The City's Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1360: In Big Trouble

"You should first ask your good son." Su Changfeng smiled, looking indifferent.

"Indeed, so full of themselves. I heard you have a Seven-star Beast Tamer beside you." As he spoke, Mu Wei instinctively glanced at Wang Junyi nearby, then continued, "But above Seven-star Beast Tamers, there are many more formidable experts."

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow. Judging from what the other party said, it seems the Mu Family has experts at the late stage of the third rank; Su Changfeng was indeed somewhat surprised by this.

After all, within the Xingluo Territory, having powers at the late stage of the third rank is truly rare, no wonder Mu Yan was so arrogant.

"I don’t mean anything else, just here to attend an auction." Su Changfeng said calmly.

Mu Yan let out a cold laugh. In his view, Su Changfeng saying something like this suddenly must be an act of cowardice and fear. However, offending the Mu Family is not something that can be resolved with a few words.

"Do you have the qualification to go in and participate?" Mu Yan looked at him with a mocking face.

Su Changfeng did not bother to reply to him. He took out the card Zhou Hai had given him from his pocket and said calmly, "Whether I can participate, you don’t get to decide."

Mu Yan’s expression changed. From the delicate quality of the card, it was obviously higher grade than his own. That means if Su Changfeng’s card is genuine, then his status is above his own.

How could this be? Just a waste, why does he have an entrance card higher in grade than mine?

"Where did you get this card from?" Mu Yan asked in a cold voice, the questioning tone quite apparent.

"Naturally, got it from Zhou Hai’s side. Haven’t you seen it?" Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Mu Wei’s complexion turned serious. Since the other has produced an entrance card, it implies he has the qualification to enter; he wouldn’t be creating a fake card just to disgrace himself, would he?

Besides, the higher the grade, the less simple the person’s identity must be. Today the people attending the auction are not simple individuals; many members from prestigious families are here, which inevitably makes Mu Wei suspicious of Su Changfeng’s true identity.

Perhaps, this person is not the wastrel Mu Yan claimed he was?

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll go inside first." Su Changfeng said.

Mu Wei instinctively moved aside, making way for Su Changfeng.

"Father, are you just going to let him off like that?" After Su Changfeng and others departed, Mu Yan couldn’t help but ask Mu Wei.

"Are you sure you’ve thoroughly investigated the other party’s background?" Mu Wei asked with a stern face. He had a hunch that trouble seemed to be brewing for the Mu Family.

In truth, Mu Yan had never looked into Su Changfeng’s identity, as he could tell from Su Changfeng’s attire that he wasn’t anyone noteworthy. After all, those kinds of people are always dressed in finery.

"Father, he’s just an insignificant person beneath notice, isn’t he?" Mu Yan said.

"An insignificant person with a card higher than the Mu Family’s?" Mu Wei asked coldly.

"This..." Mu Yan was momentarily at a loss, completely unsure how to explain.

Just then, a group of people suddenly approached Mu Wei.

In fact, he’d been watching on the side, and when he saw the card in Su Changfeng’s hand, he was quite shocked. The Mu Family didn’t know what it was, but he did; only the Situ Family could obtain such a card for this auction.

So he instinctively thought of the seller behind the Fate Fruit, as besides Situ Family, likely only that person could acquire it.

"Mu Wei, your good son truly has guts, daring to provoke such a high-profile figure. It seems your Mu Family is really in for it this time." The person said with a laugh.

Upon seeing the person who approached, Mu Wei’s eyes showed dissatisfaction; the person was none other than their longtime rival, Cheng Jin.

The Mu Family and the Cheng Family belonged to the same city and had been rivals for years, constantly clashing both openly and covertly, yet to determine supremacy. Mu Wei certainly was in no mood to be laughed at by Cheng Jin.

"That’s Mu Family business, what’s it to you?" Mu Wei responded.

"Naturally, it has nothing to do with me. I’m just kindly reminding you, if my observations are correct, the card the person held earlier is the highest level card at this auction. Only families like the Situ Family can obtain such a card, but he doesn’t seem like someone from the Situ Family. So who do you think he might be? Hahaha..." Cheng Jin said with laughter.

Cheng Jin waved his hand grandly and left, but his words left the father and son of the Mu Family quite puzzled.

"Father, what did he mean by what he just said?" Mu Yan frowned and asked Mu Wei in a confused manner.

Mu Wei’s brow furrowed as well. The highest level entrance card, a card only the Situ Family could obtain?

If only the Situ Family can get it, then from where did that young man acquire it?

Mu Wei felt these words were somewhat contradictory. After all, within the Xingluo, no family compares to the Situ Family’s status. Since it’s a privilege only the Situ Family enjoys, how could others casually possess it?

Unless they’re the Emperor, enjoying such treatment, but how would the Emperor casually show up in Xinluo City?

"Hmph." Mu Wei snorted, and said, "I think Cheng Jin is just being cryptic, who knows what he really means?"

Mu Yan, seeing his father say this, naturally couldn’t be bothered by the issue anymore, so he told Mu Wei, "Father, don’t worry about it, let’s hurry inside."

Mu Wei nodded, and the two of them proceeded inside.

Inside, it was divided into five areas, each representing a difference in identity and status. It’s an extremely unequal division, yet none present showed any dissatisfaction, likely well accustomed to such segregation—quite unlike the rules on Earth.

"Master, it seems we are indeed in the best area." Wang Junyi said to Su Changfeng with an expression of pride. The area they were located in was composed of specially designed rooms, with walls completely blocking views from neighbors, greatly ensuring guests’ privacy.

As for the visible area ahead, it was made of special material, allowing clear observation of the surroundings while those outside couldn’t see inside clearly.

"You’re making a fuss over nothing." Su Changfeng laughed. From the moment he decided to bring out the Fate Fruit, he was destined to be the most special guest at the auction, arranged in the highest level area, so there was indeed nothing surprising.

"I’ve never been to such a high-end place before, wonder what treasures await." Wang Junyi said eagerly, rubbing his hands, full of anticipation.
