Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 257 - 256: Drive Him Out of the Capital City to Silence His Clamor

Chapter 257: Chapter 256: Drive Him Out of the Capital City to Silence His Clamor

Originally, Madam Yun and Cailing only planned to play for a day before returning to Anyang City.

But Shen Han heard that Shen Ye and Luo Zuchen had been confined by the academy, thinking it was a rare moment of freedom.

With guards arranged by the Yun Family around them, other minor troublemakers posed no real threat.

He pulled the two along and played for another day in the Capital City.

As the capital of Great Wei, the Capital City was indeed much more prosperous.

There were many strange trinkets and food with unique flavors.

Finally, at dawn on the second day, Madam Yun and Cailing got on a carriage, ready to return to Anyang.

After all, Shen Han was still studying, and cultivation remained his primary focus.

Before leaving, Madam Yun pulled Shen Han aside to give him instructions once more.

"Between you and Fairy Yuezhu, you should get closer sooner or later.

It won’t do for another two years to pass, and when I ask, you still say you’ve only held hands..."

Shen Han nodded repeatedly, answering, "Got it, got it..."

Hearing this response, Madam Yun pouted, glancing at Shen Han.

"Always just brushing me off.

Anyway, I’m giving you two years. If by then, you haven’t taken things further with Fairy Yuezhu,

I, your lady, will find a fairy for you to wed!"

After much coaxing, Madam Yun was finally sent off.

Shen Han felt a bit helpless.

Family always likes to rush marriage...

Returning to his own courtyard, having rested for a few days, Shen Han did not waste any more time.

He started studying alone in his house.

Currently, he had already stepped into the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm.

Fifth Grade means the mastery of intent.

Being able to step into Fifth Grade already showed that he could comprehend profound intent.

This intention would guide cultivators to break into the Immortal Realm.

And stepping from Fifth to Fourth Grade is no longer about insights into intention and Dao.

This step is about tempering the body.

Third Grade Immortal Realm is a qualitative leap, a comprehensive growth.

Only by entering Fourth Grade, tempering the body, and surpassing ordinary people,

can one be qualified to challenge the Third Grade Immortal Realm.

Shen Han attempted to cultivate in the consciousness space of the Gen Mountain Secret Technique.

But no matter how it was said, this was ultimately a space of consciousness, so how could it temper one’s body... 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

It seems that to rise from Fifth to Fourth Grade, more arduous cultivation and training are needed.

Since cultivating between consciousness spaces was not very effective, Shen Han did not dwell on it.

In the Path of Array, there was still much he could explore.

Currently, he was only more proficient in the Array of Delay.

In actual combat, the Array of Delay indeed showcased its powerful effects.

Taking advantage of the current moment, Shen Han began to deeply study other arrays.

In his mind, he actually remembered the array diagrams clearly.

The effects of arrays are varied and numerous.

Delay, dizziness, binding, exhaustion, barrier, illusion...

Aside from these, there were still the most mysterious types of arrays.

Just like the Immortal Extinction Array, arrays that altered the rules and laws.

Shen Han had already finished reading the illustrations, and naturally, he didn’t have such powerful arrays readily available.

After contemplating for a while, Shen Han started studying this Array of Dizziness.

The effect of this array was to disturb others’ mindsets, causing dizziness and vertigo.

But after some research, Shen Han found something amiss.

Compared to the versatility of the Delayed Array, the Array of Dizziness only worked on living beings.

As such, it was not as practical as the Delayed Array.

The Delayed Array could at least provide some defensive use.

Having figured this out, Shen Han chose instead to study the binding and barrier arrays from the various types.

While in the midst of practicing, Dean Tianyi also came to inquire about Shen Han’s cultivation plans.

If Shen Han had no plan set, the academy would arrange one for him.

The attitude of Tianyi Students towards Shen Han was also starting to change.

Due to Luo Zuchen, many had previously dared not get too close to Shen Han.

Fearing they’d bring trouble upon themselves.

Yet gradually, some people’s courage grew.

Especially after hearing that Luo Zuchen was confined for three months, they became even more casual.

Among personally taught students, many no longer feared getting closer to Shen Han.

But things weren’t the same as before; they wanted to get close, but it wasn’t that easy.

The opportunity to train and travel with Shen Han wasn’t something one could have just because they wanted it.

At noon, after having some food, Shen Han continued his training and research on arrays.

After a short while, Chai Haifu came running, frowning, and knocked on Shen Han’s door.

"Brother Shen, just now the academy guards came with a message that your Second Uncle from the Shen Family is here to see you...

The guards wouldn’t let him into the academy, and there was some conflict..."

Hearing this, Shen Han frowned slightly.

Shen Family’s Second Uncle, Shen Lingyong.

As for this Second Uncle, the number of times he’d seen him could be counted on ten fingers.

Thinking carefully, he’d spoken even less with this Second Uncle.

One memorable occasion was when he scolded him, saying he was sitting in the wrong place.

That he should sit at the very back corner.

With little impression and particularly annoying, Shen Han had no interest in seeing him.

"Brother Chai, please let him know I’m out training and it’s uncertain when I’ll return."

Chai Haifu nodded and quickly ran off.

Shen Han frowned slightly, he truly didn’t want to see such an unpleasant person.

Besides, the Shen Family coming to find him now surely wasn’t for anything good; there was no need to meet.

After about an hour, Chai Haifu again came back running, frowning, and knocked lightly on Shen Han’s door.

"Brother Shen, your Second Uncle is somewhat persistent...

He was told you’re not at the academy, yet he still caused a scene at the gate, saying he wanted to wait inside the academy for you.

The guards tangled with him for almost half an hour before he finally left.

Before leaving, he said after you come back, go find him at Donglin Tavern.

If you don’t go in a day, he’ll cause a scene at the academy gate every day..."

Shen Han frowned; judging from this attitude, it was clear he came looking for trouble.

Shen Lingyong, what did he want to do?

The night passed, and at noon the next day, Shen Lingyong indeed came again.

He made a big fuss and even smashed a stone sculpture at the entrance of Tianyi Academy.

He threatened that if Shen Han didn’t come back, he’d cause even more trouble next time.

This matter quickly reached Dean Tianyi.

"Shen Han, your Second Uncle from the Shen Family...?"

Dean Tianyi didn’t finish his sentence, looking at Shen Han, waiting for his response.

After contemplating for a while, Shen Han spoke: "This Second Uncle of mine from the Shen Family is likely here to cause trouble again.

Perhaps because I surpassed Shen Ye, he couldn’t bear it and wants to vent his anger here."

Hearing this, Dean Tianyi snorted coldly: "This isn’t his Eastern Garrison, how can he act so freely.

Let me drive him out of the Capital City to avoid the noise."

Hearing Dean Tianyi’s words, Shen Han shook his head.

"Doing so would just leave room for criticism, and cause you more troublesome matters.

I’d better go see for myself what exactly this Second Uncle intends to do."
