Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 262 - 261: Did the Moon Bamboo Peak Master Send You to Invite Me Along?
"Reconcile?!"
Shen Lingyong was the most agitated, and suddenly stood up.
"Father, what do you mean by that?
That traitor Shen Han just put me, his second uncle, in jail, and you still want to reconcile with him?"
As he spoke, Madam Shen also chimed in repeatedly: "Husband, if you do this, won’t you be encouraging the younger generation in the family to be enemies of the clan?
Shen Han, that troublemaker, is detrimental to the clan, and we are supposed to appease him.
There’s no rationale for that."
Sitting at the far right end, Madam He remained silent, but a trace of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes.
The Patriarch of the Shen Family actually intends to reconcile with Shen Han.
Clearly, it’s because he covets Shen Han’s potential talent.
Even though it’s just reconciling for now, in the future, might it gradually influence Shen Ye’s place as heir?
At that moment, Madam He’s mind was flooded with thoughts.
"So, none of you want to reconcile with Shen Han?
Alright, I won’t bother with this matter.
On the contrary, how to deal with and counter this hidden threat of Shen Han, you all need to come up with a solution for me.
With his potential talent now, stepping into the Immortal Realm in the future is almost certain.
We cannot leave the Shen Family with an enemy in the Immortal Realm who also harbors such resentment towards the family."
Upon hearing Shen Qingshan’s words, Shen Lingsheng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward.
"Father, Lingsheng thinks that if we view it as a delay strategy.
The step of reconciliation can indeed be implemented.
In discussions with Shen Han, the traitor, we can promise him many benefits, but not actually fulfill them.
Using the excuse of reconciliation, we can gain some advantages from him.
For us Shen family members, it might just hurt some pride, needing to say some soft words to him, that junior."
Shen Qingshan frowned, not saying much about it, just letting them decide for themselves.
As long as no hidden danger is left for the Shen Family, he is indifferent.
...
These days, Shen Han was quite busy at the academy.
The first is the Path of Array, which has become increasingly proficient.
The personal array, he has mastered quite well.
Retardation, constraint, barrier.
These three types of arrays are more familiar to his heart.
But Shen Han also found that this type of array is quite suitable for personal use.
However, it becomes a bit inconvenient when traveling with others.
Besides array cultivation, these days, Shen Han has also been studying and practicing with Dean Tianyi.
Among these studies and practices, what Shen Han asked about most was the cultivation method after stepping into Fifth Grade.
In Dean Tianyi’s view, Shen Han now has the strength of the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm.
Stepping into Fifth Grade is only a matter of time.
It’s quite normal to study and understand in advance.
Through Dean Tianyi’s detailed explanation, Shen Han also gained a better understanding of the cultivation method for Fifth Grade.
Previously, when Shi Yuezhu explained the cultivation method for stepping into Fifth Grade to him in the dense forest.
The cultivation methods of the two are actually quite different.
Refining after Fifth Grade is to prepare for the impact on the Immortal Realm after Fourth Grade.
Dean Tianyi believes that this refining should be steady, progressively improving.
Enhancing the body’s endurance, extending power.
Whereas Shi Yuezhu’s perspective, the rationale is completely different.
In Shi Yuezhu’s view, body refinement should be an extreme impact.
Only when approaching the extreme can refining be effective.
Both eventually stepped into the Immortal Realm, which just shows that both methods are effective.
Shi Yuezhu’s method probably has more noticeable effects.
Just past 7:00 AM, while Shen Han was still cultivating, he received news that Su Jinyu came looking for him.
Upon knowing it was Su Jinyu, Shen Han asked Chai Haifu to find an excuse to refuse her.
But in a moment, Chai Haifu returned with a helpless expression.
"Brother Shen, Miss Su is quite persistent.
I told her you were going to stay in seclusion for a while, and she just said she would practice her patience and insisted on waiting at the door...
Brother Shen, you know, Miss Su is very striking in appearance.
Many students at the academy, those who were quite far away, couldn’t help but come over to look...
They are thinking you have done something to her..."
Shen Han frowned a bit, feeling somewhat annoyed by her.
After thinking for a moment, he headed towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Su Jinyu was standing on the path not far away, frowning and waiting.
That look really seemed as if she was aggrieved.
"Miss Su, what is it?
If it’s not particularly urgent, in the future you can ask a classmate to pass on your message, you don’t have to talk to me directly."
Upon hearing Shen Han’s words, Su Jinyu’s brows furrowed even tighter.
"Shen Han, previously you asked me for the deed of sale, and I couldn’t get it.
That condition still stands, you may not care, but it keeps disturbing my mind....
Our Su Family has discovered a Secret Realm in the north, and just the entrance alone has yielded ample rewards.
I want to invite you to explore this Secret Realm together, where anything found shall be entirely yours.
But if there is a Cultivation Secret Technique, please share a copy...."
Su Jinyu felt that her proposal was already sincere enough.
She was giving away the treasures inside unconditionally to Shen Han.
Shen Han slightly hesitated upon hearing this and casually asked, "Is it the Moon Bamboo Peak Master who asked you to invite me along?"
"My master will be returning to Xiaoyao Peak in two days, she will not be joining us.
It’s I, Su Jinyu, who invited you, considering it as fulfilling my outstanding promise...."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han then asked, "When are you departing?"
"Leaving on the seventeenth, protected by experts from my Su Family."
"The seventeenth? That might not be convenient, as the academy has an outing for practice, and I need to go out with Mr. Zhong Nan."
Shen Han spoke with a hint of regret, said some pleasantries, and returned to his courtyard.
Watching Shen Han’s retreating figure, Su Jinyu felt something strange.
She couldn’t say exactly what was wrong, but felt that whatever date she chose for the outing, Shen Han would say he was unavailable.
Returning to the Rain Listening Pavilion, Shi Yuezhu accompanied Su Jinyu for quite some time this trip, and should return to Xiaoyao Peak.
Su Jinyu learned Shi Yuezhu was preparing to leave today and hesitated before talking about her encounter with Shen Han.
"Master, I really want to fulfill the promise owed to him.
Otherwise, it always weighs heavily on my mind and feels uncomfortable...."
Shi Yuezhu wanted to assure Su Jinyu, saying she had already resolved the matter.
Shen Han won’t make any further demands of her, but she thought better of it and kept quiet.
"Is the Secret Realm you mentioned the one you and Shen Ye explored last year?"
"Yes, in these ten months, during my free time, I’ve been contemplating how to unravel the mysterious obstruction there, and now I know how to break it.
Bringing Shen Han along on this trip, he won’t be at a loss."
Su Jinyu spoke, her pretty brows furrowed, her discontent evident on her face.
If she was inviting other noblemen to explore the Secret Realm, none would refuse like this....
"Tell you what, Jinyu, I will accompany you on this trip.
You can ask Shen Han again whether he would be willing to go if the departure date is changed.
If he agrees to go along, you can exchange insights on Sword Dao along the journey.
Not only might you gain from the Secret Realm, but exchanges between Sword Dao cultivators can also be quite fruitful."
