Chapter 447 - 443: Brother Shen, Did I Really Offend Senior Sister Jiang?

The waiting time passed somewhat quickly.

After resting for six days, Li Li discovered that Yi Xingshan had mostly recovered when examining his body.

The hysteria that day, although a symptom of heart thought, had caused his body to twitch in various abnormal ways, injuring himself physically.

However, the results now were all good.

Originally planning not to return to the Celestial Sword Sect, Yi Xingshan now felt more anticipation about returning.

He was eager to showcase his increased strength in front of his fellow sect members.

He hoped to make his father proud of him.

While thinking, Yi Xingshan thought of Shen Han again.

Now, he instead hoped Shen Han would ask for more favors.

After all, Shen Han’s kindness to him was a life-saving grace worthy of a lifetime of repayment.

Asking him to accompany him to meet Su Jinyu seemed too small a request.

After deciding to return today, Yi Xingshan went to ask Shen Han’s opinion.

Shen Han had no objections; they could depart at any time.

After the two discussed, Yi Xingshan went to bid farewell to Li Li.

During this period, she had taken great care of him.

Past noon, both were ready to head to the Celestial Sword Sect.

As they were about to leave, Jiang Ling’Er came over.

"With our Ling’Er returning alone to the Celestial Sword Sect, I, as the little aunt, worry quite a bit.

I’ll have to trouble you two nobles to take good care of her and return to the Celestial Sword Sect together."

Seeing that Shen Han did not say anything, Yi Xingshan agreed.

Including the old servant, the four of them set off together.

Now that Yi Xingshan’s identity was already exposed, there was no need to keep a low profile.

With a wave of his hand, the old servant summoned a gigantic wooden ship.

Inside the ship were several exquisitely decorated guest rooms.

This magical artifact allowed for comfortable rest while on the journey.

Upon boarding, Shen Han couldn’t help but examine the magical artifact ship closely.

If he had the chance, he wanted to get one himself.

Under the old servant’s command, the wooden ship rode the wind and sailed towards the Celestial Sword Sect.

On the wooden ship, Shen Han walked around a couple of times, admiring the enormous magical artifact.

Soon, the old servant, bent over, approached Shen Han.

"Young Master Shen, our Young Master would like to ask which guest room you’d prefer to stay in.

There are exactly three guest rooms on the ship, please choose first."

The old servant’s tone was very amiable.

Perhaps thinking back to his previous attitude towards Shen Han, he still felt a bit guilty.

After all, Shen Han wanted to save his young master, yet he had scorned him at the time.

"I’m fine with anything; any guest room will do.

Also, old Earl, you need not feel guilty. I don’t mind what happened before.

Moreover, it’s normal to worry when a stranger intends to apply needles on one’s young master."

Shen Han comforted him with his words.

Hearing this, the old servant felt somewhat relieved.

But the guilt in his heart didn’t lessen, as he still felt a bit unjust to Shen Han.

It would take about two and a half days to reach the Celestial Sword Sect by magical artifact.

In his leisure time, Shen Han would occasionally discuss sword dao with Yi Xingshan.

The Celestial Sword Sect was entirely a sword dao sect, with the whole sect practicing as sword cultivators.

The sect fostered a strong atmosphere of sword dao cultivation.

During their discussion, Jiang Ling’Er initially sat at a distance.

Gradually, she began moving closer, occasionally chiming in with a few sentences.

Soon, Jiang Ling’Er sat down, joining the two in discussing sword dao training.

While conversing, she unknowingly inched closer to Shen Han.

Their distance gradually decreased until there were roughly only two hand spans left between them.

It appeared as though Shen Han and Jiang Ling’Er were sitting together, discussing with Yi Xingshan.

This gave Jiang Ling’Er a somewhat subtle feeling.

After a moment, Shen Han, uncertain of his intentions, shifted further away.

Shen Han didn’t overthink it; he merely felt it inappropriate to sit too close to others.

But this movement caused Jiang Ling’Er’s expression to fall instantly.

Despite a pleasant discussion, in the next moment, she stood up and returned to her room.

Her footsteps, even as she left, were noticeably heavy.

Seeing this, Yi Xingshan was completely baffled.

"What’s wrong with Senior Sister Jiang..."

Yi Xingshan looked up at Shen Han, utterly perplexed.

"Did I say something wrong...?"

Yi Xingshan asked weakly. Although older than Shen Han, he had long immersed himself in cultivation.

His understanding of a woman’s heart was indeed lacking.

"Brother Shen, should I go apologize?"

Yi Xingshan looked at Shen Han and asked softly.

"No need, it’s likely not something you said.

Perhaps she had some insights and wanted to return to her room for focused study."

Shen Han watched Jiang Ling’Er’s departing figure, slightly furrowing his brow, offering Yi Xingshan an excuse.

Compared to Yi Xingshan’s confusion, Shen Han seemed to have a faint understanding.

It seemed he had inadvertently offended her...

Regarding interactions between men and women, Shen Han wasn’t entirely clueless and reserved.

Through words and actions, he could perceive those emotions...

Still, Shen Han found it baffling.

He had barely spoken with Jiang Ling’Er, and previously, she often belittled him with her words.

Saying he was inferior to Fu Tianqi, lacking in both talent and potential.

So why suddenly, towards him...

These thoughts whirred in Shen Han’s mind, but he didn’t voice them.

Perhaps he had misjudged—Jiang Ling’Er might not have any other feelings for him.

After sulking for two two-hour periods, Jiang Ling’Er eventually came out for dinner.

Sitting together at the table for dinner.

But this time, whether intentionally or not, Shen Han sat even further away from her.

Women are always more sensitive than men.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ling’Er felt filled more with emotion than food.

After hurriedly eating some snacks, she returned to her room in a huff.

"Brother Shen, it’s truly not something I did to offend Senior Sister Jiang...

Why is she acting like this again..."

Yi Xingshan looked helpless and seemed unable to grasp the situation.

He even momentarily wondered if the meals offered by his old servant were unappetizing.

"Women’s thoughts are hard to guess, so let’s not bother."

This suggestion by Shen Han seemed good, and Yi Xingshan nodded along.

In half a day, they’d reach the Celestial Sword Sect.

Shen Han had come this time solely to ask Su Jinyu some questions.

In her room, Jiang Ling’Er continued to fume in silence.

Her little aunt had advised her to be proactive towards Shen Han, hinting at the saying of how a woman’s pursuit of a man is like a gossamer layer.

To Li Li, Jiang Ling’Er was not only quite attractive but also a direct disciple of the Celestial Sword Sect.

If she took the initiative, Shen Han had no reason to refuse.

Jiang Ling’Er hadn’t expected her forwardness to be met this way.

As she approached, Shen Han chose not only to distance himself but thereafter kept a deliberate distance.
