Chapter 347: Chapter 346: A Lover, Perhaps?
After encountering this person, the atmosphere of the entire group changed slightly.
It was no longer as relaxed as it was initially.
Many people actually did not understand much about Shen Han’s affairs.
Previously, the engagement between Shen Han and Su Jinyu, and the events of their clash, had stirred up quite a commotion.
Indeed, many had heard about it.
But in fact, for many geniuses, there was no interest in listening to such gossip.
They focused more on studying their own cultivation.
Just like Shen Han, who wasn’t interested in listening to tidbits about other talents.
It was only when he heard that Yan national’s words did he realize that Shen Han had offended Luo Zuchen…
No wonder he ended up with a notorious reputation.
But even so, Shen Han never showed any sign of weakness.
Those present heard this and were faintly encouraged and inspired.
While the other leading gentlemen fell into contemplation.
They were also reflecting on why in recent years, the younger generation of Great Wei has been becoming weaker.
Could it be because of troubles caused by people like Luo Zuchen?
The reason the Yan people dare to come over and poach talent this way is indeed because Shen Han encountered such issues.
A young man whose life is threatened, a young genius being targeted by an Immortal Realm power.
This gave their Yan nation an opportunity.
Sitting in the returning carriage, Shen Han also understood the intention of the Yan national middle-aged man.
Actually, just now, apart from brazenly trying to win him over, he was also extending goodwill and offering some support.
Saying these things in public today, even bringing up the enmity with Luo Zuchen.
This was clearly putting pressure on the Great Wei court.
Pointing out the reason as Luo Zuchen, labeling him as the culprit driving many young people to treason.
That’s why Great Wei would resolve to deal with it.
Thinking about it, Shen Han felt something didn’t add up.
This Yan national shouldn’t be helping Great Wei clear out these troubles.
The larger possibility is that he estimated that Luo Zuchen couldn’t be removed.
If Luo Zuchen came for him later, and he was disheartened, he might think of the Yan national.
This indeed aligns more with his calculations.
Sitting in the carriage, Shen Han’s thoughts also began to address the matter of Luo Zuchen.
After the news of the Ten Nations Grand Competition spread, Luo Zuchen’s murderous intent toward him would surely become more intense.
As Luo Zuchen said himself, he is a person who seeks stability, always seeking stability.
Worried that Shen Han might grow strong in the future, after becoming enemies with Shen Han, he wanted to take action against him early.
Now Shen Han has revealed such strength, even defeating Yan’s Zhu Mingxiang.
With such talent and strength, how could Luo Zuchen tolerate it?
Letting Shen Han grow up would not align with his so-called stable-seeking character.
Shen Han also pondered this.
After stepping into the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm, he didn’t need to worry too much about Shen Ye.
He had the inner armor with orange attributes on him, plus the support of the Unceasing Skill.
Even if Shen Ye had some mysterious and unparalleled moves, at worst, he might not win against him.
But Shen Ye certainly wouldn’t be able to threaten his life.
The one he needed to watch out for more now was only Luo Zuchen.
There is always a chasm between Immortal Realm powerhouses and regular cultivators.
When he came back from the Land of the Far South, he fought with Luo Zuchen’s painted incarnation.
Evidently, it was just an incarnation, but the Immortal Realm’s gap was there, causing him a lot of trouble.
It was only with that long sword imbued with ’Poison into the Divine Marrow’ that he managed to destroy Luo Zuchen’s incarnation.
Returning to the Capital City this time, he must be more cautious about his own safety.
Already in a death struggle with Luo Zuchen, he would certainly look for more vile ways against him.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Now with a more apparent reputation, the court’s attention on him would be greater.
Perhaps those in power would warn Luo Zuchen.
The Immortal Realm is powerful, but in Great Wei, it is not so overwhelmingly strong that no one is afraid.
The carriage traveled quickly, but it still took three days and nights to reach the Capital City of Great Wei.
On the day they entered the Capital City, the citizens of Great Wei lined the streets to welcome them.
All the young talents participating in the Ten Nations Grand Competition chose to break away from the group, not daring to accept the citizens’ welcome.
They had no face to accept such a welcome either.
The main event of the Ten Nations Grand Competition was a defeat.
And Shen Han didn’t like showing off in front of people, so he left the group with everyone else.
Thus, those whom the citizens welcomed along the road were, apart from the gentlemen and guards, only the abundant supplies.
Over ten carts full of rare supplies, truth be told, looking at them was quite satisfying.
Almost ended up in the hands of the Qi and Yan countries.
After leaving the group, Shen Han didn’t hesitate and returned directly to Tianyi Academy.
After greeting the three classmates at his residence, he went into his room to rest.
Then he headed to the courtyard where the dean lived.
Just as he approached, he already heard the dean’s hearty laughter, occasionally humming songs.
The courtyard where Dean Tianyi lived was surrounded by an open space he left for planting.
Shen Han had never heard the little tunes that Dean Tianyi sang.
The age difference made it understandable not to have heard them.
As he walked to the gate, the courtyard door opened by itself.
Shen Han didn’t think much of it, just followed in.
This kind of Immortal Realm powerhouse like the dean would have certainly noticed his arrival long ago.
“So you do have some sense of gratitude, knowing to come see the old man after returning.”
Dean Tianyi put down the hoe in his hand, and although trying to restrain himself, he couldn’t hide the smile on his face.
“Dean, you’ve poured your heart into supporting Shen Han. The student will surely remember this grace.”
While speaking, Shen Han took out a painting.
“Is this a gift for the old man?”
Shen Han nodded with a smile, handing over the painting.
“Why give me a painting? The old man has no taste for such things, even the works of famous artists are just slightly more refined before me.”
As he spoke, the dean unfurled the painting.
Seeing half of it, he quickly rolled it up again, looking a bit flustered.
“You little rascal, how did you go out this time and come back with bad habits?”
Dean Tianyi looked up at Shen Han, hardly believing this was a gift from him.
But Shen Han merely smiled: “Dean, you always like to speak such racy jokes, so I thought you’d like these paintings.
As a student, I picked the most exquisite, finely crafted one for you, Dean~”
“You impudent boy, your daring in giving gifts has increased a lot. Did you explore some new horizons?
How was it? After having such an experience, do you cherish life more?
It feels pretty good, doesn’t it?”
Dean Tianyi was still the same; between the words, he would slip some naughty joke.
In saying these things, Shen Han couldn’t compete with him.
“I heard from Shangping that on your way to the Ten Nations Grand Competition, there was a woman sending messages to you.
You were a mess, afraid of being found out.
Was she a lover?”
The word ’lover’ felt somewhat awkward to Shen Han…
