The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1003: Chapter 1002: Elder Wu’s Fiery Rage

The reason Mr. Wu said this is because he already learned of Yang Junming’s arrival in Jiang City, which surprised him despite knowing that Guan Shan wouldn’t give up easily. What really surprised him was that Guan Shan could invite Yang Junming to come down from the mountain.

Yang Junming is someone who made it onto the Tuo Shi master list; even in today’s Tuo Shi, no one can challenge his position.

Moreover, what’s more crucial is that back then, Yang Junming was resolute in wanting to leave Tuo Shi, even rejecting Mr. Wu’s personal attempts to keep him. This clearly showed that Yang Junming didn’t want to be part of Tuo Shi. He wanted to return to the mundane world, yet Guan Shan managed to get him to come down personally, which left Mr. Wu both shocked and curious about what methods Guan Shan used.

With Su Changfeng’s current strength, he’s definitely no match for Yang Junming. If they really fought, Su Changfeng would undoubtedly die.

”You old fox, you’re exaggerating. I’m not even a match for him, so you think your old bones can take him on?” Su Changfeng said disdainfully.

”Heh, do you think I, as an old man, need to say these things to deceive you? Am I that idle?” Mr. Wu looked up and said to Su Changfeng.

This made Su Changfeng suspicious. Although he wasn’t clear on who this old guy was, he surely wouldn’t need to be idle and use such matters to deceive him. But right now, in Jiang City, everything seemed to follow his lead, so how could anyone come looking to make trouble for him in particular?

Suddenly, a name popped into Su Changfeng’s mind.

Guan Shan!

Previously, Ye Litian and An Yufei had mentioned this person before him several times. Although Su Changfeng hadn’t met Guan Shan yet, he knew Guan Shan’s goal was to kill him.

If what this old guy says is true, then the one daring to come to Jiang City and cause trouble must be Guan Shan.

”Old man, what is your true identity?” Su Changfeng asked. Since this old man knew Guan Shan, he certainly wasn’t an ordinary elder; perhaps he’s one of Tuo Shi’s people.

Mr. Wu just smiled without speaking. After all, he wasn’t ready to reveal his true identity to Su Changfeng.

The reason he came personally to Jiang City was to probe Su Changfeng, to see what kind of person he is. Accepting a direct disciple is a big deal; while strength is important, talent without character is worthless.

”Could it be that you’re one of Tuo Shi’s people, sent by Mr. Wu to protect me?” Su Changfeng asked. The reason Su Changfeng guessed this was because of An Yufei. An Yufei also appeared during a life-and-death moment by the direct order of Wu Lao to protect him, so Su Changfeng had such a conjecture.

Mr. Wu nodded slightly. Since Su Changfeng wasn’t thinking on that level yet, he saw no need to fabricate a name or identity. Moreover, even if Su Changfeng learned later that he was Mr. Wu, Su Changfeng wouldn’t blame him.

After all, he didn’t say it himself—it was Su Changfeng who thought of it. If he got it wrong, he couldn’t blame anyone.

”Why did Mr. Wu send you instead of coming personally?” Su Changfeng questioned.

”Heh, who do you think Mr. Wu is? He is the highest ruler of Tuo Shi. How could he personally come to see a young brat like you? Young man, don’t be so presumptuous,” Mr. Wu laughed and said.

”Hmph!” Su Changfeng sneered disdainfully and continued, ”Does he really think I’ll agree to be his disciple? Let me tell you, I haven’t agreed yet.”

Hearing that Su Changfeng was unwilling to be his disciple angered Mr. Wu greatly. He was baffled by how Su Changfeng could act so nonchalantly about it.

”Being able to be Mr. Wu’s disciple, that’s such a lucky thing—why wouldn’t you want it, kid?” Mr. Wu couldn’t help but ask, driven by curiosity.

”When I choose a master, it’s not just about strength. If his character doesn’t suit me and he’s a scumbag, I won’t take such a person as my master,” Su Changfeng said indifferently.

A scumbag!

Mr. Wu, hearing Su Changfeng describe him like that, was eager to teach Su Changfeng a lesson right away, to let him know his true character.

But Mr. Wu restrained his temper, not wanting to reveal his true identity to Su Changfeng yet.

Mr. Wu took a deep breath, thinking to himself that once Su Changfeng entered Tuo Shi, he would definitely settle the score with him properly.

”Getting back on topic, I can assure you that without my intervention, you will certainly die,” Mr. Wu said decisively.

”Oh! Since Mr. Wu has ordered you to come protect me, are you saying there’s a fee for this protection?” Su Changfeng joked.

”Of course,” Mr. Wu nodded slightly and continued, ”If you want my help, you have to offer me something in return, or else I won’t act.”

”Is that so? Then why all this chatter? Just say how much you want,” Su Changfeng asked. Currently, Su Changfeng lacked nothing but money, as he had the Ye Family’s accumulated wealth and the Shangguan Family’s share, which together was astronomical.

Mr. Wu was again infuriated, unable to comprehend how terrible of an image he had in Su Changfeng’s mind, always trying to settle things with money.

”Didn’t I just tell you, I’m not interested in these worldly matters,” Mr. Wu said, glaring at Su Changfeng.

”You old coot aren’t interested in money, so just say what you like,” Su Changfeng asked.

A sudden smile crept up Mr. Wu’s lips, a smile that sent shivers down Su Changfeng’s spine.

On the side, Han Xue, seeing Mr. Wu’s smile, instinctively tugged at Su Changfeng’s hand and whispered in his ear, ”Why do I feel this old man has some ulterior motives?”

Despite Han Xue speaking in a low voice, Su Changfeng didn’t care and said aloud, ”He doesn’t look like a good person at first glance. It’s only natural he’d have ulterior motives, isn’t it?”

Mr. Wu clenched his fists in anger, trying to restrain himself from arguing with Su Changfeng, this junior.

If it were in Tuo Shi, anyone daring to speak to him like that would be long gone.

In this vast world, perhaps only Su Changfeng has the guts to act so recklessly in front of him.
