Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: I Really Don’t Want to Talk to Idiots

Take that old man with a steady demeanor and a proud expression for example. Perhaps those who live far from the Capital don’t recognize him, but as a native citizen of the Capital, how could Tang Bufan not?

This person is none other than Pang Dezong, Master Pang, the foremost Alchemy Master at Zhengying Academy, Holy Sword Master, chief alchemist of the Anyun court, and interim dean of Zhengying Academy.

The young man speaking was unrecognized by him, but judging by the emblem embroidered on his sword robe, he was clearly a core disciple of Zhengying Academy. With his status, there’s no way he’d speak carelessly, especially in front of the interim dean.

”Mu Hanyan, Eldest Young Master Mu, it’s been a while. I thought I’d have to wait a while longer to see you, but what a coincidence to run into you here,” Zhao Sinin said sarcastically.

Mu Hanyan didn’t understand what this guy was being sarcastic about. He glanced at him disdainfully and couldn’t be bothered to respond.

The townspeople crowded around also looked suddenly enlightened. So this is the so-called number one playboy of the Capital, Mu Hanyan. No wonder he has such a big mouth.

Upon learning of Mu Hanyan’s identity, everyone instinctively moved back a bit. Such a porcelain doll, Jade Baby, even the other pampered scions of various aristocratic families couldn’t provoke him, let alone they.

”With Eldest Young Master Mu’s status, what’s he doing squeezed in with these commoners? I thought you’d soar to the top after being summoned by the Zong Family. But turns out, you’re just as unwelcome. Hahahaha,” ignored by Mu Hanyan, Zhao Sinin felt quite humiliated and followed up with another mocking remark, then let out a few dry laughs.

Only then did Mu Hanyan understand. This guy saw him not sitting in the guest seats but mixed with the common people, and assumed he was neglected and came to gloat.

The surrounding townspeople were initially puzzled as well. After hearing Zhao Sinin’s words, they again came to a sudden realization, and their eyes on Mu Hanyan now bore a hint of schadenfreude.

Commoners never had a good impression of aristocratic playboys, let alone a prime playboy like Mu Hanyan.

”Young Master Zhao, I think you should mind your own business. You’re a grown man, yet why is your brain still so malfunctioning?” Mu Hanyan said compassionately, looking at Zhao Sinin as if he were an idiot.

”What, you dare say my brain is malfunctioning? See this? Do you see what this is? This is the sword robe of a core disciple of Zhengying Academy. I have now been promoted to Sword Master, becoming a core disciple!” Zhao Sinin was provoked by Han Yan’s gaze and recalled his numerous humiliations at Mu Hanyan’s hands, causing him to fly into a rage, pointing to his sword robe.

He didn’t say anything, and Mu Hanyan hadn’t noticed. Upon examination, he realized this guy had indeed been promoted to Sword Master. It’s strange such a character could also become a Sword Master?

”Congratulations,” Mu Hanyan said indifferently. It’s just a Sword Master. What’s there to show off about? He’s so insular. Mu Hanyan looked down upon Zhao Sinin’s petty triumph.

”You’re too kind. By the way, Young Master Mu, I recall you had already been promoted to Sword Master in Heishi City. How come you’re still unwelcome after returning to the Zong Family? Oh, I get it. In Heishi City, you had your city lord father backing you, engaging in corruption, and piling all those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on you to turn you into a Sword Master.

Unfortunately, once you arrived in the Capital, there are no such benefits. I’ve heard your Mu Family also has several remarkable cultivation prodigies in this generation, and no matter how good the cultivation resources, they probably wouldn’t fall into your hands. You instantly revert to form, right? It’s really pitiful. After finally returning to the Zong Family, you’re still unwelcome. You might as well stay obediently in Heishi City.” Mu Hanyan wasn’t interested in responding to Zhao Sinin, yet Zhao Sinin was unwilling to quit easily. He finally found an opportunity to humiliate Mu Hanyan; how could he bear to miss it?

Upon hearing Zhao Sinin’s words, Huayue and her group almost burst out laughing.

Lady Mu lacking cultivation resources? That’s a huge joke. Even the Supreme Elder’s allocation was extorted by her, and yet she would lack cultivation resources? And what about the Mu Family having a few remarkable cultivation prodigies; who could he be referring to? Even the Supreme Elder’s direct disciples were utterly defeated by Lady Mu. Who could claim to be more talented than her? But these things are unknown to outsiders.

As they say, don’t air dirty laundry. Matters concerning the Supreme Elder’s reputation are not easy to discuss for Huayue and her group. They merely looked at Zhao Sinin as if he were an idiot, their eyes full of sympathy. How much brain trauma did this take to imagine things this way? The more arrogantly things are said now, the more painful the slap in the face will be later. This truth has been proven countless times in the case of Big Playboy Mu. Unfortunately, some people never learn from their mistakes and keep charging forward, hitting their heads bloody, determined to go down the wrong path.

Though Huayue and her companions knew the inside story and completely regarded Zhao Sinin as a fool, not everyone knew the full picture.

After listening to Zhao Sinin, the townspeople around, as well as the dozen or so mentors from Long Yan Academy, had thoughtful expressions.

Mu Hanyan’s reputation as the number one playboy of the Capital was well-known among these Long Yan Academy mentors. They were all aware of his shamelessly reckless playboy antics, hence their deep disdain.

Seeing Mu Hanyan disregard his status as the direct descendant of the Eight Great Families and squeeze in with commoners (whom they couldn’t scorn openly due to decorum but indeed looked down upon), they somewhat agreed with Zhao Sinin’s words.

Indeed, mud cannot support a wall. After finally being summoned back to the Capital by the Zong Family, it took hardly any time before reverting to form, not even having a place on the observation platform.

So much the better. A playboy like this, with no sense of shame or respect, if truly talented and favored by the Mu Family, would eventually become a scourge for Anyun. Snapping back to reality sooner is the best outcome.

”No need for you to worry about my affairs. Just go do what you need to do. You’re like an incessant fly buzzing around; if you’re not annoyed, I am,” Mu Hanyan said, genuinely irritated by Zhao Sinin’s relentless pestering.

”Mu Hanyan, are you under the impression that, because of your Mu Family status, entering Long Yan Academy is easy? Heh, if that’s what you think, I advise you to abandon that hope. Do you know who is in charge of supervising Long Yan Academy’s admissions this time? It’s Gong Hongru, Master Gong!” Zhao Sinin continued, refusing to pass up the rare chance.

With these words, the accompanying Long Yan Academy mentors all wore solemn expressions. The townspeople, momentarily surprised, then revealed looks of excitement, and Tang Bufan’s expression darkened further.
