The scenery of Moon Bamboo Peak is distinctly different from other peaks.
Every sight and object are imbued with a touch of gentleness.
Along the way, many bamboo groves are planted.
Back at Tianyi Academy, Shen Han often visited the Book Collection Pavilion, reading various classical texts.
In a general knowledge book, this kind of bamboo was recorded.
Its na is Moon Bamboo.
It is said that this bamboo prefers to grow under the moonlit night.
The more brilliant the moonlight, the faster it grows, hence its na.
As Shen Han passed by, he gently touched it with his hand.
Though they are all Moon Bamboo, the texture of the Moon Bamboo Peak Master’s skin is much superior...
Before long, they seed to reach a courtyard, and the leading senior brother politely took his leave.
Beyond this point, wandering around freely was not allowed.
Shen Han expressed his gratitude and then lightly knocked on the courtyard door.
The closer he got, the more worried he beca.
He wondered how serious Shi Yuezhu’s injury was...
After a mont, the courtyard door opened inward.
A female attendant bowed to Shen Han, then hurried a half-step ahead to lead the way.
After passing through the front yard, they entered the main courtyard.
"Please wait a mont, young master."
With that, the attendant bowed and left.
Monts later, while Shen Han was waiting, Shi Yuezhu did not appear.
Instead, the visitor was Su Jinyu, whom he didn’t want to see.
As she approached, Su Jinyu’s face was somber, with a hint of fierce anger beneath.
Suppressing his inner displeasure, Shen Han still got up: "Miss Su, how is the Moon Bamboo Peak Master?"
Hearing this, Su Jinyu did not answer the question.
She stared sternly at Shen Han.
"What did you do to Brother Ye? Why is he injured?"
Ever since Shen Ye told her about the assassination attempt, Su Jinyu had been worried.
Especially since Shen Ye said it would take at least five months to recover fully.
Just hearing this made Su Jinyu’s heart ache.
"What does Miss Su an by this? I’m not quite clear."
Shen Han looked puzzled, not revealing a single clue.
On the surface, he and Shen Ye were still cousins.
Whether he made a move against him or vice versa,
neither could be made public, nor would it be admitted.
"Don’t pretend to be so innocent; Brother Ye has told .
The day he was attacked was your secret ambush."
Speaking, a trace of resentnt even appeared on Su Jinyu’s face.
"In my view, Shen Han, you are not fit to be human.
Brother Ye is your older brother, the heir of the Shen Family.
Your strike against him, doesn’t your conscience condemn you?"
The hatred in Su Jinyu’s eyes shone even brighter.
If not for being on Moon Bamboo Peak, she might even have intended to strike.
Faced with Su Jinyu’s questioning, Shen Han frowned and showed confusion.
"What does Miss Su an by these words?
It seems you’re implying that the one who attempted to kill Brother Shen Ye is ?"
"If not you, then who? Brother Ye was clear; he knows it was you!"
Seeing Su Jinyu’s certainty, Shen Han was even more resolute.
"Since Miss Su is so convinced, then let’s confront each other at the governnt office.
Harming a brother is indeed a serious cri.
I, Shen Han, am unafraid."
Shen Han’s deanor was serious, showing no fear in confronting her.
Seeing Shen Han so calmly, even wanting to confront her in words, left Su Jinyu at a loss for how to respond.
After a good while, she managed to say: "You, how shaless!"
The words made even Shen Han a bit angry.
"Miss Su, I ca today to visit the Moon Bamboo Peak Master, not to endure your scolding.
Besides, Brother Shen Ye’s master, Luo Zuchen, has acted without scruples for years, with a strange temperant and ruthless actions.
I don’t know how many he has offended, how many issues he has raised.
The number of people in the capital who want to take them down is countless.
Is it not normal for Brother Shen Ye to face assassination?
Does Miss Su know nothing about all that Luo Zuchen has done?"
Shen Han’s voice and deanor were severe, speaking with logic and confidence, more assured than Su Jinyu.
But Su Jinyu’s expression still carried severity.
"Mr. Luo is infamous, and over the years, others are too afraid to provoke him.
There’s no need to find baseless reasons.
Brother Ye was clear, and the assassin is you!"
As Su Jinyu spoke with such certainty, Shen Han let out a light laugh.
"Today, Miss Su speaks so assuredly.
But the truth she identifies is just a unilateral statent from Brother Shen Ye.
Does Miss Su believe everything Brother Shen Ye says?
Besides, there’s no evidence for Brother Shen Ye’s assassination attempt, yet you have already determined it was .
Is Miss Su intending to send to the Jingzhao Mansion for the prefect to convict ?"
Shen Han’s words seed to stir up more of Su Jinyu’s anger.
"Shouldn’t you be convicted?
You acted against your own brother, disregarding kinship, with a ruthless temperant.
Shouldn’t soone like you be convicted!"
Her words were firm and unwavering.
Seeing Su Jinyu so resolved, speaking with such vehence, Shen Han truly laughed.
"Miss Su speaks rightly; disregarding kinship, with a ruthless temperant, indeed deserves conviction.
Brother Shen Ye’s attack was sothing Miss Su only heard about.
You were not there to see the truth, just rely guessing.
But..."
Mid-sentence, Shen Han shifted his gaze to Su Jinyu.
"But the day we erged from the Little Pool Secret Realm, Brother Shen Ye attacked with ruthless ans, attempting to take a life.
Miss Su must have seen the scene in full that day.
Does Brother Shen Ye’s disregard for kinship and ruthless temperant deserve conviction at the Jingzhao Mansion?
Previously, lacking a witness, if Miss Su is willing to testify, I, Shen Han, am willing to formally accuse him."
Shen Han looked seriously straight at Su Jinyu.
Originally so confident, Su Jinyu seed to deflate.
Previously talking about disregarding kinship, ruthless temperant,
implying that soone who attempted against a brother should suffer the harshest punishnt.
But when such things fell upon Shen Ye, sohow, it didn’t seem as severe...
"Miss Su, what do you think?
You personally witnessed Brother Shen Ye attacking that day.
His thods were ruthless, the techniques all seeking my life.
If there’s ti today, after visiting Moon Bamboo Peak Master, we might as well head back to the Capital City to formally accuse my elder brother."
Shen Han’s face was full of seriousness, his words simply reflecting all she previously said back at her.
But when Shen Ye was at fault, talk of brotherly and familial affection seed to lose all effect.
