Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1273: Dandy Young Prince

"General Yue, Lord Mu is an envoy of Anyun, you must not lose decorum." Zeng Wenxin frowned and said.

"An envoy my ass, he’s clearly going to Sword Sound Academy to attend the freshman competition. Such a short distance, he can go on his own, but he insists on an escort. Isn’t he just looking for something to do when he’s already full? Tell them to hurry up and move out; I’ve already arranged to spend the night with Miss Yue’er from Zuixian Inn, and now they’re ruining my plans." General Yue said impatiently, turning away with a swaggering gait.

Then, without paying attention to Mu Hanyan and the others, he ordered the soldiers to mount their horses and gallop towards the opposite side of the canyon. Judging by his demeanor, if Mu Hanyan didn’t set off today, they would really leave them behind.

"Please forgive him, Lord Mu, that’s just his temper. Even the Emperor can’t do much about it." Zeng Wenxin smiled wryly and apologized to Mu Hanyan, clearly hinting at something. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Is he a prince?" Mu Hanyan asked. Hearing Zeng Wenxin call him General Yue and seeing his air of a dandy, Mu Hanyan guessed he was part of the Shangyue royal family. But upon hearing Zeng Xinwen say even the Emperor couldn’t control him, she realized this playboy was more important than she originally thought.

"He’s not actually a prince, but the heir of Prince Anxi. Prince Anxi passed prematurely, leaving behind only this son named Zhu Xiuqing. He was supposed to inherit the title upon coming of age, but the Emperor delayed it due to his lack of composure. This time, to welcome you, he was put in charge of the escort to give him some training. But, well, please forgive him, Lord Mu." Zeng Wenxin said, a bit embarrassed.

The Shangyue people faced the Anyun people with arrogance, but they aren’t completely ignorant. Zeng Wenxin, being the Vice Minister Hong Ru, must feel ashamed to be associated with such a dandy.

"Never mind, let’s set off." Mu Hanyan said with a slight smile.

She’s seen enough of these playboys and wouldn’t let such a small matter bother her.

Soon, the carriage crossed the border, chasing after Zhu Xiuqing’s troop.

Zhu Xiuqing glanced back, barely acknowledging them, engrossed in jovial conversation with the soldiers about romantic exploits, as evidenced by the embarrassed blush on the nearby soldiers’ faces. Yet he remained oblivious, animatedly recounting his tales.

"Roar!" Just as they reached the canyon’s center, a beast’s roar resounded.

From the canyon’s depths charged an Exotic Beast, its body covered in menacing armor plates, emitting a thunderous roar of fury.

Fierce Stone Demon! Mu Hanyan was startled. This Exotic Beast was renowned for its ferocity and strong defense, known as the Fierce Stone Demon.

"Form up, form up!" The soldiers beside Zhu Xiuqing quickly stopped listening to his nonsense and hastily organized themselves.

It seemed they were following orders from their true leader, while Zhu Xiuqing was just reluctantly tagging along to pass the time.

"Never seen the world, a little reptile frightened you like this!" Zhu Xiuqing sneered disdainfully, leaping towards the Fierce Stone Demon.

As soon as he made a move, Mu Hanyan knew things were bad.

This dandy young prince’s strength was not weak, as a Third Stage Sword Master, but it was obvious he lacked combat experience. His fundamentals were shaky, and his cultivation was likely boosted by elixirs rather than his own hard work.

Whereas she had personally witnessed the Fierce Stone Demon’s power at the Beast Taming Hall when encountering Hall Master Deng’s Sword Pet. Without Taowu’s help, even she wouldn’t have managed.

With his half-baked Third Stage Sword Master skills, rushing like this is a death wish!
