Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Bullying Her Because I Like Her

But this is also normal. Given Jian Zhongtian’s status and the strength of the guards around him, those who dare to kill him and have the ability to do so are indeed few. In Heishi City, my reputation has risen meteorically. When this spreads to the Capital, people might think it’s just a rumor, but in Heishi City, no one would think that way. It’s quite natural for them to suspect me.

It’s just unexpected that Mu Hanfeng got involved too.

Although Mu Hanfeng spoke lightly of the matter, Mu Hanyan knew that his discovery was by no means a mere coincidence; it was because he had always been secretly watching over her, protecting her in his own way.

Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan felt deeply grateful. If it weren’t for treating Zirong as her best friend and taking his matters as her own, sparing no effort to find a way to save Yu Qingwan, Uncle Yun and Mu Sha wouldn’t have been trapped in Soul-breaking Valley, and she wouldn’t have rushed to the rescue.

And if she hadn’t arrived in time, Mu Hanfeng would have had to face Gui Yu Mie’s Divine Return alone. The final outcome would have been bleak.

It turns out that in the end, the one she saved was her most beloved brother. Could this be the legendary sowing good causes to reap good outcomes?

”Han Feng, do you know how dangerous it was this time? You absolutely mustn’t take such risks again in the future,” Mu Hanyan said severely to Mu Hanfeng, feeling more frightened the more she thought about it.

”If it were you, what would you do?” Mu Hanfeng smiled faintly and asked.

Mu Hanyan didn’t answer; the siblings exchanged a look, and everything was understood without words.

Mu Hanyan knew that if such a situation arose again, Mu Hanfeng would make the same choice, as would she.

This is the kind of familial bond that is thicker than water.

”By the way, Zirong, what’s up with your strength?” Huayue also curiously asked Zirong.

”Yes, yes, what’s with your strength, and those eyes, how did they become so demonic, like they can see through every swordsmanship change of the opponent, each strike achieving the unity of man and sword, sword and man as one, that’s impressive,” Jiang Yuzhe asked excitedly, full of envy.

Zirong initially maintained his habitual smile, but later, the smile gradually froze on his face, and the veins on his forehead twitched fiercely a few times.

Mu Hanyan and the others also silently watched Zirong, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed to laugh out loud.

Human and Despicable Unity... Jiang Yuzhe is definitely jealous.

”This, is the power within Qing Wan’s body, and the reason the Guiyu Clan captured her,” Zirong ultimately did not lose his temper and answered.

This was something Mu Hanyan had anticipated long ago; in fact, besides this, she couldn’t think of any other possibility.

If she was not mistaken, in his past life, Zirong also gained the Devil Eyes and became a true Demon Sword because he obtained this power within Yu Qingwan’s body.

However, she was unsure if the Guiyu Clan’s people also appeared in the past life, but even if they didn’t, Zirong must have encountered other dangers, likely leading to an accident after acquiring this power, resulting in Zirong’s drastic change in personality and becoming one of the three great evil gods in the future.

”Qing Wan gave it to you; is there any harm to herself?” Mu Hanyan asked worriedly, suddenly thinking of this.

”She said there is no harm, and Mr. Sun also checked her pulse and found nothing abnormal,” Zirong said.

”That’s good.” Mu Hanyan nodded but felt a bit strange in her heart.

If you think about it, the power within Yu Qingwan’s body should be one of those innate divine abilities imprinted in her bloodline by ancestors. From what she knows, if someone extracts this innate divine ability through some evil technique, it would definitely harm the person, either severely depleting their vitality or impairing their mental faculties. Why is Yu Qingwan perfectly fine?

There are limitations to everything in the world. Take the Guiyu Clan they just annihilated, even though they enhanced their combat power through evil techniques without needing elixirs or damaging their cultivation, at no apparent cost; in reality, it came at the cost of many innocent girls’ lives.

If Yu Qingwan gave her power to Zirong, how could there be no impact at all?

Mu Hanyan did not doubt Doctor Sun’s medical skills, but the more she thought about it, the more it felt incorrect, leaving her with a vague sense of unease.

”Qing Wan said she wants to thank you personally when you return,” Zirong continued, saying.

When Zirong said this, he didn’t give it much thought; because of Mu Hanyan, the Mu Family had fully supported the rescue, allowing Yu Qingwan to return safely. It was only natural for her to thank Mu Hanyan in person.

However, upon hearing this, Mu Hanyan’s heart stirred slightly. Could it be that there is something Yu Qingwan wants to tell her privately, fearing that it would upset Zirong, hence needing to speak to her alone?

The more Mu Hanyan thought about it, the more it seemed possible, increasing her anxiety.

While walking, when Mu Hanfeng walked alongside Mu Hanyan, he suddenly asked, ”Sister, do you know Ye Yanran?”

”Huh? I do. Why? Do you know her too?” Mu Hanyan asked puzzled.

”Yes. She initially mistook me for you,” Mu Hanfeng chuckled, ”She’s a bit silly, makes one want to bully her.”

”Don’t bully her too much, alright? That girl is my lifesaver, you know. I owe her a lot,” Mu Hanyan glared at her brother, saying with a hint of annoyance, ”You haven’t fallen for her, have you? Some people like others by bullying them.”

Mu Hanfeng’s mouth twitched: ”Do I seem like that kind of person?”

”You do.” Mu Hanyan snorted coldly. She knew her brother too well; he was just a tsundere. He probably did have some feelings for Ye Yanran, that girl.

”By the way, how did she save you?” Mu Hanfeng asked curiously.

”It’s a long story...” Mu Hanyan recounted everything about her and Ye Yanran to Mu Hanfeng, making him frown, worry, and occasionally laugh at certain parts.

”So, you really do owe her a lot,” Mu Hanfeng nodded after listening.

”Did the girl say where she was going after you all parted?” Mu Hanyan asked casually.

”No, she just said she had some business. I was following up on some matters anyway, so we parted ways,” Mu Hanfeng said.

”Forget it, we’ll definitely meet again. I’ll pay back the favor then,” Mu Hanyan said, not dwelling on it anymore.

”However, I do want to see her expression when she finds out you’re a woman,” Mu Hanfeng said with a bit of a mischievous smile.

Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes. If Ye Yanran knew, she probably wouldn’t always want to take off her clothes rashly anymore.

For the rest of the journey, Mu Hanyan didn’t say much, because her mind was preoccupied with thoughts about Zirong’s Devil Eyes. She had some suspicions and concerns, and they quickly returned to Fang Village.

Qu Shanling, Family Head Fang, and others had been waiting anxiously for a long time. As soon as they saw Mu Hanyan and the others return safely, they hurried over to greet them.

After exchanging a few polite words, Mu Hanyan asked Doctor Sun to examine Zirong and the others again for any injuries.

Although their cultivation was quite advanced, they weren’t familiar with medical knowledge, so it was best to let Doctor Sun check them to ensure no hidden injuries would affect their future cultivation.

”Young Master Mu, there are some things I’d like to discuss with you.” While Doctor Sun was checking on Zirong and the others, Yu Qingwan approached Mu Hanyan and whispered, winking secretly.

Mu Hanyan’s heart was stirred slightly, had her guess been correct after all?
