His loud roar startled the four of them. This guy was actually the son-in-law of one of them? Who was he?
The four of them looked at each other blankly, and when they realized they didn't recognize each other, their faces were instantly filled with anger, and they were all murderous.

The guards in the distance seemed to have noticed something strange here and quickly rushed over.

Meng Chen stared at Cui Dongsheng, which made his back cold and frowned: "Boy! Who are you? How dare you pretend to be our son-in-law? You are looking for death!"

He felt uneasy because the young man in front of him kept staring at him after he finished speaking, as if he was his son-in-law.

Meng Chen was calm and composed, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, your daughter Cui Xuanyu and I have become Taoist companions in Xuntian Secret Realm. After we came out, for various reasons, I was unable to visit you the first time. It is my fault. Please forgive me, father-in-law!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Cui Dongsheng in surprise. People had already mentioned the name, so it all depended on what Cui Dongsheng would say.

Cui Dongsheng's face was filled with disbelief, his eyes were dazed, and he muttered to himself: "You... can't be!"

As he spoke, his expression became more complicated. The other three also realized that this was probably true, but Cui Dongsheng seemed unable to accept it.

After the atmosphere eased, Meng Chen said with a smile: "Father-in-law, things have already happened, you should think more positively. I will honor you with Xuan Yu in the future."

"Which family are you from?" he asked, his tone unfriendly but still calm.

Meng Chen said carelessly: "My name is Meng Chen, I am just a casual cultivator."

Cui Dongsheng's face suddenly turned red and his nose became crooked with anger. In fact, Cui Xuanyu confessed everything to him after returning home, saying that he had secretly married someone in the Xuntian Secret Realm and wanted to cancel the marriage with the Zheng family.

After he knew that all the Zheng family members who entered the Sky-Xun Secret Realm had died, he also considered dissolving the marriage alliance. After communicating with the Zheng family, he succeeded.

But he never expected that the free and easy man his precious daughter mentioned was actually the son of a casual cultivator with no power or influence, and seemed to have nothing except his looks.

This is fucking freedom!
Meng Chen saw him pointing at him, his fingers trembling so much that he couldn't speak, and he understood.

My situation is similar to that of a domineering female CEO marrying a yellow-haired man. It is very kind of my cheap father-in-law not to chop me with a knife now.

Meng Chen didn't blame him, but it was not convenient for him to reveal his identity at the moment. The impression he left on his father-in-law could only rot and stink like this.

"Father-in-law! Please don't be angry. If you get angry, no one can help you. Actually, I still have many shining points. For example, I am handsome, I know to eat when I am hungry, and I know to use my true energy to resist when it rains. How great!"

Cui Dongsheng rolled his eyes and fainted from anger. The other three families remained silent. They saw that the conversation between Cui Dongsheng and Meng Chen had confirmed Meng Chen's identity. There was at least a 99% chance that he was Cui family's son-in-law.

However, seeing Cui Dongsheng's miserable scene, they still felt a little gloating.

Apart from his beard, he glared at Meng Chen with great hostility towards him.

Meng Chen's gaze did not linger on them for too long. After proving his identity, the guards were no longer hostile. Slowly, he successfully approached Cui Dongsheng.

A guard was injecting true energy into his body. After a while, Cui Dongsheng woke up. He opened his eyes weakly and saw Meng Chen's approaching face. He angrily reached out to hit Meng Chen, but the latter quickly stepped back to avoid his attack.

Cui Dongsheng pointed at Meng Chen with trembling fingers again, then he couldn't breathe and fainted again.

Meng Chen was a little embarrassed. He couldn't accept that his father-in-law fainted once. His psychological endurance was too weak. "Forget it, since my father-in-law doesn't want to see me for the time being, I'll leave. Goodbye, everyone!"

Meng Chen left in front of everyone, swaggering away, and no one tried to stop him.

Cui Dongsheng woke up again. He looked around blankly. He didn't see Meng Chen. His expression suddenly changed: "No, where is Meng Chen? Where is Meng Chen?"

The attendant beside him said quickly: "Master, we have asked him to leave because we are worried that he will upset you."

"What!" Cui Dongsheng exclaimed, "How could you let him leave? Don't you know that guy is very close to the royal family?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly became nervous. It was bad enough that they lost the opportunity to suppress the enemy when entering the city, but now even their purpose was completely exposed. How many stupid things were they going to do this time in the imperial capital!
Cui Dongsheng was still cursing and picking on the three people. The Zheng family's patriarch, the bearded man, shouted angrily, "Enough! If he wasn't the son-in-law of your Cui family, how could he have escaped? You can only blame you, and your daughter!"

The people from the Wang family and the Li family also nodded in agreement.

Cui Dongsheng was speechless. Although the three of them did something stupid, it was all because of him. "Humph! Forget it, forget it! Anyway, the little emperor has to hand it over this time, whether he wants to or not! Let's go back to the city!"

They went back, and the first thing they did was to inquire about Meng Chen's situation.

However, no one in the entire imperial city knew Meng Chen. It was as if he had never appeared. The same was true for the officials in the court. No one knew Meng Chen.

They searched for several days but found nothing. However, they did learn something that made them happy: the guy did not seem to have told the little emperor about their conspiracy.

In this way, they can conduct the negotiations with peace of mind. They have already submitted the petition to enter the palace, and the next step is to wait for the little emperor to summon them.

In the inn, Meng Chen woke up from a nap, raised his hands above his head and stretched.

"Comfortable!"

He looked at the sky outside. It was clear. He didn't know how the fight between the four great families and the royal family was going.

However, only the top leaders of the Immortal Dynasty could know this information, and Meng Chen heard nothing at all.

As usual, he inquired about the news downstairs, and finally got a useful piece of information in the evening, saying that the four great families would come to the court tomorrow.

In the palace, Huang Wujin was playing with the half jade pendant in his hand, his face was a little gloomy, and there was a gloomy murderous aura between his brows.

"Your Majesty, we have found some clues. The other end of the space crack opens in the imperial capital, which means Meng Chen has not left the imperial capital."

Huang Wujin said indifferently: "I know these things. Tell me something I don't know, such as the affairs of the four great families."

Yun Ying stared at him and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the heads of the four great families went out today and seemed to have discussed something. They were very cautious and checked the surrounding environment first, so they were unable to obtain reliable intelligence."
