The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”I’ve never cared about those things, I just want a peaceful and comfortable life.”

Almost as soon as Su Changfeng finished speaking, the door outside was pushed open, and Shen Yunlong walked in with a twisted expression.

After Shen Yunlong appeared, the atmosphere in the courtyard changed instantly.

Whether it was Su Changfeng or Wang Junyi, they naturally understood that he didn’t come with good intentions. As for why he came, Su Changfeng and the others couldn’t figure it out.

Shen Rushuang quickly greeted him and asked, ”Brother? Why are you here?”

Shen Yunlong sneered and looked directly at Su Changfeng, saying, ”I’ve come to expose this guy.”

Su Changfeng remained calm. Although he didn’t know what Shen Yunlong was referring to, even if Shen Yunlong had found out about the deaths of Xingluo’s three men and his involvement, Su Changfeng had nothing to fear.

The worst outcome would be opposing Xingluo, which wasn’t something Su Changfeng and his people couldn’t handle.

However, Wang Junyi felt a sudden shock in his heart when he heard this, and his face turned pale.

Born in Xingluo, he naturally knew how powerful Xingluo’s rule was. If the news that Su Changfeng murdered Xingluo’s envoys got out, Xingluo surely wouldn’t let Su Changfeng off.

Besides, even the few Xingluo experts here could completely overwhelm Su Changfeng.

”Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Don’t act rashly.” Shen Rushuang said anxiously. She had worked hard to find a chance that might change Su Changfeng’s mind. Although there wasn’t much progress yet, she believed that slow and steady would eventually work. But if Shen Yunlong acted rashly, it might ruin her opportunity.

”This matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to watch the show, just stay quiet and watch. If you don’t want to watch, then go home.” Shen Yunlong said coldly.

Shen Rushuang suddenly felt a coldness she had never experienced around Shen Yunlong, which left her bewildered. Her brother would never treat her this way. What was going on?

Shen Yunlong walked up to Qingmu, bowed respectfully, and then said, ”Sirs, I know you’ve been investigating the whereabouts of the previous visitors to Tianshui City. I know where they are.”

”Oh?” Qingmu raised his eyes to look at Shen Yunlong. Although he wasn’t sure of Shen Yunlong’s identity, Shen Yunlong was certainly aware of his own identity. If Shen Yunlong dared to lie, he must know the consequences. So since he dared to say this, he likely had clues.

Wang Junyi already had cold sweat running down his forehead. How could Shen Yunlong know? Back then, only he and Su Changfeng knew of the matter.

”Master, what on earth is going on? How did Shen Yunlong know?” Wang Junyi asked Su Changfeng quietly.

Su Changfeng glanced at Shen Rushuang. Could this be her intention? However, in recent days Shen Rushuang hadn’t behaved unusually, and Su Changfeng had observed her. She probably hadn’t lied.

If that’s the case, could it be that Shen Yunlong manipulated Shen Rushuang?

”I don’t know either,” Su Changfeng replied.

Wang Junyi’s heart was racing. He cautiously said, ”Master, what should we do now? If they find out, we’re doomed.”

Su Changfeng smiled and said, ”It’s not that serious. Don’t worry. Even if something happens, I’ll bear it, so you won’t be implicated.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Junyi’s tension didn’t ease one bit. Even though he wouldn’t be implicated, he was still very scared. He didn’t want to be involved, nor did he want Su Changfeng to get into trouble. After all, Su Changfeng was his master, and if he wanted to improve his skills, he could only rely on Su Changfeng.

”Where is it?” At this moment, Qingmu suddenly looked at Shen Yunlong and asked.

Shen Yunlong’s eyes showed a gleeful smile as if a deep hatred had been avenged. He never expected things to go so smoothly. Finally, he found the opportunity to ruin Su Changfeng. Once Su Changfeng died, the City Lord Mansion would surely be implicated, and the structure of Tianshui City would undergo tremendous change.

Moreover, if Shen Yunlong contributed to this matter, as long as Xingluo gave a word, no one would be able to shake the Shen Family’s status in Tianshui City.

”Su Changfeng, you know full well what you’ve done. Do you think the secrets hidden in your garden can remain undiscovered?” Shen Yunlong said to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng didn’t expect Shen Yunlong to really uncover the matter. Upon serious reflection, it seemed that when Shen Rushuang was digging in the garden, his reaction was too severe, which aroused Shen Yunlong’s suspicion. This was indeed his oversight.

It was unexpected that Shen Yunlong could guess the entire process based on such a small incident.

”What secret? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Su Changfeng replied.

Shen Yunlong’s face was filled with mockery. To him, the fact that Su Changfeng didn’t dare to admit it clearly showed he was scared.

”So you are afraid after all. Are you afraid of death, or Xingluo’s punishment? I’ve heard there is a pain in Xingluo that’s worse than death; maybe you’ll experience it soon.” Shen Yunlong gritted his teeth and said.

Su Changfeng spoke calmly, ”If I want to leave here, no one can stop me. I could even take your life before leaving. Do you believe that?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunlong’s expression froze. He naturally didn’t dare to test Su Changfeng’s words with his own life.

In fact, Shen Yunlong was the one most afraid of death. If he wasn’t unwilling to take risks, how could he remain at the Second Rank for so long?

Shen Yunlong instinctively took a step back, seemingly seeking help from the Xingluo people.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the three Xingluo envoys, Shen Yunlong’s life or death had nothing to do with them at all. Moreover, Su Changfeng’s previous words were already clear enough; how could they not take it seriously?

No one can stop him, meaning with their strength, they couldn’t contend with Su Changfeng.

”Sirs, I’m going to reveal the truth to you, but someone is threatening me. You have to protect me!” Shen Yunlong said, looking towards Qingmu and the others.

Qingmu’s brow furrowed slightly; he was showing signs of impatience. Although he wanted to uncover the truth, he certainly wouldn’t provoke Su Changfeng over this so-called truth.

They could distinguish between weighty matters.

The Emperor had already said that even if it was true that the three back then died by Su Changfeng’s hands, Xingluo wouldn’t hold him accountable. So Qingmu merely wanted to find out what happened, with no intention of doing anything against Su Changfeng.
