Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 547 - 540: I... Am Back...

In the courtyard, Madam Yun softly murmured to herself.

"You know the strength of that Luo Changping.

In Great Wei, she’s certainly considered a top-tier expert.

The Moon Bamboo Peak Master has fought her four times, each time getting severely injured.

Once, when she was injured, Cailing and I went to deliver medicine together, the wounds on her body..."

Madam Yun hesitated to continue, seemingly unable to bear saying more.

"Women love beauty, I wonder if she has any scars...

Han, no matter what, you must not let others down.

The Moon Bamboo Peak Master is an outstanding woman, having her close is a blessing for you.

If you don’t treat her well in the future, I’ll help her teach you a harsh lesson."

Madam Yun looked at Shen Han, seemingly worried he would become a heartless rogue.

"Then again, I probably won’t have to, as the Moon Bamboo Peak Master is an Immortal Realm expert. If you bully her, she can handle you herself."

Thinking of this, Madam Yun and Cailing both chuckled.

"With Young Master Han’s skills, it’s good if he’s not bullied by the Moon Bamboo Peak Master."

Cailing also gave her opinion.

Seeing the two of them laughing like this, Shen Han felt a bit helpless but also very happy to see their smiling faces.

"If I do get bullied in the future, won’t Third Madam and Cailing help me?"

Hearing this, Madam Yun thought for a moment: "If even the mild-tempered Moon Bamboo Peak Master blames you, then it must be your fault, and we won’t plea for you."

After some light-hearted talk between the three.

After a while, Madam Yun’s expression became more serious.

"Han, have you thought about what to do next with the Moon Bamboo Peak Master?

The two of you seem to be mutually in love, and care about each other.

But the Moon Bamboo Peak Master’s status is special, she’s slightly older than you, and is an Immortal Realm expert.

I’ve also heard that she’s highly regarded on Xiaoyao Peak, and many say she’s the next Sect Leader of Xiaoyao Peak.

In these past two years, because she’s stood up for you, she’s already attracted quite a bit of gossip..."

Madam Yun paused, looking up at Shen Han.

"Han, you should think about her.

Until you’ve truly matured, it’s better to keep your relationship with her hidden.

This way, it will at least reduce some of her worries."

Shen Han understood Madam Yun’s words.

The real reason was Shen Han’s lack of strength.

A young disciple, no matter how talented.

In everyone’s eyes, he wasn’t a match for Shi Yuezhu.

"Among your peers, Han, no matter which family’s daughter you fancy, it wouldn’t be reaching too high.

But she’s the Master of Xiaoyao Peak, an Immortal Realm expert.

If you’re not strong enough, you’ll only attract endless gossip.

It’s better to reveal your relationship only when you’re truly matching in status."

Hearing this, Shen Han nodded, in agreement.

In terms of strength, Shen Han is already in the Immortal Realm, and he entered it even younger than Shi Yuezhu.

With such talent and potential, who dares say anything?

Who can say this isn’t a match made in heaven, or that Shen Han isn’t suitable?

However, Shen Han didn’t plan to reveal his true strength yet.

Not that he didn’t trust them, but Shen Han had a plan in mind.

An expert in the Immortal Realm has far greater self-protection abilities than ordinary cultivators.

If determined to escape, an Immortal Realm expert is truly difficult to kill.

One of the things I’m doing when returning to Great Wei is to eliminate that Luo Zuchen.

After the news of my return to Great Wei spreads, I suppose Luo Zuchen won’t be able to resist taking action against me.

Luo Zuchen is unaware of my true strength, and when he has killing intent towards me, that’s my best opportunity to eliminate him.

If my strength is known to him, Luo Zuchen will only become more cautious.

If Luo Zuchen only focuses on fleeing, even a Second Grade Immortal Realm expert would find it hard to kill him.

While speaking, Cailing had already brought some snacks into the courtyard.

"Try them quickly, Cailing’s culinary skills have greatly improved over the past two years, appreciate her craftsmanship."

Beside him, Madam Yun smiled, urging Shen Han to taste.

Shen Han didn’t hesitate, picking up a soft glutinous dumpling and popping it into his mouth.

The taste of the dumpling was excellent, with a slightly salty outer dough.

Inside, it contained a sweet filling.

The mixture of salty and sweet flavors made for a very rich taste.

"The taste is really good, Cailing’s snacks have the skill of an outside chef."

Upon hearing Shen Han’s praise, a deep smile appeared on Cailing’s face.

"These past two years, I’ve not had a good appetite.

Cailing has been making a variety of snacks and dishes, trying to whet my appetite.

It must have been hard for her."

Over the two years, his whereabouts remained unknown, how could they eat well when worrying?

After eating a few snacks, and hesitating a bit, Shen Han took out the gifts he’d brought in his Storage Ring.

Neither Madam Yun nor Cailing practiced cultivation, so the pills and magical artifacts he had.

They had no use for them.

Thus, before returning, Shen Han had picked out many gifts for the two from the Divine Land.

