Chapter 1238: Chapter 1237: Father and Son Talk

"From now on, you’d better behave and not go out. When the hunting tournament begins, you’ll be my guard and accompany me there," said Shen Rushuang.

"Guard? I think it’s more like a death warrior, right?" Su Changfeng said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Shen Rushuang’s expression changed dramatically, and she hurriedly denied, "What are you talking about? I didn’t mean that!"

Su Changfeng curled his lips into a somewhat strange smile, but he didn’t say anything more.

Seeing his expression, Shen Rushuang felt even more guilty and quickly left.

Su Changfeng’s demeanor seemed as if he had guessed her intentions, a feeling that was terrible for Shen Rushuang. She believed she was the one who could firmly control Su Changfeng, but now the situation seemed to be slipping out of her grasp.

She even had a feeling that Su Changfeng had long known her plans, but he just hadn’t exposed them.

What exactly is going on? Could it be that he really guessed her plans?

If he really guessed her plans, why didn’t he resist? Could it be that he was really willing to die?

"Rushuang, are you alright?" Shen Yunlong couldn’t help but ask when he saw his sister’s face looking increasingly grim.

Shen Rushuang shook her head. She couldn’t be sure if her suspicions were correct, but there was an uneasy feeling in her heart. Su Changfeng was just a useless person, so why was she feeling uneasy?

"I’m fine, brother. The hunting tournament is about to start, so we should prepare quickly," said Shen Rushuang.

Shen Yunlong nodded. His lifelong dream was to achieve success and reach higher levels. Whether it was seeking to learn from powerful mentors or striving to become a Beast Tamer, he was fully prepared.

It must be said that Shen Yunlong had a strong desire for power and status.

But on the other hand, Shen Yunlong was somewhat overambitious. His ability was obvious, which determined many things, and while pursuing higher positions wasn’t wrong, one should act within their means.

At this moment, at the City Lord Mansion.

Wang Chongxing saw his son returning with a woman’s portrait in hand, and he was so angry he didn’t know what to say.

He had always pinned his hopes on this son, expecting him to strive forward, but this scoundrel always focused all his attention on women.

Whether it was Shen Rushuang before or the girl in the painting now, he never thought about serious matters or understood how dire the situation was for their City Lord Mansion.

"Wang Junyi, are you trying to make me die from anger? Look at the timing now, you only know how to follow women around all day long, you’re driving me crazy!" Wang Chongxing looked at Wang Junyi, feeling the anger rising in him.

Wang Junyi knew his father misunderstood, but he had promised Su Changfeng to keep it confidential, and he really didn’t know how to explain at the moment.

"Dad, you’re overthinking. Have you seen me like any other woman besides Shen Rushuang?" Wang Junyi said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chongxing snorted heavily and said, "What, one Shen Rushuang isn’t enough? Look at what you’ve become, if this continues, your life will be over!"

Burning with anger, Wang Chongxing ordered the painters Wang Junyi had brought to get out of the City Lord Mansion, or he would kill them.

Seeing this, all the painters stopped what they were doing, naturally not daring to risk their lives. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

But Wang Chongxing was unwilling. This was something Su Changfeng had entrusted to him. If he let his father drive the painters away, what would he do?

"Father, I really have important business, something extremely important to me. Please trust me this once and don’t interfere, okay?" Wang Junyi said anxiously.

Wang Chongxing looked at Wang Junyi with a stern expression. The City Lord Mansion’s situation was dire, and whether they could escape being puppets depended on this moment.

He had been secretly preparing for this day, but his good son, not only unhelpful but wasting a lot of time on women, how could he not be angry?

"Wang Junyi, if you keep messing around, you can get out of the City Lord Mansion. The Wang Family doesn’t need a son like you!" Wang Chongxing reprimanded sternly.

Seeing Wang Chongxing completely disbelieve him, Wang Junyi felt helpless inside. On one side was his father, and on the other his mentor, it was really tough for him.

Gritting his teeth, Wang Junyi finally made up his mind and said to Wang Chongxing, "Father, come with me, I have something to tell you, and then you’ll understand me."

"Do you think you can fob me off with a few words? I’m not joking with you. If you don’t restrain yourself, I’ll kick you out of the City Lord Mansion immediately!" Wang Chongxing wasn’t buying it; he was extremely angry.

Wang Junyi, however, insisted, "Father, just come with me. I promise after you see, you won’t think I’m messing around."

With that said, Wang Junyi walked directly toward the backyard. Since he had promised Su Changfeng, he certainly couldn’t reveal their relationship to anyone, not even his father. So now, the only way was to let Wang Chongxing see his power and understand why he had to do what he did.

Wang Chongxing originally didn’t want to give Wang Junyi a chance, but he rarely saw his son so determined, which inevitably made him curious about what Wang Chongxing relied on.

The father and son went together to the backyard, and after seeing that there wasn’t anyone around, Wang Chongxing said, "What is it you want me to see? Hurry up and show it. If you can’t convince me, you must behave properly from now on."

Wang Junyi confidently took out his life-bound magical artifact and said, "Father, you’ll definitely be surprised."

Surprised? Him?

Upon hearing this, Wang Chongxing snorted, but when he saw the four blue lights swirling around the blade, his eyes widened instantly.

As Wang Junyi’s father, he naturally knew his son’s strength. Over the years, he had always tried to break through the Second Rank but failed. Unless guided by a master or encountering some fortuitous chance, it might remain this way for his lifetime.

But the four flashing blue lights in front of him told him a fact he dared not imagine; now Wang Junyi seemed to be a Fourth-rank Expert.

"Fourth... Fourth Rank?" Wang Chongxing’s eyes widened, looking at those blue lights and his son with disbelief, "How is it possible? When did you advance to Fourth Rank?"

Wang Junyi’s expression was slightly smug. He had anticipated his father’s reaction. After all, advancing two ranks overnight was something anyone would find hard to accept immediately.

"Father, it only took one night for my ability to increase by two ranks," Wang Junyi explained with a smile.
