Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: A Mother-in-Law’s Gaze at Her Son-in-Law

Mu Hanyan felt a bit helpless; her grandmother really was thick-skinned. Just moments ago, she seemed worried sick, but now she’s teasing her without a care again.

”He’s not, just a good friend. Grandma, don’t make fun of others,” Mu Hanyan said shyly, even though she was quite carefree, she was always a bit embarrassed in front of her grandmother.

As they spoke, Ye Lanfeng’s tall and graceful figure had already arrived before them.

”Lanfeng, this is my grandmother,” Mu Hanyan introduced. Her grandmother’s injury caused by forbidden techniques had already been relayed to Ye Lanfeng by Angang, so there was no need to explain further.

”Junior Ye Lanfeng, greets the grandmother... oh wait, greets Senior Lu.” Ye Lanfeng respectfully bowed, suddenly realizing the mistake in addressing her as grandmother and promptly corrected it.

Mu Hanyan gave Ye Lanfeng a stern look. Though Ye Lanfeng seemed earnest in correcting his mistake, she sharply noticed the hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

On purpose, this guy did it on purpose!

”Haha, good, good, you are Ye Lanfeng, very good, very good.” Lu Nianxin looked at Ye Lanfeng, with the look of a mother-in-law increasingly fond of her son-in-law, only a generation removed.

Perhaps because Yue Fanling ran away from home years ago, and due to the relationship between Shangyue and Anyun, Lu Nianxin didn’t even attend her daughter’s wedding, holding too many regrets in her heart, she subconsciously assumed the role of a mother-in-law.

”Lanfeng, I will call you this from now on, hope you don’t mind an old lady being presumptuous,” Lu Nianxin smiled, almost explicitly saying, ”I call you my granddaughter’s husband, hope you don’t mind.”

”Senior Lu’s favoring of a junior is indeed my good fortune.” Ye Lanfeng, at this moment, showed none of the authority of a Saint; although his words were proper, his respectful face and smile resembled a soon-to-be son-in-law currying favor with his mother-in-law.

”I say, are you guys done yet?” Mu Hanyan couldn’t stand it anymore and said angrily.

”Hanyan, since Lanfeng is your good friend, he’s our honored guest here at the Zue Family in Shangyue. How could you give attitude in front of our guest? That’s not the way to treat a guest.” Lu Nianxin said seriously.

”Well, Senior Lu is not wrong.” Ye Lanfeng nodded in agreement, seemingly flattering but less obviously than Zirong.

”Alright, alright, I admit it, this guy is indeed your future grandson-in-law and Prince Consort, happy now? Grandma, no need to be courteous with him.” Mu Hanyan, unable to deal with the two, could only roll her eyes.

She wondered why these two hit it off so well upon meeting and found teaming up to tease her amusing.

”Hahaha...” Finally, Lu Nianxin burst out laughing.

Ye Lanfeng looked at Mu Hanyan, also showing a smile.

Huayue and others couldn’t hold back any longer, now that they didn’t have to endure it, all showed a good-natured smile, making the atmosphere joyful and removing earlier tension.

”Grandma, let me check you first.” After a while, Ye Lanfeng put away his smile and said to Lu Nianxin.

”Then I’ll trouble you; having a Saint take action is indeed my blessing.” Lu Nianxin said while extending her hand.

It turned out she had already discerned Ye Lanfeng’s identity; it wasn’t surprising. Various Royal Families and Holy Court relations were already complex. Having traveled the world in her early years, she was no stranger to the Holy Court. Given Ye Lanfeng’s age, strength, and bearing, guessing his identity wasn’t difficult.

Ye Lanfeng smiled and held onto Lu Nianxin’s pulse.

Gradually, Ye Lanfeng’s expression became serious, and Mu Hanyan’s mood followed suit, becoming uneasy and anxious.

”Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell! How can this be possible?” After a long time, Ye Lanfeng withdrew his hand, furrowing his brow without waiting for Mu Hanyan and others to ask.

”What is Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell?” Mu Hanyan, having never heard of such forbidden technique, asked.

”Your earlier speculation was correct, grandmother’s injury is not a major concern. The reason her power is restricted is actually due to strange and mysterious arts.

The Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell is an ancient Forbidden Technique, prevalent over a million years ago before the Continent split. But as the Continent split, laws in both continents became incomplete, rendering the Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell useless, and it gradually fell into disuse. I’ve only seen its record in ancient books treasured by the Holy Court.

I have no idea who could have learned this technique lost for millions of years, and what perplexes me more is that the Heaven and Earth Power on the Holy Court Continent is incomplete. Whether Holy Court experts or temple experts, even if learned, no one should be able to use it.” Ye Lanfeng explained, looking as though he had many unanswered questions.

”Can you undo it?” Mu Hanyan asked anxiously. Who made the move? How was the move made? These weren’t the issues she was concerned with now.

She had thought the arrival of Ye Lanfeng would easily resolve grandmother’s troubles, but Ye Lanfeng’s words made her realize she had underestimated the complexity of the problem.

Ye Lanfeng did not respond immediately, but began to ponder deeply. Seeing his unprecedentedly grave expression, Mu Hanyan felt her heart grow heavy and increasingly apprehensive.

”Maybe there is a way.” After a long time, Ye Lanfeng finally spoke.

”Quickly tell us, what way?” Although Ye Lanfeng appeared to lack confidence when saying these words, Mu Hanyan still saw hope and urgently asked.

”Due to the incomplete Heaven and Earth Rules of the Holy Court Continent, I can’t fathom how that person could cast the Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell, but it must have been extremely challenging. Likewise, undoing this spell is exceedingly difficult.

According to my deductions from recorded accounts in the ancient books, to undo this technique, the Holy Emperor Sword Energy from the Holy Court must open up grandmother’s entire meridians, while the Divine Heart Sacrificial Technique from the temple must unlock the seals hidden within the Qi Sea and Heart Meridian.

Neither Holy Emperor Sword Energy nor Divine Heart Sacrificial Technique is mild; they inevitably risk harming grandmother’s meridians and Qi Sea, possibly even affecting her Heart Meridian. Meridians aside, if Qi Sea and Heart Meridian are damaged, the consequences are unimaginable. Hence, at least two Medical Saints must protect grandmother’s Qi Sea and Heart Meridian simultaneously.” Ye Lanfeng explained slowly.

”So difficult!” Jiang Yuzhe couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at Ye Lanfeng’s words, and Huayue and others also frowned. The requirements truly seemed daunting.

”I have practiced the Holy Emperor Sword Energy myself, opening up grandmother’s meridians isn’t overwhelmingly difficult, but the Divine Heart Sacrificial Technique from the temple is beyond my capability. It’s one of the temple’s highest-level secret techniques, not something typical temple members can cultivate, and finding two Medical Saints in Sword Saint Realm isn’t easy either.” Ye Lanfeng said with difficulty.
