Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1768: Chapter 1768: The Foolish Girl Who Doesn’t Know Her Place

Although her impression of Wen Gaoren significantly improved, if this situation occurred outside Huayu City, Mu Hanyan might not bother much, as she needed to conceal her identity and avoid causing unnecessary trouble. But this was Huayu Temple, and Wen Gaoren was their invited guest. If he was beaten and taken away just like that, Huayu Temple’s dignity would be utterly compromised.

More importantly, the moment they arrived, they indiscriminately injured Yan Qingshan and Qi Ming. If she couldn’t seek justice for them, how would others perceive her as the Master Priest?

When Mu Hanyan initially took on the role of the Main Priest, she promised An Xiaxin and the others to lead Huayu Temple out of its predicament, to restore its former glory, not just survive in disgrace.

Alright, setting aside Huayu Temple’s dignity and the prestige of the Main Priest, how could Lady Mu, with her nature, pretend nothing happened? If she could tolerate even this, she wouldn’t be the renowned playboy of Anyun.

In life, one must have some steadfastness, some belief. One must never stand by and watch one’s people suffer bullying and humiliation. This is Lady Mu’s belief.

As she spoke, Mu Hanyan’s hand was already placed on the sword’s hilt. While her expression and tone appeared calm, there was an undeniable arrogance and confidence.

Ou Mingzhi’s pupils slightly contracted. Although the white cloud pattern on her priest robe indicated that Mu Hanyan was merely a Level 8 Divine Priest, for some reason, her composure instilled a sense of danger in him.

Being early designated as the Young Master by his family, his aptitude surpassed that of Long Wudang, with even stronger divine sense and sharper intuition towards danger.

”Hahaha, an ignorant little girl. Does your Huayu Temple have the qualification to be noticed by my Young Master?” a follower laughed recklessly. He didn’t possess Ou Mingzhi’s strong divine sense and naturally couldn’t see what was threatening about Mu Hanyan.

”Why waste words with them, Young Master? These self-righteous trash still think Huayu Temple is what it used to be. Without Lord Divine’s protection, they’re nothing. If they dare to babble, just beat them up. If they provoke us, wipe them out directly,” another escort spoke even more brazenly.

”Silence,” Ou Mingzhi reprimanded with a stern face.

The followers were slightly startled, only then noticing that the Young Master was regarding Mu Hanyan with an unusual, solemn expression compared to usual.

Could it be that this little girl possessed some remarkable qualities? Yet, looking at her priest robe, she’s merely a Level 8 Divine Priest. Despite the perplexity, no one dared to defy Ou Mingzhi, obediently shutting their mouths.

”You are the Main Priest of Huayu Temple, what’s your name?” Ou Mingzhi asked in a superior manner.

Despite the ambiguous sense of danger this woman evoked, he felt by virtue of his status and strength, he should not fear based solely on intuition.

”Mu Hanyan,” she remained as composed as if unaffected by honor or disgrace.

”So, it’s Priest Mu. Today’s incident was indeed reckless on our part, and I apologize to you. However, Wen Gaoren is a Priest from Lingyu Divine Hall, essentially a family matter. We hope Master Priest will not intervene,” Ou Mingzhi stated.

Upon hearing this, the followers behind him looked surprised. In their memory, the Young Master had never humbled himself to apologize like this before. Could Mu Hanyan, the Main Priest of Huayu Temple, be truly intimidating enough to warrant such respect?
