Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 975: Encountering the Little Follower from a Past Life

"So it’s really you. My name is Tang Bufan. You saved my life, and I will repay you with all my might one day." Tang Bufan bowed to Mu Hanyan with gratitude."It’s nothing, just a small favor, don’t worry about it. Take these elixirs to heal your wounds." Mu Hanyan looked at Tang Bufan with concern and handed over a few bottles of elixir.

"How could I take them? I already owe you a big favor. I can’t accept your elixirs as well." Tang Bufan declined.

"As a man, you shouldn’t be so hesitant. I told you to take them, so just take them." Mu Hanyan insisted, pushing the elixirs over.

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony." Tang Bufan in front of him was just like in his past life, straightforwardly accepting the elixirs without hesitation.

In the past, Mu Hanyan always thought Tang Bufan was too calculating, clinging to her like sticky candy, only wanting to win her favor to get some cultivation resources, and she looked down on him at least a little.

But seeing him risk his life for her and ultimately sacrificing his life, Mu Hanyan realized she was wrong. He wasn’t as calculating as she thought; instead, he was unwaveringly loyal to her. He turned out to be her most dependable friend and partner. Though, at that time, Mu Hanyan didn’t understand why Tang Bufan was so loyal to her, even at the end.

Seeing Tang Bufan graciously take her elixirs now, unlike the disdain she showed in her previous life, Mu Hanyan felt a sense of comfort instead.

In the past life, she actually treated him unjustly. In this life, she must make it up to him properly. Mu Hanyan secretly decided.

"Let’s go." Fen Qianji said to Tang Bufan.

"Young Master Mu, farewell." Tang Bufan cheerfully bowed to Mu Hanyan and left together with Fen Qianji.

"By the way, what brought you here?" Watching them leave, Mu Hanyan felt a bit of emptiness and couldn’t help but ask.

"Young Master Mu, don’t misunderstand. I brought Brother Fen here; he has nothing to do with this." Hearing Mu Hanyan’s question, Tang Bufan suddenly remembered that Mu Hanyan once said this Flying Peak is his territory. Afraid that Mu Hanyan’s playboy nature might flare up and trouble them, though it wasn’t a concern for himself, he didn’t want to implicate Fen Qianji and quickly explained.

"How did you know the secret here?" Mu Hanyan was even more surprised after hearing Tang Bufan’s answer.

"Don’t worry; if he hadn’t intervened earlier, I would have been gravely injured if not dead, and definitely wouldn’t make it difficult for you." Seeing what he was worried about, Mu Hanyan added.

"Actually, it was a coincidence. Years ago, while cultivating at Flying Peak, I heard strange noises beneath the peak, like landslides and earthquakes, and later saw a heavily injured man and woman escape. I then suspected there might be hidden Ancient Relics here.

At that time, my strength was too weak to take risks. Recently my strength increased a bit, so I wanted to come and see if I could find some Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures to enhance my cultivation, aiming to be selected during Long Yan Academy’s enrollment selection. Brother Fen worried I might encounter danger, so he accompanied me here." Tang Bufan explained honestly without hiding anything.

Mu Hanyan’s mind flashed with Spirit Light, suddenly remembered that in her past life, Tang Bufan also mentioned this to her. However, she looked down on his character back then and didn’t take his strength seriously, so she didn’t pay much attention to his words. Most importantly, they were deep in the Longyan Mountain range cultivating, at a critical moment of advancing to Great Sword Master, thus having no time to distract. Therefore, it was delayed. Until the moment of death, she never had the chance to explore.

In this life, because of Tang Bufan’s improved strength and the early appearance of Fen Qianji, things changed.

Thinking about strength, Mu Hanyan noticed Tang Bufan’s cultivation had reached Ninth Rank Swordsman, recalling in her past life she only met him years later when he was Eighth Rank Swordsman.

Strange, in this life there’s clearly no interaction between them, yet how could a rebirth change his life’s trajectory?

Mu Hanyan felt surprised, but it wasn’t the first time such things happened. As the saying goes, pulling one hair affects the whole body, who knows what unnoticed actions led the cycle of cause and effect to Tang Bufan, she stopped overthinking it, knowing pondering wouldn’t yield answers, just self-imposed trouble anyway.

Regarding the man and woman he mentioned, Mu Hanyan didn’t have to rack her brain, she could tell it must be Zhang Chihua and his wife.

Glancing at Zhang Chihua, indeed, he also showed a sudden realization.

"If I guessed correctly, there should be some treasure hidden in the relic. Only, we didn’t find it earlier. Since we’ve come and taken such a big risk, leaving empty-handed is too unrewarding. Why don’t you stay and search together?" Mu Hanyan suggested to Tang Bufan.

Not considering anything else, just remembering Tang Bufan died for her in the past life, she wouldn’t treat him as an outsider. Sharing benefits, she wouldn’t forget him.

"No need, we thought it was a masterless place, that’s why we came. Since it already has a master, we should leave." Fen Qianji firmly refused, assisting Tang Bufan to leave.

Mu Hanyan’s lips moved, but in the end, she dismissed the idea of persuading them to stay. That’s Fen Qianji’s character, calm as water yet straightforward, and precisely because of such personality they became best friends in the past life.

But also because of this, Mu Hanyan couldn’t understand until the end why he would stab with that sword from behind? It didn’t match his character at all.

"Alas, his personality is indeed too stubborn." Summer Youchen shook his head with a wry smile, watching Fen Qianji and the others leave.

"Did you know each other before?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.

Fen Qianji’s background was always a mystery. Seeing Summer Youchen knew Fen Qianji, Mu Hanyan seized the chance to ask.

"I saw him once some days ago when I went to the Capital. Seeing his extraordinary bone structure, I wanted to take him as a disciple, but he was completely unmoved. Unexpectedly, a few days later I saw him again here. I planned to bring it up again, but before I could, he saw through my intention and refused directly." Summer Youchen said regretfully.

"Oh, so that’s it." Mu Hanyan then realized Summer Youchen didn’t have much interaction with Fen Qianji, felt a bit disappointed, and asked, "And how did you find this place?"

"Wasn’t it that Qiongqi, almost got tricked to death by that fellow." Summer Youchen said angrily, obviously in a bad mood when mentioning this.

"Speaking of your Qiongqi Divine Beast, why didn’t you have it with you?" Mu Hanyan asked more curiously, not bothered by Summer Youchen’s mood.

She couldn’t figure out earlier why Summer Youchen wouldn’t summon the Qiongqi Divine Beast even in a life-and-death situation. What was he up to?
