Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 269 - 268: Shen Ye’s Shamelessness

Shen Ye’s eyes carried an even sharper glint of hostility.

Just like Mr. Luo said, Shen Han is currently favored, but that doesn’t mean he can always compete with me.

Maybe one day, he will meet his end.

He won’t live to see the day he surpasses me.

The thought to eradicate Shen Han is now even stronger in Shen Ye.

In a little over two months, once I return with Mr. Luo.

I will hold back no more.

Even if it means taking on a tainted reputation, I must deal with Shen Han.

Seeing Shen Ye’s determination, Luo Zuchen felt somewhat reassured.

He was actually worried that, because of this matter, he absolutely could not permit Shen Han to rise up.

After lunch, while practicing alone, Shen Ye couldn’t help but think of the decision made by the Shen Family patriarch.

Shen Ye felt stifled and uncomfortable thinking about how the family was now valuing Shen Han so highly.

...

Great Wei’s northern region.

Following the stream upwards, they finally reached the confluence point.

The end of the stream was the ravines flowing down from the surrounding mountains.

In each ravine, there was only a small amount of water.

But when combined, they formed a stream.

Su Jinyu began searching for the marks she had left.

Shi Yuezhu was watching from the side, observing and worrying about potential dangers.

Looking around, they quickly found a white tag, [Hidden Stone Door].

If nothing unexpected happens, the entrance should be here.

Shen Han didn’t say much, after all, Su Jinyu had invited him on this trip.

She had already unlocked the first barrier to the Secret Realm, so she would surely find the entrance.

Shen Han’s gaze turned to Shi Yuezhu beside him.

It seemed Shi Yuezhu was also looking at Shen Han, and their eyes met briefly before Shi Yuezhu quickly looked away.

Shi Yuezhu was now trying her best to avoid any suspicion with Shen Han.

Su Jinyu didn’t know where she got the idea that she sensed Shen Han’s intentions towards her...

Seeing Shi Yuezhu’s frequent glances toward Su Jinyu, Shen Han basically guessed the reason.

She was still worried Su Jinyu would discover some clue.

The two of them seemed almost like they were sneaking around.

Time passed.

Shen Han glanced at Su Jinyu; she was still searching, unsure of what exactly she was looking for.

Without asking much, Shen Han walked casually to the stream’s confluence.

Watching the flowing water, his mind seemed to quiet down a lot.

He picked up a withered leaf from the side and placed it on the stream.

The withered leaf drifted downstream, not knowing where it would end up, not knowing if it would reach the sea.

Su Jinyu began looking for the entrance at around 1:00 PM.

But now, over two hours had passed.

And it still hadn’t been found...

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Han couldn’t resist walking to Su Jinyu’s side.

"Is something unexpected happening?

Miss Su was only here last October; it hasn’t even been nine months, so the surroundings shouldn’t have changed that much..."

Shen Han had a hint of doubt.

In fact, Shen Han was quite confused; he saw the entrance clearly about twenty yards to the northeast.

Yet Su Jinyu was searching back and forth around the area, practically digging three feet into the ground.

Hearing Shen Han ask, Su Jinyu seemed to grow more anxious.

A trace of worry appeared on her face.

For this training, she initially intended to use this opportunity to repay the favor owed to Shen Han.

But after spending a day and a half to get there.

She couldn’t even find the entrance...

Su Jinyu felt that from Shen Han’s perspective, it must seem like she was lying...

Not too far away, Shi Yuezhu stepped forward and gently squeezed Su Jinyu’s arm.

"Don’t rush, just slowly look for the entrance.

This place isn’t that big; you’ll find it eventually."

Shi Yuezhu’s gentle voice was indeed more comforting to hear.

Su Jinyu was slightly reassured and continued to search according to her remembered location.

"I remember so clearly...

It should be right here, why is there no entrance...

There’s no way I could have forgotten..."

Su Jinyu, who bore the title of a prodigy, couldn’t possibly be so forgetful as to not remember even the entrance to the Secret Realm.

Shi Yuezhu furrowed her brow slightly; she also believed her disciple couldn’t be wrong.

If even such complex sword techniques weren’t forgotten, how could a Secret Realm entrance be mistaken?

Su Jinyu’s face grew ever more unpleasant; she even felt that Shen Han might scold her.

Wasting time, coming all the way to the northern part of Great Wei, yet finding no entrance to the Secret Realm.

The hanging red sun was now gradually setting towards the west.

If Su Jinyu continued like this, she might not find it even after nightfall.

Thinking of this, Shen Han walked ahead a bit.

Pretending to speak with some surprise.

"Moon Bamboo Peak Master, come take a look, something seems strange here."

While speaking, Shen Han bent down and completely brushed away the surface layer of the soil.

The soil was not fresh, no different from the surrounding ground, making it difficult to notice anything unusual.

Hearing Shen Han’s voice, Shi Yuezhu walked over with graceful steps.

After clearing the dirt, what lay before them was a smooth stone slab.

Clearly, something was unusual here.

Shen Han reached out and lifted the stone slab.

Underneath was a passageway, just wide enough for one person.

Seeing this, Shi Yuezhu quickly called for Su Jinyu to come over.

Su Jinyu was a bit unwilling, feeling a bit resentful, thinking the entrance must be near where she was searching, and it was impossible not to find it.

Only after Shi Yuezhu urged her again did she walk over.

Seeing the entrance before her, a more serious expression appeared on her face.

In a flash, Su Jinyu seemed to have realized something.

Without a word, she stepped into the entrance.

Shi Yuezhu saw this and quickly followed.

Continuously telling Su Jinyu to slow down, not to rush.

In the Secret Realm, anything uncanny could happen.

If she encountered any traps or mechanisms...

Su Jinyu’s impatience even made the usually gentle Shi Yuezhu slightly angry.

The passageway wasn’t long, perhaps just thirty-or-so yards.

At the end of the passageway was a rather spacious secret chamber.

Upon seeing this secret chamber, Su Jinyu wore a helpless smile.

"Master...

This is the Secret Realm I spoke of.

Originally, it should have been entered from the west side, but now, the west side has been completely buried.

Previous traces have been deliberately erased.

A new entrance was made on the east side...

Su Jinyu’s face carried a hint of mockery.

However, the person she mocked was herself.

Even if she were foolish, Su Jinyu could understand why this happened.

Besides herself, only Shen Ye knew about the Secret Realm...

Since they no longer grew close, he actually stooped this low, even altering the entrance to the Secret Realm.
