The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1124: Chapter 1123: The Secret of Tuo Shi

All men in the world are the same; as long as they’re men, they won’t remain indifferent in the face of a beautiful woman. That’s what she always believed.

But the person she’s facing is Su Changfeng, which means she’s destined to be disappointed. Back then, he was indifferent even in the face of Yue Qingshan’s seduction, so it wouldn’t be any different with another woman.

He is loyal to his wife, loyal to Shen Hanxue, and won’t be swayed by a beautiful woman.

”If throwing yourself at someone is your purpose, you can leave. I have no interest in you,” Su Changfeng said expressionlessly.

Throwing herself at him? No interest?

Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, there was a faint anger in the woman’s eyes. With her current status, was there any need to do such a thing? As long as she said the word, men in Tuo Shi would be at her disposal!

”Do you know? Just with these words, I could kill you!” The woman’s voice grew even colder.

Su Changfeng naturally wasn’t afraid, he looked straight at the woman and said, ”Tuo Shi isn’t a place where you can do as you like, is it?”

Leaving those words, Su Changfeng left. He didn’t know the woman’s identity or why she appeared here.

Of course, he also had no interest in finding out. To him, no woman could compare to Shen Hanxue.

The woman stood still, her eyes cold as she watched Su Changfeng’s back, but she didn’t lose her mind in anger.

Tuo Shi indeed doesn’t allow internal slaughter; it’s a rule everyone must follow.

Even as the daughter of Yin Zhengyuan, the leader of Lingxiao Pavilion, she couldn’t do that.

”Hmph, useless, I’ll watch as you get defeated,” Yin Lulu’s cold voice came through. The reason she was here today was simply out of curiosity about what kind of person Su Changfeng was, who could spark discussions across Tuo Shi.

After seeing Su Changfeng in person, Yin Lulu was even more certain of the rumors she had heard recently. This guy, a useless person with no real ability, just acting all pretentious.

The next day, after meeting with Yang Junming, she recounted last night’s encounter and even briefly described the person’s appearance, trying to find out who she really was.

”I’ve been away from Tuo Shi for a long time, and such a young girl you mentioned, where would I have the chance to know her? If I’m not mistaken, the reason she appeared was probably out of curiosity. You know, you are quite the hot topic in Tuo Shi now; many people want to see you!”

”These things you don’t need to worry about for now. What’s most important at the moment is to focus on your training,” Yang Junming said.

”Popular figure? They all want to see me?” Hearing this, Su Changfeng found it somewhat amusing. Those people probably just want to see him make a fool of himself.

”They’re not curious about me; they just want to see me as a joke.”

”That’s why you have to work hard and stand out. As for that woman you mentioned, she’s likely someone from a higher level. If you’re curious about her identity, all you need to do is win the grading competition, and you’ll have the opportunity,” Yang Junming said.

Su Changfeng waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned, and said, ”I was just asking casually, thinking you might know. Since you don’t, then forget it. Who she is doesn’t matter to me at all.”

If Yin Lulu heard these words, she’d likely be furious. As the daughter of Yin Zhengyuan, leader of Lingxiao Pavilion, and also a proud daughter of Tuo Shi, countless people vied for her attention.

In Tuo Shi, no one dared to belittle her, but to Su Changfeng, she was indeed just an insignificant person.

”I have to say, in this respect, I truly admire you!” Yang Junming said with some admiration. When it comes to women, Su Changfeng achieves what most men can’t: ignoring all women but his own.

His affection for Shen Hanxue is indeed admirable.

”Nothing to admire.” Su Changfeng waved his hand.

In reality, to him, feelings are meant to be loyal to one person. If love changes because of beauty, how can it still be called love?

As a man, if you can’t even accomplish the most basic loyalty and responsibility, what kind of man does that make you?

”By the way, are you going to tell me about Shangyun Pavilion and Lingxiao Pavilion now?” Su Changfeng asked Yang Junming.

Su Changfeng indeed didn’t understand the current power structure of Tuo Shi. Now that he’s here, he does need to figure these things out.

”Shangyun Pavilion has four subdivisions, with Elder Wu as their leader, holding the highest authority. As for Lingxiao Pavilion, it has three subdivisions, and the leader is someone named Yin Zhengyuan,” Yang Junming explained.

”So you’re saying, in Tuo Shi, Elder Wu and this person named Yin Zhengyuan have the most power?” Su Changfeng asked, puzzled.

If the leaders of Shangyun Pavilion and Lingxiao Pavilion represent the highest authority in Tuo Shi, it means that although both are part of the same world, it’s still a situation where two armies stand against each other.

In Su Changfeng’s eyes, this arrangement is prone to conflicts. If conflicts intensify, the two will undoubtedly become hostile, causing Tuo Shi to face a crisis of fragmentation, making this configuration not a positive sign.

Only through mutual checks can there be a stable situation. A standoff is not a long-term solution. Doesn’t Tuo Shi understand this?

”There’s a legend of an even higher figure existing within Tuo Shi, but it’s just a legend. After all, that person has been around for two hundred years, and probably isn’t alive now,” Yang Junming said.

”What? Two hundred years!” Su Changfeng was somewhat shocked.

”How long has Tuo Shi existed then?”

”About three hundred years,”

”Three hundred years?” Su Changfeng’s mouth twitched slightly.

That timeframe seems excessively long.

From this perspective, the secrets guarded by Tuo Shi must be astonishing!

Su Changfeng exhaled and said, ”Ah, this feeling of knowing there’s a secret but not knowing what it is, it’s quite frustrating! I just don’t know when I’ll finally learn Tuo Shi’s secret.”

”The opportunity is right in front of you. If you can successfully advance to the Heavenly Level, you can know the secrets of Tuo Shi,” Yang Junming said with a smile.

Su Changfeng suddenly looked at Yang Junming, a knowing smile on his face. This man should be at the Heavenly Level himself, so how could he not know Tuo Shi’s secrets?

Noticing Su Changfeng’s expression, Yang Junming felt a chill and quickly said, ”You’d better not think about it. I’m not going to tell you anything. The rules of Tuo Shi are right here; no one can break them.”

”Can’t you just tell me a little bit, just a tiny bit, can’t you bend the rules?” Su Changfeng asked, raising an eyebrow.

Yang Junming firmly refused: ”Maybe you’ll know in a month, so stop overthinking it. Focus on your training; otherwise, not only will you miss knowing Tuo Shi’s secrets, but you might also end up making a big fool of yourself.”
