Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 297 - 296: A Gentle Breeze Brings Liu Xilan

Chapter 297: Chapter 296: A Gentle Breeze Brings Liu Xilan

The match between myself and Su Jinyu, indeed, drew many Sword Dao practitioners to watch.

"Nowadays, in Great Wei, everyone says you’re the newly emerged pride of the Sword Dao.

With the pride of the Sword Dao gracing Xiaoyao Peak, we lowly ones should come and pay our respects."

The few people in front of me, their tone sounded polite.

Yet within their words, the mockery was quite obvious.

Su Jinyu is, after all, a disciple of Xiaoyao Peak.

Having defeated her, perhaps Xiaoyao Peak lost some face.

"Friends, you’re joking. The title of pride, I’m truly unworthy of.

The people of the capital have exaggerated.

Today, I’ve come to visit Peak Master Shi of Moon Bamboo Peak, and I ask for your indulgence."

Shen Han did not wish to create a conflict with these people; he had matters to attend to today.

He didn’t want to waste time here.

However, these people seemed somewhat unreasonable.

"For the pride of the Sword Dao, a bit of arrogance is normal, considering we nobodies can only be ignored."

Their faces were still full of mockery and ridicule, as before.

"We aren’t trying to make things difficult for you; we just want to invite you to try our Xiaoyao Peak’s Heart Inquiry Stone.

Let’s see what level of Sword Dao you possess as the newly emerged pride, and how your temperament is."

Shen Han’s expression was solemn, his brows furrowed.

This stopping of him was clearly a provocative act.

"Friends, are you intentionally forcing me?

Is this how Xiaoyao Peak treats its guests?"

Shen Han restrained himself as much as possible, mindful that Shi Yuezhu was the Peak Master of Xiaoyao Peak, trying not to engage in direct conflict.

But these people in front of him seemed intent.

Their faces were filled with unrestrained expressions.

Yet in a moment, the three’s expressions changed instantly, and they immediately bowed their heads, seemingly in an apologetic manner.

A young man in white stepped on a flying sword and landed beside him.

"Senior Brother Ye..."

"Senior Brother Ye..."

...

The group respectfully addressed him, even with a hint of fear in their voice.

"What was just happening? Was there some dispute?"

The speaker was this Senior Brother Ye, Ye Tianxing, the talented disciple of Xiaoyao Peak.

On Xiaoyao Peak, Ye Tianxing was not only extraordinarily gifted, with high Sword Dao cultivation,

but also a Law Enforcement Disciple among the younger generation, causing many disciples to be afraid of him.

"Senior Brother Ye, you misunderstand. We were just asking some questions..."

"Asking questions?

Judging by the attire, this friend is neither our Xiaoyao Peak disciple nor a senior or elder.

Were you not making things difficult for someone?"

This Ye Tianxing seemed quite fair.

"Senior Brother Ye, please judge wisely. We really weren’t making things difficult for Brother Shen.

This Brother Shen is now the newly emerged pride of the Sword Dao in Great Wei.

He even overshadowed Junior Sister Jinyu, and such talent in Sword Dao made us merely curious.

We just wanted to invite him to the Heart Inquiry Stone to see how the heart of a pride appears..."

The group spoke softly, seemingly aware that their actions were not quite appropriate.

In any case, Shen Han was there as a guest.

Visiting Xiaoyao Peak wasn’t easy.

Those who could come were generally invited by the high ranks of Xiaoyao Peak.

After saying this, they were ready to face punishment.

Yet, the next moment, Ye Tianxing spoke again.

"Are you Shen Han?"

Shen Han bowed in salute to Ye Tianxing to show respect.

He originally thought Ye Tianxing was helping solve his troubles, but Ye Tianxing spoke again: "It’s just inviting you to try the Heart Inquiry Stone. That request isn’t too much."

Upon hearing this, not only Shen Han but also the people beside him were taken aback.

Shouldn’t he be punishing them...

Shen Han furrowed his brows and looked up at Ye Tianxing.

At this moment, his gaze carried a trace of disgust.

"Brother Ye, I’ve come to visit Peak Master Shi of Moon Bamboo Peak.

Not to try the Heart Inquiry Stone."

Shen Han’s answer carried a firmer tone.

With those words, Shen Han no longer wished to engage with them.

He prepared to head directly to Moon Bamboo Peak. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But as he took a step, a long sword descended from the sky, blocking his path.

"I’m a step away from entering the Fourth Grade,

If you have confidence in your Fifth Grade First Snow Realm strength, you can try getting past me.

This would also prove your title as a pride is indeed true."

This statement was already somewhat coercive.

"At most, it will waste half an hour of your time, and allow us to see the heart behind someone who surpassed Junior Sister Jinyu.

Whether it deserves the name of pride in the Sword Dao."

The words bore no hints of politeness.

Shen Han furrowed his brow, looking at Ye Tianxing in front of him.

"This is our first meeting, Brother Ye, but it seems you hold some resentment towards me?"

"It’s not resentment; there’s no interest conflict between us to have resentment.

I, Ye Tianxing, purely dislike you. Seeing you makes me feel uneasy.

So, do you understand?"

Ye Tianxing’s words were brutally direct.

The people beside were stunned by this statement.

Saying you dislike someone so openly in front of others...

"Since Brother Ye finds me annoying, why should I linger here to be a nuisance?

I’ve come just to visit Peak Master Shi."

With those words, Shen Han avoided the long sword in front of him, preparing to leave.

"You’re not allowed to leave."

Ye Tianxing seemed intent on making things difficult today, speaking again to stop Shen Han.

But not far away, Liu Xilan came on her sword.

Seeing Liu Xilan arrive, Ye Tianxing pursed his lips in slight annoyance.

"Senior Sister..."

When they saw Liu Xilan, regardless of their thoughts, they could only greet softly.

"This Junior Brother, please lead the way and take Shen Han to Moon Bamboo Peak.

He is, after all, a guest invited by our Xiaoyao Peak and must not be neglected."

As she spoke, Liu Xilan slightly turned and looked at Shen Han beside her.

Her brows and eyes were still so graceful, the mountain breeze lifting her hair and the edge of her clothes.

This sight made her seem more like a dazzling Female Sword Immortal.

"Thank you, Fairy Liu..."

It seems whenever I’m in trouble, Liu Xilan always comes to help.

I’ve probably owed her many favors.

"No worries, just go on.

If there’s time, you might visit the Heart Inquiry Stone.

Reflecting on your Sword Heart may be beneficial for future cultivation."

Liu Xilan smiled, waving her hand to urge Shen Han to go.

After he left, Liu Xilan turned her gaze towards Ye Tianxing and the others.

"Junior Brother Ye, why are you acting this way today?"

"No reason, I just dislike him. Seeing him makes me uncomfortable."

In front of Liu Xilan, Ye Tianxing still spoke directly.

"Shen Han is a good person. You’ve just met him by chance, and he hasn’t wronged you...

Why this hostility, Junior Brother Ye..."

Liu Xilan furrowed her brow, feeling somewhat helpless.
