Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 591: 591 has such good things?

At last, the initial intention to trap Mu Hanyan was because of the Divine Artifact. Although there were several twists and turns and perhaps too much bait was laid out, in the end, a bet with Mu Hanyan was placed on the Divine Artifact.

Eldest Young Master Yuan suddenly wondered if this could be considered a blessing in disguise. Perhaps, the smooth-sailing endeavor encountered these complications just so it could reach this stage, for him to obtain the Divine Artifact.

Thinking like this, Eldest Young Master Yuan’s mood suddenly improved significantly.

”The young master is brilliant, truly brilliant. You can’t catch a wolf without laying out the bait, and this strategy of retreating in order to advance is played so cleverly.” Yao Guangcheng originally thought Eldest Young Master Yuan was backed into a corner, but upon hearing this, he thought there was a prior plan, his face showing admiration as he covertly gave him a thumbs-up.

Who says that experience always trumps youth? There are those who are young and surpass their forebears.

Of course, Eldest Young Master Yuan knew what he admired, and his heart swelled with pride: with just one stroke of inspiration, he immediately turned the tides and brought the situation back to his original plan. Only he, Eldest Young Master Yuan, had such a brilliant mind.

”What?” Mu Hanyan was taken aback for a moment, the stakes being the Divine Artifact, wasn’t that too favorable for her?

”Humph, do you dare to bet?” Eldest Young Master Yuan stared intensely into Mu Hanyan’s eyes.

”Do you really want this bet?” Mu Hanyan was still somewhat puzzled.

”Humph, don’t think I don’t know what’s in those boxes of yours. Other than the Cangxuan Cloud Silk, what else do you think could possibly compare with the Meteorite Gold Veins of my family?” Eldest Young Master Yuan lowered his voice and laughed darkly.

So that was it... Mu Hanyan almost burst out laughing loudly three times, but in the end, she suppressed the urge to cackle and managed a slight smile without revealing her emotions.

”Fine, I’ll take the bet, but you better not regret it,” Mu Hanyan said without hesitation.

If Eldest Young Master Yuan wanted something else as the bet, like one of her hands or one of her feet, she really wouldn’t dare to bet, as she wouldn’t want to leave her fate to luck.

But well, it was just a few boxes made of refined iron, even if they were crafted by Master Pang Dezong, they weren’t yet antiques and simply couldn’t compare to the Meteorite Gold Veins; losing them would not be a big deal at all. Not betting would be foolish. Mu Hanyan really wanted to burst into laughter internally, this Eldest Young Master Yuan was obviously after the artifact in the boxes, but he didn’t know that the artifact wasn’t inside them anymore. Even if he won, after all his cunning plots, he would end up getting only a few refined iron boxes. The cream of the crop of fools, that was Eldest Young Master Yuan.

”A gentleman’s agreement cannot be taken back, not even by a team of four horses; bring the deed over,” said Eldest Young Master Yuan. He had thought Mu Hanyan would hesitate, but she agreed so readily, which thrilled him even more.

It seemed, letting him win tens of millions beforehand was not a bad thing after all. Had he not tasted such a victory, he might not have been impassioned enough to use the Divine Artifact as a betting stake.

Perhaps, this could be called the will of Heaven. A feeling of great reverence filled Eldest Young Master Yuan’s heart.

Quickly, Yao Guangcheng brought over the deed for Little Pond City.

All lands under Heaven belong to the ruler. Even if it was just a remote village among the rugged mountains of the Longyan Mountain Range, as long as it was within the borders of Anyun Country, it belonged to the Royal Family. Any family wishing to possess it had to obtain the deed from the hands of the Royal Family. Without a legitimate reason, even the Royal Family couldn’t casually reclaim it.

Seeing Eldest Young Master Yuan’s excitement as if he had been injected with chicken blood, Mu Hanyan could guess his thoughts. His initial intention was to lure her into a trap to bet on the Cangxuan Cloud Silk. Although some twists and turns occurred that were beyond Eldest Young Master Yuan’s expectations, in the end, she still gambled with the Cangxuan Cloud Silk, which he was likely secretly proud of for his quick wit.

Mu Hanyan really wanted to know, once Eldest Young Master Yuan realized the truth that she didn’t bet the Cangxuan Cloud Silk but merely a few empty boxes, what his expression would be?

(Well, aren’t you all missing Ye Lanfeng a little? Then I’ll let him come out and give you a kissy... Not really, he’ll come out and give the female lead a kissy.)
