Chu Yuanâerâs junior brothers and sisters were all filled with righteous indignation.
It seemed like Shen Han was such a villain who forced women.
"Everyone, what happened today is truly a misunderstanding.
I, Shen Han, have no ulterior motives towards the two fairies.
In my heart, thereâs already someone else, and Iâve long made a lifelong promise with her.
Senior Yuyou, please trust me this once..."
At this moment, Shen Han felt both helpless and speechless.
Senior Yuyou beside him seemed to have layered anger in his heart.
His gaze turned to Dean Chu, and though they were friends, Dean Chu made him quite displeased today.
With the help of the Golden Profound Pill, Senior Yuyou was now confident in his own strength.
Even if all the experts from the top sects in the Inner Domain were brought out.
To speak conservatively, Yuyou believed he was at least in the top five.
Dean Chu before him clearly had favors to ask from him.
Yet, those disciples of Yu Palace even dared to act this way.
In the back garden, it wasnât just them.
There were also many servants and attendants.
Who knows, these rumors might spread in a few two-hours.
By then, perhaps the entire Inner Domain would hear about it.
A disciple of Yu Palace favored Young Master Fengwei of Qianyang Palace, openly rejecting Celestial Sword Sectâs matchmaking...
For Celestial Sword Sect, it would surely become a subject of ridicule.
At this moment, Dean Chuâs gaze was filled with sternness, even with a trace of anger.
"It seems like three months of confinement was too little. After returning, everyone will be confined for a year."
This visit was initially a mission for Dean Chu.
Yu Palace currently needed the help of Yuyou.
It was originally a good opportunity to strengthen bonds, but now, it ended up like this.
"Dean Chu, our Celestial Sword Sectâs garden is really too small to accommodate everyone from Yu Palace.
This old man wonât keep you, please excuse yourselves.
If thereâs nothing pressing, please come less often to our Celestial Sword Sect in the future.
If thereâs anything, please go to Qianyang Palace instead."
Yuyouâs words were quite heavy.
The relationship between Yu Palace and Celestial Sword Sect had always been good.
Instead, Fengwei, whom Chu Yuanyuan was fond of, had an ordinary relationship with both Qianyang Palace and Yu Palace.
"Sect Leader Yu, donât get angry, these kids donât understand.
They mess around all the time in the sect..."
Dean Chuâs explanation was interrupted as Chu Yuanâer suddenly stepped forward.
She walked to Shen Hanâs side, seemingly wanting to reach out to him.
Perceiving her intention, Shen Han quickly dodged away.
With a face full of bewilderment.
But she didnât look at Shen Han and instead turned to Dean Chu.
"I beg the Dean not to punish the junior brothers and sisters; Yuanâer is willing to follow the Deanâs arrangement.
Whomever the Dean wants Yuanâer to get close to, Yuanâer will get close to.
No matter how lacking the person is, it doesnât matter; Yuanâer will follow your arrangement."
Chu Yuanâerâs words were not submission.
It was rather a stronger confrontation.
In Dean Chuâs heart, anger surged, almost wanting to punish.
In fact, she had always known the conflict between Chu Yuanâer and Chu Yuanyuan.
But she hadnât expected the two of them would act this way in front of outsiders, putting her, the dean, in an embarrassing situation.
Standing aside, Shen Han couldnât help but furrow his brows tightly.
He clearly hadnât done anything, but amidst their quarrel, he was constantly belittled.
Beside him, Yuyouâs eyes squinted slightly, even having the intent to act.
"Everyone, I, Shen Han, say it once again.
I already have someone in mind; todayâs incident is purely a misunderstanding.
The conflicts between your Yu Palace disciples, please resolve them on your own.
Involving outsiders like us canât solve your conflicts."
Shen Han no longer maintained his previous composure, his words carried criticism and reproach without hiding it.
It was plainly visible to everyone.
Chu Yuanâer said these words, mostly because of Dean Chuâs favoritism.
She was venting her anger.
But venting is one thing; why drag others into it?
As Shen Han finished speaking, Chu Yuanâer immediately turned to Shen Han.
"Youâre saying this to save some face for yourself, arenât you?
You probably didnât expect that not only does my sister Yuanyuan look down on you,
but even I, Chu Yuanâer, am unwilling, right?
Young Master Shen, do you have any merits other than being good-looking?
Even without mentioning someone like Young Master Fengwei, who is a dragon among men, the direct disciples of the Inner Domain sects should all surpass you by a long shot.
Sister Yuanyuan can approach Young Master Fengwei, why should I settle for someone like you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Yuanâerâs junior brothers and sisters chimed in one after another.
In their words, they all echoed Chu Yuanâerâs sentiments.
Hearing this, Chu Yuanyuan gave her a cold glance.
"You want to know why?
The reason is simple: because your strength is inferior to mine, and so is your talent.
Chu Yuanâer, someone like you is only fit for him."
Two women contending, and unexpectedly, the one hurt was Shen Han.
It seemed Shen Han became the lowest standard.
Within Yu Palace, lesser women would settle for Shen Han, while the outstanding ones would approach a prodigy like Fengwei.
Beside them, Senior Yuyouâs face was full of indifference.
Turning to Dean Chu, he said coldly, "Show them out."
If it werenât for the former friendship, Yuyou really would have thrown them all out.
The cultivation techniques of Yu Palace were beneficial to those around.
But this benefit wasnât enough for others to beg and curry favor for closeness.
Among the top experts of the Inner Domain, none relied on Yu Palace disciplesâ techniques to reach that point.
Dean Chu, who was driven away by Senior Yuyouâs cold words, had a livid face.
Todayâs incident, to put it simply, was due to her lack of authority.
