The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 932: Chapter 931: Guan Shan’s Schemes

”Haven’t you eaten yet? I’ll go to the kitchen and make something delicious for you right now,” Yue Qingshan quickly said.

An Shiwen shook his head, clearly not in the mood to eat. Although he hadn’t eaten much and his stomach was growling, the thought of life and death matters made him lose his appetite.

”Brother Changfeng, we should hurry and find my uncle now. With him, it’ll be much easier to fight this battle,” An Shiwen said.

This wasn’t Jiang City, not Su Changfeng’s territory. Su Changfeng didn’t have many spies here, and his resources were quite limited. Besides, Su Changfeng didn’t want to involve Tang Shan either. So he said, ”Then you should send some people out to see if they can find your uncle.”

”Sure, Brother Changfeng, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going first,” An Shiwen said and quickly stood up to leave. In the past, he would’ve stayed longer with Su Changfeng, but the situation was different now. He had to leave immediately.

Meanwhile, in a remote mountain area, there were two figures.

One of them was An Yufei, but he was panting heavily, looking like he’d been fighting for a long time. The man standing opposite him appeared calm and composed, not at all like someone who had been in a fight. This man was Guan Shan.

Despite using over a hundred moves, An Yufei hadn’t touched even a hair on Guan Shan, whereas he himself looked quite disheveled.

This surprised An Yufei greatly. Although he knew there was a gap between himself and Guan Shan, he’d never imagined it was as vast as heaven and earth. Guan Shan truly deserved his reputation as a top talent of Tuo Shi.

”I’ve finally witnessed the skills of someone from Mo Yun Academy of Tuo Shi. If you were intent on killing me, I’d already be a corpse,” An Yufei said, gasping for air, his body nearly exhausted.

”Haha, it’s good that you’re self-aware. If I, Guan Shan, wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even have a chance to strike,” Guan Shan confidently said.

An Yufei felt conflicted upon hearing this, his heart filled with both chill and hatred towards himself.

He had trained day and night in Tuo Shi, but he couldn’t even take a single move from Guan Shan.

”You plan to use Ye Litian as a tool to kill Su Changfeng, aren’t you worried that Mr. Wu will come looking for you? Regardless of why Ye Canghai died, you can’t escape responsibility,” An Yufei said through gritted teeth. An Yufei was smart; he knew that the reason Guan Shan wasn’t killing him but only stalling was to give Ye Chenyu time. If Ye Chenyu went after Su Changfeng, Su Changfeng wouldn’t stand a chance.

”Haha, can you really blame me if a piece of trash is killed? Blame it on his lack of skill, how can I be at fault?” Guan Shan said with a smile.

”Although Su Changfeng wasn’t killed by you, it was your scheme that led to his death. Do you dare say you’re not responsible at all? Aren’t you afraid Mr. Wu will hold you accountable?” An Yufei asked, unwilling to let it go.

”Mr. Wu might be displeased, but so what? Do you think he’d punish me for it? What excuse does he have?” Guan Shan said smugly.

An Yufei was a little shocked to hear this. He had always thought Guan Shan wanted to apprentice under Mr. Wu and killed Su Changfeng for that reason, but it seemed Guan Shan didn’t really care about it.

”What do you hope to gain from this? I doubt Mr. Wu would accept you as a direct disciple, even if you killed Su Changfeng,” An Yufei questioned.

”Whether I can apprentice under Mr. Wu no longer matters. The reason I want to kill that useless Su Changfeng is because he took something that belonged to me. Now everyone’s eyes are on him, and I can’t tolerate that. Plus, Mr. Wu is already quite old; how far away is his death? When he’s gone, who in the entire Tuo Shi can stop me?” Guan Shan said with a laugh.

An Yufei looked at Guan Shan in astonishment, finally realizing his true motive.

It turned out, from the very beginning, Guan Shan’s aim in joining Mr. Wu was to take over his position.

Guan Shan was right. When Mr. Wu passed, Tuo Shi would need new leadership, and given Guan Shan’s high status in Tuo Shi, no one could oppose him. If he wanted Mr. Wu’s position, his chances were quite high.

But Guan Shan seemed a bit impatient, already aiming to kill Su Changfeng, leaving him no chance. If Ye Canghai somehow became Mr. Wu’s direct disciple, with limited potential, he wouldn’t excel.

”Even if Mr. Wu brought Su Changfeng in as a direct disciple, it doesn’t mean he has the qualifications to compete with you. By acting like this, Mr. Wu is sure to be displeased with you, why go to such lengths?” An Yufei said.

”Hahahaha!” Guan Shan gazed at An Yufei with a hint of admiration, saying, ”An Yufei, I must admit, you have quite the gift of gab. What you’ve just said has given me some different thoughts. After all, someone as useless as Su Changfeng isn’t worth competing with me, not even fit to carry my shoes. But for safety’s sake, I must nip any threats to me in the bud.”

Su Changfeng knew that it wouldn’t be long before Ye Litian found him. No matter where he hid, with Ye Litian’s influence here, he’d be found eventually, so he stayed at home.

After all, there was no point in running. He ultimately had to face it himself.

”Yue Qingshan, do you really want to stick with me through this?” Su Changfeng asked Yue Qingshan.

Yue Qingshan had always dressed up beautifully when she came to see Ye Canghai, but this time, she came in such a hurry that she didn’t have time. Nevertheless, she was still a true beauty.

”Of course, you think I’m joking with you?” Yue Qingshan said, looking deeply at Su Changfeng.

”Aren’t you afraid at all?” Su Changfeng asked again.

”I feel it’s already a blessing to be with you. Even if I die for you, I’d do it willingly. If we really end up crossing the River of Forgetfulness, you’ll surely have many little ghosts to protect me,” Yue Qingshan said calmly.

Indeed, Yue Qingshan wasn’t afraid. On the contrary, she felt at ease staying by Su Changfeng’s side, knowing that this man would surely protect her.
