Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 211 - 210: Acting Without Restraint, Striking Whenever He Desires
Hearing this, it took a moment for the people present to react.
Han’s request to Su Jinyu was surprisingly to ask for Cailing’s selling contract.
"Young Master, why did you waste such a good opportunity just to ask for my selling contract...
Logically, you could have exchanged it for many, many things..."
Even Cailing felt it was somewhat unworthy, after all, in her eyes, she was just a maid.
Hearing this, Han patted her head.
"You silly child, do you really think your selling contract is so easy to obtain?
To threaten Madam and me, that contract of yours probably can’t be bought with a thousand gold.
Taking this opportunity to ask for it was indeed the best way."
Madam Yun also didn’t say anything; Han and Cailing’Er had always shared a deep brother-sister bond.
Because of this bond, that selling contract was worth so much money.
After all, the Yun Family is not as cold as the Shen Family. If it were the Shen Family, they would certainly say Han is like a fool.
Moreover, the fact that Han dared to make such a request shows that he truly has no interest in Su Jinyu.
They continued chatting at the table.
Patriarch Yun thought for a long time and finally decided to bring up the matter.
"Han, do you have any understanding of Luo Zuchen, who acted against you that day?"
Upon hearing the name Luo Zuchen, Han couldn’t help but frown slightly.
He had already heard others mentioning him several times, cautioning him to be wary.
Dean Tianyi, Shi Yuezhu...
Whenever Luo Zuchen’s name was brought up, their expressions would become more serious.
"Grandfather, you know of him too?
My understanding of him is limited; I only know he has Third Grade Immortal Realm strength and is Shen Ye’s personal teacher."
This understanding is indeed quite minimal.
Patriarch Yun frowned, recalling the situation about Luo Zuchen.
"In terms of age, Luo Zuchen should be only ten years younger than me.
When I was over twenty years old, studying Alchemy in the Capital City, Luo Zuchen also suddenly emerged around that time."
Patriarch Yun paused for a moment, as if organizing his memories.
"It’s very normal for the young to be impulsive; many people are impulsive and irritable in their youth.
But with Luo Zuchen, one must add the word ’more.’
He cannot simply be called impulsive; he is wild, a madman.
Against anyone who crossed him, he would absolutely retaliate.
There was once a prince who had some disputes with him, but Luo Zuchen did not have the slightest hesitation, even though he offended a prince.
He directly acted against the prince, and after being taught a lesson by the prince’s guards, he continued to find opportunities.
Through various means and ambushes, eventually, the prince’s leg was even broken by him..."
Han frowned; this was indeed too reckless.
"Didn’t the Imperial Family cause trouble for him? They let him live?"
Patriarch Yun nodded: "Trouble found him, and revenge was taken, but for some unknown reason, the Imperial Family didn’t finish him off.
He only suffered a month’s physical punishment, reportedly beaten until his skin was open, but his life was spared.
Since then, none of the younger generation of the Imperial Family dared to provoke him.
Luo Zuchen became increasingly arrogant and ruthless."
Han vaguely understood. Patriarch Yun implied that Luo Zuchen had backing.
"Grandfather, do you know who is backing Luo Zuchen?"
Patriarch Yun shook his head: "I don’t know; even rumors are sparse.
Everyone merely feels that Luo Zuchen definitely has a formidable backer.
A backer that can negotiate with the Imperial Family."
Upon hearing this, Han gained a deeper understanding of Luo Zuchen.
The day he acted against him, he likely did hold back.
If truly angered, perhaps in front of others, he wouldn’t hesitate to act ruthlessly against him.
"For many years, people around have called him a madman because his conduct is truly insane, without any reservation.
If the Holy Emperor offended him, he might still go up to curse a few times.
As he aged, Luo Zuchen became more stable, and one would seldom hear of his transgressions.
Yet, from my perspective, it’s mainly because of his fearsome reputation that no one dares to offend or defy him..."
This should be the ultimate stage of dominance.
All the arrogance and high-handedness, they pale in comparison.
Luo Zuchen, merely with his reputation, made those around keep a low profile in front of him.
At this point, Patriarch Yun looked gravely at Han.
"Han, if this person bears a grudge against someone, he always exacts revenge.
He acts without fears; if he wants to act, he will.
Even in Tianyi Academy, Han, though you are valued, even by the Imperial Court,
Luo Zuchen remains completely indifferent; whatever consequences or retaliation he might face, he does not consider.
In his eyes, he acts first and speaks later.
If the Imperial Court punishes, so be it. Other forces’ retaliation, he takes it head-on."
By his side, Madam Yun’s hands trembled slightly as she listened.
How could she not worry about crossing such a vicious person?
And this ruthless person is Third Grade Immortal Realm...
"Han, perhaps this time you shouldn’t leave again.
We can just live in Yun Mansion; I don’t believe Luo Zuchen dares to break into our Yun Mansion.
As for cultivation, where can’t it be done?"
Madam Yun gently extended her hand, tugging on Han’s sleeve, seemingly wanting to keep him by her side.
Han merely smiled, knowing he couldn’t stay cooped up in Yun Family Mansion for a lifetime, confined to these few inches.
Even remaining in Yun Mansion, there would inevitably be times to venture out.
If Luo Zuchen is determined to deal with him, then even in Anyang City, he could still be in danger.
Thinking of this, Han lightly patted Madam Yun’s hand.
"Once you step onto the path of cultivation, there’s no smooth road.
Even without Luo Zuchen, there are still countless dangers along the way.
Swallowing a pill, comprehending, enhancing one’s strength, even an ordinary competition could damage the foundation.
One can’t just give up because of danger.
If so, I shouldn’t have embarked on this path of cultivation in the first place."
Madam Yun didn’t know how to respond to Han’s words.
He spoke truthfully; no cultivator is constantly sheltered in a mansion.
How can one achieve anything like that?
After Han’s words, Patriarch Yun looked at him more seriously.
"Han, if it were before, Grandfather would certainly support you.
Cultivation is always fraught with dangers...
But now, you have offended Luo Zuchen, who is a madman.
During the trial that day, amidst so many people, even on Tianyi Academy’s grounds,
he dared to act against you; such a person is too dangerous..."
"The Academy houses many strong individuals; even if Luo Zuchen dares act against me, he may not succeed."
Tianyi Academy is backed by the Imperial Family, with no shortage of Immortal Realm powerhouses.
