Chapter 194: 194 was conquered by Big Playboy Mu

"Well, that’s fine, I suppose," Qu Shanling said, still unaware that in Mu Hanyan’s eyes, his status had been promoted from an old god-man to a treasured figure of amusement. After some thought and slight disappointment, he added, "I am actually worried about succumbing to temptation, aiming too high, and bringing hardship upon myself. Mu Hanyan’s decision may not be a bad thing for me after all."

Seeing that Qu Shanling had rested enough, Mu Hanyan walked towards the door, with Qu Shanling obediently following behind.

"By the way, what’s your Master’s name, and what’s his background?" Mu Hanyan asked with curiosity.

"I also don’t know my Master’s name. I was an orphan, and he adopted me when I was one year old. I’ve never heard him mention his own name or background," Qu Shanling answered. When mentioning his Master, there was a hint of melancholy, but mostly it was respect.

So, the old god-man also had such a past. Mu Hanyan used to feel unappreciated by her family, and her father was indifferent and heartless towards her, but later she realized that all of this was because she had been blinded from the truth. Compared to Qu Shanling, she was fortunate, truly fortunate.

"And what about the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique? Do you know its origin?" Mu Hanyan asked, showing some sympathy for Qu Shanling and softening her tone.

"I have heard my Master speak of it. He said that the technique was derived by a peerless expert who observed the heavens. However, the Star Phase that this expert observed isn’t something we can see in the Holy Court Continent. I used to think my Master’s words were too mystical. If it’s not our Holy Court Continent’s Star Phase, then where did that peerless expert observe it?

But after Young Master Nan completed the Star Chart just now, I realized that this Star Phase is indeed different from what we see in the Holy Court Continent. I have no idea how that peerless expert was able to see it," Qu Shanling answered with a look of yearning.

Although his reply was as detailed as ever, Mu Hanyan felt a slight stirring in her heart.

The Star Phase of the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique was indeed not the Star Phase of the Holy Court Continent, a fact she was well aware of. However, the Star Chart in that sheepskin book was not clear due to the missing Star Phase, and it did not look significantly different from the Star Phase of the Holy Court Continent. Any errors might be attributed to inaccuracies during the charting process.

So, how did Qu Shanling’s Master come to know about it?

Mu Hanyan had an intuition that Qu Shanling’s Master might not be just an unknown Star Divination Master secluded in the mountains. He likely knew much more, but simply chose not to reveal it to Qu Shanling.

Unfortunately, he was no longer in this world, and these questions may never find their answers.

Mu Nan and others had been waiting outside for a while, and finally, they saw Mu Hanyan and Qu Shanling come out of the room. Seeing the two, one after the other, with Mu Hanyan appearing to be deep in thought and Qu Shanling following closely with utmost respect, they grew even more puzzled.

"Master, are you alright?" a young disciple asked, baffled.

"What could be the matter? I’m fine. To think Young Master Nan’s Star Divination Technique is so profound. I have just sought his guidance, and I have truly learned a lot, haha, hahaha," Qu Shanling laughed heartily. This trip to Heishi City had turned out to be quite fruitful for him, and his mood was extremely jovial.

"What, you sought guidance from him?" Qu Shanling’s disciples were so surprised that their mouths hung open.

Mu Hanyan appeared to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old at most. Even if she indeed was a Star Divination Master, how powerful could she be for their Master to seek her guidance? And yet, he acted as if he had learned something invaluable, as if he had struck gold.

Mu Nan and Hua Yuezi were also somewhat surprised; they knew that Big Playboy Mu was impressive, but they hadn’t anticipated he’d be so formidable that even a renowned Star Divination Master like Qu Shanling would be so readily convinced by him.
