Chapter 346: Chapter 345: So, You Don’t Know How to Argue Your Way Out, Do You?
Upon hearing Zhu Mingxiang’s words, Shen Han wasn’t upset.
With a wry smile on his face, he stepped forward, cupped his hands, and paid his respects, “To be honest with you, Fairy Zhu, under the current circumstances, I truly do not dare to engage in another contest with you.
You wish to win, but I also do not wish to lose.
At the very least, allow me some time to further my cultivation, and then we can speak of a duel again.”
Hearing Shen Han speak in this manner, Zhu Mingxiang felt the pent-up frustration in her heart release quite a bit.
The expression on her face was no longer as rigid as it initially was.
She pursed her lips slightly and looked at Shen Han a few more times.
Then, pulling on the reins, this Fairy Zhu finally rode away on her fine steed.
Even as she rode far away, she couldn’t resist turning back to look at Shen Han.
Previously, when she looked at Shen Han, she always thought he was despicable, using hidden weapons to ambush her eldest brother.
Such a vile person was detestable to behold.
But upon seeing him today and realizing it was her own prejudice, she found him much more pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, Shen Han was indeed much more handsome than Shen Ye…
After she left, the people around couldn’t help but quietly ask Shen Han.
“Brother Shen, you were able to defeat her yesterday; today, you couldn’t have been afraid of her…”
Upon hearing this, Shen Han still responded helplessly: “This Fairy Zhu is clearly a person with an intense desire to win; I do not wish to lose to her, but if I win, who knows how she might cause a fuss in retaliation…”
Shen Han’s words were quite accurate, indeed.
The people around nodded in agreement upon hearing his explanation.
However, after Zhu Mingxiang left, the middle-aged nobleman from Yan Country remained standing in the road ahead.
“Fairy Zhu has already left; what do you mean by still lingering here?” said the leading gentleman, frowning slightly as he looked at him, a bit on guard.
Judging by his demeanor among the people of Yan Country, his position there could not be low.
As he spoke, the man stepped forward.
“The reason I rashly block the way today is mainly that I have some words I wish to say to Shen Han.”
Hearing this, Shen Han stepped forward two paces.
“Senior, please speak freely; Shen Han is all ears for your guidance.”
Upon hearing these words, the man smiled and looked at Shen Han.
“Though it was late at night yesterday, I still had someone investigate your situation in Wei Country.
Seems like, young man, your days in Wei Country haven’t been all that pleasant, have they?
Now you are labeled as an ill omen, with the possibility of many more bizarre and unlucky names in the future.
You, young man, are you truly not afraid?”
The middle-aged man from Yan Country spoke casually but with a faint hint of temptation in his voice.
Hearing this, the gentleman leading the Wei delegation sternly rebuked: “These are internal affairs of Great Wei; what concern are they of yours?
Moreover, there are people in the capital who will protect Shen Han; his safety is not your concern!”
The Yan Country nobleman heard these words but didn’t bother to respond.
With a smile still on his face, he said, “Why are you in such a hurry?
Whether Shen Han’s safety needs worrying about, he knows better than you.
Your Wei Country’s Luo Zuchen, who is also Shen Ye’s mentor.
I’ve heard he’s been rampant in Great Wei; without a doubt, he has crippled many talented young warriors over the years.
Has anyone in Wei Country ever dealt with him?
Isn’t it true that this Luo Immortal does whatever he wishes~
Tell me, how can you protect someone a strongman of the Immortal Realm wants to get rid of?
Honestly, even if Shen Han himself isn’t worried about his safety, I worry for him as a Yan native.”
The Yan Country middle-aged man seemed well-prepared.
He was fully aware of the predicaments Shen Han faced in Great Wei.
His words left the gentleman leading the Wei delegation at a loss for words.
Many were aware of Luo Zuchen’s misdeeds.
In theory, such an arrogant person should have been punished long ago, yet he remained unharmed for decades.
Many Wei nationals felt indignant upon hearing these things.
But what could indignation achieve?
Luo Zuchen himself was a powerful Immortal, not someone who could be easily dealt with by just anyone.
Additionally, it’s said that this Luo Zuchen has backing.
To be considered a backing by an Immortal Realm powerhouse, what could it be…
“What, don’t you even know how to refute this?
Shen Han, in Wei, can’t even assure his own safety.
A man like Luo Zuchen has numerous ways to end his life.
This time you’ve managed to shake off the ill-omen name above your head, but will you have such good fortune next time?”
The Yan nobleman spoke eloquently, his words filled with logic.
By now, everyone could guess what he was aiming to say.
“Shen Han, in recent years, Wei has been gradually declining, primarily because the younger generations lack protection.
Like Luo Zuchen, whom you’ve offended, who already has blood on his hands and yet still enjoys such freedom.
In our Yan Country, you’d never need to worry about your safety.
Yan Country’s care for the younger generation is beyond your imagination.
And given your handsome appearance, getting close to our princess, and eventually becoming a Prince Consort is also a possibility.
You should know, among many nations, it’s our Yan Country with the most abundant resources.
The Medicine-Refining Technique of Yan, even combined with Wei and that of Qi Country, is unmatched.
So…”
Before the Yan nobleman could finish speaking, the gentleman leading the Wei delegation could no longer hold back.
Taking a step forward, his face darkened: “So you can get lost; We Wei people know how to protect our young!
I will personally report about Luo Zuchen to the Imperial Court.
We don’t need you, an outsider, to worry.”
Hearing these words, the Yan noble wasn’t fazed by his sternness.
“I wasn’t asking you; I was addressing Shen Han.
So?
Are you interested in coming to our Yan Country, where your future growth will be incomparable to now?”
Without hesitation, Shen Han slightly bowed and saluted.
“I grew up in Wei and was nurtured by Wei, which has made me who I am today.
The Academy teacher, the Imperial Court of Great Wei, and many others have greatly helped me.
Having what I have today, I must remember this favor.
I cannot possibly leave Wei and join another.”
Shen Han spoke earnestly, leaving little room for further conversation.
Yet upon hearing this, he wasn’t anxious in the slightest.
“No matter; today you have not encountered such troublesome events.
If one day you’re pushed to a dead end, unable to gain a foothold in Wei.
Do come to our Yan Country.
No matter if it’s in ten or twenty years, if you’re willing, Yan will surely welcome you.”
With that, he wasted no more time, departing with a smile.
Today was just a setup; whether it bore fruit or not mattered little.
The gains might come ten years down the line.
But for such a small effort, whether benefits are reaped or not, nothing much is lost.
