Usually in the manor, Yan Yun rarely wore long dresses like these.

For convenience, more often than not, Yan Yun would choose some more practical clothes.

Although this made her actions a lot easier, it did indeed lose a bit of a woman’s charm.

As the saying goes, three parts outfit, seven parts appearance.

Those three parts are still very important.

And today, Yan Yun changed into the kind of dress she rarely wore.

With a slight application of makeup, her beauty was fully revealed.

Originally, there was a faint smile on her face, but after seeing Shi Yuezhu beside Shen Han.

In just an instant, that smile faded away.

Since when has there been a woman accompanying Shen Han?

Moreover, with his nature, he wouldn’t allow other women to get close.

"This is the one the Venerable has been thinking about..."

Yan Yun stepped forward, gently bowing to Shen Han, and in her words, she mentioned Shi Yuezhu.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han nodded.

"Shi Yuezhu, she’s the one I mentioned before."

Seeing Shen Han mention her, Shi Yuezhu also greeted Yan Yun.

Since arriving here, Yan Yun’s gaze had been fixed on Shi Yuezhu.

No matter how she compared, Yan Yun was certain she couldn’t surpass Shi Yuezhu.

Even the figure and looks she prided herself on fell short of Shi Yuezhu.

Speaking of Shi Yuezhu, the honesty in Shen Han’s words made Yan Yun understand.

Some things are simply not meant to be.

"Have the Situ Family and the Zheng Family caused any trouble since then?"

Shen Han didn’t dwell on it, directly asking the main question.

Yan Yun shook her head: "Ever since the Venerable dealt with Situ Chen, those people are frightened.

Not only do the Situ Family and the Zheng Family dare not come, but others who come to our city also don’t dare to cause trouble.

"That’s good."

After saying that, Shen Han seemed to have nothing more to discuss.

He bid farewell and prepared to leave.

Not wanting to disturb further.

Yan Yun didn’t ask him to stay, feeling she had no right to do so.

Watching Shen Han leave, Yan Yun could only comfort herself in her heart.

Shen Han has helped her enough; she couldn’t wish to take all the benefits of the world.

After leaving, Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu boarded a boat.

Crossing the tall mountain range of the Northern Mountain Domain, they truly stepped into the Divine Land.

The Divine Land is divided into the Inner and Outer Domains.

But regardless of the Inner and Outer Domains, because of the tall mountains’ sheltering, the climate is much milder.

On the boat, Shi Yuezhu seemed to have something on her mind, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Thinking of this, Shen Han found an opportunity to sit beside Shi Yuezhu.

"Are you upset?"

Shi Yuezhu shook her head, looking up at Shen Han.

"Not upset, just a block in my heart.

Though I know your feelings, thinking of you being thought of by other women, it’s hard to be magnanimous..."

Facing Shen Han’s inquiry, Shi Yuezhu didn’t hide her thoughts, candidly revealing her mind.

"Then I’ll try my best in the future to maintain the appropriate distance with other women.

So as not to upset you."

Regarding Shen Han’s response, Shi Yuezhu shook her head.

"No need for that, it’s a matter of my own heart.

Being too deliberate might affect normal interactions with others."

Being able to speak out when feeling jealous helps a lot.

For Shen Han, as long as it doesn’t make him guess, it’s fine.

Obviously angry, but when asked, they shake their head without speaking.

That might be the hardest part.

Not keeping the heart’s block inside for long makes it hard to have conflicts.

Clearing things up is far more useful than holding them in.

"This time, we will go directly to the Celestial Sword Sect."

Shi Yuezhu knew that Shen Han was actually a disciple of the Star Tower sect.

"Aren’t we going back to the Star Tower first?"

"Sect Leader Yu Chou is already waiting for us at the Celestial Sword Sect, so we’ll head directly to the Celestial Sword Sect.

He wants us to visit him and Senior Yu You together..."

Upon hearing that, Shi Yuezhu also smiled.

"It seems these two seniors value you a lot~"

Shi Yuezhu spoke softly, while Shen Han’s expression took on a slightly serious tone.

"Yuezhu..."

"Hmm?"

"You know, Su Jinyu, she is also in the Celestial Sword Sect...

Do you want to see her..."

Shen Han asked softly. The two of them were once inseparable master and disciple.

Even though Shen Han harbored some resentment towards Su Jinyu, he knew her feelings for Shi Yuezhu were genuine.

He remembered that during their talks, whenever Su Jinyu mentioned Shi Yuezhu, she would often refer to her as Master.

Although now she’s under Hall Master Sun of the Celestial Sword Sect, in her heart, she might still be thinking of Shi Yuezhu.

Hearing Shen Han’s question, Shi Yuezhu furrowed her delicate brows, pondering but finding it hard to make a quick decision.

Shen Han didn’t rush her, allowing Shi Yuezhu to think it over.

The Celestial Sword Sect is in the Inner Domain, so even if the boat doesn’t stop, it will take several days to reach there.

These days are enough time for Shi Yuezhu to ponder.

The Divine Land is vast, and after crossing the Northern Mountain Domain, one could see its breadth even more.

Compared to a powerful country like Great Wei, the Divine Land was not unified due to the presence of numerous sects.

