Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 266 - 265: Her Suspicions Are Well-Founded
Su Jinyu heard these words and secretly memorized them all.
As a member of the Su Family, she naturally had to be concerned about the Su Family’s matters.
Right now, she somewhat understood what her father said.
Su Zhensheng previously said Shen Han was suited to enter the court, which Su Jinyu found hard to comprehend.
She was even quite doubtful in her heart, but after this brief conversation, her perception of Shen Han had undergone a significant change.
She had previously thought a lot, identifying numerous potential reasons for the Su Family’s decline.
But now, it seemed that Shen Han’s casual remarks were even more insightful.
What she had thought of were merely trivialities, difficult to influence the bigger picture.
She had no profound understanding of the judgments made in the court.
Seeing Su Jinyu’s worried expression, Shi Yuezhu waved repeatedly.
"Let’s not discuss these court matters; as practitioners, we should maintain focus.
Since you both practice Sword Dao, let’s discuss the troubles encountered during cultivation.
You’re both young talents of this generation, surely there are many things you can exchange."
Shi Yuezhu glanced at Su Jinyu and then looked at Shen Han.
After a moment, Su Jinyu didn’t persist on the Su Family matters and looked at Shen Han: "On the day we sparred, you summoned countless Sword Shadows, each remarkably sharp.
Lately, I’ve been pondering.
Those Sword Shadows seem like an Abnormal Phenomenon, yet also not...
More than that, they resemble the force perceived by strong practitioners in legends.
Could you tell me, what exactly are those Sword Shadows?"
Su Jinyu’s tone was sincere, with a serious expression on her face.
After losing to Shen Han, she was deeply curious about this move.
Su Jinyu had always been proud of her Sword Dao talent, even after losing to Shen Han, she still considered her talent in Sword Dao extraordinary.
But she couldn’t make sense of this move, not to mention comprehending its core.
Shen Han heard her question, and his expression remained calm as before.
He responded with two words: "I can’t."
His refusal was crisp and definitive.
The carriage instantly fell into silence and awkwardness.
Shen Han’s rejection was utterly unreserved, without the slightest kindness.
Seeing this, Shi Yuezhu hurriedly interjected, a gentle smile on her face.
"Every practitioner has their secrets.
Jinyu, naturally, you wouldn’t want to share the secrets of your heart with others.
Why not talk about something else, and exchange cultivation methods?
To reach this stage, you surely have faced doubts and obstacles."
Upon hearing her master’s words, Su Jinyu grumbled, her face showing a hint of anger.
"It’s not that he doesn’t want to share with others, he just doesn’t want to tell me.
If my master asks him, surely he would agree."
Upon hearing Su Jinyu’s sulking remarks, Shi Yuezhu repeatedly comforted her.
"The Secret Technique Shen Han managed to comprehend is indeed something he won’t share with anyone, even if the master asks, the result would be the same.
When you two converse, avoid discussing sensitive cultivation insights, then it’s appropriate."
Shi Yuezhu had barely finished speaking, when Shen Han unexpectedly spoke up.
"If the Moon Bamboo Peak Master wishes to know about those Sword Shadows, I am willing to share."
His simple words made Su Jinyu even more annoyed; it was clearly aimed at her.
While sitting beside her, Shi Yuezhu was rather helpless.
The look of helplessness on her face, with starry eyes gazing at Shen Han, looking as if she was wronged by him...
Shi Yuezhu already appeared gentle, now even more so, evoking sympathy...
"Please don’t bully Jinyu, okay..."
Shi Yuezhu said softly, and seeing this, Shen Han had to purse his lips and nod.
"Jinyu’s Sword Dao talent indeed has many merits.
Many insights even make me, the master, feel inferior."
Shi Yuezhu seriously emphasized once again, only then did they start to discuss the proper matters of Sword Dao cultivation.
The exchange between talents involves much less meaningless chatter.
No need for unnecessary explanations; just a quick point is enough to grasp the meaning.
Honestly, Su Jinyu felt quite delightful discussing Sword Dao with Shen Han.
It felt like finding a kindred spirit; wherever she faced difficulties, Shen Han could easily point them out.
Her ideas and realizations were complemented by Shen Han’s extremely objective commentary.
Compared to Shen Ye, Su Jinyu even felt that chatting with Shen Han was even more pleasant.
The only uncomfortable aspect was Shen Han’s frequent glances at her master whenever he spoke.
Possibly, Shen Han himself hadn’t noticed his own little gesture.
The doubt that had dissipated about Shen Han now resurfaced anew.
The carriage paused mid-journey for a brief rest, as the three prepared to eat some food.
Shi Yuezhu unexpectedly expressed a desire to taste grilled fish.
Hearing her master’s words, Su Jinyu found it peculiar.
She had traveled with her master many times, and her master had never made such a request.
Before she could respond, Shen Han had already gone off to catch fish...
Su Jinyu followed behind, as Shen Han held a branch in his hand.
In the nearby stream, each time he moved, another fish would appear on the branch.
In no time, Shen Han returned with the fish.
Shi Yuezhu had already set up a fire pit, directly placing the fish over it to grill...
Witnessing this scene, Su Jinyu was at a loss for words.
Why were her master and Shen Han in such harmony...
The fish in the stream generally couldn’t grow too large.
Merely tasting the flavor.
Seeing Su Jinyu unwilling to try, Shi Yuezhu comforted her, assuring her the taste was excellent.
But the more she said, the stranger Su Jinyu felt....
Back on the carriage, the three set off once more.
Calculating the time, they reckoned it would take about half a day to reach the location of the Secret Realm.
As night fell, the three found a mountaintop to settle on.
As the strongest of the group, Shi Yuezhu prepared to keep watch outside the carriage for any unforeseen circumstances.
It’s crucial to know that both Shen Han and Su Jinyu were young talents of Great Wei.
Many seek to make them targets.
Particularly Shen Han, whose conflict with Luo Zuchen is well-known.
They couldn’t afford to be careless.
Seeing Shi Yuezhu step out, Shen Han, seemingly avoiding suspicion, also left the carriage and chose an open space to meditate.
The summer night was clear, with a bright moonlight.
Su Jinyu quietly lifted the curtain on the carriage to peek outside.
As expected, just as she foresaw.
Compared to his restraint during the day, under the moonlight, Shen Han’s gaze was reckless.
Always gazing at her master.
Su Jinyu felt she had uncovered something.
Now she suspected with justified reasoning!
