Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 479: 479 swaggering Mu Hanyan

”Let’s also take a look,” Mu Hanyan, still fixated on that strange treasure related to the Ancient Divine Beast, naturally wouldn’t just wait here stupidly and followed from a distance.

Several people didn’t hide their tracks and swaggered after them.

”Brother Qu,” a subordinate called out in a low voice.

”Hmm?” Qu Fengting looked at him displeased. He was clearly lacking tact, hadn’t he seen that he had just become the Alliance Leader, full of vigor? Even the way he addressed him lacked finesse.

”Oh, Alliance Leader Qu, it seems like Mu Hanyan and the others have followed us,” the subordinate quickly realized his mistake, promptly corrected his address, and spoke.

”What are they following us for?” Qu Fengting frowned.

”Alliance Leader, should I take some men and teach them a lesson, tell them to get lost?” the subordinate suggested. Although they criticized Mu Hanyan with outrage, in truth, following Qu Fengting enabled them to bully others under the guise of authority; he was hardly a good fellow.

”Wait,” Qu Fengting stopped him. Mu Hanyan’s calm yet icy gaze from the day before had unnerved him, making him somewhat doubt Mu Feng’s words, and he wanted to avoid complications.

”Go, call that Yang Family kid over, I think his name is... Yang Boqiao,” Qu Fengting thought for a moment and instructed.

”Greetings, Alliance Leader,” soon, Yang Boqiao was brought over, bowing respectfully.

”You mentioned yesterday that Mu Hanyan saved your younger brother’s life. Do you know what Mu Hanyan’s actual strength is?” Qu Fengting asked.

”According to my younger brother, he is Tenth Rank Great Swordsman,” Yang Boqiao didn’t hide anything and honestly replied.

”What, impossible!” Qu Fengting was shocked, immediately denying it.

Though he guessed that Mu Hanyan’s strength might not be as simple as Mu Feng described, perhaps it was hidden, he couldn’t believe it was to such an extent. Setting aside his reputation as a playboy and a wastrel, just considering age, Mu Hanyan was a few years younger than himself; how could he possess such strength?

”I also find it impossible, but I’ve seen the corpse of the Earth Splitting Crocodile; it was riddled like a sieve, killed by nothing other than Great Sword’s Sword Transformation Technique,” Yang Boqiao stated.

”Could he really have such high cultivation!” Qu Fengting involuntarily took a sharp breath and fell silent.

He didn’t doubt Yang Boqiao’s words, knowing the Yang Family would never dare to deceive him for their family’s sake or for their own lives. He knew the ferocity of the Earth Splitting Crocodile; below a Great Swordsman, indeed no one could breach its refined, steel-like armor, which suggested that Mu Hanyan might truly be a Tenth Rank Great Swordsman.

”Who else knows about this?” Qu Fengting questioned.

”Nobody else, we haven’t mentioned it to anyone,” Yang Boqiao responded.

”Good, go back now, and from this moment on, never speak of this matter to anyone,” Qu Fengting waved his hand commanding.

The primary reason he had been able to gather these Elite Swordsmen and easily become the leader of the Unity Alliance, commanding their absolute obedience, was his strength as a Tenth Rank Great Swordsman; his familial background was secondary.

If Mu Hanyan’s strength were revealed, it undoubtedly would impact his prestige. At the most critical moment, it could potentially ruin everything.

Fortunately, Mu Hanyan seemed intent on concealing his strength, which actually suited his purpose. As long as he didn’t mention it, avoided provoking Mu Hanyan, he could help keep his strength hidden.

Once he obtained that strange treasure in the palace, killing him would be an easy feat!

Humph! You like to hide your strength, then hide it until death! A cruel, cold smile curled on Qu Fengting’s lips.
