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

Chapter 384: Chapter 174 Brother Yi! (Please Subscribe) Chapter 384: Chapter 174 Brother Yi! (Please Subscribe) A thousand miles south of South-Garrison Pass, a town spanning dozens of miles abruptly rose from the ground.

Surrounded on all four sides by high walls built from massive stones, the town had gates on the northern and southern ends, with “Wei-Barbarian Trade Market” written on them.

It took just three days for King of the Southern Garrison, Gongye Jiahong, to command people to build this “trade market” between the Wei Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians.

During this period, not only did soldiers from South-Garrison Pass participate, but also Barbarian Warriors from the Southern Barbarian Sect and craftsmen from places like Wangchuan County were conscripted.

Furthermore, a new bluestone road was constructed from the northern gate of the Wei-Barbarian Trade Market to South-Garrison Pass, ten zhang wide with a smooth surface.

Along the way, there is a fort every few miles on both sides, all guarded by soldiers of the Wei Dynasty.

From time to time, caravans with their merchant banners would travel from north to south, transporting various goods.

“Wow!”

Wei Jinyu looked at the newly laid roads, houses, and the bustling merchants within the market; her eyes lit up.

“Chen Yuan, look, look, there are so many people here.”

Behind her, Chen Yuan, shouldering the Black Wood Coffin, paid no attention and made his way through the crowd towards South-Garrison Pass.

These days, he had already heard about that battle from the various tribes of the Barbarian Clan.

However, from the Barbarian Clan’s perspective, there was more hatred and sorrow.

They hated the Wei people; they hated “Little Sword Immortal” Chen Yi, but their sorrow stemmed from the hundreds of thousands of Barbarians who died or were injured.

Almost every tribe had numerous people who had died tragically.

However, unlike the Wei people who pay much attention to funeral rites, after the remains were transported back to the tribes, they would hold their unique rituals to appease the spirits and conduct burial ceremonies.

Wei Jinyu pouted, looking at Chen Yuan’s continuously moving figure, “fiercely” waving her fists as if she wanted to give him a beating.

But once she saw him walking away, she hurriedly chased after him, chattering non-stop about scenery she found amusing and attractive.

Over these days, she had grown accustomed to Chen Yuan’s coldness.

Aside from cursing him as a “blockhead” in her heart, she didn’t dwell on it too much.

Especially after seeing how much Chen Yuan cared about Ling Yinrong, Wei Jinyu had concocted a tragic love story in her mind, painting Chen Yuan with the label of a “passionate lover.”

Therefore, any behavior from Chen Yuan towards her could easily be explained.

“The Barbarians should be quiet for a while now,” Wei Jinyu said to herself with a smile:
“Look, over there is a store of the Southern Barbarian Sect, it seems they are selling specialties from the Southern Barbarians.”

Chen Yuan glanced over indifferently, “They will not submit.”

Along the way, he had seen too many hostile gazes.

Among them were members of the Southern Barbarian Sect who recognized his identity, but most were because he was one of the Wei people.

Even though the battle was initiated by the South Barbarian Sect Leader who attacked South-Garrison Pass, incurring heavy casualties as a result of their own aggression, they wouldn’t attribute all blame to their own invasion.

When seeing their tribesmen dead or injured, they would only harbor deeper resentment towards the Wei people.

“So what if they do not submit?” Wei Jinyu huffed: “Our Great Wei has a strong military; even if your second brother doesn’t act, there will be others to deal with them.”

“If they dare to come in force again, Father would surely order a deep incursion into the Southern Barbarians and eradicate that dense forest!”

Chen Yuan’s mouth twitched subtly, yet he didn’t utter a word.

War wasn’t child’s play; it wasn’t as simple as she claimed.

Moreover, given that the Southern Barbarian Sect and the demons were well-prepared for this conflict, if his second brother didn’t act, even the defense of South-Garrison Pass could be in question.

Seeing that Chen Yuan didn’t respond, Wei Jinyu scanned the area and asked: “Chen Yuan, will you inherit the title of Marquis in the future?”

Chen Yuan paused his step, shook his head, “Won’t.”

“Why not?” Wei Jinyu was taken aback, then said:
“Don’t you want to lead the Wuan Army to station at Beixiong Pass, or shatter the Demon Court by crossing the Ten Thousand Mountains?”

“There’s no reason.” Chen Yuan tightened his grip on the coffin he was carrying and headed towards the northern gate of the trade market.

Despite the fact that with his status, he could indeed inherit the title of Duke Wuan, his heart was no longer fixated on titles or the court.

Watching him walk away, Wei Jinyu stamped her foot and reluctantly followed after him.

“Wait for me…”

The pair also drew the attention of the busy merchants around them.

Notably, Chen Yuan’s white hair made it difficult for them not to take notice.

“Absolute Blade Chen Yuan?”

Some Jianghu Guests who came here recognized Chen Yuan’s identity and began pointing and discussing among themselves.

“It’s him, the current seventh on the Earthly List.”

“I didn’t expect the description on the ‘Heavenly Pride List’ of him changing his disposition overnight and becoming white-haired to be true; I thought it was fabricated.”

“They say he changed like this because of a companion’s death.”

“A companion? How could that be? That’s the Absolute Blade Inheritor; he’s known to be heartless, how could he care about a companion’s life or death?”

“Who knows?”

At that moment, Marquis Baihua, Pang Zongkang, who was responsible for patrolling the “trade market,” also noticed them.

After observing for a moment.

Pang Zongkang, recalling the letter from Kyoto Prefecture, approached with the Baihua Guards to intercept their path.

“Excuse us, Princess, but please stay your steps.”

Wei Jinyu was surprised and looked at them, “Uncle Pang, you’re here as well?”

She glanced at Chen Yuan, her heart tightening inexplicably, asking, “Did Mother send a letter?”

Pang Zongkang had some connection to her birth mother and was a distant relative.

As such, she was quite familiar with this Marquis Baihua, having met him a few times in her childhood.

“Yes,” Pang Zongkang responded, looking at Chen Yuan with a smile, “Nephew, Her Majesty has sent a letter instructing me to see the Princess and escort her back to Kyoto Prefecture.”

As a Marquis, he naturally recognized both sons of Chen Taiping.

In fact, when Chen Yuan and Chen Yi’s names appeared on the “Heavenly Pride List,” other Marquises were quite envious of Chen Taiping.
