Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 498 - 494: Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House, Next Step—Immortal Realm
During their casual conversation, Shen Han brought up the topic of this training again.
“Today, we helped Snow Mountain House unlock this Secret Realm. We should have met their requirements.
So when can we go to their Forbidden Land for training and cultivation?”
Honestly, Shen Han was quite looking forward to it.
Especially after hearing that this training has already allowed many to step into the Immortal Realm.
For Shen Han, it was quite a temptation.
Calculating, it’s been almost a year since I arrived at this Divine Land.
Having vanished for so long, those who care about me must be extremely worried.
If I could step into the Immortal Realm, at least I would have the ability to protect myself.
It’s about time to return to Great Wei.
Go back to see the people I want to see.
Some grievances that need to be resolved should be settled sooner rather than later.
Sitting beside him, Fu Tianqi smiled at the question.
“Brother Shen, aren’t you being too impatient? It hasn’t even been twelve hours since we met their requirements, and you’re eager for training. Of course, we have to give Snow Mountain House some time to prepare.
Besides, there are only three of us here.
This time, we secured qualifications for five people.
We still need to confirm the other two slots and hand them over to Snow Mountain House before they can schedule the training time.
The Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House is not a place you can enter casually for training. It requires a lot of mineral resources to activate its effects.”
After Fu Tianqi finished explaining, Su Jinyu teased with a smile, “Are you in a hurry to return because you miss the Moon Bamboo Peak Master?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Han did not argue but openly admitted.
“It’s not just her; there are quite a few people I miss…”
In life, love is not the only emotion.
Family and friendship can also make one nostalgic and hopeful.
Shen Han’s response rendered Su Jinyu silent.
She also hadn’t seen her family for a long time…
And Qingcao, the maid, she wondered how she was doing…
Seeing this, Fu Tianqi noticed that both seemed a bit homesick.
He quickly started talking about something light-hearted.
The trek back to the Celestial Sword Sect was still some distance away, taking about two more days to reach.
Aside from occasional meditation and cultivation, the three would still gather for casual conversations.
Su Jinyu rather liked these chats.
Taking this opportunity, she could ask about many of her long-standing doubts.
“Shen Han, there’s another question you have to answer sincerely.
Sister Xilan, is there something between you and her…”
Hearing this question, Shen Han’s eyes suddenly widened. He waved his hands repeatedly and almost choked on his food.
“Don’t say such things and tarnish Fairy Xilan’s reputation…
There is absolutely nothing beyond friendship between me and Fairy Xilan.
Fairy Xilan has helped me so many times; I would be a beast if I were to taint her reputation.”
After hearing Shen Han’s response, Su Jinyu couldn’t help but purse her lips slightly.
“Then why does Sister Xilan help you so much, and so many times…”
“For no other reason than she couldn’t stand your past excesses…
You should have heard about how things were for me in the Shen Family.”
Shen Han didn’t continue. If he said more, Shen Ye’s name would come up again.
“Oh, I understand…”
Su Jinyu felt embarrassed to continue.
Thinking back to her past actions, she indeed went too far.
With these thoughts, Su Jinyu stood up solemnly and apologized.
“Reflecting on my past behavior, getting retribution should be expected…
It was clearly a court dispute, yet I tried to lay all the harm on you.
At that time, I was not only foolish but also malicious…”
Su Jinyu’s apology was very sincere.
Though, in her words, there was still a hint of concern.
“I know apologies are of no use.
A few words can’t make up for the tribulations you suffered before…
If there’s anything I can do, I wish to make amends…”
Upon hearing this, Shen Han only smiled.
He neither said he forgives nor that he doesn’t forgive.
Shen Han seemed somewhat conflicted, feeling granting forgiveness would create a lump in his heart…
The matters between the two were thus left unresolved.
The three occasionally chatted, occasionally cultivated.
Sitting on the Magical Artifact, they hurried back towards the Celestial Sword Sect, with time passing swiftly.
Two days passed, and the three finally arrived at the Celestial Sword Sect.
The exploration trip to Snow Mountain House, unexpectedly, should happen in about two months.
During these two months, Shen Han could seize the opportunity to participate in the mountain treasure hunt.
Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi, however, could only quietly cultivate within the sect.
After all, their qualifications were exchanged for exploring the Snow Mountain House Secret Realm.
Of course, for them, it was a dream come true.
The training in the Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House is far more valuable than the mountain treasure hunt.
The training there at Snow Mountain House’s Forbidden Land offers the chance to break through to the Loose Immortal Realm and step into the True Immortal Realm.
What kind of Treasure could compare to this opportunity?
Even Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures might be insufficient.
The three dismounted the Magical Artifact at the outer surroundings of the Celestial Sword Sect and walked towards the sect.
Hearing of Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi’s return today, many had already gathered to welcome them.
The Celestial Sword Sect is known for its strong sense of self-interest and doesn’t even bother to hide it.
Three days ago, when word spread that Shen Han and the others met Snow Mountain House’s requirements, it quickly spread across the entire Celestial Sword Sect.
Not only the Celestial Sword Sect, but probably other sects in the Inner Domain had heard of it too.
Including Shen Han, there were three in total.
So there were two additional slots for entering the Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House together.
This qualification should be decided by the high echelons of the Celestial Sword Sect.
However, since the merits were all due to Shen Han and his friends, their recommendation for those qualifications would certainly be valued.
That’s why so many came to greet them at the sect entrance.
Smiles adorned the faces of those looking at Fu Tianqi and Su Jinyu.
Some disciples who couldn’t hide their expressions looked a bit sycophantic, even fawning.
Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi seemed used to the flattery from fellow disciples and paid it little mind.
The three walked straight to Fu Tianqi’s courtyard.
Vice Sect Leader Yi Qi was already there waiting.
…
At Snow Mountain House.
Three days had passed since the Secret Realm exploration ended.
During these three days, Yao Wanning sat in her courtyard, her face always showing traces of worry.
No one knew what she was thinking.
The servants reported this to the elders, and Yao Wanning’s mother tried asking about the reason.
But after a lengthy conversation, Yao Wanning refused to disclose her reasons.
She merely said she was feeling down.
This situation led her mother to suspect something strange might be in the Secret Realm.
The news spread in Snow Mountain House, and many began coming up with ideas to resolve Yao Wanning’s melancholy.
Speculations varied, from emotional issues to poisoning…
No one could say for sure who was right.
The patriarch of Snow Mountain House, Yao Wanning’s great-grandfather, finally heard of this.
Yao Wanning’s willfulness was largely due to his doting.
Receiving this news, Patriarch Yao personally visited Yao Wanning’s small courtyard.
Seeing her great-grandfather come, Yao Wanning, feeling aggrieved, rushed into his arms.
Somehow, her eyes were brimming with tears.
