Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 535 - 531: Even If He Wants to Change His Heart, There Should Be an Order of Arrival
Yu You looked at Shen Han, the emotions in his eyes were quite complex.
The True Immortal Realm, Shen Han’s age when stepping into the True Immortal Realm, was indeed quite young.
“When I stepped into the True Immortal Realm, I was thirty-seven years old.
Even if you consider this achievement now, it is still considered exceptionally brilliant.
But in front of you, the difference really is too vast.”
The words of praise from Yu You came one after another, making even Shen Han feel a bit embarrassed.
As the two conversed, Fu Tianqi and the others finally tidied up.
They changed out of their dirty clothes, washed and tidied up a bit, and finally restored the image of young elites.
They gathered and came forward together.
Arriving in front of Yu You, they all greeted him.
Seeing the four of them, Yu You also smiled:
“How do you all feel?
Each of you looks vibrant and should have gained a lot as well.”
The four people before him no longer looked disheveled as before.
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, the disciples in this Forbidden Land have also gained some insights.
We didn’t waste a single bit inside the Forbidden Land.
Though there’s still some distance to the True Immortal Realm, the disciples feel that within three years, we should be able to cross the Loose Immortal Realm.
We have this confidence.”
Fu Tianqi wore a smile, satisfied with his gains.
Before entering the Forbidden Land, he had some misjudgments about the difficulty of the True Immortal Realm.
When he first calmed down to cultivate, he was like a headless fly, completely uncertain of how to proceed.
Gradually, Fu Tianqi found his direction.
He also understood the difficulty of stepping into the True Immortal Realm.
Yu You nodded in acknowledgment.
He then asked the others, providing some of his own suggestions based on their doubts.
Even Guan Xinyi received some advice.
After speaking with them, Yu You looked at Shen Han.
He hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not mention Shen Han’s entry into the True Immortal Realm to them.
“You should go rest now. Tonight, at Snow Mountain House, a banquet has been arranged.
After the banquet, we won’t linger and will return directly to the sect.”
Upon hearing this, they all nodded.
Each went to their own rooms to rest.
As they exited the courtyard, they all smiled at Shen Han.
In this training session, everyone gained something.
Back in his room, Shen Han didn’t rest or sleep.
In the latter half of his time in the Forbidden Land, he didn’t continue his intense cultivation.
Not feeling particularly fatigued, resting wasn’t necessary.
The banquet was arranged for 7:00 PM, and as the time approached, Shen Han and the others followed Senior Yu You to the banquet.
At a huge round table, a cluster of flowers was placed in the center.
The edge of the round table was already adorned with many exquisite dishes.
Seeing Yu You and the others arrive, those awaiting them all stood to greet them.
“Sect Leader Yu, please take the main seat. You young elites can sit next to Sect Leader Yu.”
Without any fuss, everyone took their seats.
Once seated, more dishes were brought out.
Next to them, the attendants from Snow Mountain House poured wine for everyone from behind.
Shen Han glanced at those seated. From Snow Mountain House, he had met Patriarch Yao and Yao Zhonggu before.
As for the other elders and high-level members of Snow Mountain House, he had no impression of them.
Besides the elders, among the younger generation, besides the three Snow Mountain House disciples who entered the Forbidden Land, there was also Yao Wanning.
“Come, let’s all have a drink to celebrate, this year’s exploration of the Forbidden Land has seen everyone return safely and smoothly.
This alone is worth celebrating.”
Shen Han and the others all raised their glasses in celebration.
No one would be tactless when offered a meal by someone else.
After the toast, Yao Xueru said a few polite words.
Once he finished, Yao Xueru then moved on to the main topic.
The main topic, naturally, was related to Shen Han.
“Shen Han, my young friend, after resting for several two-hour periods, do you feel more comfortable?”
“Thank you for your concern, Senior Yao. Cultivators often endure long periods of arduous training, so a bit of fatigue is of no matter.”
Shen Han bowed and expressed his gratitude, speaking politely.
“That’s good, that’s good.
Primarily, we at Snow Mountain House have never had anyone enter the 22nd Layer of the Forbidden Land over all these years.
We have no idea what it looks like inside, or if there are any dangers.
Young friend, please don’t mind this old man being talkative.”
Shen Han also smiled, saying: “Senior’s concern for me is something I could never resent.”
As Shen Han finished speaking, Yao Xueru continued along this topic.
“Now that we’ve mentioned it, this old man truly wants to ask.
What is the landscape like inside the 22nd Layer of the Forbidden Land?
Is there anything different inside?”
From the 13th Layer onwards, Shen Han had passed through the 15th, the 19th.
He finally reached the 22nd Layer.
Shen Han had experienced all the levels and knew what each one was about.
As Yao Xueru put forth the question, the eyes of the people from Snow Mountain House lit up.
All eyes fell on Shen Han, waiting for his answer.
