The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”I really am a bit curious, why did your mentor choose you as his disciple back then? You really have too little courage!” You Meng said disdainfully.

Wang Junyi glared at You Meng unhappily and said, ”What do you mean by that? I’m not worthy to be my master’s disciple, and you are?”

”You’ve been with your mentor for so long, and still don’t understand his temperament? Is he the type to give up easily? I think he must be trying to deal with the Silver Flood Dragon right now. As his disciple, you’re not even thinking of solutions with him, but instead, you’re demoralizing him here. Doing this, are you worthy of your mentor?” You Meng said.

Wang Junyi froze for a moment, You Meng was right, his mentor was never one to give up so easily. As his mentor’s disciple, how could he get discouraged now? If he doesn’t believe in his mentor, then who in the Tianyuan Continent is worthy of his trust?

”You Meng, to be honest, I know you’re a Primordial Level Master, but I’ve never looked up to you. However, what you just said is indeed correct.” Wang Junyi said.

”Hmph, does a Primordial Master like me need you to look up to me?” You Meng looked at him disdainfully and said.

Wang Junyi certainly knew that experts like You Meng absolutely wouldn’t care about his opinion, but it didn’t matter. You Meng’s words indeed reminded him that he must not demoralize his mentor.

”Sect Master Baili, how are you feeling? Are you all right now?” After clearing his thoughts, Wang Junyi walked to Baili Luoyuan’s side and asked gently.

You Meng secretly gritted her teeth. Although she didn’t care much about Junyi, she and Baili Luoyuan are both women, yet treated differently, which made her feel uncomfortable.

”Wang Junyi, you should look in the mirror, some people are out of your reach,” You Meng said, making it clear that someone like Wang Junyi was absurdly hoping to win favor with Baili Luoyuan.

Wang Junyi seemed completely oblivious to You Meng’s words, still speaking softly to Baili Luoyuan, ”Sect Master Baili, why have you come out? I think you should rest more. It wouldn’t be good to leave any hazards.”

Baili Luoyuan felt a bit awkward. Wang Junyi can completely ignore You Meng, but she couldn’t do the same.

”I’m much better, don’t worry, thank you.” Baili Luoyuan said.

”Oh, no need for thanks, no need for thanks. Someone as noble as you, it’s only natural for me to care.” Wang Junyi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, You Meng grew even angrier; what is meant by Baili Luoyuan’s noble status? She was a Primordial Level Master, one of the few in Xingluo City, isn’t her status equally noble?

You Meng suppressed her anger; she naturally understood that Wang Junyi spoke deliberately to provoke her. If she lost her temper, he would only secretly revel in it.

”Your mentor hasn’t returned for several days; do you not plan to check on him?” You Meng gritted her teeth and asked Wang Junyi.

Wang Junyi shook his head and replied, ”Since my mentor hasn’t returned, he must be handling things. If I were to go over, he might get upset.”

”He’s been gone for so long, what’s he doing?” You Meng frowned and asked.

”Who knows? If you’re truly curious, why not ask him yourself? But if you interrupt my mentor and he gets angry, don’t blame me for not warning you.” Wang Junyi said.

Indeed, You Meng wanted to find Su Changfeng to see his plans. But Wang Junyi was right: having been gone for three days, he likely had important matters to deal with, and she dared not disturb Su Changfeng at such a time.

In the secret chamber, three days had passed, and Su Changfeng was still absorbing the power left by the previous emperors, during which his strength continued to grow.

Su Changfeng silently marveled, no wonder the previous emperors who stayed within Chenguang Hall were so powerful; the remnant energy left behind was truly formidable.

When Su Changfeng finally opened his eyes, a golden light seemed to flash, and simultaneously, his body’s power grew more profound and domineering.

Moreover, Su Changfeng could clearly feel that the formerly turbulent energy within his body was starting to stabilize, with a feeling akin to the formlessness of an elephant and the silence of great sound.

Su Changfeng stood up, exhaled deeply, and his entire body seemed to relax.

Just then, Su Changfeng suddenly felt pulled by some force, his limbs moving uncontrollably.

Su Changfeng’s expression changed instantly; he hurriedly left the chamber, not noticing that his previously scattered features had returned to place, and the reassembled relief sculpture looked exactly like him!

Upon emerging from the chamber, Su Changfeng noticed that outside, dark clouds were pressing on the city, giving a sense that a storm was brewing.

”Could this be... the Heavenly Punishment!” Su Changfeng’s heart sank; he could clearly feel the eerie weather was related to him, as if the thunder signified something.

Su Changfeng quickly controlled his aura; though he didn’t encounter a Heavenly Punishment when breaking through to the Holy Spirit Realm, he was somewhat puzzled, assuming it was due to the remains that it didn’t occur.

Never expected that after absorbing the energy left by the previous emperors, the Heavenly Punishment arrived.

Luckily, Su Changfeng could freely regulate his internal aura, so after suppressing his power, the gathered clouds slowly dispersed, and the sunlight once again illuminated the earth.

The city’s inhabitants were startled by this strange phenomenon; initially bright and sunny, the sky suddenly became filled with thunder, and before they could react, the clouds dispersed—such odd weather they had never experienced before.

At this moment, in You Meng’s residence.

Wang Junyi looked at the sky, frowned, and said: ”What the heck is this? One moment sunny, the next not; should this kind of thing be taken so lightly?”

Most people perceived it as just a simple weather issue, so when the sunlight appeared again, they didn’t dwell on the matter, but You Meng, possessing Primordial Essence strength, felt it very peculiar.

The recent weather anomaly left her with an oppressive feeling, so she knew the incident wasn’t so simple.

”Are you okay?” Concerned by You Meng’s grave demeanor, Wang Junyi asked with a frown.

”The recent weather change seems not simple; it might be related to your mentor,” You Meng said in a deep voice.
