I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 302: Seeing Him Like an Ant Seeing the Blue Sky (Subscription Request)

It’s not that Chen Yi didn’t want to comfort Xia Wanwan, but he didn’t want to impose his will on his elders.

If he shows up, no matter what Xia Wanwan and Chen Taiping thought before, their decisions will be based on his will, and even the Chen family will act according to his instructions.

In that case, Zhou Wanyi's fate would be even more miserable.

"We have to go out now." Lin Xueru was still immersed in the nervousness of meeting her future mother-in-law. Her beautiful face was full of pitiful expressions and she looked very cute with her pouting lips.

Xiao Xuanzhen put his arm around her shoulders and said teasingly, "Junior sister, are you so impatient to meet your future mother-in-law?"

"No, no..." Lin Xueru suddenly felt a little shy, lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Chen Yi, and said hesitantly: "Then, let's set off quickly."

"Yes," Chen Yi nodded with a smile: "Put on the sect's Taoist robes."

At this time, Xia Wanwan's mind had not yet calmed down, and it was indeed not the time for her to meet Lin Xueru.

Chen Yi thought that after Xia Wanwan returned from the registration, she would be more relaxed, so he could let the little girl comfort her and dilute her complicated mood.

"That's right," Hua Youxiang said, shaking her fist, "Let them see the elegance of our Taixu Dao Sect."

"Erhua, be quiet." Fairy Flower tried her best not to look at Lin Xueru and Chen Yi, and pulled Hua Youxiang back to the room: "Let's go change into the sect's Taoist robes."

Xiao Xuanzhen was wearing a black-patterned white tiger Taoist robe. He glanced at Chen Yi and said:

"Are you going to come with us wearing a Wuhou robe?"

Chen Yi looked down and thought, "I'll go change it too."

Although he did not participate in this Wei Dynasty event, he was ultimately a disciple of the Taixu Taoist Sect and represented the face of the Taoist geniuses.

"see you later."

Lin Xueru and Xiao Xuanzhen closed the door and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Junior sister, aren't you going to thank me?" Xiao Xuanzhen sat aside and said, "If I asked you to go see Madam Xia right now, your heart would probably jump out of your chest."

Lin Xueru touched her chest, her face still blushing as she said, "I, I haven't seen Aunt Wanwan for more than ten years, so I'm a little nervous."

"What are you afraid of? Can she eat you?"

"Oh, no, it's just me. I'm worried that she won't like it... After all, I've been practicing in Taixu Peak for many years, and I have a lot of martial arts skills..."

Xiao Xuanzhen looked at that beautiful jade-like face and couldn't help but pinch it twice, saying:

"You are so beautiful, your aunt will definitely like you."

"That being said, my aunt has been in Kyoto Prefecture, and all the ladies she has seen are like that." Lin Xueru gestured with two fingers to show a graceful figure, and said in a muffled voice: "I, I'm not that good."

"You still have Junior Brother Chen Yi here. As long as he recognizes you, you don't have to worry about anything else."

Xiao Xuanzhen knew Chen Yi's current reputation in Kyoto Prefecture. It was no exaggeration to say that he was second only to the emperor. With such status and cultivation, no one could replace Lin Xueru's position.

Even though she is the flower fairy who ranks ahead of Lin Xueru in "The Ten Great Taoist Fairies", she can only bow her head in front of Lin Xueru.

"Brother Yi..."

Lin Xueru's mind flashed with the image of Chen Yi. A smile appeared on her face, and she nodded: "Brother Yi won't abandon me."

"Don't worry, if he dares to abandon you, I will beat him to death for you." Xiao Xuanzhen waved his fist: "My Taixu Eight Methods are not vegetarian either."

However, seeing Lin Xueru's obvious disbelief, Xiao Xuanzhen smiled awkwardly and put down his fist: "As long as he doesn't fight back, I will definitely give him a punch."

Lin Xueru smiled and said, "Change your clothes."

Brother Yi’s current cultivation level has far exceeded their imagination, so she should continue to work hard.

After they changed into Taoist robes, Chen Yi ordered the servants in the mansion to prepare the carriage, and took Xiao Xuanzhen, Chen Fan and others away from the mansion.

"Junior brother, when did Uncle Li and Master Xuanjian go out?" Xiao Xuanzhen noticed that Li Qingzhou was not in the room and asked curiously.

"We should go to the Imperial City to discuss tomorrow's grand celebration," Chen Yi glanced at the Imperial City and explained casually:
"I heard that many people came to watch the grand event of our dynasty."

For example, the Grand Master of the Western Buddhist Kingdom was one of them. However, he heard last night that the Grand Master had suddenly decided not to come, and he guessed that it was related to the changes in Buddhism in the Wei Dynasty.

