Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Kudos to Han Yan’s Wit

A heavy pressure was also released. Even if knowing this matter had nothing to do with them, the disciples watching were still trembling all over, and those with weaker minds even collapsed to the ground.

”He claims to be a mentor, yet he acts biased and unjustly, disrespecting the teacher’s virtue, making secret moves in the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array to harm disciples by despicable means. What qualification does he have to be a mentor?” Under that pressure, Han Yan felt as if a giant stone weighing a thousand pounds was on her back but spoke without retreating.

”Is there such a thing?” Jiang Yunhe asked indifferently, seemingly a bit skeptical, but being in a high position for long, he had already mastered the art of not showing joy or anger on his face, so no one knew what he was thinking.

”As a disciple of the academy, how dare I fabricate lies to slander a mentor. I ask Dean Jiang to investigate thoroughly.” Han Yan continued.

”This matter is of great importance. I cannot just believe your one-sided story, but if what you say is true, we cannot wrong you either.” Jiang Yunhe pondered for a moment and then said to Han Yan, ”I will investigate the truth of this matter myself. You all go back for now, and until the truth is unveiled, no one should stir up any more disputes, or they will not be let off easily.”

What? Upon hearing Jiang Yunhe’s words, all the disciples around were astonished once again.

Han Yan severely injured Tian Wenliang, and if Jiang Yunhe had not intervened in time, she might have killed him under her sword. Such a thing had never happened in Long Yan Academy, and logically, such insubordinate acts should result in Han Yan being expelled from the academy; having her cultivation废掉修为 would be expected.

Jiang Yunhe actually lightly let it pass, what was the reason? Could it be that he did not want to offend Lord Gong?

Soon, they dismissed their guess. Being one of the three top experts of Long Yan Academy and the dean of Tenglong Academy, even if he had some reservations about Lord Gong, he would not just lightly dismiss this incident, right?

Tian Wenliang is from the Array Dao Hall, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Soaring Dragon Branch. Han Yan forced Tian Wenliang to flee like a defeated dog, then severely injured him, nearly taking his life with a single sword strike—this is an enormous shame for the Array Dao Hall, the Soaring Dragon Branch, and even Jiang Yunhe himself.

There must be some other reason behind this.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yunhe would not give them an answer; he waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

No matter how many doubts they had, they dared not voice them. One by one, they bowed their heads and retreated respectfully.

Even though they didn’t get an answer, the way they looked at Han Yan was even more reverent. Causing such a huge trouble, Han Yan was unprecedented in Long Yan Academy, yet in the end, even Jiang Yunhe did nothing to her, just lightly dismissed it with a few words. Who would dare to provoke her now?

Not to mention these academy disciples, even other academy mentors might have to weigh carefully if they still intended to cause trouble for Han Yan.

As everyone gradually left, Han Yan, maintaining her composure, saluted Jiang Yunhe and then, with a stern face, led Huayue and others away.

Since Jiang Yunhe had already intervened, Han Yan knew she couldn’t kill Tian Wenliang today. However, to severely wound him and make him lose face in front of other disciples somewhat vented her anger.

”Master, you were quite reckless just now. Fortunately, Master Jiang was lenient and didn’t completely side with Tian Wenliang, or even if Lord Gong intervened, this matter would be hard to resolve peacefully.” After leaving Tenglong Academy, Tan Yu said with lingering fear.

Logically, they should address Lord Gong as Master Gong since they are disciples of Han Yan, but they respect Gong Hongru too much and know that Han Yan accepted them as disciples just to help them stay in Long Yan Academy. They don’t feel qualified to be Gong Hongru’s grand-disciples, so they instinctively call him Lord Gong, not out of disrespect.

”If I wasn’t a bit more reckless, this thing would be even harder to resolve.” Han Yan smiled faintly.

”Oh, Master, what do you mean by that?” Tan Yu and Yu Shulin Feng brothers looked at Han Yan in confusion.

”Although I’m sure Tian Liangwen made secret moves in the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array, my skills in the Array Path are too weak to bring out evidence. If I wasn’t a bit more reckless and made the matter big, just based on my disrespect for my mentor and attacking Tian Wenliang, Jiang Yunhe could drive me out of the academy.

However, by making a big deal out of it, Jiang Yunhe has to reconsider before driving me out. After all, not every Array Master is willing to collude with them. If he really used this as a reason to drive me out, Master wouldn’t sit idly by. By then, the truth about the trickery in the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array would surely be discovered, and how would he wrap things up?” Han Yan said with confidence.

She never believed Jiang Yunhe showed mercy and let her go. If he was truly so fair and magnanimous, how could he have raised a daughter like Jiang Qiling, who seemed difficult and actually full of scheming?

In fact, Han Yan had calculated it all along. Today, she would either swallow the insult or make a big scene; only then could she make the other side worry and openly seek justice for Jiang Yuzhe.

Tan Yu and others looked at Han Yan with admiration, realizing that Han Yan was not acting on impulse but had already planned it out.

Huayue and others were much calmer. Although they were worried when Han Yan made a move, they were only concerned about Tian Wenliang’s Eight Desolate Sword Formation. As for the consequences of Han Yan’s action, they never gave it much thought. They always knew that Han Yan was never someone reckless and impulsive; if she dared to act, she definitely had a backup plan.

”My lord, thank you.” At this moment, Jiang Yuzhe’s voice rang out.

”Yuzhe, you’re awake.” Han Yan’s face finally showed a familiar smile, speaking warmly to Jiang Yuzhe.

”I’ve been awake for a while,” Jiang Yuzhe said.

He had indeed been awake for a while, just too weak to speak. Watching Han Yan and Tian Wenliang’s exchange with half-closed eyes, his heart was tumultuous, especially when Tian Wenliang used the Eight Desolate Sword Formation; his heart, like many others, was in his throat.

Fortunately, Han Yan ultimately defeated Tian Wenliang with no danger, giving him a harsh lesson.

At this moment, Jiang Yuzhe felt nothing but admiration and gratitude towards Han Yan. Even if they were brothers, few would like her, risk being expelled from the academy, or having their cultivation废掉修为, to stand up for him.
