c653: 631: The Elders’ Praise

At dawn, Shen Han finally stepped out of the Book Collection Pavilion.

A whole night’s reading, nearly thirty books were perused.

With the ability to extract keywords, Shen Han felt his reading speed was fast enough.

But compared to the vast ocean of books, the gap was still too large.

Towards cultivation, Shen Han always held a sense of reverence in his heart.

Although he himself did not practice this new cultivation system, Shen Han still regarded it seriously in his heart.

He would not recklessly belittle it.

The new cultivation system prevailing across the entire Southern Heaven Continent and pushing the old method to extinction.

It was enough to prove its superiority, Shen Han certainly would not look down on the entire new cultivation system just because he won once against Tang Chenyang.

Coming out from the Book Collection Pavilion, Shen Han attracted some attention while walking down the street today.

Many people were pointing and whispering, seemingly wanting to talk about what Shen Han did.

Yesterday’s duel between a servant disciple and a direct disciple had indeed made Shen Han’s name known far and wide.

Upon reaching the inn where he often stayed, Song Xiaodie and Song Xiaobing, the two sisters, were already waiting there.

Song Xiaobing directly dragged Shen Han toward the sisters’ small courtyard.

Inner Sect disciples only needed to provide enough contribution points to settle a small courtyard in Five Immortals City.

Five Immortals City is large enough to accommodate so many courtyards.

"Taste my elder sister’s cooking. Although she doesn’t cook often, just look at the presentation of the dishes, it’s quite good."

Song Xiaobing said with a smile, her comment, not knowing whether it was praise or critique.

"Junior Brother Shen, simple tea and food, don’t disdain it..."

Song Xiaodie also wore a slight smile.

"This level of abundance has already surpassed many inn banquets, it’s not simple tea and food at all..."

Shen Han replied politely, and the three of them were having lunch together.

"Junior Brother Shen, were you worried about yesterday’s duel?"

Tasting the food, Song Xiaodie asked.

"Senior Sister Song means, I offended them and might face retaliation?"

"Actually, I can’t say for sure now..."

Song Xiaodie’s delicate brows furrowed, gently putting down her chopsticks.

"Junior Brother Shen, you won the duel against Tang Chenyang yesterday and also injured him.

I imagine, deep down, he must already resent you.

Tang Chenyang’s family, the Tang Family, though not a major power in Five Immortals City, is still a considerable family.

Moreover, Tang Chenyang’s teacher is the Dean within the sect..."

Song Xiaodie spoke solemnly.

She couldn’t make an accurate judgment now, unable to foresee whether more danger or opportunity lay ahead.

"Senior Sister Song thinks I might encounter retaliation?

Would they employ some underhanded tactics against me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Han wasn’t overly worried.

After all, this is Five Immortals City, not some insidious and sinister sect.

Having intentions of revenge against me is quite normal, very likely.

Most likely, they would employ some petty tricks or traps.

Shen Han wasn’t overly worried.

Besides, I have already stepped into the Immortal Realm, Shen Han had some confidence in his ability to protect himself.

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaodie still frowned.

"What I just mentioned is only one possible scenario.

There is also the possibility that through this duel, Junior Brother Shen might gain an opportunity and be valued by the sect elders."

Song Xiaodie continued, lifting her eyes to gaze at Shen Han.

"There have been cases before where someone was promoted exceptionally and given focused training because of one duel.

But, how the sect’s top brass will act, we can’t predict..."

"Since I can’t guess, I might as well not bother guessing.

I’ll just wait patiently to see how Five Immortals City intends to treat me."

In conversation, Shen Han spoke with great composure.
