Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Beside them, seeing his brother say this, Yu Chou also nodded toward Shen Han.

"Go and give it a try. The step from the Loose Immortal Realm to the True Immortal Realm presents different challenges for each individual.

Perhaps even if you don’t solve the mystery of that Secret Realm, you might gain some insights from this journey."

Since the Sect Leader himself said this, Shen Han hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

"Tomorrow, Shen Han, you shall return with me to the Celestial Sword Sect.

We will rest a few days at the Celestial Sword Sect before setting off together for the Snow Mountain House."

Upon hearing Yi Qi’s words, Yu Chou beside them seemed slightly displeased.

"Is there really a need to rush...?

We just returned to the sect a few days ago, shouldn’t we stay a little longer?

Vice Sect Leader Yi, let Shen Han rest for ten more days at the Star Tower.

After ten days, he can then head to the Celestial Sword Sect."

Since the Sect Leader of Star Tower said this, Yi Qi couldn’t argue further, as Shen Han, after all, is a disciple of the Star Tower.

"Very well, but arriving ten days later will make it somewhat rushed.

Certain matters will have to be discussed on the way to Snow Mountain House."

During dinner, Star Tower prepared a quite sumptuous meal.

It was to entertain the visitors from the Celestial Sword Sect.

At the feast, Yu You complained a bit.

These few days at the Star Tower, he was only having meager meals.

Only by staying close to Yi Qi could he enjoy some delicacies...

The following day, Yu You, Yi Qi, and Yi Xingshan all returned to the Celestial Sword Sect.

By afternoon, Yu Chou strolled into Shen Han’s yard.

He came today to deliver some Cultivation Technique Manuals to Shen Han.

Since Shen Han joined the Star Tower for quite a while, apart from reading some general manuals,

he seemed to have learned nothing of the Star Tower’s cultivation techniques.

During the previous qualification competition, Shen Han, having made many moves, didn’t use even a single Star Tower Technique.

Other sect leaders even asked Yu Chou about it.

At that time, Yu Chou deliberately acted profound,

saying that since the opponent didn’t force Shen Han to reveal his true strength, naturally, he didn’t use the Star Tower’s techniques.

But in reality, Shen Han simply didn’t learn them...

"You, child, just spend these days honestly reading these books.

At the very least, you need to learn the ’Star Fall’ move.

Otherwise, you don’t seem at all like a disciple of the Star Tower.

You keep using Sword Techniques, making you look more like a person from the Celestial Sword Sect."

Yu Chou said, with a bit of reproach, hearing this, Shen Han could only smile helplessly.

Ten days quickly passed.

Not only did Shen Han learn the Star Fall, but during these ten days, he mastered the entire book of manuals Yu Chou gave him.

The Star Tower’s techniques bear some resemblance to Nangong Jin’s techniques.

Both harness abnormal phenomena to assault opponents.

However, the Star Tower’s techniques cover a vast area, meteor showers descending like a blanket.

Making it hard to evade.

While Nangong Jin’s techniques perturb the mind when striking the opponent.

There are indeed notable differences between the two sects’ techniques.

After attending to some miscellaneous tasks, Shen Han prepared to set off for the Celestial Sword Sect.

Initially, Shen Han thought he would journey alone.

Unexpectedly, Hall Master Li Li wanted to accompany him, saying she needed to speak with her niece Jiang Ling’Er.

And she had also stayed at the Celestial Sword Sect before; she intended to exchange medical skills there as well.

The two set off together.

Hall Master Li Li, who used to enjoy making ambiguous jokes, seemed much restrained along the way.

During the two days and one night journey, she scarcely said any unnecessary words.

In this manner, Shen Han actually felt at ease more so.

Initially, he thought it might be somewhat troublesome.

Upon arriving at the Celestial Sword Sect, Shen Han disembarked from his Flying Magical Artifact, and bid farewell to Hall Master Li Li.

Without a second glance, he headed to the southwest.

Seeing Shen Han’s lack of sentiment, Li Li showed a slight trace of resentment on her face, leaving one to wonder what she truly thought.

The Southwest Villa was where Yi Xingshan resided.

In the Celestial Sword Sect, it might not be a good idea to seek Senior Yi Qi directly, it could seem abrupt.

Seeking out Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi would be even more inappropriate.

After much thought, finding Yi Xingshan to talk might be the most suitable choice.

He knocked on the courtyard door, and soon, Yi Xingshan came out with a smile on his face.

"Judging by the days, I reckoned Brother Shen would be arriving around these two days."

Sitting in the yard for a while, Yi Xingshan told Shen Han about his recent cultivation progress.

After his blocked acupoints were opened, Yi Xingshan’s strength improved tremendously.

Comparing to before, it was like heaven and earth.

But Shen Han took a look, and this level of strength was not particularly outstanding in the Celestial Sword Sect.

Regarding Yi Xingshan’s cultivation, Shen Han shared some of his thoughts.

However, it could only be considered casual conversation.

Here at the Celestial Sword Sect, surrounded by many powerful individuals, he didn’t need to guide Yi Xingshan.

The two chatted for merely two quarters of an hour.

The Vice Sect Leader, Yi Qi, then arrived.

Upon seeing Shen Han, this Senior Yi displayed a smile on his face.

He genuinely held Shen Han in high regard.

If given the chance, he would have sought to draw Shen Han into his family through marriage.

"I’ve always thought you should have come sooner.

You’re cultivating the Sword Dao, after all. What can you learn at the Star Tower?"

Yi Qi’s first words to Shen Han were actually reproachful.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han also smiled: "Then why didn’t Senior Yi say to our Sect Leader back then, asking me to come earlier."

"I did think of that; however, upon careful consideration, I needed to give face to your Sect Leader.

Couldn’t just disregard his wishes on Star Tower’s turf."

After saying these words, Yi Qi waved his hand.

"Time is limited. There are three people exploring the Secret Realm this time, including you.

You already know Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi. Whether you can cooperate well depends on you three."

Upon hearing these words, Shen Han turned his head to look at Yi Xingshan beside him.

"Wouldn’t Brother Xingshan be coming along?"

"Xingshan better not. His presence would only be burdensome to you."

As the saying goes, no one understands their child better than a father; Yi Qi had a clear sense of his son’s abilities.

At present, he was satisfied with Yi Xingshan.

However, there was still a considerable gap to becoming a top-notch disciple.

With that said, Yi Qi took Shen Han to fly towards the north courtyard.

In the courtyard, Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi were already informed and waiting.

Upon seeing them, Shen Han quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

Seeing Shen Han greeting them, Su Jinyu also bowed in return.

In the Great Wei days, a significant grudge existed between the two.

Yet today, it seemed the enmity had dissolved.

The past, now seemed like the wind.

Crossing mountains, rivers, and crowds...

Looking back, it seemed those past events had turned into a slightly bitter wine.

Tasting a sip, it still seemed unpleasing.

But it was drinkable.
