Chapter 418 Proud of being henpecked
Chapter 418 of "Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return" begins with intriguing events: "Is it appropriate for me to go?" Han Yan looked at her father with confusion.For... Donât miss it!
"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Han Yan looked at her father with confusion.
For many years, her parents had dressed her as a boy and indulged her in causing trouble. Even the reputation as a playboy was not unrelated to their encouragement. Everything she did was to avoid drawing attention, thus preventing the danger of being killed. Yet now they wanted her to participate in the trials at Zhengying Academy. Were they not afraid of ruining everything they had worked for?
"It is your grandfatherâs command," Mu Ruiâan said.
"Oh?" Han Yan became even more puzzled. All previous arrangements had been made by her grandfather, but now he was suddenly changing his initial intentionsâwhat was the purpose?
"In his letter, your grandfather said that since youâre almost sixteen years old, he doubts thereâs much hope left, and that he canât let you loaf around for life. Itâs time to give you a chance," Mu Ruiâan stroked his chin and said with a bitter smile.
Thatâs when Han Yan had her realization. Her grandfather had given up on her, believing she could not meet his expectations of reaching the Sword Master Realm before the age of sixteen. However, he did not want her to live aimlessly all her life, so he still wanted to give her an opportunity. In reality, her grandfather had always cared for her.
"Father, didnât you tell Grandfather about my matters?" Han Yan asked.
"Itâs not convenient to mention this in letters, and I havenât had time to return to the Capital. I was hoping to surprise him when you reached the Sword Master Realm, but it seems Iâve disappointed him," Mu Ruiâan shook his head.
"Should I still go?" Han Yan asked.
Her grandfather had made these arrangements without knowing her situation, and she surely couldnât pretend to be unaware too.
"Go. Thereâs another matter mentioned in your grandfatherâs letter, something about changes. Recently the Yan Family has shown some unusual movements, so perhaps we should also modify our original plans and give it a try," Mu Ruiâan said thoughtfully.
The Yan Family? Han Yan suddenly remembered that, in the past life trajectory, Yan Yuchu should have shared her fate; accomplishing nothing before sixteen, then suddenly gaining strength after that age, only to be ordered by his family to travel and meet an untimely death, remaining obscure until the end.
But in this life, his fate had changed. Not only had he received the secretive Sky Star Technique from his family, but he was also appointed as a City Lord.
All of this probably had to do with what her grandfather had mentioned in his letter, but she didnât know the specifics of the matter or what changes had occurred.
Han Yan curiously looked at her father.
"Donât look at me like that, Iâm just as confused. Your grandfather doesnât tell me everything either. Youâll have to wait until you reach the Sword Master Realm to ask him yourself," Mu Ruiâan spread his hands, looking helpless.
Hearing her father say this, Han Yan could only press her all her doubts to the bottom of her heart.
"Alright, are you done? Itâs my turn now." Yue Fanling slapped Mu Ruiâan aside, then pulled Han Yan into her embrace, touching Han Yanâs face and pinching her arms, waist, to make sure she was alright, finally easing her mind, "Han Yan, be careful this time and take care of yourself. Ah, I still worry..."
"Mother, donât worry. Iâve grown up and can take care of myself. Besides, Dad is well aware of my strength now. You see, he isnât worriedâwhy should you worry?" Han Yan looked at Yue Fanling, who was full of concern, and warmed her heart with a comforting smile.
"Of course heâs not worried!" Yue Fanling grew angry at these words, "His heart is made of stoneâwhat does he have to worry about?" She glared at Mu Ruiâan. Ruiâan wanted to defend himself, but cowed under Yue Fanlingâs fierce gaze, he turned and went to squat in the corner, tending to poisonous mushrooms. However, he did it willingly. So what, am I proud to be henpecked?
