The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”Master, aren’t you going to look for your sister?” Wang Junyi mentioned the matter, looking a bit guilty. After all, Su Changfeng had only entrusted him with this one task, yet he not only failed to find her, he hadn’t found a single clue.

”She’s not in Tianshui City. Have your people come back,” Su Changfeng said.

From Su Changfeng’s tone, it seemed he already knew about Chen Qingqing’s whereabouts. Curious, Wang Junyi asked, ”Master, do you already know where your sister is?”

”Not yet, but someone knows her whereabouts, and we should meet soon.” In truth, Su Changfeng wasn’t sure when You Meng would reveal Chen Qingqing’s location, but for now, there was no choice but to wait.

”Master, I’ll start preparing now. I’ll seek you early tomorrow,” Wang Junyi said.

The next day, four people left Tianshui City. Wang Chongxing personally came to see them off. He initially considered sending guards, but dismissed the thought.

On the one hand, he knew Su Changfeng was always low-key; on the other, considering Su Changfeng’s power, if he couldn’t handle the opponents, sending more experts would be moot.

Wang Chongxing stood by the city gate, watching them depart.

This was a true leave-taking for Wang Junyi, who knew when he might return. Naturally, Wang Chongxing worried, but he knew that when they met again, his son would likely be a true master, perhaps even esteemed by Xingluo. The thought eased his farewell sadness somewhat.

He hadn’t expected much from Wang Junyi initially. He knew his son’s capabilities well. But now, his son seemed reborn; maybe the Wang Family’s future rested on his shoulders.

”Just follow him sincerely; only he can show you higher vistas.”

Wang Junyi was full of anticipation for this journey. Having spent so long in Tianshui City with a stagnant life, traveling with Su Changfeng meant witnessing countless new things.

Wang Junyi initially thought there were only three of them, but unexpectedly, there was an additional young girl, too beautiful that Wang Junyi couldn’t help but glance at her several times.

”Master, who is she? I don’t recognize her. Is she a friend of yours?” Wang Junyi asked curiously.

”A beggar picked up casually, not really a friend,” Su Changfeng replied frankly, unconcerned about You Meng’s reaction.

”A beggar?” Wang Junyi looked shocked; she didn’t resemble a beggar but more like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Her aura was nothing a beggar could possess.

”Master, stop joking; how could someone like this be a beggar?” Wang Junyi said incredulously.

”Who says she can’t be? If you don’t believe me, ask Yu’er,” Su Changfeng suggested.

Wang Junyi approached Qiutang Yu’er, but before he spoke, she said, ”I’m not sure if she’s a beggar, but she did appear dressed as one before; maybe she’s doing it to elicit sympathy.”

Qiutang Yuer’s voice held unfettered sarcasm, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction. No matter who it was, having a sudden competitor would make anyone uneasy.

Wang Junyi scrutinized You Meng; from any angle, she didn’t resemble a beggar. It seemed she purposefully disguised herself to approach Su Changfeng, likely with other motives.

Frankly, Su Changfeng’s audacity was astonishing—keeping her around despite knowing her ulterior motives was baffling.

”What’s your name?” Wang Junyi asked You Meng.

”You Meng.”

”You Meng?” Hearing the name, Wang Junyi couldn’t help but furrow his brows; it felt strangely familiar.

”Did we meet before? Your name sounds familiar,” Wang Junyi asked.

Su Changfeng smiled; he hadn’t expected such a cliché pick-up line. In his world, it would likely be dismissed.

”I’ve never been to Tianshui City; how could you have met me?” You Meng replied coolly.

Of course, Wang Junyi wasn’t making the claim to flirt; the name genuinely felt familiar.

Reflecting on the familiarity, he suddenly realized it.

”I’ve finally remembered,” Wang Junyi said excitedly.

Noticing Wang Junyi’s excitement, Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow and asked, ”What did you think of?”

”Master,” Wang Junyi hurriedly approached Su Changfeng and said, ”Master, have you heard of the top expert in Xingluo?”

”No,” Su Changfeng shook his head.

”You Meng—that’s true Primordial Essence rank. Her name is remarkably similar to You Meng’s,” Wang Junyi said.

You Meng? A Primordial Essence rank master?

But what did this have to do with You Meng? She was just a young girl. Could a mere similarity in names truly imply a connection?

Su Changfeng chuckled, unconcerned, ”Are you her relative?”

You Meng laughed, neither confirming nor denying, simply saying, ”If you want to think that, I don’t mind, but does that make you fear me?”

”Humph,” Qiutang Yu’er scoffed disdainfully before Su Changfeng could respond, ”You’re dreaming if you think so. Merely having a similar name hardly ties you to Xingluo’s top expert. Ridiculous.”

You Meng said nothing, focusing intently on Su Changfeng.

”If you truly know You Meng, I’d love an introduction; then I could witness Primordial Master’s prowess,” Su Changfeng said.

You Meng examined him, curious, ”Is your current strength greater than Primordial Essence?”

”How can you say such things?” Wang Junyi interrupted, aware Primordial Essence rank masters weren’t casually discussed.

Besides, Primordial Essence ranks were the strongest, the final rank of the late stage third rank. How could anyone surpass it?
