The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

When Su Changfeng saw Chen Qingqing, he froze, unable to react. He never expected that after searching for Chen Qingqing for so long, she would suddenly appear right before him, giving him a dreamlike feeling.

”Brother Changfeng.” Chen Qingqing walked to Su Changfeng with excitement, her eyes shimmering with tears.

Su Changfeng carefully examined Chen Qingqing, his face showing signs of excitement, repeatedly saying: ”Good, good, it’s fine then...”

”Master, so this is Master Aunt.” Wang Junyi swallowed slowly, saying, although he had seen Chen Qingqing’s portrait before, the real person looked much better than the picture.

”This is Wang Junyi, my new apprentice,” Su Changfeng introduced.

”Greetings, Master Aunt.”

”This is Yu’er, more like a friend.” Su Changfeng introduced Wang Junyi and Qiutang Yu’er to Chen Qingqing, then looked at You Meng. Only at this moment did he realize that Chen Qingqing came together with You Meng.

Why are they together?

”She is You Meng,” Su Changfeng said calmly.

Chen Qingqing smiled: ”I know, we met yesterday, she even brought me to find you.”

Su Changfeng didn’t speak, trying to conceal his emotional fluctuations inside.

You Meng proactively explained: ”That’s right, yesterday I was out for a stroll and ran into her. I recognized her from the portrait.”

”Why didn’t you bring her to see me immediately?” Su Changfeng asked with no expression.

”You know, everyone in Xinluo City is looking for you now. I had to make sure if she was the sister you were searching for.” You Meng said frankly.

”Junyi, didn’t you say earlier that you were going out?” Su Changfeng suddenly looked at Wang Junyi and said.

Wang Junyi immediately realized and quickly replied: ”Yes, yes, I have some errands to run. You siblings should have a good talk. Yu’er, You Meng, let’s all go out.”

After everyone left, Su Changfeng looked at Chen Qingqing and asked, ”Have you been with You Meng all this time?”

”Yes, she said she’s your friend, so I followed her,” Chen Qingqing explained.

”Did she ask you anything?” Su Changfeng probed further.

”No, but she told me many things about your time in Tianshui City. Only then did I realize you’ve become someone’s live-in son-in-law again,” Chen Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh.

With You Meng’s character, how could she casually tell Chen Qingqing such things? She was clearly trying to get close and deliberately make Chen Qingqing drop her guard.

”Are you sure she didn’t ask you anything?” Su Changfeng confirmed again.

Chen Qingqing looked bewildered, shaking her head.

Suddenly, Su Changfeng caught a whiff of alcohol from Chen Qingqing’s direction. He asked, ”Did you drink alcohol? What happened?”

Chen Qingqing rubbed her head and said, ”I drank last night, somehow got drunk.”

Su Changfeng’s heart sank and he asked, ”Was it with You Meng?”

”Yes,” Chen Qingqing replied straightforwardly.

Seeing Chen Qingqing’s innocent demeanor, Su Changfeng’s heart sank. When drunk, a person usually lets their guard down and might say things they shouldn’t say. If You Meng took this opportunity to ask something, then Chen Qingqing might have revealed those secrets to her.

Noticing Su Changfeng suddenly asked a series of questions, all concerning You Meng, with a slightly unpleasant expression, Chen Qingqing finally realized something and asked, ”Brother Changfeng, what’s going on? Is there something wrong with You Meng?”

Of course, there is a problem with You Meng. She inexplicably appeared outside the courtyard and insisted on sticking around, surely with some hidden intentions. And Su Changfeng has been wary of this woman ever since, as she is the first person he couldn’t see through.

She appears to be an ordinary person without any power, yet somehow different from ordinary people, which is extremely terrifying, as this situation could imply her strength surpassing Su Changfeng’s.

”It’s nothing, just random questions. But Qingqing, remember, this place isn’t ours, be cautious and don’t trust others easily,” Su Changfeng advised.

He didn’t want Chen Qingqing to blame herself for this, so he didn’t express his concerns but had to make Chen Qingqing understand to be wary of You Meng.

Chen Qingqing’s expression turned serious. She was smart and understood the meaning behind Su Changfeng’s words. From this, it was evident that the relationship between Su Changfeng and You Meng wasn’t as close as she had thought.

”Okay, I understand.”

”Tomorrow is the auction. I suppose we won’t have peaceful days anymore.” Su Changfeng sighed. Since arriving at the Tianyuan Continent, he hadn’t faced any big troubles. Whether it was the Shen Family or the Seventh-rank expert from Xingluo, these were still within Su Changfeng’s control.

But this time, too many things are involved, including even the top family within Xingluo Territory. It’s not hard to imagine that his peaceful days are over.

”Su Changfeng, I don’t want to stay quiet any longer. It’s not fun at all,” Chen Qingqing said, smiling.

Su Changfeng chuckled, a hint of something flashed in his eyes, teasingly said: ”Didn’t expect you’ve changed so much, you’ve even become battle-hungry.”

”Brother Changfeng, I just want to see how powerful I am. I haven’t found a chance to test myself yet,” Chen Qingqing said.

Chenguang Hall.

Everything happening in Xinluo City was immediately reported to the Emperor.

Ren Xuetao and Situ Yuan went one after the other to Shen Mao’s house, hoping to learn from Shen Mao the seller behind the Fate Fruit. Later, Situ Yuan injured Shen Mao, who then struggled to meet Su Changfeng, confirming the subordinates’ speculation that the seller behind the Fate Fruit was indeed Su Changfeng.

The result was indeed unexpected, but thinking seriously, it seemed only this result was somewhat acceptable.

After all, getting something like the Fate Fruit isn’t easy. Su Changfeng having it isn’t surprising.

”Shen Mao went to see Su Changfeng, probably hoping Su Changfeng would help resolve the threat from Situ Yuan,” the Emperor said blandly.

The subordinate chuckled maliciously: ”If Su Changfeng agrees, then the drama in Xinluo City will get really lively.”

”The Situ Family has indeed grown restless over the years, nearly catching up to the Qiutang Clan from back then. Situ Yuan probably wants the Fate Fruit to cultivate a Primordial Master for the family; guess what his purpose is?” the Emperor asked.
