Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1218: Beautiful Dreams, Cruel Reality

Luckily, just as we reached the courtyard gate, we saw Ling Baobao chewing an elixir like he was eating beans, swaying as he walked out.

"I knew you would be fine. Indeed, those with good fortune are protected by the heavens. My Divine Fortune Telling is pretty good, right? Not inferior to the Star Divination Technique of the Holy Court Continent, I managed to get it right." Ling Baobao boasted upon seeing Mu Han Yan.

"You knew Master would be okay?" Tan Yu and the Yu Shulin Feng brothers looked at Ling Baobao in surprise.

"Of course." Ling Baobao looked at Tan Yu and the Yu Shulin Feng brothers as if they were fools.

"Then why didn’t you say so earlier? We worried needlessly." Gu Yushu complained.

"I fainted before I could say anything. I didn’t expect you all to be so filial, your eyes turned red with worry, hahaha." Ling Baobao said with a laugh.

"Next time, finish your sentence before fainting. You’re scaring us to death, you know?" Jiang Yuzhe glared at Ling Baobao, speaking with a heart full of resentment.

Having heard that Mu Han Yan was in danger, with her life at risk, not only were Tan Yu and the others worried, but they were equally concerned.

"Alright, alright, don’t blame him anymore. It’s getting late, everyone should go rest." Mu Han Yan didn’t blame Ling Baobao, instead dismissing everyone to leave.

"Here, don’t keep holding out. Quickly take these elixirs." After everyone else returned to their rooms, Mu Han Yan chased after Ling Baobao, who moved as if his feet were laden with lead, and handed him a few Heavenly Heart Replenishing Qi Pills she had personally refined. These pills were of much higher quality than the ones he was chewing.

"Hehe, you caught me." Ling Baobao took the pills, sat down heavily on the ground, and quickly swallowed them. Only then did a bit of color return to his ashen face.

"Thank you." Mu Han Yan said to Ling Baobao.

She had long noticed that Ling Baobao was just pretending to be energetic. In fact, the Divine Fortune Telling had severely depleted his Primordial Energy, and Mu Han Yan could even smell a faint scent of blood on him. She didn’t know how much blood he had coughed up to divine her fate. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He forced himself to go out just now because he was worried that his divination might not be accurate, unable to put his heart at ease.

"No need to thank me. I’m still counting on you to refine a Divine Artifact for me and send me home. Alright, alright, you have a test tomorrow. Get some rest early." Ling Baobao stood up, waved his hand, and staggered back to his room.

Watching Ling Baobao’s weary steps and recalling Tan Yu and Yu Shulin Feng’s earlier cries with a sobbing tone, as well as the hidden worry in Huayue and the others’ eyes, Mu Han Yan felt a surge of emotion.

By the way, where’s Master? Mu Han Yan suddenly realized that the familiar snoring was absent from the courtyard next door. He must have quietly left the house again... no, it’s that he’s out wandering the world. Regarding this elusive Master, Mu Han Yan could only feel helpless.

...

Early the next morning, everyone headed to the various departments of Long Yan Academy to participate in the bi-monthly assessment.

Although last night they experienced a dangerous battle, Mu Han Yan finally let go of the last bit of suspicion and hatred towards Fen Qianji, feeling great, and easily passed the assessment, obtaining a Trial Token.

Huayue and the others also got their Trial Tokens without any surprises. Without Tian Wenliang making trouble, Jiang Yuzhe also passed smoothly this time.

Later, they participated in the subsequent Sword Dao assessment, and again without any danger, obtained the Trial Tokens.

Each of them had two Trial Tokens, but it was still not enough to join the Illusion Dragon Hall trial. Fortunately, with Ling Baobao’s recent money-making plans and Mu Han Yan’s impressive performances that left everyone in awe, they weren’t short of Silver Taels. They went to the workshop, bought a few more Trial Tokens, getting the needed three for each, and then participated in the Illusion Dragon Hall trial together.

This time, Mu Han Yan certainly wouldn’t undergo meridian clearing and marrow washing again, but her strength still noticeably improved. More importantly, her understanding of the Heaven and Earth Rules deepened.

Mu Han Yan knew that if she wanted to return safely from that Secret Realm trial, the more understanding she had, the better. So, although the Secret Realm had not opened for a long time, she was not in any rush, and even hoped it would come a little later.

After leaving the Illusion Dragon Hall, as usual, the group went to Yingfeng Building to celebrate.

"Master, what do you plan to do next? Are you going to continue studying Alchemy Techniques at Danxin Hall?" At the table, Gu Yushu asked curiously.

"I think I’ll go to the Beast Taming Hall for a look." Mu Han Yan thought and said.

The Alchemy Techniques at Danxin Hall actually stem from the Star Falling Eight Desolate Sword. Once the Master leads you in, you can comprehend on your own, or occasionally seek guidance. Besides, Gong Hongru’s study has left behind many ancient books on Alchemy Dao for her to study. There is really no need to waste all her time at Danxin Hall.

"Oh, you’re going to Beast Taming Hall." Gu Linfeng said with a strange expression.

"What’s wrong? If you have something to say, spit it out, no hiding anything." Mu Han Yan noticed his words had another meaning and put on her Master’s demeanor to reprimand him.

"Oh, there’s a rumor outside saying that whatever you learn, the mentors will suffer bad luck. You’re like a jinx. Maybe you should stick to studying Alchemy Techniques honestly, wait until the gossip dies down, then learn the Beast Taming Technique." Gu Linfeng said honestly.

So that’s it, Mu Han Yan understood that apart from being known as the number one playboy Lady in Long Yan, she also had the nickname of a jinx. If things kept going like this, she would truly become a scourge of Long Yan.

"Don’t worry, this time I won’t cause any more trouble." Mu Han Yan said.

Honestly, she didn’t care about being called a jinx. But she had so many friends around her, a few disciples whom she didn’t want to turn into pariahs because of her own reasons.

With the lessons from Qiu Yongcheng, Nie Fangsheng, Tian Wenliang, and Zhu Tianping, it seemed that no one would dare to mess with her again.

Lady Mu felt that she could finally keep a low profile this time.

Unfortunately, she didn’t realize that hopes are always beautiful, but reality is often cruel. Even if no one dared to make things difficult for her again, some changes were still unpredictable.

Early the next morning, Mu Han Yan went with Zirong to Beast Taming Hall.

The group of Gold Medal Thugs around her, with Huayue learning the Sealing Technique, Jiang Yuzhe studying the Array Formation Technique, and Tang Bufan delving into the Alchemy Technique. Although he reached the Sword Master Realm, his natural talent was only slightly above average, and his combat power still couldn’t compare to Huayue and the others. So, for the moment, he wasn’t considered a Gold Medal Thug. They had already chosen most of what they wanted, leaving Zirong with no choice but to study the Beast Taming Technique.

Familiar with the path, they led Mu Han Yan, and soon the two arrived at the Beast Taming Hall.
