Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 328: 328 needs to act quickly

”Why are you after the Heavenly Heart Technique?” Mu Hanyan asked.

”You’ve seen my strength. Although I’ve reached the realm of a Sword Master, my sword energy is not pure and is much weaker than that of a true Sword Master. The Heavenly Star Gathering technique, although far more profound than the Inherited Skills we have cultivated since childhood, also has significant flaws—it leaves one powerless after a single use. Grandfather said that the Mu Family and Yan Family share the same lineage and learned from the same source, didn’t he? I believe the Mu Family must also possess a true Heavenly Heart Technique, different from what common disciples learn. If I can obtain the true Heavenly Heart Technique of the Mu Family, perhaps I could compensate for the shortcomings of the Heavenly Star Gathering,” Yan Yuchu answered.

”Hmm, that makes some sense.” Mu Hanyan initially thought Yan Yuchu’s actions were directed by his family, but now she understood it was his own doing, and she nodded.

Although Yan Yuchu didn’t know much, upon careful contemplation, Mu Hanyan still gleaned quite a bit.

No matter how bad the situation had gotten between the powerful Yan and Mu Families of the Capital, one thing was certain: the connection between the two families was tight, concealing a huge secret that neither she nor Yan Yuchu knew of.

According to the trajectory of her previous life, this Yan Yuchu should have, like herself, traveled abroad, possibly encountering the same anomalies. But in this life, things had changed, and this Yan Yuchu had been left behind, thus granting a meeting opportunity that should not have existed between the two of them.

Of course, Mu Hanyan knew that her rebirth would change some things, but logically, these changes should only have affected the small area of Heishi City, not the Yan Family of Shanyang City, and certainly not the Capital. What exactly was happening behind all this?

Mu Hanyan habitually touched the Star Plate resembling a lotus pendant on her chest and suddenly thought of something: Her rebirth, at least for now, was actually trivial, capable of affecting and changing only a limited number of things, but the Star Illusion Qianji that had come into this world with her was mysterious, powerful, and absolutely remarkable. Could all this be related to it?

...

Mu Hanyan didn’t know that at this moment, on a remote, desolate plain, an ancient and grand palace stood majestically, its mottled walls illuminated by several giant oil lamps that cast a long, towering shadow.

Behind the palace, hundreds of candle flames flickered and danced, among which two had already been extinguished.

”Two have already died, what exactly happened? Could it really be his return, how is that possible?” a stern and cold middle-aged man stared at the extinguished candle flames and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Then, there was a long silence.

...

After some reflection, Mu Hanyan suddenly remembered that Mu Ziqing was still lying on the ground. She quickly went over to check his injuries.

Fortunately, although Mu Ziqing was injured, after spitting out clotted blood from his chest, he was not in serious trouble; he had merely fainted.

Mu Hanyan helped Mu Ziqing to a pavilion and laid him down comfortably before she looked at Yan Yuchu.

”I’ve told you everything I wanted to know. I thought you could help me solve the mystery and let me die with understanding, but it turns out you don’t know more than I do. Forget it, if you’re going to make a move, do it quickly. Considering that I haven’t really troubled your uncle, make it swift,” said Yan Yuchu straightforwardly as Mu Hanyan looked at him.
