Chapter 290: Chapter 289: News Spreads, Shen Ye Assassinated

Luo Zuchen, being an Immortal Realm expert, is considered knowledgeable and experienced.

Yet, upon hearing Shen Ye’s words, even he was somewhat shocked.

With just a wave of the hand, he could break through the abnormal phenomenon summoned by Shen Ye.

Luo Zuchen knew well that if he suppressed his power to the Fifth Grade, even at the Fruit Realm, he wouldn’t dare claim to break through the phenomenon so easily.

"Mr. Luo, if Shen Han had previously been able to break through those phenomena of mine.

During the previous academy competition, he should have been able to break my ink brush avatar and the phenomenon it summoned.

But at that time, he seemed not to have this level of ability..."

Shen Ye expressed his hypothesis.

Luo Zuchen, being a clever man, immediately understood what he meant.

"Ye’er, are you saying that he acquired this mysterious cultivation technique during the Secret Realm training with Su Jinyu?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye nodded in agreement.

Upon reflection, it seemed entirely plausible.

"Thus, Ye’er, you should try to contact Su Jinyu through the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact.

If she still keeps your artifact, it would imply she still thinks of you.

Take the chance to ask what Shen Han learned in the Secret Realm."

Upon hearing this, an uncommon expression of embarrassment appeared on Shen Ye’s face.

"Mr. Luo, I treated Su Jinyu that way before; she probably harbors deep resentment...

Asking her might not yield any result..."

Luo Zuchen shook his head, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"You youngsters have little understanding of a woman’s thoughts.

On the day at the Secret Realm entrance, the things Su Jinyu said clearly showed that she hasn’t let go of you.

If you manage to contact her through the artifact, she clearly hasn’t forgotten you.

Feign weakness, say Shen Han ambushed you, and your injuries were severe.

Adopt a tone of weakness in your words, and it will be easy to sway her."

After hearing Luo Zuchen’s words, Shen Ye nodded thoughtfully.

If so, it indeed may be worth a try.

After a night of fermentation, the news quickly spread throughout Capital City.

The genius student of Mountain Sea Academy, the talented descendant of the Shen Family, encountered an assassination attempt.

The specifics of the injuries were vague, unclear.

Upon receiving the news, Dean Tianyi and Mr. Zhong Nan immediately rushed to Shen Han’s residence.

Seeing Shen Han had returned, they finally felt somewhat at ease.

Shen Han quickly invited the two to sit in the living room and brewed a pot of good tea.

"Good, as long as you’ve returned, as long as you’ve returned, I thought you were still resting outside the city.

This is a tumultuous time; make sure not to leave the academy, not even a Half-Step."

Dean Tianyi’s face showed some concern, with a hint of lingering fear.

Having finally recruited a top-notch genius like Shen Han, he couldn’t let anything happen to Shen Han.

At Tianyi Academy, if something happened to Shen Han, it wasn’t just the loss of a genius student.

It would further prove that Tianyi Academy still lacked the ability to cultivate top talents.

In the coming decades, potential geniuses wouldn’t even glance at Tianyi Academy.

Hearing the dean speak so seriously, Shen Han feigned a confused expression and asked.

"Dean, Mr. Zhong, did something major happen to the academy?"

"Not the academy, but you encountered a major incident."

Dean Tianyi’s tone was extremely serious, seemingly to caution Shen Han.

"Your elder brother Shen Ye encountered an assassination attempt and was rumored to be injured.

With Luo Zuchen’s personality, he’s sure to go mad.

Even if he can’t find the culprit or present evidence, he may act based on his own suspicions.

You had offended him before, and now that he’s going crazy, he might direct the blame toward you.

So remember, do not leave the academy!"

Dean Tianyi emphasized again.

However, Shen Han showed little reaction to this but followed up with a question.

"Dean, is my elder brother Shen Ye gravely injured?"

"Uncertain, rumors say it wasn’t critical, but it will take a few months to recover."

Shen Han thoughtfully nodded: "I see..."

While speaking, a hint of regret appeared on his face.

Seeing Shen Han like this, Dean Tianyi felt even more helpless.

"You seem to be wishing for your elder brother’s demise...

But do you realize Shen Ye’s injury will prompt Luo Zuchen to resort to severe retaliations?

Even though Shen Ye is injured, and you feel some relief, the threat from Luo Zuchen will only intensify."

What Dean Tianyi stated is proven through practice.

Anyone who previously offended Luo Zuchen didn’t end up well.

Most ended up at least disabled.

Of course, Luo Zuchen also faces punishment or even harsh penalties for his actions.

But he fears no punishment; shortly after getting hurt, he seems to recover anew.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han remained composed.

"Dean, I must disagree with your statement.

I believe, after this incident, Shen Ye won’t dare to act as recklessly.

He will start to have concerns, to worry about his safety.

Previously he went out for training without a second thought.

He could cultivate according to his own intentions.

But now, he will worry.

When going out for training, he would likely take Luo Zuchen along to ensure his safety.

As such, the chances of Luo Zuchen making a move will actually diminish.

For me, this is actually safer."

Hearing Shen Han’s analysis, Dean Tianyi carefully considered it, and it seemed quite reasonable...

"Luo Zuchen has long harbored intentions to kill me, whether Shen Ye is dead or alive from this incident makes no difference to me.

To speak plainly, I would rather Shen Ye died because of this."

Only in front of his own people would Shen Han speak like this.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhong Nan quickly waved his hands.

"Don’t speak such words, rumor has it Luo Zuchen is spreading lies, claiming Shen Ye was assassinated by you, Shen Han.

To justify taking action against you."

"Do people believe it outside?"

"Of course not, although you are outstanding, attempting assassination from a Fifth Grade First Snow Realm to a Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm is indeed irrational..."

Shen Han nodded, it matched his expectations; the outside wouldn’t believe it.

After clarifying with Shen Han, Dean Tianyi and Mr. Zhong Nan left.

As they walked, they suddenly seemed to remember something.

Exchanging a glance...

"Dean, the kid Shen Han previously asked me for Shen Ye’s cultivation schedule...

Said he wanted to study and learn..."

Dean Tianyi also looked serious: "A few days ago, he asked me to take him to see the Mountain Sea Academy’s training grounds...

The assassination supposedly happened on the way to the training grounds..."

As they spoke, they exchanged another glance.

"Blah blah blah, what am I saying, absolutely none of this happened..."

"I was also speaking nonsense just now..."
