Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1859: Chapter 1859: Bullying the Weak, but Never Fearing the Wicked

”Then as you wish, tomorrow, I will accept the challenge of the Twelve Priests.” Han Yan finally erupted in anger. As the number one playgirl of Anyun, she may bully the weak, but she has never feared evil, and would never yield to oppression.

Even upon coming to the Divine Continent, she would not change.

”Priest Mu, since it’s your own decision, don’t blame us if anything goes wrong.” Long Aoli feigned concern.

”No need for Priest Dragon to remind me, I know. Let’s go.” Han Yan shot a cold glance at Long Aoli and the others, leading Sikong Qinglan and others out of the square.

Behind them, laughter filled with derision from Long Aoli and others echoed.

”Youngster, unschooled in advance and retreat, now it’s time to learn the hard way.” A Master Priest spoke seemingly with sympathy but was actually gloating.

”It’s just as well, more lessons will only benefit her in the future.”

”Indeed, and fortunately it was us she encountered. If she doesn’t change her flamboyant ways, who knows what troubles lie ahead when she meets others.” Two other priests pretended to speak earnestly, though inwardly were elated: Let’s see you show-off and embarrass us, now you know our strength, right?

Long Wucuo and others now understood the true intention of the Master Priests. Watching Han Yan’s departing figure, they all wore cold smiles. In Long Wucuo’s eyes, a murderous intent subtly emerged.

Originally, he thought there would be no chance to confront Han Yan, but to prevent the strange treasure from falling into others’ hands, the Master Priests actually concocted such rules.

He and Ou Mingzhi had already agreed that they would never let Han Yan leave Tianyang City alive. Today, having been humiliated by Han Yan in public, he hated her deeply, and even without Ou Mingzhi’s influence, he would not give Han Yan a chance to survive.

Tomorrow, tomorrow will be Han Yan’s demise. Long Wucuo thought inwardly, his expression growing somewhat sinister.

”What, Long Aoli and others, as Hall Masters, are so despicable and shameless, clearly trying to trouble Master Priest?” In the Gu Residence, Gu Qingyang was furious upon hearing the events of the temple ritual, especially Long Aoli’s final words.

”No, Master Priest must not accept their challenge. Even if she defeats them one by one, she won’t have the strength left to face the Master Priests.” After venting his anger, Gu Qingyang advised earnestly.

”I’ve already agreed.” Han Yan said calmly. Since things couldn’t be changed, she wasn’t as angry as before; being angry would change nothing.

”Alas, Master Priest was too rash. Knowing their intentions, why still agree?” Gu Qingyang sighed.

”If not, just forfeit tomorrow. We can’t just jump into the pit they’ve dug for us.” Shen Yuhe hesitated but still advised.

Although a bit embarrassing, it’s better than losing face, more so when she knows Long Wucuo harbors murderous intent towards Han Yan. Having seen his strength today, how could she not worry for Han Yan’s safety?

Sikong Qinglan said nothing, nor did he oppose Shen Yuhe’s suggestion. He actually knew Han Yan’s true origins, and gradually, like those such as Huayue before, developed a nearly blind trust in Han Yan. However, trust is trust, and reality is reality. The method devised by Long Aoli and others was indeed malicious. Unless Han Yan had supreme ability, breaking through their encirclement was impossible, and she might meet her demise in Tianyang City.

On the Competition Platform, swords and daggers have no eyes, and the Master Priests are mutually complicit. Should something happen, the Life God Temple might not stand for Han Yan, as even Lord Divine had long abandoned Huayu Temple, leaving them to their fate. The Life God Temple could not stand for her either.

”Master Priest, Right Priest’s words are reasonable. If worst comes to worst, it might be best to forfeit.” Even Wen Gaoren couldn’t help but advise.

”You needn’t persuade me, my decision is made. Though Huayu Temple is improving, it’s still far from the Heavenly Sun Temple and others. The Heaven and Earth Treasures are said to be of great benefit to the temples, and I won’t miss this chance.” Han Yan stated firmly.

Though she had already acquired quite a few Five-Colored Soul Pearls, and cultivation resources seemed plentiful for now, Han Yan knew that the higher the cultivation, the more vast the required resources would become. Eventually, she would run out.

It’s said that upon reaching the level of Divine Heart Priest in cultivation, one can go to the Life God Temple to procure more abundant cultivation resources. However, given Han Yan’s unique identity, if possible, she would avoid going. Thus, a strong Huayu Temple is her greatest support. Of course, such things shouldn’t be disclosed to others; the fewer who know, the better.

Seeing Han Yan so devoted to the Huayu Temple, willing to risk herself for the pledge made upon becoming Master Priest, Shen Yuhe felt both moved and deeply ashamed, thus opted not to say more.

”If that’s the case, I won’t advise Master Priest further, only the battle tomorrow will undoubtedly be perilous. I urge Master Priest to prepare in advance.” Gu Qingyang also bowed in respect.

Having decided to move to Huayu City, there was no need to retain the industry in Tianyang City, so today, he had already sold the remaining shops in the city, keeping part to restart business in Huayu City, and converted part into Elixirs, which could come in handy now.

”Thank you, Family Head Gu.” Han Yan, knowing Gu Qingyang’s generous and straightforward character, accepted the Elixirs without fuss.

”I won’t disturb Master Priest’s rest. I shall take my leave.” Gu Qingyang then took his leave.

”Let’s go as well, so as not to disturb Master Priest’s rest.” Shen Yuhe said to Sikong Qinglan and others.

”Wait, I have a few words to say to Master Priest, you go ahead.” Sikong Qinglan didn’t leave, instead pondering aloud.

Seeing he had something to say, Shen Yuhe and the others had to leave first.

”If there’s something, speak,” Han Yan said.

”Master Priest, since you’ve decided to accept tomorrow’s challenge, I won’t dissuade you, but Long Wucuo’s Death Shield is really formidable. I wonder if Master Priest has thought of a countermeasure?” Sikong Qinglan said.

”Qinglan, do you have any suggestions?” Han Yan asked.

”Actually, the various laws on the Divine Continent have some mutual relationships of generation and restraint. If used well, defeating the strong with the weak is not impossible. I think Master Priest could put some effort into various areas.” Sikong Qinglan said.
