Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 636: 636 playboy meets playboy

With such a commotion, naturally, a large crowd gathered to watch the excitement, forming several circles inside and outside the inn. Seeing Dai Songling revealing his strength without any reservation, everyone’s face was painted with shock.

As a subsidiary city under Zhengying Academy’s jurisdiction, the citizens of Cangshan City have indeed seen masters before, but except for the once-every-few-years trials, Cangshan City was usually so quiet that not even a ghost’s shadow was spotted often; they had rarely witnessed such powerful figures.

”Who exactly is this person, and who is that Mu Hanyan?” someone curiously asked.

”Haven’t you heard? These people are from the Capital City Mo Family. The one who just made a move is said to be the beloved son of the Family Head, and Mu Hanyan, supposedly a descendant of the Mu Family from the Capital, is a playboy who has been abandoned by his family,” an informed person explained on the side.

”Such prominent backgrounds!” The inquirer gasped in surprise and continued with confusion, ”They’re both from wealthy families in the Capital; how did they end up turning against each other?”

”It’s said that someone from the Mu Family injured several guards of the Mo Family, bullying Mo Yanhong to the extent that he dared not utter another word, so they found help to come back for retribution,” another replied.

”Then there will be a good show to watch,” the first speaker said with schadenfreude.

Aside from the occasional trials, Cangshan City really didn’t have much excitement to offer, especially not with both sides having such significant backgrounds, making the onlooking crowd all the more excited.

Having seen the strong ones from Zhengying Academy so often, they might be outsiders, but they only revered Dai Songling; they were not at the point of such awe that they dared not face him outright.

As for whether they were acting in the name of justice or for the good of the people, they couldn’t care less. Mu Hanyan’s reputation was far from good, but seeing Mo Yanhong’s ruthless actions earlier, they knew he wasn’t a good person either. They would rather both groups fight until the world turned upside down, not caring about who represented good or evil.

”I’m afraid there won’t be much excitement to watch, Mu Hanyan is just a good-for-nothing after all, and the other side brought a master from the Sword Master Realm. In my opinion, Mu Hanyan has really bitten off more than he can chew this time, he’ll be lucky not to end up disabled, if not dead,” someone said happily.

As mere commoners, insignificant as ants, they naturally disliked those high and mighty sons of noble families, especially someone with a notorious reputation like Mu Hanyan, which did little to evoke any sympathy.

”Not coming out, huh? Well then, I’ll invite you out.” Seeing the room door firmly shut, and realizing that Mu Hanyan and Yan Yuchu had not made an appearance, Dai Songling thought they were afraid of him, and with a smirk of self-satisfaction, he walked toward Mu Hanyan’s room.

With his strength, he had long since detected the faint breathing sounds inside. Noticing how Wu Qiuyun and Mu Cheng were standing guard at the door, prepared for a confrontation, he guessed that Mu Hanyan was inside.

Mu Cheng and Wu Qiuyun exchanged a glance, then simultaneously took a step forward.

Their knowledge of Mu Hanyan’s situation was the clearest, the slightest carelessness could have led him to become demonized, and the fact that Dai Songling’s earlier shout hadn’t disturbed him was a stroke of luck. How could they dare let him burst into the room now?

Actually, their speculation wasn’t entirely correct. Mu Hanyan was not on the brink of becoming demonized, but rather, due to the impact of the powerful Star Power, he was on the verge of his meridians bursting, a situation even more critical than they had imagined.

And yet, this was not something they could disclose. Should Mo Yanhong find out, he would likely wish for Mu Hanyan to become demonized; he would certainly become even more unscrupulous.
