The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1413 - 1412: Identity Exposed

"I’ll give you a chance to witness the might of the Emperor in Chenguang Hall. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?" Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Baili Luoyuan’s lips twitched. At this point, he could still joke around; wasn’t he worried at all?

"What kind of person are you, really?" Baili Luoyuan couldn’t help but ask. She had always been curious about this mysterious man. Ever since meeting Su Changfeng, she felt he was different from anyone else, whether in speech or action, or his approach to things; it was all unfamiliar to her.

Even in such a life-and-death moment, he could treat it as a joke?

"I’m a man; isn’t that obvious?" Su Changfeng said as if it were the most natural thing.

Baili Luoyuan couldn’t help but sigh. "If the Emperor really intends to act against you, I can’t help you."

"You’re only at the Eighth Rank; you wouldn’t be able to help me anyway," Su Changfeng said calmly.

"You!" Baili Luoyuan fumed with anger. No matter how you put it, she was the Sect Master of the Qingluan Sect. She had never been looked down upon like this, but Su Changfeng truly didn’t regard her at all.

Of course, when it came to strength, Su Changfeng indeed had the credentials. During the Shuanghu Mountain incident, he could contend with thirty masters of the Situ Family. What could she say?

"Hmph, then I’ll just watch carefully how the Emperor will kill you!" Baili Luoyuan said angrily.

Su Changfeng helplessly shook his head. Women really could change moods faster than flipping through a book. He didn’t even know what he had done to offend her.

Chenguang Hall wasn’t as grand as Su Changfeng imagined; it was more like a small town, even less impressive than a place like Xinluo City. However, those who could enter Chenguang Hall were of a strength that ordinary places couldn’t compare to.

Especially since there were so many masters and beast tamers here; just this alone was unrivaled elsewhere.

"It’s not quite what I had imagined," Su Changfeng remarked.

"Chenguang Hall may look small, but it’s the core of the entire Xingluo. Nature’s spiritual energy converges here, making it suitable for cultivators to train, so most people wish to join Xingluo," Baili Luoyuan explained to Su Changfeng.

"The environment is conducive to cultivation, which indeed attracts cultivators. But what about those who don’t join Xingluo, what’s their reason?" Su Changfeng asked.

As far as he knew, not all masters wanted to join Xingluo. For instance, Zhou Hongyun, who was with Situ Yuan before, hadn’t joined Xingluo. Su Changfeng had speculated that perhaps large families like the Situ Family could offer these masters more benefits. But once they were masters, surely they wouldn’t care much for material things?

Compared to Chenguang Hall’s cultivation environment, money and such were truly trivial.

"People have different pursuits, leading to different choices. Moreover, joining Xingluo means serving Xingluo, obeying the Emperor. Some people naturally love freedom and can’t stand such constraints," Baili Luoyuan explained.

Su Changfeng nodded, understanding somewhat.

Just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the city gate, surprising Su Changfeng slightly.

You Meng!

She had left Fengming City suddenly before, which puzzled Su Changfeng. Unexpectedly, she was here at Chenguang Hall; what brought her here?

At that moment, You Meng was already walking toward them with a smile and said to Su Changfeng and his entourage, "What? Didn’t expect to see me here?"

"Yeah, you were just a little beggar. It’s only natural I didn’t expect you to end up at Chenguang Hall," Su Changfeng said lightly.

"You’ve suspected my identity for a long time, so no need to mock me," You Meng replied.

"Mock you? I’m not that bold. What if you’re some royal kinship? Then I’m really done for," Su Changfeng raised his eyebrows.

You Meng chuckled helplessly. She never imagined that Su Changfeng would learn her true identity in this way. But now, she had no opportunity to continue hiding.

"If you’re curious about my identity, I can tell you now," You Meng offered.

"Forget it," Su Changfeng interrupted You Meng directly. "I’m not interested in you, so I don’t care who you are," he said.

"Su Changfeng, you are now the Sect Master of Changfeng Sect. Do you have to be so petty?" You Meng said coldly.

"Sect Master Baili, do you think I’m petty?" Su Changfeng turned to ask Baili Luoyuan.

Even though Baili Luoyuan was unaware of You Meng’s identity, watching the two bicker was interesting. She did not expect Su Changfeng to suddenly ask her, which caught her off guard.

"I don’t know if you’re petty, but you certainly don’t seem like a man," Baili Luoyuan replied.

Upon hearing this, You Meng couldn’t help but burst into laughter, teasingly looking at Su Changfeng, "What happened? What did you do to make Sect Master Baili think that?"

Su Changfeng didn’t argue with them on this, he just said to You Meng, "Since you came specifically to wait for me, it seems the Emperor already knows I’m here. Lead the way then."

"Are you really not curious about who I am?" You Meng blinked her eyes playfully. Given that she appeared at Chenguang Hall specifically waiting for him, wasn’t he at all curious about her identity?

"It’s rare for someone with the last name You to have the privilege to meet the Emperor, isn’t it?" Su Changfeng asked You Meng rhetorically.

Baili Luoyuan had been quietly observing as a bystander, but when she heard Su Changfeng say this, her eyes widened instantly.

You!

Indeed, on the Tianyuan Continent, there were many people with the surname You. However, those who had the privilege to meet the Emperor were scarce.

"Do you really think I’m related to You Meng?" You Meng asked with a smile.

Su Changfeng laughed coldly, "Don’t Primordial Masters have the ability to revert to youth? You Meng, do you think I’m really that stupid?"

Su Changfeng had long suspected a connection between You Meng and You Meng, perhaps some kind of blood relation. However, being able to see the Emperor meant it wasn’t that simple. Besides, she looked so young; Primordial Masters could revert to youth, so combining these traits, it was easy for Su Changfeng to deduce You Meng’s identity.

Though he was somewhat surprised, he could accept it. What intrigued Su Changfeng was how such a high and mighty Primordial Master chose to disguise herself as a little beggar and attach herself to him.

With her true identity revealed, You Meng found it rather dull. She initially thought she could keep Su Changfeng in suspense, but never imagined he would figure it out so quickly.
