During this conversation, Shi Yuezhu finally understood what Shen Han had experienced.
The Shen and Su Families wanted to cancel this engagement at the lowest cost.
A lot of despicable things had indeed been done.
The most crucial thing was, both the Shen Family and the Su Family felt they were not wrong.
The high-ranking members of the Shen Family even believed that Shen Han was ungrateful and owed the Shen Family an apology.
Just listening to it, Shi Yuezhu felt somewhat angry.
Shi Yuezhu did not mention the matter of writing the divorce letter.
But Shen Han had already picked up the pen to write.
The handwriting was elegant, and regardless of content, at least the impression it gave was very good.
Seeing Shen Han writing the divorce letter, Shi Yuezhu waved away the surrounding barriers.
At the end of the corridor, Madam Yun was nervously waiting there.
In her anxiety, she saw Shi Yuezhu walking towards her.
"Miss Yun, please accept these herbs as compensation for Shen Han.
The Yun Family is a Medicine-Refining Family. If they could be refined into Pills, it would be even better.
If inconvenient, they can also be consumed directly for great benefits."
Madam Yun’s brow furrowed slightly: "Weren’t we supposed to propose any compensation ourselves? What are these herbs?"
"These herbs are considered extra compensation. I can come to Anyang tomorrow, and we can talk about further compensation then if needed."
Hearing this, Madam Yun’s expression improved slightly.
During the conversation, Shen Han also finished writing the divorce letter.
He handed it to Shi Yuezhu, their eyes crossing for a moment.
With the divorce letter in hand, Shi Yuezhu did not linger further.
After Shi Yuezhu left, Shen Han also paid his respects to Madam Yun and then headed towards his own courtyard.
But Madam Yun held Shen Han back.
"Han, what did that Fairy Shi say to you?"
"She just gave me some pointers on things to be mindful of during my cultivation, as compensation for agreeing to write the divorce letter."
Hearing Shen Han say this, Madam Yun could not shake off a feeling that something was amiss.
"Han, remember that Shi Yuezhu is ultimately Su Jinyu’s master and stands on the side of the Su Family.
You must be cautious about her guidance.
Do not be deceived by her gentle and beautiful appearance.
Such people can deceive and are extremely adept at disguising their true selves."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han smiled helplessly: "Don’t worry, Third Madam, I won’t be easily fooled, nor will I blindly trust others."
Seeing Madam Yun nod, Shen Han walked towards his courtyard.
Watching Shen Han’s back, Madam Yun turned to look at Cailing beside her.
"Cailing’Er, do you think Han was acting strange today?"
Hearing Madam Yun’s words, Little Cailing frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled.
"Madam, I feel... it’s hard to say..."
"Why hesitate in front of me, speak your mind openly."
Upon hearing this, Cailing hesitated before finally opening her mouth: "I feel Young Master Han’s gaze towards Fairy Shi was somewhat strange..."
Once those words were said, Madam Yun’s brows furrowed even further.
"What nonsense are you spouting, child? That Fairy Shi must be about my age, at most a few years younger.
Moreover, her student Su Jinyu had an engagement with Han. How could it be possible..."
Looking down slightly, Cailing also felt it was impossible, but the way Shi Yuezhu looked at Shen Han and the way Shen Han looked at her suggested such a feeling.
"Madam, just consider Cailing’s words as nonsense...
But these are just Cailing’s feelings. Had it not been in front of Madam, I surely wouldn’t have spoken."
Seeing Cailing’s tone filled with a touch of grievance, Madam Yun quickly hugged her and softly comforted her.
At the same time, she kept this in mind, noting little Cailing’s words.
Returning to his courtyard.
For some reason, Shen Han felt somewhat exhausted.
Lying on the bed, he stared at the ceiling.
Unexpectedly, he and Shi Yuezhu would meet again at the Yun Mansion.
And she turned out to be Su Jinyu’s master...
The distance between them seemed further than imagined.
After thinking for a while, Shen Han gathered courage in his heart.
He sat up once more from the bed.
Consciously entering the world of Gen Mountain Secret Technique.
Desperate Intent, wanting to progress further in the Sixth Grade Realm.
One must comprehend their own intent.
I am absolutely clear about my intent, and I have already touched the edges of this intent.
However, all the hard work put in these days has brought little advancement.
Lacking comprehension of the intent, hard work is merely a waste of time.
Holding a Sword Shadow in hand, this time, Shen Han did not blindly charge towards the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum’s Abnormal Phenomenon.
Thinking about the idea of "Desperate" intent.
I seem to have touched the core of the intent, yet I always feel something is missing.
Since intent is Desperate, then it is like facing death fearlessly.
Apart from the first understanding of Desperate Intent, where the power of the Sword Momentum was significantly enhanced.
Subsequent attempts to replicate the sword technique of that day all ended in failure.
The momentum of the Sword Shadow fell distinctly short.
Sitting and contemplating, a gentle breeze swept through the world due to his thoughts.
The lush grass on the ground swayed with the wind.
After a while, the wind stopped.
Shen Han’s eyes opened with newfound clarity.
So, the so-called "Desperate Intent" is not simply about being desperate, facing death fearlessly.
The subtlety of "Desperate Intent" lies in protection.
Indeed, Martial Path practitioners face death fearlessly because they have someone they must protect in their hearts.
With clear thoughts, even at the cost of their own life, one must protect what’s precious in their heart.
Shen Han understood why the momentum of the Sword Shadow in his hand was so formidable that day.
It was because his Desperate Intent was born out of protection for Little Cailing, for Madam Yun.
In the world, Shen Han made his move again.
The Sword Shadow sliced through, and it seemed as if a beam of sword light slashed through the world.
The sixth-grade half-step realm, stepped in!
...
7:00 PM.
The Yun Family gathered around the dining table, happily enjoying dinner together.
At this moment, the Yun Family was pretty much ready.
In a few days, they would be able to open the mansion to guests.
When they reopen the mansion, the entire Yun Family will welcome its new beginning.
Engaged in cultivation, Shen Han had the servants leave the meal at the courtyard door, undisturbed.
Madam Yun noted Shen Han’s absence today and felt rather relieved, perfect for executing some plans.
After dinner, taking advantage of her brother and father still being present, Madam Yun called them both over.
"Father, Brother, you have been studying Alchemy Dao for years, and should recognize most herbs.
This herb, does it have any use?"
As she spoke, Madam Yun pulled out a brown box.
Once opened, inside was the plant-like herb.
The herb was very intact, its roots and leaves without any damage.
Once the box was opened, a fragrant scent floated out.
Without clearly seeing the herb’s appearance, Patriarch Yun immediately reacted.
"Piercing Mountain Sacred Bud, where did you acquire this?"
As Patriarch Yun of the Yun Family, seeing this herb brought a hint of delight.
Beside them, Yun Family’s uncle’s eyes also lit up.
"Shuang’Er, where did you get this Piercing Mountain Sacred Bud?"
"Is it very precious?"
"Of course! Piercing Mountain Sacred Bud may not qualify as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but it’s nearly there, incredibly rare.
This item only grows within high mountain rocks, its bud able to penetrate exceptionally hard rocks."
