The Patriarch Yun’s eyes fell on the Piercing Mountain Sacred Bud, faintly shimring.
"The last ti I saw this Piercing Mountain Sacred Bud was five years ago.
This dicinal herb can be added to other Pills in alchemy to enhance their properties.
If inconvenient to refine, consuming it directly also has considerable effects."
The Patriarch Yun seed quite knowledgeable about it and began explaining its uses to Madam Yun.
Its bud alone can be consud, and when taken by a Martial Artist, it significantly strengthens the body.
"Shuang’Er, where did you acquire such a Divine Object?
Years ago, I wished to purchase one, but it was unobtainable, no matter the price."
Upon hearing her father’s words, Madam Yun lowered her gaze slightly.
"Her generosity towards Han is truly remarkable..."
The seemingly random comnt left the Patriarch Yun confused: "Who? Who is generous...?"
Madam Yun did not elaborate further, only telling her father that this Piercing Mountain Sacred Bud was a gift for Shen Han from soone else.
She asked her father to refine it into a Pill for Shen Han’s use.
Upon hearing this, the Patriarch Yun readily agreed.
Truth be told, he hoped to assist Shen Han more, to repay so favors.
After finishing dinner, Madam Yun and Cailing returned to the courtyard from the dining hall.
"Cailing’Er..."
Hearing Madam Yun call her, Cailing quickly approached her.
"You might not have guessed wrongly; Han and that Fairy Shi might indeed be involved in sothing unusual..."
Upon hearing this, Cailing seed intrigued as well.
"From the mont Young Master Han and Fairy Shi t, I sensed sothing amiss.
Their gazes clearly were not those of strangers eting for the first ti.
Moreover, I’m quite familiar with Young Master Han. Whenever he ets other ladies, he exercises restraint and is mindful of where he looks.
That was exactly how he behaved when eting Fairy Xilan."
Cailing paused as if recalling the scene.
"But in the presence of Fairy Shi, Young Master Han couldn’t help but sneak glances, with sothing peculiar hidden in his eyes..."
This ti, Madam Yun did not refute Cailing’Er’s words.
Already, she felt a tinge of worry, fearing that Shen Han might be deceived by Shi Yuezhu.
A naïve young man isn’t immune to a beauty’s sches.
"Tomorrow, I will probe further, to see what intentions she truly harbors towards Han."
Madam Yun’s eyes glimred with light, guessing a few possibilities.
The night grew darker, nearing midnight.
Though having ascended to the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm, Shen Han wasn’t too excited.
Compared to his rapid advancent before reaching the Sixth Grade, his progress had slowed considerably since then.
Rising from his bed, Shen Han pushed open the door.
On this deep winter night, it was remarkably silent outside, not even the sound of insects.
The world seed sowhat desolate.
With Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm, Shen Han’s vision had beco exceptionally keen.
Although it was dark, he could still see clearly.
Sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, his thoughts were restless.
Shi Yuezhu turned out to be Su Jinyu’s master...
eting her again today, Shen Han could feel Shi Yuezhu’s goodwill towards him.
But Shen Han was also aware of Shi Yuezhu’s difficulties.
Especially the connection between himself and Su Jinyu...
If Su Jinyu were to find out, what had transpired between her master and him in the forests.
How would Shi Yuezhu face it? Perhaps her master’s dignity would be completely lost.
These thoughts had already dawned on Shen Han during the day.
Thus, his words and actions were tinged with caution.
In his pondering, the sound of the watchman’s clapper echoed outside.
It was already 1:00 AM, yet Shen Han felt little fatigue.
After reaching the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm, his efficiency in solitary cultivation had seen a stark decline.
In the forest, Shi Yuezhu had once explained it to him.
Before the Sixth Grade, all is the Mortal Realm.
Strive diligently, with hard training.
Then supplent it with a suitable Body Refining Technique, Spiritual Power cultivation, and advancing to Seventh Grade is almost certain.
But from the mont one steps into the Sixth Grade, resources, talent, experience.
These three are all indispensable!
It was thanks to that Gen Mountain Secret Technique and Celestial Dao Sword Montum that he advanced from the Sixth Grade First Snow Realm to the Half-Step Realm.
However, currently, training within the consciousness seems increasingly ineffective.
Wanting to progress while staying cooped up in the Yun Mansion seems unrealistic.
To seek a place of freedom within this world, to protect those he wished to protect, Sixth Grade strength isn’t nearly enough.
Shen Lingsheng’s threats against him remained deeply engraved in Shen Han’s mind.
The despicable ans employed by the Shen Family in the past are also sothing he intended to retaliate against, one by one.
Aside from this, only by becoming stronger could he prove himself worthy of...
Calculating secretly in his mind, contemplating the next course of action.
Talent he did not lack, and with the support from the Yun Family, resources shouldn’t be too scarce.
But where to seek this experience?
In deep thought, dawn was breaking.
Yesterday, Shi Yuezhu had already taken Shen Han’s letter of annulnt back to the Capital City.
At the Su Family, two letters of annulnt were submitted.
Upon receiving them, the Imperial Family even communicated with the local governnt office to verify with the parties involved.
The Governnt Office in Anyang City visited at 7:00 AM to confirm with Shen Han the authenticity of the annulnt letter.
After Shen Han affird, the Governnt Office in Anyang City promptly reported to the Imperial Family.
The step of confirmation by the governnt office gave Shen Han so speculations.
Most likely, it was soone in the court wishing to help him.
This letter of annulnt obviously offered him an opportunity to seek compensation.
Perhaps it was a reward for having made the Shen and Su Families incur a loss?
After having breakfast, around 7:00 AM.
As promised the day before, Shi Yuezhu visited once more.
eting Shi Yuezhu again, Madam Yun’s deanor improved considerably.
She occasionally turned to gaze upon her intently.
With gentle eyebrows and eyes, her appearance was peerlessly beautiful.
Such a Fairy, the number of n who admire her must be many.
Yet, with her strength, perhaps few n dared to pursue her.
"Miss Yun Family, is there sothing..."
Shi Yuezhu touched her cheek lightly, thinking Madam Yun’s gaze indicated a speck of dirt.
"Nothing, nothing..."
Madam Yun smiled, then called for a servant to bring Shen Han over.
The two t, exchanged a glance, then swiftly averted their gazes.
With a tacit understanding, their eyes t for just a fleeting mont.
Only the onlookers, Madam Yun and Cailing, observed them closely.
Upon seeing this, Madam Yun and Cailing exchanged a knowing glance, nodding to each other.
As they had suspected, those eyes revealed sothing amiss.
In the hall, Shi Yuezhu sat elegantly, awaiting Madam Yun to state her terms.
"Miss Yun Family, have you thought about the compensation I promised yesterday?
If it’s within my capability, I will not refuse," Shi Yuezhu expressed.
Upon hearing this, Madam Yun nodded: "Since childhood, Han was not favored in the Shen Family, and as a mother, I lacked the ability to protect him, to let him live as carefree as other Shen Family offspring.
The annulnt has passed, but many have been offended.
Although the Yun Family holds so sway in the Alchemy Dao, currently, we lack the ability to continuously protect him."
At Mada Yun’s words, Shi Yuezhu had already surmised a bit.
It seed she wished for her to help protect Shen Han.
