I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 435 - 190: Battle Post! (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Chapter 435: Chapter 190: Battle Post! (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

"You’re neither a monk nor a Taoist, why would a university scholar like you care about those bald monks?"

"Even if they fight until they bleed, it has nothing to do with you."

Upon hearing this, Xie Dongan lowered his head.

"Grandfather’s lesson is well taken, I’ve thought too much."

Xie Jing turned his head away, refusing to look at him.

"It’s not so much that you’ve thought too much; you are simply too idle."

"I’m not..."

"Not?" Xie Jing smiled cheerfully and interrupted: "Do you feel that you won’t be number one at the grand event and so you’ve given up?"

Xie Dongan forced a laugh and said, "I can’t beat Wang Yang, and even less so Chen Yi."

Those two monsters are stronger than one another; they are not someone he, a mundane person, can compare with.

"In your opinion, you think more highly of that lad of the Chen Family?"

"I suppose."

"I think so too," Xie Jing nodded slightly: "So go home and copy the ’Family Instructions’ a hundred times and bring it to me early tomorrow morning."

"...Yes, grandson shall take his leave first."

Xie Dongan paid his respects and turned to leave the pavilion, a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

Why bother?

Why does he bother himself with these monks!

But halfway through, he changed his mind.

After copying the "Family Instructions," he would ask the "Great Void Buddha Child" for advice.

Xie Dongan always felt that the gathering of these monks in the Capital City was fishy, and if he didn’t figure it out, he would have copied all those words for nothing.

What he didn’t know was that Xie Jing, who was still enjoying the cold breeze in the pavilion, couldn’t help but smile.

"Insightful!"

He had clear insight and even more patience—a rarity in this world!

...

Chen Yi declined the goodwill of those at home wishing to welcome him, and with both Xia Wanwan and Chen Taiping not there, he didn’t really like to deal with those elders.

Fortunately, after Grandpa returned from the court, he only sent someone to invite him once, and after Chen Yi declined, he dropped the matter.

There was no persistent enthusiasm in repeated invitations, nor was there any attempt to bring the Old Lady to morally coerce him.

So, on his first day back in the Capital City, Chen Yi, after a long time, heard various noises.

The kind of noise he rarely heard while at the peaceful Grand Void Sect.

He remembers it started after lunch at noon when he began to hear that "rumor" near the two squares.

Then, like opening Pandora’s box, it seemed as if the entire Capital City knew that "Prince Zhenbei came to welcome him."

Some said he was arrogant because of his talent, some said he disrespected hierarchy, and others thought "this cannot be tolerated," planning to report him to the Holy Emperor.

After hearing such things too much, he almost believed them himself.

"Interesting."

Under Chen Yi’s awareness, he silently took note of several individuals deliberately spreading rumors.

Of course, he didn’t only remember these few people, but also their locations and potential instigators.

"Zhao Family on Fengtong Street, I remember before I left the Capital City, the Zhao Family had an Assistant Minister of Rites, and after more than a decade, he should have been promoted, right?"

"And Yin Family from Changle Square, also a Ministry of Rites official."

"Tong Family from Kangping Square, the former County Magistrate, as for now, I don’t know."

"And a few others..."

Chen Yi took secret delight in encountering such matters just as he returned to the Capital City.

Was this meant to intimidate him as he stepped down from his position?

Or was it to test him?

Or perhaps both?

Chen Yi didn’t know.

All he knew was one thing—returning to the Capital City, he was no longer the same as when he left!

Thinking of this, Chen Yi’s Sword Intent awareness instantly traveled thousands of miles, accurately locating Wen Renying, the "demoness" who was hiding in Xijiang Prefecture.

However, it seemed like she was somewhat inconvenienced at the moment, soaking in a tub, murmuring to herself:

"Hehe, Little Sword Immortal~ I like you so much~ my darling, if only there were more of you~"

"..."

Chen Yi coughed, his presence like a thunderclap startling Wen Renying, causing her to lose her composure.

"Who? Who is peeping at me?"

Wen Renying swiftly moved out, putting on a thin gauze, suspiciously surveying the array set up in the room.

"It’s me."

Chen Yi felt his brain was unclean, as if stained by a swath of pure white.

"Great one?"

Wen Renying seemed to have calmed down, patting her chest, the previously concealing gauze instantly dropping all pretense of a barrier, as she voluptuously approached the rim of the tub.

"You scared me to death~"

"..."

Despite Chen Yi never considering himself a good person, Wen Renying truly doesn’t see him as an outsider at this moment.

"Does the Bai Shen Sect have any usable people within the Kyoto Prefecture?"

"Eh? Does the lord have something he wishes for this servant to do?" Wen Renying was taken aback, then quickly regained a serious demeanor and said:

"There are no members of the Bai Shen Sect in the Kyoto Prefecture, only a few informants to facilitate understanding the court’s movements."

