Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1036: A Playboy Worthy of Respect

When you think about it, which of the Eight Great Families of the Capital doesn’t have a few playboy offspring, and which one isn’t arrogant? For Han Yan to stand out among them and earn the title of the number one playboy, it surely couldn’t just be because of his family background; he must have real skills.

Most importantly, he stood up today and delivered a severe lesson to the people of Shangyue Country, not only safeguarding the dignity of Anyun Country but also making every Anyun citizen present feel proud and spirited. To be a playboy to this extent is truly admirable.

”My Lord, wasn’t that slap a bit too excessive just now?” Family Head Fang cautiously approached Han Yan and said. He had also caught the implication of Yue Fanchen’s words before leaving and was worried about Han Yan.

”Dare to insult the name of Anyun, and they shall be punished no matter how strong they are!” Han Yan said resolutely.

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was deafening to everyone who heard it. Looking at Han Yan’s stern and righteous face, everyone straightened their expressions.

”In the future, no matter who it is, no matter how influential they are, if anyone dares to bully the Fang Family’s Workshop or insult the name of Anyun, there’s no need to be courteous nor save face for them, and there’s no need to consider the dignity of a swordsman. Even if we have to use every possible means, they shall pay tenfold.” Han Yan stated with determination.

”Yes!” Without waiting for Family Head Fang to speak, all the surrounding guards answered loudly in excitement. Their gazes at Han Yan were filled with heartfelt gratitude and near-fanatic admiration, while the injured guards were moved to tears.

Had it not been for Han Yan today, they would have had to swallow their grievances. They were simply outmatched both in strength and status, with no way to compete against those from Shangyue Country. Nor were they, nor even the Eight Great Families of the Capital, would most likely have chosen to settle things quietly.

But Han Yan didn’t care about all that; she personally took action to avenge them, an eye for an eye, giving the opponents a harsh lesson.

Most of these guards were hired for a high price and initially did not have much loyalty to the Nanyan Commerce or the Fang Family’s Workshop. But at this moment, they realized how wise their original choice was. How fortunate to follow such a master.

Not just them, even the Fang Family disciples felt immensely fortunate about their Family Head’s wise decision a few days earlier, clenching their fists in excitement. With such a master, who would dare to bully them, and how could their family not thrive?

As for the onlookers, upon hearing Han Yan’s words, their expressions tensed.

Originally, they didn’t care much for the Fang Family’s Workshop, and even after Fang Family issued a ban, many still quietly went near Flying Peak to seek treasures, thinking that even if they were caught by the Fang Family, they would just get a scolding or two. If things got ugly, they thought the Fang Family might back down.

But seeing Han Yan’s assertiveness, they realized they had miscalculated. With Han Yan backing them, the Fang Family was no longer a soft persimmon to be easily squeezed. Anyone thinking to take advantage of them in the future would have to weigh their options. Otherwise, angering Han Yan, they would end up like Long Ya.

With this in mind, their gaze towards Family Head Fang changed subtly, with a newfound respect and awe.

Family Head Fang also noticed these changes, feeling a shift in his heart.

He remembered that before Han Yan delivered the slap, there had been a brief pause, but after considering for a moment, she decisively acted.

It turned out Han Yan wasn’t just retaliating out of anger or shame; she intended to establish her authority.

Family Head Fang had been worried that as news of Flying Peak’s exotic flowers and herbs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures spread, more people would come seeking them, among them some formidable and arrogant individuals whom he couldn’t restrain, eventually causing big trouble.

But Han Yan’s act of authority changed everything. For a long time, no one would dare to cause trouble at Fang Family’s Workshop.

Brilliant, truly brilliant. Family Head Fang was full of admiration.

He had wanted to establish their authority to let outsiders see the Fang Family’s strength, but the problem was they had no real strength.

Even if Han Yan and the others took action, it would be hard to strike the right balance. Too light, and there would be no deterrence; too heavy, and they could be seen as bullying customers. It was a dilemma. So although he was worried, he didn’t mention it to Han Yan to avoid adding to his concerns.

Unexpectedly, Han Yan had already considered this and took advantage of the Shangyue group to establish their authority.

Not only did it make people wary of the Fang Family’s Workshop, but it also wouldn’t cause any resentment. On the contrary, by defeating the Shangyue swordsmen and upholding Anyun’s dignity, it gained them considerable praise.

Such smooth sailing is truly impressive.

Family Head Fang, having weathered many storms, often considered himself quick-witted, but compared to Han Yan, he felt inferior.

With such youth, cultivation, talent, and wisdom, what achievements could Han Yan have in the future? Family Head Fang felt his previous evaluation of Han Yan was too low. As long as nothing unexpected happened, not just in Anyun Country, but in the entire Holy Court Continent, Han Yan would surely soar to great heights and achieve greatness.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and seeing that it wasn’t too late yet, Han Yan prepared to return to the Capital. However, before leaving, she handed the silver notes to the guards. Although Miss Mu’s eyes sparkled at the sight of money, she wouldn’t withhold their funds, especially since it was compensation meant for them.

Receiving the silver notes, the guards were moved to tears, repeatedly thanking Han Yan, wishing they could repay her loyalty with their lives.

Family Head Fang watched and was deeply moved. Besides establishing authority, Han Yan also won hearts, proving those who called her a playboy had their eyes covered in mud!

After discussing some Chamber of Commerce matters with Family Head Fang and Zhou Taian, Han Yan returned to the Capital with Ye Lanfeng Huayue and others. Qu Shanling, reluctant to leave his master’s residence, stayed behind.

Han Yan did not insist. With the thriving business at Fang Family’s Workshop, he could also help, having old friends to chat with over tea to avoid solitude.

”By the way, my lord, don’t you find it strange about Yue Fanchen and his companions?” Zirong pondered aloud on the way back.
