The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1270 - 1269: The Number One Noble Family

Wang Junyi snorted and said directly, "I should be asking you what you mean. What, do I need to ask your permission before I place a bid?"

The other party chuckled, the smile icy: "Before you say that, you’d better find out who I am. Losing a life over a woman, isn’t that a bad deal?"

"So much nonsense, are you out of money? If you are, then get lost. I don’t have time to chat with you," Wang Junyi said without any courtesy. For so many years, he had been a genuine scion of a noble family, and he wouldn’t want to lose face in such matters.

Besides, this was something Su Changfeng had asked him to do.

The other person’s face became increasingly grim. From his tone, it was clear he had some influence in Qiyun City; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so arrogant.

At this moment, an old man walked out from within the ship, looking at ease and lazy, appearing just like an ordinary old man, but Su Changfeng could see that his strength was fifth-rank. Though he seemed harmless, there was a hidden deadly intent in his eyes.

At this point, many people recognized the man’s identity and greeted him one after another. Some even advised Wang Junyi to let it go, not to cause trouble for himself.

If it had been before, Wang Junyi might have given up and left quietly, but now with Su Changfeng around, he naturally wasn’t afraid of the other party. Besides, he was now a fourth-rank expert.

"Hmph." The old man snorted, and the previously calm water surface immediately rippled with waves. Just a small demonstration had shocked many people. Yet Wang Junyi only smiled slightly, trying to show his skills before his master was simply overreaching.

"Brother, let me give you a word of advice: leave quickly and get out of Qiyun City. I don’t want to see you again," the young man said with a cold tone, as if in his eyes, the old man’s display should have been enough for Wang Junyi to back down and leave.

"Just a fifth-rank, you should be fine, right?" Su Changfeng whispered to Wang Junyi.

If it were just about rank, Wang Junyi certainly couldn’t compare with that old man. But now, he wasn’t just a fourth-rank expert; he was also a Seven-star Beast Tamer, so he could handle it on his own without needing Su Changfeng.

"Master, it looks like we’ll be making quite a scene right after arriving," Wang Junyi said with a smile.

The young man couldn’t hear their conversation, but noticing the smile on Wang Junyi’s lips, he felt slighted and his face darkened.

"Since you’re hell-bent on seeking death, don’t blame me for being rude," the young man said, signaling the old man with a look to go ahead without holding back.

The old man’s lips curled up; to kill someone, in his view, was as simple as eating and drinking. Since he was a fifth-rank expert, even killing in broad daylight would make others help cover it up, definitely not saying anything, as no one could withstand the revenge of a fifth-rank expert.

Just as everyone felt sorry for Wang Junyi, thinking he was doomed to die today, they saw a huge shadow descend from above, startling everyone.

"What is that?"

"An exotic beast! That person is actually an exotic beast!"

"So young and already a Beast Tamer, who is he, could he be from Xingluo?"

When the Blood Lion appeared, everyone gasped in shock, then looked at Wang Junyi in disbelief.

A Beast Tamer, within Xingluo, held a very high status. At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but secretly guess Wang Junyi’s identity.

As for the old man opposite, though he still pretended to be calm, the hand behind his back was trembling uncontrollably. He saw very clearly that the Blood Lion beside Wang Junyi was a Seven-star Exotic Beast, and he was only a fifth-rank; how could he possibly be a match for a Seven-star Beast?

Seems like this time he’s met something not to be messed with.

The young man also had an ugly expression. In the Red Powder River, and even throughout Qiyun City, his name was well-known. He had already threatened to teach Wang Junyi a lesson, but with the current circumstances, it was clear he couldn’t do that. Not to mention whether he could kill Wang Junyi, even he himself might not be safe now.

But he couldn’t understand, why would a Beast Tamer come to Qiyun City? Such people usually remained within Xingluo. What was the point of coming to Qiyun City?

"Old man, you want to kill me; shouldn’t you ask my exotic beast first?" Wang Junyi looked at the old man with a mocking face.

Seeing the shock and envy in everyone’s eyes, the smile on Wang Junyi’s face became more and more triumphant. Back then, although he was the young master of the City Lord Mansion, there were hardly any who truly respected him. But now it was different; even if he wasn’t the City Lord’s son, these people wouldn’t look down on him.

It’s not that they wouldn’t, it’s that they didn’t dare.

The old man hesitated as he glanced at the young man. Though he said nothing, the meaning was clear: with his strength, there was no way he could beat a Seven-star Exotic Beast.

The young man clearly cared about face, and having already spoken harsh words, he was not willing to bow to Wang Junyi in front of everyone.

But the reality was evident; if he insisted on not backing down, then a fight between the two sides wouldn’t be solved by a simple apology.

"Kneel down and apologize properly, and I’ll let bygones be bygones," Wang Junyi suddenly said, staring at the young man intently.

The moment those words fell, everyone was astonished and looked at Wang Junyi in disbelief.

To know, the young man’s identity in Qiyun City was no ordinary matter. His family was Qiyun City’s first noble family, and Wang Junyi’s boast about making him kneel and apologize was practically slapping the face of the first noble family.

"Who do you think you are, to have the nerve to make me kneel and apologize? You must not know who I, Pei An, am!" Pei An said with a grim expression.

Pei An?

Though Wang Junyi had only been to Qiyun City a few times, he had heard of the Pei Family in Qiyun City, the first noble family in the city, and even Qiyun City’s City Lord was from the Pei Family. No wonder this guy was so arrogant; turns out he was from the Pei Family.

But even if he was from the Pei Family, Wang Junyi wasn’t afraid.

Whether it’s Qiyun City’s first noble family or the City Lord of Qiyun City, their influence was only confined to Qiyun City. But Wang Junyi was different; he had already received an invitation from Xingluo and could enter Xingluo if he wished. How could a small Pei Family compare to that?

"Pei An? I’ve heard of the Pei Family’s reputation in Qiyun City before, arrogant and tyrannical, and it truly is. Attempting to kill someone in broad daylight, truly reckless," Wang Junyi spoke coldly.
