Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1213: Seeing His Smile

However, before appearing, Mu Hanyan decisively changed into men’s clothing and also covered her face with a scarf.

After all, Wei Wenshan was from the Holy Court, and Mu Hanyan didn’t want a direct confrontation with them.

Fortunately, the space inside the Star Plate could be used for cultivation and storage, and it had plenty of men’s clothes.

"Who are you?" Wei Wenshan was slightly startled and looked at Mu Hanyan with vigilance.

"It’s not that easy to kill someone from the temple." Mu Hanyan thought, since she was already disguised, she might as well impersonate someone from the temple, and spoke in a low and indifferent voice.

She had dressed as a man for so many years, so mimicking a man posed no challenge to her.

"You’re from the temple!" Wei Wenshan was shocked.

"If you don’t want to die, then hurry up and get lost." Mu Hanyan said bluntly.

Although she didn’t want a direct conflict with the Holy Court, she was filled with contempt for Wei Wenshan. From the previous conversation between him and Fen Qianji, she realized that Wei Wenshan had lost control, and Fen Qianji had kindly tried to save him, only to be discovered by him. Wei Wenshan then took advantage of Fen Qianji’s weakened state from saving him and secretly poisoned him.

Even if the Holy Court and the temple were mortal enemies, such repaying kindness with betrayal was overly despicable.

Okay, even if he acted out of righteousness and duty, his intention to attack Tang Bufan was incredibly brutal.

If she didn’t want to cause trouble for Ye Lanfeng, she really wanted to kill him on the spot and be done with it.

"It’s your lucky day; I’ll let you off for now. But he has been poisoned by the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill. I want to see how you plan to save him." Wei Wenshan weighed the situation, smiled sinisterly, then turned and left gracefully.

Mu Hanyan sighed in relief; Wei Wenshan was not weak and was a Holy Court member—if a serious fight broke out, she wouldn’t have much chance of winning.

But luckily, Wei Wenshan weighed his options and gave up the fight, likely because he believed Fen Qianji, poisoned, would surely face disaster even if temporarily spared. Leaving another "temple’s leftover," he thought he could deal with them later.

"How are you feeling?" As soon as Wei Wenshan disappeared from sight, Mu Hanyan quickly went to Fen Qianji’s side. Seeing the deep wounds, she involuntarily remembered the moments they fought side by side in the past life, feeling an agonizing pain.

"I’m fine, you should leave; I know you aren’t from the temple, there’s no need to get involved." Fen Qianji forced a smile, speaking with difficulty.

Seeing his smile, Mu Hanyan felt even more sorrowful. Actually, after Fen Qianji was severely injured outside of Jing City’s market, saving a child from under the iron hooves of the Red Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast, she realized that beneath Fen Qianji’s seemingly cold exterior lay a kind heart. From that moment on, her deep hatred for Fen Qianji started to subtly change. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Let’s leave here first." Mu Hanyan aided Fen Qianji, saying.

Though Wei Wenshan had created a soundproof barrier earlier, Longyan Continent was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Who knew if Wei Wenshan’s simple barrier could conceal them from those old demons’ senses? Mu Hanyan decided they should leave here first.

Otherwise, if Fen Qianji’s identity were exposed, the entire Holy Court Continent might not offer him any place to stay.

"You don’t have to worry about me. The poison from the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill is indeed powerful, I won’t last long. You need to leave quickly, lest I bring you harm." Fen Qianji pushed Mu Hanyan away, refusing her help.

It seemed he had heard of the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill’s legend and didn’t want to implicate Mu Hanyan.

"Stop wasting time, let’s go." Mu Hanyan’s eyes became somewhat moist. She remembered in their past life, they faced similar situations. Against a formidable enemy, the heavily injured Fen Qianji didn’t want to become a burden, insisting on staying behind. However, their luck was good; every time, by sticking together and fighting bravely, they eventually turned adversity into safety.

But this time, Fen Qianji was poisoned. If she really left him, he would truly perish.

She pulled Fen Qianji up and headed towards Wenjian Valley. With its lush vegetation and tranquil depths, finding a temporary hiding place for him shouldn’t be difficult.

Seeing Mu Hanyan’s resolute demeanor, Fen Qianji knew he couldn’t argue with her and obediently walked forward with her support.

"Watch out!" Fen Qianji suddenly exclaimed.

A frosty sword light sliced through the darkness, stabbing viciously like a venomous snake towards Mu Hanyan’s back.

Having cooperated countless times before, although Fen Qianji wasn’t fully aware, Mu Hanyan was already instinctively vigilant. Before Fen Qianji could speak, she sensed something was wrong from his instinctual body tension, swiftly turning around and striking out with a sword.

Sparks flew, a powerful force surged forth, and Mu Hanyan was shaken back several steps.

Her opponent didn’t give her any respite, pressing on with consecutive sword thrusts.

Their strikes were infinitely clever and ferocious; the decisive killing intent sent chills down one’s spine.

Mu Hanyan hastily defended, finding herself overwhelmed and forced into retreat.

Only then did Mu Hanyan see clearly—it was Wei Wenshan who attacked. Such cunning, such vileness—he feigned departure only to return unexpectedly, catching Mu Hanyan off guard.

Nonetheless, being Mu Hanyan, with two lifetimes of combat experience vastly exceeding ordinary people’s, she soon regained her footing after several exchanges, delivering a Nine Heavens Star Fall that pushed Wei Wenshan back two steps.

"Mu Hanyan, so it’s you! As a citizen of the Holy Court Continent and a descendant of one of the Eight Great Families of the Capital, you collude with temple insurgents! Aren’t you afraid of bringing ruin to the Mu Family?" With the Nine Heavens Star Fall strike, Wei Wenshan finally recognized Mu Hanyan’s identity and said coldly.

Mu Hanyan didn’t reply; she just took a deep breath and gripped her sword tightly.

Since her identity was unveiled by Wei Wenshan, this battle was destined to fight until death; otherwise, not only would she suffer trouble, but Ye Lanfeng might also be implicated, and even the Mu Family might face calamity.

Mu Hanyan steeled her heart, continuously channeling her cultivation technique. The Cold Sky Sword was covered with a layer of frost, and the surrounding air turned chillingly cold.

"Seems you’ve truly decided to ally with these temple heretics. So be it; I will fulfill you, Mu Hanyan, Fen Qianji—you both must die!" Wei Wenshan shouted angrily, an overwhelming aura bursting forth.

"Quickly go!" Fen Qianji’s expression changed drastically.

Mu Hanyan was also shocked; Eighth Rank Sword Master—this guy was Eighth Rank!

Mu Hanyan was angry enough to curse aloud; Eighth Rank Sword Master clearly had the power to rely on strength—yet insisted on playing tricks and poisoning, wasn’t this pitiful... oh wait, wasn’t this bloody annoying?
