Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Embrace and Farewell

Even without knowing his identity as a Saint, Mu Hanyan knew that someone like him would not have many friends, and she could imagine how much pain the death of that person had caused him.

”But now, I think he shouldn’t have died, so I need an answer,” Ye Lanfeng continued.

”Take care, I’ll wait for you to come back.” Mu Hanyan didn’t say much more, she knew that if Ye Lanfeng couldn’t find the answer, he wouldn’t be at peace for the rest of his life. It’s just like how there are things she must do.

”Mm, wait for me to come back.” Ye Lanfeng smiled slightly and suddenly reached out to pull Mu Hanyan into his arms.

Mu Hanyan suddenly fell into this warm embrace, and after a slight pause, she peacefully closed her eyes and reached out to embrace Ye Lanfeng.

Mu Hanfeng, who happened to be walking out of the room, saw this scene and was utterly surprised. Eating dog food early in the morning, his appetite wasn’t that good.

After Ye Lanfeng left, Mu Hanyan turned and saw Mu Hanfeng rolling his eyes.

”Sis, when will you reveal your identity? Don’t you know that seeing two men hugging early in the morning really hurts the eyes?” Mu Hanfeng grumbled.

”I’ll find a suitable opportunity,” Mu Hanyan smiled. She also knew that two men hugging wasn’t aesthetically pleasing. But now wasn’t the right time to reveal her identity. She needed a chance for everyone to accept it. Her parents and grandfather went to great lengths to conceal her identity, which ended up giving her a playboy reputation. She wanted to completely reverse this reputation and reveal her identity before doing so. The playboy turns into a playgirl, which doesn’t sound good either. She never wanted her family to suffer the accusations they had faced in her past life.

”Alright, you manage it yourself. I’m here to say goodbye too, I’m leaving,” Mu Hanfeng said.

”What?” Mu Hanyan was surprised, ”Where are you going?”

”I have my own path to walk, I don’t want to go to the Academy, at least not now.” Mu Hanfeng smiled, his gaze incredibly determined.

Mu Hanyan bowed her head in silence for a moment, then lifted her head and gave Mu Hanfeng a big smile, ”Alright, then go. But remember, don’t put yourself in danger. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

”Yes, yes, yes.” Mu Hanfeng nodded with a smile.

On the same day, Mu Hanyan saw Ye Lanfeng and Mu Hanfeng off, and her heart was inevitably filled with loss.

Mu Hanyan looked up at the sky and exhaled long.

The road is long, she must continue forward.

As the sky was just getting light, a melodious horn sounded in the Capital.

The lingering sound persisted, vast and solemn, as if transporting people through a millennia of time and space. The entire Yunjing City was awakened by the sound of the horn, filled with vitality.

This horn also announced that the Long Yan Academy’s years-long enrollment event was officially commencing today.

In the huge square at the city’s center, it was already a sea of people. Many commoners had arrived the night before to secure their spots, fearing they would miss the chance to witness the excitement.

The Long Yan Academy’s enrollment event is a grand affair in Anyun Country, and with each event, a few talented swordsmen often emerge. Of course, the term swordsmen here doesn’t refer to their cultivation level, but generally to their cultivation profession. In fact, despite their young age, many have already reached the Sword Master Realm, or even the High-level Sword Master level, their strength enough to make many ”old predecessors” who have cultivated for decades sweat with shame.

Also, some unknown young people might make a name for themselves during the selection and embark on the path to becoming strong, becoming a legend of their generation.

Although these things have little to do with the common folks, witnessing the birth of a legendary strongman is a rare opportunity for them, adding a lot to their conversations over meals, and perhaps serving as bragging rights in front of their descendants in the future.

Luxurious carriages flowed in, stopping in the space already designated at one side of the square.

Today’s Yun’an City could be said to be deserted, yet it crowded the square to an impenetrable state, these carriages could directly approach the square, clearly indicating their significance.

As soon as the carriages stopped, young people with dignified air leapt out and walked towards the square with heads held high. Facing them, the onlookers hurriedly gave way.

”Qi Kaiyuan, that’s the Young Master of the Qi Family from Anfeng County, the top family there!”

”The one behind him is the Young Master of the Cheng Family, the top family from Qingshui County, Cheng Zhicheng!”

”And Guan Shanhe, the Young Master of the Guan Family from Longlin County, the top family there!” While avoiding them, people excitedly chattered.

Mu Hanyan was also mingling in the crowd, looking at these renowned young heroes, feeling some inexplicable anticipation in her heart.

She remembered that in her past life, these young heroes in front of her would grow to become true dominators within a few years, but at that time she had nothing to do with them. Unexpectedly, in this life, she had the chance to be fellow students with them.

Of course, they might also become her greatest rivals, but to have a fair showdown with such naturally gifted strong individuals is a rare opportunity for growth.

Seeing these young heroes destined to rise high, Mu Hanyan felt a surge of heroic spirit in her heart.

”Qi Kaiyuan, Cheng Zhicheng, Guan Shanhe... Why are they all here?” Just as Mu Hanyan was feeling stirred, a familiar voice came to her ears.

Turning her head, Mu Hanyan saw Tang Bufan’s face full of frustration and loneliness.

With a quick thought, Mu Hanyan understood why Tang Bufan would be in such a state. With her past life understanding of Tang Bufan, limited talent and strength meant he had no chance of being chosen by the Long Yan Academy.

She remembered that they met in the past life because Tang Bufan was rejected by the Four Great Academies, and unwilling to accept it, he went on a journey during which they met, and with her help... or more accurately, with her charity, he barely advanced to the Sword Master Realm.

The fate of Tang Bufan in this life has made a subtle change, his strength far surpassing what it was in the past life, and if nothing unexpected occurs, he actually has a good chance to be chosen by the Long Yan Academy.

But luck isn’t on his side, as Qi Kaiyuan, Cheng Zhicheng, Guan Shanhe and other famous family talents all showed up for this enrollment selection. After all, with limited spots available, with their participation, Tang Bufan’s chance naturally diminishes.

This truly is a time of flourishing talents! Mu Hanyan thought to herself.

”What, are you scared?” Fen Qianji asked calmly, still the same as ever, dressed in black, wielding a heavy sword, his stance as straight as the sword.

”Not really scared, but regardless of talent or strength, they’re far superior to me. I heard the Long Yan Academy is only recruiting one hundred disciples this time, and my strength is just slightly lacking. With them here, I have even less of a chance,” Tang Bufan said, disheartened.

Fen Qianji looked at Tang Bufan and then glanced at Qi Kaiyuan and the others, opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, remained silent.

Mu Hanyan shook her head quietly; still the same Fen Qianji as before, straightforward and blunt. Knowing Tang Bufan spoke the truth, he didn’t even bother to offer comfort.
