Chapter 1255: Chapter 1254: Shen Rushuang’s Interrogation
"What!" Shen Rushuang looked at Shen Yunlong in shock, taming the Blood Lion?
Wang Junyi is only a Fourth Rank now, how could he have such ability?
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking? That’s a Seven-star Beast Blood Lion, Wang Junyi did indeed advance two Ranks before, but now he’s only Fourth Rank!" Shen Rushuang said.
Shen Yunlong also hoped this wasn’t true, but the facts were obvious, everyone in Tianshui City knew, he couldn’t change that!
Seeing Shen Yunlong remain silent, Shen Rushuang couldn’t help but look to Shen Yaowen, asking, "Father, this can’t be true, can it? Did Wang Junyi really tame the Seven-star Blood Lion?"
"Although we are not sure how he did it, he indeed tamed the Blood Lion. Before, he returned to Tianshui City with it, and many people saw it with their own eyes, so naturally it’s true," Shen Yaowen said.
Shen Rushuang gasped upon hearing this and looked at Shen Yunlong again.
She finally understood why Shen Yunlong was so silent; initially, he was almost on par with Wang Junyi in terms of strength, but within days, the gap between them widened considerably. How could he be content with that? However, after Wang Junyi tamed the Seven-star Beast, even if he were unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
After all, it wasn’t an ordinary Exotic Beast, but a powerful Seven-star Beast.
"By the way, has Su Changfeng returned?" Shen Rushuang seemed to finally remember something and asked quickly.
Shen Yunlong said disdainfully, "He’s back. He’s the one who brought you back."
"He brought me back? Yes, he must know what happened afterward. I will ask him now." Shen Rushuang said, struggling to get out of bed. Although she fainted, Su Changfeng didn’t, so she just needed to ask Su Changfeng to find out what happened afterward.
"Don’t bother, I’ve already asked him earlier. He said he passed out just like you, so he doesn’t know what happened in between either," Shen Yunlong said.
Shen Rushuang snorted, her eyes flashing with suspicion: "Passed out? Did he say he woke up a little earlier than me, and that’s why he was able to bring me back? How could it be so coincidental?"
Shen Yunlong’s expression changed, his aura filled with killing intent: "Are you suggesting that guy intentionally lied to me?"
"Whether he lied or not, I’ll go ask him now about what happened. How Wang Junyi advanced two Ranks and how he tamed the Seven-star Blood Lion. I guess only he knows," Shen Rushuang said expressionlessly.
At this time, Su Changfeng was inside resting with his eyes closed when Shen Rushuang rushed in angrily.
Su Changfeng wasn’t surprised. If Shen Rushuang hadn’t come to find him, that would be surprising. After all, Wang Junyi taming the Seven-star Beast was too unbelievable. He couldn’t just fool them casually.
"Don’t ask me, it’s pointless; I know just as much as you. Even if you ask, I can’t explain," Su Changfeng spoke ahead before Shen Rushuang could say anything.
Shen Rushuang’s eyes were sharp as she stared at Su Changfeng. She had a gut feeling that he was hiding something. He didn’t lose consciousness like she did, and maybe he witnessed how Wang Junyi subdued the Seven-star Blood Lion.
"Su Changfeng, don’t forget, you currently reside at my Shen Family. Your food and clothes all come from my Shen Family. When you were unconscious for so long, without me, you wouldn’t even know if you’d still be alive now. Isn’t that a favor?" Shen Rushuang said.
"Didn’t you take me in to use me?" Su Changfeng replied calmly.
"Regardless, I did save you. That’s undeniable," Shen Rushuang said.
Su Changfeng thought about it; she wasn’t wrong. No matter Shen Rushuang’s intentions, she did take him in. Without her, he really might have ended up dead in the wilderness.
"Alright, what do you plan to do?" Su Changfeng asked.
"I just need you to honestly tell me how Wang Junyi tamed the Blood Lion," Shen Rushuang said.
Su Changfeng sat up, looked seriously at Shen Rushuang, and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Stop with the nonsense," Shen Rushuang said, her eyes like torches.
Su Changfeng sighed and said, "Fine, let’s say it’s a favor repaid. The reason Wang Junyi could tame the Seven-star Blood Lion was because I helped him. Also, his advancing two Ranks was because of me. Well, I’ve told you what you wanted to know."
Shen Rushuang was instantly furious upon hearing this; he actually dared to say such shameless words. Did he think she was an idiot?
Su Changfeng was simply a worthless person, how could he have the ability to help Wang Junyi tame the Seven-star Blood Lion, and even dared to claim that Wang Junyi’s two Rank advancement was because of him, that was simply too much.
"Su Changfeng, do you think I’m stupid enough to be fooled by your few words?" Shen Rushuang said coldly.
Su Changfeng shrugged innocently and said, "I’m not lying to you, nor am I joking with you. Anyway, I’ve already said, believe it or not, that’s up to you."
"I ask you, does Wang Junyi have a master?" Shen Rushuang asked.
"Yes."
"He tamed the Blood Lion because his master helped?"
"Correct, Wang Junyi’s abilities aren’t enough to tame a Seven-star Beast."
"Then who exactly is his master?"
"Me," Su Changfeng blinked and said.
"Did he threaten you, insisting you mustn’t reveal this to outsiders?" Shen Rushuang instinctively didn’t believe Su Changfeng’s words, thinking he must have been intimidated by Wang Junyi to stay silent.
"Think what you want, I’ve told you everything I needed to," Su Changfeng said and didn’t bother with Shen Rushuang anymore, lying straight down. He felt he’d done right by the Shen Family. He’d been straightforward about what they wanted to know; whether she believed it was not his problem.
"I won’t force you; I understand the other party is powerful, and you don’t have the guts to defy him. But from now on, you and the Shen Family have no connection," Shen Rushuang said.
"What do you mean?" Su Changfeng asked, confused.
"Haha," Shen Rushuang looked at him with disdain, saying, "Look at yourself, mooching off the Shen Family every day. We don’t need such a useless person. Take your things and get out, leave Tianshui City. If I see you again, don’t blame me for being rude."
With that, Shen Rushuang left without looking back.
Su Changfeng looked at Shen Rushuang’s departing figure, somewhat bewildered. He hadn’t expected Shen Rushuang to be so resolute; he originally intended to keep hiding his identity using the Shen Family. Now, that seemed impossible.
But Su Changfeng wasn’t too worried; he now had the City Lord’s son as his disciple, how could he not find a place to stay?
