Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 731: 731 fierce characters were all beaten

”Scram!” Mu Hanyan snapped coldly. It’s worth mentioning that what Big Playboy Mu despised most were those who abused their family’s power to commit wrongdoing, even though many considered her the epitome of such behavior.

”Hmph, don’t think that having a Great Swordsman and a few Ninth-Rank Swordsmen is anything special, here in the Capital Region, not everyone is qualified to meddle,” Rong Tianhai said venomously as he glared at Mu Hanyan.

”Sorry, but this ’meddling’ is something I will handle,” Mu Hanyan said calmly.

What nonsense about the Rong Family? She had never even heard of them. Could they possibly be stronger than the Mu Family? Hmm... That’s exactly why Mu Hanyan hated it when others flaunted their power before her. Comparing family backgrounds, there were few in Anyun Country that could match the Mu Family’s, and boasting about family lineage in front of her was utterly uninteresting.

”Fine, fine, I’ll let you witness the true power of my Rong Family,” Rong Tianhai exclaimed as he let out a long howl.

Soon after, two long howls resounded from afar, and two figures rapidly approached from the distance. Behind them followed several guards, clearly also formidable.

Before the two even arrived, an aura of a Great Swordsman’s overwhelming presence enveloped the area. Of course, this so-called presence was only imposing to others; with Mu Hanyan’s current strength, why would she fear two Great Swordsmen?

”Great Swordsmen!” The Fang Family Patriarch exclaimed, his face turning pale.

”Young master, you should leave. I am deeply grateful for your help earlier. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will surely repay today’s kindness,” the Fang Family Patriarch earnestly said.

Although Mu Hanyan’s party included a Great Swordsman, their opponents had two. In a fight, who would win and who would lose was almost rhetorical.

Right, Mu Hanyan hadn’t made her move yet, but judging by her age, how much stronger could she be? Moreover, anyone with eyes could see that Mu Hanyan and Huayue had different statuses; traveling with three Ninth-Rank Swordsmen and one Great Swordsman, she was probably a noble son from some county family—a pampered rich boy, unlikely to possess any significant strength. If he did, why would he need so many skilled guards?

In the eyes of the Fang Family Patriarch, it was clear that Mu Hanyan’s group wouldn’t stand a chance against the Rong Family’s force, and revealing their identities afterward might even implicate them. Being kind-hearted, he didn’t want Mu Hanyan to suffer due to his family’s affairs.

Mu Hanyan was a person of decisive action, and seeing the Fang Family Patriarch’s sincere words, she silently appreciated not assisting the wrong person and certainly would not stand idly by now.

”Old man, don’t worry. I want to see just how strong their Rong Family really is,” Mu Hanyan said with a carefree laugh.

What a joke, she was a Sword Master, after all. If she fled in fear from two Great Swordsmen, the Mu Family’s reputation would be utterly tarnished.

As her words fell, the two Great Swordsmen were already close at hand.

”Brother Rong, can’t you settle a mere Fang Family without us having to intervene?” one of them laughed heartily.

”It’s not the Fang Family, but some meddlesome fools,” Rong Tianhai said venomously, glancing at Mu Hanyan.

”Who is so audacious, daring to interfere in Rong Family affairs? Are they tired of living?” the other Great Swordsman said arrogantly, displaying his longsword.

”It’s them!” Rong Tianhai pointed at Mu Hanyan and her companions, hatred written all over his face. ”Hmph, daring to meddle in the affairs of my Rong Family. I don’t care who you are, either kowtow and apologize to me, Rong Tianhai, right now, or not only you but also your families will suffer the consequences.”

Even in the various counties of Anyun, although those from the Beijing families need to give some face to the local wealthy families, here in the core of the Capital Region, it was the world of the Beijing families, and he wouldn’t take these long-distance bumpkins from Mu Hanyan’s group seriously. Regardless of their noble status, upon reaching the Capital, everyone must behave themselves.

