Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 553 - 545: After Surviving the Great Calamity, Shen Han May Yet Transform

In the attic, after confirming Shen Han’s return, everyone couldn’t help but smile.

Over the years, Tianyi Academy finally produced a top-notch genius disciple.

But such a genius disciple was not well protected by Tianyi Academy.

The assassination attempt on Shen Han by Luo Zuchen two years ago brought great shame to Tianyi Academy.

At the same time, it also caused the citizens of Great Wei to doubt the strength of Tianyi Academy.

This directly led to a significant decrease in the number of new students over the past two years.

Shen Han’s return is indeed great news.

Firstly, Tianyi Academy has always had feelings for Shen Han.

Having painstakingly nurtured this student, they naturally hope for his lifelong safety.

Secondly, perhaps Shen Han’s return would slightly improve Tianyi Academy’s reputation.

"Such great luck, heaven blessed us.

It’s a miracle that the child returned alive."

"Surviving this great ordeal, perhaps Shen Han will undergo a transformation in the future!"

In the attic, many teachers were expressing their thoughts.

Many spoke quite positively.

But some teachers were slightly pessimistic: "That child was assassinated by Luo Zuchen, even if he survived, he might be injured...

I wonder if the injury affected his foundation, or if his current strength is still the same as two years ago..."

Upon hearing this, many people fell into contemplation.

The words made sense; although his life was saved, was there any damage to his foundation?

"If Shen Han wasn’t harmed, he wouldn’t have returned only after two years.

Perhaps the child was healing from his injuries during these two years..."

Healing for two years, who knows how severe the injuries might have been.

Upon hearing this, Dean Tianyi also remained silent for a while.

"Stop speculating randomly, Shen Han is blessed by fortune.

He might have returned without any issues this time."

Since their dean said so, the other teachers obediently kept quiet, no longer bringing up the matter.

Even though they thought Dean Tianyi was slightly deluding himself.

"That boy, returning without even using the sound transmission magical artifact to notify me. I wonder what’s going on in his head."

"What could he be thinking? It must be Xiaoyao Peak’s Moon Bamboo Peak Master.

It’s been spreading everywhere, saying that there is something unusual about their relationship."

A teacher spoke up, but Dean Tianyi shook his head.

"These rumors sound completely unreliable.

Neither of them are in the same generation, and gossipers always enjoy making up stories.

The Moon Bamboo Peak Master once promised Shen Han to protect him.

It’s normal for her to be happy about his safe return.

A group of people, how can their minds be more indecent than mine."

No one dared to respond.

When it comes to indecency, indeed no one can match Dean Tianyi.

He did not speculate randomly, so the others didn’t speak further.

In his mind, Dean Tianyi matched Shen Han with Shi Yuezhu.

Thinking about it, he really found them unsuitable together.

Although both were attractive, something just didn’t seem right...

Actually, the main reason is that Shi Yuezhu’s status is too high.

Shi Yuezhu is so exceptional that very few can reach the Immortal Realm at her age.

She is not much older, yet became the Peak Master of Xiaoyao Peak, regarded by others as part of the sect’s high-level officials.

The Peak Master of Xiaoyao Peak, and a young scholar...

It’s indeed hard to see them as a fit.

In the past one or two days, news of Shen Han’s return quickly spread throughout Great Wei.

Dean Tianyi received a letter from Shen Han the following day at 5:00 PM.

In the letter, it was revealed that Shen Han’s sound transmission magical artifact had been lost.

That’s why he hadn’t communicated using it.

Feeling Shen Han’s regard for him, Dean Tianyi smiled even more.

In Yun’an City, the news also arrived.

Shen Han grew up in Yun’an City, compared to the people at Shen Mansion.

The citizens of Yun’an City actually liked Shen Han a lot.

Additionally, Shen Han’s excellent performance in the previous Ten Nations Grand Competition brought fame to Yun’an City.

Shen Han can be considered a celebrity of Yun’an City.

Hearing of Shen Han’s safe return, the citizens of Yun’an City were genuinely happy.

Meanwhile, Shen Han’s return also intensified rumors about the Shen Family.

This time, Shen Han went directly to Yun Mansion in Anyang City.

He didn’t return to the Shen Family at all.

Previously, many people said that the Shen Family treated Shen Han poorly.

After this incident, such rumors becam more frequent.

All saying that the upper echelons of the Shen Family mistreated Shen Han...

And within the Shen Mansion, even though they had already heard this news from Shen Qingshan.

Upon hearing it again, their expressions still darkened.

To Madam He and Madam Shen.

They still hoped Shen Han had died two years ago.

For them, they didn’t want Shen Ye to try and finish off Shen Han.

Each attempt always involved unpredictability.

It would have been better if Shen Han had died early, with no unpredictability.

But now the news had arrived, Shen Han ultimately did not die...

"Old Dowager, today I heard some rumors outside.

Saying that Xiaoyao Peak’s Shi Yuezhu and Shen Han seem to have an unusual relationship...

