Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 303 - 302: Did Shen Han Tell Master?

The letter clearly stated the injuries Shi Yuezhu had suffered, detailing the severity of her condition entirely.

After sustaining injuries to her Inner Mansion, Shi Yuezhu must now halt her cultivation.

She should also avoid using her Immortal Realm strength unless absolutely necessary.

Without suitable medicinal herbs, the recovery might take several years...

The effectiveness of the recovery is still an unknown factor.

After informing Shen Han of these details, Su Jinyu immediately explained the healing methods of the Xiaoyao Peak’s physician to Shen Han.

The most critical herb required, Cloud Rong Grass, was missing.

If this herb were available, the recovery from these injuries should be excellent.

Perhaps in about half a year, there would be hope for recovery.

The end of the letter also mentioned the growth location of Cloud Rong Grass, at the far south side of Great Wei.

After passing through Yexuan Country, one must continue south to reach that place.

Cloud Rong Grass is extremely fragile when it grows.

If the wind is slightly stronger or if any animal passes by, its stem can easily break.

Thus, this herb mostly grows in sheltered places.

Often, thorns grow around to prevent animals from running through.

All of this was detailed in the letter.

It even thoughtfully pointed out which book had records on it.

If one wishes to learn more, they can consult it.

After reading the entire letter, Shen Han casually placed it aside.

Shen Han was no fool; he couldn’t miss the intent behind Su Jinyu’s actions.

In the Book Collection Pavilion of Tianyi Academy, he had already studied the relevant texts.

The extreme south is a place where poisonous creatures abound.

It’s rarely inhabited, and even powerful individuals must tread cautiously.

Moreover, in recent years, nearly everyone who ventured there, except for Immortal Realm experts, has perished.

The Immortal Realm experts, upon returning, experienced a drastic decline in power...

Despite seeking famous doctors, the cause couldn’t be identified.

It can be said that seeking this Cloud Rong Grass might easily cost one’s life there.

Understanding this, it became clear why Su Jinyu would disclose this to him.

They were just waiting for him to go and lose his life there.

At this moment, Shen Han fully understood.

Why Shi Yuezhu wouldn’t let him examine her body, why she dodged mentioning her injuries.

Now everything was revealed.

To put it plainly, Shi Yuezhu didn’t want Shen Han to know these things.

Didn’t want Shen Han to risk his life in the poisonous southern land.

Logically speaking, if Shi Yuezhu didn’t want to tell him, she must have mentioned it to Su Jinyu.

While at Xiaoyao Peak, Su Jinyu stayed silent, yet after he left, sent a maid to deliver a letter informing him.

This was clearly targeted at him.

Was it her idea, or was it Shen Ye’s?

Shen Han naturally had a premonition in mind about this.

For him, this was an open conspiracy.

If he didn’t know, he might only worry.

But knowing about Cloud Rong Grass, it was hard for him to stay hidden in Great Wei.

He pushed open the door and took a stroll in the courtyard for a moment.

Carefully considering his response strategies in his mind.

Comparatively, going to that southern poisonous place, he had a natural advantage.

After all, he could identify entries, which things were poisonous, at least gaining some warnings.

Only before going, he needed to understand and prepare a lot.

Rushing there with only a vague impression of what Cloud Rong Grass looks like would be pushing himself into danger.

...

At Shen Ye’s courtyard in the Mountain Sea Academy.

After discussing these things with Su Jinyu the other day, he had been waiting for news.

In reality, this was just a small gamble.

Firstly, whether Su Jinyu would obey and tell Shen Han about Cloud Rong Grass.

Secondly, even if Shen Han heard, he might still be too concerned for his safety and not go search for Cloud Rong Grass.

If any problem arose, Shen Ye would lose the bet.

As night fell.

Finally, Shen Ye received a message from Su Jinyu.

The news about Cloud Rong Grass had been delivered to Tianyi Academy by her maid Qingcao.

Hearing this, Shen Ye also said some pleasant words.

But in Su Jinyu’s view, telling Shen Han about Cloud Rong Grass wouldn’t be useful.

At most, she could ask the Yun Family if they could purchase it.

She subconsciously felt Shen Han wouldn’t go to the Land of the Far South.

Knowing the current Shen Han.

He entered Fifth Grade First Snow Realm at nineteen.

Considering his talent in Sword Dao, he surpassed herself.

Would someone like that be willing to take such a risk?

Plus, going to the Land of the Far South can’t even be considered risky, it’s more akin to suicide.

Even if she told him these things, he should pretend not to know.

To Shen Ye, he wasn’t overly concerned.

This little gamble cost no significant resources.

Just had Su Jinyu deliver a message, with nothing to lose.

If Shen Han went south, he would fall in that poisonous land.

If not, there was still a reason to sow discord between him and Shi Yuezhu.

In the future, he could bring it up before Shi Yuezhu.

She was so protective of Shen Han, yet Shen Han, knowing her injuries and how she should heal, didn’t react at all.

No matter how Shi Yuezhu responded, she’d have a slight sense of discomfort.

Through this, Shi Yuezhu would feel disheartened, and stop favoring Shen Han as much.

From any angle, this time Shen Ye had profited immensely.

Moreover, Shen Ye presumed that after hearing about Cloud Rong Grass, Shen Han would most likely be inclined to seek it.

From the previous incident with the maid Cailing, one could see Shen Han’s temperament wasn’t cold enough.

Even worrying about a maid, with how Shi Yuezhu protected him multiple times.

Along with this life-saving favor, he probably couldn’t just ignore it.

If he could thereby get rid of Shen Han, it would be quite simple.

It would spare him further concern and worry.

In recent times, Shen Ye increasingly felt a loss of arrogance within himself.

The once insignificant Shen Han now required schemes to be eliminated...

However, it didn’t matter, as long as Shen Han perished.

Everything would improve, his arrogance would return, and his importance in the Shen Family would be restored.

A day passed, on Moon Bamboo Peak.

Just past noon.

Shi Yuezhu unusually walked into the courtyard.

At this time of day, she would usually continue resting.

"Jinyu, sit down and talk with your master.

Everyone else, go busy yourselves."

Upon hearing Shi Yuezhu’s words, the several attendants nodded, saluted, and then departed.

Left alone, Su Jinyu leaned slightly, wanting to move closer to Shi Yuezhu.

However, today, Shi Yuezhu shifted her position...

"Did you mention to Shen Han that your master requires Cloud Rong Grass for healing?"

The abrupt question caught Su Jinyu off guard.

"Did Shen Han tell you, Master..."

Su Jinyu’s tone weakened; she could sense her master was angry.
