Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Punishing the Evil Servant

Upon hearing Wang Lang’s words, Wang Ruoxie sneered inwardly. Did he really think he was still the old Wang Ruoxie, weak and inferior, allowing himself to be bullied?

If it were the old him, perhaps he would still fear the majesty of the Lady, might even kneel and admit his guilt.

But now, he has awakened the memories of his past life; even the Sovereign of the East Victory Kingdom has no right to make him kneel.

“A vile servant harming the master, I shall teach you a lesson on the Lady’s behalf now.”

Wang Ruoxie spoke coldly, his body suddenly shuddering.

In nearly an instant, he appeared in front of Wang Lang, then lifted his fist and smashed it towards him.

“Then I beg your forgiveness, Seventh Young Master.”

Wang Lang sneered; although the Lady instructed him to suppress this Seventh Young Master, it wasn’t good to directly attack since the other party was his master anyway.

But now, since the other party struck first, it was hard to blame him.

Instantly, Wang Lang also punched fiercely, unleashing the power of the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering Realm to its fullest.

“Bang!”

In the next moment, the fists of the two collided fiercely.

With a muffled groan, Wang Lang’s body was sent flying backwards, blood trickling out from the corner of his mouth.

Yet, Wang Ruoxie stood firm, with the strength of two oxen and one tiger, combined with the Eighth Layer of the Ninth Layer’s force, how could Wang Lang, an ordinary Ninth Layer of Body Tempering Realm, contend?

He didn’t intend to let it go at this and charged out again, aiming directly at Wang Lang’s Dantian.

“You dare!”

Wang Lang’s face changed dramatically in horror, unable to dodge in time, hurriedly used his arm to block.

“Crack!”

With a crisp sound, Wang Lang’s arm was shattered, and Wang Ruoxie’s fist unrelentingly smashed into his Dantian.

As the force surged, Wang Lang’s Sea of Qi was utterly shattered.

“You… You actually destroyed my Sea of Qi?”

Wang Lang glared at Wang Ruoxie with hatred-filled eyes, howling.

With the Sea of Qi destroyed, it meant there was no hope of breaking through to the Energy-Introducing Realm. To a Martial Cultivator, it is as if hope is cut off, worse than death.

“These past years, you have always withheld my and my mother’s silver salary, now you’ve become even more excessive, trying to frame my mother and make me kneel before you to confess. Now I’ve shattered your Sea of Qi as punishment. If you still don’t repent and continue to bother me in the future, I will take your life directly.”

Wang Ruoxie said coldly, then walked towards the Lock Heart Hall with Fu’Er, leaving behind Wang Lang with a pale face and two stone-like servants.

To these vile servants who bully others under someone’s power, he naturally will not show mercy. If it weren’t for not wanting to overly provoke the Lady, affecting his mother, he would have directly killed this fellow.

However, today’s incident also reminded him that those people do not care for the life or death of him and his mother. If they continue to stay in the Marquis’s Mansion, surely the Lady will keep scheming against them.

He is not afraid in himself; he is most worried about his mother and Fu’Er. It seems he must plan early.

…

At the main hall of the Marquis’s Mansion.

A beautifully dressed woman sat coldly, the Mistress of the Marquis’s Mansion, the Lady, Lady Wan.

Wang Lang, clutching his broken arm, knelt below the woman.

“Madam, please uphold justice for me. The Seventh Young Master not only shielded that vixen but also, with a single disagreement, broke my arm and destroyed my Sea of Qi.”

Wang Lang sobbed tearfully: “I, Wang Lang, have served the Marquis’s Mansion for twenty years, always diligent and loyal, even without merit, I have worked hard. It’s really disheartening to be treated by the Seventh Young Master like this.”

“Even a dog must consider its master; you are mine. This little beast dared to harm you like this, perhaps I’ve been too lenient.”

Lady Wan snorted coldly, then said to Wang Lang: “Tomorrow’s hunting conference, this little beast will attend too, make arrangements well.”

“However, if he can defeat even you easily, it seems this little beast is deeply hidden. Fortunately, Kun’Er has already destroyed his Sea of Qi, otherwise, he would be another plague.”

“Madam, I will make arrangements now. No matter how strong his power is, he’ll definitely be unable to leave the Cloud-Connection Mountain Range tomorrow without breaking through to Energy-Introducing Realm.”

Wang Lang showed a sinister expression and spoke.

“Go, make sure they do it cleanly. Although the Marquis doesn’t care much for their life and death, that little beast is after all his flesh and blood.”

…

“Ruoxie, have you really broken through to the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering Realm?”

“Did you also concoct those Divine Grade potion solutions?”

Inside the Lock Heart Hall, Lady Chi looked at Wang Ruoxie with full delight and a trace of incredulousness in her eyes.

“Yes, Mother.”

Wang Ruoxie nodded in response.

Suddenly noticing the dried tear marks on his mother’s face as if she had just cried, he frowned and asked: “Mother, what happened?”

“Nothing.”

Lady Chi shook her head with a slightly downcast expression.

“Young Master, the Marquis told the Lady not to trouble him over such trivial matters in the future.”

Fu’Er, speaking with some indignation beside them.

“Trivial matters?”

Wang Ruoxie laughed indifferently, but since he did not have much expectation anyway, he wasn’t much affected.

“Ruoxie, do not resent him; he is, after all, the Marquis and the head of the family…”

Before Lady Chi could finish her words, Wang Ruoxie interrupted: “Mother, let’s move out.”

“What…”

Lady Chi was taken aback by his words.

“Since he doesn’t care for our lives, why should we stay here?”

Wang Ruoxie spoke again.

“But he is your father.”

Lady Chi said hesitantly.

“Father? What kind of father wants to burn his son?”

Wang Ruoxie said indifferently: “What has he done for me all these years? How many times has he visited the Lock Heart Hall? And today, with the Lady attempting to frame you, did he even care?”

“Mother, since he is heartless and indifferent, why should we linger?”

“Besides, today’s matter is surely not accidental; the Lady will not easily let us go.”

In his heart, there is forever only one father, that is the Celestial Emperor father from his past life.

“Sigh, blood is thicker than water; you were unable to cultivate Martial Art before, and hadn’t awakened your Bloodline Power, so the Marquis would neglect us. But now it’s different, you can cultivate and also concoct Divine Grade potion solutions. If the Marquis learns of this, he will surely view you differently.”

Lady Chi sighed softly and said.

Wang Ruoxie didn’t continue to persuade. He could see his mother was unwilling to leave the Marquis’s Mansion. Since that is the case, then at tomorrow’s hunting conference, he must fully exhibit his strength and impress everyone in every aspect.

Mother relies on son’s worth. Only then can his mother gain that person’s attention, and the Lady will have scruples, not daring to lightly move against her.

Tomorrow, Wang Ruoxie will tell everyone and let that person know who truly is the genius.

After returning to his room, Wang Ruoxie went to sleep early to refresh himself for tomorrow’s hunting conference preparation.
