The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

"You value Su Changfeng too highly. With his current abilities, there’s absolutely no way he can control Shangyun Pavilion. Besides, Guan Shan definitely won’t let Su Changfeng easily sit as the Leader of Shangyun Pavilion," Yang Junming said.

Just look at how Guan Shan has repeatedly targeted Su Changfeng; it’s clear he wants to get rid of Su Changfeng. If Guan Shan finds the opportunity, he will surely stomp Su Changfeng into the ground.

Just watch the grading competition. After Su Changfeng loses, Guan Shan will definitely incite Shangyun Pavilion’s people to kick Su Changfeng while he’s down.

This way, Su Changfeng will have even less authority. In the future, who would be convinced by him?

Elder Wu curled his lips slightly and said, "I heard that recently, Guan Shan has been getting close to people from Lingxiao Pavilion. It seems he’s already preparing to betray Shangyun Pavilion."

Betray Shangyun Pavilion?

Upon hearing this, a trace of severity appeared in Yang Junming’s expression. Even though Shangyun and Lingxiao both belong to Tuo Shi, their internal conflicts have been constant over the years, never stopping, and they are distinctly divided.

Of course, they dislike each other. Sometimes, disputes escalate. If Guan Shan really betrays Shangyun Pavilion, it would undoubtedly be an insult to Shangyun Pavilion.

"This guy actually did such a thing! Where does he plan to put Shangyun Pavilion’s face?" Yang Junming fumed, speaking through gritted teeth.

"That’s why I absolutely want Su Changfeng to strike back and win this round. The people at Lingxiao Pavilion have been waiting to see my joke. I certainly can’t let them have their way," Elder Wu said.

Yang Junming took a deep breath and said, "I hope Su Changfeng doesn’t disappoint your expectations. Otherwise, Shangyun Pavilion will really lose face."

Naturally, the highly anticipated Su Changfeng was unaware of their thoughts. At present, he was still deeply affectionate with Shen Hanxue.

The couple only had one last day together. Apart from Shen Hanxue, Su Changfeng was unwilling to waste time on anyone else.

At night, the rare occasion saw the family of three sleeping together. Little Ye Nianhai snored soundly. Su Changfeng and Shen Hanxue didn’t sleep; after all, this was their last night embracing each other, and no one was willing to sleep.

As the sky brightened slightly, Shen Hanxue got up. All these years, Shen Hanxue, as his wife, had never seriously made a meal for Su Changfeng, and she felt very sad about that. Now that Su Changfeng was leaving, she didn’t know when he would return. She hoped to fulfill her duty as a wife.

Having prepared the meal, Shen Hanxue watched nervously as Su Changfeng ate. He ate happily and kept saying it tasted great. Shen Hanxue finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After breakfast, a group of people watched as Su Changfeng left the villa.

With this departure, nobody knows when they will meet again.

Returning home with tears in her eyes, Shen Hanxue tasted the food she made, and the tears she had been holding back finally flowed down.

For Shen Hanxue, who barely cooked, it was impossible to make a delicious breakfast all of a sudden. What she made that morning was not only far from tasty but could even be considered inedible. Yet Su Changfeng ate so much of it.

Thinking of this, Shen Hanxue’s heartache wouldn’t allow her tears to stop.

At the gate of Immortal Mist Mountain Villa District, Su Changfeng and Chen Qingqing got into a car that Elder Wu had prepared early.

"Since we’re going to Tuo Shi, I’ll briefly explain the situation of Tuo Shi to you," Elder Wu said to Su Changfeng after they got in the car.

Su Changfeng nodded; he was indeed curious about Tuo Shi’s situation.

"The reason why Tuo Shi exists is mainly for a mission. As for what the mission is, you’ll know when the opportunity arises. It’s not convenient to tell you now. I just hope you understand that there is a hierarchy within Tuo Shi, and the higher your level, the higher your status in Tuo Shi."

"Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang are the levels within Tuo Shi. The Heavenly Level is the highest, meaning core members of Tuo Shi. The Yellow Level, of course, deals with tasks on the outer fringes, serving as a link between Tuo Shi and the mundane world."

"Since there are levels, there has to be advancement," Su Changfeng said.

"That’s right. There’s a grading competition every year. By participating in the competition, you can raise your level. By the way, this year’s grading competition is next month, and I’ve already signed you up. Everyone envies you," Elder Wu said.

Elder Wu had arranged this matter for Su Changfeng long ago. Needless to say, you know how Tuo Shi views this matter now; it will definitely stir things up.

Bear in mind, since Tuo Shi’s establishment until now, no one has ever participated in all grading competitions at once.

"To Tuo Shi, I guess I’m Tuo Shi. Are you planning to have me advance to the Heavenly Level?" Su Changfeng said.

"It’s not planning; you have to do it," Elder Wu said sternly.

"You don’t think this demand is too high? Has anyone succeeded before?" Su Changfeng asked, curious.

"No, precisely because no one has, you can seize this opportunity to stand out!" Elder Wu said.

With a sharp gaze, Su Changfeng looked at Elder Wu and said, "You old fellow, are you trying to get me killed? Since no one has succeeded before, why do you think I can do it?"

"Are you afraid?" Elder Wu deliberately provoked Su Changfeng. With Su Changfeng’s mindset, he should be unwilling to accept this.

"Afraid, I’m definitely afraid, I don’t want to die!" Su Changfeng’s answer was completely different from Elder Wu’s expectations. Not only did Elder Wu find himself at a loss, but even Yang Junming, who was driving, was a bit stunned.

Su Changfeng continued, with a hint of laughter and casualness in his voice, saying, "You know, I have a wife and children. How could I easily go die? You should help me cancel it. You know fists and feet are blind; it’s really too dangerous."

Elder Wu was a bit embarrassed; he awkwardly touched his nose. This guy was not playing along! It was completely different from what he imagined, and contrary to his plan.

"You’re just giving up like that? You don’t feel unsatisfied in your heart?" Elder Wu still felt unwilling.

But he clearly underestimated the current Su Changfeng. As he is now, he’s resolute. In his eyes, nothing is more important than life. Shen Hanxue and Ye Nianhai are waiting for him at home, and he absolutely must return safely.

"What’s so good about standing out? Once dead, there’s nothing left. I’m not stupid," Su Changfeng said.

Hearing Su Changfeng’s words left Elder Wu tongue-tied. He couldn’t find the right words to counter, racking his brains trying to figure out how to persuade Su Changfeng to participate, when he heard Yang Junming’s voice come through.

"Everyone in Tuo Shi has already heard about you participating in the grading competition. If you withdraw now, you’ll definitely become the laughingstock of everyone."

Upon hearing this, Elder Wu’s eyes flashed a hint of light. He didn’t believe Su Changfeng wouldn’t refuse after hearing such words.
