Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Song Xiaodie’s words were actually half warning, half plea.

Especially if Shen Han shamelessly exposed Song Xiaobing’s sneaky antics, both she and Song Xiaobing would be in trouble.

It might even stir the anger of other disciples.

After all, Song Xiaobing was indeed biased towards Shen Han.

Shen Han completely understood Song Xiaodie’s meaning, and appreciated her concern.

As for his own sister, he understood her best.

Song Xiaobing’s straightforward nature indeed made her easy to deceive.

Shen Han didn’t hesitate, and sincerely explained that he didn’t intend to harm anyone.

Some things, he would keep to himself and never speak about.

Seeing Shen Han’s sincerity in saying these words.

Although there was some worry in her heart, for now, there was no other solution.

After finishing, Song Xiaodie then took Song Xiaobing and walked back.

On the way back, this elder sister continued preaching.

"Look at that person, where does he even live?

A rickety bamboo house that can’t even stop the wind.

He probably hasn’t even earned enough contribution for the Washing Marrow.

What opportunities could someone like that possibly have?

If there were any real opportunities, why didn’t they fall on those Direct Disciples?"

"They call it an opportunity, it has to do with fate...

Those Direct Disciples didn’t have the fate..."

Song Xiaobing whispered back, almost driving Song Xiaodie mad with anger.

"You brat, if you keep being stubborn, I’ll lock you in the courtyard and not let you out!"

Hearing this, Song Xiaobing could only lower her head, not daring to argue with her sister.

"Be obedient, go back and rest.

An Elder from the Inner Sect is coming to give a lecture today. If I come back and don’t see you.

You know what to expect."

Leaving these words behind, Song Xiaodie walked away by herself.

As an Inner Sect Disciple, she was really busy and had too many things to deal with.

She wanted to constantly look after Song Xiaobing, but was also powerless to do so.

After seeing her sister leave, Song Xiaobing hesitated for a moment, then turned back.

Upon finding Shen Han, she earnestly apologized.

"My sister is just like that; she never trusts anyone, sees everyone as bad people..."

Shen Han smiled: "She’s like that because she has suffered losses and learned from them.

Do you think she doesn’t want to trust others?

It’s just that this world has too many deceivers, and you need to work hard to discern them."

Hearing Shen Han’s words, Song Xiaobing couldn’t help but smile.

"Why are you speaking up for her, and even sound like her.

Even though you’re about my age, don’t think you can lecture me."

It was as if Song Xiaobing’s rebellious phase was delayed, pouting as she spoke.

"Do you still want to go?

The two-hour period hasn’t passed, that senior might still be there.

If you hurry over now, that opportunity might still exist.

I’ve heard that this senior can unlock the bindings in your body.

Your talents might be enhanced through this.

This trip might change your life.

Of course, all this is my guess, whether it’s really so marvelous, you’ll only know by going."

With Shen Han saying this, Song Xiaobing’s eyes filled with more anticipation.

After thinking for a while, she ultimately decided to go.

Following the directions Shen Han gave her, she walked forward.

Seeing her leave, Shen Han found a hidden place and disguised himself again.

Then put on a [delicate mask].

The mask fit his whole face, making it impossible to discern any facial features.

With a change of appearance, Shen Han walked to the water’s edge, looking at his reflection.

Even Madam Yun and Cailing wouldn’t recognize him?

Without further delay, Shen Han also went to the agreed location.

Upon arrival, Song Xiaobing was already waiting there.

Shen Han didn’t say much to her, using wood from around he crafted a wooden table.

Right in front of Song Xiaobing, he removed the [crude wooden table] label.

And added a [delicate] label.

Song Xiaobing watched as the rough wooden table became incredibly delicate...

This miraculous ability, if not seen with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed it.

This scene made her feel that she had truly encountered a master.

Who could wave a hand and make rough wood transform?

Song Xiaobing had been in the Five Immortals City for over two years.

Even from hearsay, she hadn’t heard of such an extraordinary ability.

Of course, the more extraordinary it was, the more it proved her trip was correct.

The senior in front of her already possessed the ability of turning stone into gold.

What could he possibly covet from her?

What did Song Xiaobing possess that was worth coveting?

"Senior..."

Song Xiaobing called softly.

The "senior" in front simply glanced at her and nodded.

Gesturing for her to sit before the wooden table and extend her hand.

Shen Han’s fingers gently landed on her wrist.

When she felt Shen Han’s fingers, Song Xiaobing instinctively wanted to pull away.

Realizing it was a senior expert, she held still.

While diagnosing, Shen Han also found some clues.

This Binding Realm, these bindings, were somewhat peculiar.

The reason it is called peculiar is because the difference from what Shen Han had in mind is quite significant.

"How many bindings in the Binding Realm have you unlocked?"

Shen Han intentionally made his voice hoarse, indeed having the air of an elder.

