Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Qingcao took a while to come to her senses after hearing Su Jinyu's words.

"I really don't understand what the master is thinking. What's so great about Shen Han that he needs to be drawn in...

There are so many outstanding students in Mountain Sea Academy. Even if Young Master Ye casually picked out a talented individual from his side, they'd be much stronger than Shen Han."

The maid Qingcao pursed her lips, as if implying that Su Zhensheng had no insight.

Previously, Shen Han's attitude towards her was poor, leaving her resentful.

She was close to the young Shen Ao, who criticized Shen Han daily, which furthered her bias against him.

"The master is currently teaching at Tianyi Academy, and I've heard that Shen Han has also gone to Tianyi Academy.

Perhaps the master has been swayed by some misleading words..."

Su Jinyu lowered her head slightly, her eyes still carrying a touch of worry.

A breeze from the mountains swept by, lifting her dark hair to rest on her nose.

One must admit, Su Jinyu was truly beautiful, and with a touch of worry on her face, any nobleman would feel pained to see her that way.

"I don't know where Father heard that Shen Han is tactful, courteous, and calm...

He said Shen Han would be well-suited for court affairs, and the Su Family needs a young man like him."

At this point, Su Jinyu let out a sigh of helplessness.

"I don't know what kind of bewitching things he's said to father's ears to make him so praise him.

He even said Shen Han's ability to endure the Shen Family's targeting shows he's clever, adept at assessing the situation...

What assessing the situation! It's just that the Shen Family wasn't ruthless enough, giving him a way out."

Looking at the distant dark green mountains, Su Jinyu felt even more disgusted.

Having canceled the marriage engagement, why must I still be associated with him?

The maid Qingcao pouted, her little face full of worry.

"Miss, you must be careful with this matter.

Shen Han was never favored by the Shen Family, and you've already canceled the engagement with him.

If under such circumstances, you go to see him, and if people with ill intentions find out, it might lead to endless rumors.

If the Shen Family finds out, how will they perceive it...

And if Young Master Ye knows, what will he think..."

After Qingcao's words, Su Jinyu considered for a moment, her eyes filled with worry.

Indeed, acting this way, who knows what the Shen Family's higher-ups will think of me.

But with Shen Ye, Su Jinyu believed he would not misunderstand.

"Brother Ye is broad-minded, and he knows me well enough to understand that, given my discerning eye, I would never fancy Shen Han.

But if I get close to other young men, Brother Ye will surely feel a bit displeased."

Thinking of winning over Shen Han, Su Jinyu felt her every inch of her skin rejecting the notion.

"Master has always favored you, Miss. You should try to act spoiled in front of him a bit more."

"It might have worked before, but this time, I don't know why father is acting this way. When I barely express my unwillingness, he gets very upset...

Moreover, he keeps criticizing the Shen Family.

Teaching at Tianyi Academy this time, who knows how much misleading gossip he's been exposed to."

Looking down at the long sword in her hand, Su Jinyu felt a bit melancholic.

Her once doting father, how has he become like this...

"There are countless women in this world; can't he go bother someone else...

Why must he be like an annoying noise, constantly lingering around me..."

Hearing her young lady's complaint, the maid Qingcao couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well, it's because although there are many women in this world, where could you find another woman as beautiful and talented as you, Miss?

It's normal for a man to have some fancy for you, Miss."

"But he and I are destined to have no fate. Even if father forces it, it's absolutely impossible..."

...

Inside the Secret Realm.

After acquiring "Unceasing Skill," Shen Han had not left for days.

This Secret Realm was vast and sheltered from wind and rain.

It was incredibly quiet, making it ideal for solitary cultivation.

At this moment, Shen Han's consciousness was within the world constructed by the "Gen Mountain Secret Technique."

Joyful intention, no absence, Unceasing Skill, endless cycle.

The Celestial Dao Sword Momentum remained as powerful as ever, the Sword Shadow fierce, its presence alone exuding infinite intimidation.

Shen Han had comprehended Desperate Intent.

Faced with engaging a more formidable force, embracing death with open arms, body heading towards Desperate Intent, heart following Desperate Intent.

Raising a Sword Shadow in hand, he stood long in the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm.

His mastery over his own power was no longer as clumsy as before.

The long sword surged toward the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum, and suddenly, he was surrounded by the fierce Sword Shadow.

As the Sword Shadow pierced him, he countered with his own Sword Shadow.

Sword lights flickered, and the wind blowing around seemed to be severed.

Filled with sword light and Sword Shadow, it seemed there was only the sword light and Sword Shadow.

The sound of sword clash made the entire world feel incredibly noisy.

At that moment, Shen Han rushed towards the core area of the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum.

He was cut countless times, even a Sword Shadow pierced through his waist.

Unceasing Skill, endless cycle.

The searing pain of the wound was still there, but it started to heal as if applied with magical elixirs.

The Sword Shadow in hand protected the vital spot.

Desperate Intent, embracing death without fear.

With one sword stroke, the Sword Shadow penetrated the center of the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum.

Falling to the ground, Shen Han felt his entire body falling apart.

Intense, searing pain.

Though painful, it was only pain; his body could still heed his command.

With the sword as support, Shen Han found he could easily stand.

Embracing death with open arms, heart guided by Desperate Intent, body steered by Desperate Intent.

Yet endlessly alive, reborn out of crisis.

Is this what Desperate Intent truly is...

Even in dead ends, there lies a chance for rebirth.

With clarity of mind, Shen Han seemed to have grasped a line that could lead to higher peaks.

This might also be the first time he truly, in the real sense, overcame the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum.

As he looked up, the prior Sword Shadows had developed cracks.

In a swift moment, countless clear sounds resounded.

All the Sword Shadows shattered, yet one sharp sword light remained.

The light waves gathered, rippling outward with each undulation.

"Sword and Man Unity, all forces unbreakable..."

Shen Han's gaze seemed frozen as he stared dazedly at the scenes before him.

Is this Sword and Man Unity…

In an astonishment, light waves gathered to form, as a sword shadow glinting with red light fell in front of him.

The sword tip pierced into the earth, its body quivering, emitting waves of humming.

The intent was complete, the force unbroken.

In the vast world, Shen Han walked up to the red sword shadow.

Reaching out, he grasped the sword hilt, and the red on the sword shadow, like living blood, clung to his hand.

Sword and Man Unity, only today do I truly master the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum.

With a wave of his sword, he cleaved the sunset sky.

Both sword and intent were complete.

Stepping into the Sixth Grade Fruit Realm.
