Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 606 - 586: Shen Ye Reaches the 96th Level of the 1,000 Autumn Steps

The sound of knocking on the door echoed.

Even though there was no response, Shen Lingwei still pushed the door open and entered.

"My condolences. Mr. Luo’s untimely death, we know it deeply saddens you.

But the dead cannot return, his spirit in heaven would want you, Ye’Er, to pull yourself together."

While speaking, Shen Lingwei waved his hand.

He signaled the servants outside to bring in some food.

"Your mother has just made this for you, to ease the burden in your heart.

You are injured, you must rest well to recover better.

I won’t disturb you further, pay attention to your state of mind.

When you rise again, you will be stronger."

Having said that, Shen Lingwei left, closing the door behind him.

In Shen Lingwei’s view, his son’s current state is surely due to grief and anger.

After all, his mentor, Mr. Luo, died today.

This Luo Zuchen may have wronged many.

However, there was definitely no wrongdoing towards Shen Ye.

Mr. Luo cared deeply for his student, treating Shen Ye as his successor.

It’s not an exaggeration to say he gave his all.

Yet at this moment, Shen Ye’s heart held more anger than sadness.

Back then, Shen Ye was able to reach the ninety-sixth step of the Thousand-Autumn platform in one go.

From that time on, everyone should have known.

This child, Shen Ye, is extremely selfish, his heart only considers his own benefits.

His joys and sorrows, his anger and calm, are only related to himself.

And will only concern himself.

With Luo Zuchen’s death, Shen Ye thinks about losing a guardian.

He lost a support.

Even if there is sadness, it is for himself, not for Luo Zuchen.

Of course, most of his thoughts are filled with endless anger.

The words Luo Changping spoke still echoed in Shen Ye’s ears.

He said that Shen Ye would never surpass Shen Han.

Those words pierced him more easily than a sharp sword.

The name Shen Han is like a stone, constantly colliding in his heart.

Reflecting on the past in the Shen Family, how insignificant Shen Han was.

He didn’t even have the right to speak to him.

To be honest, Shen Ye has always looked down on Shen Han.

Even as Shen Han’s abilities improved, surpassing him.

Shen Ye’s mind always pictured Shen Han’s desolate appearance.

But from today on, Shen Ye’s evaluation of Shen Han completely changed.

Even if he wanted to view Shen Han with his old perspective, reality wouldn’t allow it.

Like the others in the Shen Family, before Luo Changping spoke those words.

Shen Ye also believed that Shen Han couldn’t have entered the Immortal Realm.

If Shen Han had entered the Immortal Realm.

During the last Academy competition, Shen Han should have seized the opportunity to crush him.

But in reality, Shen Han’s initial target was always Luo Zuchen.

Shen Ye is arrogant at heart, but he’s not stupid.

With Luo Changping’s words, Shen Han’s entry into the Immortal Realm was a fact.

Luo Changping wouldn’t lie about Luo Zuchen’s death.

From now on, whenever Shen Ye encounters Shen Han, he must avoid him.

Otherwise, he truly might be in lethal danger.

An Immortal Realm Shen Han could take Shen Ye’s life in just a few moves.

The entire night, Shen Ye dealt with his inner arrogance.

This once proud genius now has to practice with his head lowered...

...

After resting in the capital, Shen Han prepared to return to Anyang City.

Shi Yuezhu was to head back to Xiaoyao Peak.

The two temporarily parted ways.

Currently in Anyang City, rumors of Shen Han spread wildly.

The news of Luo Zuchen’s death wasn’t as talked about in Anyang City.

The biggest topic was Shen Han entering the Immortal Realm.

The youngest Immortal Realm in Great Wei truly deserved the heated discussion.

In the Yun Mansion, Madam Yun’s initial disbelief now turned into skepticism.

When Shen Han returned to Yun Mansion, Yun Shuang immediately pulled Shen Han into her courtyard.

First making Shen Han stand, Yun Shuang and Cailing thoroughly checked him over.

Only after confirming that Shen Han wasn’t injured did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Shen Han was about to sit down when Yun Shuang pulled him up again.

"There are still things to be explained, don’t think you can sit down."

Madam Yun pouted, and Cailing mimicked her actions.

"Did I... do something wrong somewhere..."

Shen Han wore a helpless smile and softly asked back.

Seeing Shen Han smile, the two women pouted even more.

"Don’t you dare make light, we haven’t forgiven you yet."

Saying this, Madam Yun took out a branch, seemingly intending to discipline Shen Han.

But can such a branch really hurt a powerful Immortal Realm individual...

"Han, tell me honestly, people outside are saying you have achieved Immortal Realm strength.

Be truthful, is it true?"

The two thought Shen Han would still keep it from them and pressed him with their questioning.

In fact, Shen Han was already prepared to reveal everything.

Han nodded calmly.

Seeing this, Madam Yun seemed to get a bit excited.

"So, the rumor that you killed Luo Zuchen is true then?"

Hearing this, Shen Han naturally nodded again.

This second nod directly made Madam Yun feel annoyed.

