The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 949: Chapter 948: The Original Purpose of Tuo Shi’s Establishment

”As long as you remember, that’s fine with me.” An Yufei nodded in satisfaction. He continued, ”Let’s stop chatting here and go inside.”

The two of them prepared to enter but the moment they passed by Wang Junshan, An Yufei suddenly stopped.

An Yufei was well-versed in human nature. He knew that with Ye Litian’s downfall, many prominent families would be waiting outside Su Changfeng’s door. But as he’d just arrived, he saw many people leaving with their belongings. This clearly meant that Su Changfeng didn’t want to see them and made them leave. But why was this person still kneeling here, refusing to go?

”Uncle, don’t mind this kid. He’s probably a bit off in the head.” Shiwen said contemptuously. Wang Junshan was stubbornly staying, refusing to leave no matter what was said. He planned to report this accurately to Su Changfeng later to see what he thought.

An Yufei nodded, considering it a minor issue. Since Su Changfeng had spoken, he naturally didn’t need to bother with it.

Pushing open the door and entering the villa’s living room, An Yufei saw Su Changfeng and smiled, ”Even I thought you were doomed this time, you’ve really done something extraordinary again.”

Su Changfeng looked at An Yufei and said, ”Honestly, even I didn’t expect to be alive. But I have a reason to live; otherwise, that bastard Ye Litian would never let my wife and daughter go. I absolutely won’t give him that chance.”

An Yufei nodded and said, ”Aren’t you curious why I disappeared at such a critical juncture?”

”Does it have something to do with Guan Shan?” Su Changfeng asked, frowning.

”You... you actually know Guan Shan?” An Yufei said in shock. He couldn’t understand how Su Changfeng knew about Guan Shan. Had Guan Shan sought out Su Changfeng after leaving that day?

”I heard it from Ye Litian. Who is Guan Shan? Could he also be one of Tuo Shi’s people?” Su Changfeng asked An Yufei.

”Guan Shan is indeed one of Tuo Shi’s people, and he holds a high position there. His talent is extraordinary, breaking many records in Tuo Shi. Many think he might become Mr. Wu’s disciple.” An Yufei explained. Being smart, An Yufei didn’t directly reveal why Guan Shan would team up with Ye Litian to trouble Su Changfeng, knowing Su Changfeng could easily figure it out himself.

”So that’s how it is. He must be jealous of me for taking the position he always wanted, which is why he teamed up with Ye Litian to kill me.” Su Changfeng said calmly. He hadn’t expected there to be such a backstory. Sometimes one cannot guard against everything, and he’d unknowingly gained such an enemy.

”It’s not just about the position. From my perspective, Guan Shan doesn’t care about the title. What he fears is if you join Tuo Shi, you might threaten his status. People like Guan Shan are used to being at the top, and he would never allow anyone else to reach the summit.” An Yufei explained.

”I’ve heard you all talking about Tuo Shi, but what exactly is it? Why was it founded?” Su Changfeng asked curiously. He’d always wanted to know. In his view, no matter how mysterious or powerful the organization, they all had an initial purpose, even if it evolved over time. An organization as powerful and mysterious as Tuo Shi couldn’t be compared to ordinary people, and everyone there was exceptionally skilled. They naturally held secrets unknown to others, secrets likely known to only a few.

”Su Changfeng, I used to wonder about the same, but I’m not high enough to answer you. For why Tuo Shi was founded, you might need to ask Mr. Wu directly; only the big shots in Tuo Shi know its original purpose.” An Yufei said.

”You speak so mysteriously, making me even more curious. But I think if Tuo Shi is this secretive, its founding purpose must be equally complex. Could it be to combat a greater force?” Su Changfeng speculated. After all, gathering such exceptional talents in one place must be to counter something or at least to maintain peace.

”Your guess might not be wrong, but the real reasons, I think, are beyond me. But you could find out.” An Yufei said, gazing at Su Changfeng.

”I need to become Mr. Wu’s disciple to learn these secrets, right?” Su Changfeng asked with a smile.

”Yes.” An Yufei nodded slightly, knowing that Su Changfeng had already stated outside the Ye Family Villa that he didn’t want to agree. He wasn’t sure of Su Changfeng’s current stance. From his perspective, having Su Changfeng join Tuo Shi would be greatly beneficial, so he still needed to persuade him.

”Being able to enter Tuo Shi is already a great honor for a common person, let alone becoming Mr. Wu’s direct disciple. Even those within Tuo Shi find it a huge honor, so I think you should seriously consider it and not miss this opportunity.” An Yufei advised earnestly.

”I’m indeed considering it. My family is already pressuring me, saying that if I refuse, they might kill me.” Su Changfeng shrugged. If not for his grandfather Ye Qingtian and his mentor Huo Tian both pressuring him, Su Changfeng wouldn’t have considered it.

For Su Changfeng, relationships matter the most. Even though Mr. Wu is powerful, there’s no emotional connection; he couldn’t abandon his mentor just for that.

But if he truly refused, and Ye Qingtian and Huo Tian disowned him, it would be hard to bear.

Hearing this, An Yufei suddenly smiled. Though Su Changfeng hadn’t decided yet, his family seemed to be looking at the bigger picture.