"I wonder how many of our Taixu Dao Sect will be able to stand out in this event." Hua Youxiang leaned back in the carriage, lifted the curtains and looked outside, smiling:
"If Senior Brother does not participate in the event, the task of displaying the sect's style will be left to you."

"What about you?" Xiao Xuanzhen joked, "You and Junior Brother Chen are practicing together in Jianfeng Mountain. He is not participating in the event. As his junior sister, shouldn't you be the one to take the top spot?"

"Senior Sister Xiao, you are laughing at me again..."

Erhua knew her own weight. If it weren't for the protection of Gu Tiangang and Li Qingzhou in recent times, her cultivation would probably not have been able to break through to the fourth level, and she would not even be qualified to register for this event.

Xiao Xuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Junior Brother Chen is not participating in this event not because he doesn't want to, but because he is too strong."

“If we don’t perform well in the event, some people might say that the Taixu Dao Sect relies on Junior Brother for support, and some people with ulterior motives might even say that Junior Brother is not as strong as the rumors say.”

"How dare they... No, will they really say that?" Hua Youxiang opened her mouth slightly, and then she was filled with indignation: "I will never let this happen!"

Lin Xueru seemed to be aroused by their words and snorted, "I will not allow anyone to slander Brother Yi."

Chen Yi shook his head and said helplessly: "They don't dare."

If possible, he didn't want Lin Xueru and others to rank higher.

Although this idea was selfish, Chen Yi didn't want to see the little girls get involved in the gambling fight.

"I, I will also live up to the reputation of our sect." The Flower Fairy glanced at Chen Yi secretly and said.

Chen Yi laughed dumbly and said softly, "Junior sister, just do your best and don't worry about winning or losing for the time being."

The Flower Fairy’s cultivation is not weak, but her talent is in the art of alchemy, and she is at a great disadvantage in fighting with others.

"Junior brother, what you said is wrong," Xiao Xuanzhen said while holding the flower fairy's arms:

"This event is not just about fighting, there are also competitions between Qimen and Dandao. I heard from Uncle Li that this is to select more talented geniuses for training."

"Even if they cannot participate in the battle with the Demon Court, they can still strengthen the human race after going to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield."

Chen Yi suddenly realized, "That's good. This way, Junior Sister Fairy will also have a chance to rank among the top."

"Junior brother, since you have returned safely from the Demon Court, please focus on your thoughts. You are now in Kyoto Prefecture." Xiao Xuanzhen seized the opportunity to preach.

"..."

Chen Yi glared at her but did not refute.

Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed like Xiao Xuanzhen said. Even after returning to Kyoto Prefecture, his mind was still filled with "Jijingtian" and Taizhou Mountain, and it was inevitable that he was a little distracted.

"Speaking of this, Brother Yi, you haven't told us about your experience in the Demon Court." Lin Xueru saw Chen Yi's mood and immediately changed the subject.

"Yes, yes... Senior Brother, please tell us quickly." Erhua liked to inquire about the strange people and things in the world. The biggest strange news at the moment was that Chen Yi went to the Shiwanda Mountains alone. How could she miss it?

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanzhen didn't bother to bully Chen Yi with words, and looked at him with the Flower Fairy.

Even Chen Fan, who was sitting quietly in the corner in a scholar's robe, had an eager look on his face.

"Demon Court..."

Chen Yi looked at the expressions of the few people, then carefully considered his words and spoke selectively:
"Speaking of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is indeed a place that the Demon Court has managed for thousands of years. The dangers there are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, even this Marquis..."

"Stop boasting and focus on the important points!"

"Senior Sister Xiao, are you still listening? If not, don't interrupt."

"Please, Senior Sister Xiao, please don't interrupt me..."

Perhaps because of Xiao Xuan's real reminder, Chen Yi temporarily put his worries aside and focused only on the present, no longer thinking about the future.

After all, Taizhou Mountain is there, and the "General" and "Pure Land of Bliss" and others are also there, so he still has plenty of time to look for them.

Inside the carriage, Chen Yi vividly recounted his experiences in the Demon Court, while outside the carriage, travelers along the way who saw the people in the carriage and recognized the identities of those inside all gasped.

The most respected were the Black Armor Guards, all of them straightened their backs and saluted. After all, the people in the army respected Wu Hou the most, especially someone like Chen Yi who dared to do things that others in the world dared not do, which made them look at him eagerly.

Even though they didn't see Chen Yi show up, they were still excited.

"I've heard that Lord Yingwu Marquis has returned to Kyoto Prefecture. Today, I finally got to see his carriage. It seems that they are heading to Zhenbei Palace?"

