Chapter 370 can pick it up and put it down at will
Chapter 370 of "Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return" opens with: "Itâs good that Grandfather can think this way," Mu Cheng said with great joy after... Find out what happens!
"Itâs good that Grandfather can think this way," Mu Cheng said with great joy after personally witnessing how Han Yan safely emerged unscathed from below the Meteor Shower. With every bit more he understood about Han Yan, he felt an additional bit of fear toward him. Now, he even harbored a few more bits of reverence and was even less inclined for Grandfather to be enemies with Han Yan.
"Alright, youâve had a long journey too. Go back and rest for now. Donât be in a hurry to take this Qi Transformation Pill â wait until you hit a bottleneck before taking it," Second Elder told Mu Cheng.
"I understand, Grandfather," Mu Cheng said.
"Also, try to minimize your interactions with Fourth Miss Zhao in the future. I always feel that sheâs up to no good, and that she harbors ill intentions for being with you," Second Elder warned Mu Cheng.
"Oh," Mu Cheng responded without daring to talk back, his voice buzzing with acknowledgment. However, he felt somewhat depressed inside. Han Yan had told him to stay away from Fourth Miss Zhao, and now Grandfather was saying the same. Sigh, why did they all have such deep prejudices against Fourth Miss Zhao?
What he didnât know at that time was that it wasnât others who were too prejudiced against Fourth Miss Zhao but that he himself was infatuated.
While Second Elder and Mu Cheng were deep in conversation, Third Elder was also inquiring about Mu Ziqing and Mu Nanâs trip to Xiushui City.
"I really didnât expect this playboy to have such an encounter," Third Elder remarked after listening to their description. He fell silent for a long time before letting out a drawn-out sigh.
"Grandfather, do you believe Master Quâs words now?" Mu Nan asked with a smile.
"Heavenly Star descending to earth, huh? Heh, I was quite skeptical at first, but after hearing your account, Iâm starting to believe it. I originally thought Han Yan would be Mu Ruiâanâs weakness, that we could use him to undermine Mu Ruiâanâs authority. But it seems, Han Yan is not his weakness but may become his greatest supporter," said Third Elder with a bitter smile.
Over the years, in an attempt to take back the position of Family Head from Mu Ruiâan, which they believed rightfully belonged to themselves, Third Elder and the other two elders had tried every possible way to oppose Mu Ruiâan. Unfortunately, not only was Mu Ruiâan extremely powerful, but he also acted meticulously, leaving them with no way to deal with him. Thus, they thought of using Han Yan to relentlessly pressure Mu Ruiâan. However, now it seemed they had been too optimistic in their thinking.
"Grandfather, to be frank, if you really became Family Head or the City Lord of Heishi City, would you truly do better than Big Brother Ruiâan?" Mu Ziqing couldnât help saying.
Once again, Third Elder fell silent. He had also seen everything Mu Ruiâan had accomplished after coming to Heishi City. Even though it was hard for him to admit, he had to acknowledge that he might not do a better job than Mu Ruiâan as Family Head or City Lord.
Not to mention dealing with the Zhao Family or the Zhou Family, which he might not be able to handle.
"Honestly, no matter who becomes Family Head, isnât it all for the Mu Family? As long as Big Brother Ruiâan can take our Mu Family of Heishi City to greater heights, then letting him be the Family Head â whatâs the harm in that? In the end, we all stand to benefit," Mu Ziqing persuaded.
"Enough, Iâve grown old, and even if I wrested the position of Family Head, how long could I hold on? Besides, what you said is not wrong â as long as itâs for the good of the Mu Family, who becomes Family Head doesnât matter," Third Elder said with a bitter smile.
"Grandfatherâs ability to let go so graciously and with such an open mind truly impresses me," Mu Nan said sincerely.
"Cut the flattery. Iâm open-minded my ass. Iâm simply aware that the person behind Han Yan is not someone to provoke, and thatâs why I must stop," Third Elder glared at Mu Nan and said irritably.
Though he spoke these words, he did genuinely decide to give up the struggle for the position of Family Head, and just like that, his mood became much lighter.
