Yun'an City.

After four days, the postal station finally delivered the letters.

Two letters sent by Shen Han, one was received by the Shen Mansion.

Such letters were usually opened and read by Madam Shen's maid, Cai Xue.

Then, at an appropriate time, she would read the contents of the letters to Madam Shen.

When she opened the letter and discovered it was from Shen Han, Cai Xue immediately ran towards the old lady's courtyard.

Having been by the old lady's side for many years, she naturally understood her concerns.

These days, Madam Shen's greatest worry was this.

If Shen Han truly did not return, even if she were to punish Cailing severely, what good would it do?

"Old Dowager, Old Dowager, Young Master Han has sent a letter."

In the ancestral hall, Madam Shen was offering incense to her ancestors.

Such a time should have been solemn and quiet, not to be disturbed.

Cai Xue understood this rule, but she knew that Madam Shen would be eager to hear the contents of the letter.

"A letter? What does it say? Is he coming back?"

Cai Xue supported her and helped Madam Shen sit properly on the grand chair.

"Old Dowager, Young Master Han says that he is still training outside, but will certainly return before the lunar month ends, so the family shouldn't worry."

As she spoke, Cai Xue also showed the original letter to Madam Shen.

Though unsure if what Shen Han said in the letter was true, at least there was a reply.

Madam Shen was most worried about Shen Han being missing.

Knowing he would return was better than nothing.

Her mood unconsciously improved; her appetite, which had been poor lately, seemed to return after reading the letter.

Upon receiving instructions, Cai Xue quickly arranged for someone to bring a bowl of meat porridge.

This was Madam Shen's favorite meat porridge, with tender and soft meat after cooking.

Mixed with rice porridge, it had a unique taste.

Meanwhile, Madam Yun also received a letter from Shen Han.

In it, Shen Han briefly recounted his experiences to Madam Yun.

Dangerous, but also rewarding.

As Madam Yun read the letter, cold sweat occasionally broke out on her body.

A traveler is in constant danger.

Upon reading that Shen Han was to return by the end of the month, a hint of worry reappeared on Madam Yun's face.

Su Hongyi from the Su Family was reportedly coming to visit the Shen Mansion.

Supposedly a visit, but in reality, it was to resolve the engagement between Shen Han and Su Jinyu.

This person bore supreme military merits; if he truly attacked Shen Han, what could be done...

Madam Yun believed that Shen Han would certainly improve his skills through this journey.

But no matter how much he improved, could he be a match for Su Hongyi?

Asking Shen Han not to return and fleeing the Shen Family, that child would surely be unwilling.

With his nature, how could he push Cailing into suffering?

The Shen Family using Cailing to threaten Shen Han seemed to have grasped a lifeline...

At the Shen Mansion, after receiving Shen Han's letter, the senior staff felt much more at ease.

Madam He immediately sought out a Sound Transmission Magical Artifact to send a message to her son Shen Ye.

The news of Shen Han's departure was strictly confidential to prevent any issues.

Now, knowing he would soon return, some arrangements needed to be made promptly.

...

Capital City of Great Wei.

Upon receiving the message from home, Shen Ye immediately set out for the Rain Listening Pavilion.

For these days, Shen Ye had been meditating intently.

He had a feeling he was on the verge of a deeper breakthrough.

If not for the message from home, he would have continued his retreat today.

"Brother Ye, why have you come?"

Seeing Shen Ye, Su Jinyu couldn't help but show a sweet smile.

She waved her hand, signaling her maid to prepare tea.

Shen Ye also wore a smile as he sat down in a tea chair.

"I came today because there are some matters I wish to inquire about."

"Brother Ye, please speak directly. Naturally, I will speak openly."

Shen Ye smiled and gestured for Su Jinyu not to be so serious, as if he was not here to accuse anyone.

"Jinyu, do you have a grudge with Senior Liu Xilan from Xiaoyao Peak?"

Hearing this question, Su Jinyu was slightly startled.

"Although I've had little interaction with Senior Xilan, she treated me well. During my first month at Xiaoyao Peak, she took care of me, and there was no grudge born.

Why does Brother Ye ask this?"

"There was a message from home that, at the beginning of last month, Shen Han suddenly went missing and left Yun'an City.

In the end, it turned out that Senior Liu Xilan helped him escape."

The troublesome engagement between Su Jinyu and Shen Han still existed.

Liu Xilan helping Shen Han escape from the Shen Mansion and Yun'an City.

No wonder Shen Ye would misunderstand, thinking she was opposing Su Jinyu.

"Senior Xilan is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. It must be that Shen Han said some nice things, acted pitifully, and begged Senior Xilan for help.

Please, Brother Ye, don't blame Senior Xilan. She surely meant no harm."

Su Jinyu spoke in defense of Liu Xilan, knowing her Senior Sister's genuinely good nature.

"It's alright, Shen Han has already sent a letter back and will return by the end of the month.

As long as he returns and breaks off this engagement before the wedding date, everything else doesn't matter."

Su Jinyu nodded, and her maid brought in a pot of good tea.

"Brother Ye, if you have time today, why not relax here for a few hours.

Let's not dwell on distressing matters and talk about joyful events instead?"

It's been almost a month since Shen Ye last visited the Rain Listening Pavilion, and Su Jinyu was eager to spend more time with him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye gently shook his head: "Lately, I've experienced many insights, and I need to meditate and study a bit more."

You have to prepare slightly for the Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering in Heyang at the end of the month.

Though the Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering may seem playful, successfully climbing a hundred layers of the Thousand-Autumn Steps is very beneficial."

Hearing this, Su Jinyu pursed her lips slightly: "Brother Ye hasn't even climbed over a hundred layers, how much further am I to go..."

Shen Ye offered some encouragement before leaving the Rain Listening Pavilion.

Watching Shen Ye leave, Su Jinyu's maid couldn't help but comment: "Miss, Young Master Ye seems to be advancing again."

Shen Ye's current prowess already ranks him among the top talents of the younger generation in Great Wei.

To advance further, such talent might only come from a deity descending to the mortal realm.

Gazing in the direction of Shen Ye's departure, Su Jinyu remained silent for a while.

"I must strive harder to follow Brother Ye's footsteps."

Su Jinyu felt a slight pressure in her heart.

With Shen Ye being so exceptional, she worried that in the near future, she might no longer be a match for him...

As she pondered, a maid responsible for welcoming guests entered.

"Miss, a messenger from Xiaoyao Peak has sent a message that Moon Bamboo Peak Master has returned to the sect and will come to visit you in two days.

Moon Bamboo Peak Master also brought you a gift."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu's starry eyes sparkled, and she showed a delighted expression.
