After returning from Prince Qingyuanâs courtyard, Shen Han rested in his own room.
Nowadays, more and more people want to meet him.
He doesnât have the ability to meet everyone; if he did, there would be no time for cultivation.
He stayed huddled in his small room.
Besides cultivating and recuperating, he would also communicate with Madam Yun and Shi Yuezhu through voice transmission when he had time.
Madam Yun was very happy every day.
The former Shen Han only had astonishing talent in cultivation, and barring any surprises, would achieve great things in the future.
But in fact, there was no need to wait for the future.
Shen Han had already achieved great accomplishments at the Ten Nations Grand Competition.
Many who didnât understand the relationship still sent portraits of their daughters to Dean Tianyi.
Those who truly understood Shen Han had already sent portraits to the Yun Mansion in Yunâan City.
Madam Yun often looked through these portraits at home.
This one was lively and playful, that one was dignified and graceful...
But she also understood that these were only for viewing.
She was very clear about Shen Hanâs nature.
Once he set his heart on Shi Yuezhu, how could he possibly consider anyone else?
To be fair, Shi Yuezhu had protected Shen Han many times.
Besides the mismatch in age and status, they matched well in other respects.
Madam Yun was also very discerning and did not suggest to Shen Han to find another woman.
She only mentioned that many aristocratic families were now sending portraits to the Yun Mansion.
Aside from communicating with Madam Yun,
At night, Shen Han would quietly communicate with Shi Yuezhu via voice transmission.
If others heard their conversations, they would surely feel suffocated.
Their words were always half-hidden, making it hard for others to understand what they were trying to say.
But the two of them enjoyed it and could talk for a long time.
Shi Yuezhu actually knew a lot, having read many ancient books.
But when talking with Shen Han, he could always tell her something new she hadnât heard before.
Sometimes, she didnât even know if Shen Han was joking to make her happy or if there was truth to what he said.
During their talks, Shen Han also inquired about the Personal Array and the cultivation of the "Unceasing Skill."
By his estimation, she should have learned them by now.
But hearing Shen Hanâs inquiry, Shi Yuezhuâs tone was tinged with helplessness.
Even with her high comprehension in cultivation, it was impossible to learn these profound skills quickly.
Cultivating techniques and various skills.
Itâs not something you learn immediately after understanding or comprehending it.
Mastering these techniques requires long periods of practice and study.
Not everyone learns as quickly as Shen Han does.
Especially when it comes to the Path of Array.
When listening to Shen Hanâs teaching, Shi Yuezhu found it quite simple and easy to understand.
But when truly practicing, it wasnât that simple.
To precisely control every detail of the array, the slightest mistake could prevent it from forming.
Itâs not something that can be mastered overnight.
Shi Yuezhu even expressed some complaints, feeling Shen Han was too harsh on her.
How could it be learned so quickly; she was doing well just getting started.
Deep into the night, Shen Han reflected upon this.
He always thought his achievements today were solely due to that mystical ability to extract entries.
But in fact, he could quickly grasp any cultivation technique.
As long as he could comprehend its deep meaning, there was basically no technique he couldnât learn.
From this point of view, it was also a great advantage.
After all, with even a cultivation genius like Shi Yuezhu learning slowly, he must have some talent.
During their conversation, Shi Yuezhu also mentioned,
Under the medicinal effects of the Cloud Rong Grass, she was recovering well.
Within three to four months, she should fully recover.
She originally wanted to visit Tianyi Academy to meet Shen Han.
But at this stage, it would be quite troublesome.
Shen Han turned down many visits, meeting only Shi Yuezhu.
He didnât mind, but she feared it would stir rumors.
Aside from these matters, most of Shen Hanâs time was still spent in cultivation.
His encounter with Zhu Mingxiang in Ming City was also something worth pondering deeply.
Zhu Mingxiang already had Fifth Grade Fruit Realm strength, yet she still lost.
This required a clearer understanding of his strength.
Perhaps he already had the ability to directly surpass Shen Ye.
...
Yunâan City, Shen Mansion.
At present, the Shen Mansion had been fully taken over by Patriarch Shen Qingshan.
For the younger generation of the Shen Family, this period was utterly despairing.
In the past, life was so free and easy.
They had little talent for cultivation and having Eighth Grade strength was already quite good.
In Yunâan City, this strength was enough.
But for some unknown reason, Shen Qingshan suddenly believed the Shen Family had an undiscovered genius.
He thought it was because they hadnât been valued enough in the past, preventing them from improving.
Now that he was in charge, he imposed strict requirements for the younger generation to reach their potential.
Every-day, the Shen familyâs younger members were dejected and exhausted.
They knew the reason was Shen Hanâs sudden rise to prominence.
This overlooked junior had suddenly reached such heights.
Shen Qingshan would naturally assume there were other geniuses in the family.
The younger generation of the Shen Family harbored resentment, especially towards Shen Han.
But their dissatisfaction couldnât be voiced.
Todayâs Shen Han was no longer the one they could bully at will.
During the Ten Nations Grand Competition, Shen Hanâs astonishing achievements won ten vehicles of resources for Great Wei.
Not only did his fame spread throughout the Capital City, but in Yunâan City, his name echoed everywhere, almost being regarded as a hero.
If words criticizing Shen Han spread, it would certainly bring trouble upon themselves.
Many merchants in Yunâan City actually knew Shen Han.
When he was poor, Shen Han would occasionally buy leftovers that hadnât sold.
The quality might have been an issue, but they were cheap.
Because of these actions, Yunâan City knew Shen Han was not well received in the Shen Mansion.
His life was miserable, like that of a servant.
But now, his hard days were over.
Shen Han not only grew stronger but also began to earn merits, bringing honor to Great Wei.
Because of these events, the Shen Family in Yunâan City became a laughingstock.
The junior once belittled and bullied was now gaining fame and honor.
Yet it had little to do with the Shen Family.
Shen Han might even consider revenge for past grievances.
At that moment, in the ancestral hall of the Shen Mansion.
Shen Qingshan had long received those messages, regarding Shen Han.
Previously labeled as "inauspicious," Shen Han was maliciously targeted by the Shen family.
They spread words externally, even writing letters to slander him further.
