Chapter 445: Chapter 441: I Really Should Go Ask Her If She Has Any Engagement With You
At the wooden table, Yi Xingshan described Su Jinyu, based on his impressions, to Shen Han.
Her demeanor was somewhat cold, on the day he saw her, her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, giving an air of casualness.
Her beauty was striking, truly like a fairy descended from the heavens…
However, Yi Xingshan’s description provided no distinctive features.
Shen Han inquired further about Su Jinyu’s attire, hair ornaments, the sword she carried, and so forth.
Only through distinctive features could he have a chance of recognizing her.
Upon hearing Shen Han’s questions, Yi Xingshan’s description left Shen Han quite perplexed.
The verbal depiction seemed somewhat like Su Jinyu, yet somewhat unlike…
Feeling his description was inadequate, Yi Xingshan borrowed pen and paper from Li Li.
In his youth, Yi Xingshan learned a bit about painting and was able to craft an illustration with ink.
He moved aside the snacks on the table.
Dipping the brush in ink, Yi Xingshan began to illustrate.
With just ink and blank spaces, a portrait appeared before everyone.
Looking at the woman on the canvas, Shen Han wondered who else it could be if not Su Jinyu…
Unexpectedly, after leaving Great Wei, she had come to this place.
Shen Han gazed intently, his mind filled with various speculations.
Yet, no matter how much he speculated, the only way to know how she arrived in the Divine Land was to ask her in person.
Beside him, upon witnessing Shen Han’s fixation on Su Jinyu’s portrait, several people couldn’t help but chuckle.
Jiang Ling’Er, having calmed down earlier, returned to find Shen Han absorbed in looking at Su Jinyu’s portrait.
Her slightly eased mood turned somewhat sour.
She had just managed to develop some fondness for him, only to discover Shen Han was so enamored with Su Jinyu…
A feeling of anger brewed inside, yet this time, Jiang Ling’Er did not leave but returned to the table.
“So, just a portrait is enough to make you lose your appetite?”
Her tone concealed a hint of jealousy, apparent to all present.
Yet, Shen Han and the others thought Jiang Ling’Er disliked Su Jinyu, hence her jealousy.
In truth, if others were infatuated with Su Jinyu, she wouldn’t mind so much.
But it had to be Shen Han, whom she actually liked…
What kind of charm did Su Jinyu possess to have such an effect?
“If you like it so much, why not take the portrait and sleep with it at night?”
At this moment, Jiang Ling’Er’s words were laced with undisguisable anger.
Shen Han snapped back to reality; although he was merely pondering, to others, he indeed looked like he was intently staring at a woman’s portrait, which seemed quite odd.
“Stop deluding yourself, she doesn’t fancy you.
Su Jinyu is currently the most esteemed direct disciple of the sect.
You’re merely an ordinary disciple of Star Tower.
No matter how handsome you are, Su Jinyu still wouldn’t take interest in you.
She’s surrounded by excellent men, far surpassing you.”
Seemingly dissatisfied, Jiang Ling’Er’s words continually elevated Su Jinyu while belittling Shen Han.
She couldn’t help but be upset.
Her previously admired Senior Brother Fu Tianqi now lingered beside Su Jinyu every day.
After finally developing fondness toward Shen Han, despite never visiting the Celestial Sword Sect nor meeting Su Jinyu.
Yet he yearned so deeply…
Just thinking about these matters was infuriating.
Upon hearing her words, Shen Han merely chuckled: “I can’t compare, so be it, I never intended to compete with others.”
No sooner had Shen Han spoken than Yi Xingshan seemed to disagree.
“Senior Sister Jiang’s words are rather partial.
Brother Shen surpasses everyone’s expectations, excelling beyond measure.
While many seniors in the sect indeed excel exceedingly, Brother Shen can absolutely compare to them.
As for Su Jinyu, Brother Shen undoubtedly matches her.”
Already feeling unhappy, Yi Xingshan added another sentence.
“Su Jinyu suits him, while I, apparently, do not, right?”
Jiang Ling’Er’s expression turned sour; she sat in her chair, turning her head away from everyone.
This display made Li Li sense something amiss.
Her niece appeared somewhat peculiar.
“Fairy Jiang, don’t overthink it, I hold no particular thoughts about Su Jinyu.
If I’m not mistaken, she’s an old acquaintance from my homeland.
I merely have some matters to discuss with her.”
Mentioning Su Jinyu, Shen Han only referred to her as an old acquaintance.
Indeed, their relationship was merely one of past acquaintances.
There were no exchanges of friendship between them, and there were even some unresolved feelings.
His words were truthful, yet Jiang Ling’Er barely believed it.
“Old acquaintances, you’re quite the storyteller.
As far as I know, Su Jinyu isn’t from the Northern Mountain Domain.
Though I’m unfamiliar with her exact origins, she’s certainly not from the same place as you.
Is Su Jinyu really that remarkable?
Fabricating lies just to associate with her?
If so, why not say you were betrothed to her, she fled the marriage, and now you’re seeking her out?
This story, even sounds more intriguing.”
Jiang Ling’Er’s comments revealed her discontent through her tone.
“Previously, there was a betrothal, but it was long annulled…
I feel indifferent towards her, merely needing to discuss some matters.”
Watching Shen Han speak in a composed manner, Jiang Ling’Er couldn’t help but laugh.
“You indeed weave tales, even mentioning a betrothal.
This trip to Celestial Sword Sect, I’ll definitely inquire if she had any betrothal with you.”
Despite her words, Shen Han exhibited no sign of panic.
He wasn’t concerned about her inquiry; it was indeed the truth.
“Um…Fairy Jiang…
Could you take me to Celestial Sword Sect? I need to speak with her face to face.”
Previously, Jiang Ling’Er had considered agreeing to any sensible request Shen Han might make.
Yet when Shen Han actually made a request, she instantly declined.
“I have no authority to take you to Celestial Sword Sect.
Besides, with your mind fixated on Su Jinyu, if you disrupt her,
The sect might blame me later on.
If it’s only to ask whether she ever had any thoughts of you, or considered you, these kinds of questions should remain unsaid.”
Jiang Ling’Er was unwilling, but Yi Xingshan immediately chimed in.
“Fear not, Brother Shen, for you have done me great favor.
It’s merely a trip to Celestial Sword Sect, such a trivial request, I can accomplish.
Though I lack talent, my father treats me well.
Such minor requests pose no problem.”
As they conversed, Yi Xingshan glanced at his old servant.
The servant nodded, took out the Sound Transmission Jade, walked a bit further, sent a message.
Returning swiftly, he nodded again toward Yi Xingshan.
Observing Yi Xingshan’s interference, Jiang Ling’Er grew more upset.
She rose yet again and retreated indoors, this time refusing to emerge even for meals.
Ultimately, it was Li Li who expressed gratitude to Shen Han on her behalf.
Yi Xingshan also expressed gratitude anew as Shen Han departed.
Shen Han had not only treated his hysteria but, more importantly, enabled his acupoints.
