Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 304 - 303: Su Jinyu, Distraught and Dispirited

Chapter 304: Chapter 303: Su Jinyu, Distraught and Dispirited

Todays Shi Yuezhu appeared far more solemn than usual.

Su Jinyu followed by Shi Yuezhu’s side, seeming as if she had never seen her like this before.

"Shen Han... what did he say to you, Master..."

Hearing Su Jinyu’s question, Shi Yuezhu furrowed her brows even more tightly.

"Jinyu, is it necessary to be caught up in what I heard..."

Shi Yuezhu’s expression was filled with disappointment.

She had always been partial to her student, even to the point of being doting, which wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

But all of this was premised on her belief that Su Jinyu was still kind-hearted.

Nonetheless, this matter truly left Shi Yuezhu a bit heartbroken.

"In the past, I have always shielded you, stood by your side.

Even when you did something wrong, I only saw it as a bit of willfulness.

Between you and Shen Han, I have never lectured you.

This was your freedom, Jinyu—you could like someone or dislike them.

I never forced you to appreciate Shen Han or befriend him..."

At this point, Shi Yuezhu paused.

Her usual gentleness was now much sterner, even her tone underwent slight change.

"It was enough for you not to like Shen Han, Jinyu, but why harm him so?

When I learned of these things, I genuinely felt a bit unfamiliar...

Are you still my student, Jinyu..."

Faced with such questioning, Su Jinyu felt truly anxious.

"Master...

Jinyu only wanted him to help you, you really needed the Cloud Rong Grass..."

Su Jinyu was still trying to explain.

But this time, the explanation seemed futile.

"Jinyu, are you sure it was to help me?

Was it not rather to assist Shen Ye?"

With Shi Yuezhu’s words, it was clear that she knew everything.

Su Jinyu’s face turned somewhat unsightly, her mind racing to find defense.

Before she could speak, Shi Yuezhu continued:

"Jinyu, you were born into the Su Family, surrounded by love and favor.

Your father and brothers at home all protect and cherish you.

By reason, you should be more kindhearted, more compassionate...

But from what I see, you’re far colder than Shen Han.

He was bullied by the elders of the Shen Family from a young age, yet he’s not as heartless..."

It seemed to hit a nerve, prompting Su Jinyu to defend herself.

"Shen Han acted against his eldest brother, attempted assassination, is that not cold as well..."

"Speaking of which, it seems it was his eldest brother who attempted assassination first.

And that day at the exit of the Secret Realm, we both witnessed it.

I am injured because of that..."

As Shi Yuezhu spoke, her tone revealed even more disappointment.

"The grudges of the Shen Family should not be mentioned anymore.

If your heart is set on Shen Ye, then return to the Capital City and stay by his side."

These words from Shi Yuezhu stunned Su Jinyu.

After a while, she stuttered, "Master... are you abandoning Jinyu..."

Her words even carried a slight tremor.

"You are unwilling to heed my words, so why continue following me..."

Shi Yuezhu’s tone carried a coldness that Su Jinyu had never before heard.

Su Jinyu was somewhat frightened, staring directly at Shi Yuezhu with her eyes shining.

"Master..."

"I am now injured, incapable of thoroughly teaching you.

Leave Moon Bamboo Peak, contemplate your own cultivation method."

Shi Yuezhu didn’t say anything harsh, but her intent to send her away was clear.

"Master, Jinyu doesn’t wish to leave you...

Jinyu was wrong..."

Seeing Shi Yuezhu grow more resolute, Su Jinyu became even more afraid.

"Not everything can be brushed aside with a mere apology.

The Land of the Far South is filled with toxins, even Immortal Realm experts won’t tread lightly.

If Shen Han went there, he’d be in grave danger.

Your actions were indeed aiding Shen Ye to eliminate Shen Han."

The words became more forceful, unexpectedly so to Su Jinyu.

In all her time with her master, Su Jinyu had truly never seen her speak this way.

"Master..."

"Go back."

"Can Jinyu see Master again..."

Shi Yuezhu stood up; although there was reluctance in her eyes, the primary emotion was disappointment.

"If Shen Han is safe and sound, then yes.

If not, then our master-student bond might as well... end here..."

With that, Shi Yuezhu walked to the courtyard without stopping.

After taking a few steps, she paused: "Jinyu, you should have your own judgment of Shen Ye’s character.

Always worrying over him, how has it benefited you? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

His heart is selfish; even if he becomes powerful, what difference does it make?

You will still gain nothing..."

With those words, Shi Yuezhu turned and went inside, saying no more.

It is hard to advise those who are destined for a fall.

If Su Jinyu truly listened to advice, she wouldn’t have ended up here.

Shi Yuezhu’s coldness towards her wasn’t because of favoritism towards Shen Ye or siding with him.

She had meaningful exchanges with Shen Ye, understanding Jinyu’s attachment.

But she shouldn’t have lost that bit of kindness. In the past, her willfulness still carried concern.

This time, she directly aided Shen Ye.

In her heart, she wished for Shen Han’s demise.

For Shen Ye’s sake, Su Jinyu had already lost her compassion and begun defying her master’s orders.

This time, Shi Yuezhu was truly heartbroken...

Outside the courtyard, Su Jinyu stood unmoved.

A night came and went, followed by another day.

An attendant hurriedly walked out from the courtyard.

"Sister Jinyu, you should leave quickly. The Peak Master is in a rage.

Persisting in defying her orders will only anger her further..."

Su Jinyu lifted her head, trying to argue, but her mouth opened with no words forthcoming.

"Master, she..."

"Sister Jinyu, it’s best that you head back; this time, the Peak Master is truly angry.

If you don’t leave by noon, the Law Enforcement Disciples will come.

It would be embarrassing then..."

Hearing this, Su Jinyu’s face filled with bitterness.

To be driven away by the Law Enforcement Disciples, had it come to this...

"I understand. Please tell my master that Jinyu still thinks of her..."

With those words, Su Jinyu finally began moving her feet, heading away.

Her whole being seemed a bit lost and forlorn.

The originally lively face had lost its color.

Seated in her carriage, she hesitated, unsure of her direction.

Though Su Jinyu had excellent talent in Sword Dao, finding an Immortal Realm master was not easy.

Moreover, what of Shi Yuezhu’s identity?

The first Female Sword Immortal to enter the Immortal Realm in the Sword Dao lineage.

Even disregarding gender, Shi Yuezhu’s age upon entering the Immortal Realm far surpassed others.

This alone proved the mystery in Shi Yuezhu’s cultivation methods.

And having entered the Immortal Realm for just over a year,

she could already hold her own against seasoned experts like Luo Zuchen, demonstrating Shi Yuezhu’s excellence.
