Chapter 416

Instead, he asked this question.

As long as Beigong Yun could answer this question honestly.

Qin Feng would be able to deduce the answer to everything from his words.

It must be said that compared to the honest Beigong Yun, Qin Feng was still quite cunning.

Clearly, although Beigong Yun was a bit honest, he was not stupid.

So, after Qin Feng asked this question, Beigong Yun sensed Qin Feng's intention.

But hindered by his own personality and the previous agreement, he still answered honestly.

Just as Qin Feng expected.

Beigong Yun indeed learned about Qin Feng from Beigong Shang.

And Beigong Shang was the black-robed person who had entered the mist with Qin Feng and the others earlier.

After confirming this, Qin Feng could roughly guess.

Why the black-robed person had to be so secretive and not let anyone see him.

Because who he had to guard against was likely not people from other families or factions, but his own family.

This situation was clearly much more difficult, and naturally, one had to be more cautious.

As for the reason Qin Feng trusted Beigong Yun,

First, this was Qin Feng's own initial guess and judgment,

so he naturally had a certain degree of trust in it.

Plus, Beigong Yun did indeed describe the matters between Qin Feng and the black-robed person quite thoroughly,

and even mentioned Lin An and Xiao Fang's husband along the way.

Lin An had come to Yunlan City with Qin Feng, and they were seen together often, so many people could see that.

So it was no surprise that people knew Lin An and Qin Feng were companions.

But Xiao Fang's husband was just an ordinary person; being able to know about Xiao Fang's husband was a different matter.

Coupled with the information about the maid and the Princess recorded in the diary.

If Qin Feng didn't believe this.

Then there was nothing left to believe.

Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the black-robed person might have already been killed.

Or had his memories extracted by Beigong Yun or something similar.

But this possibility was indeed smaller.

First, the black-robed person's own strength was not weak, and his background must be very deep, so he wouldn't be killed that easily.

However, these two brothers were quite interesting.

Whether living comfortably or living in hardship.

Whether powerful or weaker.

By nature, they could still be considered pure and kind people.

I don't know if it was because of their bloodline or their own upbringing.

"How did you guess my identity?"

The two had already confirmed each other's identities.

This increased their sense of trust in one another.

Beigong Yun was no longer as vigilant toward Qin Feng, but relaxed slightly.

"I guessed it," Qin Feng said with a smile.

This answer was a bit infuriating, and a bit smug.

"Just by guessing, you could come straight to my door and dare to speak so bluntly?"

Beigong Yun was still quite surprised by Qin Feng's words.

Logically speaking, he should have doubted the truthfulness of Qin Feng's words.

But he also felt that since they had already confirmed each other's identities.

There was no need for Qin Feng to lie to him about such things; it made no sense.

"I was just bluffing you, and you confessed without being asked."

Qin Feng had indeed gambled on the idea of bluffing Beigong Yun.

When this was said, no matter how good Beigong Yun's personality was, his face couldn't help but darken.

It wasn't that he felt resentful toward Qin Feng's actions.

But rather he was angry at himself for taking the bait so easily.

"But there should be a basis for a guess; you can't just guess out of thin air."

Qin Feng's sudden arrival made Beigong Yun truly terrified.

He didn't think his flaws were so obvious that someone could see through what he was doing at a glance.

If that were really the case, he wouldn't have been able to harbor such secrets, carry out various covert actions, and still be alive today.

Yet Qin Feng had indeed seen through his identity at a glance.

And even guessed his relationship with Beigong Shang,

as well as their relationship with the Beigong clan.

This made Beigong Yun have to wonder if he had really done something wrong somewhere.

"Eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul."

"You should learn to control your gaze."

"How could someone whose eyes only hold compassion be a wicked, sinister, and cunning person?"

"You should be thankful. No one has really paid close attention to you."

"And even more thankful that your strength is weak, and you carry a gloomy temperament about you."

Qin Feng was explaining how he had guessed, and also reminding Beigong Yun.

After all, what Qin Feng could notice, others would inevitably be able to notice as well.

It was just a matter of time.

It was impossible for no one to ever pay attention to Beigong Yun.

Perhaps, someone had already noticed it long ago.

However, it was unlikely that anyone had been able to discern the relationship between Beigong Yun and Beigong Shang.

Qin Feng's success was purely a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

Plus, his imagination was too wild and his associative power too strong.

And because he had encountered the black-robed person before, he had such a guess.

"I understand, thank you."

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Beigong Yun took a deep breath and thanked him sincerely.

Talking to smart people is comfortable.

As long as you give a hint, the other party can clearly understand your meaning.

It's so worry-free.

The most basic information exchange was complete.

What followed was the main event.

"Do you need my help with your plan?"

Qin Feng did not directly ask what plan Beigong Yun and the black-robed person had.

Not to mention that they weren't that familiar yet, even if they were very close friends.

Qin Feng wouldn't disregard someone else's wishes to force his way into knowing a plan that had been in the works for a long time.

His previous toughness was just to confirm Beigong Yun's identity.

As for what they were going to do, Qin Feng didn't necessarily have to intervene.

"In fact, we never intended to involve outsiders in our plan."

"It's not that we don't trust everyone else, but that what we are doing is too dangerous."

"We don't want others to step into the vortex of conflict because of this. They might even lose their lives for nothing."
