The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1275 - 1274: Troublesome Young Lady
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
This time meeting the Qiutang Clan, although he was a bit surprised, upon reflection, he felt relieved. After all, the Qiutang Clan is so large that even if Xingluo sought total annihilation, it’s inevitable that some might slip through the net. If someone did escape and lived under a different identity, even Xingluo might not notice.
"If she was born into the Qiutang Clan and yet so openly revealed her true identity to me, is she being too naive or does she have another purpose?" said Su Changfeng.
After experiencing the calamity of extermination, probably the surname Qiutang had already become a taboo for Xingluo. If she so casually reveals her identity, she must be taking a great risk. If Su Changfeng reports her to Xingluo, she would certainly meet a dire fate.
"Master, I can’t figure out what she means either. Could it be that she thinks you’re trustworthy and thus revealed such a big thing to you? That seems far-fetched, doesn’t it?" said Wang Junyi.
"Indeed. It looks like I need to ask her directly." Su Changfeng stood up immediately and left Wang Junyi’s room.
Qiutang Yu’er was placed next door. After knocking on the door, Qiutang Yu’er came to open it.
Su Changfeng glanced at Qiutang Yu’er. After learning about her true identity, he naturally did not see this seemingly delicate girl as an ordinary person. He had a vague feeling that there must be some ulterior motive in her revealing her true identity to him.
"Do you know what the name Qiutang represents?" Su Changfeng asked, his gaze piercing as he looked at Qiutang Yu’er after closing the door.
Qiutang Yu’er smiled and said, "I suppose you already know who I am. That’s right, I am indeed from the Qiutang Clan."
"Since that’s the case, you must be more aware than I am of the consequences of revealing your identity, right? Simply calling me a good man is enough for you to entrust me with your life? I am not that naive," Su Changfeng said.
"I do have my own purpose. I hope to become your disciple," Qiutang Yu’er said.
"Becoming my disciple?" Su Changfeng looked at Qiutang Yu’er in surprise. Although he hadn’t thoroughly pondered Qiutang Yu’er’s intentions, he indeed didn’t expect her to say such a thing.
"He is Wang Junyi. I’ve heard of his matters: first, he rose two ranks consecutively, then he tamed the Seven-star Blood Lion at the Hunting Assembly. Importantly, with his strength, taming a Seven-star Blood Lion is no less than a fool’s dream. He calls you Master, so this matter must be related to you from beginning to end," Qiutang Yu’er said.
Su Changfeng chuckled. This girl indeed isn’t simple. By the Red Powder River, she appeared to be a delicate girl, harmless, which is why Su Changfeng couldn’t help but buy her.
But now, looking at it, all of this was planned, and Qiutang Yu’er was not as fragile as Su Changfeng initially thought.
"You tell me the truth just to be my disciple? What happens if you become my disciple? Do you think you can avenge the Qiutang Clan after becoming strong? The Qiutang Clan was once so glorious and powerful, yet it couldn’t contend with Xingluo. Now, here you are alone, what can you accomplish?" Su Changfeng asked.
"With my own strength, I naturally can’t exact revenge. I want to become stronger just to join Xingluo. If I can infiltrate Xingluo, then I can plan and act later," Qiutang Yu’er said.
With just a few simple words, Su Changfeng knew this girl was not simple. She was scheming and resourceful, and it was evident in her eyes that there was determination. Su Changfeng did not doubt that if one day she held power in her hands, she would become a formidable existence.
"What if today you didn’t meet me, and if tonight you were bought by Pei An, what would you do?" Su Changfeng asked.
"Wait. I only want revenge. As for other things, whether it’s mental torment or physical humiliation, I don’t care," Qiutang Yu’er said.
Su Changfeng was a bit surprised. He didn’t expect a teenage girl to say such words. In his world, a girl this age would probably be a naive, innocent child cherished by her parents. How could she have such thoughts?
But he forgot that, in fact, he himself back then, the young boy still trapped in the Ye Family Mansion, also bore the burden of undue torment at a young age. At that time, he wasn’t as old as Qiutang Yu’er.
In a certain sense, their fates were very similar. Bearing shackles at a young age, forced to continually endure and grow stronger, scheming without concern for the consequences.
"What if I’m unwilling? What do you plan to do?" Su Changfeng asked again.
"I’m willing to become your woman. Many men in this world are afraid of their wives. I just need to wait until the day you fear me, and you’ll definitely teach me your skills," Qiutang Yu’er said.
Su Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh. He had always thought Qiutang Yu’er was deeply scheming, lacking the innocent ignorance that a child her age should have. But hearing this, he finally saw a bit of naivety in her.
"Why are you laughing?" Qiutang Yu’er looked at Su Changfeng, puzzled. She believed she hadn’t misspoken. Why was he laughing?
Su Changfeng looked at her helplessly and said, "Well, quite interesting. But unfortunately, I already have a wife."
"So what?" Qiutang Yu’er looked at him, bewildered.
"I have a wife," Su Changfeng repeated.
"What do you mean?" Qiutang Yu’er looked at Su Changfeng, bewildered, appearing somewhat dumbfounded. Given her already outstanding appearance, this made her all the more attractive.
Su Changfeng then realized this wasn’t his world. In Tianyuan Continent, it’s normal for a man to have several women. He couldn’t possibly say he’s not from this world and will only have one wife for life, right?
"I mean, I definitely won’t marry you, so I’m very sorry," Su Changfeng said.
"Why not? Am I ugly?" Qiutang Yu’er said, looking hurt.
"No, I only love my wife. As for other women, I have no interest," Su Changfeng said.
"You’re afraid of your wife? As expected," Qiutang Yu’er suddenly laughed, her face showing a hint of pride.
Su Changfeng: "..."
Looking at Qiutang Yu’er’s proud expression, Su Changfeng didn’t know how to explain. This was still a little girl; naturally, she couldn’t understand Su Changfeng’s feelings.
Up to this point, Su Changfeng could clearly see that only matters concerning revenge would have Qiutang Yu’er exhibiting an extreme maturity. As for other things, she was still quite naive. After all, she was just a young girl who didn’t understand much about many things.
"Go take some rest. I’m leaving," Su Changfeng had no intention of saying more and immediately stood up.
But Qiutang Yu’er hurriedly rushed forward, stopping Su Changfeng.