When the two meet, it’s quite strange."

Over the past two years, Shi Yuezhu made four moves against Luo Changping.

There have already been quite a few rumors about them.

But when Madam Shen heard about them, she remained indifferent.

"These rumors sound false from the start, no need to pay attention.

The gossipers always like to talk nonsense.

There’s quite an age gap between Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu.

Even setting age aside, would Shi Yuezhu take a liking to Shen Han?

She’s the youngest Immortal Realm sword cultivator in Great Wei, how could she fancy that unfilial son?

If she truly fancies young men, isn’t our Ye’er much more suitable than Shen Han?"

Madam Shen didn’t believe any of it for a second.

When Madam He heard it, she nodded: "Indeed, how could Shen Han be a match for Shi Yuezhu.

He doesn’t even consider his own status and strength; he just wants to reach above his station."

Both wore a hint of disdain on their faces.

They absolutely didn’t believe in a connection between Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu.

For no other reason but one, Shen Han is not a match.

And that’s already enough.

"By the way, send the second one to deliver the message, don’t know if it’s already sent.

Next month’s clan assessment, we must come up with a foolproof plan to help Ye’er as much as possible.

Shen Han, that unfilial son, is full of schemes; we must be well-prepared."

Upon hearing this, Madam He frowned.

"If we use some means and others catch on, what do we do then?

Wouldn’t that result in chaos?"

Madam He was a bit worried, these small moves must remain unnoticed by others.

But that’s easier said than done.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen chuckled.

"This is the Shen Family’s clan assessment; we simply don’t allow others to watch.

It’s just us Shen Family folks; we do as we like."

In Anyang City.

The people arranged by the Shen Family had already prepared the letter.

However, when they said this letter was for Shen Han, the Yun Mansion directly refused.

Currently, too many people are trying to find Shen Han.

The house had long instructed, those looking for Shen Han are to be directly turned away.

Those familiar with Shen Han naturally have ways to find him.

They won’t relay through the servants of Yun Mansion.

After the letter was returned, the person from the Shen Family delivering it furiously threatened.

Saying something about taking responsibility for the consequences.

Then, they were promptly kicked out by the Yun Mansion.

After discovering Yun Mansion’s firm stance, the messenger returned, claiming to want to see Shen Han.

And was naturally mocked again.

In the end, it had to be left to the Yun Mansion servants to pass on the message, but with no guarantee of success...

The Shen Family wanted Shen Han to return for the clan assessment, but now, they can’t even get the message through.

Night approached.

Shen Han held the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact from Shi Yuezhu in his hand.

The two were speaking softly.

This was already the second day of their conversation.

Last night, they had a long, pleasant talk.

Shen Han began by recounting his assassination by Luo Zuchen.

Including how he severed one of Shen Ye’s legs and then fled to the Land of the Far South to avoid danger.

When Shi Yuezhu heard that Shen Han was forced to escape to the Land of the Far South, even her gentle nature was infuriated.

Beyond anger, she felt some self-blame.

Shi Yuezhu felt that if she had been stronger herself.

Perhaps at that time, she wouldn’t have been constrained by Luo Changping.

And Luo Zuchen wouldn’t have had the chance to attempt another assassination on Shen Han.

When Shen Han spoke of reaching the Land of the Far South, Shi Yuezhu thought that was the end of it.

In the remaining two years, Shen Han should have been cultivating in the Land of the Far South.

But what Shen Han said next left Shi Yuezhu quite amazed.

Beyond the Land of the Far South was a Poison Sea, a detail noted in some travel records.

But who would know that beyond the Poison Sea lies another continent.

There, too, exists another whole cultivation system.

Entering Spirit, Spirit Body Realm, Spiritual Qi Realm, Spirit God Realm...

Up to the Loose Immortal Realm and True Immortal Realm...

Upon hearing Shen Han talk about these unfamiliar things, Shi Yuezhu became quite the curious child.

Hearing about fascinating places, she would softly ask Shen Han.

Her tone was still so gentle.

When they were conversing this way, they truly seemed like a couple in mutual affection.

Shen Han was grateful for his experiences, allowing him to have such conversations with Shi Yuezhu.

Moreover, his stories stretched over two full years, providing much to share with her.

Just like Shen Han, Shi Yuezhu was also actively engaging in conversation to ensure it continued nicely.

Their match in this regard was, indeed, remarkable...

Shen Han had a lot more to share with Shi Yuezhu in his mind.

The Divine Soul Technique, he intended to teach Shi Yuezhu as well.

With the steady realms of Great Wei, enhanced by Divine Soul cultivation.

Her strength would leap forward significantly.

On Xiaoyao Peak.

Gu Simin had been seeking a chance these past few days to chat with Shi Yuezhu properly.

After being waved away twice by Shi Yuezhu, Gu Simin now sat waiting on Moon Bamboo Peak, in Shi Yuezhu’s courtyard.
