I'm only one year old what the heck Is a overturning system

"..."

Chen Yi opened his mouth, was Zhou Guanwu really so upright, to prove his innocence by dying for his country?

Xie Dongan saw his expression and also revealed a bitter smile.

"Afterwards, Emperor Wei realized he had been deceived and went on to slaughter nearly half of the nobility in the Capital City, with blood flowing into rivers outside the Vermilion Bird Gate."

"He also ordered that no one should speak of this matter, and posthumously promoted Zhou Guanwu to General."

"However, since the dead cannot be brought back to life, many in the court felt indebted to Old Zealous Marquis Zhou Tiance."

"Especially since your father is among the two Marquis from the same line as Prince Zhenbei, who had arranged his marriage to Zhou Wanyi at that time."

Chen Yi shook his head secretly, realizing so that's where the marriage originated from.

"Brother Dong An, do you also think this matter is related to the civil servant lineage?"

"It cannot be ruled out," sighed Xie Dongan, "Despite my grandfather being the Left Minister, there are many matters beyond his control."

"Such as in recent years, the Devoted Army has suffered heavy losses at the Beixiong Pass multiple times, and many suspect it was orchestrated by those behind that incident."

"Oh?" Chen Yi asked, "Is there a suspected target?"

"No, but I know the Old Zealous Marquis has been making moves in secret."

Continuing, Xie Dongan looked meaningfully at him and said, "Your father Chen Taiping is also active."

Chen Yi slightly raised his eyebrow, Dad is also scheming in secret?

Has he already discovered what Zhou Tiance did and is covertly opposing those people?

Chen Yi couldn't be sure; it seemed he really should take time to return to the Capital City.

Moreover, he always felt that Xie Dongan's meeting had a deeper meaning, yet his words were unclear.

Strange, very strange!

Xie Dongan, meeting his gaze, did not continue speaking but poured two glasses of wine, smiling:

"To the peace and safety of the Wei Dynasty citizens."

Chen Yi smiled and downed the drink in one gulp.

"Today, I thank Brother Dong An for resolving my confusion."

"Mr. Chen, as the current Heavenly Pride, even if I did not speak today, you would still unravel these eventually."

"Brother Dong An is also a talent of this era..."

The two complimented each other back and forth.

Chen Yi thought to himself, civil servants really are damn pretentious!

While Xie Dongan was thinking: Little Sword Immortal is steadfast, almost uninfluenced by others, tough to deal with.

Should he become the next Zhou Guanwu, the outcome might surprise everyone.

Die for his country?

Hah, unless he causes enough bloodshed, I, Xie Dongan, am willing to write my name in reverse!

However, Xie Dongan knew, this trip had its gains.

At the very least, he could confirm one thing: Little Sword Immortal has no ambitions towards the court, which is a fortune among misfortunes.

Otherwise, a talented Sword Cultivator taking over as Lord Wuan, many in the court might lose sleep.

"Hmm, seems like these two aren't necessarily conflicting?"

Xie Dongan thought of this possibility, bitterly laughing to himself.

Hoping that when he leaves the Academy to take up official duties, he doesn't face such a situation...

Even his grandfather can't manage, let alone himself!

Chen Yi, unaware of Xie Dongan's thoughts, felt that the trip was not wasted.

"Now, just one doubt remains — why that old dog has targeted me?"

It couldn't possibly be someone from Lord Wuan's lineage spreading the "Zhou Guanwu colluded with Demon Emperor," right?

...

A night without words.

The next morning, Xie Changle stirred up a fuss early on.

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother, you have a letter from your third senior sister."

Chen Yi finished washing up and curiously looked at him, "Ling Yinrong senior sister? What did she say?"

Xie Changle grinned, showing off a row of white teeth, and waved the letter in his hand, saying:

"She mentioned that she is currently in the dense forests of the Southern Barbarian Land, still having some matters to handle."

"If possible, she will hurry to that secret realm to meet up with us."

Chen Yi took the letter and read it, indeed, as Xie Changle had said, Senior Sister Ling Yinrong was currently in the Southern Barbarian Land.

Xie Changle spoke to himself, "It's a pity she didn't mention what matters she needed to handle, otherwise, we could have gone to help."

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen her."

Chen Yi put away the letter, smiling, and asked, "Brother Changle, what kind of person is our third senior sister? How does she compare to the eldest senior sister?"

"Incomparable, incomparable."

Xie Changle recalled Zhan Hongxiu's domineering behaviors, and shook his head repeatedly:

"Eldest sister is too fierce, our third sister is somewhat gentler, but stronger than junior sister Ning."

"When she was still on the mountain, just like you, she was responsible for teaching us the Sword Dao, but unfortunately, she later encountered a deviation in her cultivation and had to descend the mountain for travel."

"I don't know if her cultivation reached the third-rank; if not, that really would be fortunate."

Chen Yi: "Fortunate?"

Xie Changle naturally said, "Of course it's fortunate, you wouldn't think the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield is a good place, would you?"

Chen Yi looked at him strangely, probing, "So, is this the reason Brother Changle isn't keen on cultivating?"

Xie Changle was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and gave a dry laugh, "No, my talent is limited, incomparable to someone outstanding like you."

"Speaking of which, has your cultivation improved again? I see a few more spiritual acupoint vortices, don't I?"

Chen Yi gave him a sidelong glance, thinking whether this was changing the subject, or exposing his weaknesses?

Then nonchalantly said, "It's somewhat like finding a method that can enhance the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique."

"That so, that's good haha..."

After the laugh, Xie Changle turned and walked away, saying he was going to feed the horses in the stable, so they wouldn't lack strength on the road.

Chen Yi gave a wry smile, didn't think much of it, and later joined Flower Fairy Xiao Xuanzhen and others, arriving together at the inn's main hall.

Xie Dongan and two young fellows who travelled with him had already eaten breakfast and were prepared to continue traveling south.

"Brother Dong An, may you have a smooth journey," Chen Yi greeted.

"Mr. Chen, see you another day."

Xie Dongan smiled as he said this, then directly took the young fellow named Jiang Ye and the tomboy, turned, and left.

Xiao Xuanzhen watched the three depart hurriedly and suspiciously asked, "'Little Sword Immortal' Junior Brother, why do I feel like he is avoiding you?"

Chen Yi smirked, "You're overthinking it."

Saying this, he then urged Flower Fairy to eat more, as they couldn't afford to lose weight after a journey down the mountain.

In fact, Xie Dongan was indeed keen on keeping a distance from him.

"An, why don't you invite the 'Little Sword Immortal' to travel with us?" Jiang Ye asked puzzled.

Xie Dongan seriously asked, "Do you think that would be safer?"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Ye blinked, "He is the Earthly List First Heavenly Pride, very strong."

Even the tomboy by his side looked at him doubtfully.

Hearing this, Xie Dongan sighed, mounted his horse, and meaningfully said:

"Sometimes being too strong isn't a good thing, especially right now since we are still outside the Wei Dynasty."

Having said that, he spurred his horse and took the lead to leave.

Jiang Ye, confused, looked at the tomboy, and they spoke simultaneously:

"Did you understand that?"

"I understood!"

Understood my foot, is there a necessary connection between those two?!
