Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 932: Chapter 932: Turning the Tide and Becoming Overnight Rich

Han Yan wanted to stand up for the Fang Family, but it would inevitably lead to hitting a brick wall.

”Who told you I was standing up for someone else? Can’t I stand up for myself? Oh, I forgot to tell you, the land you’re standing on, and the vast area stretching a thousand miles around, is mine. If the person who bought the Fang Family’s assets isn’t me, then it’s Han Yan.” Han Yan looked at Nian An Yao like he was an idiot, and casually pulled out the land deed.

Next to him, apart from Huayue Zirong and a few others, everyone including Zhang Chihua was shocked. Mu Zexian, recalling what he said on the road, felt even more ashamed: Oh my God, it turns out Brother Han Yan is the one who bought the Fang Family’s assets, and I actually called him an idiot to his face!

”Sorry, I forgot to tell you just now, I’m actually that idiot.” Han Yan seemed to sense Mu Zexian’s unease, rolled his eyes, and said. In fact, when she bought these properties, she didn’t think they’d become so valuable. Looking back, it did seem a bit idiotic, but there was no helping it; she was just lucky.

Thinking of this, Han Yan suddenly found it strange. Wasn’t it said that her previous good luck was merely the innate ability sealed on the eggshell by Little Auspicious Beast’s parents, meant for protecting their offspring? Logically, her good luck should have ended once Little Auspicious Beast hatched. Why did she still have such good fortune?

Mu Zexian didn’t know about the doubts in Han Yan’s heart. Hearing her words, his face turned even redder, and his heart pounded faster.

”What, so the Family Head Fang did sell the Fang Family’s assets, and the buyer is Han Yan!” Seeing the land deed in Han Yan’s hand, the others were shocked.

Some people believed Family Head Fang’s earlier words, some didn’t, and some were half-believing, half-doubting. But the Fifth Prince’s group was adamantly skeptical. However, whether they believed it or not, there was one indisputable fact: whoever owned the Fang Family’s assets was poised to turn fortune into overnight wealth.

Gazing at the pile of land deeds in Han Yan’s hand, even the Young Masters of the Sword Guard Mansion were drooling with envy, let alone the onlookers in the workshop. You must know, these Fang family assets were once worthless (though saying they’re worthless is an exaggeration, but being undeveloped hills and wilderness, not only were they worthless, but no one wanted to buy them even if they were cheap). Han Yan must have bought them for a song.

Now, with the emergence of strange flowers, herbs, and valuable resources, the stack of worthless land deeds in Han Yan’s hand suddenly skyrocketed in value by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times. How could such a great fortune fall into Han Yan’s lap?

The Fifth Prince’s face turned dark. He was tempted by the value of the Fang Family’s assets, but it was the Divine Beast hidden beneath Flying Peak that truly made him determined.

If it were just Family Head Fang, no matter how stubborn he was, the Fifth Prince thought he could make him acquiesce. But dealing with Han Yan was trickier. Although outside the Capital, he was no longer bound by that prohibition, outright robbery wasn’t an option.

”How is it possible? How could you have these land deeds?” Nian An Yao was also upset.

Originally, he was determined to teach Han Yan a lesson if she dared to stand up for others, to show his might and regain some face. Who would’ve known she was actually the one who bought the Fang Family’s assets? No matter how tyrannical, he couldn’t find a reason to act against her now.

”Impossible, it must be fake. Old Man Fang values these land deeds more than his life, how could he possibly sell them to you?” Like the Fifth Prince and Nian An Yao, Rong Tianhai was also among those who were least willing to see this outcome, asserting confidently.

”Let me have a look at your land deeds,” Nian An Yao felt a stir at Rong Tianhai’s words.

While in the Capital, he had heard that Big Playboy Mu was cunning and unscrupulous, lacking any sense of noble conduct. Could this be a trick with fake land deeds to deceive people?

”And you’re supposed to be a Beast Taming Master, yet so petty, judging others by your own low standards.” Han Yan’s opinion of Nian An Yao’s pettiness increased, and she casually handed over the land deeds, muttering softly.

Beside her, Zirong and others blushed in embarrassment. Although Nian An Yao’s action was indeed petty, their own young master’s behavior couldn’t be linked to the word ”gentleman” at all.

They didn’t know that the ”young master” next to them was actually a woman; no matter how questionable her actions were, they couldn’t really be associated with being a ”gentleman.”

Nian An Yao took the land deeds, examined them thoroughly, and his expression grew more disappointed. The land deed was directly purchased from the Royal Family by the Fang Family’s ancestor, bearing a royal seal and even the calligraphy of the emperor of the time. How could it be fake?

Moreover, aside from the land deed, there was also a contractual document signed by Han Yan and Family Head Fang, with ink still fresh, clearly legitimate.

With this, Nian An Yao truly couldn’t find any reason to blow his top.

No matter how famous he was, he couldn’t blatantly bully someone from the Mu Family, could he? Even when he isn’t justified, he could act; but now, clearly, Han Yan is the one in the right. How could he act unreasonably?

”No, it’s absolutely wrong!” Just when Nian An Yao was feeling secretly frustrated, Qu Fengting suddenly spoke.

”Take a good look. This land deed bears the royal seal and the calligraphy of Emperor An Yun of the time. Are you saying it’s wrong?” Originally, Han Yan was already disgusted with Qu Fenghai, and hearing him blather at this point, she was slightly angry and glared at him coldly.

”I didn’t say the land deed is wrong. I’m saying the contractual document with the Fang Family is wrong. Everybody knows the mountains within this thousand-mile radius are filled with countless exotic flowers and herbs. Calculating, the Fang Family’s assets should be worth over a billion, yet you bought them for a mere ten thousand taels of patterned silver? How is that possible?” Qu Fengting pointed to the document in Nian An Yao’s hand and said loudly.

”If I’m not mistaken, you must have used some shady methods back then, coercing and enticing the old Family Head Fang to buy the Fang Family assets for such a low price!

The Fifth Prince has always valued integrity and fairness and cannot tolerate such shameless behavior. Family Head Fang, rest assured, if the Fifth Prince didn’t know about this it would be one thing, but now that he does, he will certainly seek justice for you!” Qu Fengting righteously said to Family Head Fang, not waiting for Han Yan to speak.

”Absolutely, I, the Prince, despise bullies who exploit and engage in forced buying and selling. Family Head Fang, today I must seek justice for you,” the Fifth Prince shone with realization and quickly followed suit.

Upon hearing their harmonious performance, the surrounding crowd was full of disdain, looking down on the two to the extreme.

Earlier, they were the ones who said they would buy the Fang Family assets at their original price, but now that Han Yan shows the documents proving she also bought the assets at the original price, they are the ones voicing accusations.

To claim they despise those who exploit and forcibly buy and sell, and to talk about seeking justice, do you really have no sense of shame?

That statement could be said by anyone in the world, except you.
