Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

”Brother Han Yan, have some, it really tastes good,” Mu Cheng said.

”No need, you eat it,” seeing Qu the Godman’s way of eating often, Mu Hanyan now felt nauseous whenever he saw a pig’s leg.

”Alright then, Brother Mu Feng, you have some too.” Mu Cheng didn’t insist further, instead turning to address Mu Feng.

”I won’t eat! Look at yourself, do you still maintain any demeanor of a family member’s descendant, or are you no different from the common rabble?” Mu Feng’s face was full of disgust as he harshly rebuked Mu Cheng.

”It’s just eating something, when brothers are together, why so much fuss?” Mu Cheng said with a sense of grievance.

He and Mu Feng had always had a good relationship; there wasn’t so much hierarchy between them, but he didn’t know why Mu Feng was so unreasonably cold to him today.

However, he wasn’t foolish, upon seeing Mu Feng’s unhidden resentment towards Mu Hanyan when his gaze swept past, he understood. Mu Feng’s issue wasn’t with him, but an underlying jealousy towards Mu Hanyan, prompted by his own closeness to Mu Hanyan, Mu Feng took the opportunity to vent.

”Brother Mu Feng, this trial is critical not only for our own futures but also for the honor of the Mu Family. Even the Family Head advised us before departing that we should set aside past grievances and join hands, so let’s temporarily let go of the old grudges,” Mu Cheng advised earnestly.

”Hmph, easy for you to say, Mu Rui’an is his father, of course he would support him. If you think I’d associate with such shameless people, dream on! Once we reach Longyan Mountain, you go your way, and I’ll go mine; let’s not interfere with each other,” Mu Feng said disdainfully while briefly glancing at Mu Hanyan.

”Brother Mu Feng...” Seeing Mu Feng like this, Mu Cheng felt embarrassed and wanted to persuade further but was interrupted by Mu Hanyan.

”Let it be, however he wishes to act,” Mu Hanyan said.

The people of the Mu Family were just like this; if used right, they were stubbornly persistent, like Mu Cheng who, despite not being exceptionally talented, would still achieve something due to his deep love for cultivation, but if misdirected, they turned obstinate and biased, like the Great Elder and his grandson.

Once they were set on something, no amount of persuasion would be effective. The saying ’won’t cry until they see the coffin’ truly suited them.

”Hmph!” Mu Feng snorted coldly, turning his head to look outside the window, not glancing at Mu Hanyan again.

”Sigh.” Mu Cheng sighed and quietly gnawed on his roast suckling pig.

Mu Hanyan closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Although the Heavenly Star Power left by Mu Tianlie was vast and strong, as her strength increased, so did her Qi, and with the aid of the Heavenly Heart Technique upon advancing, she would be able to refine and absorb it much faster than normal cultivation.

The carriage sped along, and despite having three people inside, it was as if they were strangers, exceptionally bleak.

As time passed, twenty days later, the carriage reached its destination—Cangshan City.

Though called a city, it was actually very small, almost like a small town, and the buildings within were much older and more dilapidated than those of an average small town.

Just from seeing the ancient architectures, narrow streets, and moss-grown foundations, one could imagine how desolate and quiet Cangshan City normally was, but at this moment, Cangshan City was bustling.

Young swordsmen from across Anyun Country gathered here; the line waiting at the city gate to enter stretched for miles, and many acquaintances from different families greeted each other from a distance, adding to the clamor of this originally quiet small town.
