The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Earlier, he had tested Su Changfeng, but Su Changfeng appeared calm and unruffled. So the Emperor had no choice but to seriously assess Su Changfeng’s strength. He had never felt such a threat in the hall before. Even as the Emperor, he had some concerns.

Because even when faced with a Primordial Level master, once they entered the hall, he had the confidence to suppress them. However, Su Changfeng was like an unexpected anomaly, and it was only natural for him to feel concerned.

”Su Changfeng, I refuse to believe it. Do you truly dare to disregard me?” the Emperor said coldly.

After a while, Su Changfeng and You Meng arrived at Chenguang Hall. They did not directly seek an audience with the Emperor but first went to You Meng’s residence.

The guards outside had already been withdrawn on the Emperor’s order, and everything appeared the same as when they had left.

But Su Changfeng was no fool; how could he not know the Emperor’s intentions?

”I didn’t expect the Emperor to be so wary of you, not daring to openly do anything to your disciple. Even before you arrived, the people outside were withdrawn,” You Meng remarked with a sigh.

Back then, the Emperor was high and mighty, acting willfully. Whatever he wanted to do, he would ensure it was done. It was the same with the Qiutang Clan; he annihilated them on a whim. But now, even the first person of Xingluo had to resort to such covert actions before Su Changfeng.

This alone showed how important strength was. With absolute power, even someone as exalted as the Emperor had to be cautious.

”What do you think his reaction would be if I took the people and returned directly?” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

You Meng’s brow twitched. If Su Changfeng really didn’t visit the Emperor, it would be like slapping the Emperor’s face.

If he actually did this, the Emperor surely wouldn’t let him leave Chenguang Hall so easily.

”You’re not serious, are you? If you left directly, the Emperor would definitely stop you,” You Meng said, silently praying that Su Changfeng wouldn’t do such a thing, or it would likely lead to a fallout between him and the Emperor.

The key was that with the crisis of the Silver Flood Dragon looming, choosing to fight internally at this time would be impulsive. After all, the more pressing issue was the Sourceless Forest.

”Why not give it a try? I’m curious to see how much he can tolerate. Besides, regarding the Silver Flood Dragon, with or without him, it’s the same. Actually, the simplest solution would be...” Su Changfeng stopped abruptly.

”What is it?” You Meng asked curiously.

”I’ll tell you later,” Su Changfeng suddenly teased, holding back the secret.

You Meng was extremely curious. Su Changfeng must have some plan, but stopping midway only heightened her curiosity, making it unbearable.

”Why can’t you just say it clearly? Do you enjoy keeping me in suspense?” You Meng looked at Su Changfeng with dissatisfaction.

”It seems you really have a poor memory. As a servant, is it necessary for the master to tell you everything?” Su Changfeng said indifferently.

You Meng clenched her fists in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

Just entering the courtyard, Su Changfeng saw Wang Junyi and Baili Luoyuan sitting in the pavilion, talking.

When Wang Junyi saw Su Changfeng, he seemed momentarily unaware before finally running excitedly towards Su Changfeng.

”Master, you’re finally here. I almost thought you didn’t want me anymore,” Wang Junyi was on the verge of tears.

Su Changfeng said coolly, ”Not much talent, but impressive acting skills. Why do I feel you’re quite delighted, being with such a beauty after all?”

Every day, talking with Baili Luoyuan, Wang Junyi was indeed very happy, but he still hoped to leave. After all, how could someone like Baili Luoyuan be within his reach?

”Sect Master Su, have you resolved the matter with your sister?” At this moment, Baili Luoyuan walked up to Su Changfeng, her cheeks slightly flushed, perhaps due to meeting someone she admired.

Upon hearing Baili Luoyuan’s words, Wang Junyi quickly recalled Chen Qingqing and hurriedly asked, ”Master, is Master Aunt alright? Why didn’t she come along? Could something bad have happened?”

This guy Wang Junyi always spoke so insensitively. Su Changfeng kicked him lightly before saying, ”You don’t need to worry about this. Your Master Aunt is fine.”

Wang Junyi sheepishly touched his lips and whispered, ”As long as she’s fine, as long as she’s fine. I haven’t even had a chance to express my feelings to Master Aunt yet.”

Su Changfeng shook his head in exasperation. Initially, he hoped Wang Junyi and Chen Qingqing could be together, but Wang Junyi’s behavior left much to be desired. How could Chen Qingqing ever take a liking to him?

”Do you think you’re qualified to be with my sister?” Su Changfeng asked.

Wang Junyi chuckled awkwardly. He once prided himself on being the City Lord’s son, but even that was a joke in front of Chen Qingqing. He couldn’t even match her in terms of personal strength.

Why would he ever be qualified to be with Chen Qingqing? Wang Junyi thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a reason.

”Master, do you also think I should give up?” Wang Junyi hung his head, looking utterly defeated.

Su Changfeng exhaled quietly, wishing he could just beat Wang Junyi on the spot. He had overestimated this guy; compared to the experts in wooing from their side, Wang Junyi was a complete failure.

”Sect Master Baili, I sincerely apologize. If I hadn’t brought you to Chenguang Hall earlier, you wouldn’t have had to endure such grievances,” Su Changfeng said, looking at Baili Luoyuan with a face full of regret. As for Wang Junyi, he no longer had the patience to deal with him.

Baili Luoyuan quickly waved her hand and said, ”Sect Master Su, you’re too polite. It was just that I couldn’t leave for a while, how could it be considered a grievance?”

”Alright, pack up; let’s return,” Su Changfeng said.

Upon hearing this, You Meng immediately looked at Su Changfeng and said, ”Are you joking? Are you really not planning to meet with the Emperor?”

”I’m not joking. Aren’t you curious about what I have planned?” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Baili Luoyuan’s face changed. She had initially thought that Su Changfeng had already met with the Emperor before they arrived. But she never expected that he hadn’t been to the hall, and more importantly, from his words, he didn’t intend to see the Emperor.

What does this mean? What exactly is he thinking?

The Emperor had confined her and Wang Junyi in Chenguang Hall, presumably to bring Su Changfeng back. If Su Changfeng decided not to meet the Emperor, wasn’t it clear that he didn’t regard the Emperor at all?
