Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 285: 285 embarrassed all the way to grandma’s house

Others shook their heads as well, looking at these Mu Family’s disciples, their faces full of disdain: ”Your own brothers are causing trouble, and if you can’t manage them, so be it, but to pacify him temporarily, you actually promised to help tyrannize once back home. Do you only care about face in public, then shamelessly lose it on your own turf?”

”Indeed, how can anyone approve of such riffraff? Judging by their clothes and appearance, they seem to be family members from a distinguished background, how can their taste be so poor,” another person commented.

Thus, the looks they gave them were filled with even more contempt.

Mu Ze and the others were both anxious and ashamed, their faces turning beet red.

”Brother Han Yan, you said you’d listen to everything I say, now I order you to let her go, otherwise, I will expel you back to the clan,” Mu Ze, unable to save face, roared with rage.

”Right, if you don’t let her go now, we will expel you back to the clan together, and when the elders ask, we will have our justification,” Mu Xitian and the others also threatened.

There’s probably no use talking nicely to someone who refuses to repent; you have to be tough. After all, the purpose of the Second Elder is to find an opportunity to deal with him, so they are acting with a clear conscience.

”Sorry, I’m not letting go,” Mu Hanyan said nonchalantly, his gaze locked onto the woman, becoming colder and colder.

Under his sharp, blade-like gaze, the woman started to look panicked and suddenly turned to run away.

”Hiss-slash!” The sound of fabric tearing filled the air. The woman’s outer garment was ripped in two by Mu Hanyan.

It was over, it happened again—another garment torn. A chill ran down the spine of Mu Ze and the others.

No matter how much you try to prevent it, the inevitable always seems to come; there’s no way to stop it.

Looking at the small piece of fabric in Mu Hanyan’s hand, Mu Ze and his companions felt like crying without tears, wishing they could just dig a hole and bury themselves.

Mu Hanyan, staring at the fragment of cloth in his hand, was momentarily stunned, then looked up to the sky with a pitiful expression.

Heaven is his witness, he truly didn’t want to tear anyone’s clothes; who knew they would be this flimsy. Mu Siyi, Mu Siyi, alright, it looks like his infamy will soon spread throughout Xiaoyang City.

”Hey, what’s that?”

”It’s my money pouch.”

”And my jade pendant!”

Just when Mu Ze and the others were preparing to bury themselves to thank the world, a series of exclamations burst from the crowd.

The woman, as she ran, began to drop items with a jingle, including money pouches, jade pendants, golden locks, and even more shockingly, three longswords fell.

No wonder her appearance wasn’t only unremarkable, her figure also seemed somewhat bulky; it turns out she was hiding so many things. But those bizarre objects clearly weren’t hers.

Amidst the exclamations, the bystanders rushed forward to pick up what belonged to them.

”Ah, isn’t that my money pouch?” Mu Xitian also exclaimed as he spotted a pile of pouches on the ground.

”And that’s my Heart-clearing Jade, a birthday gift from grandfather; how did it end up with her?” Mu Yuying also cried out.

”Thief, she’s a thief, catch her!” Others, as if waking from a dream, yelled as they charged towards the woman.

Mu Ze’s face turned as black as coal; after all this ruckus, it turns out the woman was a thief, and they had been so unanimously accusative of Mu Hanyan, even threatening to expel him back to Heishi City, completely oblivious that they themselves had become the thief’s easy prey.

What embarrassed Mu Ze the most was that while others were robbed of trinkets like money pouches or jade pendants, what he lost was a longsword, one of the three that had fallen to the ground.

As a Fifth Rank Swordsman, the fact that his longsword could be stolen without him noticing was utterly humiliating, as if he had lost face all the way to his grandmother’s house.
