Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 301 - 300: Occasionally Fallen Bamboo Leaves Resting on Shi Yuezhu’s Shoulders

Chapter 301: Chapter 300: Occasionally Fallen Bamboo Leaves Resting on Shi Yuezhu’s Shoulders

If it were in the past, Shi Yuezhu would not refuse.

But today, she was quite unusual, slightly shaking her head.

"The physicians of Xiaoyao Peak have thoroughly examined it. It’s just some blood and qi deficiency, nothing else..."

Shi Yuezhu’s demeanor remained as gentle as ever.

Her words elicited a calming effect.

In the past, Shen Han would usually agree to whatever Shi Yuezhu said.

But today, Shen Han was somewhat insistent.

"Could it be that you’re seriously injured and don’t want me to know..."

"How could it be... don’t overthink..."

Shi Yuezhu softly denied.

Shen Han was also well aware that if Shi Yuezhu didn’t want to let him examine her, he lacked the strength to force her.

Even if she were more seriously injured, he could hardly counter her gentle wave of her hand.

The two sat silently in the courtyard.

Occasionally, bamboo leaves fell around them, hanging on Shi Yuezhu’s shoulder.

Shen Han wanted to reach out and pluck them off for her, but she gently avoided him.

Seeing this, Shen Han was taken aback for a moment.

After a while, he spoke: "I heard from the dean that Luo Zuchen seems to have almost recovered. In at most a month and a half, he should be fully recovered..."

No longer dwelling on Shi Yuezhu’s injury.

Shen Han knew well that even if he mentioned it again, she wouldn’t respond to him.

Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu was somewhat surprised: "Did Dean Tianyi see it with his own eyes?"

"Some time ago, my elder brother Shen Ye was assassinated, and Luo Zuchen immediately came to protect him.

Many people saw him, and he had recovered impressively well.

Perhaps it won’t be long before he’s back to his peak state.

Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu’s delicate eyebrows furrowed more tightly, and her expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"How could he recover so quickly...

Even with divine medicine, it should take at least half a year of recuperation...

Shi Yuezhu was very puzzled. When she struck at that time, she clearly didn’t hold back.

She herself was injured this severely, and Luo Zuchen shouldn’t be doing well either...

How could it be possible for him to recover so quickly?

Shen Han also appeared serious and said, "I once talked to the dean. Luo Zuchen has always acted recklessly and unrestrained.

Having offended so many people, there would always be someone thinking of retaliating or ambushing him.

Yet, it seems that every time he’s injured, Luo Zuchen recovers at an extremely fast pace.

The last time the dean fought with him, despite the dean’s belief that his injuries weren’t light.

The dean thought it would take no less than three months for him to recover.

During these three months, he definitely wouldn’t have the ability to attack me.

But in actuality, just over a month later, he was back in form and ambushed me..."

These words made Shi Yuezhu understand the implication.

"No wonder, no wonder that Luo Zuchen always acts recklessly in his attacks.

Despite exposing his weaknesses, he didn’t seem to mind.

And he was also fond of burn-the-ship, mutually destructive tactics.

Now it seems he must be cultivating some mysterious Body Refining skill. The injuries others suffer might not even count as injuries in his eyes..."

Hearing Shi Yuezhu say this, Shen Han nodded as well.

"The dean speculates the same. Luo Zuchen’s body’s recovery ability is likely above average, even if the injury is severe, it will heal very quickly.

This might just be his capital for being so audacious."

"If even Dean Tianyi thinks so, then it should be the truth..."

A hint of discouragement unconsciously appeared on Shi Yuezhu’s face.

As a fellow Immortal Realm powerhouse, she thought her injuries would mean Luo Zuchen would be in no better state.

Yet facing the facts, her heart felt quite uncomfortable.

When they fought, Shi Yuezhu had thought it over carefully.

Finally, coming to the decision that if Luo Zuchen was acting so recklessly, why should she be afraid?

Injuries for both were nothing.

After Luo Zuchen was injured, recuperating for a year or so would give Shen Han a peaceful time to cultivate for a while.

But in reality, things were quite different from her expectations.

She ended up injured, while Luo Zuchen was unharmed...

"So, you intended mutual destruction with Luo Zuchen at that time.

The injuries must be severe..."

Shen Han’s gaze was intense, looking directly at Shi Yuezhu.

Being exposed gave Shi Yuezhu no clue how to argue further.

Her eyes dared not meet Shen Han’s gaze.

Hesitating, she finally said, "I was injured but it’s not serious.

The physicians at Xiaoyao Peak are no worse than you. I’ll recover after a period of rest..."

After speaking, Shi Yuezhu seemed to want to avoid something.

She waved her hand and returned alone to the Inner Courtyard, asking the attendants to see the guests off.

Seeing Shi Yuezhu walk inside, Shen Han didn’t want to leave and remained seated on the stone bench outside the courtyard.

After about a day, an attendant came to inform Shen Han.

Dean Tianyi had already finished talking and was ready to leave.

Glancing at the courtyard before him, Shen Han finally left.

Seeing Shen Han’s departing figure, Su Jinyu’s face furrowed deeper.

"Master, why didn’t you tell Shen Han about your injury?

You were injured protecting him, and with his good relations with the Yun Family, he can seek out some healing Pills for you."

Hearing this, Shi Yuezhu shook her head again.

"The Yun Family has indeed greatly improved their Medicine-Refining skills since the beginning of the year.

But where can they get supplies like Cloud Rong Grass...

The strong ones are not willing to take risks.

Those who dare to fight for their lives often lack some ability..."

"But..."

Shi Yuezhu gently patted Su Jinyu, her face still gentle.

"No buts, your master is not suffering from some terminal illness.

Without Cloud Rong Grass, it’s just a longer recovery, wasting some time.

Your master reached the Immortal Realm at such a young age. It’s just right to wait for others, let them catch up~"

Her words were carefree.

Yet Su Jinyu’s expression remained worried.

"According to the physician, the recovery might take three to five years or even longer...

Master, this time your injury affected the Inner Mansion..."

Su Jinyu wanted to continue, but Shi Yuezhu waved her off again, urging her to rest.

Back in her room, as Su Jinyu tossed and turned, her mind was restless.

For a moment, she took out the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact and contacted Shen Ye.

"As Brother Ye said, Shen Han came to visit Master today.

But Master didn’t tell Shen Han about the Cloud Rong Grass..."

After contemplating for a moment, Shen Ye conveyed through the magical artifact: "Jinyu, if you have the chance, can you convey this matter to Shen Han?"

Cloud Rong Grass grows in the poisonous southern regions.

Many people didn’t believe in the dangers before, thinking they were powerful.

Merely poisonous creatures, what’s there to fear?

These skeptics went to the south and brought back many precious plants and herbs.

According to these people, there was no unusual occurrence when gathering herbs in the south.

They never encountered any danger.

But upon returning, those with slightly weaker abilities died within a month.

There were reports of an Immortal Realm expert going there, whose strength and realm deteriorated rapidly.
