Chapter 701: Killed By His Highness Within A Second

Old Lady Wang felt like something was beyond her control.

The man did not even look at her. Instead, he turned his handsome face to the side, and bit the black glove on his hand. At that moment, an ancient Sanskrit hymn seemed to sound in the distance as black feathers slowly fell to the ground, one by one. Malevolence emanated from him, causing all the dark creatures to tremble.

All Old Lady Wang saw was a flash of his silhouette, then in the blink of an eye, his hand had penetrated the hearts of five hostile ghosts. The hostile ghosts screamed as if something had burned them, after which they quickly dissolved into a pool of black water!

Upon doing that, Baili Jia Jue frowned slightly. He then took off his gloves and tossed them aside, all the while maintaining an elegant demeanor.

It was as though he was not killing hostile ghosts, but had instead touched something dirty, thus needing to clean his hands.

Not only Wang Ling, even Old Lady Wang, who was no longer a living person, began to shudder violently. She was filled with fear for the man in front of them!

The fact that they were so powerful came as a shock to her. His methods were even more ruthless than her, to kill as he pleased, as though anyone or any ghost was just a plaything to him.

“Are, are you an exorcist?” This was the only answer that Old Lady Wang could think of.

But she felt like that was not the case, because the air that this man exuded was nothing like the holiness of a young master, instead, he radiated an ancient form of evil along with his elegance.

The evil sensation made her legs weak, all she wanted to do was kneel down and worship him!

However, the man just looked at her casually, as if she had no right to speak to him.

Of course, Helian Wei Wei knew that His Highness could deal with any evil spirits if he went into action, but in order to completely destroy the source of the infection, she must first find those missing girls first!

Although up until now, Helian Wei Wei still did not know what methods Old Lady Wang had used to create an aura of resentment that could infect evil spirits.

The one thing she was certain was that it must be related to the missing girls.

She must find them quickly.

That was because a large number of hostile ghosts would be coming soon. Once Old Lady Wang has control over them, the officers outside would most likely be possessed!

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes were tensed while her expression turned cold. “Old Lady Wang, now is the time to tell me your choice. Hand those girls over, otherwise, my next cut will not be so gentle.”

“Why, why do you all treat us like this?!” Old Lady Wang knew that she could not defeat them with her son being held hostage by them. She shouted hysterically, “Why don’t you go and get yourselves involved with those big cases, why must you care about us?! Even if you want to arrest someone, just arrest me, what does this have to do with my son?! He’s going to be a top scholar in the future!”

Helian Wei Wei glanced at Old Lady Wang and said indifferently, “He will not become a top scholar.”

“What did you say?!” Old Lady Wang’s eyes suddenly turned fierce!

Helian Wei Wei patted Wang Ling’s face with the dagger. “There are countless more people like him in the War Dragon Dynasty, and they are more talented, hardworking and determined compared to him, so why should he be the top scholar?”

“You are just the same as those girls, all you do is be mean to my son and talk bad about him! He is filial and studies hard. Why can’t he be the top scholar? It’s because you think we’re poor, and you all despise the poor and favor the rich. You know no shame, so you trample on us like that! All of you should go to hell!” Old Lady Wang really wanted to strangle the person before her to death!

Helian Wei Wei sneered. “During the drought, those people at the border were much poorer than you, they couldn’t even eat, yet they never complained like you. Since you have so much free time, you might as well think about how to improve yourselves. First of all, if you want others to think highly of you, you have to be worthy. Ever since he was little, he has never even earned a single penny by himself, everything was inseparable from you, his mother, yet he was so proud of himself. Both of you are so funny, you always turn your nose up at others and discriminate the girls, yet you expect them to marry your son. If the girls reject you, you grumble that they despise the poor and favor the rich. Even if that’s the case, you should first live your own life well, then only blame others. Even if your son becomes a top scholar, he won’t be a good official. Don’t even talk about having a mother like you, with his selfish and narrow-minded personality, if something bad happens, he would never find fault with himself. Plus, his jealousy is so strong that it’s terrifying, sooner or later there will be problems.”

“How dare you say that about my son! Sooner or later there will be problems? Jealousy so strong that it’s terrifying? My son is the kindest and most righteous person in the world, you’re just jealous of my son!” The more Old Lady Wang spoke, the more agitated she got. She had even taken a step forward.

Helian Wei Wei looked at the fluttering curtain on the bed mantle behind Old Lady Wang and her eyes flashed, but her tone was still very calm. “It doesn’t matter if one is poor or rich, the most important thing is how a parent teaches their child. Old Lady Wang, you always tell Wang Ling about how this girl is b*tchy, how that boy only uses money to oppress people, and that will easily affect Wang Ling who stays by your side. Children are just like their parents, because what they say and do have an impact on them. Did you say your son is kind and righteous? A truly kind and righteous person would not let his mother kill others. Old Lady Wang, if I’m not mistaken, you should have died a long time ago, before winter. You are nothing more than a corpse now.”

“You!” This is the second time that Old Lady Wang was shocked by the things that happened today. “How did you know?” When she heard about Zhang Ling’er and second Young Master Zhang, she caught a cold that night. Soon after, Old Lady Zhang came knocking on her door to ridicule her, saying that her Ah Ling had nothing, and yet he kept pestering and clinging onto Ling’er, looking like a toad. She said that they should have some foresight to cancel the engagement as soon as possible, so to save face for both families. Everyone in the alley knew about the scandal concerning the Wang family, thus her illness became even more serious. Within two days, she started coughing up blood and her soul left her body. At this moment, a man clad in a white robe entered. She had never seen such a gentle young master, and when he asked her if she wanted to give those who looked down on them the lessons they deserved, of course she wanted to. She wanted to do so even in her dreams!

Not only did she want those villains punished, she wanted to see her son marry and have children!

The young master did not ask her for anything in return, and instead he just taught her how to commit the crime…