Chen Yi having an issue means that she could obtain the Blood Core, and as a business-minded Nine-tailed Fox, she naturally wouldn’t refuse.

"Then help me investigate the Zhao Family on Fengtong Street, Changle Square..."

Chen Yi commanded without any reservation: "It’s best if you can find some indecent things they have done; the more, the better, and the more detailed, the better."

Wen Renying quickly agreed, and even to express her sincerity, she asked:

"If the lord needs it, this servant can personally go to Kyoto Prefecture~"

"Oh? You dare to come?"

Chen Yi slightly raised an eyebrow, did this Bai Shen Sect Demoness really consider herself as one of his people?

It must be known that all demon folk from the Bai Shen Sect are wanted criminals on the court’s list, especially the "Demoness," who is even listed by the Night Watch Department.

"My lord can rest assured, this servant has her ways~"

Wen Renying stepped into a bucket, shedding her light gauze and laughing playfully: "I guarantee that I won’t be discovered~"

That’s for the best.

Chen Yi thought for a moment, then said: "If you come, then let’s change the plan."

"Please speak, my lord."

"I have my own arrangements after you arrive."

"Good~ This servant will follow all of the lord’s commands~"

Chen Yi secretly rolled his eyes; not a single word from this Demoness, who is dying for a Blood Core, can be trusted.

Afterwards, he withdrew his Sword Intent.

"With a ’Demoness’ making a move, I am sure they will be very happy."

The corners of Chen Yi’s mouth curved up.

Since those people use such unscrupulous tactics, he didn’t mind repaying them in kind.

It was a pity that he was only good at killing with a sword and not adept at such meticulous tasks, so he could only use a Blood Core to make a wicked person like the "Demoness" take action.

As for whether Wen Renying getting discovered would implicate him... That would just force him to return to what he was best at, which was the Sword Dao.

He could hardly wait!

However, from this matter, Chen Yi suddenly realized that he indeed needed some subordinates to do some "dirty work" for him.

After all, there were many things in the world he could not solve with a sword, like those nobility who spread rumors to disgust him—they were not suitable to be killed with a direct stroke of the sword.

—That would be letting them off too cheap!

With this thought, Chen Yi’s consciousness entered the Sumeru Bag, took out the "Forget Order" and intended to enter the Water Mirror.

"Chen Yi?"

Just at this moment, a voice rang out next to his ear, carrying a slightly unfriendly tone.

Chen Yi paused in his action, looking towards the west, and his Sword Intent suddenly spread out, covering the Kyoto Prefecture with a faint white fog.

Instantly, his Sword Intent went over mountains and ridges, reaching a secret place west of the He Xi Prefecture, surrounded by mountains.

—Wuliang Mountain.

Chen Yi’s Sword Intent was unable to break through that Array, and he casually asked: "Which master of Wuliang Mountain is it?"

Crossing such a great distance, this person’s Cultivation was certainly not low.

"Poor Daoist Lou Yuchun!"

As the voice transmitted, Chen Yi noticed the Array outside Wuliang Mountain dissipated, and a handsome Daoist sitting on a Lotus Platform was looking straight at him.

Boom!

As the two looked at each other across the air, it was like thunder roared beside them.

In an instant.

The courtyard where Chen Yi was resonated with Sword Intent, and a faint sound of a tiger’s roar solidified within the courtyard.

And on Wuliang Mountain, Lou Yuchun showed a look of surprise.

Although he had already learned from Lou Yuhuang that Chen Yi had ascended to the Divine Power Realm, he did not believe that the freshly ascended Chen Yi could possess such might.

Yet the reality exceeded his expectations, that Sword Intent actually spanned thousands of miles, shaking up the imposing aura around him.

"Yuhuang was right; nephew Chen Yi is indeed an extraordinary prodigy."

Chen Yi responded calmly: "Has Master Lou decided on what kind of ’explanation’ to give me?"

"Explanation?"

Lou Yuchun’s expression was calm, staring at the eastern night sky for a while, as if the entire night sky was the figure of Chen Yi.

"That matter indeed showed a bias from Yuhuang, but his crime does not warrant death."

"So Master Lou also thinks that I should die?" Chen Yi squinted his eyes.

"Hehe, not at all," Lou Yuchun said with a dry smile: "Previously, I hadn’t thought of what ’explanation’ to give you."

"But now I have thought of one!"

As his words fell, Lou Yuchun formed seals with his hands, and a beam of golden light flew out of Wuliang Mountain, appearing before Chen Yi in a blink of an eye.

Chen Yi glanced at it, a flicker in his eyes: "A challenge letter?"

"Exactly—giving a period of ten years, after the duel is concluded, you and I shall meet at the foot of Taizhou Mountain, to determine the superior!"
