The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1302 - 1301: The Most Regrettable Thing
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
"Shen Yaowen, why is it that in your eyes your son is so outstanding, and I’m so inferior? Have you forgotten that I’m now a fifth-rank expert? If you’re not convinced, I don’t mind having a good match with him." At this moment, Wang Junyi suddenly came over, looking disdainfully at the father and son of the Shen Family.
Shen Yaowen didn’t expect Wang Junyi to come over and happen to hear these words. Now is not the time to offend Wang Junyi, especially since the City Lord Mansion is not what it used to be. If the City Lord Mansion were to act against them, the Shen Family’s fate would be even worse.
"Wang Junyi, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t mean that." Shen Yaowen said.
Wang Junyi snorted and said, "Really? Then why do I hear it exactly that way."
Shen Yaowen found it hard to argue, feeling regretful in his heart. How was he to know that Wang Junyi would suddenly appear and unfortunately hear his words.
"Wang Junyi, you’re only lucky to have found a master as your mentor. If I had such a mentor, you certainly wouldn’t be able to beat me." Shen Yunlong said.
Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but chuckle. I didn’t expect this guy would also know how to flatter me, but for Su Changfeng, that’s obviously useless. Honestly speaking, after being praised by Wang Junyi every day, he no longer feels anything.
"Shen Yunlong, what’s this, the well-known eldest son of the Shen Family, actually knows how to flatter others?" Wang Junyi looked at him teasingly and said.
In the past, Shen Yunlong naturally wouldn’t put anyone in his eyes, let alone flatter. Born into the Shen Family, one of the three great families of Tianshui City, he always considered himself extraordinary, believing he would surely be able to join Xingluo in the future.
So no one dared to offend him actively. After all, who can predict the future? What if he really joined Xingluo, wouldn’t that bring trouble for oneself? So gradually, Shen Yunlong’s attitude had always been one of arrogance.
But now, Shen Yunlong has seen the situation clearly. He understands that this is his last chance, so just to flatter a little, he doesn’t mind.
"Why? You can do it, but I can’t?" Shen Yunlong said with a composed look.
Wang Junyi was very clear about what Shen Yunlong used to be like, regardless of their relationship, they’ve grown up together in Tianshui City. In Wang Junyi’s impression, Shen Yunlong always had an air of superiority, relying on the power of the Shen Family to be arrogant in Tianshui City, never having flattered anyone.
But now, Shen Yunlong is unabashedly and openly admitting that he is flattering, such Shen Yunlong, Wang Junyi almost doesn’t recognize him.
Wang Junyi couldn’t help but laugh. He had no problem with flattery, as he had been doing it all these years, so it doesn’t make him feel embarrassed. After all, he had been suppressed by the three great families for so many years. To survive, he had to behave cautiously.
"Young Master of the Shen Family, I’ve done this kind of thing often, so naturally it’s not fresh. You’re not the same as me, after all, the former Young Master of the Shen Family never did this kind of thing." Wang Junyi said with a smile.
Shen Yunlong naturally understood that Wang Junyi was deliberately saying this, and indeed he had never done this kind of thing before. But now the situation is different, this is his last chance, so paying something for becoming a disciple is understandable.
"I am human too, what you can do, I can naturally do as well." Shen Yunlong said.
Wang Junyi nodded, "That’s true, the situation is different now, when it’s time to bow down, you should bow down. You’re doing right, but I’d like to ask you, when you personally drove my teacher out, what were you thinking? Did you ever think you’d be doing this one day?"
Driving Su Changfeng out of the Shen Family has been the most regrettable thing for Shen Yunlong. He has thought countless times, if he hadn’t acted so decisively, maybe they wouldn’t have ended up where they are today.
If he could go back in time, Shen Yunlong would certainly not treat Su Changfeng that way or drive him out.
"I know, everything that happened back then was my fault, so I hope you can give me a chance, I will do my best to make amends." Shen Yunlong said.
Wang Junyi glanced at Su Changfeng, noticing that Su Changfeng’s expression was unperturbed. He knew the mentor was not taking Shen Yunlong’s words to heart at all, so he said, "Make amends? What do you think the Shen Family has that the mentor would care about? You’d better drop this idea early, don’t waste your efforts."
Shen Yunlong gritted his teeth, knowing in Su Changfeng’s eyes the Shen Family naturally counted for nothing. What else could the Shen Family offer?
"Wang Junyi, today’s matter has nothing to do with you, right?" Shen Yunlong said.
"Of course, do you think I would say these things to you?" Wang Junyi said.
Shen Yunlong furrowed his brows, somewhat uncertain about Wang Junyi’s meaning.
Wang Junyi didn’t bother to beat around the bush, directly saying, "If it weren’t for my mentor not being interested in entangling with you, do you think I’d be willing to listen to you babble here? If you were smart, you’d get lost quickly."
Shen Yunlong looked at Su Changfeng, seeing his expression indifferent, seeming not to have them in his eyes at all.
"Su Changfeng, as long as you are willing to forgive me and give me a chance, I am willing to listen to you, and the Shen Family will follow your lead." Shen Yunlong said, even offering the Shen Family to Su Changfeng if he would take him as a disciple.
But unfortunately, the small Shen Family is not worth Su Changfeng’s consideration.
"Go back, I can disregard what happened before, but as for becoming a disciple, forget it, I won’t take you as my disciple." Su Changfeng said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Junyi spoke up with a smile, "Shen Yunlong, get lost quickly, if you dawdle any longer, don’t blame me for being rude."
After speaking, with a thought, a blood-red figure appeared beside him.
The Blood Lion stood imposing beside Wang Junyi, ready to pounce on the Shen father and son at any moment.
Seeing this, Shen Yunlong felt a deep sense of despair. In fact, before coming over, he knew in his heart that this was unlikely to succeed, after all, even Shen Rushuang couldn’t persuade Su Changfeng to change his mind, how much weight do he and Shen Yaowen have in Su Changfeng’s eyes?
But he was ultimately unwilling to give up. Even after the other party explicitly refused, Shen Yunlong still couldn’t accept it.
Over the years, he had been searching and striving to join a master’s sect to enhance his abilities, finally encountering a master, yet he missed his chance, and instead it was given to the likes of Wang Junyi, a waste, how can he be reconciled?
"Su Changfeng, is there really no chance?" Shen Yaowen was also unwilling, looking at Su Changfeng and asked.
"I didn’t hold the Shen Family accountable, consider me very accommodating." Su Changfeng said flatly, and he was indeed right, if it were someone else, they’d probably have dealt with the Shen Family long ago, but he has received modern education and doesn’t want his hands to be stained with too much blood, hence he didn’t make things difficult for the Shen Family.
Shen Yaowen sighed, knowing the matter truly has no chance, so he returned together with Shen Yunlong.
