Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Gu Simin’s sudden declaration shocked everyone present.

“Junior Sister Simin, did you misspeak?”

Cen Yunzi was the first to voice skepticism, his face almost spilling over with astonishment.

Beside him, the other senior brothers were echoing his sentiments.

“Junior Sister Simin, what kind of immense benefit did he offer you?

Could it make you speak against your conscience like this?”

The senior brothers of Shi Yuezhu were all reproaching Gu Simin in their words.

They were very dissatisfied with Gu Simin’s sudden shift in allegiance.

But aside from dissatisfaction, there was even more confusion.

They couldn’t understand what could cause Gu Simin to change her stance.

Not only were Shi Yuezhu’s senior brothers baffled, but Shi Yuezhu herself and Dean Tianyi as well.

At this moment, they were a bit stupefied, unsure of what Shen Han had actually said.

That he could manage to persuade Gu Simin.

“Junior Sister Simin, have you really thought this through…”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I’ve thought it through very clearly and considered it thoroughly.

I have contemplated recognizing the two of them for a long time.

There’s no need to reconsider.

According to the senior brother’s requirements, Shen Han needs to convince half of us.

If you don’t agree in your heart, go find Shen Han and let him persuade you.

There’s no need to try and change my decision again.”

After speaking, Gu Simin simply found a chair to sit on, unwilling to argue with them.

Seeing this, one of the senior brothers stepped forward.

“I want to see how you will persuade me.

Let me tell you in advance, no magical artifact or Pill will change my mind.

You and Junior Sister Yuezhu are absolutely not suited!”

Shen Han didn’t argue but merely invited this elder to have a chat in the secluded pavilion from before.

After Shen Han and that senior brother left, Gu Simin got up and walked to Shi Yuezhu’s side.

“Earlier, I spoke rashly. Truth be told, whether in terms of talent and potential, or in discerning people.

I, your senior sister, am far inferior to you, junior sister.”

Gu Simin felt a bit emotional.

In the sect, it was just her and Shi Yuezhu as the two women.

By comparison, she fell far short of this junior sister.

“Senior Sister, can you tell me what Shen Han actually said to you?”

To be honest, Shi Yuezhu was probably more curious than anyone else at the moment.

She herself had no confidence in convincing her senior brothers and sisters, so how did Shen Han manage it…?

Hearing her words, Gu Simin paused for a moment.

“So, Junior Sister, you still don’t know…?”

This question from Gu Simin made Shi Yuezhu frown and contemplate for a moment.

“Senior Sister, did he tell you about that matter?

He certainly acted impulsively…”

“Junior Sister Yuezhu, don’t try to get information out of me. If you want to know something, go ask Shen Han yourself.”

Gu Simin, being a seasoned individual, wasn’t easy to trick into revealing information.

Seeing this, Shi Yuezhu didn’t press further.

Patiently waiting, hoping that this time, Shen Han could truly win over her senior brothers and sisters.

Standing not far away, Liu Xilan sensibly came to pour tea for everyone.

As the senior sister of Xiaoyao Peak, such tasks shouldn’t naturally fall to her.

But here, her status was the lowest.

The events of today were not something that could be known by others.

Under these circumstances, the task of pouring tea naturally fell upon her.

After Gu Simin’s “betrayal,” Cen Yunzi began to furrow his brows.

Feeling a bit vexed, and equally puzzled as to how Gu Simin had been persuaded.

“Junior Sister Gu, Senior Brother wants to ask you…”

“Senior Brother, don’t ask me. If you have questions, you can ask Shen Han yourself in a while.”

…

Time passed, about another half a two-hour.

This time, the senior brother who left with Shen Han was named Qi Jiangong.

He was Xiaoyao Peak’s second senior brother, managing all internal affairs on the peak.

Before leaving, he had already steeled himself internally.

No matter what benefit Shen Han offered, he wouldn’t compromise.

In his heart, he was only concerned with Xiaoyao Peak’s interests, not personal gain.

After entering the pavilion, Shen Han repeated the conversation just as he did with Gu Simin.

No wonder they were senior and junior; Qi Jiangong’s response was quite similar to Gu Simin’s.

They both said that as long as Shen Han could possess Immortal Realm strength, everything would be negotiable.

Shen Han didn’t say much further, merely showcased his Immortal Realm strength to him as well.

The effect was as favorable as before.

Qi Jiangong was stunned for a long time, his reaction very similar to Gu Simin’s.

After confirming that Shen Han truly was at the Immortal Realm, his previous stern and mocking demeanor.

Vanished completely.

Now, the expression with which he regarded Shen Han was full of approval.

Shen Han also explained his purpose for concealing his strength.

To deal with Luo Zuchen, his display of strength and Realm might need to be hidden for a while.

Qi Jiangong also expressed agreement with Shen Han’s strategy.

He supported Shen Han’s approach, believing that dealing with an Immortal Realm adversary like Luo Zuchen.

Without a proper plan and strategy, it would be very difficult to succeed.

On the way back, Qi Jiangong’s face was full of smiles, brimming with happiness.

Returning to the courtyard.

Qi Jiangong and Gu Simin exchanged glances and then couldn’t help but break into smiles.

This smile, only they knew the meaning behind it.

Seeing the two of them smile at each other, Cen Yunzi and the others sensed that something was amiss.

Could it be that Qi Jiangong had also been won over by Shen Han?

Shi Yuezhu and Dean Tianyi were even more perplexed.

Dean Tianyi prided himself on being the one who valued Shen Han the most among those present.

Yet even he couldn’t fathom how Shen Han could persuade the two Peak Masters of Xiaoyao Peak.