She turned her face away, refusing to look at Shen Han.

Just as expected, she’s really angry now.

In the next two-hour period, Shen Han explained the reason while sitting on the side.

Although Madam Yun was still annoyed, she continued to listen.

After explaining the reasons, Shen Han recounted his experiences over the past two years to both of them.

Upon hearing Shen Han’s hardships over these two years.

He endured great difficulties just to advance to the Immortal Realm a bit sooner, and return to Great Wei.

Madam Yun quickly softened in her heart.

Dinner time, the family gathered together.

Shen Han recounted his plans and the scenes that unfolded in the Imperial Palace to everyone in the Yun Family.

Upon hearing about the Imperial Family’s schemes, Patriarch Yun’s brow furrowed tightly.

"If the Yun Family continues to develop, the Imperial Family is likely to use tactics against us..."

What the Patriarch Yun said was almost inevitable.

This emerging power, the Imperial Family will definitely try every means to draw it closer to themselves.

"If there’s no surprise, they might make a move this year.

This time the Luo Zuchen threat, the Yun Family’s Pills were all sold to the countries of Yan and Qi.

Just this point alone probably has already displeased the Imperial Court."

The topic was somewhat serious, after a few remarks from the group, the Yun Family’s uncle started to smooth things over with a smile.

Telling everyone not to discuss these matters anymore and to speak of happy ones instead.

After all, dealing with Luo Zuchen was a very joyous event.

"Earlier, those forces didn’t dare to buy the Yun Family Pills, with Luo Zuchen dead, they likely won’t have concerns anymore.

After the storm, the skies will clear, let’s all have a drink together."

Saying so, the Yun Family’s uncle was quite excited, inviting everyone to celebrate with a toast.

Shen Han also raised his glass with a smile.

Yet in his heart, he understood he had eliminated Luo Zuchen.

Luo Changping likely wouldn’t let this go easily.

But, to Shen Han, Luo Zuchen had to die.

If he went mad, he would harm Shen Han’s close ones.

Thus, no matter how much Luo Changping was provoked, Shen Han would eliminate Luo Zuchen.

Looking ahead, he might plan on how to deal with the hidden threat of Luo Changping.

During dinner, everyone felt warm and happy, like a true family.

At the dining table, the Yun Family’s uncle mentioned some recent rumors.

And as Shen Han thought, the earlier rumors about him and Shi Yuezhu.

Mostly mocking, jesting.

The remarks always said Shen Han had overreached.

If Shi Yuezhu took a liking to Shen Han, she must be blind.

Anyway, there were no positive comments about them.

But since Shen Han exhibited his Immortal Realm strength, as the news spread, these demeaning jokes gradually fell silent.

Now about the two of them, words like "match made in heaven," "immortal couple," and "golden jade match" are spoken.

Once strength reaches a certain level, people’s verbal evaluations all turn into good words.

Returning from the Divine Land, it’s been about six months.

Shen Han carefully calculated his progress, which was faster than he planned.

For within two years, he managed to cause Luo Zuchen’s demise, Shen Han felt very accomplished.

Achieving his plans so quickly was somewhat unexpected.

Luo Zuchen is dead, leaving only the threat of Luo Changping.

This Immortal Realm Second Grade expert is not someone who can be dealt with in a short time.

He had some calculations in mind, but certainly, it would be long-term planning.

In contemplation, Shen Han took out his Sound Transmission Jade and talked about his recent experiences to Sect Leader Yu.

If there’s time, Shen Han plans to go to the Divine Land with Shi Yuezhu.

Regarding the enhancement of strength, the cultivation of the Divine Soul is now the most effective for Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu.

For a Third Grade to break into Second Grade, it’s undoubtedly several times more difficult than enhancing the Divine Soul strength.

During the transmission, Sect Leader Yu also teased Shen Han, asking if he was already married back home.

If there’s a chance, he suggested Shen Han bring his partner along too.

After the idle talk, Sect Leader Yu’s tone became slightly solemn.

"Do you remember those strange light orbs appearing in the sky earlier?"

Those peculiar light orbs In the Void, Shen Han not only remembered but had a deep impression of them.

"Did any abnormalities occur with those light orbs?"

If Sect Leader Yu brought it up specially, it indicated that something significant might be there.

"This happened just a few months ago, my elder brother received news that someone fell into those light orbs.

It seems that walking to a particular location causes one to fall in..."

Hearing this, Shen Han was somewhat surprised.

"Fell into those light orbs?"

"My elder brother didn’t explain clearly, the top experts of the Divine Land are now gathered together.

They are all discussing what these light orbs might be, feeling that it doesn’t seem like a good thing."

Yu Chou couldn’t explain these light orbs either.

Moreover, at his level, it’s difficult to access the latest news.

Surely, only Senior Yuyou could provide insights.

Keeping this matter in mind, Shen Han was indeed curious about those strange light orbs.

If someone could fall into them, it was highly likely to be a Teleportation Array.

However, it seemed like no one had seen a Teleportation Array in this form.
