Chapter 250 - 249: With Decades of Military Experience, My Insight Is Unmatched

Seeing his daughter not responding, Su Zhensheng couldn’t help but ask again.

"You child, your father is asking you a question.

Speaking of which, I, Su Zhensheng, have led troops for decades and truly have a discerning eye.

Back when Shen Han had yet to make a name for himself in the Capital City, it was this old man who saw his potential.

If I had met Shen Han before the engagement was annulled, there wouldn’t have been all these annoying matters afterwards."

Su Zhensheng wore a smile, thinking that his previous advice surely gave him the upper hand.

His own daughter also had a destiny with Shen Han.

From the beginning of the engagement, there were endless entanglements.

Their relationship is like a pair of happy enemies, going round and round, and eventually coming together.

At least, in Su Zhensheng’s eyes, it was so.

"Why aren’t you speaking, child?

How far have things gone between you and Shen Han?"

Su Zhensheng had a bad feeling, could it be that this daughter of his didn’t follow his advice at all?

Lifting the teacup before her, Su Jinyu furrowed her delicate brows and took a sip.

"Shen Han indeed has no intention towards me...

Every time I get slightly close to him, he unconsciously distances himself a bit, clearly rejecting me.

Why should I seek discomfort, approaching him to invite his indifference..."

Hearing these words, Su Zhensheng shook his head repeatedly.

She hadn’t heeded a word of what he had said before.

"Between a man and a woman, what is the least possible situation?

It’s not rejection, it’s not avoidance.

It’s indifference!

If Shen Han acts normally around you, treating you completely like a stranger.

Whether you approach or distance, he doesn’t care.

That is true indifference.

When you approach him slightly, if he even knows to step back a bit, it already shows that Shen Han has an impression of you.

However, that impression might not be very good."

Upon hearing her father’s words, Su Jinyu’s face showed a wry smile.

"Father, they say an impression is bad, might as well have no impression..."

But Su Zhensheng sternly shook his head.

"There’s a big difference.

In the beginning, even your mother had a bad impression of me.

She even wanted to avoid me when she saw me.

But later, when she realized my good sides, that conceptual impact made her infatuated with me.

She even felt guilty for misunderstanding me before."

Su Zhensheng paused for a moment, looked at Su Jinyu, and then continued.

"Now Shen Han is the same, he doesn’t have a good impression of you.

But when you interact with him more, and when he realizes your good qualities, he’ll immediately be captivated by you.

Your father won over your mother with this very approach."

In his younger days, Su Zhensheng was indeed quite unruly, mingling among the army, often speaking vulgar words.

And Su Jinyu’s mother was famously beautiful back then.

How could she possibly look favorably upon the young Su Zhensheng?

Not only did she not like him, she even despised him a little.

But one year, when Su Zhensheng returned from the frontline injured.

Despite his body full of wounds, he still smiled at her...

Su Jinyu’s mother was captured by that smile for the rest of her life.

When ingrained views greatly differ from reality, it easily provokes inner agitation.

Listening to this, Su Jinyu nodded thoughtfully.

From the current perspective, Shen Han’s talent and potential are not inferior to Shen Ye’s, and his appearance is much more handsome.

And in terms of character, Shen Han is far better.

All these point to Shen Han being the more suitable match.

Seeing that he had finally persuaded Su Jinyu, Su Zhensheng continued to give her advice.

"Isn’t Peak Master Shi acquainted with Shen Han?

Jinyu, you can ask Peak Master Shi to mention your recent situation in front of Shen Han.

There’s no need to praise you deliberately, just mention your name, so Shen Han remembers the name Su Jinyu in his heart.

Later, you can invite Shen Han for a joint training exercise.

As both of you are practitioners of Sword Dao, there’s plenty to talk about.

Just show up in front of him and engage in conversations.

No need to worry about anything else, Shen Han, being a man, will take the initiative to pursue you."

Leaving her father’s courtyard, Su Jinyu continued reflecting in her mind.

All these occurrences demonstrate her father’s keen foresight.

Perhaps she and Shen Ye are truly fated not to be.

For the next training session, she can indeed invite Shen Han to accompany her.

Firstly, she owes Shen Han a favor, and she is unsure if offering a Secret Realm training experience can make up for it.

Secondly, as her father said, this could potentially bring her closer to Shen Han.

...

On the first day after the Academy competition, everywhere was abuzz with Shen Han’s name.

Yet, the subject of the conversation was at home, sound asleep.

He woke up leisurely only at 5:00 PM.

Shen Han checked his body and found it was fine.

The "Unceasing Skill" proved to be remarkably effective in restoring the body.

But each time he used the "Unceasing Skill", it made him incredibly drowsy.

It seemed that while there were pros and cons, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages.

After all, to recover physically, without the "Unceasing Skill", rest would still be necessary.

Realizing his injury needed time to heal and with no one to disturb him,

Shen Han seized the moment to settle his mind and contemplate his cultivation method.

His thoughts wandered to the vast world of "Gen Mountain Secret Technique".

In his hand, he held a Sword Shadow, thrusting it to the skies, performing swordplay in between heaven and earth.

The confrontation with Shen Ye was indeed challenging.

Even a mere avatar of Shen Ye’s demanded his utmost effort.

The Sword Shadow summoned through the "Celestial Dao Sword Momentum" couldn’t disrupt the ripples produced by Shen Ye’s finger flicks.

This is the disparity in sheer power, Sixth Grade Fruit Realm, though only a step from the Fifth Grade, is a vast leap.

Without already comprehending the Sword and Man Unity, even with Desperate Intent, it would be hard to completely destroy Shen Ye’s avatar.

The realm of strength remains the foundation of everything.

After this battle, Shen Han attained a deeper understanding of the significance of realm strength.

Moreover, in this duel, he conceived Desperate Intent.

Finally, with fearless momentum, he pierced through Shen Ye’s avatar with one sword strike.

His heart contemplating, vaguely sensing movement.

Progressing from the Sixth Grade to the Fifth, grasping the essence of Heart Thought.

This step, for cultivators, is both the toughest and the simplest.

Hard in that it might be an opportunity once in a hundred years.

Simple as one’s thought flickers, a spark of enlightenment, and revelation dawns.

Hence, advancing beyond the Sixth Grade, evolving realms becomes so challenging.

In the vastness between heaven and earth, Shen Han’s Heart Thought had realized Desperate Intent.

Desperate Intent etched into the heart.

He finally set foot into the Fifth Grade First Snow Realm.

Thoughts buried in the heart, a single thought arises, born of Dao.

The path of the Fifth Grade, a journey of enlightenment.
