Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 953: Han Yan Takes Action

"Brother Fen, you go quickly, don’t worry about me." At this moment, an urgent voice was heard.Only then did Mu Hanyan notice that not far behind Fen Qianji and Xia Youfa was a young boy lying on the ground, clearly seriously injured, looking at Fen Qianji with gratitude and apology in his eyes.

And Fen Qianji and Xia Youchen were joining forces to fight against the enemy, resisting the siege of those Sword Masters and Exotic Beasts, all to protect the young boy.

Tang Bufan! Mu Hanyan looked at the young boy in surprise, wasn’t he the one in the previous life who clung to her like sticky candy, wasn’t favored by her, yet ultimately sacrificed his life for her unwaveringly?

She remembered in the past life, it was because of her that Tang Bufan got to know Fen Qianji. In this life, they had actually met in advance, and it seemed that they shared a deep friendship.

Could it be related to her reincarnation as well? Mu Hanyan originally thought that her rebirth would only affect the people around her, like Hua Yuezi and Jiang Yuzhe, but she didn’t expect that the life trajectories of Tang Bufan and Fen Qianji had also changed.

"I brought you in, so naturally I have to take you out." Fen Qianji glanced at Mu Hanyan and frowned, as if recalling someone, seeming a bit bewildered, but quickly shook his head and turned sharply, speaking firmly to Tang Bufan.

Mu Hanyan noticed the confusion in Fen Qianji’s eyes and understood that he had no impression of her. In the previous life, they were once life-and-death friends, later turned into enemies, and finally his deadly blow took her life, yet in this life, they were like strangers. Mu Hanyan suddenly felt a strange sense of nostalgia and lament.

"Brother Fen, I am just a worthless person. If I die, then so be it. Your talents far exceed mine by a hundredfold, a thousandfold. You must not die here. Go quickly!" Tang Bufan’s eyes were moist, shouting anxiously.

"Stop talking nonsense, my life was saved by you. Even if I die here, it accounts for one life for another. Just stay put and watch me kill them all." Fen Qianji said with a face full of coldness.

A warm feeling suddenly welled up in Mu Hanyan’s heart.

The same words, she had heard more than once before, Fen Qianji had said this many times in the previous life.

Upon reflection, when they fought side by side, she had indeed saved Fen Qianji once or twice, but Fen Qianji had saved her not less than ten or twenty times. Every time, he gave it his all, never giving up or retreating even on the brink of death.

Thinking this way, even if she ultimately died by his hand, it was indeed a life for a life, with a light sigh in her heart, Mu Hanyan’s gaze at Fen Qianji began to lose its hostility. Though her heart was less violent, it was still hard to calm. Understanding the truth is necessary, but for now, let’s deal with the current situation.

Listening to their conversation, Mu Hanyan vaguely guessed how they became acquainted. Last time, when saving that child from under the hooves of the Red Charcoal Cloud Smoke Beast, Fen Qianji was seriously injured.

According to her knowledge, Fen Qianji’s background was extremely mysterious, and she even once suspected he was the offspring of some hidden master, yet it was never verified. Anyway, he had no relatives in the Capital and was seriously injured, most likely Tang Bufan saved him back then, and the two became friends.

"Brother Fen!" Just as Mu Hanyan’s mind was racing, Tang Bufan exclaimed.

A Black-armored Swordsman leaped forward, his sword edge slicing across Fen Qianji’s shoulder, leaving a bone-deep wound, with blood gushing out like a spring.

Fen Qianji still maintained a face of indifference, as if he felt no pain, not even frowning, and seized the moment for a long slash with his sword.

With a muffled "Boom," his Broadsword heavily cleaved into the opponent’s chest, sending him flying three zhang away.

"Sword Master First Rank." Mu Hanyan recognized Fen Qianji’s strength.

Although he cleaved the opponent away with a single sword, their situation had not changed significantly, as the opponent outnumbered them by far and was not weak in strength either.

Just as Fen Qianji cleaved his opponent, an Exotic Beast roared, opened its ferocious mouth, and tried to bite the fallen and injured Tang Bufan.

It was only then that Mu Hanyan noticed that this Exotic Beast looked neither like a wolf nor a fox, something she had never seen before. The other two were also ones she had never seen.

Although any wild beast can mutate, awaken an Innate Ability to become an Exotic Beast, and even the same kind of wild beast may mutate into completely different Exotic Beasts, resulting in countless types of Exotic Beasts on the Holy Court Continent that many cannot recognize, Mu Hanyan had trained for a long time in the Longyan Mountain Range, even knowing many of those that never emerged from the depths.

But the ones before her now, she had never encountered.

Speaking of which, these Exotic Beasts were not particularly large or strong. Reasonably, they could not survive in the depths of the Longyan Mountain Range, as there was no space for such weak Exotic Beasts. If they just lived on the outskirts of the Longyan Mountain Range, she had no reason not to recognize them.

Seeing Tang Bufan in danger, Fen Qianji quickly retreated, and Xia Youchen also struck back with his sword.

Yet, just as they attempted to aid him, the remaining Black-armored Sword Masters and the other two Exotic Beasts surged forward as if agreed upon, forcing them to split their attention.

In a moment of crisis, Xia Youchen glanced at Mu Hanyan, wanting to ask for her help, but since they were already enemies and not allies, he figured that even if he asked, Mu Hanyan would not lend a hand and swallowed the words again.

Seeing the beast that looked neither like a wolf nor a fox open its mouth, its bloody fangs aimed at his throat, Tang Bufan instinctively wanted to raise his sword, but heavily injured and unable to muster strength, the Longsword fell to the ground with a clang, his face turning ashen.

"Sword Breaking Mountains, kill!" Fen Qianji’s black hair blew in the wind as he slashed at the Black-armored Sword Master in front of him.

With a muffled sound, that Sword Commander was also cleaved away.

But in that moment of delay, the Exotic Beast had already bit down.

With Tang Bufan about to meet his end in the creature’s jaws, rage blazed in Fen Qianji’s eyes, but he was too late to save him.

Just then, a sword light flashed through, followed by a burst of red light. The Exotic Beast didn’t even have time to scream before it was pierced through with a sword, then flung far away, spilling a shower of blood pearls, unmistakably killed.

The one who made the move was, of course, Mu Hanyan.

Xia Youchen’s fate had nothing to do with her, and she might not care about Fen Qianji’s fate, but she couldn’t let Tang Bufan die, after all, in the previous life, Tang Bufan died for her, she owed him a life.

Seeing Tang Bufan rescued, Fen Qianji finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Mu Hanyan.

Though his face remained stern, his gaze had clearly softened compared to before.
