The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 885: Chapter 884: The Choice Between Loyalty and Power

Although Yue Qingshan does not know who the mysterious Mr. Wu mentioned by An Yufei is, since even An Yufei admires him so much, he is certainly no ordinary person. Such a mysterious figure now wants to take Ye Changfeng as a Direct Disciple; he ought to be happy, but why does he seem unwilling?

“I have already pledged myself to a master before, and that master is Huo Tian.” Su Changfeng said, seeing the shocked expressions of the people around him.

An Yufei shook his head when he heard Su Changfeng say this, and said helplessly, “Who says a person can’t have two masters? Besides, how can your previous master compare with Mr. Wu?”

“In my heart, I have recognized Huo Tian as my master, and I will not switch to another.” Su Changfeng said with a serious expression. This is a matter of principle, and he will not back down.

Hearing this, An Yufei was furious.

Does this kid Su Changfeng have a problem with his head? Even if he doesn’t know who Mr. Wu truly is now, he should understand that he’s inaccessible to the common people.

No matter how powerful his previous master was, he was ultimately a worldly person. How could he compare to a master like Mr. Wu, who transcends this world?

“Su Changfeng, you should think twice before acting. Are you aware that countless people envy you right now? Just know that many are in line in the expansive realm, eager to become Mr. Wu’s disciple?” An Yufei said.

Transcend the world?

What kind of existence is this? My master never mentioned it before, but it sounds somewhat familiar. Could it be some mysterious organization?

Seeing Su Changfeng pondering, An Yufei whispered, “Mr. Wu is willing to take you as a Direct Disciple. You should feel very fortunate—this is a colossal opportunity gifted by the heavens. If you want a future of prominence, you must seize this chance; otherwise, you’ll have nothing but regret later.”

An Yufei was emotionally on edge upon hearing Su Changfeng reluctantly refuse Mr. Wu’s offer. After all these years, he finally sees a sliver of hope to transcend the world. He doesn’t want Su Changfeng’s foolish decision to squander all past efforts.

“As I just mentioned, I already have a master, Huo Tian, so I will not switch to another.” Su Changfeng said calmly, with a firm voice.

Upon hearing this, An Yufei was still impatient, thinking that Su Changfeng’s brain must be having issues. Mr. Wu’s willingness to accept him as a Direct Disciple is something everyone envies and he dares to refuse—anyone who hears this would definitely think Su Changfeng is out of his mind.

“Su Changfeng, Su Changfeng, have you suffered a head injury causing your nonsense now?” An Yufei said in exasperation, pointing at Su Changfeng.

On the side, Yue Qingshan, not wanting Su Changfeng to miss such a golden opportunity, reminded, “Su Changfeng, there’s still time to reconsider; you don’t have to reject so quickly.”

However, Su Changfeng waved his hand and said, “I’ve already thought it through clearly, and I refuse.”

Yes, that’s truly Su Changfeng’s nature; once he decides on something, it’s irreversible.

Hearing these words, even Yue Qingshan felt helpless; Su Changfeng doesn’t consider the consequences. Did he not think that if it weren’t for An Yufei’s unexpected arrival and Mr. Wu’s instruction, he might already be dead, and not have anyone willing to take him as a Direct Disciple?

Without Mr. Wu as a protective pillar, how could Ye Litian fear him? How could he fight against Ye Litian?

An Yufei, dismayed at Su Changfeng’s foolishness, glanced at him contemptuously. If it were an An Family member, he’d have swiftly dealt with him instead of letting him speak casually.

“This matter is beyond our decision. Soon, Mr. Wu will personally visit; you must tell him your reasoning then. Let’s see what fate awaits. But I advise you, during this time, think carefully—do you want to refuse such a master?” An Yufei said helplessly, “A kind reminder: it’s not wise to offend Mr. Wu. He has expressed a desire to accept you as a Direct Disciple, and refusing him might be life-threatening.”

“If the Mr. Wu you mentioned comes, I won’t forget to express my gratitude.” Su Changfeng said indifferently.

An Yufei sees Su Changfeng’s obstinate posture, feeling mixed emotions, both hate and helplessness. Yet, it’s tinged with curiosity. So he asked curiously, “Who was your previous master? What made you follow him so devotedly?”

“My master may not be as formidable as your referenced Mr. Wu.” Su Changfeng said calmly.

Because Su Changfeng believes his master Huo Tian didn’t mention transcending the world, he might not know about it, making him less capable than Mr. Wu. However, Su Changfeng doesn’t value these matters much; he values Huo Tian’s loyalty over the years.

Back when Su Changfeng left the Ye Family, only his master Huo Tian took care of him. Therefore, even if a better choice arises, he won’t switch allegiance; it’s not his nature to act ungratefully or unkindly.

“Knowing your previous master’s power is less than Mr. Wu, why are you so adamantly holding onto it?” An Yufei asked, puzzled.

“In my heart, a master’s day as a father is lifelong, not about who is stronger. I will not switch masters for temporary gain.” Su Changfeng explained.

Upon hearing this, An Yufei couldn’t add more, but he pointed to the other side and said, “Su Changfeng, do you realize why they guard the Ye Family’s entrance?”

Su Changfeng, puzzled, glanced at An Yufei, unclear about his intention.

Seeing Su Changfeng’s confusion, An Yufei directly said, “They’re spies sent by major families. They want to know why Ye Litian fears you and that your survival in dialogue isn’t due to your master but Mr. Wu’s words—due to his power.”

Su Changfeng contemplated; indeed, An Yufei’s words reflect reality today, where friendship is often insignificant. Yet, Su Changfeng greatly cherishes this friendship.
