Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066: Revenge Can’t Wait Until the Next Day—Such Ruthless Methods

With the current experts, the Qiu Family can barely support itself for a few decades. However, after at most a few decades, the Qiu Family will inevitably face a lack of resources, and other families will naturally rise in power. The Qiu Family will have a hard time maintaining its current status, and even its foothold in East State County will be in question.

For a moment, the Family Head Qiu felt hopeless, but having learned from past lessons, he dared not speak again.

Gong Hongru’s words were not just alarmism. With just one more word, all of the Qiu Family’s disciples at Long Yan Academy would be expelled. In that case, it won’t take decades; within a few years, the Qiu Family would be divided and devoured by other wealthy families, marching toward ruin.

In just a short moment, Family Head Qiu seemed to age several decades, walking towards the viewing seats in despair.

Watching his decrepit figure, not a single person sympathized. Daring to disdain the prestige of Long Yan Academy and resort to deceit right under Gong Hongru’s nose, the Qiu Family brought this upon themselves.

”Mu Hanyan, how did you find out about Qiu Ping’an’s cheating?” Just as everyone was secretly lamenting, Gong Hongru asked.

Everyone’s gaze turned again to Mu Hanyan. They were very curious, as even the academy tutors hadn’t noticed anything suspicious. Among them, two had even fought over Qiu Ping’an with flushed faces. How did Mu Hanyan discover it?

”Well, I noticed earlier that his sword seemed unusual, which made me suspect something,” Mu Hanyan replied.

In fact, she had used the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique to call upon her Divine Sense, and with her powerful Six Senses, she easily noted that Qiu Ping’an’s Mental State was much calmer than other swordsmen, unaffected by the Heart Enlightenment Sword’s influence.

At first, Mu Hanyan was secretly amazed, thinking this guy was indeed extraordinary, unaffected by the Heart Enlightenment Sword. But seeing him sweating profusely and shaking all over, she sensed something was off. If he was unaffected by the Heart Enlightenment Sword, why was he struggling so much?

A quick thought revealed that this guy was just pretending. Why pretend, if not guilty of something?

However, Mu Hanyan wasn’t aware the issue lay with that sword. She thought the guy hadn’t comprehended the Sword’s Profound Meaning but was just defending his Mental State and pretending to pass. It wasn’t until forced to comprehend it again that Qiu Pinghao knew. When one stands before the Heart Enlightenment Sword, it’s not a matter of wanting or not wanting to comprehend it. The reason he could maintain his Mental State was because of that sword.

Of course, she wouldn’t reveal these things. Using Divine Sense to probe others is almost equivalent to cheating. Lady Mu wasn’t foolish enough to admit it.

”Why didn’t you say it earlier?” Gong Hongru asked.

”I wasn’t sure then, so I dared not speak carelessly.” Mu Hanyan answered.

”Is that so?” Gong Hongru looked deeply into Mu Hanyan’s eyes, speaking lightly.

”In the presence of an adult, how could I dare lie?” Mu Hanyan smiled slightly, saying.

”Do you think Mu Hanyan did it on purpose? Obviously discovering Qiu Ping’an’s cheating early, yet not speaking until after he entered the selection field and passed the assessment?” A spark of inspiration led someone in the crowd to guess aloud.

”Right, I didn’t think of that. If she had exposed him earlier, at most, Qiu Ping’an would have been expelled from the selection field. But waiting until he passed the assessment to speak? The result is entirely different.”

”Such deep scheming, such ruthless methods. Speaking only half an hour later resulted in Qiu Ping’an’s cultivation being destroyed and barred Qiu family disciples from Long Yan Academy for two hundred years, even other major academies won’t accept them. It’s pushing the Qiu Family to a dead end.”

”Originally thought when Mu Hanyan entered Long Yan Academy, she’d face pressure from Qiu family disciples. Little did anyone think, even before entering the academy, she had already pushed the Qiu Family to a dead end.”

”It’s also Qiu Ping’an’s own fault. If he hadn’t framed Mu Hanyan before, he wouldn’t have faced such a fate! But this Mu Hanyan truly deserves being the Capital’s number one playboy—the revenge doesn’t wait overnight, good methods, good methods.” The others awakened as if from a dream, exclaiming repeatedly.

Soon, the ”ruthless” means of Mu Hanyan spread throughout the place.

”Great, brilliant, truly brilliant.” Huayue and others gave a thumbs up to Mu Hanyan.

Mu Hanyan suddenly felt like crying. I just made up an excuse offhandedly, how did it turn into this in other people’s eyes? Even Huayue’s group believed it to be true.

Heaven, my reputation, has it really become this good...?

Although mistakenly perceived as a vengeful person, Mu Hanyan wasn’t angry. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, was inherently Lady Mu’s true nature.

Qiu Ping’an colluded with other Qiu family disciples to frame her; she never intended to let them off. Originally, she thought she would wait until she entered Long Yan Academy to have her chance, but unexpectedly, this guy was so incompetent, revealing his misdeeds before even entering the academy.

Mu Hanyan’s gaze lingered again on Qiu Zicheng and others. With Qiu Ping’an’s meridians and Qi Sea abolished, even his bones were shattered by the tutor who felt humiliated; there’s no need for her to worry further. But as for Qiu Zicheng and others, she wasn’t going to let them off. Of course, even if she wanted to forgive them, they would never forgive her.

Qiu Zicheng and others glanced at Mu Hanyan stealthily, eyes full of deep hatred.

From the distant viewing stands, Family Head Qiu stared at Mu Hanyan with intense malice. Qiu Ping’an was ruined, the Qiu Family pushed to a dead end, all because of Mu Hanyan. Such a sharp counterattack, such vicious revenge, with just one word, the Qiu Family was pushed to the brink.

However, the Qiu Family isn’t finished yet; at least, for decades, no one can shake their foundation. If one day the Qiu Family does fall, they will drag Mu Hanyan down with them!

”Time is running out, continue.” Gong Hongru said, casting a meaningful glance at Mu Hanyan, and waved his hand.

”Capital, Tang Bufan.”

”Nanxi County, Huayue.”

”Nanxi County, Zirong.”

”Anyang County, Ling Baobao.”

”Capital, Mu Family, Mu Hanyan.”

”Nanxi County, Jiang Family, Jiang Yuzhe.” Names of Tang Bufan, Mu Hanyan, and others sounded one after another.

Originally, Tang Bufan’s number card was quite ahead of Mu Hanyan, but many people withdrew earlier, especially after witnessing Qiu Ping’an’s tragic end. Some young swordsmen, who held their last bit of luck, were frightened and left the queue hastily, grouping Tang Bufan and Mu Hanyan together.

Soon, Mu Hanyan and the other ten people entered the selection field successively, coming before the Heart Enlightenment Sword.
