Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

With a casual wave, Shen Han was able to unlock a restraint within Song Xiaobing’s body.

Such a method on the Southern Heaven Continent would undoubtedly be deemed a miracle.

At the very least, Song Xiaodie had read so many books.

And she had never come across any book that mentioned a way to casually unlock the restraints on someone.

"Song Xiaobing, after that Shen Han, did he come looking for you to talk about anything?

Did he ask you for anything?"

Song Xiaodie’s expression was serious, and she couldn’t help but press further, still somewhat skeptical.

Could such an opportunity truly be given away for free?

But hearing this, Song Xiaobing still shook her head.

"After this happened, I didn’t go looking for Junior Brother Shen.

He trained so late last night, today he must be resting well..."

Hearing Song Xiaobing’s words, Song Xiaodie couldn’t quite wrap her head around it.

Indeed, even if Shen Han had any ulterior motives, he shouldn’t be giving away such an opportunity.

The value of unlocking a single restraint already exceeded the worth of both Song Xiaobing and Song Xiaodie combined.

Even if they offered themselves to someone in exchange for unlocking a restraint,

no one would agree.

They would only ask: what kind of royal lineage is this worth?

Thinking it over, Song Xiaodie figured that perhaps Shen Han’s gift of this opportunity to her sister

really wasn’t for any ulterior motive.

If it were, what Shen Han offered was too precious.

Even in exchange, the sisters couldn’t offer anything comparable.

"Xiaobing, in the future, when you speak with Shen Han, you must be mindful of your attitude and tone.

Today, you truly stumbled upon a significant opportunity, my child."

At this moment, Song Xiaodie’s attitude had begun to shift.

Previously, she referred to Shen Han as just a servant disciple.

Now, she’s starting to tell Song Xiaobing to be mindful when speaking with Shen Han...

Hearing this, Song Xiaobing pursed her lips in slight annoyance.

"Sis, when have I ever had a bad attitude...

The one who has a bad attitude towards him is you..."

Being called out like this by Song Xiaobing, Song Xiaodie’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.

This morning, she had pulled Song Xiaobing along to reprimand Shen Han.

In Shen Han’s heart, he must already be upset...

Thinking of this, Song Xiaodie’s heart was full of regret.

Just a little more, and she would have ruined her sister’s opportunity.

It’s not just regret, but more than that, it’s fear.

After hesitating for a while.

Song Xiaodie couldn’t help but speak again: "Xiaobing, do you think I should go apologize to him...

After all, he knows such a powerful person..."

Hearing this, Song Xiaobing couldn’t help but furrow her brows deeply.

"Sis, aren’t you being a bit too pragmatic...

Shen Han isn’t that petty, earlier, he even advised me not to be angry with you."

Song Xiaobing explained softly.

But Song Xiaodie’s expression remained somber.

"Xiaobing...

Do you think we should ask Shen Han again to help us gain another opportunity?

If you could unlock another restraint, you would definitely enter the ranks of the Inner Sect disciples."

This left Song Xiaobing momentarily stunned.

Song Xiaobing now records entries at the entrance to the Book Collection Pavilion.

She often comes to read books.

Even she knows how precious and rare this opportunity is.

Her sister really dares to think.

"Sis, do you think such opportunities are plentiful...

Being able to unlock one more restraint is already the luckiest thing in my life."

Song Xiaobing thought quite openly.

But in Song Xiaodie’s eyes, there was a hint of longing.

"How would we know if we don’t try?"

Song Xiaodie’s eyes sparkled with a trace of longing.

It seemed to glisten slightly.

Unlocking a restraint, such a momentous opportunity, who wouldn’t want it?

Although Song Xiaodie is an Inner Sect disciple, her strength has always been at the bottom of the Inner Sect.

She’s almost on the brink of being eliminated.

If she could unlock another restraint within herself, then she could truly stand firm in the Inner Sect.

Song Xiaobing looked at her sister.

To plead with Shen Han for another opportunity, she didn’t have such thick skin.

Even if it was for herself, she would feel embarrassed.

But seeing her sister’s eyes, Song Xiaobing understood the meaning behind them.

If it were for her sister, she wanted to give it a try...

If she had known earlier that this opportunity really could unlock a restraint, Song Xiaobing would have gladly given it to her sister.

However, if she had offered the chance to Song Xiaodie earlier, Song Xiaodie probably wouldn’t have believed it.

"Sis, then let’s go find Junior Brother Shen a bit later.

I should go thank him.

Also, to try my luck again..."

Hearing this, Song Xiaodie couldn’t help but nod repeatedly.

She then ran back into the house, wanting to see if there was anything of value she could offer.

Being able to connect with such an esteemed individual, it was evident.

Song Xiaodie could already foresee that if this matter became known, Shen Han would surely be highly regarded by the sect.

She checked the time; it was just past noon.

Song Xiaobing suggested waiting a bit longer and not to disturb Shen Han now.

