Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 315: 315 kills three birds with one stone

”Did you get that Cultivation Technique, let me see it,” Han Yan said, somewhat impatient. No one knew better than her just how vast the energy contained within those seemingly insignificant stars Above Nine Heavens was; even though she’s now considered to have fully mastered her own techniques and could advance step by step in her cultivation, who could resist the temptation of a faster shortcut?

”I haven’t even sworn allegiance to him yet, how could he possibly give me the Technique? If I hadn’t cultivated the Shadowless Sword Technique, I might really be tempted, but I’ve put ten years of hard work into it, sacrificing so much, and just when I’ve made initial progress, how could I give up so easily?” Jiang Yuzhe said, his voice filled with sentiment. Seeing how eager Han Yan was, he wasn’t surprised; anyone who is a cultivator would be tempted by such a Technique.

”So that’s it. I was wondering why you so readily agreed to our pact to follow me; it’s for this reason then, with me, not only do you not have to cripple your own cultivation, but you can further improve your Shadowless Sword Technique.” Han Yan realized she had been too eager, lifted her teacup, and restrained her excitement and curiosity, then exclaimed as if she had an epiphany.

She had initially thought that this man merely had the appearance of a playboy, but he was actually like rotten wood outside with a golden core inside. After all this, it turns out she had overestimated his character.

”It’s not just for that reason. Following you, don’t I get to spend more time with Yuying?” Jiang Yuzhe said with a teasing smile.

”Cough, cough...” Han Yan, who was drinking her tea, choked violently.

After his defeat, he hadn’t mentioned Mu Yuying at all, not even a glance her way, and she had come to know his true intention, thinking he was merely using Mu Yuying as a pretext. Little did she know, his crafty heart had not changed.

”I think Yuying has some prejudices against me. Rather than blatantly causing her disgust, it is better to take a stealthier approach, to first stay by your side, become a familiar face, and then when she lets her guard down, I will make my move,” Jiang Yuzhe said with a sly grin, almost blatantly flashing the words ’treacherous heart’ across his forehead.

Han Yan felt that she had greatly overestimated this guy’s character; in fact, he had no character at all, with nothing but tricks up his sleeve.

”Even if you want to stay by my side, you’ll need the consent of the Jiang Family,” Han Yan couldn’t bear to see him looking so smug and couldn’t help but try to burst his bubble.

”That’s for you to worry about. I’ve already let it slip that I’ve sworn to follow Eldest Young Master Mu Han Yan, so from now on, I am your man. If the Jiang Family comes knocking, that’ll be your problem not mine,” Jiang Yuzhe said with a flirtatious glance and a coquettish tone.

Han Yan felt goosebumps all over her body; what did he mean by ’I am your man’? Why did it sound so awkward...

It felt cheesy and like she had been conned.

”Young Master, I will need to rely on you from now on, please take charge in my affairs,” Jiang Yuzhe continued to throw seductive glances while pressing his body closer to Han Yan.

”Scram!” Han Yan sprang up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and, grabbing a wine pot, resolved to herself: if he dared to come an inch closer, she would smash the pot right over his head.

Luckily, Jiang Yuzhe didn’t try to get closer. Instead, he shrunk back, sat down properly in his chair, and stealthily glanced at Han Yan with an air of a delicate and timid beauty, which made Han Yan even more disgusted.

Truly, honestly, Han Yan really wanted to kick him out.

At this point, if she didn’t understand Jiang Yuzhe’s plan, she would be a fool. The man did have some insight, seeing the potential in her strength; using her to shield himself from the Jiang Family while learning the fragment of the Shadowless Sword Technique, and meanwhile... waiting for an opportunity to win over Mu Yuying’s heart, killing three birds with one stone.

Not for nothing was he one of the future top three scourges known as Ghost Sword Jiang Yuzhe – he truly was treacherous and despicable.
