says he’s already reached the forty-third layer...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Dowager of the Shen Family turned her head, with some disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this expression, Cai Xue repeated herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was certain she had heard clearly, indeed forty-three layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Dowager unconsciously froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl Cai Xue had been by her side for years, always extremely reliable, hardly ever making mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she said so, then Heyang City must truly have sent such news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her cane in hand, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family hurriedly asked Cai Xue to support her to the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the sound transmission magical artifact, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family personally inquired across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reply was received shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To the Old Dowager, Young Master Han just ascended the forty-fifth layer...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty-fifth layer...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this number, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family was momentarily stunned, as if a flash of white light crossed before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was completely unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before resting last night, Shen Han had taken a quarter of an hour to pass even one layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher, it should be slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come after one night, he ascended over forty layers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a trace of anger on the Old Dowager of the Shen Family’s face, turning her head to look at the household servants surrounding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why wasn’t the message delivered last night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of servants dared not speak, their heads bowed, occasionally glancing at Cai Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Madam He and Madam Xie, upon hearing the news, hurriedly arrived at the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Dowager, has Shen Han really ascended over forty layers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of unease filled Madam He’s heart, ever since the start of the Thousand-Autumn Grand Gathering, her eyelids had been twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Old Dowager’s expression, she got no answer from her, but understood it to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He won’t really be able to surpass Su Jinyu, will he...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Lingsheng once promised Shen Han that if he could prove himself better than Su Jinyu, the cost of breaking the engagement would not fall on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it came true, how should the engagement be annulled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Dowager of the Shen Family tapped her cane on the ground twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be able to ascend over forty layers, it must be that troublemaker’s limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jinyu, after all, is renowned as a prodigy, how could he possibly be inferior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Dowager of the Shen Family spoke to reassure Madam He and Madam Xie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in actuality, her heart was uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shen Family had been military through generations, with Patriarch Shen Qingshan and his three sons all stationed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In essence, everything at the Shen Mansion fell under her, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family’s, control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since a prodigy, Shen Ye, emerged, Patriarch Shen Qingshan had placed greater trust in the Old Dowager of the Shen Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In past years, upon returning home for the year-end, when discussing how the younger generation was faring in their cultivation, and who among them deserved special focus,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patriarch Shen would always listen to the Old Dowager’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Shen Ao, for instance, a mere child, lacking even basic etiquette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he received such attention from the Shen Family was mostly due to the Old Dowager’s praise before the patriarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in all these years, whenever she mentioned Shen Han, the Old Dowager’s words were dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the presence of her own third son, Shen Han’s father, Shen Lingsheng, she would say Shen Han lacked talent and was unlikely to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not acknowledging that Shen Han’s lack of talent in the Martial Path was due to her never allowing him to practice it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Shen Han was always silent, living alone in the small courtyard on the east side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had little opportunity to partake in grand gatherings or contests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hidden talent couldn’t be discerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One silent, explosive moment became startling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Stepping into the Thousand Autumns, even with unexpected factors, the achievements carried an element of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to suddenly ascend over forty layers, it shocked the Old Dowager of the Shen Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han’s performance, even if due to luck, indicated some ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t that imply the Old Dowager had been blind all along, never realizing the family had such a talent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not discovering was one thing, but treating Shen Han so poorly was another...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if this achievement reached Patriarch Shen Qingshan’s ears, or even those of her own third son’s?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would happen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would they hold her accountable...\u003C\u002Fp>",1358,"2026-05-29T03:40:11.322Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","c17037ad2f3e56f9069f668f98a40eb1581df836aca3dddda27c5d1fd5c5d4fd","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-80","engagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-chapter-78",546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fengagement-canceled-i-can-extract-prefixes-cover.jpg"]
