Kou Yuanheng had only been testing Chen Fei; he had not fully confirmed that Chen Fei had truly killed Duanmu Xiao and taken his place.
After all, Chen Fei's imitation of Duanmu Xiao had been almost flawless. If Chen Fei had been able to imitate Duanmu Xiao's aura as well, there would have been no problem at all in calling Chen Fei Duanmu Xiao.
