Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 575 - 560: Today’s Farce Comes to an End

Persuading one person might be a coincidence, but convincing two consecutive people.

Can only prove that Shen Han definitely knows something.

After Qi Jiangong walked into the courtyard, he seemed to become more relaxed.

He pulled a chair over and sat beside Gu Simin.

"Jiangong, don’t tell me you’ve been bought by him too.

Think about what you said just before you left!"

Cen Yunzi had a hint of anger on his face.

Seeing Qi Jiangong’s current state, everyone could guess.

"Senior Brother, Shen Han didn’t buy me over.

I just think he and Junior Sister Yuezhu are indeed a good match.

Since they are a match, why should we Senior Brothers and Sisters stop them?

Their closeness will only bring Xiaoyao Peak endless benefits."

Qi Jiangong was already hinting to Cen Yunzi.

But at the moment, Cen Yunzi was more filled with anger.

"Qi Jiangong, have you thought of Xiaoyao Peak?

Do you think he and Junior Sister can be well-matched?

Fine, even if you think his potential is good, and you agree.

But haven’t you considered the issue of seniority and reputation?

Shen Han once had a marriage contract with Su Jinyu.

The seniority doesn’t match, being together could invite much gossip.

Qi Jiangong, I’ll ask you again, do you think they are a match?"

Qi Jiangong really hadn’t thought about what Cen Yunzi was saying.

The issue of reputation was indeed a problem.

Hearing his senior brother’s words, Qi Jiangong pondered for a moment.

But after thinking about it, it didn’t seem to be a problem at all.

Shen Han, twenty-two, Immortal Realm!

Faced with such a young genius, why bother about reputation problems? That would be putting the cart before the horse.

Besides, what sort of reputation issue is this?

At most, people will just talk a little more.

Qi Jiangong thought, if the world knew Shen Han had entered the Immortal Realm,

would there still be anyone gossiping?

They would only praise Shen Han and the relationship between Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu.

By then, the description would be a perfect match made in heaven, a golden couple.

After understanding this, Qi Jiangong stood up and looked at Cen Yunzi.

"Senior Brother, I’ve thought it over and still feel that Junior Sister Yuezhu and Shen Han are a good match.

We’d better not meddle unnecessarily.

Junior Sister Yuezhu has always been exceptionally clever; her ability to judge people is far superior to ours.

The person she chose can’t be wrong."

Qi Jiangong’s words caused Cen Yunzi to shake his head repeatedly.

"Crazy, you both are crazy.

What benefits did you get to speak for him in such a manner?

If this is what you truly want, then I won’t interfere.

Whatever you want, do as you please, but know this Xiaoyao Peak’s grand foundation will be ruined this way!"

Their attitudes caused Cen Yunzi to go slack.

This senior brother of theirs was truly furious.

Seeing this, Gu Simin stood up, looking at Shen Han.

After a moment, she turned her head to look at Cen Yunzi.

"Senior Brother, didn’t we say earlier that if Shen Han could persuade half of us, we would agree?

Now he has convinced both me and Senior Brother Qi.

Let him have a talk with you, the last barrier falls to you, Senior Brother, that should be without problem?"

Upon hearing this, Cen Yunzi immediately stood up.

"Fine, I’d like to see what he can say to persuade me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Yunzi started to leave.

Shen Han quickly followed.

They didn’t head to the pavilion but to a small mountain peak.

There was a pavilion here, providing a bit of rest.

"Speak, there’s no one around, no one can hear our conversation.

Let’s see what talent you have to persuade me."

Cen Yunzi’s tone was light, his words seemed more like going through the motions.

He probably thought to himself, no matter what Shen Han said, he wouldn’t agree.

Seeing Cen Yunzi’s attitude, Shen Han didn’t say much, simply releasing the aura of his Immortal Realm.

The pressure rushed directly at Cen Yunzi.

Cen Yunzi hadn’t expected this pressure to be released by Shen Han.

He thought it was an assassin attack.

He promptly shielded Shen Han, prepared to face it alone.

Upon realization, he turned back.

In Shen Han’s eyes, he saw a hint of surprise.

"That pressure just now..."

Shen Han cupped his hands and bowed: "Just as Senior Cen has seen, I have actually stepped into the Immortal Realm.

But due to certain plans, I showed myself as Fourth Grade strength.

I intended to reveal it after dealing with Luo Zuchen.

Today, there’s no reason to hide anymore."

Shen Han’s words were neither humble nor arrogant.

And hearing this, Cen Yunzi’s expression became extremely varied.

"You are...in the Immortal Realm?"

Suddenly he understood why his junior brothers and sisters were persuaded by Shen Han.

What takes others a century to achieve in the Immortal Realm, Shen Han accomplished in just over twenty years...

What more can one hesitate about such a worldly genius?

In an instant, Cen Yunzi’s demeanor became much softer.

"The crux was at this point, it seems, I must concede to you too.

At such an age to reach the Immortal Realm, all obstacles are no longer obstacles."

After coming to his senses, Cen Yunzi was candid, and his tone softened instantly.

"Old man may have spoken harshly a few times before, please don’t take it to heart.

Initially, it was from genuine concern..."

Shen Han smiled and shook his head, "I understand Senior Cen’s worries, I won’t harbor such minor matters."

"Now your achievements surpass those of Junior Sister in many ways.

Entering the Immortal Realm at your age, surely your future is bright.

I have no other requests, just hope you can help Junior Sister more in the future.

Perhaps for her sake, to aid in Xiaoyao Peak’s growth."

Shen Han accepted the request with a courteous bow.

When returning, Cen Yunzi didn’t walk ahead alone.

But walked alongside Shen Han.

Going there, they were silent.

Returning, they conversed and laughed.

When the waiting crowd saw Cen Yunzi’s expression, except for Gu Simin and Qi Jiangong,

the others were taken aback.

"It seems no surprise, Senior Brother has defected too..."

The other senior brothers of Shi Yuezhu, their faces now more curious than angry.

They were constantly guessing.

They couldn’t fathom what conditions could make Cen Yunzi compromise.

Aside from the three of them, Shi Yuezhu and others were no less surprised.

Once back in the courtyard, Cen Yunzi’s face held a slight smile as he joined the group.

"Alright, this farce ends here today.

As we stated earlier, as long as Shen Han convinces half of us, we’ll agree.

Now, he has achieved that, let’s not waste time."

After saying this, Cen Yunzi smiled at Shi Yuezhu and Shen Han.

"If nothing else, you may leave first.

Dean Tianyi, please don’t disturb the young people’s communication.

Relax in our courtyard, we have plenty of good tea, and perhaps we’ll exchange cultivation insights."

Now Cen Yunzi’s attitude has taken a 180-degree turn.

Not only did he stop blocking, he openly promoted them.

Even Shi Yuezhu was taken aback by this demeanor.

Dean Tianyi knew he should be helping Shen Han now.

He smiled and agreed, nudging Shen Han, signaling him to leave with Shi Yuezhu.

"I’d love to exchange more insights with Peak Master Cen, Shen Han, take care of your own matters, don’t mind me."

While speaking, Gu Simin also stepped forward.

She took their hands, prompting them to hold hands.

She used to be agitated by their closeness, but now it was different...

Although the other three senior brothers didn’t understand the reason, seeing their senior already decided, there must be some hidden reason.