Their purpose for being there was largely to uncover the mysteries of the 22nd Layer of the Forbidden Land.
After all, it’s their Forbidden Land at Snow Mountain House, and it would indeed be shameful if its own people didn’t know what lies within.
Upon hearing this, Shen Han glanced at Yu You, having no intention of hiding from the people of Snow Mountain House.
“To be honest, Senior, there isn’t much difference between the 22nd Layer of the Forbidden Land and the other layers.
It’s all just a scene of mountains and wilderness.
Aside from the suppressive force being a step higher, I really can’t tell any other difference.”
Shen Han’s words actually matched what the people of Snow Mountain House thought.
After all, from the 1st to the 20th Layer of the Forbidden Land, it’s all like this.
“If it’s just like this, then the 22nd Layer of the Forbidden Land doesn’t really hold that much attraction~”
Patriarch Yao said with a smile.
His words bore some sincerity.
Nowadays, Snow Mountain House can’t even enter the 21st Layer of the Forbidden Land.
As soon as someone enters, they’d immediately faint.
The Yao Family’s previous hope was relying on Yao Wanning to explore the highest layer of the Forbidden Land.
They wanted to see what it really looked like.
Unexpectedly, Shen Han managed to beat them to it.
“By the way, if you have time, Shen Han, why not stay at Snow Mountain House for a while longer?
My great-granddaughter is also quite accomplished in her training in the Forbidden Land.
When you explored the Secret Realm previously, you two had already met.
You had a small conflict, so take the opportunity to talk more.
As they say, people who don’t argue or fight don’t become acquainted.
Besides, both of you are of similar age.
My great-granddaughter should also be considered quite beautiful.
Spending more time together, if you end up together, it would be a fine tale.
In that case, the young generation can be tasked to manage Snow Mountain House.”
Yao Xueru spoke with a smile, quite straightforward with his words.
Beside him, the other elders of Snow Mountain House were all in agreement.
They said the two were well-matched, both being gifted, and it was a suitable match.
On the right side of the round table, Yao Wanning heard these words and made no attempt to refute them.
Her face carried a slight blush, and she slightly bowed her head, allowing everyone to speak as they wished.
“Sect Leader Yu, do you think these two are a good match?
If they marry, our two families would truly be like one.
In the future, if you have any requests, share them with us directly.”
Upon hearing this, Yu You did not immediately respond.
He glanced at Shen Han before speaking in a non-committal manner.
“Young people should make their own decisions about their matters.
I’m too old, and can’t quite comprehend the love affairs of the young.”
For Shen Han and Yao Wanning, Yu You neither supported nor opposed, maintaining a neutral stance.
Yao Xueru, hearing this, then looked at Fu Tianqi and his companions.
“Young friends, what do you think about this?
As peers of the same generation, do you find them compatible?”
Yao Xueru originally hoped they would speak favorably, but just as he finished speaking,
Jiang Ling’Er was quick to interject.
Her eyes carried a hint of resentment, seemingly quite displeased.
“In my view, Shen Han and Miss Yao are not suited at all.
During the Secret Realm exploration before, I heard Miss Yao was at odds with others, causing quite a few conflicts.
This kind of temper in a young lady, how many men can tolerate it?
If they really do get close, they’re bound to argue frequently with Shen Han.”
Jiang Ling’Er’s statement shocked everyone greatly.
To speak so openly was indeed…
Moreover, Jiang Ling’Er seemed not to have had her fill of speaking.
“Additionally, apart from this reason, you might not know.
Shen Han already has someone he admires deeply.
He is unwaveringly loyal to them.
Give up, your Miss Yao has no chance.
Besides, even if he wanted to change his heart, there should be an order to it.
I was here first…”
As she spoke, Jiang Ling’Er cast a resentful glance at Shen Han.
These words placed Shen Han in an awkward position, causing him great embarrassment.
Shen Han looked helpless, but what Jiang Ling’Er said wasn’t wrong.
“Young friend Shen Han, are her words true?”
Raising a cup of wine, Shen Han spoke.
“I’m grateful for the affection from all the seniors, but feel undeserving.
However, I do have someone I admire, and my heart belongs solely to them.
Fairy Wanning is a beauty, and she must have countless admirers.
I am but a mere mortal, unworthy of such ambition.”
Though he spoke courteously, his words clearly bore rejection.
Upon hearing this, the people of Snow Mountain House seemed to lose much of their earlier enthusiasm.
“Young friend Shen Han, may we ask which family this person you admire belongs to?
You seem so fond of them; do tell us who it is, so we may also see.”
Shen Han looked somewhat helpless, casting a glance at Yu You beside him.
Yu You naturally understood the plea for help in concluding the matter.
“Patriarch Yao, don’t inquire further. These young ones are shy, let these personal matters remain in their hearts.”
The feast that once felt harmonious seemed, from this point, to carry a hint of discomfort.
Though the people of Snow Mountain House remained polite, their warmth had considerably cooled.
