Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 642: Chapter 622: Where’s the Gift?

Whether it was the fellow disciples he invited or the servant disciples sent by Xing Yonghai.

They all clearly saw.

Shen Han indeed entered the Book Collection Pavilion of the Thick Earth Tower, but somehow, he was not found.

It was nearly midnight, and Five Immortals City had become tranquil.

Xing Yonghai’s face showed quite a bit of anxiety.

Finally having some interaction with a direct disciple, he thought he could make a good impression.

But unexpectedly, instead of showing his face, he might end up showing his backside.

Tomorrow is Qianmu Fan’s birthday feast, and in the morning, he even reported to Wen Ranran, saying everything was fine.

But now, Shen Han couldn’t be found.....

In just over four more two-hour periods, it would be 7:00 AM.

Even if they delayed, the feast starts at Noon, which meant only six two-hour periods were left.

Time was getting closer, and Xing Yonghai’s face was growing more anxious.

Besides anxiety and impatience, there was also more anger.

Shen Han chose to hide at this moment.

Clearly, he didn’t take Xing Yonghai seriously.

Beside Xing Yonghai were a few outer sect disciples he had asked to help.

The reason they helped was secondary to friendship.

The main reason was to make an impression in front of Wen Ranran, the direct disciple.

Now it seemed that making an impression was out of the question, and they might get scolded.

After searching with Xing Yonghai for several two-hour periods, one of them was ready to give up when suddenly something occurred to him.

"Isn’t there a basement level in the Book Collection Pavilion?

Could that bastard be hiding in there?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Yonghai hurriedly ran towards the Book Collection Pavilion.

The group entered the basement.

They guessed correctly, but they were a bit late.

In the basement, there were only three fainted servant disciples.

Seeing this scene, the outer sect disciples who came to help were amused in anger.

They looked at Xing Yonghai next to them.

"Brother Xing, you always said that in front of these servant disciples, you have absolute authority, and no one dared to defy you.

Now it seems, it’s not quite like that."

"Yes, this Shen Han clearly doesn’t have any regard for you.

He purposely hid himself, and there are three two-hour periods left. Can we find him?"

The outer sect disciples who came to help felt a bit resentful too.

They had expended effort, only to end up with this result.

In their words, they couldn’t help but start complaining about Xing Yonghai.

"With this escape, he could already have left the city.

Sister Wen’s request, it’s not happening."

At this moment, the outer sect disciples all had this thought.

They were ready to leave, unwilling to waste more time with Xing Yonghai.

And hearing these words, Xing Yonghai’s face was filled with even more anger.

Looking at the fainted servant disciples in front of him, he kicked them in frustration.

There were only three two-hour periods left.

If he couldn’t find Shen Han, Xing Yonghai was really going to have big trouble.

Suppressing his anger, he could only ask a few fellow disciples to help again, to search around the city.

He offered each of them a hundred contribution points as a token of hard work.

The night had brightened.

It was clearly dawn, dawn represents new beginnings and hope.

But Xing Yonghai was feeling increasingly uneasy.

The box was made, even carved with beautiful patterns, the lines were incredibly intricate.

But the person who was supposed to be placed inside, couldn’t be found.

While they were hurriedly searching for him.

Shen Han was leisurely having breakfast in an inn.

Then, he continued to comprehend the "Great Tao Fusion Technique" in the inn.

From intention to Tao, carving out his own path.

Although he knew this path, Shen Han also understood that it couldn’t be quickly accomplished.

Compared to the new cultivation system, borrowing the Heaven and Earth Creation, borrowing the Heaven and Earth’s momentum.

Every step he took had to be improved through his own cultivation, without any shortcuts.

Shen Han was cultivating to improve peacefully.

Closing his eyes, he completely ignored other matters.

As for how Xing Yonghai and the others were doing, Shen Han never thought about it.

Whether they lived or died, whether they would be punished.

Shen Han never considered it.

The sole reason for staying at this inn was simple.

To reduce troubles, avoid wasting his own time.

Qianmu Fan’s birthday, wanting to make him their plaything, for Qianmu Fan to relieve his boredom.

What a thought, they certainly overestimated themselves.

In Shen Han’s eyes, they were nothing.

At that moment, on the south side of Five Immortals City, in the courtyard where Qianmu Fan stayed.

People had already come with gifts to visit.

It seemed that all parties from Five Immortals City had arrived.

Even if they couldn’t form alliances, they joined the fun and built goodwill.

Although the various forces in Five Immortals City competed with each other, overall, relations were harmonious.

At 7:45 AM, Wen Ranran dressed up elegantly for the occasion.

Her looks relied thirty percent on appearance and seventy percent on dressing up.

Wen Ranran’s looks were just okay, but with her attire today, you could say she looked good.

"I told you, Sister Ranran wouldn’t arrive too early; she’d definitely spend time dressing up in her room.

Coming out at this hour is already not bad~"

Seeing Wen Ranran arrive, a few familiar martial brothers jokingly said.

Hearing this, Wen Ranran gave them a playful glance.

