Not only the scholar was stunned, but even Gu Shengyin looked at Wei Wei with so surprise.
She didn’t expect that the always elegant and calm Wei Wei could say such a thing.
After finishing that sentence, Wei Wei didn’t want to look at the scholar again and turned her head to Gu Shengyin.
She said, "Lord Lan Ling, Wei Wei has a request."
Gu Shengyin was very satisfied with her reaction just now, and her tone couldn’t help but soften quite a bit: "Speak."
Wei Wei lowered her head: "I don’t want to see that human anymore."
Gu Shengyin chuckled lightly: "Alright, I understand what you an."
The Taoist priest in green robes changed his expression upon hearing this.
He heard Wei Wei say she didn’t want to see the scholar and subconsciously thought she intended to make a move, so he wanted to stop it.
This wasn’t because of any kind of compassion; rather, the ghosts he saw today, whether the Ghost King of Lanling or her two female ghosts under her command, were ghosts with character, not evildoers, and there was really no need to incur the guilt of murder because of soone like Xu Lian.
Ghosts are different from humans; they also need cultivation, they also have to undergo Heavenly Tribulations.
If ghosts are tainted with lives and guilt, few can survive the Heavenly Tribulations.
But before he could speak, Gu Shengyin had already acted.
She simply waved her hands in the void, and a blood-colored, mysterious rune flew towards Xu Lian, quickly disappearing into his body, vanishing without a trace.
Xu Lian looked at Gu Shengyin in horror, not knowing what she had done to him.
Having finished, Gu Shengyin seed in a particularly good mood, her crimson lips curling up unconsciously.
Her ink-black eyes t Xu Lian’s terrified ones, and she actually laughed softly.
"Today, since I’m in a good mood, I’ll tell you what I just did."
"You have a Curse Technique from on your body. Rest assured, it won’t threaten your life; it just requires you to do so small tasks."
"Rember the words I’m about to say: every day, donate all your belongings to the poor around you, and keep only enough silver coins for two als of plain buns; do not drink, do not gamble, do not seek pleasures, cockfighting and dog racing... study diligently every day, teach students without pay, don’t enter officialdom, don’t live in luxury mansions, don’t seek wealth and prosperity..."
Gu Shengyin spoke these words one by one, ignoring the scholar’s gradually widening eyes, and finished her last words: "...starting in three days, you shall not enter the Lanling region."
"If you can’t do what I said, the consequences, you can experience them yourself."
Her eerie voice made the scholar shiver, and he absolutely did not want to experience the consequences she ntioned.
Yet, if he truly followed her words, he would rather die cleanly!
The scholar trembled as he stood up, wanting to say sothing, but Gu Shengyin looked at him with disdain.
"Alright, I’ve said all I need to say. You can go; you don’t need to be an eyesore here."
With a wave of her long sleeve, the scholar vanished.
Facing the complex eyes of the Taoist priest in green robes once more, Gu Shengyin smiled: "Don’t worry, I’ve placed a protective curse incantation on him ensuring he will live healthily and pain-free to old age."
Taoist priest in green robes: "..."
With that scholar’s circumstances, he truly would rather die cleanly.
But, this female ghost didn’t even afford him the chance to die.
He made a silent decision: no matter who he would provoke in the future, he must never provoke the Ghost King of Lanling.
