"Over the years, everyone has been fooled by his appearance."
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing smiled meaningfully.
"Anyway."
"They are, after all, my sons."
"Let's wait until they return and find a suitable opportunity for them to recognize each other!"
……
At this juncture.
The Northern Qi Dynasty went to the capital.
The birthday banquet was still ongoing inside the palace.
Shen Wan'er sat beside Chen Qingfeng the whole time, her adoring gaze impossible to hide.
Every now and then, she would pour wine and serve food to Chen Qingfeng.
She clearly didn't consider herself a young lady of the Shen family.
This scene was naturally witnessed by many Northern Qi court officials present.
Even the young emperor Zhan Doudou, sitting on the imperial platform, was no exception.
"Is Shen Zhong's younger sister so obsequious and attentive to him?"
"Could this little girl... have a crush on him?"
Thinking of this, Zhan Doudou felt a tremor in her heart.
For some reason, I suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
Haitang Duoduo sat on the other side of Chen Qingfeng and found it strange to see Shen Wan'er being unusually enthusiastic towards Chen Qingfeng.
"Chen Qingfeng really knows how to charm little girls!"
"If Shen Zhong saw his sister like this, he'd probably be so angry he'd vomit blood on the spot."
Thinking about it, Haitang Duoduo picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Fan Xian shook his head and sighed helplessly, thinking to himself:
“My older brother was already a womanizer back in Kyoto.”
"I didn't expect to be so popular after coming to Northern Qi."
"But... is this how he treats Ruoruo?"
After thinking for a moment, Fan Xian frowned slightly, considering that he should find an opportunity to remind Chen Qingfeng.
After all, it is located in Chen Garden on the banks of the Ryūkyō River in Kyoto.
Two beautiful women, Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er, were also waiting for Chen Qingfeng.
If Chen Qingfeng were to indulge in pleasure outside, wouldn't that be a betrayal?
Just then, Shen Wan'er, her face flushed, suddenly leaned close to Chen Qingfeng's ear and whispered softly:
"Son."
"After the banquet, may I... may I have a private meeting with you, young master?"

Chen Qingfeng was slightly surprised and asked in confusion:
"Is there anything else, Miss Shen?"
Shen Wan'er lowered her head shyly and replied:
“I…I have a gift I would like to give to you, young master.”
Chen Qingfeng paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
I'd like to see that too.
What exactly is Shen Wan'er up to?
Just then, Lang Tao suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass, and walked towards Chen Qingfeng.
As he approached, he raised his glass and said:
"Master Chen."
"I'll toast you."
Lang Tao was completely convinced of Chen Qingfeng's abilities.
In their previous exchange, Chen Qingfeng had knocked him to the ground with just one palm strike.
Wolf Peach was ashamed of his own strength.
In addition, Chen Qingfeng also gave him healing pills, and after taking them, his injuries had healed.
Seeing this, Shen Wan'er quickly poured Chen Qingfeng a glass of wine, showing great consideration.
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly, picked up his wine glass, and drank a glass with Lang Tao.
After drinking, Lang Tao suddenly asked Chen Qingfeng:
"Master Chen."
"May I ask a question?"
"I wonder if Lord Zhongzhuan has already reached the level of a Grandmaster in martial arts?"
Upon hearing Lang Tao's question, the once noisy hall fell silent.
All eyes fell on Chen Qingfeng.
Before this, Chen Qingfeng had defeated three ninth-rank masters: Uesugi Tiger, Haitang Duoduo, and He Daoren.
Just now, he had a sparring match with Lang Tao, the chief disciple of Ku He, in the main hall, and he overpowered Lang Tao with a single palm strike.
Such a record.
It's hard not to make people guess.
Has Chen Qingfeng's martial arts skill reached the level of a grandmaster?
But everyone only had suspicions and no one asked.
Now that Lang Tao has spoken, it has naturally aroused the curiosity of everyone in the hall.
After hearing Lang Tao's question, Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly, didn't hide anything, and nodded, saying:
"I only managed to break through to the Grandmaster level by sheer luck."
Chen Qingfeng spoke calmly as he said this.
But to the ears of everyone present, it resounded like thunder.
"this?"
"I...I didn't hear wrong, did I?"
"Chen Qingfeng is actually a Grandmaster?"
"Gosh!"
"how is this possible?"
"The world is no longer ruled by the Four Grandmasters!"
"I knew it! How could he defeat a ninth-rank expert so easily? Turns out he's a Grandmaster!"
(bfae) "..."
Immediately, the hall was filled with discussion.
Whether they were officials from the Northern Qi court or members of the Southern Qing delegation, they were all stunned by Chen Qingfeng's performance.
You should know that there are only four Grandmasters in the entire world.
Ku He, the guardian deity of Northern Qi; Si Gu Jian of Dongyi City; Ye Liuyun, the master of Liuyun Sanshou; and Hong Sixiang of the Southern Qing Imperial Palace.
Each of these figures was an extremely remarkable being, even surpassing the imperial court.
But now, Chen Qingfeng is actually a Grandmaster, which is truly astonishing.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Zhan Doudou, who were sitting on the imperial platform, suddenly changed their expressions.
"He truly is a Grandmaster!"
"How did he manage to become a Grandmaster at such a young age?"
"How could such a prodigy emerge from Nanqing?"
The Empress Dowager was terrified, and her breathing became much more rapid.
In the Qing Kingdom, there are already two Grandmasters in charge, and now Chen Qingfeng is another one.
The thought alone made the Empress Dowager feel uneasy.
"So he was actually a Grandmaster."
"I knew it, how could he possibly defeat Wolf Peach so easily?"
"It's one thing to have such powerful martial arts skills."
"And in terms of talent, he is also unparalleled in the world."
"And...he's good-looking too."
Zhan Doudou sighed softly, unable to resist glancing at Chen Qingfeng a few more times, her eyes unconsciously filled with admiration.
When Fan Xian heard Chen Qingfeng admit it, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"what?"
"Grandmaster?"
He stared at Chen Qingfeng in disbelief.
When Fan Xian first saw Chen Qingfeng make a move, he had also made this guess in his mind.
