Chen Qingfeng then made no attempt to hide anything.
This was a brief account of how Zhan Doudou conspired with the Empress Dowager to deceive the officials of the Northern Qi court.
After hearing what Chen Qingfeng said, Fan Xian was completely stunned, his head buzzing.
"this?"
"Is she really a woman?"
"Have you been hiding it by dressing as a woman all along?"
"His discord with the Empress Dowager was also a pretense!"
Fan Xian was completely taken aback, stunned by the revelation Chen Qingfeng had made.
It took him a long time to snap out of his daze, and he looked at Chen Qingfeng with a mixture of belief and doubt, saying:
"Brother-in-law."
"You...you're not making this up to fool me, are you?"
Chen Qingfeng rolled his eyes at Fan Xian with disdain.
"Do you think that's possible?"
"What good would it do me to make up a story like this to deceive you?"
Fan Xian frowned.
Thinking about it, Chen Qingfeng's words made sense; he had no reason to lie to himself about such a thing.
Moreover, if Zhan Doudou is indeed a girl, many things can be explained.
Rumors circulate that she has a penchant for male beauty.
The main reason is that Zhan Doudou has been in power for some time, but has not taken any concubines.
If Zhan Doudou is a woman, her identity would be easily exposed if she were to become a concubine.
"If that's really the case."
"Then it all makes sense."
"No wonder she was so affectionate with me, her brother, at yesterday's banquet; her eyes were practically drooling over me!"
"It was a woman!"
After thinking about it for a moment, Fan Xian turned his gaze and fixed it on Chen Qingfeng.
She felt that her older brother was really a womanizer, even the young emperor of Northern Qi was infatuated with him.
After a moment of contemplation, Fan Xian snapped out of his reverie.
"Brother-in-law, you've been having affairs everywhere in Northern Qi. When we get back, I'll tell Ruoruo all about it!"
Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, Chen Qingfeng was speechless.
Earlier, on the way to Northern Qi, Fan Xian saw that he had hidden Si Lili in the delegation and was heading north, so he vaguely suspected something.
However, she later told Chen Qingfeng that she would not tell him about Si Lili.
Now that Fan Xian has suddenly said this, Chen Qingfeng feels that Fan Xian is going back on his word.
"It seems I really need to keep my younger brother in check!"
Thinking of this, Chen Qingfeng suddenly reached out and patted Fan Xian on the shoulder.
An invisible, terrifying aura instantly enveloped Fan Xian.
"Ok?"
Upon sensing this, Fan Xian involuntarily shivered, feeling as if the surrounding temperature had plummeted at that moment.
"what's the situation?"
"Why do I feel a chill down my spine?"
Fan Xian looked surprised.
Before he could react, Chen Qingfeng spoke:
"Master Xiao Fan."
"What did you just say? You said you were going to go back and tell Ruoruo on me?"
Chen Qingfeng spoke these words with extreme calmness.
But to Fan Xian's ears, it sounded like a thunderclap.
"Gulu!"
He swallowed hard, a sudden surge of fear and unease rising from the depths of his heart.
"I...I was just joking."
"I already said I wouldn't tell Ruoruo certain things!"
"Brother-in-law, don't be so nervous!"
Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said:
"It seems like you're the one who's nervous, right?"
Fan Xian was taken aback, his face full of embarrassment.
What puzzled him was that every time Chen Qingfeng patted his shoulder, he could feel a terrifying suppression of his bloodline.
Under that kind of pressure, he seemed unable to muster the slightest resistance against Chen Qingfeng.
"Is it... because he is a Grandmaster?"
Fan Xian muttered to himself.
He attributed his being suppressed by Chen Qingfeng to Chen Qingfeng being a Grandmaster.
Just as Fan Xian was stunned, Chen Qingfeng let go of his hand.
The next moment, Fan Xian felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
"Let's go!"
"Come with me."
Chen Qingfeng smiled and looked at Fan Xian.
"Where?"
Fan Xian looked on with curiosity.
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and said meaningfully:
"Come with me to practice swordsmanship!"
Having said that, Chen Qingfeng didn't wait for Fan Xian's reply and took the lead in walking out.
Fan Xian stood there stunned, completely bewildered, wondering if such a large courtyard wasn't enough for Chen Qingfeng to practice his swordsmanship.
After a slight hesitation, he didn't think much of it and quickly followed Chen Qingfeng's steps.
..........
Soon, Chen Qingfeng led Fan Xian out of the western city and arrived at the outskirts of the capital.
"Brother-in-law."
"Are you practicing swordsmanship or what?"
"You're not thinking of killing me to cover it up, are you?"
"I was just saying it casually earlier. I definitely won't tell you when we get back."
Fan Xian looked completely bewildered.
I don't understand what Chen Qingfeng is trying to do.
Chen Qingfeng didn't pay much attention to Fan Xian. He slung the Dragon Slayer Sword over his waist and finally arrived at a desolate place.
Fan Xian yawned.
"I said……"
Just as he was about to say something, Chen Qingfeng's Dragon-Slaying Sword suddenly came out of its sheath.
"Zheng!"
A sword's cry rang out, and a gust of wind arose.
At this moment, Chen Qingfeng, dressed in white, stood on the wilderness, the Dragon-Slaying Sword held horizontally in his hand, a chilling aura spreading across the land.
"Ok?"
Seeing this, Fan Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking that Chen Qingfeng really did come here to practice his sword, he was a little nervous just now.
They all thought that if Chen Qingfeng really killed someone to silence them, he would probably have no choice but to reveal that he was his brother.
"Why come to the outskirts of town to practice swordsmanship? Isn't this just making a fuss over nothing?"
Fan Xian muttered to himself, crossed his arms, and leaned lazily against a large tree.
Chen Qingfeng paid no attention to Fan Xian, who was standing to the side.
He had previously received the sword technique "One Sword Makes Immortals Kneel" as a reward from signing in with Shen Wan'er. With his extraordinary comprehension, he directly mastered this sword technique.
That's why I brought the cashback to this outskirts to test my sword skills.
After all, with his current strength, coupled with a sword technique like "One Sword Immortal Kneels," the power he could unleash would be extraordinary.
If this were used within the capital city, who knows how much damage it would cause.
"Rumble..."
As Chen Qingfeng closed his eyes, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly emanated from his body, causing his white robe to flutter even without wind!
"Ok?"
Fan Xian initially seemed somewhat dismissive of this.