The disciples in the sect dared to make such a scene in public.
The plans she had in mind were almost completely in vain.
Amidst her anxiety and distress, Chu Yuanyuan and Chu YuanâEr were still quietly belittling each other.
They argued over who was more suitable for Fengwei, and who should be paired with Shen Han.
The voices werenât loud, but who among the present experts couldnât hear it?
In the garden, the attendants, following Yuyouâs words, stepped forward to send the guests away.
At the garden entrance, Su Jinyu and Shi Yuezhu walked in at this moment.
Upon seeing the two, the tightly furrowed brows of Shen Han finally relaxed.
He quickly stepped forward to greet them.
As Shen Han walked ahead, everyone present couldnât help but turn their heads to look.
They naturally knew Su Jinyu, but the woman accompanying her was someone they had never met before.
Without any hesitation, Shen Han walked to Shi Yuezhuâs side.
Before Su Jinyu could introduce them, Shen Han immediately spoke.
"Senior Yuyou, Sect Leader, this is Shi Yuezhu.
She is the one Iâve told you about, the woman I canât stop thinking about...
You didnât believe me before, but now that youâve seen her in person, you should believe it, right..."
Upon hearing Shen Han introduce her, Shi Yuezhu also greeted everyone with a polite nod and addressed them as "seniors".
Compared to the age of Yuyou and Yu Chou, Shi Yuezhu was certainly much younger.
Addressing them as seniors was appropriate.
Seeing Shi Yuezhuâs arrival, Yuyou and the others felt a bit awkward for a moment.
They had really thought before that Shen Han was just making excuses.
But now, faced with Shi Yuezhu, whose aura was extraordinary and appearance stunning,
if he had found someone just to save face temporarily, it wouldnât have been possible to find such an ethereal fairy in such a short time...
Chu Yuanyuanâs looks were considered attractive, at least eye-catching.
Meanwhile, her dissatisfied counterpart, Chu YuanâEr, was slightly less appealing.
But anyone with eyes could see that compared to Shi Yuezhu, Chu Yuanyuan and Chu YuanâEr were not even close.
The members of Yu Palace, originally prepared to leave, were all stunned for a moment.
Even Chu Yuanyuan and Chu YuanâEr themselves could see it.
This Shi Yuezhu, with her aura and appearance...
"Sect Leader, why did you call Shen Han here? Is it something urgent?
We only learned he was here after coming across Vice Sect Leader Yi."
Su Jinyu asked, but Shen Han rushed to answer.
"Senior Yuyou and the Sect Leader were introducing me to potential partners...
I explained several times, but they wouldnât believe me and thought I was just evading them.
These two fairies from Yu Palace were introduced by Senior Yuyou.
But itâs okay, neither fairy fancies me."
Shen Han spoke with a light-hearted tone.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyuâs face was full of surprise, "They donât fancy you?
Do they not know the name Shen Han?"
As she spoke, Su Jinyu turned to look at the members of Yu Palace.
"Stepping into the 22nd Layer of Forbidden Land in Snow Mountain House, a coveted son-in-law they couldnât get, and you all disdain him?"
Hearing this, the members of Yu Palace were stunned once again.
Over half a year ago, they also heard this news.
Someone during the training in Snow Mountain House had reached the highest 22nd Layer, and the Inner Domain spread it as someone with the best talent among the young generation.
Yet just now, Chu Yuanyuan and Chu YuanâEr were both eager to push Shen Han away.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Su Jinyu smiled once more.
"You disdain him as well, but even if you didnât, he wouldnât choose you~"
As she spoke, Su Jinyu glanced at her Sect Leader.
Yuyouâs face showed a bit of embarrassment.
With an apologetic look, she turned to Shi Yuezhu.
"Young friend, donât be upset. We two old fools thought Shen Han returned alone.
Thinking he was by himself, thatâs why...
If we had known Shen Han had such a good choice, we wouldnât have been so superfluous."
After Yuyou finished speaking, Yu Chou also nodded.
"We two old fools were indeed short-sighted. With a partner as you, introducing others to Shen Han only does him harm.
You can rest assured, if Shen Han ever dares to bully you, we two old men will surely stand by your side."
Yuyouâs words carried some mockery towards the members of Yu Palace.
The members of Yu Palace who hadnât left, especially Chu YuanâErâs junior disciples, looked very uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu couldnât help but smile again.
"Rest assured, Sect Leader, Shen Han wouldnât dare to bully the Moon Bamboo Peak Master, and even if he did, he doesnât have the capability.
Moon Bamboo Peak Master is a True Immortal Realm expert.
If Shen Han isnât the one being bullied, it would be surprising."
Su Jinyuâs words left both Yuyou and Yu Chou surprised.
"True... True Immortal Realm?
Is she your former master?"
Yuyou suddenly thought of something.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu nodded as well.
They had heard that Shen Han admired Su Jinyuâs former master but assumed it was someone like Hall Master Sun.
Seeing Shi Yuezhu today, they hadnât made that connection.
Now they understood why Shen Han was so smitten with Su Jinyuâs former master...
Although both had been Su Jinyuâs mentors, the disparity in appearance between Hall Master Sun and Shi Yuezhu was just too great.
"Young friend Yuezhu, are you also a dedicated sword practitioner?"
Yuyou had heard before that Su Jinyuâs Sword Dao also had a lineage.
"Junior hails from Xiaoyao Peak, a Sword Dao sect similar to Celestial Sword Sect."
As she spoke, a surge of Sword Qi emerged.
Those who wield swords could comprehend the Sword Intent within the Sword Qi.
More distinctly, was the Immortal Realm aura within the Sword Qi.
