Chapter 402: Chapter 401: But This Grain of Sand Fell Into My Eye
Passerby…
The sound of these two words brings a sense of loneliness over the heart.
Yan Yun looked up at Shen Han, opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
When comforting others to let go, it always sounds so easy.
But when it happens to you, you realize how difficult it truly is.
In the courtyard, watching the silent Yan Yun, Shen Han could only offer words of comfort.
“Now that you are the Sovereign of Jiuxiao, your heart should be focused on the affairs of the country, don’t waste your time on these matters.
As I just told you, a passerby like me is just a grain of sand.
You throw it into this yard, and you won’t see it anymore, there’s no need for such worry.”
No matter what Shen Han said, the trace of disappointment on Yan Yun’s face lingered.
She then lifted her face to look at Shen Han.
“But this grain of sand fell into my eye, even if I don’t think about it, don’t reflect on it, it still remains.
It pricks my eyeball, constantly reminding me…”
“Just prepare some clear water, and rub it out.”
Shen Han said this, and Yan Yun understood.
There is no possibility between her and Shen Han, perhaps he never thought of her.
Perhaps he did in fleeting moments, but she didn’t meet him earlier…
A man so loyal to his Heart Thought, of course, Yan Yun wanted to have him.
Yet fate didn’t allow her to meet him earlier, leaving only regret.
Thinking of this, Yan Yun stopped speaking, opened the gate and ran out by herself.
Lowering her head, not wanting others to see her expression.
Outside the yard, Wei Qun watched Yan Yun run off, shaking his head helplessly.
“When young, one shouldn’t meet someone too enchanting, or it might ruin a lifetime.”
With a sigh, Wei Qun entered the courtyard.
Seeing Shen Han, he handed over some items.
“Domain Master, the prepared items have been placed in the storage ring, check if you need anything else, and I will fetch it for you.”
Shen Han glanced over them: “It’s very complete, thank you, Senior Wei.
Besides, don’t refer to yourself as an old servant, I, Shen Han, truly cannot afford that.”
“It’s nothing, originally, I thought this collar would accompany me for life, I tried hundreds of methods, but couldn’t open it.
If it weren’t for the Domain Master’s arrival, I was afraid I’d have taken it to the grave.”
Seeing Wei Qun so obstinate, Shen Han stopped persuading him.
In three days, I should depart.
Yan Yun originally wanted to hold a banquet for Shen Han.
But Shen Han directly refused her.
It’s best if I leave silently, so my lingering influence lasts a bit longer.
Those who harbor disruptive intentions would then not dare to act recklessly.
At midnight three days later, Shen Han took off on his magical artifact, without letting anyone see him off.
In the Northern Mountain Domain, he spent almost four months.
Leaving this time, he hopes for a smooth path ahead.
He also hopes Yan Yun and the rest can govern the Jiuxiao Country well, with peace and prosperity.
Heading southward all the way.
Shen Han could actually see clearly.
In the Great Wei, the Land of the Far South, a place infested with poisons, the closer one is, the more desolate it is.
After all, who among the strong would live in a poisonous place, they would naturally choose to stay away from such poisons.
And the Divine Land would naturally avoid the toxic northern seas.
Why the Northern Mountain Domain is backward is understandable.
Shen Han journeyed south for about twenty or so two-hour periods, facing an expanse of mountain range.
According to the map given by Wei Qun, beyond the mountains lies the Divine Land.
The Northern Mountain Domain possibly refers to the region north of this mountain range.
Focusing intensely, he crosses the high mountains.
On the other side of the mountains, the scenery is utterly different.
Now it’s winter already, around the Jiuxiao Country the plants have begun to wither.
They will not regain life until spring next year.
Yet flipping over the mountain range, the scenery is completely different from the Northern Mountain Domain.
It seems this mountain range completely blocks the cold air, though it’s winter, this side still feels somewhat warm.
The overgrown plants seem oblivious to the season, still vibrant like in spring.
Crossing the peaks, Shen Han followed the map signs, moving southwest.
Each step proceeded according to the map.
In this unfamiliar land, running around recklessly might lead to trespassing into others’ domains.
Since it’s the first time here, caution is paramount.
There might be many hidden dangers here.
Before arrival, Shen Han perused much information about the Divine Land.
In this Divine Land, no vast countries exist.
The vast region isn’t governed as a national entity.
Here, large families and sects predominantly rule.
Big aristocratic families dominate regions, occupying resources.
And sects and families are intertwined, with continuous connections among them.
As for others, the surrounding villages and towns naturally depend on nearby sects.
Along the way, Shen Han passed a few cities.
Passing through, he found these cities similar to Yun’an City and Anyang City.
They are much more expansive and grand than the Jiuxiao Imperial City.
Passing by, Shen Han bought some books by the roadside bookstore.
Flipping through, he discovered they were generally similar to those he read in the Jiuxiao Country.
It goes without saying, the texts Wei Qun acquired.
Must have been sourced from places like these…
Understanding this in his heart, Shen Han began to harbor a trace of worry about the letter…
Not knowing if that letter was bought from some stall.
Regardless, he could only give it a try.
The Divine Land is immensely vast, he can’t just run to an unfamiliar sect saying he wants to join…
Others might think he’s causing trouble if unaware.
With a letter in hand, at least he somewhat had a reason to visit.
Rested in the city for a night.
The next day at 7:00 AM, Shen Han finally arrived at Cangxuan Valley.
Cangxuan Valley is named so as it’s surrounded by mountains, resembling a valley.
But Shen Han looked, he wasn’t near their valley, yet people were already stationed there.
The surroundings were also circled and belonged to Cangxuan Valley’s sphere of influence.
At the outer region of the sphere, it seemed quite a few people came to visit Cangxuan Valley.
Queue lined at the entrance, ready to enter the valley.
Shen Han frowned slightly, contemplated for a moment, and joined the queue.
“Senior Brother, this is the admission letter, may I…”
Before Shen Han could finish, the Senior Brother suddenly looked up.
He quickly took the letter from Shen Han.
After reading swiftly, the Senior Brother glanced at Shen Han with some helplessness.
“I thought these things were cleared out, didn’t expect anyone still using them to deceive…”
While speaking, those queuing around couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Must be from some remote place, right?”
“Obviously, who among the Divine Land would be deceived?”
Hearing them making sarcastic remarks, the Senior Brother waved his hand, signaling them not to mock.
“Since you plan to enter, you’ll be like brothers.
Please wait a moment here while I register with the others, then we’ll discuss further.”
