The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1171: A Heavy Blow

The fruit resembled cherry tomatoes, and Su Changfeng walked over, parted the vines, noticing many of these fruits inside, their colors very appealing.

Even though Su Changfeng was very hungry, he still felt some suspicion in his heart, so he asked the little snake, ”Is it poisonous?”

The little snake shook its head, and Su Changfeng tentatively ate one. A faint, sweet flavor immediately filled his entire mouth, it was indeed a delicious little fruit.

”It’s quite tasty, you should try it.” Su Changfeng said to Chen Qingqing.

After both of them ate one fruit, they couldn’t stop, continuously stuffing them into their mouths, completely unaware of the little snake’s vaguely heartbroken expression on the side.

In the Shangyun Pavilion.

Ever since the big commotion in the Infinite Cave, almost everyone thought Su Changfeng was already dead.

Elder Wu’s mood was not good, he had not left the Shangyun Pavilion for a while.

Su Changfeng’s affairs evidently struck Elder Wu hard, knowing he already placed all his bets on Su Changfeng, even entrusting Tuo Shi’s future to Su Changfeng, fervently hoping that after Su Changfeng passed the Infinite Cave challenge, he could boost the confidence of other Tuo Shi members.

He hoped that after Su Changfeng acquired a Heavenly Level status, he could take over the Shangyun Pavilion, so he could personally see what the Outer Domain was all about.

But with Su Changfeng’s death, this series of plans were entirely shattered, not only making Earth Level members increasingly fear the Infinite Cave, but also leaving no one to entrust Shangyun Pavilion to.

”Elder Wu, you needn’t worry so much, everything has its own destiny, maybe it’s simply that Su Changfeng couldn’t bear this responsibility!” the assistant couldn’t help but console.

Elder Wu’s mood was persistently low, after all, Su Changfeng’s death meant almost no hope for Tuo Shi’s future, if even he couldn’t come out safely from the Infinite Cave, how could anyone else muster the courage to try again?

”Do you understand what Su Changfeng’s death signifies for Tuo Shi?” Elder Wu couldn’t help but sigh, his face full of helplessness.

The assistant naturally understood the crux of it, yet things had reached this stage, no one could change it, continuously wallowing in the shadow of failure would only lead to worse results.

”Should we try putting our hopes on Guan Shan? His abilities are not inferior, if he can pass the Infinite Cave challenge, it could also change others’ fear of the Infinite Cave.” the assistant asked cautiously.

Try letting Guan Shan?

Elder Wu’s eyes showed a hint of disdain, given Guan Shan’s abilities, he could have attempted to challenge the Infinite Cave long ago, but he had never taken this step, enough to prove he is a coward, lacking courage, putting hope on him is simply laughable.

”Do you think Guan Shan has the guts? Even if he has the guts, going into the Infinite Cave is a dead end, if he dies, what would happen to Tuo Shi, I can’t even imagine.” Elder Wu sighed and said.

The assistant couldn’t help but sigh too, even not considering whether Guan Shan has the courage, if he really dies, Tuo Shi is indeed finished, losing two masters in a row would certainly have a bigger impact on others.

”Elder Wu, since things are like this, just stop worrying, there will always be a way.” the assistant said.

”The Outer Domain is eyeing us covetously, we don’t know when they will come back, our time is running out, as the squad leader of Shangyun Pavilion, if I have no solution, am I a waste?” Elder Wu’s face was full of self-mockery.

The assistant’s expression slightly changed, seeing Elder Wu’s face full of despondency, knowing in his heart that Su Changfeng’s affair does indeed hit Elder Wu hard.

”Elder Wu, don’t think like that, if Shangyun Pavilion didn’t have you, who knows what it would become?” the assistant said quickly.

At this time, Yang Junming came over, his expression somewhat unpleasant, and said to Elder Wu: ”Elder Wu, I heard Jiang City is looking for Su Changfeng, it seems something has happened.”

”You go to Jiang City and bring them the news of Su Changfeng’s death.” Elder Wu said, this matter couldn’t be concealed forever, nor was there any need to hide it.

Yang Junming’s expression slightly changed hearing this, if he told them, who knows how those people would react?

Moreover, he was still relying on the Shangguan Family to find news about his daughter, if Shangguan Sichen knew Su Changfeng was already dead, he definitely wouldn’t help him investigate this matter anymore.

”Elder Wu, can’t we wait a bit longer?” Yang Junming asked.

”Are you planning to find Su Changfeng’s corpse? Dying in the Infinite Cave, how can a corpse be found?” Elder Wu said.

Having personally experienced the Infinite Cave challenge, Yang Junming naturally knew the cave was littered with bones, the key was the creatures inside all fed on human flesh.

If Su Changfeng died inside, he would definitely become food for those creatures, how could his corpse be found?

”Go, it’s better to tell them this matter sooner rather than later.” Elder Wu paused here then continued: ”If they need help, give them a hand.”

”Yes!” With Elder Wu saying that, Yang Junming had no choice but to comply.

In Jiang City.

International renowned doctors all arrived consecutively, each waiting outside the villa.

Inside the villa, Ji Hong looked at Shen Hanxue, with her gray hair and aging face, feeling very distressed.

Initially, Shen Hanxue just had gray hair, but as days passed, she seemed to accelerate in aging, day by day.

Clearly, at only over twenty, Shen Hanxue now looked like a middle-aged woman, and the situation continued deteriorating.

”Han Xue, the doctors have arrived, let them check you.” Ji Hong said to Shen Hanxue, with a hint of unwillingness.

Shen Hanxue no longer had courage to face herself as she was now, initially she could still deceive herself, but now she didn’t even have the courage to look in the mirror.

She even started to refuse medical treatment, afraid to hear from those doctors that her condition was incurable.

”Mom, it’s okay, I’m fine, truly fine.” Shen Hanxue bowed her head, looking lovingly at her daughter in her arms, feeling terrified inside, fearful she wouldn’t live to see Su Changfeng return, nor be able to watch her daughter grow up.

She didn’t fear death, she just worried she wouldn’t be there to care for Ye Nianhai like she did.

”Mom knows, mom knows you won’t have any issues, but the doctors outside have already come, let them take a look, they’re all invited by Shangguan Sichen, they should have no problem.” Ji Hong looked at the haggard Shen Hanxue, eyes filled with undeniable heartache.

Shen Hanxue shook her head, she had already researched online, her current symptoms were obviously symptoms of premature aging, which so far have no effective treatment.

As her body’s functions declined, she would gradually inch towards death, a fact that no one could change.
