Jin was sure of his guess after what he heard in the next sentence from the city lord.
'Make sure no one causes trouble for them in the future. They would be my enemy if they did.'
After thinking about it for a while Gu Jin bowed and left the room to the father-daughter.
"So it turns out that the city lord wants to approach those won in secret while keeping the others away from them."
Coming out of the hall, Gu Jin exclaid with a look that looked like he seed to have solved so kind of mystery.
"Or maybe he had already been in a relationship with them and wanted to keep it a secret."
"Ho~ why don't you tell about these won in detail?!"
Hearing the familiar enchanting voice, Gu Jin froze in fear and looked back in fear.
"..Mistress!"
He bowed in respect seeing a beautiful woman standing behind him, she was none other than the City Lord's only wife.
Right now she was looking at him with a smile that resembled the one that he saw on the woman that stabbed Xu Kai in the eyes.
He gulped unconsciously rembering the scene once again. Not wanting to be the one suffering under the hands of such a woman, Gu Jin hurriedly told her everything that the City Lord asked him to do.
"Ho-ho~ looks like I need to have a long chat with my husband right now."
Her chilling voice was left in the air as the woman disappeared before Gu Jin could even notice.
"I am sorry for the betrayal, Lord!"
He bowed once again and this ti in the direction of the main hall before leaving, like giving a last salute to his lord.
.

"Li'er dear could you leave us alone? I need to have a personal chat with your dad~"
As soon as the woman entered the room, she asked her daughter to leave. Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Ma Mingli felt a chill running down his spine.
He wanted to hold back his daughter from leaving but he was too late as Ma Li left the room with a slight blush on her face.
Only god knows what she was thinking, her mother was so busy staring at her husband that she failed to notice the look on her daughter's face.
There was a wildfire burning in her eyes causing Ma Mingli to pray for his life. He did not know what he had to deserve what was about to happen but he was sure she was in no mood to listen.
