In the Rain Listening Pavilion, the raindrops on the eaves continued to patter gently.

Unless you loved the sound of rain, you might find it noisy.

Inside the small building in the courtyard, the maid Qingcao's words were heard.

Su Zhensheng pondered for a moment: "If Shen Han truly wishes to use this opportunity to marry Jinyu, then let it be.

Lately, at night, I've often been thinking.

If at that time the engagement wasn't canceled, and destiny brought them together instead.

Perhaps now, our Su Family would be doing well, and Jinyu, you would be living well..."

After expressing his sentiments, Su Zhensheng looked at his daughter one more time, then turned to leave the Rain Listening Pavilion.

In the past, whenever Su Jinyu heard Su Zhensheng speak in such a manner, she would invariably object.

In her retort, she would always praise Shen Ye well.

But today, Su Jinyu listened silently, without any opposition.

After making sure Su Zhensheng had walked far away, Qingcao then leaned close to Su Jinyu.

"Miss, lately you've been acting strange...

The master praised Shen Han so much, yet you didn't retort even once..."

Upon hearing Qingcao's words, Su Jinyu turned to look at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, slightly pursing her lips.

"I lost to him in a duel, and his strength indeed surpasses mine.

Father praises someone better than me, what right do I have to speak?

What's more, after this event, I am more convinced of my father's ability to see people..."

It should be said that Su Jinyu was left with no choice but to accept this outcome.

Before, besides her father, she hadn't heard much praise about Shen Han from others.

What she said made some sense.

But as Qingcao listened, she found it increasingly strange, feeling something was off.

"Miss, if you really are to marry, would you truly..."

Qingcao didn't finish her question, nor did Su Jinyu provide an answer.

Shen Ye, Shen Han...

In her heart, she still believed Shen Ye was much superior.

But if worst came to worst, having to submit to Shen Han was something she could contemplate as well...

...

Tianyi Academy.

The courtyard where Shen Han currently resides is on the southern side of the academy.

The courtyard is somewhat hard to find, behind a garden on one side.

The path is lined with clusters of flowers, and willow trees provide cover, giving the courtyard a serene appearance.

Truth be told, when he first moved in, Shen Han felt somewhat uneasy.

He always thought, how come all the academy students are treated differently from him.

But upon hearing Chai Haifu and others say, actually, the academy students have accepted it.

Everyone is living in a delusional world of fools.

This world, the survival of the fittest, is just such reality.

Everyone comes to the academy to study, merely to gain a little more skill to live a better life in the future days.

The world is this realistic, and the academy makes no pretense.

Students can understand that strong ability, good performance, naturally deserve rewards.

Living in better quarters, consuming superior pills.

These are also the motivations for everyone's cultivation improvement.

Over the past couple of days, Shen Han practiced the Unceasing Skill nightly to continue healing his injuries.

At least from now on, all the injuries that Luo Zuchen left him have been completely healed.

In his mind, Shen Han recalled the events of that day once more.

This Luo Zuchen should be the wildest person he has met apart from Shen Ao.

Shen Ao, with only an Eighth Grade power, no matter how wild and unruly, the damage he can cause is limited.

But this Luo Zuchen, his power has already stepped into the Immortal Realm.

Such a frenzied person poses too great a threat to him.

Leaning on the edge of the bed, Shen Han frowned, pondering countermeasures.

Luo Zuchen preached to others to follow rules but he himself is exceptionally unruly.

Furthermore, his concern for Shen Ye was so profound.

If a threat to Shen Ye emerged, he might stop at nothing to secretly attack Shen Han.

Faced with the Immortal Realm, can he withstand another assault?

This Luo Zuchen, a way to resolve this must be found.

On the fifth day after the duel, around 3:00 PM.

Shen Han was practicing cultivation in his room, only to hear Chai Haifu's voice outside, summoning him out for a visitor.

Hearing Chai Haifu say the visitor was the Fairy from Xiaoyao Peak.

The Fairy from Xiaoyao Peak...

Upon hearing this, Shen Han couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

Before the duel with Su Jinyu, Shen Han had already pondered in his heart.

Between himself and her apprentice, in their duel, she would probably come...

Calculating the time, it had been a while since they last met.

But in the end, she did not appear.

With a subtle curve at the corner of his mouth, he seemed to hold a small anticipation.

Together with Chai Haifu, they came to the small courtyard's entrance.

The woman before him was not the person he imagined.

However, upon seeing her, Shen Han was equally pleased.

This was the eldest sister from Xiaoyao Peak, Liu Xilan.

When he was at his lowest, it was thanks to Liu Xilan.

"Celestial Dao Sword Momentum," "Sunset Swordsmanship," Misty Sword Intent.

These cultivation techniques he still used were all thanks to Liu Xilan that he had the fortune to learn.

"Xilan Fairy."

Shen Han saluted Liu Xilan, inviting her into the courtyard to rest at once.

"Speak of it, we should only be apart for half a year.

Yet why do I feel as though it has been over ten years since I last saw you..."

Liu Xilan spoke with a gentle teasing smile on her face.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han could only humbly wave his hands.

"Thanks to the care of Xilan Fairy, I could reach this step.

Otherwise, when I was in the Shen Mansion, I might have ended up crippled."

Liu Xilan laughed lightly; she used to believe it, but now she trusted Shen Han's words less.

The Shen Han she helped at that time had only just stepped into the Eighth Grade Realm.

From Eighth Grade to Sixth Grade, how could such a short time be possible.

In Liu Xilan's view, the real situation should be as the rumors suggest.

Shen Han had always been concealing his strength.

But Liu Xilan did not expose him, following Shen Han into the courtyard.

The reception hall was luxurious, and Liu Xilan couldn't help but marvel at how Tianyi Academy truly valued Shen Han.

Once seated in the hall, some exquisite snacks were served on the table.

Liu Xilan gently pinched a piece to savor its taste.

"To be honest, I have come today because of the request of the sect."

Upon hearing this, Shen Han merely nodded.

"Xilan Fairy, if you wish to ask anything, please speak frankly.

If Shen Han knows, I will do my utmost to cooperate."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xilan smiled slightly and began asking about the details of the duel at that time.

Xiaoyao Peak is a Holy Land for Sword Cultivators to gather.

Su Jinyu's talent and strength, even among the younger generation of Xiaoyao Peak, are outstanding.

At Xiaoyao Peak, when dueling with the senior brothers and sisters beside her, she had never lost so decisively.

Liu Xilan also had duels with Su Jinyu.

Her junior sister, whose sword techniques are fierce, when her sword techniques are unleashed, they can be either continuous or heavily powerful.

It can be said that as long as Su Jinyu's Unyielding Sword Intent is revealed, almost none of her peers can defeat her.

But this time, Su Jinyu lost to Shen Han.

Moreover, when she lost, it seemed to have ceased instantly.
