Chapter 383: Mu, Big Playboy Mu Ye, has also endured hardship and hard work.
Chapter 383 of "Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return" opens showing developments: "Got enough, or if you havenât, grab some more," the Great Elder said, his irritation... Keep reading!
"Got enough, or if you havenât, grab some more," the Great Elder said, his irritation sparked by that standard playboy grin. He waved his hand as if shooing a fly, his tone a mix of annoyance and mockery.
"Hold on, it seems like I really could take a bit more, wait for me, Iâll go grab it," Mu Hanyan suddenly said.
So, the Great Elder and his companions watched as a pile of person-shaped odds and ends slowly turned around and made their way back to a small, broken hole in the wall. Mu Hanyan picked up a longsword, slung it onto his back, and headed towards the door at an even slower pace.
Listening to Mu Hanyanâs breathing, which was as labored as a bellows, Housekeeper Geng broke out in a cold sweat, Mu Fengâs eyes widened, and both forgot to wipe the fresh blood from their foreheads.
It really is true: for riches, people die; for food, birds perish. Who would have thought that Mu Hanyan, the notorious Big Playboy Mu, known for his idleness and neglect of proper business, could also exhibit such perseverance...
The Great Elder was also left dumbstruck. Heâd truly underestimated the boyâs persistence; had he known Mu Hanyan could hold up like that, he wouldnât have prompted him with that remark. Suddenly, the Great Elder felt an impulse to slap himself.
Carrying that heap of eclectic items back to his room and dropping them onto the floor, the clanging sound made Mu Hanyan feel as if he had shed the weight of three great mountains from his shoulders, instantly feeling lighter.
Turning around and just about to flop onto the bed for a rest, he caught sight of Mu Ruiâanâs face, filled with shockâexactly like the Great Elderâs.
"Dad, what brings you here?" Mu Hanyan asked affectionately.
"How did you carry all this back? It must weigh at least two or three thousand pounds, right?" Mu Ruiâan looked at his apparently more delicate frame compared to that of an average man, feeling a mix of amusement and sympathy.
"When you want to carry something, naturally you just do it," Mu Hanyan replied.
"The Great Elder saved up all these possessions for decades. He never even had a decent meal in all that time, and in an instant, youâve cleared him out. Heâs probably going to be heartbroken," Mu Ruiâan shook his head and chuckled, then said, "But what are you going to do with all this stuff? Youâre not going to sell it and squander the fortune, are you?"
Although Mu Hanyanâs name as a playboy shone largely due to his own doings, in his heart Mu Ruiâan didnât wish for him to become a true wastrel, nor did he want to see the Great Elderâs hard-earned efforts thrown away entirely.
"Of course not. These things are going to be very useful," Mu Hanyan said.
He remembered the past life wherein, sooner or later, the Zhao and Zhou families would join forces with other clans to deal a fatal blow to the Mu Family. Though ultimately it wasnât lethal, the Mu Family had still suffered greatly, struggling for many years. If it werenât for Mu Nanâs Chamber of Commerce flourishing and providing substantial aid to the family, they probably would have declined into second-rate status.
In this life, he would never let such an event take place. Mu Ze, Mu Yuying, and Mu Cheng, among others, had some natural talent. If cultivated properly, they could greatly enhance the familyâs strength.
The Great Elder had scrimped and saved to amass these elixirs and cultivation techniques, with good intentions and little selfishness, but not utilizing them fully was no different from being a miser.
If he wasnât going to use them, Mu Hanyan would do it for him.
Mu Hanyan didnât elaborate, and Mu Ruiâan didnât probe further. He was becoming increasingly perplexed by his treasured daughter; he only knew one thing for certainâsomeday, she would surpass him. In fact, whether in temperament or strength, she was already far superior to him, even in his younger days. Therefore, he would rather not interfere too much in such matters.
"Did you find that thing?" Mu Ruiâan suddenly asked.
