The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1391 - 1390: Probing Each Other

"Is that so? What’s his name? If he’s living in Fengming City, I can have Situ Feng investigate him, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow at him.

You Meng said with a calm expression, "Of course, it’s not a problem. His name is Yu Changfeng, feel free to look into it."

"Alright, go tell Situ Feng to thoroughly investigate this Yu Changfeng." Su Changfeng said to Chen Qingqing.

"Yes." Chen Qingqing nodded and then left.

Su Changfeng looked at the so-called siblings across from him, knowing full well they were definitely not siblings. But how did this man suddenly appear? Could it be that You Meng encountered some difficulty that requires his help?

However, for quite some time, Su Changfeng truly hadn’t noticed any strange behaviors from You Meng. Had he been careless, and hence missed something? Or was You Meng so secretive and cautious in her actions that even he couldn’t detect them?

Considering this possibility, Su Changfeng felt even more vigilant, because if You Meng had done something without him noticing, it would not be a good thing for him.

"Why did you suddenly want to establish a sect?" You Meng asked, displaying no panic over Su Changfeng’s investigation into Yu Changfeng, because she had already handled all problems when she appeared before Su Changfeng.

Seeing this, Yu Changfeng also greatly admired You Meng’s foresight. Initially, he thought it was unnecessary, but now understands just how correct it was.

"You want to know?" Su Changfeng countered.

"If I didn’t want to know, would I ask you? But you probably don’t know, typically in such matters, one has to inform the Emperor first. Obviously, you haven’t conveyed this news to Chenguang Hall yet," You Meng said.

"Are you from Chenguang Hall?" Su Changfeng chose not to answer You Meng’s question; without knowing the other party’s background, he naturally wouldn’t casually disclose his affairs.

"It seems neither of us can learn what we want from each other, since that’s the case, it makes it meaningless." You Meng smiled as she spoke.

"I don’t quite agree. You not answering my questions completely proves your identity is extraordinary, hence what I wish to know, I’ve gotten in a sense." Su Changfeng responded.

You Meng’s expression slightly changed; though Su Changfeng’s words were meant to provoke her, to a certain extent, she indeed found herself at a disadvantage in this brief exchange.

"Dealing with someone like you is truly difficult." You Meng sighed helplessly. In her view, Su Changfeng was meticulous and wise, and such people were generally not easy to deal with.

"Since you know it well, hurry up and leave, don’t wait until you lose and cry later, blaming me for not warning you." After saying this, Su Changfeng didn’t pause and simply walked away.

Watching Su Changfeng’s back, You Meng bit her lip in anger.

Seeing this, Yu Changfeng couldn’t help but tease, "Didn’t expect someone could infuriate you like this. Seems this young man is quite extraordinary."

"Oh, you’re mocking me?" You Meng glared at Yu Changfeng coldly.

Yu Changfeng quickly shook his head, gave a wry smile, and said, "No, no, I wouldn’t dare. I just purely feel he’s not that simple."

"Hmph." You Meng snorted coldly, saying, "Sooner or later, I’ll unravel all his secrets. Within Xingluo, there hasn’t been anything I couldn’t find out."

Yu Changfeng silently rolled his eyes. Nothing she couldn’t find out? That statement seemed boastful; putting aside other matters, she still hadn’t figured out Su Changfeng’s identity.

However, Yu Changfeng naturally wouldn’t voice such thoughts; You Meng was clearly in a bad mood, and adding fuel to the fire probably wouldn’t end well.

Though in terms of strength, Yu Changfeng wasn’t inferior to You Meng, but he harbored other desires towards her, certainly wouldn’t treat her harshly.

"Do you think the Emperor will react?" Yu Changfeng asked curiously.

You Meng thought for a while, then shook her head, "If he intended to prevent Su Changfeng, he’d have likely sent someone already, but based on the information I received, Chenguang Hall remains inactive, so regarding this matter, the Emperor seems to be turning a blind eye."

"Ah." Yu Changfeng sighed deeply, his tone slightly lamenting, "Even as esteemed as the Emperor, he dares not meddle casually. It seems the skies above Xingluo are truly about to change."

Although You Meng wished to refute Yu Changfeng’s words, his statement indeed left little room for counterargument.

After the news that Wanhua Mountain would establish a sect spread, it quickly attracted a large crowd, with many bringing their children, hoping their kids might be chosen to become sect disciples.

Of course, a large portion came from Xingluo’s lowest strata, poor families without power or influence; the best way to change one’s fate was becoming a sect disciple, as truly becoming a cultivator meant shedding the lowest rung identity.

However, for people like them wishing to join a sect, it naturally wasn’t so easy.

Regarding sects within Xingluo Territory, if you want to join, you must contribute to the sect to some degree, monetary offerings are unavoidable, but for poor families, such requirements are utterly unaffordable.

Thus, these people came with a ’try it’ mentality, not expecting they could truly become sect disciples, but since the opportunity was presented, they thought they should at least try.

"Master, many people have already arrived here at Wanhua Mountain, probably wanting to join the sect." At Situ’s old mansion, upon learning this news, Wang Junyi immediately informed Su Changfeng.

At the sect’s initial development phase, eager participants were naturally good news, so Su Changfeng directly said, "I leave this matter to you, handle it quickly. As for the sect’s waist tokens, I’ve instructed Situ Feng to expedite production. Once they are ready, they’ll be distributed."

Su Changfeng directly adopted the rules from Tuo Shi’s side, using Heaven, Earth, Xuan and Huang to classify different strengths and statuses among disciples, and waist tokens would be distributed to each as a form of identity proof.

"Master, but they are all from the lowest strata, the poor." Wang Junyi said hesitantly, as he’d heard before that when sects recruited, apart from those with particular talent, the rest had to provide sufficient funds; only then could the sect sustainably develop and expand. But currently, those gathered at Wanhua Mountain were all powerless, impoverished folks, for them to provide funds was basically hopeless.

If they truly accepted them, how could the sect be supported long-term?
