The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Wang Chongxing was stunned again, what? Overnight?

If anyone else had said this, he would have thought they were joking, because it’s truly unbelievable.

However, the four blue lights were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

Wang Chongxing walked excitedly to Wang Junyi, curiously asking, ”What on earth happened? How could you advance two ranks overnight? Did you encounter some opportunity?”

”Sort of, it’s definitely considered an opportunity,” Wang Junyi replied.

”What exactly happened? Hurry up and tell me!” Wang Chongxing couldn’t control his excitement, gripping his son’s arm to find out what happened.

”Father, don’t rush. Listen to me explain slowly. The reason I could advance two ranks in such a short time is all because of my master.” Mentioning Su Changfeng, Wang Junyi felt an indescribable pride. Clearly, he was very proud to have Su Changfeng as his master.

Now, he genuinely wanted to follow Su Changfeng.

”Master?” Wang Chongxing furrowed his brows. How come he didn’t know when his son got a master? Besides, he was well aware of everyone in Tianshui City, there definitely wasn’t such a powerful expert!

To allow Wang Junyi to advance two ranks overnight and become a Fourth-rank Expert, in Wang Chongxing’s eyes, the person must at least be a Sixth-rank Master. Yet a small Tianshui City wouldn’t have such a powerful master, would it?

”Who is your master? Is he also in Tianshui City?” Wang Chongxing asked.

The topic could end there; he could tell Wang Chongxing he had a master and his strength improvement was all thanks to his master. However, when it came to the master’s identity, he couldn’t reveal it. Of course, he didn’t dare disclose Su Changfeng’s true identity.

”Father, I really can’t tell you who he is. Master repeatedly reminded me that our relationship must not be disclosed to anyone,” Wang Junyi said, feeling a bit troubled.

Not disclose to anyone?

Such a powerful master, Wang Chongxing couldn’t understand why it was necessary to be so secretive.

Wang Chongxing was very curious about Su Changfeng’s identity and tried to find flaws in Wang Junyi’s words, but Wang Junyi finally became shrewd and was unwilling to reveal a single piece of information about his master.

”Seems like the master is much more important than the father!” Wang Chongxing snorted.

”Father, what are you saying? It’s just that Master doesn’t like being too high profile, and I don’t dare to talk about it either. If I upset him, he might really come and level the City Lord Mansion,” Wang Junyi said helplessly.

”What are you talking about? No matter what, I’m the City Lord of Tianshui City. How dare he casually kill me?” Wang Chongxing reprimanded his son, though his tone was obviously guilty.

After all, he thought his son’s master must be beyond Sixth-rank. Such a powerful master could kill a small City Lord without any issue, even the Xingluo Royal family wouldn’t care.

”Father, I didn’t mean to belittle you, but in front of him, a small City Lord is nothing. Even Xingluo’s upper echelons probably have to be respectful in front of him,” Wang Junyi said.

”You’re exaggerating,” Wang Chongxing snorted disdainfully.

”Father, don’t be so skeptical. What does Primordial Essence mean in Xingluo?” Wang Junyi smiled, looking at his father.

”It’s certainly supreme, even the Xingluo Emperor would have to personally meet them,” Wang Chongxing said almost subconsciously. Primordial Essence was such a rare existence, not even the Emperor could underestimate a Primordial Master.

Upon saying this, he seemed to finally realize something, his body stiffened, looking at Wang Junyi, who wore a proud expression, causing his heart to sink suddenly.

It was like a thunderclap in his ears.

Primordial Essence?

Could it be that Wang Junyi’s master was actually a Primordial Master? Impossible!

Such a rare and precious being, how could one exist in a small Tianshui City?

Wang Chongxing just felt his heart beating surprisingly fast, his legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground.

”Your... Your master, could he be... a Primordial Master?” Wang Chongxing stared blankly at his son, feeling like the world had become surreal.

In fact, Wang Junyi wasn’t clear about Su Changfeng’s exact rank, but based on the questions Su Changfeng asked him earlier, he felt Su Changfeng must be at the Primordial Essence Rank; otherwise, why would he mention the matter of not having a life-bound magical artifact?

It’s known that among cultivators, the only ones who wouldn’t care about having a life-bound magical artifact are those at Primordial Essence.

”What does it mean when someone doesn’t have a life-bound magical artifact, Father?” Wang Junyi replied with another question, his smile growing brighter.

Bam!

Wang Chongxing felt as if his brain was about to explode.

What not having a life-bound magical artifact meant for a cultivator, he naturally knew, but he never considered such a possibility.

Though Wang Chongxing was a City Lord, he had never really seen any big figures, let alone a Primordial Master, and never even had such thoughts.

But now, his son had actually taken a Primordial Master as his teacher, which was a glorious opportunity for their City Lord Mansion!

”Son, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must not miss it. It’s a Primordial Master! You must serve him well. Whether we can enter the Xingluo upper stratums depends on this moment!” Recovering, Wang Chongxing quickly advised.

Wang Junyi smiled and said, ”Father, I’ve already become a disciple of a Primordial. Do you think it’s still important whether we enter Xingluo or not?”

Wang Chongxing trembled, seemingly realizing that a Primordial Master naturally wouldn’t belong to Xingluo, but they would have a very high status in Xingluo.

Since Wang Junyi was a disciple of a Primordial, it truly didn’t matter whether he entered Xingluo.

”Earlier, you kept saying I was obsessed with women; I’ve always said you misunderstood. That girl in the painting is Master’s sister. Master asked me to help find his missing sister, so I asked people to make more copies of her portrait.” Wang Junyi explained.

”So that’s the case. I saw the girl in the painting was young. Could it be that your master hasn’t yet reached ancient old age?” Wang Chongxing couldn’t help but ask.

Seeing as the Primordial Masters of Tianyuan Continent were rumored to have such strength only at a very old age, for Wang Chongxing, since Wang Junyi’s master was a Primordial Master, he should be quite old.

But seeing his sister so young meant Wang Junyi’s master wasn’t that old.
