But he quickly rejected it.
After all, advancing to the Grandmaster level is not so simple.
In Fan Xian's opinion, Chen Qingfeng's martial arts strength was only slightly stronger than that of a ninth-rank master, but he had not yet reached the level of a grandmaster.
Who would have thought that I would still miscalculate.
"Me... my older brother is actually a Grandmaster?"
"How did he cultivate to 29?"
The more Fan Xian thought about it, the more incredulous he felt.
He has been cultivating since childhood and has been guided by Wu Zhu, yet he is only at the eighth rank in strength.
Chen Qingfeng, on the other hand, has already achieved the status of a Grandmaster.
Is he even human?
Fan Xian was puzzled, feeling that Chen Qingfeng seemed to have transcended the realm of humanity.
When Haitang Duoduo saw Chen Qingfeng publicly admit that he was a Grandmaster, she couldn't help but frown.
"Admit it?"
She had asked the same question earlier at the Royal Villa.
At that time, Chen Qingfeng did not hide anything and directly revealed the truth that he was a Grandmaster.
Therefore.
Previously, Lang Tao took the initiative to step forward and challenge Chen Qingfeng.
Just then, Haitang Duoduo tried to persuade them to give up on the wolf peach.
To her surprise, Chen Qingfeng revealed his identity as a Grandmaster.
"At this point, you should admit that you are a grandmaster."
What does he want to do?
Haitang Duoduo couldn't understand it.
She felt that Chen Qingfeng was like a mystery to her.
Shen Wan'er was completely stunned when she saw this.
Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were wide open, and her lips were slightly parted, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Young Master Chen...it's actually..."
Her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
I never expected that the gentle and refined young man beside me was actually a Grandmaster!
With just a brief thought, Shen Wan'er felt an even greater admiration for Chen Qingfeng.
At the same time, Lang Tao, who was standing in front of Chen Qingfeng, was also shocked by Chen Qingfeng's reply.
He could sense it when he fought Chen Qingfeng before.
My strength is not even in the same league as Chen Qingfeng's.
Even in the final palm strike, Chen Qingfeng subtly withdrew some of his power.
Otherwise, he would probably have been slapped to death by Chen Qingfeng on the spot.
"No wonder you could defeat me so easily with a single palm strike."
"So... he was actually a Grandmaster."
"Isn't this bullying?"
Wolf Peach felt bitter.
Thinking to himself, if he had known earlier that Chen Qingfeng was a Grandmaster, he would never have dared to challenge him, wouldn't that have been asking for trouble?
"With his strength, perhaps only the teacher could fight him?"
Wolf Peach pondered silently.
I noticed it too.
Chen Qingfeng had no intention of harming Haitang Duoduo.
As she pondered, a resolute glint flashed in Lang Tao's eyes.
He thought that perhaps he should go back to Tianyi Temple.
This matter is of utmost importance and must be reported to Kuhe.
After thinking for a moment, Lang Tao came to her senses and bowed respectfully to Chen Qingfeng.
Whether in literature or martial arts, the principle of respecting the accomplished is upheld.
Since Chen Qingfeng is a Grandmaster, we should still show him the respect due to him.
Then, Lang Tao didn't linger and turned back to his seat.
The birthday banquet then continued.
Strangely enough, the Northern Qi court officials who had previously harbored resentment towards Chen Qingfeng suddenly stepped forward to toast him.
Putting aside everything else, just the fact that Chen Qingfeng is a Grandmaster is enough.
That alone was enough to completely change these people's attitudes toward Chen Qingfeng.
After all, the status of a Grandmaster in this world is transcendent.
It even surpasses the imperial court.
Everyone wants to get closer to such a person.
Chen Qingfeng paid no attention to the sudden enthusiasm of the Northern Qi court officials, and muttered to himself:
"Now everyone knows that I am a Grandmaster."
"I suppose this matter will soon reach the ears of Ku He, the Grand Preceptor of Northern Qi?"
"I just don't know if he will come looking for me?"
Chen Qingfeng had already spoken to Haitang Duoduo about this before.
He kept her by his side to lure Ku He out for a battle.
But Haitang Duoduo said that her teacher, Kuhe, was devoted to the Dao.
Even if she were controlled by Chen Qingfeng, Ku He might not necessarily make a move; she could only blame herself for not being skilled enough.
That's why Chen Qingfeng admitted it when Lang Tao asked him if he was a Grandmaster.
Of course, Chen Qingfeng also wanted to take this opportunity to intimidate the Northern Qi court.
So far, the results seem quite good.
On the imperial platform, the Empress Dowager's expression was somewhat strange as she saw many court officials fawning over Chen Qingfeng.
Now, her fear of Chen Qingfeng had reached an extremely high level.
After all, Chen Qingfeng was a native of the Qing Kingdom, and was the official figure who had been sent as an envoy to the Northern Qi Kingdom.
After a moment's thought, a strange light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
"So what if they are from the Qing Kingdom?"
"If we could find a way to make him fall in love with my Northern Qi..."
An idea suddenly popped into the Empress Dowager's mind.
Before this, she had been worried about Zhan Doudou.
After all, Zhan Doudou is a girl.
If the officials of Northern Qi were to find out, Northern Qi would be thrown into chaos.
It was for this reason that the Empress Dowager and Zhan Doudou came up with the plan to have a child through artificial insemination.
Now that Si Lili has returned to the Northern Qi palace, the matter of taking a concubine can be put on the agenda at any time.
If Zhan Doudou could have a relationship with Chen Qingfeng.
Then everything will be perfect.
Thinking of all this, the Empress Dowager was extremely excited.
Putting aside Chen Qingfeng's identity as a native of Nanqing, he was still extremely satisfied with Chen Qingfeng.
Upon realizing this, the Empress Dowager immediately looked at Zhan Doudou.
Upon closer inspection, they saw Zhan Doudou staring intently at Chen Qingfeng, scrutinizing him.
The Empress Dowager could tell.
Zhan Doudou's eyes were filled with admiration, her gaze as sticky as honey.
Seeing Zhan Doudou's expression, the Empress Dowager smiled helplessly and muttered to herself:
"I was thinking of trying to bring them together."
"Judging from this girl's expression, she's probably already fallen for him!"
Zhan Doudou did not notice the Empress Dowager's strange gaze upon her.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with Chen Qingfeng, and she wanted to engrave every little movement of Chen Qingfeng in her heart.
As she watched, she suddenly stood up, took her wine glass, and walked towards Chen Qingfeng.
The court officials who had been flattering and fawning over Chen Qingfeng quickly and respectfully withdrew when they saw the young emperor approaching.
Before long, Zhan Doudou had approached Chen Qingfeng.
She stared straight at Chen Qingfeng, her eyes sparkling like peach blossoms and spring water.
"Young Master Chen...!"
"I toast to you, Grandmaster!"
Chen Qingfeng stood up and drank a cup with Zhan Doudou.
