The mockery and scorn in their laughter brought a hint of anger to the pale face of the Imam Manali, only to be quickly subdued.
Liu Shock laughed the loudest, not because he wanted to, but because he did it on purpose.
"Tell me, why were you able to see through my 'Concealment Technique' at a glance?" Imam Manali's gaze tightened, staring intensely at Liu Shock, his eyes piercing.
"It's because you have a pissy smell about you, eunuchs all have that scent," Liu Shock said maliciously, "and yours is particularly strong."
"Ha ha ha..." The cacophony of laughter erupted once again.
"Is it that funny?" Master Puskas looked at his juniors with a squinting eye.
All laughter stopped abruptly.
"I apologize, Master Manali, the children are often thoughtless; please don't take offense," the Great Mage Saint Chiao said, rising slowly, nodding respectfully to the Imam and looking with a clear and sincere gaze.
