The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”Well, Aunt-Master, it’s exactly because there are all these vulgar, tacky girls around that your otherworldly temperament stands out even more.” Wang Junyi said, trying his best to get Chen Qingqing to notice him.

”Oh? And how am I otherworldly, hmm? Go on, tell me.” Chen Qingqing asked with a perfectly natural expression.

”Aunt-Master, let’s not even start with how you’re way prettier than them—your temperament alone leaves them blocks behind. But Aunt-Master, you’ve got way too many good points, how could I finish in just a moment or two? How about next time we have some free time, I slowly tell them all to you?” Wang Junyi said calmly.

After licking after Shen Rushuang for so many years, Wang Junyi’s simp skills were already honed to perfection, so when faced with Chen Qingqing’s deliberate little traps, dealing with them was a total breeze for him.

Su Changfeng felt goosebumps all over his body; he hadn’t expected that watching someone grovel like this would feel this way.

But in his heart, he still greatly admired Wang Junyi’s level of shamelessness—if it were him, Su Changfeng really couldn’t bring himself to say things like that.

”Since I’m so great, do you think you’re worthy of me?” Chen Qingqing suddenly shot back. Wang Junyi was instantly at a loss for words.

”Hahahaha...” Su Changfeng finally broke; he couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. He really hadn’t expected Chen Qingqing to say something like that.

In Su Changfeng’s impression, Chen Qingqing had always been a shy, bashful girl; this kind of line really wasn’t her style. But facing someone as thick-skinned as Wang Junyi, she apparently just couldn’t hold back and let it all out.

For a moment, Wang Junyi’s face went completely dark. Seeing Su Changfeng laughing at him as well, he didn’t dare say much more and could only lower his head in aggrieved silence.

Chen Qingqing suddenly patted Wang Junyi on the shoulder and said earnestly, ”Since you also understand how great I am, then stop having all these weird ideas, got it?”

Wang Junyi felt like he’d just suffered the worst blow of his entire life, even worse than what he’d gone through with Shen Rushuang back then.

This was basically strangling the seeds of love right in the cradle. He hadn’t even had time to start pursuing her, and Chen Qingqing’s few words had already completely shattered his plans.

”Keep it up. Chasing girls takes thick skin. I believe you can definitely do it.” Su Changfeng deliberately slowed his pace and said quietly to Wang Junyi.

He wasn’t trying to forcefully matchmake them; he just felt that since a chance like this had appeared, how could you casually give it up?

Su Changfeng knew very well that Chen Qingqing liked him, but that kind of liking was definitely not going to be reciprocated. So if Wang Junyi really could end up with Chen Qingqing, that would indeed be something for Su Changfeng to be happy about.

If Chen Qingqing’s ”life’s big event” could be resolved here on the Tianyuan Continent, that wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.

”Master, do you really believe I can pull it off?” Wang Junyi said with a bitter smile. The blow he’d taken from Chen Qingqing was too big; he was already thinking of giving up.

”I think it’s possible.” Su Changfeng said.

Hearing that, Wang Junyi’s eyes lit up at once. ”Really?” he asked.

”Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” Su Changfeng said.

Wang Junyi hurriedly nodded. Naturally, he hoped to get Su Changfeng’s affirmation and was willing to believe that his pursuit of Chen Qingqing would succeed.

”Trying to melt an ice mountain isn’t that simple. You have to stick with it, you need relentless perseverance.” Su Changfeng said earnestly.

Wang Junyi nodded and said seriously, ”Master, don’t worry. Perseverance is what I’m best at!”

”Heh, that’s called being thick-skinned, okay? But if you want to chase women, your face really does have to be thick. I have to say, you’ve always done a great job in that department.” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

For this kind of teasing, Wang Junyi just smiled and didn’t show any sign of getting angry.

Just as everyone was about to enter the auction house, a familiar figure suddenly walked out from the side and blocked their path.

”You sure you’re in the right place? This is the highest-level auction. What are you doing here joining the fun for no reason?” Mu Yan sized Su Changfeng up with outright disdain, his tone full of mockery.

This issue with Mu Yan, if left unresolved, was guaranteed to blow up into a scene. Su Changfeng had long since been prepared for this. So when Mu Yan came over, Su Changfeng didn’t find it strange at all.

This young man looked elegant and refined, clearly a noble son from a powerful family, but his temperament was petty to the extreme, unable to tolerate the slightest loss.

”What, you can attend but we can’t?” Wang Junyi glared back at him with open contempt.

Mu Yan had no interest in tangling with Wang Junyi; in his eyes, someone like this simply didn’t count for anything.

”There are a lot of events I can attend, but whether you can—that’s another story.” Mu Han hooked up the corner of his mouth in smugness, pulled out a card from his person, and said, ”See this? If you want to go in, you need this. If you don’t want to embarrass yourselves, hurry up and go back. If you get thrown out, you won’t even have time to regret it.”

Wang Junyi gave him a look as if he were staring at an idiot. The card in this guy’s hand wasn’t the same as Su Changfeng’s. From that alone, it was obvious that even though this was the highest-tier auction, they still divided guests by rank.

Wang Junyi didn’t doubt it at all; he could be sure that the card Su Changfeng had was definitely the best one. After all, the value of the Fate Fruit was right there. Among all these great clans entering today, most were here for the Fate Fruit. How could some guy like Mu Yan compare?

”Wow, what’s that? I really haven’t seen one before.” Wang Junyi exclaimed in exaggerated surprise.

Only then did Mu Yan look at Wang Junyi with a face full of pity. This guy didn’t even have an entry card and still had the nerve to come to an auction. Wasn’t he just here to embarrass himself?

”Idiot!” Mu Yan gave Wang Junyi a cold glare, then turned his gaze back to Su Changfeng. The one he wanted to deal with was Su Changfeng; a small fry like Wang Junyi wasn’t worth his attention.

”I haven’t forgotten the grudge between us. Just you wait—you’re not walking out of Xinluo City alive.” Mu Yan said coldly.

For this kind of rich playboy brat, Su Changfeng no longer felt much of anything. Over so many years, he’d heard who knows how many lines like this, and he couldn’t even remember what ended up happening to those people.

People like this naturally weren’t worth his notice.

Just then, a middle-aged man with an imposing aura walked over from the side. He was massively built, looking almost like a bear.

Mu Yan slightly lowered his head and said respectfully, ”Father, this is the guy who doesn’t put our Mu Family in his eyes.”

The man seemed to already understand the grudge between Mu Yan and Su Changfeng. Hearing this, his expression immediately sank, and he said directly to Su Changfeng, ”Young man, do you know what comes of being too arrogant?”
