Lingsheng, you are the youngest, and when you were young, you always seemed the most sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the mansion, throughout Great Wei, you could always navigate things smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somehow, you just can’t manage your own little family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shen Qingshan said this, Shen Lingsheng began to somewhat understand what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, has someone from the Yun Family come to say something again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshan glanced at Shen Lingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Yun Family? Don’t think about them anymore, their influence is great now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be you think you’re so desirable that the young lady from the Yun Family would come looking for you again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qingshan has always been like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divorce was suggested by him in the first place, and now he’s blaming me...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Lingsheng found it hard to speak back, despite his sheepishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, what exactly is going on...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you want to scold Lingsheng, you need to tell me why...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, Shen Qingshan tossed a letter to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it fell, Shen Lingsheng had no choice but to pick it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he opened the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letters from the military are generally extremely concise, using two words if possible instead of three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This letter contained only a short paragraph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after reading it, Shen Lingsheng was stunned for quite a while without recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face showed astonishment, unable to believe it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father... are you sure about this news...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Shen Lingsheng could finish, Shen Qingshan threw a Sound Transmission Magical Artifact before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask for yourself, lest you say I’m fooling you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Lingsheng, unperturbed, picked up the artifact and began to inquire about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the artifact’s echo revealed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His son, Shen Han,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had a match against the Su Family’s pride, emerging victorious with his Sword Dao strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength was at least at the Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm, earning himself the title of ’pride’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the Capital City, many have started calling Shen Han a ’pride’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The honor originally over Su Jinyu’s head shifted quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing everything, Shen Lingsheng’s brow furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For other fathers, learning their son achieved such feats would bring immense joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Shen Lingsheng, it only felt burdensome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shen Lingsheng now aware of the details, Shen Qingshan sternly looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old third, for years you couldn’t even manage your small family well, do you think I would dare trust you with a military unit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If conflicts arise in the army, can you resolve them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Deputy General, Squad Leader, or Yazheng, can you handle all their affairs adequately?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your capabilities, a military unit under your command wouldn’t last three months before rebellion occurred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a few words, Shen Qingshan belittled Shen Lingsheng dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly linked Shen Han to Shen Lingsheng’s capability to lead troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A family with two prides, now others claim our Shen Family is a family with two prides!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But look, our prideful descendant is now being recruited by Tianyi Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to shine in front of others, and now, ended up exposing our flaws.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qingshan’s face showed mockery, as if it were entirely Shen Lingsheng’s fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the man before him weren’t his own father, Shen Lingsheng would have wanted to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his emotions were already uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Shen Han was supposedly his son, their relationship was even less than that of strangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he had never cared for Shen Han over the years of being a father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, due to the previous engagement between Shen Han and Su Jinyu, he had even considered sacrificing Shen Han, simply to save the Shen Family a little cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as it turns out, everyone in the Shen Family was blind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prideful descendant stood before them, yet none recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a father, you don’t even know your own son’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you doing all day long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuming inside, Shen Qingshan vented his frustrations onto Shen Lingsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Lingsheng held back, restraining himself with effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, for years, I’ve stayed by your side, raising my descendants within Shen Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I’m his biological father, you ought to be reasonable too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These years, I’ve returned to Yun’an City even less than you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I know of Shen Han is information you provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet today, you come to blame me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the forty-something Shen Lingsheng had an expression almost of grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shen Qingshan, the patriarch of the Shen Family, pursed his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, then the issue has been clarified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blame should fall on your mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year-end she returns with negative evaluations of Shen Han, always derogatory and critical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because of this that Shen Han’s relationship with the Shen Family is so strained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with talent and skills, he doesn’t dare speak to the elders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shen Qingshan said this, he asked the Deputy General to prepare horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to return to Shen Mansion once more to truly understand how such a prideful descendant could be discarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what, you are still Shen Han’s biological father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood is thicker than water, go speak with him, admit your mistakes if needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianyi Academy might not let you enter, then wait in the Capital City, make sure to meet Shen Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, your attitude needs to be good, do not criticize as before in your words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Shen Qingshan no longer cared and left the tent, mounting his steed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Lingsheng’s face looked quite grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notion of a father bowing to his son...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Lingsheng found hard to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Shen Lingsheng knew clearly, there was no escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qingshan would force him to proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han now wasn’t just the new pride, but also closely related to the Yun Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either reason alone would urge the Shen Family to ally closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these two reasons combined in one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capital City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianyi Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days of recovery, Shen Han was already up and about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, thanks to Unceasing Skill’s recovery strength, Shen Han had mostly recovered on the first day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Tianyi Academy was overly worried about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with no issues, they required the academy’s healer to examine him before allowing normal cultivation again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond such attention, the academy’s favoritism also came his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing was having Shen Han move to a different courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean and others had visited before, seeing Shen Han living in such a small room, they immediately offered a bigger one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han found it troublesome, making an excuse that he got along well with his three fellow students and didn’t want to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The academy’s teachers found an even larger courtyard, having all three move with Shen Han...\u003C\u002Fp>",1213,"2026-05-29T03:40:11.653Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","fd50617a7d200f2a421e0fe293cad63cc6d23730494a5a109fb1335b546f71dd","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-185","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-183",546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fengagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-cover.jpg"]
