The Crazy Son-In-Law

A long time ago.

Xiao Shun had heard his master mention the situation of the sorcery experts in the mountains.

The Meadowfolk presented a united front to outsiders, but internally, they were divided and constantly at odds with each other.

The Old School Society once considered incorporating the Meadowfolk, but the plan was ultimately abandoned.

It wasn’t that the Old School Society feared the sorcery experts, but managing the Meadowfolk wasn’t worth the trouble. If they spent a lot of resources recruiting a group of infighting people, it would be hard to manage. A single misstep could lead to internal conflicts that might even burn down their own base.

Therefore, there was no need for it!

Under such circumstances, Miao Ruohu’s threat just now was clearly impossible. He could only represent the Silvermeadows clan and not speak for the other two Meadowfolk factions. Moreover, if Silvermeadows rushed to support the Old School Society, their own base might be taken over by their two brothers.

Who would take such a risk?

Miao Ruohu hadn’t expected Xiao Shun to be so knowledgeable about the internal dynamics of the Meadowfolk. For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond. His face stiffened, looking extremely unpleasant.

Damn it, this bastard knows so much about the Meadowfolk’s situation. This trip to Heaverpool is definitely a prelude to New School Society’s expansion into Heaverpool. I must report this to my father and let him decide!

Thinking this, Miao Ruohu was convinced that Xiao Shun’s intentions were hostile. Seeing him looking at him with flickering eyes, Xiao Shun thought he was plotting revenge. Given his current strength, he wasn’t afraid of any petty schemes and didn’t pay much attention. He turned and walked towards Xiang Shang and others.

As he approached, Xiao Shun looked at his three rebellious senior brothers and extended a hand with a smile. “Can I borrow a car?”

Faced with his overwhelming presence, the younger men dared not refuse and immediately took out car keys from their pockets and threw them to Xiao Shun.

As for “the Germ,” they didn’t mention it at all.

Xiao Shun knew they had recognized his identity and were behaving so submissively because of it. Miao Ruohu had been cunning during their fight by not calling out his name until he was furious, hoping to unite these men against him. If Miao Ruohu hadn’t shouted his name in anger, these guys might still be fighting him now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shun shook his head with a bitter smile. Then he jingled the keys in his hand and walked towards Song Linger.

Soon after, a Mercedes in the parking lot lit up its headlights and slowly drove into the night.

“What do we do now?” The older man asked, supporting his injured senior brother.

After some thought, the younger man shook his head. “With our strength, we can’t possibly take ‘the Germ’ from Xiao Shun. Only our senior brother or master could succeed!”

Having been punched by Xiao Shun earlier, he was still terrified of his opponent’s strength. He understood that even with their determination to die trying, they couldn’t handle someone of that level.

Hearing this, the older man said dejectedly, “Our master and senior brother are in Ashford; how could they intervene in Stillwater? Besides, ‘the Germ’ is crucial for our senior brother’s breakthrough. If we fail…”

Waving his hand dismissively, the younger man smiled confidently. “Don’t worry. I guess Xiao Shun is also preparing for a breakthrough and can’t gather enough Spirit Stones soon. We’ll have another chance!”

The older man sighed. “Who knows when that will be?”

“Have you forgotten what ‘Three Masters’ said before?”

“What did they say?”

“Your memory is getting worse! They swore that Xiao Shun would attend the upcoming ‘Martial Arts Conference’!”

Hearing this, both the older man and Xiang Shang’s eyes lit up.

Seeing this reaction, the younger man smiled slightly. “If he goes to Ashford for the conference, our master will handle ‘the Germ,’ so we don’t have to worry!”

With that said, they drove back to their hotel and decided to return to Ashford early tomorrow to report tonight’s events.

At the same time, Miao Ruohu returned to his residence with a group of followers.

Every time Sundown Bazaar was held, the organizers provided food and lodging for the Meadowfolk at the venue so they wouldn’t have to find places to stay.

Although it was late at night, none of the Silvermeadows clan members were asleep; they were all gathered in a lounge room, worriedly looking at Miao Ruohu.

An elderly man in white robes stood up and walked over to Miao Ruohu. “Young Master, if we can’t get ‘Mandrake,’ we can’t go back empty-handed. What should we do now?”

Miao Ruohu’s face was pale-whether from anger or sorcery backlash was unclear-but he looked awful.

After a long pause, he angrily pounded on the armrest of his chair and said coldly,

“I suspect Xiao Shun is preparing New School Society to dominate Meadowfolk. So it’s not about ‘Mandrake’ anymore; we need to report this news back home immediately!”

Everyone gasped upon hearing this.

“Who does Xiao Shun think he is? Even when Old School Society was at its peak, they treated us Meadowfolk with respect and never dared invade our territory! Now New School Society dares act so arrogantly?”

“Hmph! Where does that bastard get off thinking he can meddle with us?”

“Young Master, given how serious this is, we should leave tomorrow and report back so our clan leader can decide what to do!”

“Indeed! But we should also send two people to follow Xiao Shun and see what he’s planning next.”

…

Looking around at his indignant clansmen, Miao Ruohu nodded in agreement with their suggestions.

He then took out a small black bug from his pocket and smirked at everyone.

“Xiao Shun fought me earlier and still has traces of my sorcery poison on him. Using this ‘Tracking Bug,’ we can find where he’s staying without getting too close and risking detection.”

“Heh! No matter how powerful Xiao Shun is, he underestimates our sorcery skills. If he’s here for us Meadowfolk as suspected, his next move will likely be entering the mountains…”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

In the lounge room, everyone couldn’t hide their excitement!
