Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 333 - 332: I, Shen Han, Did Not Attack Him with Hidden Weapons

Chapter 333: Chapter 332: I, Shen Han, Did Not Attack Him with Hidden Weapons

There were still some hours before the competition began. Shen Han and the vice dean, along with others, were standing calmly at the edge.

Patiently waiting for the competition to begin.

Meanwhile, those young talents from Qi and Yan seemed to have heard something and walked toward Shen Han.

One of the women stepped a bit further in front of Shen Han.

She was dressed neatly, which suggested she practiced the Martial Arts Technique.

The woman’s expression was cold, and her gaze at Shen Han carried an involuntary tinge of disdain.

"Are you Shen Han?"

Her words were devoid of any courtesy.

Shen Han frowned slightly, glanced up briefly, but did not respond.

"I heard that you ambushed your elder brother with hidden weapons, making it difficult for him to participate in the grand competition. Is this true?"

There was a slightly interrogative tone in the woman’s speech.

Before Shen Han could respond, the vice dean interjected.

"Before questioning others, it’s best to declare your own name.

In your previous words, it seems you were referring to Shen Ye?

He and his master have been arrogant in Great Wei, offending countless people.

Being assassinated is quite normal for them."

Vice Dean Rong Shangping coldly replied.

This woman was not from Great Wei, and they most likely wouldn’t have much interaction in the future.

Rong Shangping naturally wasn’t courteous in his speech.

Hearing this, the woman straightened slightly.

"Yan Country, Zhu Mingxiang, at your service.

Are you Shen Ye’s cousin?"

Shen Han remained unaffected, and upon hearing her words, he replied simply, "I am Shen Han."

Upon hearing Shen Han’s reply, the woman asked again.

"Did Shen Ye’s injury occur because you ambushed your elder brother with hidden weapons, making it difficult for him to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Competition?"

She repeated the question, but the interrogative tone remained.

Shen Han slightly raised his head, looking at Zhu Mingxiang before him.

"I, Shen Han, did not ambush him with hidden weapons. Elder brother Shen Ye’s injury was because he and that master of his behaved improperly, provoking resentment and retaliation from others."

Zhu Mingxiang seemed not to listen to Shen Han’s explanation and continued speaking to herself.

"Four years ago, he defeated me.

Only then did I realize that there truly was someone both scholarly and martial in the world.

Moreover, he could seamlessly integrate a scholar’s skill with Martial Path.

These past four years of practice, I’ve awaited this moment countless times, wanting him to see my achievements over these four years.

It turns out he was trapped by a treacherous person..."

Zhu Mingxiang seemed to lament, lamenting for Shen Ye.

Having said that, Zhu Mingxiang turned to leave.

Before leaving, she threw out one last sentence: "Wei Country, unable to protect its own national talents, no wonder its national power is gradually declining. The Ten Nations Grand Competition, just wait to lose."

Her tone was extremely indifferent, as if her words were a final judgment.

After she turned and left, a man behind her, as if lining up, stepped forward.

"Qi Country, Nanfeng Lin, would also like to have a word with you."

The man held a long saber in one hand, with a slightly carefree air.

"Four years ago, Shen Ye’s combination of academic and martial skills indeed made me suffer a bit.

Your Wei Country, four years ago, mostly relied on him to save some face.

Now, in the Ten Nations Grand Competition, someone actually injured him.

I suppose your Wei Country has too many resources and just needs to give some away, right?"

Nanfeng Lin spoke with a slight condescending tone.

As if he were superior.

Beside him, Vice Dean Rong Shangping had long been unable to keep quiet.

"Our Great Wei’s affairs, what do they have to do with you, a person from Qi Country?

Do you need to come here and assert yourself?

What, are you exceedingly talented?"

Hearing this, Nanfeng Lin was not angry at all.

He still wore a slight smile.

"My abilities, Nanfeng Lin, are not great, but defeating all of you from Wei Country should be no problem at all.

I originally thought Shen Ye would come; it would have been interesting.

Unexpectedly, he wasn’t taken down by us from Qi or them from Yan.

Rather, your own people from Wei used some tricks to bring him down~

Speaking of which, people from other countries seemed to appreciate Shen Ye.

Yet you yourselves employ all kinds of schemes towards your own country’s talents.

Hahahaha, keep up the infighting; the worse Wei Country is, the happier I become~"

Nanfeng Lin spoke with satisfaction.

Not having fought, he personally believed he had some mutual respect with Shen Ye.

These words of his were to stand up for Shen Ye.

Both Nanfeng Lin and Zhu Mingxiang spoke loud enough for many nearby to hear clearly.

And some curious people even spread these words back to Great Wei, back to the Capital City.

For a while, various rumors were rampant.

Talents prized by people from other countries, yet overlooked by their own.

These emotionally stirring statements began spreading wildly in Great Wei.

Beside him, Rong Shangping softly comforted Shen Han, advising him not to pay too much heed.

Shen Han nodded; he was not really concerned.

Careless about what they were saying.

Shen Han did not dwell on the recent episode.

But the matter had already spread in the Capital City.

Many people even said this was the "inauspicious" proof of Shen Han.

The Shen Family in Yun’an City seized the golden opportunity to smear Shen Han relentlessly.

Throwing various criticisms and disparagements on Shen Han.

Spring had already come; surrounding plants had sprouted, and distant mountains were lush and full of life.

The red sun had already risen on the horizon.

7:00 AM had arrived, and the Ten Nations Grand Competition had officially started.

The struggles among the seven small countries were left to them, while others came to witness the clashes between Wei, Qi, and Yan.

Each age group from each country had two participants.

Between the three countries, there were a total of six participants.

Forming exactly three pairs for the competition.

The matchups would be determined by a best-of-three format to decide the final victory.

Each lost match results in losing one-twelfth of the resources.

The winners of the three pairs would then have another mixed competition.

Ultimately, only two would remain.

Of course, these two could be from different countries.

This time, the winner does not entail winning or losing resources.

But can step up to challenge the older age group; even if defeated, no resources are lost.

Back then, Shen Ye, even in the older age group, emerged victorious, gaining such fame.

Meanwhile, the first one from Great Wei to make a move was that disciple of the Qilian Sect, Si Xiaofeng.

He moved with a stride, channeling his energy, somewhat resembling a high-level master.

Opposite him was Peng Nannan from Qi Country.

It seems those who practice the Saber Technique are more carefree.

Peng Nannan walked casually into the competition arena with a long saber.
