Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 308 - 307: Prince Qingyuan Invites for a Meeting
The cause of the matter, in fact, isn’t really hard to guess.
Shen Han didn’t hide anything either; he directly shared his conjectures with Qingcao.
Based on what Qingcao just said, his guess was more or less on point.
The reason Su Jinyu told him about the Cloud Rong Grass was that she wanted to help Shen Ye against him.
At least, from their point of view, after knowing this news, he would venture out.
The Land of the Far South is extremely dangerous.
He doesn’t have much chance of survival either.
In front of him, after hearing Shen Han’s words, the worry on Qingcao’s face deepened.
Holding the teacup with both hands, her expression looked very unpleasant.
"Why would the young lady act like this...
She clearly agreed with the master that she would stop being concerned with Shen Ye.
She should get closer to Young Master Han instead..."
Qingcao’s tone clearly conveyed her disappointment.
Seeing her like this, it even looked as if she was about to cry, leaving Shen Han somewhat at a loss.
"Young Master Han, could you speak kindly for the young lady...
With the Moon Bamboo Peak Master..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han could only smile wryly.
"Do you think I should speak kindly for her...
Your young lady wishes for my demise, do I still have to help her, isn’t that..."
Shen Han didn’t finish his sentence, but Qingcao already understood.
She actually had thought of this too.
Young Master Han wasn’t a fool, let alone offer any help.
From the current perspective, her young lady is actually Young Master Han’s enemy.
Who would help their enemy for no reason.
"Young Master Han, will you go to the Land of the Far South to seek the Cloud Rong Grass?"
Qingcao seemed to have asked out of curiosity.
Shen Han glanced at her and nodded.
"I will go, once I’m fully prepared, I will set off."
"I thought Young Master Han would definitely go.
The Moon Bamboo Peak Master saved Young Master Han’s life, he is loyal and righteous, it seems that he wouldn’t fear these difficulties and dangers."
Qingcao looked at Shen Han with admiration in her words.
These words made Shen Han somewhat embarrassed.
"I’m not as good as you say..."
Shen Han picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, relieving the awkwardness.
"Even to the maids in the mansion, Young Master Han is kind, so how could he treat his benefactor harshly.
To blame, one can only blame our young lady for not having that fortune.
There was clearly an opportunity, but now..."
Qingcao looked equally disappointed.
As if she herself lost a perfect suitor.
In reality, for Qingcao, it might indeed be the case.
For a girl’s personal maid, her future life well-being often directly relates to whom her mistress marries.
If she marries Shen Han, she, the maid, might live like a lady~
But if Shen Ye were the other half, then it would be uncertain.
Qingcao had been in the Capital City these days and heard a lot about the rumors.
Regarding Shen Ye’s assassination attempt, she had also heard.
In this assassination, Shen Ye wasn’t severely injured, but needed some time to recover.
However, Shen Ye’s personal attendant died in this assassination.
Qingcao heard many people say that the attendant died because Shen Ye used him as a shield.
Judging from the injury marks, to deal with a mere weak attendant,
the assassin wouldn’t have used such a big move just to eliminate an attendant.
So the real situation, even if not very smart, should be easily guessed.
For his own attendant, so indifferent.
If her young lady marries him, and she follows along.
The future is really hard to predict...
Before her, this Qingcao, her words filled with admiration, actually left Shen Han not knowing how to respond.
"Thank you, Young Master Han, for clearing up the confusion and offering such good tea to me, a maid.
The young lady didn’t have that fortune, and I, as the maid, have also lost some luck...
The young lady in the mansion still needs care, so Qingcao must leave first.
Young Master Han, stay well, no need to see me out..."
Saying so, Qingcao took a step back, then bade farewell.
The maids nurtured by these large families indeed needed to be more cultured and polite.
Before leaving the courtyard, Qingcao couldn’t help but look back.
Shen Han was her ideal husband in her heart.
Her young lady really doesn’t know what she’s thinking.
Sigh...
It’s normal for Qingcao not to understand.
People always live within prejudices.
It’s hard to change or correct an ingrained perception of someone.
In Su Jinyu’s mind, she still probably holds the impression of Shen Han’s past setbacks.
Even though Shen Han has come this far, in her subconscious, she still thinks he is unworthy...
Simply put, it’s still that sense of arrogance enveloping her.
After sending Qingcao away, Shen Han continued with his focused cultivation.
During rest, he lay on the bed, thinking about seeking the Cloud Rong Grass and all precautions needed.
While pondering, Shen Han thought again.
Would it be possible to try teaching Shi Yuezhu some of the cultivation techniques he knew?
Like his own "Unceasing Skill."
This technique’s powerful recovery ability would make future injuries much easier to heal.
In his heart, he had a plan.
Besides the Unceasing Skill, the Personal Array he learned could also be passed on to her.
After all, Shi Yuezhu also had a Jade Pendant that acts as a Shield Array.
For her, if accompanied by an array,
At the Third Grade in the Immortal Realm, she could almost defeat everyone.
Having thought all this through, what awaits next is finding the right opportunity.
...
A night passed, around 7:00 AM.
Shen Han received a message from Mr. Zhong Nan.
Prince Qingyuan wanted to see him.
The title Prince Qingyuan had always stuck with Shen Han.
The marriage proposal between him and Su Jinyu was his scheme.
To compensate him, the qualification to enter Tianyi Academy was also given by him.
He came to the Capital City and encountered all this because of him.
"If there are any issues, let me know immediately.
When you meet Prince Qingyuan, I will be nearby, no need to worry."
Mr. Zhong Nan seemed to fear Shen Han thinking this trip might be dangerous and reassured him.
But Shen Han just smiled.
"Mr. Zhong Nan, rest assured, I have heard of Prince Qingyuan long before.
Besides, my ability to come to Tianyi Academy was due to his recommendation.
My safety should be assured."
Mr. Zhong Nan nodded at these words.
"Actually, I am not worried about your safety; he has no reason to harm you.
But Prince Qingyuan is known for his strategies, his schemes are endless...
If he digs you a pitfall, don’t rush to agree.
Though Prince Qingyuan holds a high position in Tianyi Academy,
his considerations are mostly related to the court.
Unlike the headmaster, whose thoughts are entirely on the academy."
