The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”Little girl who knows nothing, do you know what Primordial Essence represents?” Wang Junyi looked at her with some dissatisfaction.

You Meng asked with a face full of confusion, ”What does it represent?”

Wang Junyi looked at You Meng with some disdain, then said, ”That’s someone who can overlook everything, like the heavens and earth themselves.”

”Wow, I didn’t expect the Primordial Essence to be so powerful.” You Meng said with a tone of amazement.

Such an expression was completely like someone who hadn’t seen much of the world and was startled. Qiutang Yu’er and Wang Junyi couldn’t help but roll their eyes, thinking You Meng was truly ignorant to not even know the might of a Primordial Master.

However, Su Changfeng noticed that You Meng’s reaction was overly exaggerated. Normally, an average person would indeed be shocked by the power of a Primordial Master, but her exclamation was not sincere; she was deliberately acting. What does this imply?

From this, it was clear that You Meng didn’t take Primordial Masters seriously, or perhaps, to her, Primordial Masters weren’t difficult to approach.

Could it be that this You Meng is indeed related to You Meng? Why would a relative of the strongest in the Xingluo Territory seek me out?

When they left Tianshui City and arrived in Xinluo City, it was more than half a month later. Su Changfeng couldn’t help but miss the transportation from their world. If the transportation here was just as convenient, they could probably reach Xinluo City in a few hours, so why would it take so long?

Not only was it a waste of time, but also energy. The key issue was that on this journey, Qiutang Yu’er and You Meng had caused who knows how much trouble.

After all, traveling with two beauties, how could there not be trouble? Fortunately, Wang Junyi stepped up, so Su Changfeng didn’t need to handle these matters personally; they were mostly resolved.

Looking at the grand and magnificent city gate in front of them, which was far superior to their Tianshui City, Wang Junyi couldn’t help but express his admiration out loud.

”Originally, I thought Qiyun City was impressive, but after seeing Xinluo City, I understand what ’there’s always a bigger fish’ means. This is exaggerated! It’s just a city gate, yet they made it this big.” Wang Junyi clicked his tongue in wonder, showing a small-town person who hadn’t seen much.

Su Changfeng, on the other hand, remained calm. Although the prosperity here far surpassed that of Tianshui City and Qiyun City, Su Changfeng had seen many modern buildings before. Compared to his place, Xinluo City’s buildings were still too far behind.

”Master, how come you’re not surprised at all?” Noticing Su Changfeng’s calm demeanor, Wang Junyi asked curiously.

”Get rid of that wide-eyed look of yours to avoid people laughing at you.” Su Changfeng said.

Wang Junyi, a bit embarrassed, curbed his inner amazement. But as soon as he walked through the city gate, he couldn’t control himself again because the buildings inside were so strange, totally different from any city he’d seen before.

As Su Changfeng surveyed the city’s architecture, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Judging from what he had seen in Tianshui City and Qiyun City, the architectural style within Xingluo Territory was generally quaint and classical. But Fengshang City was peculiar; it was filled with modern elements, fundamentally different from the styles of Tianshui City and Qiyun City.

”Master, the buildings here are so strange. I’ve never seen anything like it. Look, that one even has a pointed top?” Wang Junyi asked Su Changfeng, his face full of bewilderment.

”Take a good look around. Everyone is laughing at you; can’t you pay a bit more attention?” Wang Junyi’s undisguised astonishment had already drawn ridicule from many, so Su Changfeng had to once again remind him to keep it in check.

Wang Junyi’s embarrassment was none of his concern, but he certainly didn’t want to be mocked.

Wang Junyi didn’t want to embarrass himself like this either, but he just couldn’t control it. The words came out involuntarily.

”Master, I want to, but I really can’t control it,” Wang Junyi said, frowning.

Su Changfeng couldn’t help but twitch his lips in exasperation and said no more to him, instead directly suggesting, ”Let’s quickly find an inn to stay at.”

As they searched for an inn, You Meng quietly moved to the back.

In her view, Wang Junyi’s reaction was perfectly normal. Whoever came to Xinluo City for the first time would have Wang Junyi-style reactions since Xinluo City’s architecture was unique within the Xingluo Territory, some might even say one of a kind.

Xinluo City had been established for over 200 years. Legend has it that the person who designed Xinluo City had visited another world, and he built Xinluo City in imitation of that world.

Of course, this is just a legend. Some say the builder created such a world not because he’d been to a new world but because he once had a dream. After all, only in dreams could such astonishing buildings appear.

However, she noticed that ever since Su Changfeng came in, he had shown no sign of surprise at all, only fleeting confusion. So You Meng was very curious about him.

How did he manage to remain so calm? Are these things so ordinary to him, or does he have a strong enough mind to remain undisturbed in the face of such extraordinary sights?

For the moment, You Meng couldn’t determine which possibility it was, but she knew in her heart that Su Changfeng was definitely out of the ordinary.

New Moon Inn.

The group initially intended to take four rooms, but there was only one left here, so Su Changfeng planned to change inns. Unexpectedly, the owner said that no other inns had rooms either. The reason there was one left here was that a guest had suddenly left; if not for their good fortune, they wouldn’t have found a place to stay today.

”Owner, do your inns usually have this many people?” Wang Junyi thought the owner’s words were a bit exaggerated, so he couldn’t help but ask.

”Normally, it’s not this crowded, but you must be from out of town, so you wouldn’t know about the lively events in Xinluo City right now?” The owner smiled, showing no disdain for Wang Junyi. Instead, he seemed very interested in helping them understand.

”What’s the excitement?” Wang Junyi was indeed very curious.

”Xinluo City’s largest auction house, Xinlong Auction House, is about to start its biannual auction. The items auctioned are always valuable, and many people come here just for it. Around this time, it gets very lively. Even those who don’t buy anything want to join the fun, so inns are naturally in high demand.” The owner explained.
