The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

You Meng saw this and waved his hand understandingly, ”No problem, no problem. If you find it difficult, you don’t have to say it.”

Chen Qingqing nodded silently, ultimately saying nothing more.

To break the silent atmosphere and make Chen Qingqing trust her more, You Meng continued, ”Let me tell you, your brother was once someone’s live-in son-in-law in Tianshui City.”

”What, a live-in son-in-law?” Chen Qingqing looked at You Meng in disbelief.

This term was truly too familiar.

Back in Jiang City, Su Changfeng also became the Shen Family’s live-in son-in-law, which ended up making him the laughingstock of Jiang City. Now, arriving at Tianyuan Continent, history has unexpectedly repeated itself. Is it possible that he has such a strong connection with this term?

For a moment, Chen Qingqing found it ironic and didn’t even know what to say.

”Yeah, it caused quite a stir in Tianshui City at the time. The other party was one of the three major families in Tianshui City. No one expected them to get married,” You Meng said.

Chen Qingqing was even more at a loss for words; it was completely an Earth version of the familiar story.

The Shen Family in Jiang City, while not a top-tier family, was still quite good. When Su Changfeng married Shen Hanxue, it equally shocked everyone in Jiang City. Chen Qingqing never imagined that after arriving in Tianyuan Continent, he encountered the same situation again.

”I guess he’s just destined for such things,” Chen Qingqing said with a wry smile.

”Destined? What’s going on?” You Meng grew increasingly curious. Could it be that Su Changfeng had been a live-in son-in-law before?

But shouldn’t things like this happen to him constantly? With his skills, does he have such a fetish?

”It’s nothing, I’m just joking,” Chen Qingqing said.

Despite You Meng’s unchanged expression, she was aware there were definitely more secrets about Su Changfeng. She hadn’t fully gained Chen Qingqing’s trust, so she couldn’t ask for the information she wanted yet.

But she wasn’t in a hurry; taking it slowly would be fine.

”I am really curious, why would someone as skilled as him endure such humiliation? He was kicked out of the Shen family and became the joke of Tianshui City. With his abilities, dealing with a Shen family would be so easy,” You Meng asked, pretending to be puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingqing didn’t feel much. Although Su Changfeng wasn’t as powerful back on Earth, his background wasn’t something the Jiang City Shen Family could compare to. Yet, he still endured everything, even becoming the joke of Jiang City without taking any action.

Su Changfeng was not an ordinary person; he had his own way of dealing with situations and principles. Chen Qingqing understood that his prolonged patience was due to his unwillingness to draw too much attention. After all, he originally didn’t belong to Tianyuan Continent, and this must never be disclosed to others.

”My brother is like that; he prefers to keep a low profile and doesn’t like to compete with others,” Chen Qingqing explained kindly.

”With his abilities, he shouldn’t be so low-key. What’s the reason?” You Meng asked curiously.

”It’s probably due to his personality; he’s just like that,” Chen Qingqing dismissed casually.

You Meng didn’t push further, to avoid arousing Chen Qingqing’s suspicions. She had plenty of ways to get the information she wanted from Chen Qingqing at night.

Then the two chatted a bit more, talking about trivial matters.

Meanwhile, someone had already approached Shen Mao.

Just like Qiutang Yu’er had guessed, families were secretly investigating the seller behind Fate Fruit. These people not only wanted the fruit but also aimed to uncover its source.

The first to find Shen Mao’s residence were three elegantly dressed people: an elderly man and two young men, evidently of distinguished origins.

The elder exuded the aura exclusive to a Superior, with a formidable presence.

”Old friends meeting, do you really want to close your doors?” The elder asked quietly in front of the closed gate, his voice not loud but very penetrating.

At this moment, in the courtyard, Shen Mao felt as if thunder had exploded by his ear.

Then, a bitter smile curved on his lips. The old guy outside, he had known him for a long time, always boasting about his powerful skills here.

He hadn’t changed a bit over the years, still the same temperament.

Shen Mao stood up. When an old friend visits, he must go out to greet them, no matter what.

”Ren Xuetao, after all these years, you haven’t changed a bit, still with that lousy temper. What, don’t you understand the basic courtesy of knocking?” Shen Mao glared at him in mock displeasure.

Ren Xuetao snorted, saying, ”Just meeting an old fossil, does it require any courtesy?”

Shen Mao ground his teeth in frustration. They’d been competing openly and secretly since they were young. Now older, Shen Mao’s mind was trained to be steady, but as soon as Ren Xuetao appeared, the suppressed fury surfaced uncontrollably.

”Hmph, what brings you to my humble abode, old geezer?” Shen Mao said.

Ren Xuetao didn’t mince words, entering the courtyard directly, saying as he walked, ”If there wasn’t something going on, you think I’d be here? How many times have I told you, fix up this place properly. You never listen. Could it be you’re broke? If you are, just let me know. Such an amount of money is insignificant to me.”

Shen Mao clenched his fists in anger, throwing a punch at Ren Xuetao.

An old friend reunion showed no excitement or joy imagined; after a couple of sentences, the two went straight into a fight.

Given Ren Xuetao’s abilities, defeating Shen Mao would be effortless. However, Ren Xuetao deliberately matched his power to Shen Mao’s level. They engaged back and forth, quickly fighting for dozens of rounds.

At this point, Shen Mao was panting, but Ren Xuetao’s expression remained unchanged.

”No more, you old devil, just love bullying me,” Shen Mao said, waving his hand. If the fight continued, even without being defeated by Ren Xuetao, exhaustion would eventually cause him to collapse.

Ren Xuetao laughed heartily, saying, ”You’re truly useless. You haven’t been a match since you were young, yet you repeatedly provoke me, never learning.”

Seeing this, Shen Mao’s guards couldn’t help but chuckle, and the two young men with Ren Xuetao also burst into laughter.

On the surface, these two seemed at odds, fighting the moment they met, but their relationship was indeed good. Otherwise, with Ren Xuetao’s prowess, Shen Mao would be flat on the ground by now.

”Hmph, if I hadn’t been injured back then, would you be this arrogant? Don’t forget, if it weren’t for saving that dog, would I have been hurt?” Shen Mao said.

Ren Xuetao glared angrily, gritting his teeth, ”Who are you calling a dog? Trying to die?”
