The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

After leaving the Shen Family, Su Changfeng wandered aimlessly around Tianshui City. It wasn’t long before he was noticed by people arranged by Wang Junyi.

Then, Wang Junyi pretended to inadvertently walk to Su Changfeng. Although the two of them had no interaction, Wang Junyi led the way in front, while Su Changfeng discreetly followed. It wasn’t long before they arrived in a seldom-visited alley.

There was a courtyard here, which Wang Junyi had bought initially to house a beauty. But after falling in love with Shen Rushuang, Wang Junyi lost interest in other women, so this place had been left uninhabited.

”Master.” Only after entering did Wang Junyi call Su Changfeng with full respect on his face.

”This courtyard is yours?” Su Changfeng asked curiously. He glanced around and could tell that the courtyard had been uninhabited for quite some time, overgrown with weeds. However, with a good cleanup, it might still be decent.

”That’s right, I bought this courtyard many years ago. Even my father doesn’t know about this place,” Wang Junyi said.

”Clean it up and it should still be livable. Ah, your master has fallen on hard times, being kicked out like this.” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Su Changfeng could dismiss it with a laugh, but Wang Junyi couldn’t care less. To him, what the Shen Family did was a slap in his master’s face and his face as well. How could he tolerate such a thing?

”Master, do you want to teach the Shen Family a lesson?” Wang Junyi said with a fierce expression.

Su Changfeng shook his head indifferently and said, ”There’s no need for that. It’s just the Shen Family, after all. I don’t take them seriously. I estimate that people from Xingluo will arrive soon, so we should keep a low profile.”

”But the Shen Family went too far. That Shen Yunlong guy didn’t give you any face at all, Master.” Wang Junyi couldn’t swallow his anger.

”It’s okay. There will be plenty of chances to settle this in the future. For now, I don’t want to attract Xingluo’s attention. Even though our relationship can be concealed from your father and Tianshui City, it might not remain hidden if Xingluo investigates,” Su Changfeng said.

Right now, he didn’t know much about the Tianyuan Continent, so he didn’t want to be too conspicuous for the time being. Furthermore, he still hadn’t received any news about Chen Qingqing. The pull he felt in the Tuo Shi Forbidden Land hadn’t appeared again, and he didn’t want to waste his energy on other matters.

”Okay, since you say so, I won’t make any moves for now, lest it causes you trouble. But if you want to deal with them, just command me, and I’ll definitely give them a good lesson,” Wang Junyi said.

”Alright, I have nothing else to do for now. You should go back. If it’s not an important matter, try not to come by, or you might expose your identity. As for the person I asked you to find, you might want to try looking in other places. I think she may not be in Tianshui City,” Su Changfeng said.

”Fine, I’ll have someone help you tidy up,” Wang Junyi said.

”No need, it’s just a bit of work. I can handle it myself,” Su Changfeng waved his hand and said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Junyi’s expression changed instantly, and he said, ”Master, what are you saying? With your status, how can you do such things? This is absolutely inadvisable.”

”Just get out of here. I said I’ll do it myself, so I’ll do it myself. Who else do you want to clean up? You might as well shout it on the streets and let everyone know our relationship,” Su Changfeng glared at Wang Junyi, exasperated.

Wang Junyi’s body trembled, and even though he wanted to say something, he didn’t have the courage. After saying a few more respectful words, he left.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds. With nothing else to do, Su Changfeng began to clean up. It had been a long time since he had the leisure to tidy up a house, and it felt pretty good. How nice it would be if Shen Hanxue could be here, even if just to sit and watch him.

However, this was ultimately a luxury. Su Changfeng couldn’t be sure if he could ever return or when, and even someone as strong as him was beginning to feel unsure.

But there must always be hope. Su Changfeng firmly believed that if people from the Tianyuan Continent once found a way to their world, there must be a place here similar to the Tuo Shi Forbidden Land. If he could find that place, he would naturally be able to return.

It took Su Changfeng a whole day to clear out the courtyard. Only then did he feel a little regret for having refused Wang Junyi’s suggestion. If he’d let a group of servants clean up, this place would have been ready long ago. But since he was doing it alone, it had taken him this long to clear just the courtyard. He hadn’t even had a chance to clean any of the rooms.

”It seems cleaning isn’t an easy task. I’ll just clean one room then. After all, it’s just me living here, and one room is enough,” Su Changfeng quietly decided.

Then, Su Changfeng settled down in the small courtyard, and the discussions in Tianshui City regarding him gradually died down. After all, people from Xingluo had arrived, and the city’s people’s attention was entirely focused on them, so all discussion about Tianshui City became related to this event.

Xingluo had dispatched three people this time, all dressed in luxurious attire with an extraordinary demeanor. Even Tianshui City Lord Wang Chongxing was cautious upon meeting them, afraid of leaving a bad impression.

”Please have a seat, gentlemen. My son will be here shortly,” Wang Chongxing said to the group.

The group remained silent, showing no intention of sitting down, as if they completely disregarded Wang Chongxing as a city lord.

Seeing this, Wang Chongxing felt somewhat awkward, but he dared not say anything. After all, they were people from Xingluo, and he was just a modest city lord, in no position to express any opinion.

Before long, Wang Junyi arrived with the Blood Lion, a hint of astonishment in the eyes of the three from Xingluo.

At first, they couldn’t believe that someone with Fourth Rank strength could tame a Seven-star Blood Lion. But now, seeing it firsthand, they were quite impressed, as such a Beast Tamer was indeed rare.

”Did you really tame this Blood Lion yourself?” someone asked Wang Junyi.

”Reporting to the esteemed gentlemen, I did indeed,” Wang Junyi responded, respectfully and confidently.

Someone stepped forward, staring at Wang Junyi intensely as if to see right through him: ”No one helped you?”

Over the years, Wang Junyi’s greatest skill was lying. He could do it without blushing or gasping, and even in front of these Xingluo figures, he showed no qualms, saying, ”Of course, I tamed it myself. If someone had helped, who would be willing to let me keep such an Exotic Beast?”
