The new courtyard, just the part where Shen Han lived, was as large as the entire previous courtyard.

After this duel, everyone's attitude toward him at the academy had changed significantly.

While walking around the academy, whenever he encountered other classmates, they would courteously address him as Brother Shen.

During these days, Shen Han did not roam around idly; he was meditating in his courtyard.

After learning about his recovery, many people came to visit him.

At seven in the morning, General Su Zhensheng came with some gifts.

Now, he is a teacher at Tianyi Academy, and coming to find Shen Han, he certainly has some advantage.

After all, the grounds of Tianyi Academy could restrict others but could not restrict him as a teacher.

Walking into the courtyard, the newly relocated courtyard even had a separate reception hall.

Upon learning that Su Zhensheng came to visit, Shen Han hesitated for a moment and went to the hall to greet him.

"Mr. Su."

Seeing Su Zhensheng, Shen Han, as courteously as before, greeted him.

Now, many people say Shen Han is the new prodigy.

But in Su Zhensheng's eyes, Shen Han did not let these empty titles make him conceited in the least.

Such a junior, he truly longed for...

It's just a pity that no matter how good his vision was, it made no difference; he had already invited Shen Han into his home.

In the end, it turned out like this.

Su Zhensheng slowly sat down, and Shen Han gracefully poured tea for him.

Everything was done with the respect due to a teacher.

"Mr. Su came to see Shen Han, is there something you wish to discuss?"

Although Shen Han could see the reason at a glance, he still inquired as such.

Su Zhensheng looked a little troubled, but no matter what, Su Jinyu was his daughter.

"Young friend Shen Han, truth be told, our acquaintance is not deep, only a few dozen days.

Some requests are truly excessive.

It's just that my daughter, having been pampered since she was a child, I have occasionally scolded her, but I have still doted on her too much.

In her conduct, she always lacks forethought and regrets only after the fact.

The way she is, clumsy and unable to care for herself.

Let alone serve others..."

As Su Zhensheng spoke, he watched Shen Han's expression.

However, Shen Han's expression remained as indifferent as before, showing no change.

"Mr. Su, are you trying to say?"

Shen Han asked.

Originally intending to plead for his daughter, Su Zhensheng hesitated for a long while, but in the end, shook his head.

"It's nothing, nothing at all.

I came here just to bring you some supplements; you have a good relationship with the Yun Family, so you probably also have no shortage of these good medicines.

But this counts as a token of our Su Family's goodwill.

My wayward daughter has also troubled you..."

Having said that, Su Zhensheng did not linger any longer and left.

He already had a good impression of Shen Han a long time ago, and his judgment was indeed correct.

Shen Han is indeed excellent.

But this excellence seems unrelated to their Su Family now.

Watching Su Zhensheng's departing figure, Shen Han pondered for a moment, shaking his head somewhat helplessly.

After leaving Shen Han's courtyard, Su Zhensheng went directly to the Rain Listening Pavilion.

Two days have already passed.

Su Jinyu's condition has finally improved significantly.

Especially after hearing that her father was going to talk to Shen Han, Su Jinyu felt much more at ease.

Just after noon, seeing her father arriving, Su Jinyu's starry eyes carried some hope.

Her current predicament was also due to not listening to her father's words.

Seeing Su Zhensheng arrive, she merely lowered her head slightly, not speaking.

The maid Qingcao by the side, though hesitant to speak to Su Zhensheng, seeing her mistress like this, could only speak up.

"Master, did you go to see Shen Han?

The huge cost Miss promised, can it be canceled...

Even if sending some treasures, Miss should not have to suffer under his humiliation..."

Qingcao inquired carefully, afraid of saying something wrong and angering Su Zhensheng.

But today, Su Zhensheng was not in the mood to care about these things.

Upon hearing the maid Qingcao's words, he immediately shook his head.

"I went to Shen Han's courtyard.

That child still courteously performed the teacher's ceremony and poured me a pot of fine tea.

Seeing such demeanor, I really had no face to say anything."

Suddenly, Su Jinyu's face turned ugly.

However, Su Zhensheng did not care about these and spoke again.

"Confronted by these issues today, to put it harshly, it's all self-inflicted.

Tell me honestly, if you had won, would you have agreed to let Shen Han renege?

I suppose you would have followed through, forcing Shen Han to leave the Capital City, right?"

Su Jinyu lowered her head, starry eyes filling with mist once again.

Because of the Shen Han matter, she had been scolded countless times by Su Zhensheng...

Beside her, the maid Qingcao, seeing her young miss like this, hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"Master, are you truly willing to watch Miss become a servant...

Miss only lost one duel, she is still the hope of the Su Family.

You are Miss's father, how can you..."

Though Qingcao's words were accusing Su Zhensheng, her voice was so small that it was like a mosquito buzzing.

But Su Zhensheng, having practiced Martial Path for many years, naturally had good hearing.

Yet today, he was surprisingly not angry.

"Jinyu, ultimately, this matter is one you caused yourself.

No matter what, you should go see him in person.

Shen Han is very wise, extremely understanding of social situations, and has strategies in his mind.

But he has a trait, perhaps even he himself is unaware of."

At this point, Su Jinyu also raised her head to look at her father.

After this incident, Su Jinyu had gained a completely new understanding of her father's ability to judge people.

Now, she totally believed in her father's judgment.

"Everyone has their own unique traits.

Compared to Shen Ye, his cousin Shen Han has one major trait.

His heart is not ruthless enough."

Pausing for a moment, Su Zhensheng continued speaking.

"I have discussed the path of Military Strategy with Shen Han several times.

Strategy is deception.

The ways of military command are ever-changing, with endless cunning methods.

But Shen Han, though a young man just starting to learn about strategies, can see through all of these.

It shows he is not without means, just that many methods have not been used.

If he were truly ruthless, in this duel, you might have already fallen into an abyss."

Su Zhensheng was not joking, his many years of military command allowed him to see many things.

"Moreover, that child Shen Han doesn't like being served by others; he probably wouldn't want you, Jinyu, to become a servant.

Ease your mind a bit and go talk to Shen Han.

At the very least, put down your pride."

Rarely did Su Zhensheng counsel in such a gentle tone.

Hearing this, Su Jinyu could accept it more, nodding lightly.

The maid Qingcao beside her, however, softly added: "But what if Shen Han wants Miss to marry him, what then..."
