While we're at it, let's take Sean to exchange for Yan Bingyun.
Sean was imprisoned in the prison of the Supervisory Council, and Chen Qingfeng also wanted to meet this Northern Qi devil before setting off.
Soon, Chen Qingfeng arrived at the Surveillance Bureau.
In that elegant courtyard, Chen Pingping was watering and fertilizing the flowers and plants as usual.
He has been taking care of these flowers and plants for more than ten years.
It was planted by Ye Qingmei herself back then.
"Father."
Chen Qingfeng went straight up.
"Feng'er is here."
Chen Pingping put down the kettle in her hand, turned around and smiled at Chen Qingfeng with a loving expression.
"Your mission to Northern Qi is imminent, why don't you stay home and spend more time with your two ladies?"
Before Chen Qingfeng could speak again, Chen Pingping asked first.
"It's not like we're not coming back. It's just Northern Qi; we'll be back soon."
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly.
Chen Pingping didn't pay much attention to what Chen Qingfeng said.
He knew this very well, though others might not.
With the strength of a martial arts grandmaster, Chen Qingfeng could escort Xiao En back to Northern Qi without any mishaps.
After a brief silence, Chen Pingping suddenly thought of something and said:
"Feng'er, your godfather has nothing to worry about regarding your strength."
"But have you considered that this trip to Northern Qi might also be a test from His Majesty?"
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and said:
"Let's test them then!"
"He will find out sooner or later."
“Last night at the wedding banquet, His Majesty suddenly asked about the Empress’s abduction, which suggests that he already had some suspicions about me.”
Chen Pingping neither confirmed nor denied what Chen Qingfeng said, and nodded slightly.
"Our Emperor is as deep and unfathomable as an abyss."
"No one can guess what he's thinking."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng said calmly:
"Godfather, any schemes and tricks will appear pale and powerless in the face of absolute strength."
Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping was taken aback, her eyes filled with deep shock as she looked at Chen Qingfeng.
After the tragedy at Taiping Villa, his original intention was to raise Chen Qingfeng well and ensure his peaceful life.
Who would have thought that as Chen Qingfeng gradually revealed his true self, even he was shocked.
Not only is he born with superhuman strength, but he also possesses extraordinary comprehension and talent in martial arts, is exceptionally intelligent, and has a wealth of wisdom.
Chen Pingping really couldn't understand it.
All these years, Chen Qingfeng has been right under his nose.
I've never seen Chen Qingfeng study hard or anything like that on a regular basis.
How did he become so incredibly talented?
"Hmm~?"
Seeing Chen Pingping's stunned expression, Chen Qingfeng frowned slightly and softly called out:
"Godfather, are you okay?"
Chen Pingping regained his composure and smiled, saying:
"I'm fine, I'm just relieved."
"By the way, Feng'er, what brings you here so early?"
Chen Qingfeng didn't hide anything and responded:
"Isn't he going on a mission to Northern Qi in a few days?"
"I just wanted to come and see Sean."
"Isn't this person being held in the prison of the Supervisory Council?"
Chen Pingping said with a smile:
"It's in the dungeon of the Overwatch Council. I'll take you there!"
Then, Chen Pingping led Chen Qingfeng toward the dungeon of the Surveillance Bureau.
"Feng'er, Sean is a real devil!"
"You must be careful in everything you do when you escort him back to Northern Qi."
Chen Pingping reminded her.
"Don't worry, Godfather!"
"I know what to do."
Chen Qingfeng replied with a smile.
He was no stranger to Sean.
This Xiao En was originally the chief of the Northern Wei secret service, commanding countless iron cavalry who roamed the world.
He extensively planted spies in various countries, was adept at understanding people's thoughts, and was skilled at using treacherous schemes.
He overthrew many small royal families, and the number of people who died directly or indirectly at his hands was probably enough to form a mountain of bones.
What's most terrifying is that Sean also possesses an extremely sharp mind and cunning methods, having evaded countless assassination attempts from enemy countries.
At that time, the King of Wei's most trusted civil official was Zhuang Mohan, and his most trusted military official was Zhan Qingfeng.
But for the King of Wei, Xiao En was the pillar of the state.
Although Sean was formidable, he was eventually captured by Chen Pingping.
At that time, Sean had secretly returned to his hometown to attend a wedding, but was captured by Chen Pingping and his men in a surprise attack from a thousand miles away.
However, Chen Pingping's legs were crippled in the battle.
Chen Qingfeng suggested meeting Sean at this time simply because he wanted to see if he could trigger the system's reward mechanism.
Before long, Chen Pingping led Chen Qingfeng to the iron cell where Xiao En was being held.
The heavy iron gate slowly opened.
The engine, which has been regularly oiled and maintained, did not make any creaking or rattling sounds.
The silent pressure made the members of the Overwatch Council standing guard outside the door begin to feel nervous.
Soon, an aged face came into Chen Qingfeng's view.
The man had a head full of messy, graying hair, and looked disheveled.
His wrists and feet were bound with shackles made of high-quality steel.
It was Sean who was being held here.
As the cell door opened, Sean glanced at it with his cold eyes and sighed involuntarily:
"This aura... I haven't felt it in so long!"
……
As he spoke, Sean's gaze darkened, and he looked coldly at Chen Pingping.
"Ok?"
Upon seeing Chen Pingping standing in front of him, Sean's expression changed drastically.
"Chen Pingping, you...you've stood up?"
Chen Pingping smiled slightly and said:
"They've stood up."
Then Chen Pingping paced back and forth in front of Sean a few times.
Sean was shocked to see this.
Although he was captured by Chen Pingping and imprisoned in this dungeon for decades.
But he was also very pleased with himself, after all, he had ruined Chen Pingping's legs.
But now, Chen Pingping actually stood up and walked around in front of him, which Sean found hard to accept.
"No...this is impossible!"
"I've clearly crippled both your legs, how could you possibly still be able to stand up?"
"Ah!"
Sean roared, his white hair flying backward like swords. In his rage, he took two steps forward, causing the chains to tremble violently.
Chen Pingping remained calm in the face of Sean's anger, and smiled as he said:
"Sean, I was able to stand up thanks to my godson's miraculous healing."
"correct!"
“In a few days, he will be in charge of escorting you back to Northern Qi.”
As she spoke, Chen Pingping glanced at Chen Qingfeng, who was standing beside her.
Upon hearing what Chen Pingping said, Sean regained his composure and turned to look at Chen Qingfeng.
"Chen Pingping, are you really going to let me return to Northern Qi? Or will you, my adopted son, escort me?"
