Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1093: Big Playboy vs. Little Witch

"Others now are not a useless person, nor the number one playboy, but a hero who defeated the strong from Shangyue and upheld Anyun’s honor." The guard said with some pride. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

During the enrollment selection a few days ago, Mu Hanyan and Yue Fanchen’s battle, he was fortunate to witness with his own eyes and was invigorated by it.

"What do you mean?" These academy disciples had just returned from training and arrived at the Capital today. Although they had heard of Big Playboy Mu’s name, they knew nothing about the enrollment selection event from a few days ago.

"During the enrollment selection a few days ago, swordsmen from Shangyue Country came to provoke, their strength extremely formidable. Fortunately, there was Mu Hanyan..." The guard passionately recounted the events of the enrollment selection.

"Unexpectedly, this Mu Hanyan has such strength and talent. It’s no wonder he could comprehend Master Swordsmanship and enter the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart realm." After hearing his words, everyone gasped, and recalling their previous mockery of Mu Hanyan, they felt deeply ashamed.

"This Mu Hanyan comes from a distinguished background and has such talent and strength. At such a young age, he has already comprehended the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart. His future achievements will undoubtedly be limitless, a perfect opportunity to get to know him." Someone said with interest.

On the Holy Court Continent, the strong are revered, and to depend on or follow and be loyal to the strong is by no means disgraceful; it is even considered an honor.

Listening to him, others were clearly somewhat moved.

"That’s easier said than done, but Mu Hanyan has offended people he shouldn’t have. Upon entering Long Yan Academy, perhaps he will instead waste his years." The guard sighed sympathetically.

"What’s going on?" The academy disciples looked at him unanimously, puzzled.

Without holding back, the guard recounted the conflict between Mu Hanyan and Jiang Qiling.

After his words, everyone fell silent. Jiang Qiling’s reputation in Long Yan Academy was well-known.

In fact, even before Mu Hanyan comprehended Master Swordsmanship, it was said that another person also comprehended Master Swordsmanship and entered the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart realm. That person was none other than Jiang Qiling.

Although only Jiang Yunhe and Jiang Qiling were present at the time, with no one else around to confirm whether it was true or not, after the news spread, Jiang Yunhe did not deny it, always responding with a calm smile whenever the matter was brought up. Given his status as the dean of the Soaring Dragon Branch and one of the academy’s three masters, he had no need to boast, so the matter likely held true.

Therefore, Jiang Qiling’s aptitude and strength, and future achievements, may not necessarily be beneath Mu Hanyan.

Mu Hanyan studied under Gong Hongru, while Jiang Qiling was Jiang Yunhe’s only daughter. Naturally, there’s no comparison in closeness or distance. Moreover, Jiang Qiling had been domineering and rebellious since childhood, and her notoriety as the Little Witch of Long Yan Academy was far more resounding than Mu Hanyan’s fame as the Capital’s number one playboy.

To befriend Mu Hanyan and offend Jiang Qiling was truly an unwise choice! Perhaps Mu Hanyan might not suffer a major loss against Jiang Qiling, but they didn’t want to be the unfortunate little fish harmed by the battle of giants.

Soon, those academy disciples dispersed one by one, never mentioning befriending Mu Hanyan again. Not only did they dare not approach Mu Hanyan, but they even decided to keep a respectful distance.

In the distance, Jiang Qiling and others watched Mu Hanyan’s group with varied expressions.

"This Mu Hanyan really didn’t disappoint me, and even exceeded my expectations a bit." Jiang Qiling mused, her habitual cold smile still on her lips.

"His aptitude is indeed good, but he may not necessarily surpass Junior Sister. You should know Junior Sister comprehended Master Swordsmanship a year ago. Although she didn’t enter the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart realm, she was much earlier than him." The young swordsman beside her habitually flattered, but his face was clearly pale.

Who was stronger, Mu Hanyan or Jiang Qiling? They dared not ascertain, but one thing they were sure of—Mu Hanyan’s talent and strength far exceeded theirs, making it easy for him to deal with them.

Thinking of their previous mockery of Mu Hanyan, they felt a chill of fear, thankful Mu Hanyan hadn’t retaliated; otherwise, caught off guard, even Jiang Qiling might not have been able to save them. After all, both were rare prodigies. Even if Mu Hanyan didn’t surpass Jiang Qiling, he wouldn’t be far behind, and could potentially be even stronger than Jiang Qiling.

Of course, this speculation they dared not voice.

"What, are you scared?" Seeing their trepidation, Jiang Qiling coldly laughed.

"How could we be scared? Perhaps outside the academy, we might let him off a bit. But coming to Long Yan Academy, daring to offend Junior Sister, he’s just courting trouble." They were actually scared to death but dared not admit it in front of Jiang Qiling, forcedly maintaining composure, saying as they squeezed out smiles more unsightly than crying.

"Good to understand. Spread the word of the previous events; I want him isolated and vulnerable without a foothold in Long Yan Academy." Jiang Qiling said coldly.

"Yes, Junior Sister." The two young swordsman’s eyes brightened.

The situation within Long Yan Academy was actually far more complex than outsiders imagined; achievement was not solely dependent on talent. Once the news of Mu Hanyan opposing Jiang Qiling spread, not to mention ordinary academy disciples, even the tutors may hesitate to associate closely with Mu Hanyan.

At that point, even with Gong Hongru backing him, he would struggle to achieve. Admittedly, their dream was indeed quite splendid, and now it was daytime, making it an extraordinary daydream.

Soon, the news of Mu Hanyan offending Jiang Qiling spread throughout Long Yan Academy, not only because of Jiang Qizhong and others’ swift actions but because the feud between Mu Hanyan and Jiang Qiling had already been spread intentionally or unintentionally.

No surprise, as Mu Hanyan was currently in the limelight. If unaware of the enrollment selection events, one might overlook them; but once known, anyone would pay special attention to her. And Jiang Qiling’s nickname as Little Witch Long Yan was no less known than Mu Hanyan’s as Capital’s first playboy. Once these two clashed, it would naturally ignite a blaze of gossip.

Apart from their aptitude and strength, in terms of background and notoriety within the academy, Jiang Qiling clearly overshadowed Mu Hanyan.

Thus, shortly after Mu Hanyan’s group entered the academy, they noticed an unusual phenomenon. Wherever they went, groups of academy disciples would immediately disperse, some gazing afar, others pondering deeply, but none looked at them directly. And once they passed, these disciples would gather, converse animatedly.

Mu Hanyan felt as though she’d returned to Heishi City, remembering when she’d just resurrected. After consecutively dealing with Yuan Tianbo and Fourth Miss Zhao, when the fame of Heishi City’s number one playboy had just spread, the city’s people feared her like venomous snakes and fierce tigers—in the exact same manner.
