The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”I heard from Wang Junyi that you’ve been searching for a woman. Is she your wife?” Qiutang Yu’er asked.

”Well, you sure know a lot about my business.”

”Hmph, and this isn’t all I know. I’ve seen her portrait too, and how is she prettier than me?” Qiutang Yu’er said, visibly disgruntled.

When she first saw the portrait of Chen Qingqing, she felt frustrated. She even thought Su Changfeng was blind, preferring that average-looking woman over herself, who was stunning.

”She’s my sister,” Su Changfeng explained helplessly.

”Sister?” Qiutang Yu’er had always considered Chen Qingqing her rival and had often pondered what Chang Feng saw in her.

To her surprise, after harboring such thoughts for so long, Chen Qingqing turned out to be just Su Changfeng’s sister!

”You’re lying!” Qiutang Yu’er looked at Su Changfeng skeptically.

”Do I have a reason to lie to you? Is it worth my time to put so much thought into this? You’re overthinking.” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

In a moment, Qiutang Yu’er felt as if she had been punched, utterly deflated. Thinking back to when she secretly compared herself to Chen Qingqing, it all seemed like a waste of time.

”Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Then I wouldn’t have considered her a rival.” Qiutang Yu’er said crossly.

”You never asked me, so how would I tell you? But let me warn you, if you consider my wife a rival, that’s very foolish. In my heart, you don’t even compare to her.” Su Changfeng said bluntly.

Qiutang Yu’er was already accustomed to Chang Feng’s hurtful truths. She long understood that the man before her would never show tender feelings; hearing a kind word from him was nearly impossible.

Su Changfeng sat in the courtyard. He could have introduced Shen Hanxue to Qiutang Yu’er earlier. When he came to Tianyuan Continent, he still carried photos of Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai. But after being unconscious for so long, who knows where the photos went.

They might have disappeared in the Space Tunnel.

Now, all he could do was rely on the images in his mind to miss his wife and daughter.

The next day, Su Changfeng decided to take a stroll. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a small figure lying outside, sleeping. She was filthy, looking like she hadn’t bathed in a long time, resembling a little beggar.

Su Changfeng frowned, the sour smell from the person was quite apparent and unpleasant.

The little beggar was startled by the door opening, her body trembling as she seemed terrified, cautiously raising her head, looking pitifully and helplessly at Su Changfeng, as if afraid he would harm her.

Her face was dirty too, but he could tell it was a girl. Su Changfeng paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

He squatted down and asked, ”Are you hungry? Want to come in for some food?”

The little beggar shrank back, seemingly afraid to speak.

”Don’t be scared, I don’t mean any harm. How about this, I’ll ask a big sister in the house to take you inside.”

With that, Su Changfeng called into the courtyard, ”Yu’er, come here for a second.”

Qiutang Yu’er came by, somewhat impatiently, and snapped, ”What?”

”Take this little one inside and get her something to eat.” Su Changfeng instructed briefly before turning to leave.

No one saw that at the moment he turned, an unusual gleam flickered in his eyes.

A little beggar, and a girl at that, interesting.

Whether in Tianshui City or Qiyun City where he had been before, he had never seen one like this. After all, if she were truly a beggar, she would likely have already been taken by a brothel.

”Who are you, and do you even know where this is? This isn’t a place you can enter just like that!”

At the City Lord Mansion gates, Su Changfeng was stopped by guards outside.

The guards in uniform were robust and looked at Su Changfeng menacingly.

Su Changfeng found the scene oddly familiar, a smile creeping onto the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, it was familiar. These people were like those security guards, always putting on airs and stopping him. He had plenty of experience with this.

Evidently, it has nothing to do with country or era, as human nature is the same. No matter where you are, there will always be people who look down on others.

”I’m here to see Wang Junyi. Just let him know, and he’ll let me in,” Su Changfeng said.

The guard looked at him disdainfully. For the City Lord Mansion, Wang Junyi was a source of pride and boasting. After all, with a fifth-rank strength, just being a guard at the mansion gave them a sense of privilege.

As for this guy in front of them asking to see Wang Junyi and speaking so rudely, who did he think he was? How could Wang Junyi possibly meet him?

”Kid, if you’re smart, you’d better get lost, or else you’ll be sorry!” the guard glared at Su Changfeng.

”If you’re smart, you’d better ask Wang Junyi. Otherwise, it’s you who’ll be in trouble.” Su Changfeng responded with a smile.

Just then, someone else whispered, ”Do you think he might be a friend of the young master?”

”Friend?” The other snorted disdainfully, ”I’ve been here for years, and I know all the young master’s friends. I’ve never seen this guy; how could he be a friend of the young master?”

The other nodded in agreement. The speaker had indeed been at the City Lord Mansion for many years, and if Su Changfeng were really a friend of Wang Junyi, how could he not have seen him?

”Alright, you’d better head back, or we’ll really show no mercy.”

”I just want to see my own apprentice, can’t you make an exception?” Su Changfeng said helplessly.

”Apprentice? Are you crazy? How could young master be your apprentice? Do you think you’re Su Changfeng?”

”The young master’s master is a powerful expert. Are you an expert?”

”Hahaha...”

They burst out laughing. Being stationed there, they naturally didn’t know about the Shen Family affairs and had limited understanding of Su Changfeng.

To them, real experts were always elderly, as rank requires time to accumulate. How could a young person reach such ranks?

So to them, Su Changfeng was surely lying. They had never heard of a late stage third-rank expert looking so young.

”I am indeed Su Changfeng. If you don’t believe me, just ask Wang Junyi to see me. Then you’ll find out, and if you keep blocking me, he’ll definitely punish you.” Su Changfeng said.
