The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1287 - 1286: An Unreasonable Request
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
Shen Yunlong quickly nodded and led his people away. Although he really wanted to kill Su Changfeng, he didn’t have the courage to act in front of Wang Junyi. After all, the City Lord Mansion is the real authority in Tianshui City now, and Shen Yunlong naturally didn’t want to provoke it.
After Shen Yunlong left, Wang Junyi walked over to Su Changfeng.
"Master, this guy must be crazy, he even found his way here. If I hadn’t arrived in time, he would probably be a corpse now." Wang Junyi said through gritted teeth.
Su Changfeng chuckled and said, "Wang Junyi, you’ve grown more capable now, haven’t you? You’re even trying to test me?"
Wang Junyi quickly shook his head and explained, "Master, I don’t have the guts for that, please don’t misunderstand, don’t misunderstand."
Su Changfeng sighed and shook his head, saying, "You’re absolutely right, if it weren’t for you, he really wouldn’t have made it out this time. No one was going to let him off."
Wang Junyi’s heart skipped a beat, so it seemed Shen Yunlong was indeed lucky, he almost ended up as fertilizer for the garden.
"By the way, how come you’re here?" Su Changfeng asked Wang Junyi.
"Master, didn’t you ask me to find your sister before? Now all the people sent out have reported back saying there’s not a single clue." Wang Junyi said, he had flipped all of Tianshui City upside down but still hadn’t found her, so he thought it’s very possible Su Changfeng’s sister isn’t in Tianshui City.
Su Changfeng was also a bit disappointed. Initially, he came here together with Chen Qingqing, logically they should be in the same place, right? Tianyuan Continent is so vast, where would Chen Qingqing be if not in Tianshui City?
Thinking of this, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but frown. If Chen Qingqing was not within Xingluo, things would become increasingly troublesome.
"Keep sending people to search, check other cities, you shouldn’t be lacking money now, right?" Su Changfeng said.
Wang Junyi had previously gotten a lot of money from the Pei Family in Qiyun City, he definitely wasn’t short on money. Now that Su Changfeng had spoken, Wang Junyi nodded quickly and agreed.
"Alright, Master, I’ll arrange it right away," Wang Junyi said.
After leaving Su Changfeng, Wang Junyi went straight home, but he kept feeling like someone was following him, sparking some suspicion in his heart.
He’s already fifth-rank in strength now, who would bother to track him?
Casually entering an alley, Wang Junyi stopped, the person behind seemed not to intentionally hide and walked straight out of the shadows.
"Shen Yunlong!" Wang Junyi was slightly shocked to see it was Shen Yunlong.
This guy was lucky not to be killed by the master and now secretly followed him, what was the meaning of this? Was he hit so hard that he simply wanted to die?
"Shen Yunlong, why are you following me? You can’t be thinking of revenge, can you?" Wang Junyi frowned, regardless of Shen Yunlong’s motives, he wasn’t afraid. After all, with his strength, he could easily crush everyone in Tianshui City, a small fry like Shen Yunlong didn’t matter to him.
"Your power far exceeds mine now, how could I possibly seek revenge? I just want to ask you for a favor," Shen Yunlong said.
"A favor?" Wang Junyi smirked and said, "You can’t be asking me to introduce you to my master, right?"
Previously in Qiyun City, Su Changfeng appeared personally to help Wang Junyi out of trouble, so news of Wang Junyi having a master spread widely, it’s natural that Shen Yunlong would know.
"That’s right, you know I’ve always sought a renowned teacher, and now that I’ve encountered one, I hope you can introduce me," Shen Yunlong said.
Wang Junyi snorted. To think it was Shen Yunlong who personally chased Su Changfeng out, and now he eagerly wants to become a disciple, as if it could be that easy?
"Shen Yunlong, stop dreaming, you want to be my junior brother, absolutely impossible," Wang Junyi said.
Shen Yunlong was prepared for this, he knew Wang Junyi wouldn’t agree so easily, but he wouldn’t give up.
"Why?" Shen Yunlong asked.
"There are some things I can’t tell you now, but you’ll know one day." Wang Junyi said, he knew well that Su Changfeng’s identity in Tianshui City wouldn’t remain hidden, whether it was Shen Yunlong or Shen Rushuang, they’d ultimately realize what they personally missed out on.
Actually, Wang Junyi was very curious about how the Shen Family would react upon learning the truth, but he didn’t have the right to reveal it, even though he was curious, he had to endure.
"Are you worried that if the master accepts me, I’ll surpass you in growth because my talent is higher than yours?" Shen Yunlong said.
This line was uttered with gritted teeth, if he offended Wang Junyi, the outcome wouldn’t be good. But Shen Yunlong really had no better methods, he had to use this provocation tactic.
However, Wang Junyi didn’t get angry, he even laughed out loud, knowing well that his rapid improvement was mainly due to eating the fruit Su Changfeng gave him, but Shen Yunlong naively thought he’d advance faster due to talent, which was utterly ridiculous.
"Shen Yunlong, after all these years, you’re still so self-absorbed. By now, have you not realized? They refuse to take you as a disciple not because your talent is too high that the student surpasses the master." Wang Junyi sneered.
It’s unclear where Shen Yunlong got his confidence, but he always believed in his high talent. And even after years of fruitless searching, he thought the refusals were merely due to those people’s short-sightedness or their fear of being surpassed if he learned well.
"What do you mean, isn’t that so?" Shen Yunlong retorted.
Wang Junyi felt laughter ache his stomach, now Shen Yunlong seemed like a delusional man to him, such an astonishing belief had been held by him for so many years.
Standing in front of Shen Yunlong, he lightly patted his shoulder, seriously saying: "Shen Yunlong, is it really that hard to admit you’re useless, admit you’re a waste?"
Shen Yunlong’s expression slightly changed, for years, the Shen Family’s hopes rested on him, no one dared to label him a waste.
Although he was mentally prepared for humiliation from Wang Junyi, he still couldn’t accept being called a waste.
"You might be angry, but what does it matter? In terms of strength, you’re far below me, as for your idea of becoming a disciple, best to give it up, you won’t have that opportunity." Wang Junyi continued.
Shen Yunlong’s fists clenched tightly, forcibly suppressing the fury that threatened to burst forth, Wang Junyi was right, he couldn’t match him now, impulsive actions would have grave consequences beyond his bearing.
