Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 912: 912 Can’t Help but Admire Han Yan

Han Yan’s heart warmed. Although the scheming of the Zong Family is even more fierce than that of the Mu Family in Heishi City, their attitude in the face of outside threats is astonishingly unified.

Behind closed doors, they might fight to the death, but against external foes, they are unwaveringly united. This brought her great comfort.

Looking at the complex expressions of her Mu Family relatives, Han Yan smiled slightly. If someone else had come, she might have been ready to make a quick exit, but now, there was no need.

”Our Mu Family is thriving, it’s inevitable that a few unworthy disciples might emerge. But I wonder who Mr. He is referring to?” the Supreme Elder pondered for a moment and said.

As the Supreme Elder, he certainly couldn’t just watch his Mu Family disciples be bullied by outsiders. However, since others came to demand justice, he seized the opportunity to teach Han Yan a lesson, which was only natural. So there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

”Han Yan, it’s Han Yan! Relying on some skill and the support of the Mu Family, he completely disregards us noble family’s sons, oppressing us relentlessly!” He Qingwei spoke confidently since he had the backing of the He Family Ancestor.

”So it’s him.” The Supreme Elder had already guessed their target but pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said, ”Han Yan is aggressive by nature, provoking trouble everywhere. I was just about to discipline him, so today I’ll teach him a lesson in front of Mr. He and give the He Family an explanation.”

Seeing the Supreme Elder speak so decisively, the Mu Family’s disciples silently sighed. Earlier, if the Supreme Elder merely made excuses, Han Yan still had a chance to divert and argue, but now with the arrival of He Changzai and his grandson, he probably didn’t even have the chance to argue.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Supreme Elder might even punish him lightly by deducting half a year’s stipend. Who knows how he will be disciplined!

Alas, Han Yan’s luck is truly terrible. Couldn’t the He Family Ancestor have chosen another time to come?

”Fine, let me see how you plan to give our He Family an explanation?” He Changzai only wanted to stand up for the younger generation of the He Family and, through this, announce his return to the Capital. It would be both to make a name for himself and to give the He Family a boost; he didn’t wish to personally deal with a junior, so he said coldly after hearing the Supreme Elder’s words.

”Han Yan, come out now!” the Supreme Elder shouted sternly, and an invisible pressure enveloped the crowd below.

Under that pressure, all the Mu Family disciples were shocked and instinctively stepped back, then looked sympathetically at Han Yan standing alone in the middle, secretly praying for him.

However, to their utter confusion, Han Yan’s face showed no unease or fear; instead, he was smiling brilliantly.

”Old Drunkard, what a coincidence!”

Just as everyone was puzzled, a surprising scene unfolded. Han Yan spread his hands with a smile and spoke to the He Family Ancestor.

Seeing Han Yan’s carefree and nonchalant demeanor, everyone around was so shocked they couldn’t speak.

Although He Changzai carried a nose like a wine jug and a big wine gourd on his back, his body reeked of alcohol from afar; calling him an Old Drunkard wasn’t slandering him.

But after all, he was the He Family Ancestor, with a status and reputation far superior to the Mu Family’s Supreme Elder, yet you dared to call him an Old Drunkard? That clearly showed you disrespect him, even could be considered insulting.

If He Changzai had come to visit a friend and chat about old times, he might have let it slide due to your youth and ignorance. But he originally came to hold you accountable, and you still dare to be so rude. This is practically a death wish.

Afraid of being implicated, everyone stepped back further.

Even He Qingwei was utterly shocked, wide-eyed.

This Han Yan, truly arrogant and presumptuous, dared to insult the He Family Ancestor too. He genuinely deserves the title of the Capital’s number one playboy; if it weren’t for the deep hatred towards Han Yan, he almost couldn’t help but admire him.

Once he slightly recovered, He Qingwei was filled with excitement and anticipation, knowing the ancestor’s notorious bad temper. Han Yan dared to insult him—wasn’t that seeking death?

From now on, the Capital will likely no longer have Han Yan!

The Supreme Elder’s face was also steel blue. Regardless of how wrong Han Yan might be, he must not let outsiders bully him. It’s not that he particularly loves this junior—in fact, he was filled with anger and wished he could personally slap Han Yan half to death to vent his anger. But as an elder of the Zong Family, he must consider the family’s reputation.

Although a family heir might be wrong, discipline should come from within the family, not from outsiders.

So, he had already decided to give Han Yan a harsh lesson in front of He Changzai, both to vent his anger and give He Changgzai an explanation, avoiding direct conflict.

But he never dreamed Han Yan would be so reckless, disrespecting He Changzai publicly.

”This brat, you want to seek death, go find it yourself! Why involve me?” the Supreme Elder cursed inwardly, feeling his head pounding.

If He Changzai, furious, ignores his status and acts, should he intervene or not? If he doesn’t, how will he maintain his standing in the family or face others if Han Yan, a family heir, is slapped to death by He Changzai? But if he does intervene, could he be a match for He Changzai?

He’s doomed, thoroughly doomed! The Supreme Elder suddenly realized a problem: Han Yan’s cunning and shrewdness he had witnessed firsthand; how could he be so impulsive? Could he possibly be doing it on purpose?

He knew today couldn’t be easily resolved, so he provoked He Changzai deliberately, forcing himself into a predicament where he couldn’t retreat or advance, making it difficult to end peaceably.

The more the Supreme Elder thought, the more he believed his guess was right, and he hated Han Yan immensely.

No, he absolutely can’t let him succeed in his cunning plan!

”Outrageous! How dare you be so disrespectful to Mr. He, kneel!” The Supreme Elder finally had a moment of inspiration, knowing he couldn’t let He Changzai erupt first, he had to take the initiative, and so he angrily rebuked Han Yan.

”Han Yan, you have a lot of nerve to disrespect our Ancestor. Let’s see who can save you now!” He Qingwei saw through the Supreme Elder’s plans and timely added fuel to the fire.

”Shut up! Is this your place to speak?” He Changzai glared at He Qingwei and walked straight toward Han Yan.

Although rebuked by the Ancestor, He Qingwei was unconcerned.

He’s angry, the Ancestor is angry, Han Yan, let’s see how you can survive this! He Qingwei’s excitement caused his cheeks to tremble with anticipation.
