The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”Since you know something, hurry up and let us see it, don’t waste each other’s time.” Qingmu said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunlong’s expression seemed somewhat troubled. After all, he was just guessing that the corpses of those few people were in the garden, but the garden is so large, how could he be sure where they were buried?

”Sir, the bodies of those few people are indeed in this garden, but as for the exact location, I guess only Su Changfeng knows.” Shen Yunlong said.

Corpses?

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue and Fu Chen couldn’t help but furrow their brows. They naturally didn’t want to face such an outcome, but it seemed things were moving in a direction they didn’t want to see.

Who would’ve thought this Su Changfeng would be so arrogant, daring even to lay his hands on people from Xingluo.

”Ahem ahem.” Qingmu suddenly coughed twice, clearly reminding Wang Yue and Fu Chen to keep their emotions in check. They came here for a more important matter.

Previously, when they came, the Emperor had made it very clear that whether those few people were dead or alive didn’t matter to him. So, what grounds did they have to question Su Changfeng?

”Mr. Ye, can you confirm if what he said is true?” Qingmu looked at Su Changfeng and calmly asked.

Su Changfeng’s heart stirred slightly. He could certainly lie, and they wouldn’t do anything to him, but lies would eventually be uncovered, and he might face even bigger trouble.

Of course, he could also frankly admit it; if they insisted on being entangled, he might as well kill them too. The ultimate result would merely be leaving Xingluo.

”That’s correct.”

With those two bland words, the originally quiet courtyard suddenly became silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Wang Junyi looked at Su Changfeng with a face full of disbelief. He never expected his master to admit it so effortlessly; he wasn’t courting death in the face of such terrifyingly powerful three people?

Of course, Shen Rushuang found it unbelievable too. She didn’t expect Su Changfeng to have such courage, to really kill people from Xingluo and even frankly admit it!

Shen Yunlong was somewhat surprised, but after the surprise, a smile appeared on his lips. In his eyes, Su Changfeng openly admitting killing people from Xingluo wasn’t considered brave; if he tried to conceal it, he certainly couldn’t keep it hidden.

Moreover, the strength of Qingmu and his companions this time far surpassed those who came before, where would Su Changfeng find the courage to lie to them?

”Master, you... you...” Wang Junyi looked at Su Changfeng, stunned, feeling like he was plunged into an icy abyss.

”Wang Junyi, did you already know and then followed Su Changfeng to deceive Xingluo? Do you know the crime of that? As just a son of a City Lord, you dare to ignore Xingluo?” Shen Yunlong intentionally said, clearly not intending to let Wang Junyi off.

Know that Wang Junyi is already a Fifth Rank Expert now, if he doesn’t die, then in Tianshui City, he would still trample on Shen Yunlong, how could he tolerate that?

”Shen Yunlong, you’re talking nonsense. How did I disregard Xingluo?” Wang Junyi retorted reflexively, like a rabbit with its tail stepped on.

”Lord Qingmu, Wang Junyi surely knew about this earlier, yet he helped conceal it for the perpetrator. I hope Lord Qingmu can uphold justice and punish them properly.” Shen Yunlong looked towards Qingmu with a respectful posture and spoke seriously.

Wang Junyi’s legs weakened, almost causing him to fall. If Qingmu really pursued this, then even the City Lord Mansion would be implicated by him, he would truly be doomed.

”Mr. Ye, do you know where the bodies are?” Qingmu looked at Su Changfeng, seemingly without any intention of blaming.

Noticing Qingmu’s attitude, Su Changfeng found it slightly odd. He had already admitted that he was involved in the deaths of those people, yet Qingmu really didn’t mind?

Could it be that they had long guessed, or simply didn’t care about the lives of those few?

But since they didn’t intend to cause trouble, he naturally wouldn’t initiate conflict, so he said, ”Since Shen Yunlong wants to claim credit for this, let him handle it.”

With that, he pointed to where those people were and looked at Shen Yunlong opposite him, saying, ”Don’t you want to prove yourself? Hurry up then.”

Shen Yunlong didn’t think much; he took a hoe from the side and started digging.

Shen Yunlong felt full of power; in his view, by claiming such credit, Xingluo would surely reward him, perhaps even the Emperor would appreciate him. He might even have the opportunity to enter Xingluo.

If he truly could enter Xingluo, then he wouldn’t have to painstakingly seek a master; his strength could also grow rapidly.

”Su Changfeng, you didn’t expect to end up in such a situation today, did you?” Shen Yunlong looked at Su Changfeng with a face full of mockery.

”Master, what exactly are you thinking?” Wang Junyi asked with a strange expression, looking at Su Changfeng.

”Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t be harmed.” Su Changfeng spoke calmly.

Wang Junyi’s heart moved, was his master planning to start a fight with Qingmu and the others?

Naturally, Wang Junyi wouldn’t doubt Su Changfeng’s skills, but even if they defeat Qingmu and the others, then what?

After all, this is Xingluo Territory. If the Emperor truly decides to exterminate him, then no matter how powerful Su Changfeng is, he’ll be trapped to death in the end.

”Master, can you really contend with these people?” Wang Junyi cautiously looked at Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng smiled without speaking.

Before long, Shen Yunlong dug out those few people.

Seeing the bodies, Shen Yunlong’s eyes lit up, excitedly saying to Qingmu and the others, ”Lord Qingmu, the people have been found.”

Qingmu and his companions quickly walked over, looked at the few lying within, and confirmed they were indeed those individuals, meaning Su Changfeng really committed murder.

”Lord Qingmu, Su Changfeng, within Xingluo Territory, disregarded Xingluo, unabashedly killing Xingluo people, please seek judgment from Lord Qingmu.” Shen Yunlong urgently said.

Qingmu shook his head and said, ”Ended up like this, can’t blame anyone else, they were simply outmatched.”

Shen Yunlong was taken aback, completely unaware what Qingmu meant?

Could it be that the matter is settled with merely a statement of being outmatched?

Keep in mind, these people were killed by Su Changfeng, proving he totally disregarded Xingluo. Would Qingmu and the others seriously just brush it off with a simple line of being outmatched?
