Bab 131: Old Friend

The servant had an agonized look but he dared not disobey. The contract of these servants were in Master Shuo’s hands and if they offended Master Shuo, there were ways for Master Shuo to torture them to a living death experience, and the local authorities would have no way of looking into it. The servant carefully approached the loquat tree. Once he was within ten, twenty feet away, nothing happened. He then walked directly to the tree and stood beneath it. The servant got bolder when he realized nothing happened and he touched the tree trunk of the loquat tree.

"Ouch!"

Master Shuo looked at Shen Lian suspiciously, as though saying whether he had worked it out or not.

Then, he heard the servant said, "Master, I’m fine. It was just a prick."

He saw no thorns on the tree trunk, why would he get pricked? The servant really could not understand.
