Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 321: 321 playboys sympathizing with each other?

To catch the opponent off guard, it was essential to make Yan Yuchu lower his defenses. Although it might invite further disregard to challenge a Sword Master with the ability of a Swordsman First Rank, Yan Yuchu was undoubtedly not a fool. If provoked, he might become suspicious and even more cautious.

Conspiracies and tricks ultimately boil down to a mix of truth and deception—a combination of seventy percent real and thirty percent fake making it easier to confuse the opponent.

When it came to cunning, Mu Hanyan, having lived two lifetimes filled with perils, was certainly far more adept than his peers.

”I understand now, you too hid your strength,” Yan Yuchu said thoughtfully after his surprise.

Mu Hanyan keenly caught the inclusion of ”too” in his statement, which piqued her interest.

”Aren’t you doing the same?” Mu Hanyan responded, feigning understanding.

”Mutually indeed. It seems the Mu Family truly values not Mu Hanfeng or Mu Feng, but you. To hide your strength, you even bore the name of a useless playboy for so many years. That must have been tough,” Yan Yuchu said, acknowledging the situation without denial, his tone revealing a hint of respect.

Suddenly, Mu Hanyan recalled something. Regardless of her past or current life, Yan Yuchu had remained obscure, even until her unforeseen accident—she had never heard his name spoken aloud. This indicated that he, like her, had always been concealing his true capabilities, though perhaps not as drastically.

Both the Mu Family and Yan Family, age-old families from the Capital, had descendants who concealed their powers. What could be the reason for this, and was there a connection?

”You have it tough too,” Mu Hanyan mused internally. Not daring to question Yan Yuchu directly, she veiled her words in mystery.

”Alright, since our fates are intertwined, there’s no need to hide anymore. Since you are the main concern, it makes no sense waiting for Mu Hanfeng or Mu Feng. Leave the true Heavenly Heart Technique with me, and I’ll let you leave,” Yan Yuchu proposed.

Upon hearing Yan Yuchu’s words, Mu Hanyan was slightly startled. She originally planned to target the Yan Family Technique, knowing the opponent was too strong to act recklessly. She did not expect Yan Yuchu to openly aim for the Heavenly Heart Technique first.

Moreover, he mentioned the ”true” Heavenly Heart Technique. Did that imply that the Heavenly Heart Technique learned by the Mu Family’s disciples was not the genuine one?

Mu Hanyan, of course, knew the Mu Family’s Heavenly Heart Technique was incomplete. In fact, what she now practiced was the authentic technique. However, how could Yan Yuchu know this?

”What if I refuse?” Mu Hanyan, her curiosity deepening, decided not to hurry to rescue others. Clutching her longsword, she challenged.

”Refuse? Do you think you have the strength to oppose me?” As he spoke, Yan Yuchu slowly drew his longsword.

As the longsword unsheathed, a shimmering silver light radiated, like a wave of silver water flowing slowly along the blade.

Sword energy!

In the Ten Swordsmen Realms, Qi energy always gathers in the sword, enhancing its power. However exquisite the swordsmanship, it cannot escape its reliance on the sword.

At the Sword Master Realm, it represents a fundamental enhancement. By harnessing sword energy with the longsword, one can transcend the limitations of the blade, not only greatly extending the attack range but also increasing the power exponentially, capable of harming from a hundred steps away invisibly.

”Sword Master, so you have reached the Sword Master Realm!” Mu Ziqing exclaimed in surprise. His strength was clearly not sufficient for Yan Yuchu to demonstrate his full abilities. He only knew his opponent was far stronger than himself, but he had never imagined this extent.
