Regarding Tiger Peak Manor’s protective nature, Elder Sizhi mentioned it at least three times in front of me.
The reputation of Tiger Peak Manor for protecting its own is quite widespread.
But what does it matter if they protect theirs? I protect my own.
Tiger Peak Manor helped Shen Ao and acted against my family.
They can act against me, but I can’t retaliate?
Shen Han was aware, yet he didn’t refute in front of Elder Sizhi.
Saying some harsh words only causes worry without any real benefit.
"When are we leaving to go back?"
"Should be in the next few days, might need to prepare a bit more."
Elder Sizhi nodded, contemplating something.
"Take some basic cultivation techniques back with you; old methods are difficult, the new cultivation system might be useful.
Your relatives lack the talent for old methods.
Let them practice calming techniques for their benefit.
Also, take this."
While speaking, Elder Sizhi handed over a scroll.
"I can’t confirm its authenticity; I’ve only heard that there’s advanced techniques for old cultivation here.
If you get a chance, you can try your luck."
Shen Han accepted the scroll, noticing its yellow, faded appearance, indicating its age.
It’s clear that effort was made to preserve this scroll.
Otherwise, the writing on it would have completely disappeared.
Everything that needed to be said had already been discussed, and before leaving Elder Sizhi asked Shen Han to notify him.
Back at his residence, Shen Han immediately closed the courtyard door.
Today, seeing that stone, there was a revelation in his heart.
Thoughts lead to the Dao, realizing there’s still a thought within.
Only through understanding can one approach the Dao.
In reflection, Shen Han was already immersed in the realm of consciousness.
This day’s insight needed to be carved into his heart, repeatedly contemplated.
Meanwhile, Shen Han gained more insight into the power of top experts.
The top experts of the Southern Heaven Continent, with just one thought, forced him to use all his strength to respond.
Perhaps the people of Tiger Peak Manor weren’t as formidable as the one who left that knife scar.
But if faced with an enemy, they wouldn’t use just one thought to attack him.
In the sea of knowledge, Shen Han was still immersed in the realm of consciousness.
Staining his determined intent piece by piece on his obsession.
As darkness fell and night descended.
Only then did Shen Han take out the sound transmission magical artifact and communicate with Madam Yun.
Upon receiving a response, Shen Han softly asked where they were, and Madam Yun calmly responded that they were at Yun Mansion.
The response was direct, without any hesitation, very calm.
"Child, it’s so late, you sound transmission just to ask where we are?
The sky is dark, if we’re not at home, where else would we be?"
After responding, Madam Yun softly reprimanded Shen Han twice.
"Cailing’Er and I are not practitioners, we won’t practice day and night like you folks."
This kind of counterargument was even more misleading.
Yet hearing this, Shen Han simply responded with silence.
After a while, seeing Shen Han still not replying, Madam Yun’s tone finally weakened a bit.
"Han, what’s wrong..."
"I know everything."
Just five simple words, the casual tone Madam Yun feigned earlier fell away at that moment.
Struggling to maintain composure, she still asked: "Han, what do you know?"
"Last night, I communicated with Dean Tianyi, and he told me everything he knew.
Was it Shen Ao leading Tiger Peak Manor’s people here?"