One by one, new clothes were laid out on the table, besides the clothing, there were many pieces of jewelry and accessories.

Shen Han wasn’t very good at selecting, nor did he know what the two liked.

But it didn’t matter, buying more would solve it, wouldn’t it?

The new clothes Shen Han brought back numbered about a hundred pieces, and the jewelry and accessories were just as many.

In large quantities, there must be one or two they like, right?

After taking out the gifts, Madam Yun and Cailing’Er’s eyes lit up.

"Which dressmaker’s fabric is this?

Why haven’t I seen such fabric before, and this sewing technique seems unfamiliar too."

Madam Yun reached out to feel the clothes, her face filled with amazement.

Beside him, Cailing’er was also quite interested.

"Madam, look at these pearls on the hairpins, they’re all ones I’ve never seen before."

Holding those pieces of jewelry in her hand, Cailing’er examined them several times, unable to discern what kind of gemstones they were.

After all, Cailing’er was from a prominent household in the Marquis Mansion.

Following Madam Yun, she had surely seen a lot.

She was definitely familiar with various kinds of jewelry.

"Han, where did you get these things?

It feels like they’re not from our Great Wei.

Nor do they seem to be from the lands of Qi and Yan..."

Shen Han didn’t explain in depth, smiling.

"It’s good that you like them. I bought them casually while passing by."

Seeing the smiles on their faces, Shen Han was very glad about his decision.

He even thought he should have brought more.

After a while, Madam Yun seemed to remember something and put down the new clothes in her hand.

"Han, shouldn’t you tell others about your return?

Besides the Moon Bamboo Peak Master, Dean Tianyi was also very worried about you.

He spent considerable effort looking for you."

Shen Han nodded: "I’ll write a letter later to inform them."

Hearing this, Madam Yun hesitated for a moment.

"We can’t contact Dean Tianyi directly, but sending a letter shows your sincerity as a child.

But for the Moon Bamboo Peak Master, why write a letter...

Why not tell her in person?"

Madam Yun’s words made Shen Han’s heart tremble.

These two years, Shen Han had been filled with longing.

In his mind, he often recalled the scene when he first met Shi Yuezhu in Qianyang Country.

At that time, he was so poor he couldn’t even afford an inn.

She had taken the initiative to help him.

In fact, Shen Han very much wanted to see her sooner.

But when the opportunity truly arose, he felt a bit nervous.

Before Shen Han could respond, Madam Yun had already walked into the house.

After a while, she came out holding a Sound Transmission Magical Artifact.

A gentle smile hung on her face as she looked at Shen Han.

Seeing Shen Han looking at her, Madam Yun held up the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact.

"Madam Yunshuang, do you have the latest news on Shen Han?

Madam Yunshuang, are you still listening?"

From the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact came Shi Yuezhu’s gentle voice.

After nearly two years, hearing her voice again made Shen Han’s temperament sway.

Shi Yuezhu’s voice was still as gentle as before.

Just hearing her voice, one could see her charming smile.

"Madam Yunshuang..."

"Moon Bamboo Peak Master, please wait. The person who knows Shen Han’s whereabouts is right in front of me. I’ll let him speak to you.

You can ask him directly if you have questions."

As she spoke, Madam Yun directly handed the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact to Shen Han.

As the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact approached, Shen Han seemed frightened.

It was as if this Sound Transmission Magical Artifact were a hot potato, and he dared not reach out to take it.

That expression amused both Yunshuang and Cailing, making them laugh.

They hadn’t seen Shen Han in such an embarrassed state before.

After spring arrived, the buds on the plants in the yard were gradually blooming.

For some reason, as Shen Han accepted the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact, he felt surrounded by a floral fragrance.

Hesitating for a while, Shen Han took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"I’m... back..."

He didn’t say who he was; the words were brief to the extreme.

It seemed like saying one more word would cost money.

After Shen Han’s words fell, there was a long silence from the other end of the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact.

In his mind, Shen Han kept wondering about Shi Yuezhu’s current state.

"Where are you now, are you at the Yun Mansion?"

After a while, Shi Yuezhu’s voice came through again.

Even though it was suppressed, her voice held a subtle tremor.

"Yes."

"Good."

Shen Han replied with a single word, and Shi Yuezhu’s reply was also a single word.

After that word fell, neither of them spoke again.

Yunshuang and Cailing were both taken aback, exchanging a somewhat exasperated glance.

"Is this... it?

So nervous, yet each said only two sentences?"

Weren’t they interested in each other?

Just two sentences?

Unlike the others’ confusion, Shen Han understood.

Shi Yuezhu intended to come to the Yun Mansion to see him.

Though it was just a few words, they had a sufficient understanding.

...

On Xiaoyao Peak, Shi Yuezhu dressed up meticulously, which was rare.

Her originally gentle and beautiful appearance was now even more radiant.

After preparing, Shi Yuezhu didn’t say much to others, only briefly instructing them.

Saying she had some matters to attend to outside, she then flew away from Xiaoyao Peak.
