Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 128 - 127: Heading to Tianyi Academy

Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Heading to Tianyi Academy
For a moment, Shen Lingsheng thought he had misheard.
"Father is saying that Qianmu Fan... lost to... Shen Han?"
Even just from the tone, one could hear the surprise in Shen Lingsheng’s words.
"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it either.
That rascal somehow learned some mysterious techniques and summoned many Sword Shadows.
Though Qianmu Fan’s Chess Path is deep, he was completely defeated by those strange techniques.
It seems that even his Chess Path was entirely deciphered."
"Qianmu Fan should be the most outstanding young person of the Qianmu Family’s generation. I’ve heard Shen Ye mention him a few times, saying his Chess Path has already reached the strength of the Sixth Grade First Snow Realm.
How could he lose to Shen Han..."
Shen Qingshan also knew that Shen Lingsheng would find it unbelievable, but he was not patient enough to continue explaining.
"For details, discuss it in depth with your mother when you have free time.
Shen Han’s performance was witnessed by us all; it’s certainly not fake, he indeed has some talent.
After all, he is your son and should have inherited some traits.
I am just concerned that after he goes to Tianyi Academy to study, his resentment towards the Shen Family might grow.
The more talented he is, the more trouble he might bring to the Shen Family."
...
In the courtyard on the east side of the Shen Mansion.
After leaving this time, I probably won’t return to the Shen Mansion.
Taking a glance at the simple courtyard behind him, Shen Han did not feel much attachment.
The only thing he was attached to was the occasional joyful days with Madam Yun and Cailing.
But now, both of them have moved into the Yun Mansion.
There is nothing left to be attached to in this Shen Mansion.
"Have you decided to go to Tianyi Academy?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Han nodded.
Shi Yuezhu hesitated for a moment and then decided to share her understanding of Tianyi Academy.
"Tianyi Academy has a relatively short history, and its foundation is somewhat weaker compared to the other three academies in the Capital City.
Your elder brother, Shen Ye, is at the Mountain Sea Academy, which has a much stronger foundation."
In fact, Shi Yuezhu doesn’t highly recommend Shen Han go there.
Shi Yuezhu probably understands Shen Han’s talent the best. Apart from his talent in Sword Dao, in other aspects, he is not inferior even to Su Jinyu.
With such potential, it doesn’t seem worthwhile to go to Tianyi Academy.
"Can that place provide me some help in my training?"
After reaching the Sixth Grade, talent, resources, and training are all indispensable.
The foundation of Tianyi Academy, whether it has sufficiently powerful cultivation technique teachings, is not something Shen Han particularly cares about.
He has the ability to extract terms, so if he really wants to study a cultivation technique, he won’t lack it.
But having a cultivation technique does not mean growing into a formidable expert.
Without adequate training, it’s just a decorative pillow.
"In terms of training, it’s not a problem. After all, the training for young people in the Capital is usually organized by multiple academies together.
This also reduces some risks, with more experts protecting together."
"That seems good, I feel like Tianyi Academy might be quite suitable for me."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuezhu didn’t insist further.
She just emphasized some important points of study to Shen Han.
Especially now that he has already reached the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm strength, he must steadily advance.
He should also utilize the Pill from the Piercing Mountain Sacred Bud well to enhance his cultivation.
After saying all this, Shi Yuezhu seemed to recall the conversation she had with Shen Han earlier.
"If... one day, you and Jinyu have to face each other, could you..."
She didn’t finish her sentence and stopped talking.
Thinking about it, perhaps she should first persuade her disciple.
If her disciple doesn’t hold back against Shen Han, asking Shen Han to hold back might harm him instead...
Feeling a bit conflicted, Shi Yuezhu eventually left the Shen Mansion.
With the family assessment over, the guard duty should have ended this time as well.
However, after stepping out of the Shen Mansion, feeling a bit uneasy, she quietly stayed behind.
She planned to escort Shen Han to the Capital City.
Once done, she really had to leave.
After all, Shi Yuezhu was a Peak Master of Xiaoyao Peak, with disciples under her and she also needed to cultivate.
She had many affairs to handle.
With the letter from Tianyi Academy in hand, Shen Han set out in the afternoon.
Back when Shen Ye went to Mountain Sea Academy to study, the Shen Family made a grand affair out of it, and the entire Yun’an City knew.
But today, as he set out to study, it was extremely quiet.
Walking out of the Shen Mansion, Shen Han looked back at the mansion behind him.
He had suffered so much unfair treatment at the hands of the Shen Family, even endangering his life.
Those grudges will be paid back to them.
The journey was smooth with Shi Yuezhu secretly protecting him, without encountering any trouble.
They traveled along the official road, where there were always people from the Imperial Court passing by.
Not rushing too quickly, it took over a day to reach the Capital City.
Anyang City.
Shen Lingsheng’s letter of dissolving the marriage had already been sent to the Yun Family.
When the Yun Family heard it was the Shen Family delivering a letter of dissolving the marriage, the person receiving it at the gate hurriedly ran into the courtyard.
Quickly informing Patriarch Yun and them.
Unexpectedly, Patriarch Yun calmly agreed.
He even pulled out a letter of dissolving the marriage that Madam Yun had prepared beforehand...
The Yun Family here didn’t even have the intention of meeting the envoy from the Shen Family, simply agreeing to the dissolution.
Madam Yun, being a woman from a respectable family, even though she wasn’t favored by the Old Dowager during her years at the Shen Mansion, there was nothing the Shen Mansion could hold against her.
Otherwise, it should have been a divorce letter instead of a letter of dissolving the marriage.
Dissolving the marriage was indeed more respectable for the Yun Family.
But in Great Wei, women who have dissolved marriages could easily attract gossip.
Especially since Madam Yun hadn’t cultivated the Martial Path, in such a societal climate in Great Wei, she was considered to be should teaching children at home.
Without a husband’s family, gossipers would surely point fingers.
But upon learning of her dissolving the marriage with Shen Lingsheng while staying at the Yun Mansion,
Madam Yun felt no sorrow or regret; instead, she felt fortunate and liberated.
She would no longer have to return to the oppressive Shen Mansion.
Outside the Yun Mansion, the envoy sent by the Shen Family looked utterly baffled.
Taking the letter of dissolving the marriage handed over by the Yun Family’s servant, he even felt it was somewhat unreal.
Before coming, he had already thought about what to say and even planned his expressions.
Without the Shen Family’s purchases of Pills, the Yun Family would surely struggle.
And now coming to break off the engagement, to sever all ties.
Considering the future of their family, the Yun Family would certainly plead with him, the envoy, at least offering some good words and benefits.
But this scene before him was completely baffling.
As an envoy, he didn’t even step through the gates of the Yun Mansion.
The servant went in to , and less than a quarter of an hour later, came out with a letter of dissolving the marriage to hand over to him.
It seemed...
The Yun Family had long been prepared for this and had been wanting to dissolve the marriage with the Shen Family.
With a mix of confusion and anger, the Shen Family envoy mounted his brown horse and headed east.
After being snubbed here, he would all of this back to Shen Lingsheng.
