Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1106: Mu Hanyan’s Earth-Shattering Words

"Stop!" At this moment, Jiang Qiling’s voice echoed.

"Little Senior Sister." Apparently, Jiang Qiling held high prestige among the Qiu Family’s disciples. Once she appeared, all of them hurriedly sheathed their Longswords and bowed in salute.

Oh great, this villain act is ruined. Han Yan felt regretful in his heart. He had just found an opportunity to mock someone else as useless.

"Han Yan, you’ve seen the Beast Soul Hall, you can leave now." Jiang Qiling stood on the steps of the Beast Soul Hall, looking down at Han Yan with arrogance.

If possible, she would rather have the Qiu Family’s disciples rise up and give Han Yan a harsh lesson. But Long Yan Academy had strict rules, forbidding any disciple from private provocations or fights; otherwise, they would be expelled.

If no one saw it, perhaps it wouldn’t matter. But with so many people present, even if she intervened, she couldn’t protect everyone from the Qiu Family, so she had to step in to stop it.

Besides, Qiu Yongcheng was still in the Beast Soul Hall, not yet through the trial, perhaps already facing danger, and possibly at a critical moment, so she didn’t want anything to happen to disrupt Qiu Yongcheng’s trial. Knowing that Qiu Yongcheng was her father’s confidant, if he was disturbed due to the conflict between Han Yan and the Qiu Family’s disciples and something went wrong, she couldn’t explain to her father.

Therefore, despite harboring deep hostility towards Han Yan, she refrained from acting out and temporarily held back.

"Sorry, I have some unfinished business. I can’t leave yet," Han Yan said.

"What business?" Jiang Qiling frowned deeply and asked.

"I’m not aware of the trial requirements of the Beast Soul Hall; I wish to try it," Han Yan’s voice was calm.

What, she actually wants to join the Beast Soul Hall’s trial!

Though her voice was not loud, it was like a shocking thunder among the crowd, creating a moment of deathly silence around.

After quite a while, a burst of mocking laughter filled the crowd.

"What did he just say, did I hear it wrong?"

"No, you heard right, he said he wants to join the Beast Soul Hall’s trial."

"Is he crazy or stupid, wanting to join the Beast Soul Hall’s trial?"

"I think he’s both crazy and stupid, believing after defeating Yue Fanchen that he’s been regarded as a hero by ignorant folks, and truly thinking he’s a hero. It’s only his first day at the academy, and he dares to join the Beast Soul Hall’s trial—it’s simply courting death."

"Such arrogant fools, dying is deserved."

The Qiu Family’s disciples sneered, looking at Han Yan as if looking at an idiot. Even the few instructors nodded repeatedly, secretly laughing. They were all instructors of the Soaring Dragon Branch, colleagues of Qiu Yongcheng, and knowing Han Yan offended the Dean’s precious daughter, naturally wouldn’t have any goodwill towards him.

"I heard Han Yan exposed Qiu Ping’an during the admissions selection, then defeated Yue Fanchen. Logically, he shouldn’t be mindless, but this arrogance is baffling."

"Do you believe everything he says? I think he’s mostly competing with the Qiu Family and saying it out of spite."

"Indeed, with Long Yan Academy’s long history, has anyone ever challenged the Palace Guardian Beast Soul on their first day? That’s courting death!"

Others watching the commotion were whispering, but nowhere near as excited as the Qiu Family’s disciples, remaining much calmer, not believing Han Yan would foolishly risk his life, thinking he’s just competing with the Qiu Family.

"Everyone quiet! The Beast Soul Hall is a solemn place; dare to make noise, and I’ll send you all back!" A stern voice sounded, as a tall and imposing elder appeared at the hall entrance, radiating authority even in indifference.

His gaze swept over the crowd, making everyone tremble in silence, afraid to breathe too loudly.

"Lord Zhou, why the clamor?" The elder then turned his head, asking a middle-aged instructor.

"Master Qin, a newly admitted young disciple spoke carelessly about joining the Soul Tower trial, and the other disciples couldn’t help but laugh at his youthful boldness," the middle-aged instructor replied fearfully.

So, it turns out the elder named Qin was the Hall Master of the Beast Soul Hall. Though Han Yan didn’t know his full name, seeing everyone’s, even the instructor’s, trembling demeanor, Han Yan knew this person was extraordinary.

His commanding presence in angerlessness could not match the academy’s top three experts yet, but probably was on par with Wenren Qingqiu and Long Congyuan.

Long Yan Academy, truly an abode of hidden talents. Han Yan reflected silently.

"Who are you, under whom, to dare speak so boldly?" As Han Yan examined Master Qin, Master Qin also scrutinized him, following the crowd’s eyes, easily identifying the bold new disciple.

"Junior Han Yan, apprenticed under Lord Gong Hongru," Han Yan replied calmly. Despite the formidable opponent, Han Yan couldn’t tarnish her master’s name.

"So, a disciple of Gong Hongru. Being favored by him, some arrogance is unsurprising, but the Soul Tower trial isn’t open to just anyone. First, inquire properly before speaking boldly, lest you become a laughing stock." Master Qin initially intended to chastise Han Yan but refrained upon hearing he was Gong Hongru’s disciple, offering advice before returning to the Beast Soul Hall.

Han Yan wished to explain she genuinely wanted to partake in the trial, but as he provided no chance for explanation, she let it go.

The surroundings quieted again. Though no one dared voice, nearly everyone’s gaze upon Han Yan was filled with mockery.

"Hmm, daring to speak boldly at the Beast Soul Hall, it’s lucky Lord Qin spared you due to your master’s reputation; otherwise, you’d suffer greatly. Let’s see if you dare to be so arrogant in the future." Qiu Zizhong and others sneered internally.

Unlike them, Tan Yu slightly sighed with relief, expecting Han Yan to heed Lord Qin’s advice and reconsider.

"Creak..." At this moment, the heavy and ancient doors of the Beast Soul Hall slowly opened.

"He came out, he came out, Third Uncle successfully completed the trial!" Qiu Zizhong shouted wildly.

The other Qiu Family’s disciples couldn’t help but cheer, even shedding tears of joy.

With nearly four hours left until the trial’s end, the early opening of the Beast Soul Hall meant Qiu Yongcheng had successfully completed the trial, signifying he could henceforth recruit disciples like Gong Hongru and Long Congyuan, naturally elevating his status within Longyan Academy.
