Chapter 444: Chapter 193: One Person’s Path to Enlightenment (Seeking Subscriptions)_3

Chen Yi declined the Marquis Mansion servants’ offer to prepare a carriage and proceeded to leave the mansion, looking out over the rain-soaked Fengtong Street.

The streets weren’t very crowded at the moment, perhaps due to the rain, with few people entering or leaving the shops lining the road.

Moreover, the residents of this street were either wealthy or noble, and the Black Armor Guard patrolled every corner and alley, making it hard for common folks and outsiders from the Kyoto Prefecture to come and go, which made this street all the more quiet.

Chen Yi glanced around briefly, then, holding an oiled paper umbrella, vanished into the rain, heading south along Fengtong Street.

The continuous drizzle meant that passersby who noticed him would often give him a second glance.

They didn’t recognize Chen Yi’s identity; they were simply captivated by the sight of a handsome young man holding an oiled paper umbrella.

Especially a few young ladies peering out from carriages, likely daughters of noble houses, their gazes spelled only one thing—astonishment!

"Whose young master is this?"

"Never seen him before. Is he from Fengtong Street? I heard both of Duke Wuan’s sons from the Chen Family have returned."

"Maybe it’s... pity though, they both have marriage arrangements. A while ago, the Holy Emperor bestowed a marriage to Chen Yuan, to the Fourteenth Princess."

"And the second son, Chen Yi, was engaged to Duke Xing’s daughter when he was very young."

"Yes, such a pity... especially for young master Chen Yi, they say the divine tiger that appeared in the sky last night was his doing."

"I’ve heard my mother say that too, apparently, it was to slay a demon."

"A demon? I heard it was a notorious evil demon from the Martial World, really terrifying."

These boudoir whispers reached Chen Yi’s ears, inevitably bringing a smile to his thoughts.

He hadn’t felt it before, but now, hearing these noble young ladies’ chatter, he realized how wise it had been to get engaged to Lin Xueru.

Without the engagement, he might have had to suffer like Chen Yuan...

"Huh?"

Chen Yi looked back, "Chen Yuan was granted a marriage by the Holy Emperor? Is it Wei Jinyu?"

He had no particular fondness for the Fourteenth Princess, nor any strong aversion.

But he knew that when Chen Yuan had previously left to find his senior sister Ling Yinrong, Wei Jinyu had also followed.

Later, when he returned to the Grand Void Sect after dealing with the demon from the Bai Shen Sect, he had seen Chen Yuan and Wei Jinyu part ways.

At that time, he also heard from Marquis Baihua, Pang Zongkang, about the "bestowed marriage".

However, he hadn’t expected the Holy Emperor to actually arrange a marriage between Wei Jinyu and Chen Yuan...

Chen Yi frowned slightly.

Setting aside the Absolute Saber Inheritance with Chen Yuan, just based on his understanding of Chen Yuan, he feared the outcome of this marriage arrangement was worrisome.

"The Holy Emperor... what is he thinking?"

Unless Wei Jinyu requested, it was hard for Chen Yi to believe that Emperor Wei would take the initiative to give his daughter in marriage to his elder brother.

Thinking this, Chen Yi quickened his pace.

The night before, when he used his Sword Intent to sense over the Kyoto Prefecture, he tried to locate Chen Yuan’s whereabouts.

But for some reason, Chen Yuan’s presence was nowhere to be found throughout the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

There were only two possibilities—either Chen Yuan was still at Duke Jingye Mansion or he had actively concealed his aura.

Either scenario gave Chen Yi an uneasy premonition.

Leaving Fengtong Street, Chen Yi detoured west, cutting across Vermilion Bird Street, and made his way to the Lin Mansion of Duke Xing in Zhangping Fang.

The prosperous scenery and the bustling crowds along the way did not make him pause.

Even though before returning to the Capital City, he had thought to take this time to travel around and fulfill his childhood wishes.

"Clang, clang, clang."

Creak.

The doorman of Lin Mansion, upon seeing Chen Yi outside, instantly changed from puzzled to welcoming with a smile:

"Is that the son-in-law?"

Son-in-law?

Chen Yi revealed a slight smile and nodded in agreement—he was indeed Lin Xueru’s "unwed son-in-law" to the Lin Mansion.

The elder doorman instructed a servant to lead Chen Yi while he himself hurried through the front yard.

As he ran, he called out joyfully, "Miss, Madam, the son-in-law has come to the mansion!"

Before long, Chen Yi heard a fluster inside the mansion and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Especially when he saw Lin Xueru anxiously instructing her maids to help her change clothes and arrange her hair, he truly saw a side of her different from the one at the Grand Void Sect.

It seemed the little girl had quickly adapted the "rules" here in the Capital City, when she always used to do things by herself in the sect.

As he passed the front yard and arrived at the central main hall, he finally saw people coming to greet him.

"You must be brother Chen Yi, right? I am Lin Jixin."

The man was dressed in a sky-blue robe, holding a folded fan in his hand, his figure was upright, and his eyes showed some resemblance to Lin Xueru.

Chen Yi greeted with cupped hands, "Second elder brother."

He had heard from Lin Xueru about Lin Jixin, a student of the Kyoto Academy who used to buy snacks for her when she was little.

"Ah," Lin Jixin heard Chen Yi’s address and revealed a smile, "Just now Ru Ru was still talking about you. I didn’t expect you to visit so soon."

As he spoke, he indicated to the rear, leading Chen Yi into the main hall.

"What did Xue Ru say about me?"

"She," Lin Jixin said with a chuckle, shaking his head, "a grown-up girl cannot be retained. She has practically praised you to the skies."

Of course, after last night’s episode, he too felt Chen Yi was almost celestial.

Even though he had witnessed several learned masters with Vast Energy at the Kyoto Academy, he still had to acknowledge the strength of Chen Yi’s Sword Dao.

Different from the imposing and upright aura of Confucianism, the Divine Intent of the White Tiger he saw last night left him with a sense of sharpness and dominance.

Even from just that look, Lin Jixin, Lin Xueru’s elder brother, was convinced—Chen Yi was truly a man of tremendous stature, fully capable of protecting his little sister.

Chen Yi couldn’t help but smile silently, thinking that indeed sounded like something the little girl would say.
