Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 233 - 232: I’ve Already Stepped into the Sixth-Grade Fruit Realm
Tianyi Academy.
Shi Yuezhu seemed a bit anxious, ready to walk directly into Tianyi Academy to seek out Shen Han.
After the surveillance array around the academy transmitted the information out, it startled the people at the academy.
They thought it might be Luo Zuchen daring to break in broad daylight, even while under confinement.
Upon seeing it was Shi Yuezhu, they felt slightly relieved.
Xiaoyao Peak, being a Sword Cultivation Holy Land, did not involve itself in court disputes nor did it have many enemies.
There were no grievances with Tianyi Academy either.
Likely, she did not intend to force her way in.
The guards invited Shi Yuezhu to wait in a garden pavilion, knowing she was looking for Shen Han, they went on her behalf.
Shen Han was currently in Mr. Zhong’s courtyard.
Upon hearing Shi Yuezhu had come to find him, he immediately got up, bade farewell, and prepared to leave.
"You know the Peak Master Shi from Xiaoyao Peak? Is it through Su Jinyu?"
Shen Han didn’t know how to respond, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"When I was breaking off the engagement with Su Jinyu, she was the one who negotiated terms for Su Jinyu.
At that time, she promised to ensure my safety.
Today, she probably came to inquire about matters of safety again."
Mr. Zhong nodded and urged Shen Han to go immediately.
After all, being a strong Immortal Realm cultivator, one should maintain good manners.
Arriving at the garden pavilion, he saw Shen Han coming over, with a complexion not showing the slightest sign of weakness.
Shi Yuezhu’s anxious heart finally settled down. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
It seemed Luo Zuchen’s ambush had not taken effect.
"Esteemed seniors, the Moon Bamboo Peak Master and I are old acquaintances, please rest assured, she won’t harm me."
Shen Han explained earnestly twice, only then did the guards nod and leave.
"Did Luo Zuchen make a move against you?"
"Yes, but through this encounter, I’ve come to understand him a bit better.
A strong Immortal Realm cultivator is not necessarily that formidable."
This statement from Shen Han was actually intended to make Shi Yuezhu worry less.
But hearing Shen Han talk like this actually made her more concerned.
"How can you think like this, Immortal Realm is so called because their power has undergone a transformation.
Escaping by chance doesn’t mean you can always escape!"
Shi Yuezhu tried to sound stern, but it still came off gently.
Seeing her like that, Shen Han couldn’t help but have a slight smile on his lips.
"Is the Moon Bamboo Peak Master...worried about me?"
Being suddenly asked this by Shen Han left Shi Yuezhu a bit unsure of how to respond, her face showed slight embarrassment and restraint.
After pondering for a moment, she asked in return, "If I were worried about you, would you be more cautious...?"
"Yes, naturally."
"Then I...am worried..."
The two of them lifted their eyes and looked at each other.
Upon making eye contact, they quickly averted their gazes.
They sat in the garden pavilion for a while, and then Shi Yuezhu spoke again.
"The academy competition will start in three days, do not be reckless.
Tianyi Academy has other talented students.
There is a student named Yu Jing, whose strength is likely at the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm.
The academy’s ranking, which your headmaster hopes for, should be contingent upon him.
Every year during the academy competition, young students get injured, do not act rashly."
Shen Han nodded: "Actually, I’ve always been steady, I’ve never been reckless or overreached..."
"Not reckless?
Facing an opponent like Luo Zuchen, to think somewhat lowly of him, is this not being overconfident?"
Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu couldn’t help but purse her lips, her eyes carried a hint of reproach.
Receiving such a lesson, Shen Han could only submissively admit his mistake.
"You are still young, the main students participating in the academy competition are mostly around twenty-four years old.
Having five years less of cultivation, naturally, your strength still has some gap with them.
If you want to earn some face for Tianyi Academy, it would take another two years.
The talents at their age mostly have already reached the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm."
Shi Yuezhu paused, looking at Shen Han: "Of course, you reaching the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm at such a young age is already exceptional.
Just waiting for two more years will be your time to shine."
Shi Yuezhu seemed worried that her previous words might have discouraged Shen Han.
So she added this sentence.
However, in reality, it didn’t affect Shen Han at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Han decided not to hide in front of Shi Yuezhu.
"Actually... I had already reached the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm long ago...
When I competed with Su Jinyu, I was already at the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm, she couldn’t possibly defeat me."
At this, Shi Yuezhu was taken aback.
At the age of nineteen, reaching the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm...
In the whole of Great Wei, it should be a rarity...
"Are you sure it’s the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm...?"
...
After talking for about two hours, Shi Yuezhu had shared a lot of cultivation insights with Shen Han and was ready to leave.
Before leaving, she handed Shen Han a jade pendant to protect his spirit.
It was the same as the one he had received when he first met Shi Yuezhu.
Shen Han naturally had something in return, which was the jade pendant he obtained in the Secret Realm.
After Shen Han explained the function of this jade pendant, Shi Yuezhu did not dare to accept it.
Carrying this jade pendant could directly negate the effects of other arrays.
Such a function is akin to a priceless treasure.
Seeing Shi Yuezhu decline, Shen Han immediately showed the one he had on him.
Seeing he already had one, Shi Yuezhu did not continue to refuse.
However, a treasure like this is indeed rare in the world.
Carrying this jade pendant means the function of Array Masters would be completely nullified...
This jade pendant cannot be disclosed to others, or it would cause conflict.
With many students passing through the academy, Shi Yuezhu told Shen Han he didn’t need to see her off.
Shen Han hesitated for a moment, and could only nod.
After Shi Yuezhu left, Shen Han returned to Mr. Zhong’s courtyard.
Seeing Shen Han return, he immediately ordered his attendants to brew a cup of fresh tea.
"It is indeed fortunate to know Fairy Shi, she is always gentle and of excellent character.
To be honest, Fairy Shi’s temperament is much better than that of her disciple.
Even disregarding temperament and character, Fairy Shi’s cultivation talent should be stronger than Su Jinyu’s."
Seeing Shen Han sit down, Mr. Zhong used this meeting to say a couple of things.
"Mr. Zhong, you know Fairy Shi?"
Hearing this question, Mr. Zhong looked at Shen Han somewhat helplessly.
"Your question is quite something. Though I’m a few years older than Fairy Shi, I’m still from the same era of cultivators.
Peak Master Shi’s status back then was on par with Su Jinyu, or even higher.
Her sword talent back in the day was unparalleled in the world.
Rumor has it that many Sword Cultivators, after sparring with her, ended up breaking their swords.
Abandoning the sword and pursuing other paths..."
As Mr. Zhong spoke, he paused, seemingly reminiscing.
"Though Peak Master Shi’s swordsmanship was fierce, she was very gentle by nature.
Even those who lost to her never faced belittlement or ridicule from her.
She would patiently guide others.
In those days, countless people admired her from the heart...
Peak Master Shi should be considered as one of the rare women who were exceptionally graceful both inside and out."
