Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1101: Ling Baobao’s Confession

Hearing this, Han Yan inhaled sharply. Even experts at the Great Sword Master Realm might not be able to defeat the Palace Guardian Beast Soul, and her Fifth Rank Sword Master strength was obviously far from adequate.

"Young Master Mu, I know you mean well for us, but the danger is too great, and we absolutely cannot let you take the risk. Your good intentions are appreciated," Tan Yu continued.

"Yes, at worst we’ll leave the academy; we can’t let you go into danger." Though the Yu Shulin Feng brothers were reluctant, they followed suit.

"You just mentioned that few beneath the Great Sword level have defeated the Palace Guardian Beast Soul, which means someone has succeeded before?" While Han Yan really wanted to help them, she wasn’t reckless. Instead of lightly promising, she cautiously asked.

"Yes, it is said that Lord Gong, hundreds of years ago, defeated the Palace Guardian Beast Soul with Sixth-level Sword Master strength, becoming the youngest mentor at Long Yan Academy. And Lord Wenren Qingqiu defeated the Palace Guardian Beast Soul with Seventh Rank Sword Master strength, thus becoming the dean of the Illusion Dragon Branch," Tan Yu said with a leisurely yearning.

It turns out Master, with merely Sixth-level Sword Master strength, defeated the Palace Guardian Beast Soul, which made Tan Yu and others pale at the mention. Han Yan, Huayue, and others were invigorated upon hearing this, and a sense of pride welled up.

Han Yan’s heart stirred: as a mentor at Long Yan Academy and having defeated the Palace Guardian Beast Soul from the Beast Soul Hall, Master surely knows the dangers, yet he gave her such a suggestion. With his status, perhaps keeping Tan Yu and the Gu Family brothers wasn’t entirely impossible. Could this be a test for her?

Since Master could defeat the Palace Guardian Beast Soul with Sixth-level Sword Master cultivation, and Wenren Qingqiu with Seventh Rank Sword Master cultivation, why couldn’t she?

As a descendant of the Guardian of the Gods, her bloodline had awakened even before sixteen, and her grandfather’s expectations were that she become the pinnacle of the Holy Court Continent’s supreme warriors. Moreover, she possesses the Cangxuan Cloud Silk and the Cold Sky Divine Sword that has ascended to a Divine Artifact. Why couldn’t she surpass them and write a new legend?

Within Han Yan’s mind, a spirit of ambition and resolve was born like never before.

"Where is the Beast Soul Hall?" Han Yan asked.

"You really intend to challenge the Palace Guardian Beast Soul?" Tan Yu initially thought that after saying so much, Han Yan would dispel her earlier idea. Who could have guessed he would look so resolute and ambitious, and said in surprise.

"Indeed, if Master and Senior Wenren can accomplish it, then so can I," Han Yan said confidently.

"Young Master Mu, I know you caught Master Gong’s eye, which must mean you possess something exceptional, whether in aptitude or strength, far beyond common comparison. But that Palace Guardian Divine Beast is truly overwhelmingly strong, I cannot let you take the risk," Tan Yu shook his head and resolutely said.

"Exactly, if you could become Lord Gong’s disciple, your future is boundless, and you don’t need to risk yourself for us." The Gu Family brothers also shook their heads and said.

Though they might be a bit muddled with their weight issues, they were unequivocal on pressing matters.

Han Yan, having lived two lifetimes, had seen many ungrateful and even traitorous people, so seeing them firmly reject his goodwill left him somewhat touched.

"Actually, I’m not just doing this to help you. I also want more experience for myself. Since Master has done it, why can’t I? For me, it’s a rare opportunity for growth as well," Han Yan seriously said.

"If that’s the case, I won’t persuade you anymore. It’s getting late, why don’t you all eat and rest for the night? If you haven’t changed your mind by tomorrow, I’ll take you to the Beast Soul Hall." Seeing Han Yan speak so earnestly, Tan Yu chose not to insist.

He understood that if Han Yan had resolved, there was little they could do to oppose. The Beast Soul Hall isn’t some ancient relic; with a bit of inquiry, its location could easily be found.

"I’ll go cook," Gu Yushu said as he ran to the kitchen.

Before long, a table full of delicious dishes was laid out.

It seemed Gu Yushu, eager to gain weight, had put considerable effort into his cooking skills, perhaps surpassing the chef at Yingfeng Restaurant in the Capital by a margin, even slightly better. Even Zirong and others, not normally interested in gourmet food, found their appetites stimulated and praised the meal endlessly.

After the meal, Tan Yu and the Gu Family brothers said their goodbyes and left, leaving Han Yan, Huayue, Zirong, Jiang Yuzhe, Tang Bufan, and Ling Baobao in the courtyard.

Having arrived at Long Yan Academy on their first day, everyone was a bit excited and not eager to rest, engaging in casual chatter.

"You said you’d tell us about your background once we got into Long Yan Academy," Han Yan reminded Ling Baobao.

"I come from another plane," this time Ling Baobao didn’t hide anything, straightforwardly said.

"What!" Because Ling Baobao spoke so simply and calmly, Han Yan and the others were slightly shocked.

Previously, they had speculated much about Ling Baobao’s identity, perhaps from a top-tier wealthy family, maybe even related to royalty or the disciple of a hidden cultivation expert, but never considered he was from another plane, which was hard to believe.

In fact, they had heard of planes existing outside the Holy Court Continent, and that if one cultivated to the extreme, they could break the Plane Law and reach other planes. But looking at Ling Baobao, it didn’t seem he possessed that level of strength.

"I come from another plane, but entirely different from what you know. The plane spaces you’ve heard of are essentially akin to the Holy Court Continent, with similar space laws, just more powerful.

But from the plane I came from, your space laws are entirely different, so my Alchemy, Divine Calculation Technique, and Artifact Refining Technique aren’t consistently effective here. Most of the time, they don’t work well, and the cultivation realm is altogether different," Ling Baobao explained again.

"Then how did you come here?" Han Yan saw he didn’t seem to be lying, recalled his baffling strange arts, and believed him mostly, then curiously asked.

"My mother threw me over," Ling Baobao said with a face full of gloom.

"Thrown over?" Han Yan and the others were even more surprised.

"Yes, she said that experience is the best cultivation. Unfortunately, in our plane, her power is too strong, too many knew about me, so I had no chance to grow. Thus she simply tossed me over to you, perhaps just a casual throw, and I haphazardly landed here," Ling Baobao helplessly said.

Han Yan and others gasped collectively. A casual throw, crossing the limits of Plane Law, sending her cherished son to a completely different plane, what incredible power!
