Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1371: A Mother-in-Law’s Gaze at Her Son-in-Law

Mu Hanyan found herself feeling a bit helpless, her grandmother's thick skin was truly remarkable. Not long ago, she had been overcome with worry, and now, she was teasing her without a second thought.

"He's not, just a good friend. Grandma, please don't make fun of people," Mu Hanyan replied, a blush creeping onto her face. Despite her generally carefree nature, she always felt a twinge of embarrassment in her grandmother's presence.

As they conversed, Ye Lanfeng's tall and elegant figure appeared before them.

"Lanfeng, this is my grandmother," Mu Hanyan introduced. Angang had already informed Ye Lanfeng about the injury her grandmother sustained from forbidden techniques, so there was no need for further explanation.

"Junior Ye Lanfeng greets the grandmother... oh, wait, greets Senior Lu." Ye Lanfeng bowed respectfully, abruptly realizing his slip of the tongue and quickly correcting himself.

Mu Hanyan shot Ye Lanfeng a pointed look. Though his correction appeared sincere, she distinctly caught a subtle smirk playing at the corner of his lips.

He's doing this on purpose, she thought, this guy is absolutely doing it on purpose!

"Haha, good, good, you are Ye Lanfeng, very good, very good," Lu Nianxin said, her gaze fixed on Ye Lanfeng. She exuded the warmth of a mother-in-law who was growing increasingly fond of her prospective grandson-in-law, with only a generation separating them.

Perhaps due to Yue Fanling's departure years ago and the existing relationship between Shangyue and Anyun, Lu Nianxin had missed her own daughter's wedding, burdened by a heart full of regrets. She subconsciously adopted the role of a mother-in-law.

"Lanfeng, I shall address you this way henceforth. I hope you don't mind an old lady's presumption," Lu Nianxin smiled, her unspoken words clearly conveying, 'I consider you my granddaughter's husband, and I hope you don't find this objectionable.'

"Senior Lu's favor towards a junior is truly my good fortune," Ye Lanfeng responded. At this moment, he displayed none of the commanding presence of a Saint. While his words were polite, his respectful demeanor and smile suggested a future son-in-law attempting to curry favor with his mother-in-law.

"Say, are you two done yet?" Mu Hanyan finally interjected, her patience wearing thin, her voice laced with annoyance.

"Hanyan, since Lanfeng is your good friend, he is an honored guest of our Zue Family here in Shangyue. How can you be rude to our guest? That is no way to treat a visitor," Lu Nianxin stated seriously.

"Indeed, Senior Lu is not mistaken," Ye Lanfeng concurred, his agreement seemingly a form of flattery, yet less overt than Zirong's.

"Alright, alright, I admit it! This fellow is indeed your future grandson-in-law and the Prince Consort. Are you happy now? Grandma, you don't need to be so polite with him," Mu Hanyan conceded, rolling her eyes in exasperation, unable to handle the pair any longer.

She couldn't help but wonder why these two had hit it off so splendidly upon meeting, finding such amusement in their collaboration to tease her.

"Hahaha..." Lu Nianxin finally erupted into hearty laughter.

Ye Lanfeng turned his gaze to Mu Hanyan, a smile also gracing his features.

Huayue and the others, no longer needing to contain themselves, let out good-natured chuckles. The release of tension created a joyous atmosphere.

"Grandma, allow me to examine you first," Ye Lanfeng said to Lu Nianxin after a moment, his smile fading as he became serious.

"Then I shall trouble you; having a Saint take action is indeed my good fortune," Lu Nianxin replied, extending her hand.

It turned out she had already recognized Ye Lanfeng's identity, which was hardly surprising. The connections between various Royal Families and the Holy Court were intricate. Having traveled extensively in her youth, she was no stranger to the Holy Court. Considering Ye Lanfeng's age, formidable strength, and noble bearing, discerning his identity was not difficult.

Ye Lanfeng smiled and gently took Lu Nianxin's pulse.

As time passed, Ye Lanfeng's expression grew increasingly grave, mirroring the rising unease and anxiety within Mu Hanyan.

"Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell! How is this even possible?" After a prolonged silence, Ye Lanfeng withdrew his hand, his brow furrowed in confusion, before Mu Hanyan and the others could even inquire.

"What exactly is the Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell?" Mu Hanyan asked, having never encountered such a forbidden technique before.

"Your earlier suspicions were correct; grandmother's injury is not as severe as it seems. The reason her powers are suppressed stems from peculiar and arcane arts.

The Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell is an ancient Forbidden Technique that was widely practiced over a million years ago, before the Continent was fractured. However, after the Continent split and the laws on both landmasses became incomplete, the Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell lost its efficacy and gradually fell into obscurity. I have only encountered records of it in ancient tomes preserved within the Holy Court."

"I can't imagine who could have learned this long-lost technique, and what's even more baffling is that the Heaven and Earth Power on the Holy Court Continent is incomplete. Even if experts from the Holy Court or the temple possessed the knowledge, they shouldn't be able to utilize it." Ye Lanfeng elaborated, appearing quite perplexed.

"Can you reverse it?" Mu Hanyan inquired with urgency. The identity of the perpetrator or the method employed wasn't her immediate concern.

She had initially believed that Ye Lanfeng's arrival would swiftly alleviate her grandmother's predicament, but his words revealed a far more intricate problem than she had anticipated.

Ye Lanfeng remained silent for a moment, lost in deep contemplation. Witnessing his unusually serious demeanor, Mu Hanyan's heart grew heavy with apprehension.

"Perhaps there is a method." After a significant pause, Ye Lanfeng finally responded.

"Tell us quickly, what is it?" Despite Ye Lanfeng's hesitant tone, Mu Hanyan clung to a glimmer of hope and pressed him eagerly.

"Due to the incomplete Heavenly and Earthly Rules of the Holy Court Continent, I cannot fully grasp how that individual managed to cast the Holy Energy Divine Heart Spell. It must have been an immense undertaking. Similarly, reversing this spell presents extraordinary difficulty.

Drawing from ancient texts, my research suggests that to undo this technique, the Holy Emperor Sword Energy from the Holy Court must be used to unseal all of grandmother's meridians. Concurrently, the Divine Heart Sacrificial Technique from the temple is required to unlock the seals within her Qi Sea and Heart Meridian.

Neither the Holy Emperor Sword Energy nor the Divine Heart Sacrificial Technique are gentle arts; they inherently carry the risk of damaging grandmother's meridians and Qi Sea, potentially even affecting her Heart Meridian. Beyond the meridians, any harm to the Qi Sea and Heart Meridian would have devastating and unimaginable consequences. Therefore, a minimum of two Medical Saints are necessary to safeguard her Qi Sea and Heart Meridian simultaneously," Ye Lanfeng explained methodically.

"How arduous!" Jiang Yuzhe couldn't help but voice his astonishment at Ye Lanfeng's explanation, and Huayue and the others also wore troubled expressions. The stipulations were indeed formidable.

"I have personally cultivated the Holy Emperor Sword Energy, so opening up grandmother's meridians would not be excessively challenging. However, the Divine Heart Sacrificial Technique from the temple surpasses my abilities. It is one of the temple's most profound secret techniques, far beyond the reach of ordinary temple members. Furthermore, finding two Medical Saints at the Sword Saint Realm is no simple feat either," Ye Lanfeng admitted with difficulty.