After all, he practiced reading so late last night and was even reprimanded by her Senior Sister in the morning.

Surely, he needed a good rest.

Song Xiaobing proposed to go at the late afternoon, just in time to invite Shen Han for dinner.

In the past, Song Xiaobing’s suggestions were often ignored.

But now, Song Xiaodie chooses to fully listen to her younger sister.

She has learned to be smart and knows that if she follows her own nature, things might not succeed.

Song Xiaodie waited anxiously all afternoon.

Even when hearing that the Elder was free and would lecture again in the afternoon, Song Xiaodie still didn’t leave.

Compared to listening to the Elder’s lecture, visiting Shen Han was much more important.

At the late afternoon, seeing that her sister also thought the time was right, the two set off together.

Song Xiaodie found a Pill in her room, the most precious thing she had.

To be honest, holding this Pill, Song Xiaodie dared not use it to curry favor with the Five Immortals City’s Elder executives.

But today, to curry favor with Shen Han, she had no hesitation.

Even if Shen Han accepted this gift without giving them any further opportunities, it was still worth giving.

After all, the opportunity Shen Han offered before had already helped Song Xiaobing break a restraint.

For just that, the Pill was worth giving.

Green plants lined the roadside, the spring season with new buds growing on the branches.

Song Xiaobing was in a very happy mood.

Not only because of her increase in strength.

Also because her decision was recognized by her elder sister.

The increase in strength also gave Song Xiaobing a sense of rebirth.

The two sisters walked toward the bamboo building together.

The scenery along the way was nice, with occasional breezes brushing past.

At this time, the bamboo building was very quiet.

Most of the Servant Disciples wouldn’t return to the bamboo building until around 7:00 PM.

After all, the jobs assigned to Servant Disciples were heavy, not something that could be easily completed.

If it weren’t for the need to grab the next day’s work by 7:00 PM, many might return even later.

The two sisters arrived at the bamboo building and happened to encounter Shen Han walking in the courtyard.

Shen Han noticed them too, with a clear understanding in his mind.

Clearly, they were here to find him.

The three strolled around the bamboo building together.

Song Xiaobing chatted lively, treating Shen Han as a friend as usual.

On the other hand, Song Xiaodie kept nudging her sister, reminding her to be careful with her words.

After a while, seeing the clearing around, Song Xiaodie couldn’t help but stop.

Turning to look at Shen Han, her face full of apology.

"Previously, it was my fault, I ask for your forgiveness, Junior Brother Shen..."

The first sentence was an apology.

Both Song Xiaodie’s expression and tone carried sincerity.

Hearing this, Shen Han smiled.

"Senior Sister Song, no need to apologize, I understand."

Shen Han didn’t say much, but it was indeed what he thought.

He truly understood Song Xiaodie.

If he had a younger sister or a daughter, he would probably worry like her.

"Junior Brother Shen, you are sensible and can understand the feelings of us elder sisters.

But I, as a senior sister, did not do well.

I should have trusted you, Junior Brother, more.

It’s all my fault, I almost blocked Xiaobing’s opportunity.

If, because of this, I offended that senior.

My misdeeds might be unforgivable even in death..."

Compared to Song Xiaobing’s innocence, Song Xiaodie’s words had a purpose.

She was trying to bring up that "senior" to have Shen Han talk about him.

But Shen Han just smiled and shook his head.

"Although I’m not very familiar with that senior, from what I see, he should be quite generous."

Hearing this, especially that Shen Han said he wasn’t very familiar with the senior.

Song Xiaodie’s brows moved slightly.

But she quickly figured it out.

Shen Han might not be familiar with that senior, but others weren’t even acquainted, let alone familiar.

Thinking of this, Song Xiaodie hurriedly placed her prepared gift into Shen Han’s hand.

Worried that Shen Han didn’t know the value of her gift, she continuously described the Pill’s preciousness.

But Shen Han kept declining politely, refusing to accept it.

Not being able to give the gift was somewhat embarrassing.

Although he understood Song Xiaodie, Shen Han didn’t like dealing with people like her.

Seeing her sister failing to give the gift, Song Xiaobing stepped forward with a smile.

"Elder sister, I said Junior Brother Shen doesn’t need your Pill.

Take these Contribution Points instead; I’ve been saving them for a long time.

Anyway, I have you to rely on, I rarely use these Contribution Points.

Don’t you lack them to go to the Book Collection Pavilion? Use them.

Stop staying in that basement."

With that, Song Xiaobing handed her Contribution voucher to Shen Han.

It only had six hundred Contribution Points, perhaps a hundred times less valuable than the Pill.

But Shen Han accepted it.

"I’m perfectly healthy now, without any problems.

Junior Brother Shen, if you see that senior, please thank him for me.

Thank him for his help."

Song Xiaodie wanted to say more but, looking at her sister, then at Shen Han.

She knew she couldn’t speak further.

Her style did not please Shen Han.

Saying more might offend Shen Han even more.

She decided to let her sister say everything.
