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

Chapter 31 27 Ahem, The Poor Way Loves to Play the Mentor (Two in One)



After those senior ministers who attended the early morning court session entered the Imperial City first, Chen Yi caught sight of Liu Gao, who was on his way to deliver an imperial decree to the mansion, hurrying along with two eunuchs and two Black-armored soldiers.

"Princely Heirs, Commandery Princesses, Young Marquises, and Gentlemen, please follow this old servant to Qingzheng Hall. The teacher is already waiting there; let us not keep him anxious."

Toward these children, Mr. Liu put on no airs, treating them with the same respect he would their parents.

"We should be pleased to follow the Inner Guard."

A crisp voice spoke up first, and Chen Yi recognized him to be the grandson of King of the Southern Garrison, Gongye Shou, a young Marquis with black hair, green eyes, and the blood of an Alien Race.

And the four children following him were the progeny of several Marquises under the banner of the Southern Garrison King.

"Please, this way, Gongye Heir and everyone else."

Hearing this, Liu Gao's face bloomed into a smile as pure as a white lotus, leading the way ahead.

From beginning to end, he did not spare a single glance at the nearby carriages and the relatives of the children.

"Let's also make our way."

Prince Zhenbei's heir, Du Yanqing, adjusted his clothes and followed him.

Du Yan, however, looked at Gongye Shou with dissatisfaction, and trotted to the front of her brother, whispering about how he failed to speak first and let those from the south take the lead.

Chen Yi instantly felt amused; he hadn't expected such young children to be aware of factional divisions already.

With that in mind, he then led Lin Xueru and Wang Yongnian to follow them.

As the children entered the Imperial City, more than a hundred guards and accompanying nobles greeted each other and left in their carriages.

"Wan Wan sister, Yi Er has gone inside, won't you go back?"

Zhu Yu, upon seeing a familiar figure nearby, strolled over to inquire.

Xia Wanwan snapped back to reality and sheepishly responded, "I'll, I'll go back now."

"Don't worry, of all the children here, the least likely to encounter trouble is Yi Er." Zhu Yu saw her worry for Chen Yi and chuckled, looping her arm through Wanwan's.

"Do you remember when Yi Er and Xue Ru were kidnapped by those villains?"

"Ever since that incident, Ru Ru constantly talks about Yi Er, so much so that even Ji Xin, who's closest to her, has started to get jealous."

"Is that so?"

Xia Wanwan's interest was piqued—there wasn't a mother that didn't like hearing praise for her own child.

"Would I lie to you? Let me tell you..."

...

Ultimately, Du Yan couldn't hold back; after "educating" her brother, she pulled Chen Yi and the others aside to whisper secrets.

She spoke in a hushed, mysterious tone:

"My father said that the one teaching us is a Taoist from the Grand Void Sect."

"A Taoist?" Wang Yongnian, his nose running, asked, "Is it something to eat?"

"You dummy, a Taoist means a Daoist."

Du Yan rolled her eyes at him and continued, "Father also said that he has a bad temper and is irascible, and that he fears the Daoist might disobey the Holy Emperor's decree..."

"Did Father really say that?" Du Yanqing looked at her skeptically.

"Of course, I overheard... he said so yesterday."

...

Chen Yi and the others all turned their gaze towards her, staring until Du Yan bared her tiny fangs.

"If you don't believe it, so be it."

"Believed."

Regardless of whether the others believed her or not, Chen Yi did.

Recalling Mr. Liu's previous remarks that "the teacher does not like tardiness," he surmised that the Daoist's status was not low.

At least Mr. Liu's tone was somewhat reverent when he made that comment.

"Brother Yi, do you think the teacher might send us away?"

The little Princely Heir was somewhat nervous, asking the person he thought most capable.

"It's possible, quite possible." Chen Yi pondered for a few seconds and then nodded.

There were many ways to defy a royal decree, and among them, the least costly was to declare, "The child is unteachable, the Daoist shall depart."

If it were him, facing an unwelcome decree, he would also choose a "reasonable" way to evade it.

That is, assuming the Daoist still adhered to decorum.

"What shall we do then?" Wang Yongnian's round face scrunched up, "If my father sees me being sent out, I'll be punished."

"Don't panic just yet. Let's wait until we meet the teacher; maybe he's as easy-going as my family's teachers?"

Chen Yi reassured them, though he didn't expect the children's faces to grow even paler.

Only Lin Xueru demurely nodded her head, looking completely trusting of whatever he said.

"We have no other choice."

Soon, the children, following the eunuchs, passed through the Imperial City Gate, palaces, and towers to arrive outside a palace on the eastern side of the Imperial City.

The palace wasn't very tall, considerably shorter than the central Huaqing Palace, with a plaque hanging above the door that read "Qingzheng Hall."

Chen Yi immediately noticed a Daoist standing outside the hall wearing a grey Daoist robe.

On his head sat a Feather Crown, his age showing some signs of weariness with a few streaks of grey amongst his black hair hanging down to his chest, giving off a somewhat detached aura.

While Chen Yi curiously sized up Gu Tiangang, he was also sizing up the children.

However, as the Vice Sect Leader of the Grand Void Sect and a powerhouse of the Second Grade Divine Travel Realm, he did not evaluate others with his eyes but used the Taoist's unique Qi Observation Technique.

He was curious to see what kind of talent these "misshapen fruits" sent over by Emperor Wei possessed!

"Taoist Gu, your thoughts?" Liu Gao bent over, carefully speaking.

But before he could speak further, Gu Tiangang gestured him to wait with a hand, "Hold on."

"Sure, sure, as you wish." Liu Gao chuckled awkwardly as he stepped back.

Although he was eager to hand over the children so he could bring in the two Princes and Princesses, he dared not make decisions for the venerable Daoist.

Gu Tiangang paid no attention to his reaction. True Qi circulated, and a trace of luminescence quietly appeared in his eyes.

Qi Observation Technique!

The next moment, the entire world in his sight turned hazy, as if he had stepped into another realm.

Grand architectural structures and the refined surface of white jade tiles instantly distorted and vanished, leaving only dozens of mists of various colors in front of his eyes.
