Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 225 - 224: If You Want to Be Lonely All Your Life, Aren’t You Going to Give It a Try?
Shen Han always thought that Dean Tianyi was pretty casual in his speech.
Now it seems that he’s not just casual, but also not the least bit serious.
On the carriage, Dean Tianyi continued to persuade.
"Zhiwei, that child, may not have the array talent of her genius brother, but she’s definitely top-notch in Great Wei.
The Mu Family’s strength in arrays needs no further mention.
The Hospital Protection Array at Tianyi Academy was assisted by the Mu Family.
With such an array master family protecting you, even Luo Zuchen would find it hard to make a move against you."
They had only known each other for a few days, yet in Dean Tianyi’s eyes, it was as if marriage was already being discussed...
Shen Han felt a bit helpless.
"Besides having the Mu Family protect you, becoming the Mu Family’s son-in-law would allow you to learn the Path of Array from them.
From this Secret Realm exploration, Shen Han, you clearly have great talent in arrays.
Being able to study arrays with the Mu Family is absolutely top-tier treatment in Great Wei.
Being with Zhiwei, you can learn whenever you want.
Even at night in bed, you can spar over array skills..."
Hearing this, Shen Han quickly waved his hand.
"Dean, why are your words becoming more and more inappropriate...
I have just known Senior Sister Mu for a few days...
It’s possible that Senior Sister Mu already has a beloved...
Moreover, Senior Sister Mu shows no interest in me; she hasn’t even looked up at me a few times..."
Shen Han found three excuses in a row, but Dean Tianyi just couldn’t help but frown slightly upon hearing them.
"What you’re saying doesn’t seem to reflect Zhiwei’s feelings.
It’s more about you, isn’t it?
Do you already have someone in your heart?"
This old ginger is indeed spicier...
Shen Han had just casually mentioned it, yet Dean Tianyi saw right through him.
Seeing Shen Han’s momentary pause, Dean Tianyi knew he had guessed correctly.
"So, having someone else in your heart is fine...
Initially, I, as the dean, did have some personal motives.
You, this child, should be the first prodigy in our Tianyi Academy.
Your character and behavior are excellent, and I had selfishly thought that you becoming the son-in-law of my old friend would be a win-win situation.
But since you have someone in your heart, then let’s forget it..."
When he said this, Dean Tianyi sighed with some regret, looking somewhat forlorn.
Just as Shen Han was about to explain, before he could speak, Dean Tianyi returned to his previously unserious manner.
"Is your beloved Su Jinyu?
A good horse doesn’t turn back to graze; you already broke off an engagement with her, why still think of her?
In that girl’s eyes, it’s not you; she’s infatuated with your elder brother, Shen Ye.
Choosing such a girl is not beneficial for your future.
As the saying goes, marry for virtue, not for looks.
Merely pursuing beauty brings no happy days."
When Dean Tianyi mentioned Su Jinyu, he even pursed his lips, seemingly very dissatisfied.
After finishing his words, he moved his old face closer.
"Tell me, how far have you gone with her? Have you done that?"
Dean Tianyi was still shocking with his words, casually speaking in a risque manner...
"Dean, please stop guessing, there’s nothing, nothing, there’s nothing between us..."
"What? Her bed too high for you to climb onto?"
The dean’s old face had a hint of skepticism.
Saying Shen Han couldn’t climb onto the bed actually implied if Su Jinyu looked down on him.
"Dean, I have no interest in that Miss Su from the Su Family, please stop guessing..."
Hearing Shen Han’s rather serious explanation made Dean Tianyi slightly believe him.
"That’s good, that girl from the Su Family doesn’t seem suitable for you either.
Don’t bend for her just for the sake of some beauty."
Along the journey back to the Capital City, the old man and the young man talked a lot.
Shen Han got to know Dean Tianyi more deeply.
The dean of his academy was truly not serious.
He casually spoke in vulgar terms and even casually handed Shen Han a book.
The cover of this tome didn’t even have a title.
Upon closer inspection, only a simple white label appeared, [Ordinary Tome].
While ordinary, the content inside was anything but...
This was a tome on bedroom techniques for men...
Illustrated with detailed drawings, the artist who compiled this booklet was highly skilled.
The brushwork was exceptionally good at depicting details, deserving of a master’s title!
But Shen Han, feeling somewhat bashful, flipped a few pages and quickly closed it. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
He returned it to Dean Tianyi.
And Dean Tianyi furrowed his brows as he looked at Shen Han.
"What?
You plan to be lonely forever, not intending to try at all?
Want to live as those who abstain and purify their thoughts?"
Hearing these words, Shen Han hesitated for a moment, reached out, and took the book back...
Seeing this, Dean Tianyi finally smiled.
Discussing such matters with someone like Shen Han, who is somewhat serious, was indeed amusing~
After about a day’s journey, they finally arrived at the Capital City.
As the dean’s carriage entered Tianyi Academy, the other directly-taught disciples knew it was the dean returning.
This excursion, calculating the time, was not even ten days.
In such a short time, it seemed they hadn’t even breached the entrance of the Secret Realm.
They couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved, grateful they didn’t join in.
Returning to his residence, Shen Han greeted his three co-disciples and then entered his room.
The matters needing sorting and summarizing from this trip were numerous, he couldn’t afford to waste time.
On this journey, he had gained considerable insight into the Array Skill.
Firstly, his mysterious ability allows him to conveniently locate the Array Hub.
For slightly smaller arrays, he could easily find and dismantle them.
Just toss out a [Broken] label, and it could be dismantled.
But for the Immortal Extinction Array, a tremendously large array, finding the Array Hub wasn’t as easy for him.
After all, it could be hidden anywhere across the vast landscape.
On this trip, he truly learned a lot of array techniques from Senior Sister Mu.
Though his skills were still not proficient, he could somewhat be considered an Initial Tier Array Master.
He could independently set up arrays, not intricate, but at least functional.
For the Path of Array, Shen Han now indeed had some interest.
Compared to other cultivation techniques, arrays were far superior for defense.
Apart from the gains in array skills, he also acquired two jade pendants.
There were four precious jade pendants in total, one each for the dean and Mu Zhiwei.
The remaining two were given to Shen Han, as they both said he contributed the most during the trip.
All the array mechanisms were practically discovered by Shen Han.
Shen Han didn’t refuse, as he also wanted to gift one to someone...
Besides these gains, he had also copied down an illustrated guide.
The walls in the Secret Realm were full of these drawings, they surely had their purposes.
