Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 253 - 252: The Mountain Sea Dean’s Tirade

"Please have a seat, Fairy Yuezhu. Would it be a bother if Cailing and I sit by?"

Madam Yun inquired so earnestly that Shi Yuezhu couldn’t possibly say she’d be disturbed.

"Not at all, not at all. Madam Yun, you are Shen Han’s elder.

Today, Jinyu and I are here just to check on Shen Han’s recovery."

Shi Yuezhu’s attire leaned towards a plain elegance, without excessive decorations.

The only adornment was a bamboo branch and a green leaf entwined in her hair.

The bamboo branch seemed to have been casually picked.

Yet, as an accessory on Shi Yuezhu, it added a certain gracefulness.

Madam Yun and Cailing kept casting glances at Shi Yuezhu, intentionally or not.

They made Shi Yuezhu feel a bit self-conscious under their gaze.

Sitting beside Shi Yuezhu, Su Jinyu wore a displeased expression.

Since entering the parlor, Madam Yun and Cailing hadn’t even looked her way.

In conversation, they only spoke with Shi Yuezhu.

When Madam Yun presented gifts to her own master, she completely ignored her...

Shi Yuezhu also felt a bit awkward and inquired about Shen Han’s condition.

Knowing he had completely recovered, she felt a little relieved.

While speaking, she prepared to leave with Su Jinyu.

But as soon as she stood up, Madam Yun rose too, gently taking Shi Yuezhu’s hand.

"Fairy Yuezhu, if you’re free today, could you join us for a simple meal?

There was a little misunderstanding last time you were at the Yun Mansion.

We didn’t get a chance to have you dine with us."

Though already having entered the Immortal Realm, Shi Yuezhu really didn’t know how to handle this situation.

Madam Yun’s warmth made her truly anxious.

A glance at Shen Han from the corner of her eye, he finally chimed in.

"Madam Yun, Moon Bamboo Peak Master has much on her plate. Please don’t keep her..."

"Yes, thank you for your kind invitation, Madam Yun.

It’s just that there are too many chores on Xiaoyao Peak. It’s really inconvenient today, but I will certainly come next time..."

Faced with their duet of decline, Madam Yun rolled her eyes at Shen Han, clearly expressing blame.

Then, she switched to a gentle expression, looking at Shi Yuezhu.

"If you really have something today, then I won’t insist.

But Fairy Yuezhu, when exactly is this ’next time’?

I’m free every day, tell me a date, and I’ll prepare in advance..."

Shi Yuezhu: "..."

Finally choosing a day during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shi Yuezhu managed to get away.

After leaving the parlor, Shi Yuezhu held Su Jinyu’s hand and quickly left Tianyi Academy, feeling somewhat relieved.

Madam Yun’s enthusiasm was really more than she was accustomed to.

Beside her, Su Jinyu looked extremely unhappy.

She hesitated for a while before finally speaking up to her master.

"Master...

Why is Madam Yun so enthusiastic towards you, offering earrings and even wanting to invite you for a meal?

The earrings are exquisitely crafted, with the mark of a master, truly precious..."

Su Jinyu slightly pouted, feeling displeased.

"Madam Yun only glanced at me once when I entered.

After that, she didn’t even look at me, let alone speak..."

The differential treatment was blatant.

Shi Yuezhu calmed her mind, also puzzled by Madam Yun’s kindness towards her...

"I believe it’s because I protected Shen Han for a few days before; Madam Yun seems to appreciate that favor, hence her warmth.

As for you, Jinyu, you were once close to Shen Ye and even broke off an engagement with Shen Han.

Madam Yun cares deeply for Shen Han, and it’s likely she bears some resentment towards you..."

Shi Yuezhu’s explanation seemed reasonable.

Su Jinyu furrowed her brows but nodded.

Yet, in her heart, a strange thought emerged.

Could it be that her master and Shen Han had some odd relationship...?

Tilting her head slightly, she glanced at her master.

Their statuses, realms, and strengths were seemingly unmatched...

Thinking it over, Su Jinyu shook her head.

Comparatively, she felt more suited to Shen Han.

After Shi Yuezhu and Su Jinyu departed, Shen Han frowned, looking somewhat helpless.

"Madam Yun, you just now..."

Before Shen Han could finish, Madam Yun stood up, looking back at him.

"What’s wrong? Are you going to blame me?

All I did was gift a pair of earrings to my future daughter-in-law.

Is there an issue?

Fairy Yuezhu, I simply liked her and wanted to present a small gift~"

Madam Yun spoke with a hint of pride on her face.

Just now, it was clearly intentional.

"Madam Yun... Between the Peak Master and me, there are still many obstacles.

She is, after all, a Peak Master of Xiaoyao Peak..."

Hearing Shen Han’s words, Madam Yun feigned anger.

"If we wait for you to take initiative, Cailing’Er and I would be waiting until our hair falls out."

Speaking, Madam Yun stepped to Shen Han’s side with small steps.

"Tell me, are you and Fairy Yuezhu still at the hand-holding stage?"

The last time at the Yun Mansion, Shen Han had been pressured similarly by Madam Yun.

Now, more than a month later, there really hadn’t been any progress...

Seeing Shen Han turn his head, not answering, Madam Yun knew she hit the mark again.

"Han, you are already nineteen.

Though still young in the realm of cultivation, you’re behind in marriage and parenting.

Look at big families in Yun’an City; they’re married by sixteen.

You need to act faster!"

Shen Han only nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

Though listening, what difference would it make...

"To speak truthfully, the Moon Bamboo Peak Master is truly remarkable.

Not only is she beautiful, but her strength is formidable~

Who knows when it would be publicly announced — if people in Anyang found out our dear Han had wed an Immortal Fairy, they’d be envious beyond measure~"

Hearing this, Shen Han could only smile slightly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Even he didn’t know how long it would take...

After a chat, seeing that Shen Han truly was no longer ill, Madam Yun and Cailing made plans to return to Anyang.

Shen Han suggested they stay another night and explore the Capital City for its delicacies in the evening.

The two did not refuse, as women, to some extent, enjoy wandering around.

Currently, Shen Han’s status had improved; when he left the academy, there were experts secretly protecting him.

...

Mountain Sea Academy.

At this moment, Shen Ye and Luo Zuchen were confining themselves in a room, faces stern.

Upon returning from the academy tournament, the two were severely scolded by the Mountain Sea Dean.

Normally refined, the dean even used harsh words.

Luo Zuchen could throw tantrums however he pleased; the dean didn’t care.

But this time, he used the academy’s name recklessly outside.
