The eastern courtyard of Mountain Sea Academy.
Luo Zuchen has been visiting Shen Ye daily these past few days.
Every ti he recalls that day when the head of Tianyi Academy dared to strike at his beloved disciple, a hint of ruthlessness appears in his eyes.
"Ye’Er, are you feeling any better today?
Your mother is very worried, she even contacted last night."
Hearing Luo Zuchen’s words, Shen Ye imdiately stood up.
"Mr. Luo, rest assured, Shen Ye is not just a decorative pillow without abilities.
Besides, I have a magical treasure to ward off sneak attacks, so it’s nothing serious."
Shen Ye being unhard put Luo Zuchen at ease sowhat.
However, there was still a hint of ferocity on his face.
"In all my years, it’s the first ti soone dared to strike at my disciple in front of .
It seems I’ve been dormant for too long over the years, and those people have forgotten the glory of my past.
If I don’t show them so color, they’ll think I’m easy to bully."
Shen Ye, standing beside him, rely smiled at these words.
"They probably haven’t forgotten; if they truly had, they wouldn’t have held back when striking at ~"
In response, Luo Zuchen let out a cold snort:
"Holding back is still an attack!
I rely waved my hand, it was Shen Han’s own lack of strength that left him unable to withstand it.
Had I known sooner, I should have been even harsher and eliminated him.
That would clear a path for you, Ye’Er."
The pen in Shen Ye’s hand didn’t stop, still writing away.
But he did not agree with these words.
"In my view, Shen Han is not really an obstacle.
It’s just that hearing his na is annoying, like a pest buzzing around.
Even the sound of it is vexing."
Luo Zuchen nodded in so satisfaction at this remark.
"Indeed, Ye’Er, your sights should be set on the entire continent, not just limited to Great Wei.
Your cousin rely stumbled upon so luck.
When it cos to potential, he is far beneath you.
If he’s truly that botherso, I can take care of Shen Han for you.
That way, he won’t disturb your temperant."
Shen Ye slightly shook his head: "After Mr. Luo took action at Tianyi Academy, many powerful figures in Great Wei have been keeping an eye on it.
To move against him further would be troubleso, no need to waste thoughts on him.
Now, the opponents I focus on are the top prodigies from Qi Country and Yan Country.
Especially the one from Qi Country, rumored to be a year older than but already in the Fifth Grade Fruit Realm.
His saber technique has the might to cleave mountains, and the stance of commanding an army on stage..."
Listening to his student speak this way, Luo Zuchen felt even he had been shortsighted.
Even having Shen Ye worry about Shen Han seed trivial.
Soone like that is a speck of sand, rely an irritation when it gets in your eye.
But the impact is only that.
As he was about to leave, Luo Zuchen suddenly rembered sothing else.
"Ye’Er, regarding Jinyu, should we intervene...
You know, before the competition, your Miss Su made a bold claim, with considerable consequences.
Said she’d beco a servant..."
As he spoke, Luo Zuchen couldn’t help but sigh.
Shen Ye furrowed his brow slightly, thinking for a while before speaking.
"I think we should wait for news first, see what conditions Shen Han might propose, then consider our next steps.
I’ve heard recently that the Su Family has grown quite close with Shen Han.
Conversely, they seem to have so distance with our Shen Family.
If it truly turns out to be a rift, then my ties with Su Jinyu are naturally severed."
For soone who can ascend eighty levels on the Thousand-Autumn steps, their temperant should indeed be this detached.
Emotions, perhaps in Shen Ye’s eyes, are rely items to exchange for benefits.
...
The sky was faintly bright, just reaching 7:00 AM.
Last night, after leaving Tianyi Academy, Shi Yuezhu did not imdiately seek out Su Jinyu.
She only arrived at the Rain Listening Pavilion now.
Upon seeing Shi Yuezhu standing before her, Su Jinyu leaned over with an aggrieved look.
"Master... Jinyu was wrong..."
Shi Yuezhu didn’t speak, only gave her a light hug.
"I’ve already talked with Shen Han, you should go see him yourself, he won’t make it difficult for you.
He should only make a small request."
However, upon hearing this, Su Jinyu’s expression still looked bad.
She really didn’t want to see Shen Han, feeling she couldn’t hold her head high in front of him.
Recalling that day, after he won against her, he said nothing at all.
This silence was more painful than any verbal mockery.
The maid Qingcao, standing not far away, also stepped forward a few paces.
Facing Shi Yuezhu, Qingcao was rather bold in speaking up.
After all, the Moon Bamboo Peak Master was always gentle, almost never seen angry.
"Moon Bamboo Peak Master, what exactly is the small request Shen Han wants to make...
Could it be he harbors so infatuation for my lady, wanting to use this..."
Before she could finish, Shi Yuezhu shook her head repeatedly.
"No need for wild guesses, Shen Han is likely just asking for sothing, not making any such requests.
Infatuations and such are rely outsiders’ conjectures.
After the engagent between the Shen and Su families was annulled, the connection was already severed.
Such words should not be ntioned again in the future."
Qingcao nodded dumbly, rarely seeing Shi Yuezhu speak so sternly.
Hearing this, Su Jinyu also refrained from speaking further, knowing her master holds Shen Han in high regard.
Her maid’s comnts naturally wouldn’t be well-received by her master.
After this encounter, even Su Jinyu no longer held the sa prejudice against Shen Han as before.
Previously, Su Jinyu always felt a great distance between herself and Shen Han.
Even allowing him to see her was considered a grand favor to him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Han had rely been hiding his true abilities all along.
Her master, and even her father, had seen through it, while she remained oblivious.
Su Jinyu sent her maid off to rest.
She sat beside her master, recounting the exchange with Shen Han, analyzing it for Shi Yuezhu.
After all, being a Sword Dao genius, her mory and understanding of sword techniques were top-notch.
She even reenacted the moves in the courtyard for Shi Yuezhu to see.
After fully demonstrating the duel, Su Jinyu returned to sit beside her master.
"Master, this was roughly the situation at the ti.
I thought about it carefully at night but couldn’t grasp or clearly understand his techniques.
Especially those fierce sword shadows he summoned, they seed endless, hard to fend off...
Master, how could I have won against him that day?"
Su Jinyu, being sowhat impatient by nature, had never had the thought of reconsidering and analyzing her matches.
Of course, in competitions, she rarely lost and so never needed to reflect.
Shi Yuezhu, sitting beside her, slightly furrowed her brows.
"Jinyu, from the situation you just reenacted...
No matter how hard you tried, you probably couldn’t defeat Shen Han at that ti.
His techniques were exceedingly restrained.
Shen Han was likely hiding his true strength..."
Shi Yuezhu spoke softly, not wanting to discourage her disciple greatly.
But judging from Su Jinyu’s demonstration, it truly was the case...
Shen Han was not going all out.
