Ku He smiled slightly, then pressed on with another question:
"So, who do you think is stronger, me or Chen Qingfeng?"
"This……"
Wolf Peach was stunned, at a loss for words when asked by Bitter Lotus.
Logically speaking, as Ku He's chief disciple, he should have held his teacher in the highest regard.
However, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Lang Tao had challenged Chen Qingfeng.
With a simple, casual palm strike, Chen Qingfeng slapped him to the ground.
Even now, recalling that level of strength still makes Lang Tao tremble.
Seeing Lang Tao's hesitant expression, Ku He smiled calmly.
I had learned from Lang Tao earlier that he had been subdued by Chen Qingfeng with a single palm strike.
She knew in her heart that Chen Qingfeng's palm strike had greatly shocked Lang Tao.
Then, Ku He didn't say anything more and fell into deep thought.
Ku He also knew quite a bit about Chen Qingfeng.
They knew that he was Chen Pingping's adopted son.
They also learned that Chen Qingfeng was Ye Qingmei's son.
"Her child is indeed exceptionally outstanding!"
Ku He sighed inwardly, and the image of Ye Qingmei involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Looking back, he and Sean led a group to search for the temple.
After overcoming numerous hardships, they finally arrived at the temple, and it was at that moment that Ye Qingmei emerged from the temple.
Her graceful figure, dressed in white, with flowing black hair, resembled a fairy descending to earth.
On the spot, Ku He couldn't help but bow down and worship Ye Qingmei.
He had never met anyone like Ye Qingmei.
Standing right in front of me, yet it felt as if I had merged with heaven and earth, transcending the mortal world.
In their subsequent interactions, Ye Qingmei taught Ku Hetian a cultivation technique.
It was precisely because of the cultivation technique given to him by Ye Qingmei that he was able to achieve this.
Ku He had just established the Heavenly Dao Sect, glimpsed the true essence of martial arts, and become a grandmaster of his time.
Just as Ku He was lost in reminiscence, Lang Tao, who was standing beside her, frowned slightly and called out in a low voice, "...Teacher?"
Upon hearing this, Ku He snapped out of his reverie and smiled calmly:
"Wolf peach".
"Since Chen Qingfeng has challenged me to a duel, I will take him as my teacher."
"If I, the Grand Preceptor of Northern Qi, do not take action, I will inevitably disappoint people."
"Then let the news spread that tomorrow the Northern Qi will conquer Tianque, and I will fight them!"
Upon hearing what Ku He said, Lang Tao was overjoyed and immediately bowed in response:
"is teacher!"
Seeing Lang Tao's excited expression, Ku He smiled slightly and said:
"You seem to really want to see me fight Chen Qingfeng?"
Wolf Peach paused for a moment, then quickly pursed her lips and said:
"Teacher, it's not just me; countless citizens of Northern Qi also hope that you will appear and fight him!"
"Let the might of our Northern Qi be proclaimed!"
Ku He remained calm and waved to Lang Tao, signaling him to step back.
Wolf Peach bowed to Bitter Lotus Ginseng, then left in a hurry without lingering.
After being defeated by Chen Qingfeng with a single palm strike at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, he thought that Ku He could fight Chen Qingfeng.
Now, this matter has finally been brought to fruition.
Witnessing two grandmasters clash firsthand would be incredibly beneficial.
In addition, wolf peaches are also known.
With his teacher Ku He taking up the challenge, the Northern Qi will be thrown into turmoil.
"I wonder if the teacher ever got Chen Qingfeng?"
Suddenly, a question arose in Lang Tao's (Zhao Hao's) mind.
Although he had fought against Chen Qingfeng.
But Chen Qingfeng defeated him with a single, casual palm strike.
No one knows Chen Qingfeng's true strength.
Meanwhile, his teacher, Ku He, had devoted himself to studying the Heavenly Dao for many years, and his strength was equally unfathomable.
"I hope the teacher can win!"
As he pondered this, Wolf Peach uttered this remark.
As a native of Northern Qi, he naturally hoped that Ku He would win, not to mention that Ku He was his teacher.
At the same time, Wolf Peach also knows.
For Kuhe, this competition is one where he must win and not lose!
After all, Ku He embodied the faith of countless people in Northern Qi.
If they were to lose to Chen Qingfeng, it would cause the faith of the Northern Qi to collapse!
Before long, the wolf peach had left, leaving only bitter lotus in the deep valley.
He stood quietly at the edge of the cliff.
He knew in his heart that he had no choice but to win this battle against Chen Qingfeng!
Otherwise, the Northern Qi would have suffered a great upheaval.
"Her child is indeed very outstanding."
"I also want to see just how monstrous he is?"
Ku He murmured to himself, quite looking forward to his battle with Chen Qingfeng.
Of course, Kuhe was still very confident in himself.
After all, he has devoted himself to studying the Heavenly Dao for so many years, and his strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.
……
Meanwhile, in the western part of the capital city, at the royal villa.
After bidding farewell to Fan Xian, Chen Qingfeng returned to his room and practiced some more.
"Unbeknownst to me, I have been in Northern Qi for quite some time now."
"I wonder how Wan'er and Ruoruo are doing?"
Thinking of Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo, Chen Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a surge of longing.
"Also, has Mother woken up yet?"
"We haven't heard anything from Sang Wen yet. He should still be recovering, right?"
"It seems we need to deal with things in Northern Qi as soon as possible!"
.......
Chapter 132: Emperor Qing is shocked, Chen Qingfeng reveals his hand! Grandmaster realm! Southern Qing is shaken!
Nanqing.
Kyoto, Inspectorate.
Chen Pingping was watering the flowers and plants in the yard.
He cherishes these flowers and plants.
For over a decade, it has been carefully cared for.
These flowers and plants were planted by Ye Qingmei herself back then.
In the past, Chen Pingping could only fertilize and water these flowers and plants while sitting in a wheelchair, which was quite inconvenient.
Even so, he insisted on doing it himself and not letting anyone else handle it.
Now that Chen Qingfeng has healed his feet, things are much easier for him.
"Judging by the time, there should be new news coming back from Northern Qi by now."
Chen Pingping murmured to herself and then poured a ladle of water on a peony plant.
Because Kyoto and Kamigyo were thousands of miles apart, it took a long time for news to travel between them.
The latest news he received was that Chen Qingfeng's delegation from the Southern Qing Dynasty was blocked by Northern Qi warriors when they entered the capital.
Chen Qingfeng defeated the ninth-rank swordsman He Daoren with a single sword strike.
Chen Pingping was unaware of what happened next.
Just then, hurried footsteps approached.
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw the shadow approaching hurriedly.
As they approached, the shadow bowed deeply to Chen Pingping.
"Dean, the mission has sent back new information."
"This time, young master is likely to stir up a great storm in Northern Qi."
