The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1388 - 1387: Immortal Clash
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
"Hehe." Yu Changfeng sneered, saying, "It’s just a brothel, what’s so attractive about it? The women in our Dongling Club are really beautiful; what truly attracts people is their clothing and style, something you Xingluo People have never witnessed."
If Su Changfeng heard these words, who knows what he would feel inside?
"Su Changfeng suddenly came to Fengming City, what do you think he’s up to?" You Meng looked at Yu Changfeng with a puzzled expression, asking. She had pondered this question throughout the journey, but still couldn’t figure it out.
Yet she had a vague intuition that Su Changfeng wouldn’t act so simply.
"Think about it, you’ve lived long enough to understand that there’s no need to torment yourself. Wait patiently, the truth will reveal itself eventually; there’s no point in overthinking now," Yu Changfeng said helplessly.
He was different from You Meng; he understood clearly and would never be troubled by such matters. Regardless of how hidden things were, the truth will eventually dawn. All he needed to do was wait.
And waiting was the mastery of a Primordial Master like him, given his abundance of time, there was no need to rush.
"I just worry that he’ll do something unwise," You Meng said with a furrowed brow, a trace of concern in her gaze.
Yu Changfeng’s expression suddenly turned serious, asking, "Could it be that you’ve fallen for that guy?"
On hearing this, killing intent emanated instantly from You Meng, who looked coldly at Yu Changfeng, demanding, "If you want a fight, I’m always ready, don’t provoke me unnecessarily."
Yu Changfeng quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no, I was just casually speaking. I’ve liked you for so many years; if someone snatched you away halfway, wouldn’t I suffer a huge loss?"
You Meng rolled her eyes in annoyance. In fact, Yu Changfeng had visited Xingluo long ago and had openly invited her to Dongling, with his reasons unhidden.
If anyone deserved You Meng in this world, Yu Changfeng was the most suitable, given they were both Primordial Masters. Unfortunately, You Meng had no interest in him at all.
Mainly because Yu Changfeng was truly old, whereas You Meng’s aged appearance was deliberately donned. In reality, the true You Meng wasn’t that old, thus psychologically she couldn’t accept Yu Changfeng.
"Let’s quickly find a place to settle down." You Meng said lightly.
Inside Situ Mansion.
Although Su Changfeng had made up his mind to establish a Sect, he also had to consider what impact this decision would have on Chenguang Hall, and the Emperor’s view on the matter.
If this decision was opposed by the Emperor, implementing the plan might not be as easy as he thought.
To develop a Sect, sufficient time is necessary. If during this period the Emperor intervenes, attempting to grow would be a mere pipe dream.
The only possibility might be to align with the Emperor and work for him, but this outcome was not acceptable to Su Changfeng.
"Qingqing, do you think, given such a major decision, Chenguang Hall won’t ignore it? Do you have any suggestions for handling it?" Su Changfeng asked Chen Qingqing.
"Brother Changfeng, establishing a Sect is indeed a big matter, news can’t be concealed. Plus, given your strength, how could the Emperor be unaware? Therefore, he will pay attention to your every move, so I don’t have many solutions," Chen Qingqing sighed helplessly.
Since establishing a Sect inherently involves recruiting disciples to strengthen the Sect, this inevitably stirs significant upheaval, attracting Chenguang Hall’s notice is unavoidable.
Su Changfeng naturally understood this principle, and because he understood, he found it such a headache: "If the Emperor starts guarding against us from now, it’s bad news for us."
"Brother Changfeng, I’ve heard something that says the Emperor of Chenguang Hall is really high above; what do you think it means?" Chen Qingqing asked in confusion.
Actually, Su Changfeng had also heard this saying, yet he couldn’t quite comprehend its meaning. However, in his view, Chenguang Hall must have something unique within it, or some method for the Emperor to become stronger.
But such a thing couldn’t leave Chenguang Hall, hence the saying.
"Probably, the Emperor’s power can be maximized only within Chenguang Hall," Su Changfeng speculated.
"It seems Chenguang Hall holds some secrets we are unaware of, and these secrets are known only to the Emperor," Chen Qingqing said, "Perhaps only when we’re thoroughly opposed to him will we uncover the secrets."
Meanwhile, in another room of the Situ Family, the room of the Patriarch Situ, now occupied by Situ Feng.
Inside, Situ Feng’s face was very serious, and even Zhou Hongyun beside him shared this demeanor.
Neither spoke, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
"He wants to establish a Sect; do I understand what it means?" Finally, Situ Feng broke the silence.
"Build his own power and contend with the Emperor?" Zhou Hongyun guessed, though fully unbelieving, finding no other explanation.
Given Su Changfeng’s current strength, he was fully capable of wandering freely like a carefree cloud, binding himself in a Sect seemed unnecessary, as genuine experts seldom seek entanglement.
"Previously, I merely guessed; never expected he truly harbors such intentions. What surprised me most is that the Situ Family seems destined to be involved, contrary to what I initially thought - to be mere spectators," Situ Feng’s tone was tinged with resentment.
Desiring to peacefully remain a spectator, he found himself dragged in unexpectedly. Worse, he lacked a better choice, how could he accept this? Especially when such a major affair could potentially gamble away the entire Situ Family.
Regarding Su Changfeng opposing the Emperor, Situ Feng naturally welcomed it, even anticipated a deadly clash between the two powers. However, he wasn’t willing to be involved.
Knowing that when Immortals fight, a minor figure like him could easily become cannon fodder, such an outcome was absolutely unwelcome.
"What’s your plan?" Zhou Hongyun asked.
"A plan?" At this, Situ Feng suddenly laughed, his smile intensely bitter, saying, "Given the situation now, do I even have the privilege of planning? Whatever Su Changfeng does, I naturally have to follow suit."
