Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

”Good, this idea is great. Just like the saying goes, even dragons need a leader. If we want to break free from this predicament, we must unite and pull together our strength. Otherwise, in the face of disaster, with each harboring their own ideas, the end result will be dying here in the Exotic Beast Valley. Let’s establish the Unity Alliance now and appoint Brother Qu as the Alliance Hierarch,” another henchman said excitedly.

”How could that be? It’s a good thing to form the Unity Alliance and work together to get out of this difficult situation, but what merits and abilities do I, Qu Fengting, have to qualify as the Alliance Hierarch?” Qu Fengting said with false modesty, but his face was about to break into a full smile.

Pretend, just keep pretending! Watching them from afar, Mu Hanyan almost threw up. The flattery of these two henchmen was truly something her own could never match. But such flattery, she couldn’t take.

”Brother Qu, you’re speaking wrongly. Let’s talk about family background: the Qu Family is the foremost in Nanxi County, and the Qu Family in the Capital is one of the few prestigious Ancient Sword Families in Anyun Country. As for strength, who among us surpasses you? Moreover, everyone gathered here today did so because of you. Besides you, who else can command respect and is qualified to be the Alliance Hierarch, who else can lead us out of this danger and ensure our survival?” another henchman said with righteous indignation.

”For Brother Qu to assume the role of Alliance Hierarch is truly the will of the people, so please don’t refuse anymore,” Mu Feng also said with fervent conviction.

”Right, only with Brother Qu as the Alliance Hierarch can we be convinced. If it’s anyone else, it won’t work, so Brother Qu, please stop refusing,” the others were persuaded by their talk and joined in urging him.

Although these young noble family members were used to being free and were not willing to be controlled by others, upon careful consideration, they felt the arguments made by these few were correct. Each one of them was an elite from their respective families, indeed elite participants in this trial. They were accustomed to not submitting to anyone and even had conflicts with each other from before. Without a single unified command, in times of crisis, it was inevitable that everyone would have divergent goals, and by then, no one would survive.

Therefore, temporarily forming an alliance was necessary, and among all of them, only Qu Fengting was qualified to sit in the position of the Alliance Hierarch.

”Since everyone is saying so, then I won’t refuse any longer. After all, it is for the sake of everyone’s life and safety,” Qu Fengting got what he wanted and his pretty face smiled so much that it crinkled like a twisted doughnut. However, he changed his tone and added, ”However, since everyone has appointed me as the Alliance Hierarch, from now on you must obey my commands. Defiance will be absolutely intolerable, and if anyone disobeys or shows disrespect, don’t blame me for turning heartless.”

”Since everyone has elected Brother Qu as the Alliance Hierarch, naturally we won’t disobey the orders. Otherwise, it’s not just making things difficult for Brother Qu, but for all of us, and we must rise up and attack them,” Mu Feng was very happy for Qu Fengting, to the point where he was moved to tears.

”Right, if anyone disobeys Brother Qu’s orders, we will rise up and attack them,” a few of Qu Fengting’s henchmen shouted, raising their arms.

”Rise up and attack, rise up and attack!” the rest were infected by the sentiment and also chanted loudly.

Mu Hanyan curled her lip: A bunch of idiots, being sold and still helping to count the money. Especially that Mu Feng, how could he be so stupid? She really wondered if she should even save him? And that tearful look, such an extreme fanboy, no wonder being thrown under the bus by Qu Jianren left him crushed, the emotional damage was really too great.

After settling the affairs of the Unity Alliance, Qu Fengting led hundreds of young swordsmen to continue their journey deeper into the valley. It was clear that he was preparing to stake everything, not even leaving anyone to guard that stronghold.

”What should we do?” Mu Cheng asked.