"In response to the elder, this junior is dull-witted, and has only unlocked three bindings in total..."

Out of twelve bindings, only unlocking three doesn’t really count as exceptional.

However, among the Outer Sect Disciples of Five Immortals City, this is about the average level.

Ordinary disciples generally unlock two bindings.

Outer Sect Disciples unlock three, while four is considered excellent.

Inner Sect Disciples must unlock five.

As for those who can unlock six bindings, they have the opportunity to be included in the ranks of Direct Disciples.

Unlocking three bindings was the same result as what he observed from inspecting the body.

This consistent result was somewhat surprising to Shen Han.

Shen Han had just examined Song Xiaobing’s body.

The so-called unlocking of bindings is essentially the emergence of three choke points on the body.

If one follows the Old Cultivation Method, these choke points would lead to a continuous loss of one’s strength.

In the eyes of those practicing the Old Cultivation Method, these are injuries or ailments.

But here, it is instead considered a talent...

In thought, Shen Han couldn’t help but look at Song Xiaobing.

He reconfirmed it again.

Skin, flesh, veins.

Each of these three parts has a choke point, breaking through these points is unlocking the bindings.

Shen Han thought to himself.

For him, this is indeed not difficult.

Suturing these choke points might be somewhat difficult, but opening them is very easy.

Breaking through is much simpler than repairing.

"I am going to perform acupuncture on you next, don’t move around."

Shen Han continued speaking with that hoarse voice, as he took out his backup needles.

The fourth needle, stitching needle, reaching the tendons.

For Shen Han, these are extremely simple.

But for those who have not comprehended the Acupuncture Technique of the Nine Needles of Lingshu, it might be difficult to imagine that such a technique would have such miraculous effects.

Upon seeing the needle tip, Song Xiaobing involuntarily felt a bit worried.

She looked up at the elder in front of her, the cold indifference of the mask made her want to speak, but she didn’t dare to.

Picking up the stitching needle, Shen Han began to insert it.

When the needle tip first entered, there was no pain felt.

Song Xiaobing only felt a dull sensation in her body.

In just a quarter of an hour, Shen Han’s acupuncture was complete.

Seeing Shen Han withdrawing the needle, Song Xiaobing realized that the acupuncture was already over.

"Test and see if the fourth binding is unlocked."

Shen Han continued to ask with a hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaobing couldn’t feel any changes in her body.

Nevertheless, upon hearing this, she still tried as instructed.

With this attempt, Song Xiaobing instantly felt changes in her body.

Unbinding the bindings, if not using a rare treasure hard to find in the world, is impossible to accomplish.

Although Song Xiaobing’s ability is ordinary, she still possesses such common sense.

For ordinary people, stepping into the Binding Realm.

The number of bindings unlocked usually stays the same for their entire life.

Song Xiaobing had never thought that the bindings she had unlocked could change.

At this moment, Song Xiaobing was completely stunned.

It took her a while to regain her senses, intending to apologize.

However, the "elder" in front of her spoke first.

"Your body is fine, I shall take my leave now.

If there are any issues with your body in the future, you can find Shen Han and let him seek me out."

With that, the "elder" in front of her leaped and disappeared from Song Xiaobing’s sight.

At this moment, Song Xiaobing finally understood what an opportunity was.

This is what an opportunity means.

Originally, she had only unlocked three bindings, and rightly so, her life would remain unchanged.

But now, just a moment of acupuncture.

She didn’t even feel any pain in her body.

If unbinding the bindings on her body required some pain, she was willing to endure it.

Once she regained her senses, she wanted to express her gratitude.

But the "elder" had already vanished.

In hesitation, Song Xiaobing could only shout her thanks towards the empty wilderness.

Having a binding on her body unlocked, this opportunity is indeed one akin to ascending to the heavens.

On her way back, Song Xiaobing was skipping, anyone could see her happiness at a glance.

Such a naive child...

Shen Han’s acupuncture was indeed extremely fast, not even taking a full two-hour period to complete.

Checking the time, it was not yet Noon.

Song Xiaobing planned to return to her own residence first.

At this time, Shen Han was likely not staying at the courtyard either.

The courtyard where Song Xiaobing lived was her older sister’s small courtyard.

Today, her older sister had gone to receive guidance from an Elder.

She was unlikely to return soon.

Song Xiaobing planned to familiarize herself after returning home.

When her sister returns, she would surprise her mightily.

At this moment, Song Xiaobing was filled with pride in her heart, and her face was brimming with excitement.

Skipping all the way, every time she encountered someone she knew along the way, Song Xiaobing would greet them enthusiastically.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Song Xiaobing originally intended to return to her room to experience the unbinding for herself.

But just as she pushed open the gate, she found Song Xiaodie sitting with a chair set at the entrance of the courtyard.