"Junior brothers, take a good look, Sister Ranran dressed up all for you~"

The crowd was still teasing, making Wen Ranran’s face full of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Qianmu Fan didn’t hesitate and stepped forward directly.

"Senior Sister, you look really beautiful today."

Qianmu Fan spoke directly, with a hint of affection in his tone.

For a moment, Wen Ranran, whose face was already slightly flushed, turned even redder.

Those beside them started to cheer.

"Hug her~"

"Kiss her~"

These teasing words made Wen Ranran even more shy.

However, elders soon began to arrive.

The young people also started to become more reserved and restrained in their conversations.

The courtyard grew more crowded with people.

Qianmu Fan, as one of the juniors, had enough attention from so many elders coming by.

The main reason at that time.

It was because Qianmu Fan had unlocked seven restraints, a talent that earned him such respect.

At noon, the birthday banquet finally began.

The courtyard was set with five banquet tables in total.

Although not many, those coming and going were all high-ranking figures and aristocrats of Five Immortals City.

Among them were also some merchants doing business in Five Immortals City.

These people joined in the fun and brought gifts as well.

Before taking their seats, everyone presented their gifts.

Those who thought their gifts were good would speak up, telling Qianmu Fan to open them.

They would say things like hoping he would like the gift.

As Wen Ranran was the closest to Qianmu Fan, the gifts she and her faction presented were closely watched by everyone else.

At this moment, Wen Ranran was growing more anxious inside.

She had prepared several items, but the last one was the true surprise.

Shen Han, as a heart demon for Qianmu Fan, would be defeated by Qianmu Fan, who would then regret and admit his mistake.

This gift was not only special but also very meaningful for Qianmu Fan.

It showed Wen Ranran’s thoughtfulness, distinguishing it from the mundane gifts of others.

However, even though it was supposed to be ready, Xing Yonghai and others had not delivered it yet.

As time passed, Wen Ranran grew more anxious.

Previously, she hadn’t given Xing Yonghai her Sound Transmission Jade.

Thinking that an Outer Sect disciple might not be worthy of direct discussion with her.

But now she realized it was a bit troublesome.

If what she prepared wasn’t delivered, it would be embarrassing for Wen Ranran.

After a brief hesitation, Wen Ranran immediately instructed her attendant.

To go to the bamboo tower and see what on earth Xing Yonghai was up to.

If there was a problem, why not mention it earlier?

To have an issue at such a critical moment today.

Now that’s really a bit tricky.

It was already noon, and most people had taken their seats.

"Ranran, Senior Sister, I heard you prepared a special big gift?

Where is it?"

The news about Wen Ranran preparing a special gift had already leaked a bit earlier.

There were many curious people.

But now it seemed the gift couldn’t be presented.

Wen Ranran didn’t reply, her face slightly darkened.

Beside her, Qianmu Fan spoke to smooth things over.

"Senior Sister has already given plenty of gifts; one more isn’t necessary. I know her intentions."

Qianmu Fan tried his best to display a gentlemanly demeanor.

Graceful and composed, his gestures were always appropriate.

Hearing this, Senior Sister Zhuo Rou smiled even brighter.

"Intentions are one part; the gift is another.

This is something I obtained during my recent experience outside, gifted to Junior Brother."

Zhuo Rou, who had always been at odds with Wen Ranran, was secretly delighted to see Wen Ranran’s gift causing trouble today.

As she gave her gift, she also threw a little shade.

Her gift was a pair of bracers.

Judging by their quality, they seemed quite precious.

In the new cultivation system, the role of artifacts would become more significant.

A good weapon or treasure could more easily harness the power of Heaven and Earth Creation.

According to their ability to harness power and their own quality, these treasures are categorized into Ordinary Grade, Good Grade, Absolute Grade, Immortal Grade.

Above Immortal Grade, they are no longer treasures but called Magical Treasures.

Magical Treasures have unique characteristics; each has different uses, and they are no longer compared based on quality.

The treasure Zhuo Rou presented, this pair of bracers.

Should be of Absolute Grade quality.

It was indeed quite generous.

Seeing these bracers, Qianmu Fan unconsciously stepped forward to thank Senior Sister Zhuo Rou.

When someone gives you such a substantial gift, it’s impossible to leave them hanging there.

Qianmu Fan’s ability to keep everyone happy was indeed impressive.

No wonder he was able to get close to Shen Ye at Mountain Sea Academy, despite his average abilities.

He had learned quite a bit about understanding people’s hearts.

Seeing this, Wen Ranran’s face grew darker and darker.

Anxious, her attendant finally brought Xing Yonghai over.

But they stopped outside the courtyard, without entering.

Seeing this, Wen Ranran quickly stepped forward.

"Ranran, Senior Sister, this useless fellow said that Shen Han went missing, and they haven’t found him all day..."

Upon hearing her attendant’s words, Wen Ranran’s expression completely darkened.

"Senior Sister Wen, that scoundrel Shen Han was still here yesterday, but suddenly hid last night..."

Despite Xing Yonghai’s arrogance in front of Servant Disciples.

In front of the Direct Disciples, he spoke meekly and submissively.