"Today is the last day to register for the event. I heard that the Taixu Dao Sect's geniuses have not yet registered. I think they will go to Dakong Temple later."

"There are many geniuses in Dakong Temple at the moment. The descendants of aristocratic families and sects are all there. When Lord Yingwu Hou goes there... it will be very lively now."

"Well, if we didn't have duties to perform, we might as well go and join in the fun."

"Who said it wasn't?"

As for those wanderers, there are no such restrictions.

When the wanderers who had originally planned to travel around heard that Chen Yi was going out, they all rushed to the Dakong Temple. Even the hundreds of sword cultivators who were practicing in the sword cultivation holy land outside the mansion came out after hearing about this.

"We have received instruction from the Little Sword Immortal, but have never had the chance to thank him. Now that we have the chance, we should definitely go and see him."

"That's right..." The sword-killing spirit left by Chen Yi has become a holy place for cultivation in Kyoto Prefecture. All the sword cultivators in the seventeen prefectures with wealthy families have their descendants coming here to gain insights.

Even if a sword cultivator has no money, he can sign a contract with the Night Watch Department and Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. As long as he promises to work for the Night Watch Department and Wu'an Army, he can get the opportunity to practice.

This alone made Ji Xingyun of the Night Watch smile from ear to ear. After all, the Night Watch had always been short of flag orders. With this operation, they now had a stable source of flag orders.

The same is true for the Wu'an Army. If those sword practitioners who have learned a lot join the army, they can also strengthen the strength of the new army.

This is also one of the reasons why the people from the Night Watch showed the same respect when they saw Chen Yi's carriage.

The people of Kyoto Prefecture straightened their chests and took the initiative to tell the people around them, "Lord Yingwu Hou is the 'little sword fairy' who was born in their Kyoto Prefecture." God knows how proud they were when they said this.

……

Chen Yi had tried his best to avoid dangerous places, but the little girls were still frightened to the point of almost crying. Even Xiao Xuanzhen grabbed her clothes and cried that it was too dangerous. One can imagine how they felt at that moment.

"Brother Yi, please don't go to such dangerous places again." Lin Xueru said worriedly.

Flower Fairy also advised carefully: "Brother, Confucianism says 'A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall', so you should be more cautious in everything."

Hua Youxiang's eyes lit up: "If something like this happens again next time, Senior Brother must take me with you, I..."

Before she could finish, the Flower Fairy slapped her on the forehead and scolded her, "Erhua, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"pain……"

Chen Yi looked at their worried expressions and smiled to comfort them: "It happened to be a good opportunity. I won't be so reckless in the future."

That being said, if he were to encounter a similar situation, he would make a similar choice.

After all, his goal for this trip to the Demon Court was very clear - to destroy the possibility of the "Demon Court" and the "Extremely Pure Sky" joining forces.

If he had not made this trip, this grand event in the Wei Dynasty might have been marred by unexpected changes, and it is very likely that the ups and downs of "Dakong Buddha" and the shocking changes in Buddhism would have been moved to the start of the grand event tomorrow.

Chen Fan in the corner was paying attention to another point. He looked at Chen Yi and asked, "Second brother, you just said that Zhou, Zhou Guanwu is not dead?"

Chen Yi turned around and looked at him, his smile faded, and he said calmly: "He is him, the Zhou family is the Zhou family, and you are you."

"Second brother, I..." Chen Fan understood the meaning of Chen Yi's words. He was warning him to remember his identity as a member of the Chen family.

"Does Big Brother know about this?"

"know."

"..."

Chen Fan's face changed, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

As a Confucian scholar at Kyoto Academy, he had read many books, including the Battle of Beixiongguan.

According to the book, "the Zhou family fought hard and were full of heroes", but now we hear that Zhou Guanwu is not dead, there must be some hidden story.

"What is the truth behind the Battle of Beixiongguan?"

"The truth is that Zhou Guanwu used the Demon Court to harm his own family and the Jingye Army." Chen Yi said calmly.

"What?! How could he..." Chen Fan's mind was greatly shocked and he obviously couldn't accept such a thing.

"This is true."

Chen Yi did not choose to conceal it. He did not want another member of the Chen family to be implicated because of the Zhou family. After all, he and his eldest brother had suffered too much because of this matter.

"Also, Zhou Guanwu's affairs are a secret of the imperial court, and not many people know about them. From now on, just pretend you don't know."

"What about my mother?" Chen Fan suppressed his shock and said bitterly, "She can't know either... Yes, she can't know!"

"Knowing too much will not do you and Auntie any good." Chen Yi looked at him and said in a slightly serious tone:
"Now the Zhou family is only supported by your great grandfather. In the future, the Zhou family... I'm afraid that there will be no descendants!"