Therefore, the culture in the Divine Land appeared fragmented.

The customs and habits that thrived in each place were vastly different.

Ordinary people had very little contact with cultivators.

If one was born in a small village, it was likely they would have little chance of encountering cultivation in their lifetime.

The boat moved swiftly, and as they neared the Celestial Sword Sect, Shi Yuezhu finally made up her mind.

She was willing to meet Su Jinyu, to talk with her...

Upon hearing this, Shen Han conveyed the message to Su Jinyu.

Hearing that Shi Yuezhu was willing to meet her, the excitement was audible in her voice.

The sky darkened and then brightened again.

In the distance, a towering sword-shaped stone statue could be seen.

That was the iconic structure of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Shi Yuezhu chose to stop here to meet Su Jinyu.

Shen Han proceeded to visit the Celestial Sword Sect to meet Senior Yu Chou and Senior Yu You.

Seeing Shi Yuezhu disembark from the boat, Shen Han again sent a message to Su Jinyu.

He informed her to meet thirty miles south of the sect’s gate.

Su Jinyu replied with a single word, "Alright," but Shen Han could hear the tremor in her tone.

He didn’t know how long their meeting would last.

Naturally, Shen Han did not waste time and went to speak with Seniors Yu You and Yu Chou.

Upon re-entering the Celestial Sword Sect, the guards immediately acted as his guides upon hearing his name, leading him inside.

The fact that he came to visit had already been relayed by Sect Leader Yuyou to the guards at the gate.

Under the guard’s guidance, they soon arrived at a pavilion.

Soon after, Yi Qi, the Vice Sect Leader of Celestial Sword Sect, poked his head out from the pavilion with a broad smile on his face.

He looked around, noticing that Shen Han was alone, which seemed to make his smile even brighter.

Then he began to descend the stairs.

"Arriving early can’t beat arriving at the right moment; you’ve stumbled upon a good thing~"

Yi Qi’s first words upon meeting were missed by Shen Han.

"Senior Yi, what do you mean...?"

"No rush, no rush, you’ll find out shortly.

The Sect Leader and your Star Tower’s Sect Leader Yu have been waiting for you; let’s go and see them together.

They will tell you then."

Speaking these words, the two proceeded to Senior Yuyou’s courtyard. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Along the way, Yi Qi inquired much about Shen Han’s homeland and how he was faring, and if everything was going smoothly.

This journey back to Great Wei had gone relatively smoothly, especially with Luo Zuchen resolved.

The obstacles between him and Shi Yuezhu were mostly cleared.

Aside from Luo Changping, everything else seemed to be trouble-free.

Halfway there, Yi Qi received a message and led Shen Han to the guest courtyard.

The garden was located on the eastern side of the Celestial Sword Sect’s grounds, at the very outer edge.

Guests were generally received here.

Following Yi Qi into the guest garden, Shen Han immediately saw Seniors Yu You and Yu Chou.

"Senior Yuyou, Sect Leader."

Upon seeing them, Shen Han greeted them with a smile.

Having not seen each other for some time, meeting again brought a sense of warmth.

"Hahaha, we were just talking about you, what good timing."

Hearing Shen Han’s greeting, Yu You laughed, stepping forward to pull Shen Han to sit beside them.

Across the round table were two other guests.

No wonder they chose to meet in the guest garden.

The guests included an elder woman, who Senior Yuyou addressed as if they were of the same generation.

Despite her senior status, it was evident she maintained her youthful appearance, showing traces of beauty.

She exuded a mature appeal.

Beside her was a rather aloof young woman.

Clad in a light green Immortal Robe, she was tall and quite striking.

Compared to her, she might even be more attractive than Su Jinyu.

"Yu Palace, Shen Han, do you know of this sect?"

Yu Chou spoke with a smile.

Hearing this, Shen Han naturally nodded, having studied many General Knowledge Classics, he was aware of the major sects in the Inner Domain.

"As a major sect in the Inner Domain, even if the disciples might lack exposure, the name of Yu Palace is certainly known."

Hearing these words, the elderly woman smiled.

"This child surely knows how to flatter people.

Our Yu Palace in the Inner Domain is not as renowned as you say.

In a few years, it might even be removed from the list of significant Inner Domain sects~"

Shen Han cupped his hands in salute: "Senior, your words are too modest. The cultivation techniques of Yu Palace are unique and rare throughout the Inner Domain.

In these times, keeping a low profile leads to slanders from gossipmongers.

It seems that not standing out indicates a sect’s decline.

But what do they truly know?"

His words brought a broad smile to the elderly woman’s face.

Praise always finds its mark.

Without knowing what to say, he chose to say what was pleasant to hear.

Hearing Shen Han’s words, Senior Yuyou also smiled.

"Dean Chu, you heard that, didn’t you? This kid is actually talking about our Celestial Sword Sect~

Our Celestial Sword Sect isn’t low-key; we’re always in the limelight, which has given us a ’glorious reputation’ among the gossipmongers."

"The Celestial Sword Sect is renowned, not infamous; Sect Leader Yu is just trying to tease Little Friend Shen."

As they talked, the young woman beside Dean Chu couldn’t help but glance at Shen Han.

No one knew what she was thinking, but her eyebrows knit slightly.
