Chapter 337: Reluctant to part with 337
Chapter 337 of "Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return" begins revealing: Seeing Yan Yuchu adopting an eager-to-learn attitude, Han Yan couldnât help but reveal a sly... Continue the adventure!
Seeing Yan Yuchu adopting an eager-to-learn attitude, Han Yan couldnât help but reveal a sly smile. As two birds of a feather cast adrift in this world, how could one not share the good things that come oneâs way? Renowned titles like Mu the spendthrift, Big Playboy Mu, and Mu Siyi obviously couldnât be enjoyed aloneâa little help shouldering the fame was always welcomed.
Beside them, Mu Ziqing opened his mouth as if to say something but then thought better of it. His eyes, however, brimmed with sympathy as he watched Yan Yuchu, seemingly witnessing a wayward youth, slightly lacking in affection and a bit extreme in views, step by step tread towards an endless abyss.
Looking back at Han Yan, it seemed as if behind that bright and handsome smile, two black horns were quietly sproutingâyes, these were the horns of a demon.
"Alright, itâs getting late, my dear nephew, I should head back now, and Iâll come to pick you up at dawn," Han Yan commented as a hint of dawn crept across the sky to Mu Ziqing.
"Go ahead, thank you for coming all this way again," Mu Ziqing responded.
Since they had to conceal tonightâs events from prying eyes, Han Yan naturally couldnât take Mu Ziqing back with her now and would have to come again the next day.
"Letâs go, Iâll walk you out." Because of their similar circumstances, Yan Yuchu felt an inexplicable fondness for Han Yan. Expecting her to assist with his Qi purification in the future, it was only natural to treat her well. He personally escorted Han Yan out of the City Lordâs Mansion.
"Thatâs far enough," Han Yan said with a slight smile after leaving the City Lordâs Mansion and swiftly took her leave.
Watching Han Yanâs retreating figure, Yan Yuchu felt an unexpected twinge of reluctance before finally turning away.
"Lord City Master, arenât you enemies with her? Why would you personally see her off?" one of the guards who had quietly followed asked, puzzled by the gesture.
"In this world, there are no true enemies, especially not for major families like oursâthere are only interests. No friends or enemies," Yan Yuchu replied nonchalantly, casting another lingering glance at Han Yanâs departing figure.
"Oh." The close attendant acknowledged, yet felt even more bewildered. The Lord City Masterâs demeanor that night seemed different from the past. Remembering how he was usually moody and often sported a stern face, the guard couldnât recall a time when he had been so amiable, especially to an enemy whom he was actually seeing off personally.
Could it be trueâno discord, no concord? Yet, considering the Lord City Masterâs obviously reluctant gaze, even the best of connections shouldnât look like that, could it be... Suddenly, the guard recalled some rumors. It was said that young masters from great families, living too luxuriously, could develop certain... unsavory habits: the Long Yang, the cut sleeve, and the like. Could it be that the Lord City Master also had such proclivities?
With that thought, the guard shivered.
"Whatâs the matter, are you alright?" Yan Yuchu, having survived an assassination attempt that night and with his Cultivation bottleneck finally showing signs of a breakthrough thanks to Han Yanâs help, was in high spirits and was wearing a rare pleasant expression. He patted the guardâs shoulder and asked.
"Ah... nothing, nothing at all, do you wish to return, my Lord? I shall clear the way for you," replied the guard, springing up like a startled cat, practically tumbling and scrambling back towards the City Lordâs Mansion.
"Whatâs gotten into him?" Yan Yuchu couldnât help but feel baffled as he watched his guard flee in a panic, shaking his head and leisurely walking back to the City Lordâs Mansion.
He was unaware that even before he had stepped through the door, a whisper had already begun to circulate secretly within the mansion.
"Did you know? The Lord City Master is rumored to have a taste for cut sleeves."
"No way, heâs so young, how could he have such inclinations?"
"Havenât you noticed the Lord City Master doesnât show interest in women? Isnât it because of that very preference?"
"Ah, thatâs right, thatâs right, I always thought the Lord City Masterâs behavior was oddâit makes sense if he has that kind of inclination."
"Whatâs a cut sleeve taste?"
"Youâre too young to understand, just remember to keep your distance from the Lord City Master in the future."