He did not say that the emperor had not yet dealt with Zhou Tiance. After he went to the Zhou family tonight, there would be no more Zhou family blood in the world except Chen Yuan and Chen Fan.

As for Zhou Guanwu, Chen Yi had already marked his name with the word "death" on behalf of the King of Hell!

"I understand, second brother."

Chen Fan did not ask any more questions. What he had just heard was enough to make him uneasy. If he asked more, he was afraid that his Confucianism would collapse.

Lin Xueru, Xiao Xuanzhen and others looked at each other and changed the subject, talking about something related to the event.

Soon Chen Yi and others arrived outside the Zhenbei Palace.

Du Yanqing and Du Yan walked out quickly, followed by several palace guards and a carriage pulled by eight horses.

"Brother Yi, I heard that you just returned to Jingdu Prefecture. I was thinking of asking Yongnian to go to the Marquis' Mansion to look for you."

Du Yanqing looked around and greeted them familiarly: "Senior Sister Xiao and the two Junior Sisters Hua are here too. Are you Chen Fan?"

"Your Highness." Chen Fan forced a smile.

Du Yan noticed that Chen Yi and the others had strange expressions, so she forced Du Yanqing to shut up, waved her hand to let the palace guards retreat, and got directly into the Chen family carriage.

With the two of them joining, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and Chen Yi's experience in the Shiwanda Mountains also became Erhua's blackboard writing.

Afterwards, the carriage headed south, passed through Dongshi and Quchi, and arrived at the foot of the mountain where Dakong Temple was located.

Chen Yi and the others got off the carriage one by one, and immediately saw the surging crowds of people all around. Not only was the Dakong Temple packed with people, but even the nearby streets, pavilions, and pleasure boats were also full of people.

It’s just that the sons of noble families still have some concerns, while those wanderers are not bound by any rules. Some stand on the treetops, and some sit on the roofs.

When they saw Chen Yi and others, they became as excited as the travelers who had passed by before.

"I am so lucky to have the chance to see Lord Yingwuhou on his trip. This trip to Kyoto is really worthwhile."

"Hmm? Lord Yingwuhou?"

"hiss!"

"No wonder there are two Wuhou flags hanging on the carriage, one with 'Wu'an' and the other with 'Yingwu'. I thought they were hung by mistake."

"Except for the Chen family, who in Kyoto Prefecture dares to hang two Wuhou flags?"

"Originally, there could have been three sides... What a pity for that Jingye Hou."

"Shut up! Do you want to die?!"

Chen Yi ignored the discussions around him. After taking a quick look around, he gestured to Lin Xueru and the others, then stepped onto Dakong Temple with a calm expression.

The black-armored guards along the mountain road saw him from afar and knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Lord Yingwu Hou!"

In their eyes there was only Chen Yi, and they didn't even take into account the Prince of Zhenbei Du Yanqing and Princess Du Yan who were following beside them.

"No need to be so polite, get up." Chen Yi walked past them and said calmly.

"Yes, my lord!"

The uniformity of their words and actions, coupled with the imposing presence of the man in black armor and black face, immediately suppressed the discussions of the surrounding martial artists and noble families.

For a moment, the entire foot of the Dakong Temple mountain was silent, with only the crisp footsteps of Chen Yi and others moving forward.

Seeing this, Lin Xueru and Flower Fairy stared at Chen Yi with their beautiful eyes. Xiao Xuanzhen curled his lips secretly, but he had to admit Chen Yi's prestige in the court and in the world.

Hua Youxiang looked a little excited. She looked around and kept muttering "scary, scary". If she didn't perform well in the event, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to pass her own test.

Chen Fan had a complicated expression, his mind was still affected by Zhou Guanwu's incident. Seeing the movements around him, he couldn't help but sigh.

If he had the same talent as his second brother, no, even if he had the same talent as his eldest brother, he would have some confidence.

It's a pity that he doesn't even have the qualifications to attend the event, which is a pity.

Du Yan and Du Yanqing smiled at each other. They only had respect for Chen Yi in their hearts, not even any envy.

They have known Chen Yi for many years and they all know that Chen Yi's efforts are by no means as easy as the world sees.

"These are what Brother Yi deserves."

At this moment, most of the wanderers and noble families around were envious when they saw this scene.

It’s just that some people want to replace him, while some people see that Chen Yi is deeply desperate in his heart.

"That's what a man should do!"

"What a joke—just you?"

"The more talented one is, the more one can feel the gap between them and the 'Little Sword Immortal'. It can be said to be a huge chasm."

A Confucian scholar sighed: "The mediocre people look at him like a man sitting in a well looking at the sky, while the proud people look at him like an ant looking at the sky!"

"We are far inferior to him!"
