Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1219: Chapter 1219: If I Can’t Afford to Offend You, Can’t I Just Avoid You?

Seeing Han Yan, those hundreds of inner and outer disciples revealed expressions of surprise. Compared to alchemy, Beast Taming Technique is much simpler, and taming Sword Pets greatly enhances combat power, so the disciples of the Beast Taming Hall are more than ten times as many as those in Danxin Hall.

”Han Yan, it’s Han Yan, she’s actually practicing Beast Taming Technique again.” Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

”What’s so strange about that? She can even learn alchemy, learning Beast Taming Technique would be a piece of cake for her,” someone said calmly.

”It looks like she’s planning to learn all the strange and mysterious arts at Long Yan Academy. Such talent is simply unprecedented; cultivating alongside her is truly a kind of sorrow,” someone said dejectedly.

”Our sorrow doesn’t matter, it’s the mentors’ sorrow that we’re unsure about,” someone else said thoughtfully.

”I hope the mentors won’t bother her again. I heard that Mr. Zhu from Danxin Hall got his nose bruised and swollen, and that Sun and Moon Red Pill Furnace still hasn’t been fixed yet.” Other disciples secretly prayed for the mentors.

At the same time, in the inner hall of the Beast Taming Hall, several elders with white beards frowned as they watched Han Yan approaching from afar.

”Do any of you have any conflicts with Han Yan?” asked the oldest elder.

His name was Deng Yingjie, the Hall Master of the Beast Taming Hall.

”No,” the two mentors beside him shook their heads simultaneously.

”Do any of your family members have any conflicts with her?” Hall Master Deng continued to ask.

”None,” the two mentors thought for a while and shook their heads again.

”Then, do you have any distant relatives, like your little brother-in-law’s nephew’s brother-in-law’s father-in-law or something, that have conflicts with her?” Hall Master Deng continued to ask.

”...Sir, our little brother-in-law’s nephew’s brother-in-law’s father-in-law is ourselves,” after pondering for a long time, the two mentors finally realized, carefully saying.

”Uh...” Hall Master Deng’s old face turned red.

”In short, do any of your relatives and friends, including those distant ones, have any conflicts with Han Yan?” Hall Master Deng asked embarrassedly and angrily.

”No, absolutely not,” the two mentors patted their chests and said.

”That’s good, that’s good,” Hall Master Deng patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

”Hall Master, are you worried we might trouble Han Yan?” the two mentors asked.

”Nonsense, Qiu Yongcheng tried to stand up for the Qiu Family and ended up crippled in the Beast Soul Hall. The other day, I went to see him, watching him hobble out of the academy with a cane was truly pitiful.

Tian Wenliang wanted to go against her, and now he’s still bedridden, unable to get up. When I saw him yesterday, just mentioning Han Yan made his face full of tears, as if a flood had been unleashed.

Zhu Tianping made things difficult for her, not only did his ancestral Pill Furnace get destroyed, but he was also blown up with blue lumps all over his head. Fortunately, he used ancestral rules as a cover, so his actions seemed justified, not too despicable, which spared him serious injuries.

Then there’s Nie Fangsheng, I’ve heard that ever since Han Yan humiliated him publicly, the shock was too great, his whole demeanor has changed. Nowadays, he talks to himself all the time. If this continues, he’ll likely go insane.

If either of you dares to go against her, who knows what fate awaits you,” Hall Master Deng mentioned Qiu Yongcheng and other colleagues, feeling a sense of sympathy, with a face full of sorrow.

”Rest assured, Hall Master, even if there were conflicts, we wouldn’t dare to seek trouble with her, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?” Since even the Hall Master feared Han Yan so much, the two mentors honestly said without saving face.

To be honest, they were previously worried that the Hall Master, due to his longstanding relationship with Qiu Yongcheng and Zhu Tianping, might go against Han Yan, yet who could have imagined that he was even more apprehensive of Han Yan than themselves, instead reminding them. This unexpectedly set their anxious hearts completely at ease.

”It’s best that you think this way. I’ll leave today’s matters at the Beast Taming Hall to you. I’m going into seclusion,” Hall Master Deng said, stroking his beard.

”Seclusion?” The two looked at Hall Master Deng in surprise.

”Why can’t I? I’m the Hall Master, can’t even go into seclusion?” Hall Master Deng rolled his eyes and said.

”Of course, you can,” the two mentors simultaneously wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads.

They’ve been at the Beast Taming Hall for over thirty years and have known Hall Master Deng for more than fifty years, but it’s the first time they’ve heard he wants to go into seclusion. Clearly, the seclusion is a pretext, avoiding Han Yan is the truth.

To think a Hall Master can be scared to this degree, Han Yan is truly talented.

”Alright, I’m off. You be careful and mustn’t cause any trouble,” Hall Master Deng said and swiftly turned around, running off.

Leaving the two staring at each other, speechless.

”Master Zhu, I’ve suddenly had an epiphany and perhaps found a breakthrough opportunity, might as well go into seclusion,” one mentor said after a long silence.

”Liang Congrong, don’t give me that, your cultivation hasn’t progressed in over ten years, and an opportunity? Tell me, how did that opportunity come about, was it scared out by Han Yan?” Master Zhu said disdainfully.

”Hehe, why don’t we play a game of fists, whoever loses stays behind,” having known each other for years, knowing each other’s background well, Master Liang wasn’t angry at Master Zhu’s piercing words, instead, he laughed.

”Alright, what shall we play?” Master Zhu immediately accepted the challenge. Frankly, he also didn’t want to face Han Yan, so it’s better to avoid if possible.

”How about rock-paper-scissors, that’s the only thing I know,” Master Liang said.

”That’s the only thing you know... alright, rock-paper-scissors it is,” Master Zhu taunted Master Liang again.

”Scissors... rock... paper... You cheated, deliberately hesitated, redo.”

”Scissors... rock... paper... Do you have no shame, you’re cheating even in rock-paper-scissors, redo!”

”Scissors... rock... paper...”

If outsiders saw, the two grand Beast Taming Masters of the Beast Taming Hall actually playing rock-paper-scissors and arguing until their faces turned red, they’d be astounded.

If they knew the reason for playing was to avoid Han Yan, they’d be even astounded.

”Alright, this time you have no argument, I win, today the Beast Taming Hall is yours.” Finally, the two settled the score, Master Zhu looked pleased and laughed brightly, almost happier than when selected by Long Yan Academy.

It’s understandable, even if he hadn’t been selected by Long Yan Academy, his life wouldn’t be threatened, yet encountering Han Yan, even if he didn’t die, it might be worse than death.
