Yan Hai'an, a powerful figure from Tuo Shi, confronted Zhou Wang and questioned Su Changfeng's identity. Zhou Wang, initially proud of his connection to Su Changfeng, grew suspicious as Yan Hai'an denied knowing Su Changfeng, suggesting Su Changfeng might not be from Tuo Shi after all. To resolve the dispute, Zhou Wang summoned Su Changfeng to the Zhou Family estate.

Yan Hai’an returned to the Zhou family, actually hoping to uncover Su Changfeng’s identity, and then have the Zhou family put their faith in him. This way, he could receive a large sum of money.

Otherwise, he could have waited until the finals of the Martial Arts Competition to do such a thing.

Zhou Wang wasn’t a fool; he knew what Yan Hai’an’s intentions were when he said these things now, so he nodded with a smile and said, "I understand if what Su Changfeng said is indeed a lie."

"Our Zhou family would compensate Tuo Shi for believing in Su Changfeng, and might even put our faith in you."

So the two of them quietly waited for Su Changfeng to arrive, even though Zhou Yunqi and Zhou Wang’s hearts were very conflicted.

Because they both knew what kind of impact it would have on the Zhou family if Su Changfeng’s identity was fake.

This means all the efforts they previously made were completely wasted, and even now, things have reached a point of no return.

After a moment, Su Changfeng arrived.

When Su Changfeng saw Zhou Wang and Zhou Yunqi there, he faintly sensed something was amiss, as if something had happened, judging by their appearances.

Not to mention that there was an unfamiliar Yan Hai’an present, which meant Zhou Wang had a reason for calling him here.

Therefore, Su Changfeng smiled and said, "It seems like you are entertaining guests."

Before Zhou Wang could speak, Yan Hai’an directly said, "Su Changfeng, you have some nerve to impersonate us Tuo Shi people!"

Yan Hai’an’s purpose in coming here was to let Zhou Wang know that Su Changfeng was lying, so upon seeing Su Changfeng, he didn’t want to waste too much time and spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng realized why Zhou Yunqi had called him here.

He guessed the speaker was from Tuo Shi, and was here to inform Zhou Yunqi and Zhou Wang that he was lying.

However, Su Changfeng knew what kind of organization Tuo Shi was. Even though this person could expose him, Su Changfeng was once the most senior figure.

Therefore, if they wanted to prove that Su Changfeng was lying, only Elder Wu’s presence could make it possible; otherwise, no one else could prove it.

Su Changfeng looked at Zhou Wang and questioned, "Who is this?"

Yan Hai’an looked at Su Changfeng with arrogance and said, "I am from Tuo Shi, and you are deceiving the Zhou family by claiming to be one of us?"

Su Changfeng retorted, "But can you prove that everything you say is true?"

"Su Changfeng, these actions will bring severe consequences for yourself. Even though your performance in the Martial Arts Competition was stellar,"

"Your abilities are nothing when you face us Tuo Shi people," Yan Hai’an said with a very smug expression.

Indeed, in the secular world, there are many skilled individuals, but they have no standing to compare with Tuo Shi.

Su Changfeng said to Yan Hai’an, "I reckon you’re from the lowest level in Tuo Shi, so you spend your time in the secular world seeking talented individuals to recruit into Tuo Shi, correct?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hai’an’s face turned ashen, because only Tuo Shi people were aware of the hierarchy within the organization, and outsiders did not know that Tuo Shi had four levels.

"You, as a member of the fourth level, usually find ways to accumulate wealth and resources for yourself. Are you one of those guys?"

Su Changfeng said to Yan Hai’an, understanding that he had seen such things before, so Yan Hai’an’s arrival had to be for this reason, trying to prove he was lying.

Yan Hai’an’s face had lost all color, unexpectedly aware that Su Changfeng knew of these matters, and even held himself with such superiority, as if he was from a higher rank.

Su Changfeng said to Yan Hai’an, "Do you understand the consequences of using your Tuo Shi identity for such actions?!"

Yan Hai’an had a glimmer of panic in his eyes, never anticipating Su Changfeng to possess such an attitude, seeming genuinely like a Tuo Shi member.

Otherwise, how could one explain Su Changfeng’s knowledge of these things?

Yan Hai’an looked at Su Changfeng in surprise and said, "But, but how do you know these things?"

Initially, Yan Hai’an always believed Su Changfeng was lying, but now, seeing him know so much about Tuo Shi, he began suspecting that Su Changfeng might actually be a Tuo Shi member.

"Which pavilion are you from?" Su Changfeng continued.

At that moment, Yan Hai’an’s strength drained away, and he collapsed to the ground.

How could Su Changfeng even know this?!

If Su Changfeng were not from Tuo Shi, there would be no way to explain his knowledge of these matters!

Initially, Zhou Yunqi and Zhou Wang were very concerned about whether Su Changfeng’s words were true or false, but after witnessing Yan Hai’an’s reaction, they were completely relieved.

Now it was clear that Su Changfeng was indeed from Tuo Shi, and Yan Hai’an’s claim to the contrary was solely due to his lower status.

Su Changfeng continued, "Are you Elder Wu’s subordinate or Yin Zhengyuan’s?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hai’an was utterly distraught, as these two were the Pavilion Masters of Tuo Shi! Su Changfeng even knew about them?!

Su Changfeng, seeing the desired effect had mostly been achieved, said, "You should know I’m a first-level member, yet you, a fourth-level member, dare to question my identity here?!"

"Even exploiting your identity for personal gain, do you understand the actions you’ve committed?!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hai’an’s mind went blank, unable to fathom how things had escalated to this point.
