Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1125: Watch Me Rip Your Face Off

Oh, right, this old guy was just a residual soul to begin with, not really human, so it’s only natural he’s superior. With that, Han Yan found a reason to comfort himself.

"Remember, my ass. This sword casting technique was well-known by everyone in our time. How did it become a secret technique now? These swordsmiths are just too slow to progress. They’ve been using the same casting techniques for hundreds of thousands of years without any innovation. Not a single word changed, yet they treat it like a treasured secret, transforming a skill everyone knew into an untaught secret. Pathetic, just pathetic," Star Illusion Thousand Machine lamented sorrowfully.

Only then did Han Yan realize that Nie Fangsheng’s so-called ultimate sword casting skill was known by everyone hundreds of thousands of years ago, inferior to even vendor’s stall goods. He strongly agreed with Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s words.

No wonder the cultivators today are not as powerful as in the past. Even swordsmiths are so secretive, it’s no surprise other cultivators are no better.

"As expected of the top recruit in this admission selection, you do have some cleverness." Although Nie Fangsheng was reluctant, he couldn’t outright lie, so he sneered while saying.

"Oh, I really must thank you for your assessment. If what I have is a little cleverness, then those who cheated and fooled many people in the admission selection have great wisdom, right?" Han Yan already had a fire of anger in his heart and retorted coldly. Isn’t it just wanting to vent for the Qiu family? Come on, let’s see if you want to vent or if I tear your face off!

Since Nie Fangsheng was so biased and, as a mentor, bullied his disciple with such despicable means, Han Yan couldn’t be blamed for not respecting teachers and valuing principles.

The expressions of the people present became odd when they heard Han Yan’s words, and their gazes toward Nie Fangsheng became subtle.

"You!!! Don’t think that just because you’re a little clever, you can disregard the academy’s mentors. Earlier, you were half-hearted, which is still disrespectful to the mentor. I still have the right to expel you from the Sword Casting Hall!" Nie Fangsheng was so angry at Han Yan’s sarcasm that he felt like vomiting blood. Failing to slander Han Yan, he no longer bothered with any schemes and conspiracies and spoke rudely.

"Lord Nie, as a mentor, you have twisted the truth! For personal vendettas, you’ve abandoned the bottom line of being a teacher!" Han Yan couldn’t believe that Nie Fangsheng, as a mentor, had sunk to such a level, and could no longer hold back, and said angrily. Despite the consideration of him being a mentor and wanting to keep a low profile, Han Yan had not activated his sharp tongue mode. Even so, it made Nie Fangsheng fume with anger.

"Outrageous, you still don’t admit disrespecting your elders even while insulting me!" Nie Fangsheng also angrily scolded.

"I’m scolding you because, as an instructor at Long Yan Academy, you lack self-respect and dignity, using such disgraceful tactics to slander a disciple. If you’re determined to make things difficult for me and refuse to teach me the sword casting technique, just say so. I wouldn’t want to learn from someone like you anyway! Saying I’m disrespectful to my mentor, I absolutely refuse to accept that," Han Yan said, staring straight at Nie Fangsheng without fear.

"Master Nie does seem to have gone a bit too far."

"I heard Master Nie and Master Qiu Yongcheng had originally arranged a marriage between their children, and now that Master Qiu has had his cultivation ruined by Han Yan, naturally he wants to stand up for Master Qiu."

"Even if that’s the case, as a mentor, using his position to bully others goes against the ethics of a teacher."

"Did he forget that Han Yan is a disciple of Master Gong? Master Gong had a major battle with Master Wenren to take him as a disciple. If he had solid evidence to expel Han Yan from the academy for his mistakes, that’d be fine, but using this kind of excuse to give him a hard time, Master Gong likely won’t let it slide if he finds out."

"He probably didn’t expect Han Yan to have such a good memory, and has lost his composure a bit."

"If Master Gong finds out about this, it likely won’t end well for him." Other disciples began whispering amongst themselves using Gathering Qi Transmission.
