Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Evil Within Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Evil Within “Mage, Mage, did Xuexue imprint her fingerprint on the deed transfer?”
Old Lady Mo and Madam Ruan impatiently asked, facing the back of the Mage.
This concerned their personal interests.
They had no idea what the Mage was doing. Ignoring them and turning his back, a clicking sound came from him.
“Ruan Xinzhi, don’t think that just because you have the deed transfer, you can monopolize the property. You are not a direct relative; it’s impossible for you to get it. Even if you go to the County Yamen, the county magistrate won’t believe you,” Madam Ruan angrily lost her reason and couldn’t help but shout.
She thought Ruan Xinzhi was planning to monopolize the property!
Suddenly, when Madam Ruan called out the Mage’s name, Old Lady Mo was taken aback but didn’t pay much attention.
After all, their minds were completely focused on the property.
Ruan Xinzhi turned around while making the noise.
Now, Old Lady Mo and Madam Ruan finally understood what the clicking sound was! It turned out that Ruan Xinzhi was holding a handful of candles and was incessantly stuffing them into his mouth.
Chewing with clicking sounds, he seemed to be enjoying it immensely.
Madam Ruan and Old Lady Mo felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
“You… you… what are you doing? Where is the deed transfer?” Madam Ruan didn’t care about Ruan Xinzhi’s fate; she was only worried about this issue.
“Hehehe…! What deed transfer?” Ruan Xinzhi stuffed his mouth with candles, occasionally dropping bits from the corners of his mouth, which looked rather creepy.
“Stop pretending! This entire act today was just to get that deed transfer,” Madam Ruan insisted relentlessly.
Old Lady Mo, feeling her scalp tingle, and after having lived for decades and being quite shrewd, grabbed Madam Ruan’s arm forcefully and exclaimed in panic, “Madam Ruan, Madam Ruan, don’t ask anymore, he’s possessed, let’s get out of here quickly.”
“What possession, I don’t believe it, he’s just pretending. I know him better than you,” Madam Ruan said disbelievingly, stubbornly refusing to leave.
Ruan Xinzhi was her relative from the same village. She knew his background better than anyone; he was just a spoiled heir whose family had fallen on hard times, worrying from one meal to the next. Thus, he usually conned others to get by, and now he certainly was pretending to be foolish to scare them away in order to monopolize the property.
Seeing that Madam Ruan wasn’t heeding her advice, Old Lady Mo didn’t care anymore; preserving her life was more important, so she ran out alone.
The neighbors watching at the door saw Old Lady Mo running out in a panic and asked curiously, “Old Lady Mo, what exactly happened inside? Why are you so panicked, is there really a ghost?”
Faced with a barrage of questions, Old Lady Mo was at a loss for words.
She certainly couldn’t say that the mage she had invited was a fraud.
So, she could only stand in the courtyard with a gloomy expression, waiting to see what would happen next.
Suddenly, a piercing scream for help came from Madam Ruan inside the room.
The people outside looked at each other in bewilderment, uncertain of what had happened.
Just then, Madam Ruan burst out, looking tattered and worn.
Their respected Mage was closely following right behind her.
Stripped of most of his clothes, even his trousers missing, bare and empty, his face bore a sleazy smile, chasing after Madam Ruan relentlessly.
The watching villagers immediately burst into an uproar.
“How did the Mage turn out ?”
“In broad daylight, in front of everyone, running around half-naked chasing a married woman, what a disgrace, truly a corruption of morals.” The villagers, being honest farmers, were indignant.
