I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 201 - 126 Old Friend Heading South (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Xie Changle, having just finished tending to the horses, gazed at Chen Yi with a complex expression in his eyes.

In his view, his junior brother was an undeniable blockhead.

Though he didn’t know what Chen Yi was thinking, on this journey, Xie Changle had long labeled him as "unappreciative of romantic feelings."

Anyone with eyes could see the affection Hua Xianzi had for Chen Yi.

The silent care, the meticulous nurturing, and thinking on behalf of Chen Yi at every turn...

All of it deeply wounded Xie Changle’s heart!

Consider Xie Changle’s looks that were splendid and outstanding, charming and dashing, and his initiation into the Grand Void Sect at Sword Edge Mountain.

By birth and appearance alone, he surpassed his previous life, a top-notch candidate.

Yet dammit, the outcome wasn’t as good as in his past life, where at least at the Bai Shen Sect, he had a whole queue of demonesses falling over themselves for him.

Then look at Chen Yi.

He was just a bit handsomer, slightly stronger, and born into a slightly better nobility...

Just a tiny, tiny difference, that’s all.

How could he have received the favor of two among the "Ten Taoist Immortals"?

Not to mention Lin Xueru, but Hua Xianzi, the junior sister, was a prominent disciple of Dan Peak Mountain.

In terms of talents, strength, figure, and looks, she was the topmost of selections, so why was her heart tied to Junior Brother Chen?

This wasn’t fair!

Like now, the moment they arrived to rest at the tavern of the station.

As soon as Chen Yi sat down, a new set of chopsticks and bowl appeared in front of him.

The moment he picked up the chopsticks, more meat and vegetables were added to his bowl.

When his cup was touched, it was filled with tea.

This kind of treatment made him look more like a young master than Chu Ming and the others.

At least those people were only accompanied by guards when they traveled from Jizhou Prefecture to the Southern Barbarian Land, without any maids in attendance.

Especially knowing Hua Xianzi’s true identity and looks, Xie Changle’s envy towards Chen Yi was so intense it was almost torturous.

"Sister, have some water."

Hua Xianzi sat down beside Chen Yi and poured a cup of tea, saying.

Although her face was veiled, that soft, tender voice made all the resting Jianghu guests in the tavern shiver.

Those Jianghu guests glanced at the group of four, looking between Hua Xianzi and Xiao Xuanzhen, undecided which of them had spoken before.

Xiao Xuanzhen ignored the surrounding gazes and watched Hua Xianzi with a strange expression, asking:

"Sister, he has hands and feet, do you really need to wait on him like this?"

Hua Xianzi just smiled and then lowered her head to continue eating her meal.

"Junior brother, what do you have to say?" Xiao Xuanzhen helplessly turned to Chen Yi and asked.

Of course, he should use his mouth.

Chen Yi’s mind was preoccupied, and he responded without good humor: "You might as well start eating some food; all these delicacies still can’t stuff your mouth."

Underneath Xiao Xuanzhen’s veil, her eyes glared at him with a bit of threat, as if to say—be careful, I’m watching over you for Xue Ru.

Chen Yi ignored her, sipping tea, and asked: "Hua, now that we’ve entered the Wangchuan Territory, how much longer until we reach your home?"

"Very soon," Hua Xianzi’s eyes fluttered with a hint of shyness, "At most half an hour and we will arrive."

She was somewhat nervous about returning home, but now with brother Chen Yi by her side, the "closer to home, the greater the apprehension" feelings subsided.

It’s like she felt when the neighbor’s sister she knew since childhood returned after marrying - a mix of odd and shy feelings.

"I never asked you, but I remember back then at the inn outside the sect, it was only the three of you sisters."

"Didn’t your family send someone to escort you all at that time?"

Chen Yi recalled that when Hua Youxiang and Hua Yourong came to steal food, indeed there wasn’t an adult to look after them.

Hua Xianzi’s gaze shifted slightly, a bit unnaturally, she said: "Our family only let us travel with a caravan from the same town."

"The caravan?"

"Yes, it was a team of bodyguards, we left them when we got near Jizhou Prefecture."

Thinking back to that experience, Hua Xianzi felt both fortunate and joyous.

With adults accompanying them, they wouldn’t have lost their travel funds.

But then, maybe she and her sisters wouldn’t have become so close with junior brother Chen Yi as they are now.

Hua Xianzi, looking at the calm Chen Yi, felt even more grateful in her heart.