When Rong Tianhai said this, he completely missed the astonishment on the faces of the two Great Swordsmen behind him, and their mouths agape as if they could fit two large salted duck eggs.

”Isn’t that a bit too harsh?” Mu Hanyan was already prepared to fight, but upon clearly seeing those two, a profound smile appeared on her lips.

”What’s wrong, are you scared?” Rong Tianhai looked at Mu Hanyan with disdain and thought to himself, ”No tears without seeing the coffin, it’s too late for regrets now!”

”Mr. Zong, Mr. He, no need to waste words with them, make your move.” After saying this, Rong Tianhai waved his hand grandly.

However, upon hearing his words, the two men did not react at all.

Turning his head, Rong Tianhai then saw an extremely frightened expression on their faces.

”Old Man Zong, Uncle He, it’s been a while.” Mu Hanyan slowly drew out his longsword, speaking with a smiling expression.

These two, weren’t they Zong Dingfang and He Songhua, those two troublemakers? Since their last fierce battle on their way back from Xiaoyang City, the two had disappeared without a trace. Mu Hanyan guessed that they were completely terrified and thought he would never see them again in his lifetime. Unexpectedly, here they were today, what a coincidence.

”It’s none of our business, we’re just here to make up the numbers; we’re leaving now, hahaha, no need to send us off, till next time, oh no more next time.” The two babbled incoherently, and before they even finished speaking, they ran off as if their buttocks were on fire.

As they fled, they also glanced around in fear, their pathetic condition resembling stray dogs.

”They fled just like that...” Mu Hanyan withdrew his longsword uninterestedly. He had been waiting for the two troublemakers to play the experts as they had before, to give himself a chance to stretch his muscles. Yet before he could even demonstrate his Sword Master’s prowess, they had fled.

Seeing the frightened demeanor of the two, Mu Hanyan guessed that what they feared was not him, but Ye Lanfeng. Having been rescued by him during two life-threatening moments, they probably thought just like Mu Cheng did, believing Ye Lanfeng was a high-level expert hidden behind him, always protecting him.

Fortunately, they had such an idea. As soon as they saw Mu Hanyan, they fled in a panic, thus they had escaped a calamity.

Seeing the reaction of Zong Dingfang and He Songhua, Rong Tianhai was stunned, and the Fang Family Patriarch was stunned, as were several guards who had followed Zong He.

Those two were experts in the Realm of Great Swordsmen, and it was said that Family Head had spent a lot of money to hire them. To be scared off like that, just who exactly is this person?

”Sir, what should we do with these people?” Zirong asked, pointing at Rong Tianhai, clearly not yet satisfied.

”I’m not sure either, everyone else expects us to bow and apologize, what should we do?” Mu Hanyan said with a troubled expression.

Zirong grinned understandingly and pounced towards Rong Tianhai. Huayue and Jiang Yuzhe moved from behind but reached almost as quickly as him.

Soon, a series of screams like those of a slaughtered pig echoed through the village.

”Ah, I didn’t say anything, why are they so violent? It’s too cruel,” Mu Hanyan shook his head and sighed.

”Alright, that’s enough, don’t hurt them,” Seeing Rong Tianhai and others beaten until their faces bloomed like peaches, Mu Hanyan felt it was enough and said to Huayue and the others.

Upon hearing Mu Hanyan’s words, Huayue and the others immediately stopped.

”You... you dare not take my Rong Family seriously, I...” Rong Tianhai’s face was battered, but he still stubbornly spoke. Hearing the implication in Mu Hanyan’s words, he also dared not escalate the situation too much, at least not to the extent of taking their lives. Rong Tianhai thought that Mu Hanyan ultimately still had some concerns about his Rong Family, gaining a bit of confidence.

Unfortunately, he thought wrong. Since Mu Hanyan dared to act, he naturally had already thought thoroughly about all the consequences, and thus had no concerns at all. He simply disliked killing, nothing more.

”Consider nothing said, continue,” Mu Hanyan simply turned his head away and instructed.

Immediately, the village was filled again with a wave of relentless screams.
