The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1408 - 1407: Fate Fruit Reappears

After waking up, Su Changfeng went directly to find Wang Junyi.

"Do you know where Baili Luoyuan lives?" Su Changfeng asked directly.

Baili Luoyuan is the most beautiful woman in the Qingluan Sect and is also the sect leader. Whether it’s in status or appearance, she matches Su Changfeng well. This is why Wang Junyi couldn’t help but speculate when Su Changfeng came so early.

"Master, you’re really amazing, managing to woo Sect Master Baili so quickly." Wang Junyi looked at Su Changfeng, grinning lewdly.

"Woo her? Like hell!" Su Changfeng glared at him irritably.

"Like hell, what does that mean?" Wang Junyi asked, confused, looking at Su Changfeng.

Seeing Wang Junyi’s eager-to-learn expression, Su Changfeng suppressed his urge to hit him, gritting his teeth and saying, "If you keep babbling, I won’t mind beating you to death."

Noticing the murderous look in Su Changfeng’s eyes, Wang Junyi dared not speak further, then compliantly led Su Changfeng to Baili Luoyuan’s residence.

"Master, Sect Master Baili lives here. If you don’t need anything else, I’ll head back first," Wang Junyi carefully said.

Of course, Su Changfeng knew what was going on in Wang Junyi’s mind. If he left now, their relationship would become even murkier. Although Su Changfeng didn’t care about such matters on the Tianyuan Continent, especially with Shen Hanxue not present, he didn’t want Wang Junyi to have idle thoughts. So he directly said, "Why are you leaving? Come inside with me!"

With that, Su Changfeng reached out to knock on the door.

Wang Junyi stood beside, looking hesitant, mentally complaining about why he was dragged into this meeting of two people.

Though he wanted to ask Su Changfeng, he also knew that asking might result in him getting beaten, so he sensibly stayed silent.

Determining if a woman is truly beautiful can most effectively be done when she awakens in the morning, but when Baili Luoyuan opened the door, she still appeared stunning, evident from Wang Junyi’s awe-struck eyes.

"Sect Master Su, you’re here so early. Are you planning to evict me?" Baili Luoyuan asked.

Before Su Changfeng could speak, Wang Junyi anxiously replied, "Of course not! My master definitely doesn’t mean that. Sect Master Baili, the doors of Changfeng Sect are always open for you. You can stay as long as you wish."

Baili Luoyuan curled the corners of her mouth into a smile; this was the kind of behavior a man should display in front of her. However, Su Changfeng remained composed, not even glancing her way.

"Then thank you, Elder Wang." Baili Luoyuan said with a smile.

"You’re too kind, you’re too kind. Your willingness to stay in our Changfeng Sect is our great fortune..."

"Ahem, ahem..." Su Changfeng promptly cleared his throat; Wang Junyi had taken his toadying to a new level, and he couldn’t bear to watch.

Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s cough, Wang Junyi reluctantly regained a bit of sense, realizing it wasn’t the time for him to speak freely and subtly stepped back behind Su Changfeng.

"Sect Master Su, why have you come to see me?" Baili Luoyuan asked, knowing full well there was a purpose to his visit.

"Sect Master Baili, I hope you can accompany me to Chenguang Hall," Su Changfeng said.

Baili Luoyuan was slightly surprised. She hadn’t expected Su Changfeng to come for this particular reason.

It seemed he was indeed planning to visit Chenguang Hall, but why did he want to bring her along?

"Sect Master Su, you must understand that if the Emperor wants to do anything to you, it won’t help if you bring me along," Baili Luoyuan said.

"Sect Master Baili misunderstood; I certainly didn’t mean that. And if the Emperor harbors murderous intent towards me, I definitely wouldn’t implicate you. The reason I’m making this request is that Sect Master Baili is knowledgeable; if there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll rely on Sect Master Baili to help explain," Su Changfeng said.

The reason Su Changfeng provided sounded far-fetched to Baili Luoyuan. Could he be superficially proper but secretly very lustful, using this as a pretext to intentionally get close to her?

Baili Luoyuan studied Su Changfeng. If he was merely pretending to be decent, his act was seamless; after all, a person’s eyes can’t lie, yet he genuinely achieved it.

"Sect Master Baili, I understand your thoughts, but I really don’t have any ulterior motives," Su Changfeng said.

To Baili Luoyuan, this statement was an even less acceptable reason, making it hard for her to control her temper as she angrily retorted, "Sect Master Su, on what grounds should I accompany you or help answer your questions? I am, after all, the Qingluan Sect leader. Doing this diminishes my dignity!"

Su Changfeng knew very well that women are formidable beings, and offending them never leads to favorable outcomes.

Evidently, he found himself on the verge of offending Baili Luoyuan. If he couldn’t manage this situation properly, the relationship between Changfeng Sect and Qingluan Sect might reach a point of contention.

"Please rest assured, Sect Master Baili; I won’t let you suffer," Su Changfeng said.

"Won’t let me suffer? Does Sect Master Su think I’m someone easily bought?" Baili Luoyuan scoffed, inwardly resolving that regardless of the benefits Su Changfeng offered, she wouldn’t waver and certainly wouldn’t let Su Changfeng demean her.

But no matter how well she planned, unexpected occurrences might happen. Baili Luoyuan’s firm resolve crumbled upon seeing the Fate Fruit in Su Changfeng’s hand.

No one could remain indifferent before the Fate Fruit, not even a Primordial Master.

"Sect Master Su, you..." Baili Luoyuan’s calm expression faltered; her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"This is the Fate Fruit. If Sect Master Baili agrees, it shall be yours," Su Changfeng said.

Baili Luoyuan couldn’t control her now-labored breathing. The resolution she reached moments ago vanished entirely. She truly hadn’t expected Su Changfeng to be willing to give her the Fate Fruit.

How could she refuse this? Could she truly refuse?

"Sect Master Su, you’re... you’re not joking, are you? Fate Fruit is such a precious item; are you sure you want to give it to me?" Baili Luoyuan asked, filled with skepticism. To her, this seemed like a joke—no one would casually give away such a valuable thing.

Next to them, Wang Junyi chuckled. Though he had known about the existence of the Fate Fruit before, he hadn’t seen it. When Su Changfeng gave it to him, he had no feelings about it until the event in Xinluo City. There, he understood how precious the Fate Fruit truly was, and how good Su Changfeng was to him.