It seems he has saved her life twice already.

Such a tremendous act of kindness, she might not be able to repay it in her entire life, right?

"So it is."

Chen Yi nodded without saying more and continued eating on his own.

At this time, the martial world guests sitting behind them realized they were not to be trifled with, and withdrew their gazes, muttering quietly amongst themselves.

"Judging by the attire of these few, they probably are headed to the secret realm in the Southern Barbarian Land, aren’t they?"

"Do you even need to ask?"

"Although they are all dressed in casual clothes, I’d bet they definitely come from the holy lands of sects."

"Have you heard that the ’Little Sword Immortal’ Chen Yi has also descended the mountain?"

"That’s right, he’s added new achievements on the Heavenly Pride List a few days ago, truly remarkable."

"Did you hear about the more than a thousand demons, including over ten who are Great Demons from the Second Grade Divine Travel Realm?"

"Who told you that? I can assure you, the demons that went to assassinate the ’Little Sword Immortal’ numbered two thousand."

"Hundreds of demons from the Divine Travel Realm and over a hundred from the Third Grade Heavenly Union Realm, plus several Evil Demons from the Bai Shen Sect ’Demoness’."

"..."

Upon hearing the discussions behind him, Chen Yi’s expression turned strange.

Don’t these martial world guests look at the Heavenly Pride List?

Thousands of Great Demons, do they really think he can handle all that as a Fourth Grade Spirit Acupuncture Realm Martial Artist?

"Pfft."

Xiao Xuanzhen, who evidently also heard those words, sent a sound transmission laughing, saying: "’Little Sword Immortal’ Junior Brother, did you take on a thousand by yourself? Well, I should thank you for saving my life."

"Are they stupid, and you’re stupid too?" Chen Yi transmitted back bluntly.

"You?!"

Xiao Xuanzhen was annoyed, jabbing at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, clearly unhappy.

Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy...

"With the arrival of these Heavenly Prides, our Chuan Mansion will probably get lively for a while."

The well-informed martial world guest nodded in agreement, saying, "Don’t talk about the distant future, right now a lot of Heavenly Prides are already causing quite a stir."

"Mr. Liu, do tell, which Heavenly Prides are there? So we can also go and admire them."

Mr. Liu, the martial world guest, signaled to pour the wine and took a sip before speaking, "Just the other day, a little monk came to our Wangchuan County."

"This monk, with skin as fair as jade and wearing a white Kasaya, went to the Lianhua Temple alone to discuss the Dao with the abbot there."

"Do you guess what happened?"

"Without even half a day, the little monk left, and then some pilgrims went there, only to find all the monks at Lianhua Temple dead, nearly scaring them to death on the spot."

"Ah? Did that little monk kill them? Why did he do that?"

Mr. Liu spoke mysteriously, "After the Night Watch Department conducted an investigation, it turned out that what had been occupying Lianhua Temple were not monks, but a group of evil demons!"

"That ever-smiling fat abbot was none other than the infamous ’Joyful Buddha’ Le Lei from the martial world!"

"It’s him?" everyone exclaimed.

Even Chen Yi, upon hearing this familiar name, felt somewhat surprised.

He had not expected the ’Joyful Buddha’ who fled Jiangnan Prefecture to be hiding in Chuan Mansion.

"Poor people of Wangchuan County, worshipping the Buddha, have been deceived all along, and I heard many have fallen victim to their wicked deeds."

"Mr. Liu, what does this have to do with the Heavenly Prides?"

"Don’t rush, the little monk mentioned earlier has quite the background — he is the ’Great Void Buddha Child’ Fu Chen from the Kyoto Prefecture."

"What else?"

"Also, the Heir to the King of the Southern Garrison, Gongye Shou, who ranks forty-third on the Earthly List, is said to have come to Chuan Mansion."

"..."

Hearing this, Chen Yi thought to himself how coincidental it was that both "Great Void Buddha Child" Fu Chen and Gongye Shou were in Chuan Mansion.

He wondered if they were still in Wangchuan County; if so, it might be an opportunity to meet them.

"Great Void Buddha Child" aside, Gongye Shou was someone he remembered for a long time.

To this day, Chen Yi still remembered how he was conspired against by Gongye Shou and others at the Xingwu Academy.

If he saw him, he might have to settle some old scores!

Meanwhile, Gongye Shou, who had just arrived in Wangchuan County, looked at the modest county in front of him and sneezed several times unexpectedly.

Who was mentioning him now?
