Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1682: Chapter 1682: The Millennia-Old Monster

It wasn’t until Han Yan later settled in Mu Family Village that she gradually realized that even without Ye Yi’an’s influence, as long as she was willing to represent the Mu Clan in the Priest assessment, they would not question her identity or origins and would treat her as their own clan member. Because on the Divine Continent, life for refugees without a fief was excessively harsh, and after enjoying a thousand years of prosperity and happiness, they were unwilling to return to the past. Of course, this was all after the fact.

Seeing that Han Yan was without any further doubts, Ye Yi’an performed hand gestures and lifted the soundproof barrier.

Immediately, Han Yan heard the whispered discussions outside. Even after so much time, everyone still envied her for being able to meet Ye Yi’an.

This was a pleasantly surprising discovery for Han Yan. Although her power was greatly suppressed, her Divine Sense hadn’t been affected. If she closed her eyes and focused, she could see through the thick wooden door the envious expressions on the faces of the people outside. Who knows when she would restore her previous cultivation; maintaining such powerful Divine Sense naturally provided her with the greatest life assurance on the Divine Continent.

”Holy Saint, I must trouble you for a moment. In front of outsiders, you can only regard yourself as my junior,” Ye Yi’an said to Han Yan apologetically.

”No problem,” Han Yan gestured dismissively. She then remembered that she hadn’t explained her identity to Ye Yi’an, but how should she explain it? Could she openly tell him about the Holy Master’s actions?

After pondering, Han Yan decided against it. Seeing Ye Yi’an’s fidelity to the Holy Court despite a millennium spent on the Divine Continent, it was clear where his loyalties lay. If he knew what the Holy Master had done, who knows how he would react; perhaps it would be a fatal blow, just like Ye Lanfeng, Dan Tai Changqing, and Shao Chengxiong not long ago.

As for feeling aggrieved or not, Han Yan didn’t care at all; she had always considered Ye Yi’an as a senior, how could she feel aggrieved?

”Then please, Holy Saint, help me up.” Ye Yi’an said.

Having lived for over a thousand years, Ye Yi’an was generous and didn’t fret over the differences in status, speaking candidly to Han Yan.

With Han Yan’s assistance, Ye Yi’an stood up and, trembling, walked towards the door. After taking a few steps, he suddenly said to Han Yan, ”The sword robe you wear is somewhat inappropriate; you should have casual clothes with you, right?”

Han Yan slapped her forehead; indeed, she was still wearing the sword robe of the Holy Court Continent. The villagers of Mu Family Village were not very knowledgeable; they misunderstood her as a Temple Priest, and out of reverence, did not dare to look or think too much, so they hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Now, wearing this sword robe was quite inappropriate.

Fortunately, she had the Star Plate Space, full of spare clothes for changing. Upon reaching Ye Yi’an’s residence behind the ancestral hall, Han Yan changed into a simple long dress. As the eldest lady of the Mu Family, she had been raised as a boy since childhood, thus she carried no air of arrogance and her clothes were mostly simple and plain. Moreover, she had previously observed that the attire of the people from the Divine Continent differed little from those of the Holy Court Continent, so even if there were slight differences, it wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

Seeing Han Yan in this outfit, Ye Yi’an nodded with satisfaction. The Mu Clan lived a wealthy life, and Han Yan’s simplistic long skirt didn’t make her stand out too much among them.

Supporting Ye Yi’an to the doorway, Han Yan pushed open the door, and the glaring light rushed in, bringing with it cries of surprise, as people once again fell to their knees.

”Lord Sacrificial Officer! Lord Sacrificial Officer...” Seeing Ye Yi’an appear, all villagers bowed to the ground, overwhelmed with tears.

It was thanks to this old tributor that their wandering life ended; that they had a place to settle; and that they’ve enjoyed a thousand years of prosperity. In their minds, the old tributor was like a Guardian God.

”Rise, all of you.” Ye Yi’an gestured with his hand.

Everyone stood up simultaneously, none dared to speak, or even breathe heavily, obedient like children in a private school.

”Han Yan is the descendant of an old acquaintance; she came specifically to visit me. She is not yet a Temple Priest, but an Innate Divine Priest,” Ye Yi’an said in a hoarse and low voice.

”What, an Innate Divine Priest!” Out of respect for Ye Yi’an, everyone dared not breathe excessively, but upon hearing this, they exclaimed in surprise, looking at Han Yan with reverence.

Han Yan heard Ye Yi’an inexplicably attaching the title of Innate Divine Priest to her, feeling puzzled at first, but soon realized the reasoning. If she were already a Temple Priest, she could no longer represent the Mu Clan in the Priest assessment, so Ye Yi’an added the title of Innate Divine Priest to her.

Indeed, he was an old monster that had lived for a thousand years; his thoughts were truly meticulous.

However, what did it mean to be an Innate Divine Priest? It seemed quite remarkable.

”An Innate Divine Priest is someone naturally endowed with the Spiritual Intent left behind by the gods in the world, able to condense the Heaven and Earth Power without needing to cultivate the Divine Hall Secret Technique, and can barely perform strange technique similar to Priest Divine Technique.” Seeing Han Yan’s confusion, Ye Yi’an explained.

Only then did Han Yan understand; if she were not a Temple Priest and could still perform Priest Divine Technique, it still wouldn’t make sense. Ye Yi’an’s explanation was a perfect one.

”I have persuaded her to represent our Mu Family Village in Feng City Temple’s Priest assessment, to become Mu Family Village’s new Guardian Priest!” Ye Yi’an increased his volume and continued.

”Ah!” If earlier, hearing Han Yan was an Innate Divine Priest merely surprised them, at this moment, delight was written all over everyone’s faces.

Upon reaching the Divine Continent, Han Yan didn’t know what being an Innate Divine Priest meant. To speak of it, a Divine Priest was merely the lowest level among Temple Priests, equivalent to swordsmen of the Holy Court Continent, but an Innate Divine Priest was akin to a swordsman naturally unlocking the Hidden Meridian, regardless of current strength, future achievements are boundless.

An Innate Divine Priest is exceptionally rare, possibly appearing once every thousand years, and when one does, they are fiercely competed over by various temples and families, making rapid advancement not exaggerated at all. Han Yan, being an Innate Divine Priest, willing to become the Guardian Priest of the Mu Clan, they could hardly believe their ears.

”Lord Sacrificial Officer, is what you said true?” After a while, Mu Chenglin said with a trembling voice.

”Would I joke about something this significant with you?” Ye Yi’an replied with a smile.

”Our Mu Clan is saved, saved indeed!” Receiving a confirmation, Mu Chenglin laughed up at the sky, tears uncontrollably flowing down.
