The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

After Chen Qingqing went upstairs, she went directly to Su Changfeng’s room.

Su Changfeng looked at Chen Qingqing with a teasing expression, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

”Brother Changfeng, what are you doing? It’s kind of creepy,” Chen Qingqing said with her head lowered.

”I think Wang Junyi is quite good,” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

”Brother Changfeng, stop talking nonsense. How could we possibly be together?” Chen Qingqing couldn’t help rolling her eyes as she spoke.

Noticing her reaction, Su Changfeng silently lit a candle for Wang Junyi in his heart. If Chen Qingqing had shown even a little bit of shyness, maybe Wang Junyi would have had a chance. But if Chen Qingqing had any good feelings toward him, she wouldn’t have reacted this way.

”Ah, it seems there’s going to be another lovesick man in the world who can’t get what he wants,” Su Changfeng shook his head and said.

Chen Qingqing pouted, obviously disagreeing with Su Changfeng’s words. How could someone like Wang Junyi be a lovesick man? It was clear that this kind of thing didn’t suit someone like Wang Junyi.

”Brother Changfeng, how could a young master like Wang Junyi be heartbroken over a woman? You’re overthinking things,” Chen Qingqing said helplessly.

Su Changfeng said seriously, ”How am I overthinking it? I really should defend Wang Junyi a bit here. Although he hasn’t achieved much, in terms of emotions, he’s quite lovesick. You’re saying this now because you don’t really know him, but you’ll understand eventually.”

Back then in Tianshui City, Wang Junyi liked Shen Rushuang for many years. No matter how many setbacks he faced, he never gave up. This shows he truly has the potential to be lovesick.

Anyway, he is the young master of the City Lord Mansion, so finding a good girl isn’t that difficult. But he chased Shen Rushuang single-mindedly for many years, which showed he did quite well.

”Brother Changfeng, let’s not talk about him. This time, since you killed someone from the Mu Family, won’t it cause trouble?” Chen Qingqing didn’t want to discuss Wang Junyi’s matter with Su Changfeng and decided to change the topic.

”There probably won’t be any issues with the Mu Family, but the Situ Family is much more complicated,” Su Changfeng said.

”The matter with the Mu Family won’t stay hidden for long. Situ Yuan might use this as an excuse to trouble us, and then we’d be in big trouble,” Chen Qingqing said worriedly.

Su Changfeng chuckled, as he truly wasn’t concerned about this matter.

When he killed those from the Mu Family, no one else was present, so he could completely deny it. Even if everyone knew the Mu Family’s people died at his hands, without evidence, no one could do anything to him.

Moreover, the Emperor might choose to side with him because of this, so he really didn’t need to worry.

Of course, even if the Emperor didn’t want to help him, he still had countermeasures. At worst, he’d leave Xingluo, and then no one would be able to do anything to him.

”Don’t worry, even if Situ Yuan wants to use this opportunity to make trouble, it doesn’t matter. Since no one witnessed it, there’s no need to worry,” Su Changfeng said.

”But, what about those bodies?” Chen Qingqing frowned and asked. Although no one saw Su Changfeng kill, if people saw the bodies, wouldn’t that be evidence of something?

”Don’t forget, Wang Junyi is a Seven-star Beast Tamer. Let those people become a good meal for the Blood Lion. How could there be bodies?” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingqing immediately understood why Su Changfeng had Wang Junyi handle the bodies; he had planned it all along.

A few hours later, the inn was finally clean, but those who moved back in were all trembling with fear.

So many people from the Mu Family disappeared mysteriously. Everyone knew their fate, but not seeing any bodies made people uneasy.

Despite this, they all lived there. If this caused any unnecessary trouble, they would really be doomed.

So that day, many people left the inn one after another, and the news of the mysterious disappearance of the Mu Family quickly spread.

Shen Mao’s home.

When Shen Mao learned of this, he looked very serious. He understood that the disappearance of the Mu Family was definitely Su Changfeng’s doing, and from this he could foresee that Xinluo City would be anything but peaceful in the coming days.

”Have you heard? The people from the Mu Family disappeared mysteriously,” Ren Xuetao said as he hurriedly found Shen.

”I’ve heard. It’s spread throughout Xinluo City; how could I not hear it? But this is not something we can meddle in, understand?” Shen Mao warned cautiously.

Ren Xuetao naturally understood, but he was too curious. He said to Shen Mao, ”Do you think, with what’s happened, Situ Yuan will use this chance to make things difficult for Su Changfeng?”

”I don’t know if he’ll cause trouble, but anyways, only one of Situ Yuan and Su Changfeng can leave Xinluo City alive. Who do you think it will be?” Shen Mao asked.

Faced with this question, Ren Xuetao didn’t know how to answer. After all, Su Changfeng’s strength is evident, but Situ Yuan’s status is equally formidable. If Su Changfeng really dared to kill Situ Yuan, it was quite possible. But he worried, would killing Situ Yuan bring a series of troubles?

”Do you think Su Changfeng really dares to take action against Situ Yuan?” Ren Xuetao asked with a frown.

”Actually, before the auction ended, he came to me personally. Guess what the first thing he said was?” Shen Mao deliberately teased.

Upon hearing this, Ren Xuetao’s curiosity was ignited immediately, and he asked urgently, ”What did he say? Hurry up and tell me.”

”He came in and asked me, if Situ Yuan died, would it cause too much commotion?” Shen Mao said.

Ren Xuetao’s expression changed instantly. If Su Changfeng dared to ask such a thing, it was enough to prove that he had already made up his mind to kill Situ Yuan.

This result indeed surprised Ren Xuetao. No matter what, with Situ Yuan’s identity, how brave must one be to dare to claim to kill him?

”Situ Yuan has obtained the Fate Fruit, and I’ve received word that after Situ Yuan returned, he hasn’t come out again. Looks like he won’t be closing his eyes for the next few days. Xinluo City seems destined to experience a storm of blood and rain,” Ren Xuetao said.

”Anyway, Xinluo City wouldn’t be peaceful for a few days, but there is one thing that I’ve never figured out,” Shen Mao said, frowning.
