The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

However, there should be no issues with Jiang City now. After all, all the powers have basically fallen under his control, so how could something happen?

Moreover, before Su Changfeng came over, he instructed Mu Tian to protect Shen Hanxue and her mother. After consuming the Fate Fruit, their strength will surely improve significantly. Even if someone in Tuo Shi wants to harm Shen Hanxue and her family, it won’t be easy.

”What exactly could happen?” Su Changfeng took several deep breaths, but he still felt uneasy.

Just then, he suddenly sensed an aura approaching directly toward him from afar.

Su Changfeng frowned, opened the door, and walked out.

As he stepped outside and saw that the visitor was an imperial confidant, Su Changfeng roughly understood the visitor’s purpose.

”Sect Master Su, my visit is presumptuous, and I hope Sect Master Su won’t blame me,” the confidant said to Su Changfeng. Although his words carried an apology, his tone and stance were entirely devoid of respect.

Being the confidant of the Emperor, he naturally wouldn’t lower himself to others.

”Has the Emperor made up his mind?” Su Changfeng asked.

”This matter needs to remain confidential, and I hope Sect Master Su understands,” the confidant replied.

Su Changfeng nodded; the secret chamber is a place that only the Emperor has the right to enter. If news of this leaks out, it will likely bring a lot of trouble.

”Don’t worry, I definitely won’t say anything,” Su Changfeng said.

Just then, a female voice suddenly sounded in his ear: ”But I already know, so what now?”

Turning around, he saw You Meng sitting on the wall, and Su Changfeng couldn’t help but find it amusing. This matter couldn’t be hidden from her; perhaps You Meng had even detected the visitor’s presence earlier than he did.

”Lord You, the Emperor has said that if Lord You is willing, you can also come along,” the confidant said to You Meng.

You Meng was satisfied with a smile, gently jumped off the wall, and came to Su Changfeng’s side: ”Looks like I really need to thank Sect Master Su; otherwise, how could I have such an opportunity?”

”You’re right. So how do you plan to thank me? After all, if it weren’t for me, you might never have witnessed this,” Su Changfeng replied with a smile.

You Meng gave Su Changfeng an annoyed glance and said, ”I’m just making small talk with you, okay? Why take it seriously?”

”Am I wrong? Lord You, you indeed should thank me,” Su Changfeng said.

When it comes to banter, You Meng naturally can’t compete with Su Changfeng. Besides, You Meng doesn’t dare to easily confront Su Changfeng head-on, so given the circumstances, she had to silently close her mouth and ignore Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng didn’t mind; You Meng had acted against her conscience, so bearing the insult was only natural. But in the eyes of the confidant, the scene before him was shocking.

One must know that You Meng is a Primordial Master; even the Emperor has to show her some respect, yet Su Changfeng remains firm in front of You Meng, pushing her to have the worst of it. This was simply astounding.

Could it be that You Meng had already clashed with Su Changfeng before, and ended up losing to him? Is that why she allowed Su Changfeng to speak so boldly?

The confidant silently noted this in his mind, preparing to report to the Emperor as soon as he returned.

Returning to the grand hall, even the Emperor was unconcerned. Upon seeing You Meng, he showed no surprise.

”This way, you two,” said the Emperor, leading them straight to the secret chamber.

In fact, the secret chamber of Chenguang Hall is quite ordinary, still very modest in appearance. Such an important place is only guarded tightly; from the outside, one cannot see any trace of the Forbidden Land.

”Lord You, have you become more knowledgeable?” Su Changfeng suddenly smiled at You Meng and said.

You Meng silently rolled her eyes and said helplessly, ”Right, if it weren’t for Sect Master Su, I might never have had the chance to come inside. Rest assured, if I get the chance in the future, I will surely repay you properly.”

”Haha,” Su Changfeng laughed and said, ”Forget about repayment. Lord You already owes me so much. How about agreeing to one thing?”

You Meng immediately looked at Su Changfeng defensively; this guy never plays by the rules, so his request mustn’t be simple, and she naturally wouldn’t agree easily.

”What is it?” You Meng asked.

”I don’t have anything in mind at the moment. I’ll let you know when I do. How about it?” Su Changfeng said.

You Meng snorted and said, ”Dream on.”

”Rest assured, I definitely won’t ask you to do anything unjust. You know me, just an ordinary citizen. How could I do such things?” Su Changfeng said.

While speaking, the group arrived at a pavilion.

The Emperor stopped and turned to them, saying, ”Here is where the ancient texts are stored. I ask that you two keep tonight’s events confidential.”

”The Emperor can rest assured; I definitely won’t mention it. If it leaks out, it definitely won’t be from my mouth,” Su Changfeng said.

Beside him, You Meng’s face suddenly turned grim; what did he mean by this? So if the matter leaks, it’s from her, then?

”Su Changfeng, what do you mean?” You Meng said with a grim expression.

”Very simple, you don’t understand?” Su Changfeng replied nonchalantly. He said it intentionally to You Meng, still holding a grudge over being deceived by her in the past.

Inside the pavilion, Su Changfeng finally understood that although it appeared as a simple small pavilion from the outside, once inside, it felt like entering a large library. But the items here were incomparable to those in ordinary libraries. Moreover, the contents could only be accessed by the Emperor, making the value of these texts incredibly high.

”Emperor, where are the texts related to the Silver Flood Dragon?” Su Changfeng asked the Emperor.

The Emperor led them directly to a bookshelf and said, ”Here are all ancient secret scriptures, including those about the Silver Flood Dragon.”

Su Changfeng nodded and wasted no time, casually picking up a book to read.

You Meng was also unwilling to fall behind. To be honest, she had long yearned for this place. Since only the Emperor could enter, how could she not be curious? But no matter how curious, she had no way to enter.

Now that she was in, she had to make the most of it, as such an opportunity might never come again.

As for the texts here, the Emperor had already perused them, so he waited aside.

While Su Changfeng was browsing through the texts, changes were quietly taking place in Wanhua Mountain.
