Chapter 1227: Chapter 1226: Never Seen the World

"Who are you?" a family head suddenly asked.

"Hello, I’m Su Changfeng, Shen Rushuang’s husband," Su Changfeng said with a smile.

There was a flicker of disdain in the other’s eyes. The incident where Su Changfeng couldn’t pay at the teahouse had been a joke among the people of Tianshui City, and upon seeing him now, he truly seemed to be a worthless waste.

"Shen Rushuang, your taste is really remarkable, handpicking this guy. Not only can he protect your purity, but he can also serve as your shield so Wang Junyi has no way to deal with you. Truly the Shen Family’s eldest daughter!" the opponent said mockingly.

Shen Rushuang’s face immediately turned sour. Although she too found Su Changfeng to be useless, hearing it from others did sting a bit, because after all, Su Changfeng was her husband in name. If he embarrassed himself, she would be humiliated alongside him.

"Su Changfeng, who let you come over? Hurry back!" Shen Rushuang said coldly.

Su Changfeng silently rolled his eyes, thinking: Do you think I want to be here? If it weren’t for the worry that you’d die and I’d lose the Shen Family as a shield, I’d have no interest in dealing with your affairs!

"My dear, what are you saying? Husband and wife are one. Since you’re in trouble, I must stand up and protect you. I’ve heard there are fourth-rank experts here today, and I’d like to have a look," Su Changfeng said.

After he spoke, a middle-aged man behind two family heads suddenly reached out and smashed a nearby wooden table into exaggerated fragments, causing Shen Rushuang’s expression to change drastically.

"See it clearly now? There’s nothing for you to do here. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get lost!" the middle-aged man said disdainfully, looking at Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng looked as if he was badly frightened, but inside he discreetly rolled his eyes. This level of skill was something he too could achieve effortlessly.

"Impressive, indeed a fourth-rank expert!" Su Changfeng remarked, seemingly in awe.

Seeing Su Changfeng looking like he’d never seen the world, the other party laughed outright.

"Shen Rushuang, you certainly have skills, choosing a husband like him."

"I never expected the great Miss Shen to have a misstep like this! While this kind of person might keep Wang Junyi from pestering you, it turns you into the joke of Tianshui City."

Upon hearing this, Shen Rushuang’s expression worsened, glaring at her maid irritably. If she hadn’t called Su Changfeng over, she wouldn’t have embarrassed herself so publicly, and those two old fools wouldn’t have had a reason to mock her.

"This is a Shen Family matter; no need to trouble everyone else," Shen Rushuang said coldly.

"Aren’t you going to get lost yet?" someone said, looking at Su Changfeng, finding it beneath them to talk to such trash.

Su Changfeng shook his head to himself, unable to help but click his tongue and exclaim.

"Kid, what do you mean by that?" the fourth-rank expert felt that Su Changfeng was provoking him and got angry.

"Nothing, just a bit of regret. The Shen Family has a rock, very hard, that took great effort to try and break but failed. Later, an expert came and split it with their bare hands. I was amazed at the time, thinking that was a true expert. You only broke a wooden table earlier; doesn’t seem as impressive as I thought," Su Changfeng said.

The fourth-rank expert looked at Su Changfeng with disdain and said, "As far as I know, there’s no such expert in Tianshui City. Do you think I’m being intimidated?"

"Do you think I’m intimidating you? Indeed, indeed," Su Changfeng shook his head in mock seriousness, continuing, "If you don’t believe it, why not ask my wife? She saw it with her own eyes."

Upon hearing this, the fourth-rank expert’s expression changed, and even the two family heads suddenly turned serious. If Su Changfeng was telling the truth and the Shen Family had truly hired such an expert, they came here today looking for trouble, but they might end up dead.

No wonder Shen Rushuang remained unyielding all along; could she really have found a more powerful expert?

Shen Rushuang felt perplexed, not knowing what trick Su Changfeng was pulling, but she knew she couldn’t expose him at this moment.

"There is indeed such a matter," Shen Rushuang said.

"If you don’t believe it, why not come with me to have a look?" Su Changfeng suggested.

The fourth-rank expert exchanged a glance with the two family heads, feeling somewhat doubtful. While they thought the matter unlikely, what if it were true? Seeing for themselves wouldn’t hurt.

If the Shen Family truly found such a master, their plan would have to be reconsidered.

"In that case, let’s go and see."

The fourth-rank expert nodded, looking at Su Changfeng and said, "Please lead the way."

"This way, please," Su Changfeng said with a smile, and as he left, he winked at Shen Rushuang.

Shen Rushuang clearly didn’t understand his intention, nor what he planned to do.

After they left, the expressions of the two family heads became uncomfortable. If things were just as Su Changfeng claimed, their plans would be completely ruined. To threaten the Shen Family, they’d have to rethink their strategy.

Su Changfeng led the fourth-rank expert to the backyard, where there were hardly any people. Arriving at a certain spot, he suddenly stopped, prompting the fourth-rank expert to immediately ask, "Where exactly did you mean earlier?"

"Master, I have a question I want to ask," Su Changfeng replied without answering directly.

"What question?" the fourth-rank expert looked at him curiously.

"If we were to have a match, how many of my moves could you withstand?" Su Changfeng said, curling his lips slightly.

The fourth-rank expert was taken aback, then looked at Su Changfeng with a mocking gaze. This trash dared to spout such boastful words, it was utterly ridiculous!

"Kid, do you want to die? Even though this is the Shen Family, if I wanted to kill you, it would be effortless!" the fourth-rank expert said disdainfully.

Su Changfeng wasted no words and directly made his move.

"To be the first person I kill here is your fortune," he said, as his fist smashed forward.

With a "bang," a dull sound echoed as the solid fist struck the opponent’s chest.

The fourth-rank expert’s eyes widened, feeling his heart being shattered, as if his internal organs were severely impacted.

Soon, blood dripped from his nose, eyes, and mouth, looking terrifyingly gruesome. He lost to Su Changfeng in just one move, with no time to react.

"I..."

Su Changfeng sighed and said, "If I’m not mistaken, your strength is about on par with Tuo Shi Earth-level members, maybe slightly higher. Thank you, I’ve finally gained some understanding of the level divisions here."
