The City's Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1316: Identity Exposed

"Shen Yaowen, what are you? Are you actually planning to oppose the Emperor?" Wang Junyi spoke with disdain.

The Emperor?

Shen Yaowen’s face turned pale. What on earth is happening? How did this end up involving the Emperor?

Everyone knows, the Emperor is Xingluo’s top figure. Not to mention a mere Shen Family, even the once powerful Qiutang Clan couldn’t escape the Emperor’s wrath.

"Shen Yunlong, what exactly have you done?" Shen Yaowen questioned coldly.

At this point, Shen Yunlong couldn’t hide the truth and honestly recounted his actions to Shen Yaowen.

Having heard the sequence of events, Shen Yaowen’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, a layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

So that’s how it is. This unworthy son tried to attack Su Changfeng, but the Emperor had no intention of holding Su Changfeng accountable.

Ultimately, Shen Yunlong ended up dragging himself into this mess.

"Didn’t I tell you before to be careful? Didn’t you listen to what I said? Why didn’t you discuss it with me first?" Shen Yaowen spoke through gritted teeth.

Shen Yunlong definitely didn’t consider discussing it with Shen Yaowen, because in his view, once he exposed the matter, Su Changfeng would undoubtedly be doomed. How could he have known the Emperor would let Su Changfeng go so easily?

"Everyone, I’m sure you remember Su Changfeng, who was driven out of the Shen Family by Shen Yunlong?" At this moment, Wang Junyi suddenly turned to the crowd watching the spectacle and asked.

That incident caused quite a stir in Tianshui City. Anyone in the city knew about it. At that time, they all treated it as a joke and said plenty of bad things about Su Changfeng in private.

"Young Master Wang, the matter caused such a commotion back then, of course we know!"

"Young Master Wang, are you planning to stick up for Su Changfeng? What ability does he have that makes you step in personally?"

"Yes, yes..."

Hearing these words, Wang Junyi smiled and said, "Everyone, the reason my power has increased so rapidly recently is mainly due to having a good mentor, which I’m sure you all understand, right?"

The crowd nodded. They knew Wang Junyi had a mentor behind him, and they speculated about who this person could be, but the clues were simply too few. To this day, they still didn’t know who this person was.

"Young Master Wang, please just tell us directly. We’ve been curious for a long time."

"Yes, yes, who is this master? I’ve never seen someone so formidable!"

"Right, is this person someone from Tianshui City?"

"..."

For a moment, the people’s emotions were stirred again. Seeing how eager everyone looked, Wang Junyi felt even more pleased. He’d been holding onto this big secret, and today he could finally reveal it.

"Actually, my mentor is Su Changfeng!" Wang Junyi announced.

Boom!

This statement was like a bolt of thunder, exploding in everyone’s ears, and all their faces showed a hint of disbelief. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

The crowd gasped. To them, this revelation was shockingly overwhelming.

Remember, in the crowd’s previous understanding, Su Changfeng was the waste driven out by the Shen Family, someone they’d joked about over meals.

But now, he had suddenly transformed into Wang Junyi’s mentor.

Moreover, a mentor capable of upgrading Wang Junyi from a second-rank to a fifth-rank expert. Yet, such an expert was considered a waste when he was with the Shen Family? freёweɓnovel.com

"Young Master Wang, surely you’re joking, right?"

"Right, the Su Changfeng you mentioned isn’t the one we’re all familiar with?"

"This... if he really is a master, then why didn’t he fight back when Shen Yunlong drove him away?"

Everyone looked at Wang Junyi with disbelief because this news was simply too shocking. They couldn’t connect the image of the waste with Wang Junyi’s mentor.

Moreover, they couldn’t understand why, if Su Changfeng was that powerful, he let Shen Yunlong bully him in the first place. It was truly unfathomable.

"It’s just as you think, I’m not joking with you all. My mentor is the very same Su Changfeng you know. As for why he allowed Shen Yunlong to bully him, it’s simply because my mentor couldn’t be bothered to deal with such trash." Wang Junyi explained.

Seeing the crowd still showed doubt, Wang Junyi continued, "My mentor is like a fierce tiger, while Shen Yunlong is merely a clawing ant. Have you ever seen a tiger move against an ant?"

Having heard this, many people suddenly understood.

Indeed, with Su Changfeng’s skill, he naturally didn’t need to bother with Shen Yunlong. If he really took Shen Yunlong seriously, it would be lowering himself.

"Upon learning my mentor’s identity, Shen Yunlong had the nerve to ask my mentor to take him as a disciple. But my mentor scorned such a worthless being and refused him. In retaliation, this guy then wanted revenge against my mentor. Do you think someone like him deserves to die?" Wang Junyi said.

"So that’s how it is. I say, Shen Yunlong, you were the one who personally drove Su Changfeng out. It’s only fair if he refuses to take you as a disciple. And yet, you want to go against him; have you even looked at yourself?"

"Yes, a weak second-rank actually dares to oppose him!"

"Such people don’t deserve to live!"

"Right, he deserves to die!"

For a moment, the crowd’s emotions were stirred, shouting that Shen Yunlong deserved to die.

Shen Yaowen’s face grew increasingly dire. The situation had reached a point where it wasn’t easily resolved. Clearly, Wang Junyi planned to defend Su Changfeng, and the actions the Shen Family took against Su Changfeng wouldn’t be so easily forgotten.

"Wang Junyi, where is Su Changfeng?" Shen Yaowen asked. He knew the only one who could change this situation was Su Changfeng, so he had no intention of entangling with Wang Junyi. He must see Su Changfeng and assess whether there’s room to maneuver.

"Shen Yaowen, who are you to see my mentor? Besides, my mentor has entrusted Shen Yunlong to me, so this matter no longer concerns him." Wang Junyi replied.

At this moment, Shen Rushuang finally returned. Seeing Shen Yunlong kneeling there, her face showed pain.

"Go, quickly find Su Changfeng." Seeing Shen Rushuang appear, Shen Yaowen quickly said.

Shen Rushuang replied in despair, "It’s no use. I’ve already pleaded with him before."

"Then why don’t you keep pleading? Or do you really want to see your brother die?" Shen Yaowen insisted.
