Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 300 - 299: Meeting Shi Yuezhu

The person who was earlier storming in to question Shen Han and reproach Shen Han.

Now their expression still looked a bit unpleasant.

Perhaps in her heart, Su Jinyu still believed that Shen Ye taking action against Shen Han was understandable.

It was normal.

After all, Shen Han had always displeased Shen Ye, and harboring resentment, treating Shen Han this way was also within reason.

But Shen Han daring to strike back at Shen Ye, that would be an egregious crime.

It would be ruthless and unprincipled, ignoring family ties, a despicable act.

Su Jinyu indeed thought this way inside, but to say it out loud seemed to bring some slight sense of shame.

Seeing Su Jinyu remain silent, Shen Han did not let her go.

He stepped forward, slightly closer.

"Miss Su, with such righteous indignation earlier, why fall silent now?

What ignoring family ties, what ruthless temperament.

Isn’t it just a double standard in your heart?

Some things, when Shen Ye does them, are understandable.

When others do them, they’re heinous crimes.

Thankfully, the power to judge the world’s fairness doesn’t rest with you.

Otherwise, who knows how many unjust cases would arise under heaven."

With a round of reproach, Su Jinyu’s face turned a little red with anger, unable to come up with a retort.

"Does Miss Su have anything else to say?

If not, please don’t waste any more time.

I came here to visit the Moon Bamboo Peak Master, not to bicker with you!"

Su Jinyu, looking upset from the criticism, seemed like she wanted to retort, but before she could open her mouth, Shen Han continued.

"Miss Su, don’t think that Brother Shen Ye is so terribly wronged and treated unjustly.

The trouble Shen Ye has caused others probably outweighs the trouble he himself has suffered."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu seemed somewhat unable to endure it.

"In this world of survival of the fittest, they encountered difficulties simply because of their lack of strength.

How can this possibly be blamed on Brother Shen Ye?"

"You have a point, then Brother Shen Ye’s assassination attempt also can only be blamed on his lack of strength.

What else is there to say?"

Su Jinyu, fumed by this rebuttal, her chest heaving with anger.

Other men might find this scene somewhat ambiguous.

But to Shen Han, Su Jinyu was utterly annoying.

"Frankly speaking, Miss Su’s magnanimity is truly admirable.

Despite Shen Ye treating you like that, I didn’t expect Miss Su to be still so attached to him, always considering him in your heart.

With such magnanimity, even if Brother Shen Ye dragged down the entire Su Family, Miss Su probably wouldn’t be angry at him.

Forever keeping him in your heart, always thinking for his sake.

I just don’t know if my brother ever thought about you."

Every word and phrase was designed to strike at her heart.

Shen Han’s words about the Su Family and how Shen Ye treated her made Su Jinyu immensely uncomfortable.

She had already let go of many unpleasant things, but now, they were brought up again by Shen Han.

As she spoke, Su Jinyu lifted her gaze to look at Shen Han.

"I understand, since the new year passed, every step you take has been smoother and smoother.

You surpassed me, Su Jinyu, I admit, your skills are indeed stronger than mine.

However, in the Academy’s big competition, the only thing you defeated was one of Brother Shen Ye’s avatars.

I don’t understand why the elders always praise you.

But as far as I, Su Jinyu, see it, you will never surpass Brother Shen Ye.

Even if given time to catch up, the distance between the two of you will only grow wider."

Upon hearing this, Shen Han’s expression remained unchanged.

He didn’t care how Su Jinyu viewed him.

"Miss Su, there’s no need to say more, I’m here just to visit the Moon Bamboo Peak Master."

Seeing that Shen Han didn’t want to talk with her, Su Jinyu stopped bringing it up.

"Master is resting, now needing daily recovery and not convenient to see guests.

Master said she has received your regards, and will talk after she recovers."

Su Jinyu’s words carried a bit of coldness, replying.

"Is the Moon Bamboo Peak Master seriously injured?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Though trying hard to suppress it, Shen Han inadvertently showed a hint of concern.

Su Jinyu seemed slightly surprised upon hearing this question.

Shi Yuezhu had mentioned this to her in advance, even predicting the tone and feeling...

According to Shi Yuezhu’s arranged reply, Su Jinyu spoke again: "Master’s injuries are not severe, she just needs rest and recuperation.

Your disturbance is not good for Master."

Upon hearing this, Shen Han pondered for a moment and handed the gift from Dean Tianyi to Su Jinyu.

"This is a gift from Dean Tianyi, please pass it to the Moon Bamboo Peak Master."

After a brief hesitation, Shen Han looked at Su Jinyu again.

"Miss Su should know, I learned some medical skills in the Little Pool Secret Realm, could I..."

"No need, the physician from Xiaoyao Peak has already examined her.

The treatment has basically been decided."

Su Jinyu said a few words, then prepared to go back.

It seemed she mainly came out to talk about Shen Ye.

When it came to Shi Yuezhu, she instead dismissed herself with just a few words.

As he thought more, Shen Han felt increasingly off.

After a while, Shen Han sat directly in the courtyard.

"Please tell Miss Su and the Moon Bamboo Peak Master that Shen Han will wait here until I see the Moon Bamboo Peak Master in person after she recovers before leaving."

Hearing this, Su Jinyu was somewhat surprised.

She had heard that Shen Han was composed and always observing proper manners.

But today, it was clearly a show of stubbornness and foolishness.

"Suit yourself, wait if that’s what you wish."

Coldly leaving behind this remark, Su Jinyu walked into the courtyard house.

Seeing this, Shen Han was not annoyed.

He just sat there waiting patiently.

These courtyards were built on the mountaintop, and there was always some breeze around.

By now, it’s late autumn; as each breeze passed, it seemed to take away a large swath of fallen leaves.

Occasionally, some dry bamboo leaves fell on his shoulder, but Shen Han didn’t care, just sitting like this.

At 5:00 PM, as the sky dimmed slightly.

Shen Han looked up, not far away, Shi Yuezhu appeared before him, dressed neatly.

She usually didn’t wear makeup, but today, she applied a little.

She waved her hand, indicating the people around her to leave, to talk alone with Shen Han.

"Are your injuries serious?"

Shi Yuezhu walked to a stone bench nearby and sat down gently.

From her posture, she didn’t appear to be injured at all.

"It’s just some vitality depletion, nothing to be overly concerned about...

I’m just somewhat fatigued, and not for any other reason did I decline your visit."

Even without Shen Han voicing it, Shi Yuezhu had already guessed what was on his mind.

"In the Little Pool Secret Realm, I also learned some medical skills, can I have a look..."
