Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 131 - 130: What Use Is Mere Handsome Looks?

Chapter 131: Chapter 130: What Use Is Mere Handsome Looks?
I don’t know if Qiu Shuyin deliberately wanted to talk more with me.
Shen Han felt that she led him in a big circle, like wandering around Tianyi Academy.
As they walked, Qiu Shuyin kept saying all sorts of odd things.
The underlying message was for Shen Han to cheer up and pursue Su Jinyu...
Persistently pestering and so on...
Facing these requests, Shen Han found some excuses to brush her off.
Finally, they arrived in front of a large compound, and the two stopped.
"Walk straight to the fourth courtyard, and that’s Mr. Dugu’s place, go find him yourself.
He has a somewhat peculiar temper, just bear with it a little."
Shen Han thanked Qiu Shuyin and then headed towards the courtyard.
Qiu Shuyin turned around to see a few fellow students smiling at her.
"Hehe, who would have thought, Shuyin has finally found a new love.
We really thought you’d be stuck on Shen Ye for life.
Not bad, not bad, that person is quite handsome, suits you~"
The group teased.
Hearing this, Qiu Shuyin pouted, "What nonsense, my other half should be a gifted genius, just being handsome is useless?
Unless he’s not only handsome but also more talented than Shen Ye, then maybe~"
The group rolled their eyes at Qiu Shuyin, thinking her fantasy was really too unrealistic.
A person like that probably doesn’t exist across the entire continent.
...
On the other side, Shen Han followed Qiu Shuyin’s instructions, walking towards the fourth courtyard.
Gently knocking on the courtyard door, a moment later, a somewhat shabby-looking middle-aged man came out.
"Looking for me?"
His tone wasn’t very polite.
"Mr. Dugu, junior Shen Han, a student who arrived at the academy today.
Here is my admission letter."
As he spoke, Shen Han handed over his letter, and Mr. Dugu snatched it away.
He kept frowning, seeming displeased to see Shen Han.
"Are you the one the guard said was coming to find me?"
"I saw that you hadn’t come for so long..."
"What, can’t wait a moment?
Can’t you arrive a little later and must disturb my peace?"
Dugu Tian’s words were quite arrogant.
As a tutor, he’s not responsible, yet speaks like this.
As he spoke, Dugu Tian returned inside his house.
A moment later, he threw a bag and a token magical artifact to Shen Han.
"All the precautions are clearly written in the booklet inside, if you don’t understand just read it yourself.
The quarter where you’re to stay is also clearly written, go settle in."
After speaking, the tutor turned back into his courtyard.
With a wave of his hand, he pushed Shen Han out of his courtyard and closed the door.
From Dugu Tian’s expression and words, Shen Han sensed contempt.
Is this the treatment on a first meeting?
Not wasting his thoughts on this Dugu Tian, Shen Han didn’t care how he was viewed.
Whether there’s a tutor or not doesn’t make much difference to him.
Coming to Tianyi Academy, he’s more seeking experience.
Talent and resources, he’s capable on his own, no need to rely on others.
Following the booklet’s guidance, Shen Han walked towards the northwest of Tianyi Academy, indeed, there were many courtyards settled there.
Considering Tianyi Academy has the Imperial Family’s background, its foundation might have taken many years to accumulate.
But the conditions inside the academy are naturally excellent.
Arriving at the destination, in front is a large courtyard, with several independent houses inside.
Using the token magical artifact to enter, his place should be the house on the left in the north.
The courtyard is surrounded, with a garden-like setting in the center.
A few chairs are placed, giving it an added sense of leisure.
Perhaps hearing the door open, fellow students from the surrounding houses walked out.
"Another brother in misfortune has come to join us..."
"Alas, fellow sufferers..."
The three came out, looking at Shen Han with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
Shen Han frowned slightly, "Why do my classmates say such things? Did I do something wrong?"
Hearing Shen Han’s words, they all waved their hands.
"You’ve met our tutor, right?"
"Mr. Dugu, these things you have, they’re from him."
One of them took a step forward and sighed.
"The four of us landing under Dugu Tian feels like we have the worst luck."
So it’s about Dugu Tian.
"Is this tutor really that bad?"
"Bad he is not, even in terms of teaching ability, he ranks among the top five at Tianyi Academy..."
The speaker sighed, continuing to explain.
"But in Dugu Tian’s eyes, he actually looks down on us Tianyi students.
In his heart, he longs to return to Mountain Sea Academy to teach those talented prodigies...
His mind isn’t on us at all..."
Shen Han frowned, "If so, why doesn’t he go to Mountain Sea Academy?"
"Well, it’s because Tianyi Academy offers better compensation...
A little over a year ago, while practicing his cultivation technique, Dugu Tian’s meridians became chaotic, and since then, he’s needed a pill daily.
Mountain Sea Academy couldn’t offer such excellent conditions, so he came to Tianyi Academy.
His body is here, but his heart is over there."
After one person finished, another promptly added.
"I heard that while at Mountain Sea Academy, he once guided Shen Ye.
He’s probably hoping to go back and continue being Shen Ye’s tutor.
Shen Ye is so impressive, a Shen Family prodigy, destined to enter the Immortal Realm as an unparalleled genius.
Being Shen Ye’s tutor and being remembered in history wouldn’t be difficult."
"Now, he probably just can’t get over it and takes out his resentment on us.
Always feeling we are inferior to Mountain Sea Academy and subtly belittling us in conversation.
Even if Mountain Sea Academy’s students are better than us, he shouldn’t act like this..."
The three seemed deeply resentful, their words critical of Dugu Tian.
Shen Han understood too.
Turns out this Mr. Dugu isn’t just dismissive of him, he looks down on all Tianyi Academy students.
After venting, the three seemed much more relaxed.
They invited Shen Han to taste some culinary delights in the city.
Unable to decline with their hospitality, Shen Han didn’t refuse.
The three classmates seemed easy to get along with, with their speech and demeanor.
Shen Han didn’t mind making some friends.
Leaving Tianyi Academy, they followed the road straight there from the gate, not far, it’s a gathering place for many restaurants and eateries.
Being new, Shen Han naturally didn’t know which eatery had the best dishes.
He sat down with them.
Not long after, the dishes were served.
He sampled a little, but the taste was indeed lacking...
Glancing at the dish labels, they indicated its flavor too.
[Bland Dish]
Seeing the labels, it’s obvious they weren’t tasty.
