Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 312 - 311: Returning to Anyang City, Yun Mansion

Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Returning to Anyang City, Yun Mansion

After speaking, Uncle Yun noticed there were two others by his side.

"Who are these two?"

"Uncle, these are the Academy’s guards.

Thanks to them, I was safely escorted all the way to Anyang City."

Shen Han introduced with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Yun immediately took out two exquisite boxes.

He handed them to the two individuals.

"Thank you both for protecting our Young Master Han. Here is a small gift; please don’t find it too modest.

The day is getting late, so please stay and have a meal with us."

Unable to refuse Uncle Yun’s enthusiasm, the two eventually agreed.

On the way to Yun Mansion, the two secretly opened the boxes to take a look.

Inside was a high-grade pill...

It’s said the Yun Family is currently on the rise, and indeed they are generous.

Casually gifting a refined high-grade pill.

Walking ahead, Uncle Yun kept talking incessantly.

"My younger sister mentioned you during dinner last night.

She said you’re getting older, yet you still haven’t found your other half.

She’s quite worried..."

Shen Han smiled wryly: "Why is it that whenever we talk about me, it’s always about this...

After all, I’m still studying, and I should be given some time, to take things slowly..."

Hearing Shen Han’s explanation, Uncle Yun shrugged.

"What can we do? Right next door at the Yun Mansion is the Sun family.

They recently had a big, healthy baby boy, who often comes out to show off.

My sister probably just wants a baby to hold, to have a happier and more comfortable life."

Hearing this, Shen Han looked at his uncle.

"Why don’t you try to have another one, Uncle?"

...

Back at Yun Mansion, upon hearing Shen Han had returned, Madam Yun and Cailing came running to greet him.

Before Patriarch Yun could meet him, the two had already pulled him into a small courtyard.

"Han, at Tianyi Academy, do girls try to get close to you every day now?"

Madam Yun spoke, unsurprisingly bringing up these topics...

"Madam Yun, what are you talking about...

I’m studying at the Academy, why would anyone come near me for no reason..."

Shen Han answered somewhat helplessly, softly.

"Why wouldn’t they want to get close to you?

Our Han, at nineteen, has already reached Fifth Grade.

Fifth Grade, that’s Fifth Grade, how many young people in all of Great Wei can boast such strength?"

Madam Yun’s face was full of pride and satisfaction.

When mentioning "Fifth Grade," she couldn’t help but smile.

"But others wouldn’t approach me for no reason...

Madam Yun, think about it. When you were young, would you just approach a decent nobleman upon seeing him...

Not to mention, girls might be shy, and even gentlemen would not be so forward.

At most, they might just glance at me more, perhaps wanting to know how I cultivate..."

Shen Han explained helplessly.

There aren’t that many infatuated people willing to make the first move in this world.

People aren’t fools; you’re a genius, and it’s enough if they simply admire you.

"Alright, I thought you came back early because you were being pestered by girls at the Academy."

Madam Yun said as she moved some snacks closer to Shen Han.

"Honestly, since you reached Fifth Grade, everyone’s been benefiting from your success.

They all say we had foresight, that we were discerning, and recognized your talent early on~"

"That’s too much praise... I’m not that great..."

Upon hearing Shen Han’s modesty, Cailing chimed in.

"It’s not too much praise; Young Master Han’s talent and potential are truly strong.

What they say isn’t wrong, even though I don’t understand cultivation, I know Fifth Grade skill is amazing.

Uncle has practiced for years to reach Fifth Grade."

Hearing this, Madam Yun shook her head.

"Don’t compare him to your uncle, who took so many years to reach Fifth Grade; it’s embarrassing to speak of.

Compare him to Shen Ye instead.

In the Shen Family’s eyes, the over-praised descendant, isn’t he also just Fifth Grade~

Our Han might surpass him in just another half year."

The Fifth Grade Realm, among cultivators, isn’t low at all.

In Yun’an City, as well as Anyang City.

To be a tutor or Mansion Guardian, it’s more than enough.

Though in Great Wei, with its strong national power, cultivators are generally stronger than those of other countries.

Fifth Grade skill, in many small nations, would already be considered quite powerful and impressive.

From the First Snow Realm of Fifth Grade to the Half-Step Realm, in just half a year...

It’s such remarks, only someone like Madam Yun, who has never cultivated, could make.

How could it be so fast?

Were others to know, they would surely mock Madam Yun’s ignorance.

Yet for Shen Han, it might actually be possible.

To step from Fifth Grade to Fourth Grade Realm involves body refining, as preparation for entering the Immortal Realm.

This step is extremely difficult and arduous for many people.

The path of body refining is not something one can lay back and casually improve upon.

It’s truly a road of hard work and diligent practice that yields results.

When Shen Han first began his cultivation journey, he used the "Mountain and River Body Refining Skill," which solidified his foundation very well.

From this perspective, he would have a clear advantage during his Fifth Grade cultivation over others.

After Shen Han’s response, to prevent Madam Yun from further questioning, he spoke first.

"Madam Yun and Cailing, how have you been lately?"

Hearing Shen Han ask about her well-being, Madam Yun found a chair to sit down.

"Cailing and I, in this small place of Anyang City, live very peacefully and comfortably, without much upheaval.

Compared to the past at Shen Mansion, it’s certainly much better.

Moreover, with the Yun Family becoming more prosperous, as a daughter of the Yun Family, I feel quite happy."

Hearing Madam Yun express her happiness, Shen Han also felt a bit pleased.

A person lives not just for themselves, but to make those around them live comfortably and at ease.

If it weren’t for Madam Yun and Cailing, Shen Han didn’t know what his fate at Shen Mansion would have been.

Making their lives better brought value to everything he did.

"Han, nowadays the situation in the Capital City is complicated, with all sorts of things piling up together, it’s exhausting even to hear about.

Moreover, Luo Zuchen is lurking like a tiger, and even your grandfather has heard of his notorious name.

You’re better off in Anyang City than in the Capital."

Beside him, Cailing also joined in: "Yes, Young Master...

Anyang City is wonderful, just living peacefully like this isn’t so bad..."

Hearing their persuasion, Shen Han could only smile.

"As long as I pose a threat to them, even if I flee to the ends of the earth, they will come after me.

Hiding in Anyang City would only pass the burden onto my grandfather.

If I don’t strive to improve and grow, the ease and comfort I gain now will cost me in the future."

After Shen Han’s explanation, Madam Yun could only sigh.

She knew she couldn’t help much.

She could only close her mouth and avoid stirring up more trouble. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

With that in mind, Madam Yun stopped bringing up these topics and started to talk about the Shen Family.
