Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Everyone Thinks She’s Marching to Her Death

”Alright, this matter is indeed a bit peculiar, but the temperament of the Palace Guardian Beast Soul is not something we can fathom, so let’s not discuss this further.” Master Qin, evidently not believing this matter had anything to do with Han Yan, waved his hand as he spoke.

”Lord Lu, Lord Zhou, Lord Li, weren’t you planning to participate in the trial as well? Do you still want to go in?” Master Qin then addressed the mentors.

”I am feeling unwell today, perhaps another day.”

”I just sensed a breakthrough opportunity, I plan to come after I’ve had a breakthrough.”

”The academy just started, and I’m overwhelmed with work, maybe some other time, some other time.” The mentors’ expressions changed simultaneously as they declined.

They originally intended to try the Beast Soul Hall’s trial themselves, but seeing Qiu Yongcheng’s outcome, none of them dared.

”In that case, let’s leave it for another time, everyone else can disperse as well.” Master Qin wouldn’t force them, waving his hand, he didn’t look down upon them for this.

The trial at the Beast Soul Hall was perilous enough, not to mention today’s unexpected events; even his self from decades ago would hesitate.

Master Qin said nothing more, leaving the mentors a bit embarrassed as they lowered their heads to leave.

Seeing them leave, Master Qin was also about to go.

”Wait, Master Qin,” Qiu Zizhong suddenly called out.

”What is it now?” Master Qin inquired.

”Wasn’t there someone else who wanted to join the trial?” Qiu Zizhong said with a sinister smile, looking towards Mu Hanyan.

Why did Qiu Yongcheng go to the Beast Soul Hall for the trial? Ultimately, it was because of Mu Hanyan. Now that Qiu Yongcheng’s cultivation is wasted, Mu Hanyan stands by watching the spectacle, how could he tolerate that?

Didn’t Mu Hanyan boast about going to the Beast Soul Hall for the trial? Let him go meet his demise.

”Yes, didn’t Young Master Mu say he wanted to join the Beast Soul Hall trial? Didn’t he forget?”

”I guess he didn’t forget, probably just scared.”

”He is the eldest grandson of the Mu Family’s Zong Family Patriarch, and topped the enrollment selection this time, how could he be scared? You all underestimate him.” A disciple from the Qiu Family saw Qiu Zizhong’s intention and mocked provocatively.

”Enough, it’s just a joke, no need to take it seriously.” Master Qin frowned.

He had heard about the grudges between Mu Hanyan and the Qiu Family, knowing Qiu Zizhong’s intentions were just to provoke Mu Hanyan, hoping he’d go to the Beast Soul Hall to his death on impulse.

Given Mu Hanyan’s brave act of defending Anyun’s honor by defeating Yue Fanchen, Master Qin held a favorable impression of him and, being Gong Hongru’s disciple, he didn’t want Mu Hanyan risking his life impulsively.

Seeing Master Qin defending Mu Hanyan, Qiu Zizhong and the others were helpless, having no choice but to keep quiet.

”Master Qin, they are right, I indeed want to undergo a trial in the Beast Soul Hall.” To everyone’s surprise, Mu Hanyan spoke.

”What are you talking about?” Even Master Qin thought he misheard, asking in surprise.

”I want to go into the Beast Soul Hall for a trial.” Mu Hanyan’s tone was calmly serene, yet his expression was decided.

This time, everyone heard clearly, even Qiu Zizhong and the Qiu Family’s disciples looked at Mu Hanyan in shock.

Though they wished to provoke Mu Hanyan to go to his death at the Beast Soul Hall, they knew he wasn’t that gullible.

From their failed attempt to frame Mu Hanyan before, they learned this so-called Capital’s number one playboy was far from being the brainless scion abusing family power; his mind was deeper than most. How could he be provoked by some ridicule to run to his death?

Yet, to their utmost surprise, Mu Hanyan really intended to go to his death.

Indeed, a suicide mission. Even their Third Uncle Qiu Yongcheng, a Great Sword Master Realm expert, ended up with shattered Qi Sea and collapse of cultivation; how could Mu Hanyan survive the Beast Soul Hall?

Especially considering the earlier incidents being so strange, even those originally geared up for the trial mentors changed their minds, and Mu Hanyan still intended to go; wasn’t this a death wish?

”Young Master Mu, don’t act impulsively.” Tan Yu thought Mu Hanyan had reconsidered after Master Qin’s advice, or at least after seeing Qiu Yongcheng’s outcome, but he hadn’t wavered at all.

”I’m not acting on impulse; I’ve made a firm decision.” Mu Hanyan said.

Tan Yu then noticed Mu Hanyan’s demeanor was calm and composed, with no sign of impulsiveness.

”Han Yan, do you really want to go?” Huayue and others were also surprised, seriously asking Mu Hanyan.

By calling him by name rather than honorifics or titles, it indicated at this moment, they regarded Mu Hanyan not as the master but purely as a friend.

”Yes.” Seeing their genuine concern, Mu Hanyan slowly nodded.

”If so, then we won’t persuade you further. Do be careful.” Huayue solemnly stated.

They knew if Mu Hanyan insisted on going, she must have her reasons, and no amount of persuasion would deter her.

”Don’t worry, I won’t risk my life recklessly.” Mu Hanyan smiled faintly.

Indeed, it was Huayue and others who understood her best and trusted her most. No need for excessive dialogue, or repeated evaluation of pros and cons to persuade; just letting her sense their concern was enough.

Just as Huayue and the others realized, she insisted on going to the Beast Soul Hall for a trial for a reason.

At this moment, ancient incomprehensible and strange sounds still echoed intermittently in her mind, forming segments of seemingly true yet false ancient spells, while faint and illusory handprints appeared and disappeared in her mind.

Spirit Summoning Beast Language! As for the Beast Language, Mu Hanyan was no longer as unfamiliar as before, instantly recognizing the echoes in her mind were exactly the Spirit Summoning Beast Language Xia Youchen longed for in dreams.

In truth, during her last time at Flying Peak, she could already understand Little Qiongqi’s Divine Beast language, but the Spirit Summoning Beast Language now echoing in her mind was more obscure and ancient, containing mysterious power; if she guessed correctly, this language was far older than the Qiongqi Beast Language.

The faintly appearing and disappearing handprints bore the mysterious atmosphere of the Heaven and Earth Contract. Contract Technique, Mu Hanyan was certain this was the Beast God Contract Technique used for taming Exotic Beasts and even Divine Beasts.

Evidently, the Beast God memory in her mind had unlocked a part, allowing her to grasp the Spirit Summoning Beast Language and the Beast God Contract Technique, though regrettably, her understanding was still insufficient.
