The Chang'an County Master, angered to embarrassment by the laughter, whipped out her soft whip and slapped it onto the table with a pop, the loud sound startling Mo Yan.
"Gentlemen use their words, not their hands. Don't you start acting up!" Although Mo Yan knew she would not really whip him, the sight of the dark, thick whip still made him falter, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut, "I'm saying, have you ever thought about changing, um, this habit of snapping the whip whenever something displeases you?"
Chang'an County Master glanced at Mo Yan and said righteously, "This princess has never used the whip on innocent people, why should I change?"
