Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1263: Obliv

If I’m not mistaken, Su Deacon’s sword-wielding hand is trembling slightly. The Godhall Big Handprint, one of the legendary highest techniques of the temple, throughout history, countless strong individuals from the Holy Court have perished under this Big Handprint. Could it be today is his death day?

"Bufan, take them away." The old lady suddenly turned her head and yelled at Tang Bufan, who was still in a daze.

Mu Hanyan is an outsider, and not experiencing such a scene for the first time, so although she’s shocked by the old lady’s real identity, she quickly regained her composure. However, Tang Bufan, caught in the situation, suddenly saw his mother and sister, and then his grandmother who painstakingly raised him turned out to be a person of the temple. The shock to his heart can be imagined, and he was momentarily stunned until hearing her shout, then waking up as if from a dream.

He knows the strength gap between himself and the opponent is not small, so taking action would be a burden. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward to support Aunt Xiu and Han Yunyun and rushed outside.

Seeing that Tang Bufan was about to rush out of the barrier, the old lady suddenly stumbled, fell to the ground, her complexion turned utterly pale; her already aged face seemed to have aged another ten years.

Su Deacon and others were first shocked, and then their expressions became relaxed.

"Old hag, I thought you were very formidable; turns out you were just putting on a show." Su Deacon, initially scared stiff, realized this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but felt somewhat embarrassed and spoke out in anger and shame.

"Grandma." Tang Bufan suddenly stopped, anxiously looking towards his grandmother.

"Go, quickly go! As far away as you can, never come back." The old lady shouted aloud.

Mu Hanyan sighed silently, knowing that Tang Bufan’s grandmother’s strength is, of course, inferior to Yue Ji. Yue Ji at least exhausted her life essence after ripping open the seal using Forbidden Technique, while she was just barely able to create a barrier and use one Big Handprint and was severely injured.

But Mu Hanyan also understands that she cast the barrier and used the temple’s Big Handprint regardless of the cost, just to intimidate Su Deacon and others, to create an opportunity for Tang Bufan to escape.

Su Deacon stepped forward, the sword edge close to the old lady’s neck.

Although for cultivators, the greatest weak point is the Heart Meridian and Qi Sea, the old lady’s cultivation is obviously not high, and was just bluffing earlier. This sword could equally take her life.

Mu Hanyan silently smiled wryly. The old lady performed the act too realistically, even fooled her, and eager to help Tang Bufan escape, actively attacked Su Deacon and the other three. Who would have expected it to be revealed when she arrived in front, even Mu Hanyan couldn’t intervene in time to save.

"Grandma!" Tang Bufan only hesitated slightly before gripping the longsword tightly and turned to walk back.

"Bufan, why don’t you listen to me, why don’t you listen to me?" The old lady sighed deeply and said despondently.

"Grandma, please forgive my disobedience. You have the grace of raising me, I cannot leave you to survive alone." Tang Bufan pursed his lips and said.

"I’m an old woman; dead is dead. You’re the only descendant of the Han Family, how could you do something so foolish?" The old lady scolded, hating iron for not becoming steel.

"I only know, if it wasn’t for grandma, I would have died long ago. If I can’t repay grandma’s upbringing, then I’ll die together with grandma, to live up to my conscience before heaven and earth." Tang Bufan resolutely said.

Mu Hanyan looked deeply at Tang Bufan, remembering the moment in his past life when he sacrificed for her. At that moment, he must have held the same thought – if he can’t save her, he will die with her, at least without shame in his heart.

Perhaps to others, it’s somewhat stubborn, somewhat foolish. Perhaps, the best choice for him would have been to turn around and flee, to seek revenge later. But he couldn’t bear to watch his closest die before him, so he chose to die together rather than to leave.

Stubborn or foolish, this is his conviction. If not for such conviction, in his past life he should have left Mu Hanyan and later found a way to avenge her, but he didn’t.

So in this life, he also would not abandon his closest ones, unwilling to live ignobly.

In Mu Hanyan’s heart, a strong sense of respect rises.

Tang Bufan’s strength is not great, his aptitude isn’t outstanding, but this conviction commands utmost respect.

Aunt Xiu gritted her teeth, also returned to Tang Bufan’s side, Han Yunyun tightly held her hand, her expression still so determined, so fearless.

Because Mu Hanyan was exposed as a daughter at Long Yan Academy, only the Supreme Elder and some elders of the Mu Family witnessed it, even some clan juniors had only heard about it but had never seen what Mu Hanyan looked like after restoring her female appearance, let alone Aunt Xiu and Han Yunyun knowing.

So the two only glanced at Mu Hanyan before retracting their gazes. In this situation, they naturally wouldn’t care about Mu Hanyan’s surname or background.

"Enough, enough, our Han Family ultimately cannot escape this calamity. To die together wouldn’t be lonely." The old lady sighed heavily and said.

Tang Bufan and Aunt Xiu’s group said nothing more, all ready to face death together.

"Miss Jiang, you should leave, for today’s matter, I’m profoundly grateful." Tang Bufan said to Mu Hanyan.

"Miss Jiang, you know their identities, and I see your strength is not weak, you probably have some standing in Long Yan Academy, should know the origin of the temple. This matter is not something you can meddle with." Su Deacon said.

"I... I understand, I’ll leave now." Mu Hanyan’s heart stirred, she feigned panic, her face pale as she spoke.

"That’s good." Su Deacon said.

Mu Hanyan said no more, turned and hurriedly left, seemingly too fearful inside, almost tripped and fell.

"Steward, she’s quite entangled with the Han Family remnants, letting her leave like this, isn’t it somewhat inappropriate?" Watching Mu Hanyan pass through the barrier and leave the courtyard, a young man behind asked with some concern.

"Don’t worry, I wouldn’t let her go easily. After dealing with these Han Family remnants, I’ll properly question her, find out if there’s anything suspicious about her." When mentioning ’question her’, Su Deacon emphasized his tone, his eyes filled with thick malice.

"Oh?" The person behind didn’t understand, looking at him puzzled.

"Initially seeing her strength wasn’t bad, I had some fear of her, but never thought once she knew she was involved with the temple she’d be scared like that, clearly a timid and fearful person. By then, I’ll just have to scare her a bit, bet she wouldn’t dare disobey, letting me do whatever I want." Suspecting the person didn’t get it, Su Deacon felt he was wasting his breath and decided to be upfront.
