After Shen Lingsheng left the Yun Mansion, he immediately had the Shen Family Army send a letter to the Yun Family.

Although the content of the letter was not explicit, its intention was very clear.

It was to have Shen Han return to the Shen Mansion and cooperate with the Shen Family in breaking off the engagement.

Otherwise, the Pills from the Yun Family would no longer be purchased by the Shen Family Army.

On the tenth.

Shen Lingsheng waited for two days at the eastern military camp, yet he still did not receive any news of Shen Han breaking off the engagement.

The letter had been sent to the Yun Family, but not even a reply was received.

He originally thought that the Yun Family would surely show more respect to the Shen Family since they relied on them to purchase Pills.

But seeing it today, it seemed that the Yun Family did not take the Shen Family seriously.

This left Shen Lingsheng somewhat puzzled.

He didn't understand, could it be that the Yun Family was really willing to offend the Shen Family for Shen Han?

Just because he reached the eightieth level at the Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering doesn't mean Shen Han will necessarily become a powerful figure in the future.

It could only be said that he was considered outstanding.

What exactly was the Yun Family thinking, going to such lengths for a junior with whom they had no blood ties...

Shen Lingsheng couldn't figure it out. All he could do now was continue to use the purchase of Pills as leverage.

Now that Shen Han had moved into the Yun Mansion, he certainly couldn't lead soldiers to storm the Yun Mansion.

Such a rebel act would likely drag the entire Shen Family to ruin; Shen Lingsheng wouldn't do something so foolish.

Shen Qingshan had urged him several times, but now, Shen Lingsheng truly had no good solution.

Yun Mansion.

Five days remain until the wedding date.

Shen Han was originally practicing in his own courtyard when Madam Yun and Cailing came carrying some small pastries.

In these days since Madam Yun returned to live at the Yun Mansion,

her complexion had improved a lot.

Indeed, one's mood can have a huge impact on their physical health.

"Come, try the new pastry that Cailing and I created~"

Both had smiles on their faces. Judging by their expressions, they wanted Shen Han to be the first to try them.

Sitting at the table.

The pastries in front of him were covered with a green crust.

They appeared to be filled with some stuffing.

Shen Han hesitated briefly before picking up a piece and taking a bite.

The flavor had a hint of vegetable sweetness, mixed into the dough, combining sweetness with a chewy texture.

"Is there vegetable juice mixed inside?

Not bad, the taste is light, yet it's just right, unlike other pastries that tend to be cloying.

Did Cailing make this?

Your skills have improved~"

Shen Han praised with a smile.

Upon hearing this, smiles spread across the faces of Madam Yun and Cailing.

The pastry was a result of their collaboration and experimentation, and the flavor finally turned out right.

"If you like it, eat it all. After all, practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy."

They pushed a plate of pastries toward Shen Han and sat beside him, watching him eat.

After a while, Madam Yun looked at Shen Han somewhat teasingly.

"Han~ I heard from your brother, that day at the Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering, you reached the eightieth level.

The test on the eightieth level is said to be the emotional trial~

When trapped in the emotional trial, who were you thinking of?"

Madam Yun leaned closer as she spoke, a teasing smile deepening on her face.

Cailing, standing behind Madam Yun, was just as curious.

Her face was full of curiosity, her ears perked up, eager to catch the gossip.

As they say, gossip is the fourth biggest instinct of humans; who wouldn't want to hear it?

When asked this question, Shen Han, who was busy eating pastries, froze for a moment...

The figure of Shi Yuezhu appeared in his mind.

His thoughts seemed to drift to that mountain forest...

But these were merely daydreams.

By now, she might have already stepped into the Third Grade Immortal Realm, with a tremendous disparity in status and standing...

Seeing Shen Han lost in thought, Madam Yun and Cailing became even more curious.

"Han, when in that emotional trial, who was on your mind....

Was it Liu Xilan or Su Jinyu?"

Madam Yun tried to guess, as she knew the two beautiful women who had some connection to Shen Han.

Liu Xilan was needless to say, she had helped Shen Han several times, beautiful and kind, and was the senior sister of Xiaoyao Peak~

Madam Yun thought she was the most likely.

As for Su Jinyu, it could also be her.

After all, there was still an engagement between her and Shen Han, but this engagement was fraught with difficulties.

In the hearts of many men, the more unattainable something is, the more they desire it.

Madam Yun looked at Shen Han with immense curiosity, waiting for an answer.

It took quite a while before Shen Han finally shook his head, "It's neither of them..."

He was telling the truth, but Madam Yun and Cailing didn't believe it.

"If it's not them, then who is it..."

Both stared at Shen Han intently, as if refusing to give up, insisting not to let him go until he confessed.

There was a helpless look on Shen Han's face; how could he reveal such things?

"It's Fairy Liu, right~

Fairy Liu is both beautiful and kind. If she could be my daughter-in-law, I would definitely treat her well.

Unlike the Old Dowager, so strict and unreasonable."

Mentioning the Old Dowager, Madam Yun unconsciously pouted her lips.

Her resentment towards the Shen Family's Old Dowager was quite deep.

"Third Madam, Fairy Liu is the senior sister of this generation from Xiaoyao Peak, with exceptional talent in the Sword Dao...

She doesn't match with me..."

Shen Han explained helplessly, these words couldn't be spread around.

If it were to spread, how would he face Fairy Liu then?

She had helped him so much, and yet he was spreading such unfounded rumors.

It would not be appropriate at all.

"Third Madam, Fairy Liu has done me a great favor, and besides, I have no improper thoughts towards her....."

Madam Yun perceived the meaning in Shen Han's words and quickly nodded.

"Alright, alright, we won't speak indiscriminately.

You've grown up, this child has secrets now."

Madam Yun said with some emotion.

Finally, she couldn't help but add:

"However, I think Fairy Liu is indeed wonderful, more suited for you, Han.

As for Su Jinyu, if it's her whom you like, it's okay, at least she's also beautiful.

And if you do marry Su Jinyu, Madam He would certainly be infuriated."

Shen Han did want to see Madam He get enraged, but he had no interest in Su Jinyu and certainly wouldn't marry her.

The twelfth of the twelfth month.

Another two days passed.

Just three days remain until the wedding day.

In the Rain Listening Pavilion, the maid Qingcao wore a worried expression on her face.

Carrying a pot of green tea, she walked into Su Jinyu's training room.

"Miss, why hasn't the Shen Family sent a message about breaking off the engagement? With only three days left, the fifteenth is almost here..."

The engagement that should have been annulled long ago had been dragged on until now.

Initially engrossed in her cultivation, Su Jinyu hadn't thought about these matters.

But hearing Qingcao bring it up, her eyes lowered slightly.

Three days, it's truly a short time.

To be honest, Su Jinyu was also a bit puzzled as to why there was no news of an annulment.

Could it be that the Shen Family is truly willing for her to marry Shen Han?
