Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1659: Chapter 1659: Ye Lanfeng, the Overprotective Husband

”I just gave him an elixir, do you really think I did it out of goodwill?” Ye Lanfeng winked mischievously at Mu Hanyan and said.

”Didn’t you?” Mu Hanyan knew Ye Lanfeng’s personality well. Although he often wore a warm and gentle smile, there was always a sense of detachment about him, and except for his friends and family, he never actively approached anyone. Seeing him offer an elixir to Shao Chengxiong just now, she thought it was out of camaraderie, but now she realized she was probably mistaken.

”With his pride, the more others show concern for him after he fails, the more humiliated he feels, and the more agitated he becomes. Afterwards, he will only continue to fail, each time worse than the last.” Ye Lanfeng showed a rare hint of a mischievous smile.

”Oh...” Mu Hanyan looked at Ye Lanfeng in surprise, this really didn’t seem like his personality.

”I had no choice; he and I are both Saints and he started earlier than me by a few years. I couldn’t take action against him, so I had to find another way to teach him a lesson.” Ye Lanfeng feigned helplessness as he spoke.

”So his unfortunate outcome was all your doing.” Seeing another side of Ye Lanfeng, Mu Hanyan was at a loss for what to make of it.

”You can’t say that; from his first failure, I knew he couldn’t succeed. We were the ones actively coordinating with him before, and he had no spare energy to coordinate with us. So even if I didn’t set him up, he would still fail, just wasting our mental energy.” Ye Lanfeng shook his head and said earnestly.

”What if I also fail?” Mu Hanyan asked curiously.

”Will you fail?” Ye Lanfeng gazed into Mu Hanyan’s eyes, asking with deeper meaning.

”You noticed?” Mu Hanyan also looked at Ye Lanfeng.

”I didn’t realize it before, but once we returned to this graveyard, I discovered that the power contained within this barrier is indeed a legacy of your Nine Heavens Star Fall and Star Falling in Eight Desolates, so you will not fail.” Ye Lanfeng said confidently.

Looking into Ye Lanfeng’s determined eyes, Mu Hanyan smiled.

He was absolutely right. It was when Ye Lanfeng and the others first used the hand gestures and the great door appeared, that she realized this barrier’s power was indeed a legacy of her Nine Heavens Star Fall and Star Falling in Eight Desolates. If this barrier were considered an array, then the array base’s core would be Nine Heavens Star Fall and Star Falling in Eight Desolates. Though not identical, the foundation was unchanged.

This was precisely the reason why she chose to take action.

Of course, the barrier was far more complex than she had imagined, and the twelve hand gestures were profoundly mysterious. Even though she had long learned those two sword techniques, it took her three full days to comprehend them.

Among everyone, only Ye Lanfeng knew this secret, and only he knew all her secrets, which felt truly wonderful!

Upon entering the graveyard, Ye Lanfeng didn’t say much, nor did he need to, as everyone understood what needed to be done. From the moment they stepped into the graveyard, countless sacred and solemn lights emanated from the tombstones, filling the space with their presence.

An unprecedented divine rhythm emerged at the same time. Through this rhythm, they could sense the rise and set of the sun and moon, the alternation of yin and yang, the change of seasons. Their emotions shifted from inexplicable joy to sadness, clearly reflecting the ancient powers’ understanding of the law, embodying their life’s joys and sorrows within the rhythm.

Their Qi flowed autonomously, sometimes rapidly, sometimes slowly. Their emotions fluctuated uncontrollably, their bodies exhibiting a certain resonance as if aligning with the divine rhythm. Everyone understood that they needed their resonance to harmonize with the divine rhythm to receive the inheritance of an ancient power.

They couldn’t do anything but try to suppress their inner excitement, maintaining mental tranquility.

They also felt that this divine rhythm, although not as overwhelmingly powerful as previous trials, seemed devoid of danger, but was actually extremely perilous.

Because the divine rhythm continuously changed, and their Qi flow shifted accordingly—quickly, slowly, strongly, weakly—their emotions swayed. Over time, it could damage their meridians and energy sea, or even severely harm their divine sense.

Thankfully, the twelve Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows floated above them, casting gentle and kindly gazes. Under their watchful eyes, their emotions were surprisingly calm, as if immersed in warm waters. Their meridians and energy sea became several times more tenacious, impervious to the changes in the divine rhythm, their Qi flow, or their emotional fluctuations.

No wonder Ye Lanfeng said that the appearance of the Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows was the best opportunity to receive a powerful inheritance; that was the reason.

Success or failure depended on fate, and everyone quietly awaited, their mental state entering a realm of clarity.

Mu Hanyan, however, was astounded. The divine rhythm enshrouded her from the outside, feeling as if it was a part of her body, merely asleep, now awakening.

Her Qi flow and emotions didn’t change with the divine rhythm, but curiously, any minute change in the rhythm subtly aligned with her Qi flow and emotions.

If obtaining the ancient powers’ inheritance required timing and luck, she had countless opportunities at that moment. Yet, neither her divine sense nor her body felt any different, and naturally, she didn’t receive any inheritance.

How could it be so? Mu Hanyan thought carefully and suddenly realized.

From the memories that had awakened before, the powers of the Guardian of the Gods likely originated from her. In the memories, Ye Yanran and Jiang Qiling from another existence even owed their lives to her. The so-called power inheritances, their abilities were parts of her own powers that she already possessed, perhaps even stronger, but they lay dormant within her bloodline, never having awakened. How could she receive their inheritance? That would be the wrong way around.

After all this effort, it turns out this trip beneath the Heavenly Curtain was for nothing.

Though the results were anticlimactic, Mu Hanyan found it amusing yet frustrating. But on second thought, if she hadn’t come to the North Abyss Misty Plain, she wouldn’t have obtained the Phoenix Heart Stone, rescued Jiang Qiling, received help to awaken her Innate Divine Ability, enhanced her Divine Sense to the utmost, or met Qu Shanling and learned another Innate Divine Ability, mastering the Concentrating God Seal. Nor would she have rescued Fen Qianji from the Luoshen Abyss. Thinking this way, she was content.
