I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 231 - 138 Supreme Goodness is Like Water (Please Subscribe)_2

Kyoto Prefecture, no, it is the supreme ruler within the Imperial City who will not tolerate a loss of balance between the civil servants and the martial marquises.

Xie Dongan’s mind involuntarily surfaced with the last lesson his grandfather Xie Jing taught him before he left.

"The highest good is like water, benefiting all things without contending."

He remembered the serene look on his grandfather’s face as he asked him for his understanding of this statement.

Xie Dongan’s response at the time was "The highest virtue of a person is to be like water, nourishing all things."

But his grandfather, the Left Minister Xie Jing, who was second only to one on the court, said:

"Wrong! Good and evil both reside within oneself, where is there so much nobility?"

"The so-called ’highest good is like water’ is nothing but someone wanting you to demand this of yourself."

Xie Dongan was stunned for a long time before he finally asked, what good does this kind of demand do?

"My dear grandson, it’s better for one person to become a dragon than for everyone to be like dragons!"

"The world is a board, and all people are chess pieces, chess pieces that do not contend will not give rise to a ’great dragon’ or ’dragon slaying skills’!"

Xie Dongan also remembered how his grandfather, with a smile, finished speaking and then pointed upwards, the implication could not have been clearer.

And this statement applies equally well to the court.

Black and white pieces, like civil servants and martial marquises, battle each other.

What the supreme ruler wants to see is a balance among the court’s ministers—a situation without contention.

If the balance is lost...

"He will take action!"

Thinking about this, Xie Dongan looked up at the white clouds in the sky, his hair ends tousled by the wind.

In fact, when he met Chen Yi, he did indeed take precautions.

Not with anything else.

But with his speculation about the death of Zhou Guanwu and the covert struggle between Duke Jingye Zhou Tiance and Duke Wuan Chen Taiping.

"An, what are you thinking? You weren’t scared by that ’Little Sword Immortal’, were you?"

Jiang Ye noticed Xie Dongan’s expression and asked.

"You’re the one who got scared!" the cross-dressed princess huffed: "An is currently the Earthly List First, how could he be afraid of Chen Yi, who’s Earthly List Third?"

"But..."

"There are no buts!"

Xie Dongan looked at his two companions and said helplessly: "Both of you, go read books!"

Jiang Ye and the cross-dressed princess stopped abruptly, their faces downcast as if wanting to say something, but were blocked by the prompt "shut up."

Then, they rigidly opened their booklets and began to read.

An, we were wrong, please dispel the Confucian law!!

In the camp.

"Great Void Buddha Child" Fu Chen watched Chen Yi with a serene expression, Buddha Light faintly visible in his eyes, glints of gold overflowing his pupils.

Before he could see clearly, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes.

Fu Chen hurriedly closed his eyes and brought his hands together, chanting Amitabha Buddha.

Even so, two streaks of blood still spilled from the corners of his eyes, startling the surrounding youngsters into exclaiming.

"Buddha Child, what is this..." Gongye Shou turned back to look at Fu Chen, asking in surprise.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

"Your Princely Highness, do not be alarmed, this monk is alright."

With his eyes still closed, Fu Chen smiled and said: "Just now, this monk was impetuous to observe the ’Little Sword Immortal’ practitioner."

Even though he said this, his heart was still filled with doubts.

He didn’t understand Chen Yi’s intention to display ’enlightenment’ upon arriving here.

Hearing this, Gongye Shou and the others exchanged glances and swiftly had someone help him into a tent to rest.

When things calmed down again, Xie Changle hopped down from the Red Blood Leopard and, looking in the direction of the "Great Void Buddha Child", pouted:

"The little monk is not honourable, wanting to peep at Junior Brother’s enlightenment, serves him right!"

Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi likewise carefully descended, looking at Chen Yi who still sat on the Red Blood Leopard, and whispered:

"Changle, what do we do now?"

After thinking, Xie Changle, leading the Red Blood Leopard to a corner of the camp, said:

"Junior Brother Chen’s enlightenment must not be disturbed."

"Hua, you stay next to the leopard, Junior Sister Xiao will set up an array, and I will stand guard outside."

Hua Xianzi nodded, jumped back onto the back of the Red Blood Leopard, and watched Chen Yi without blinking an eye.

Xiao Xuanzhen stopped messing around and honestly took out a set of Array Flags to set up a concealing and isolating array.

Xie Changle, after seeing Chen Yi and the other two disappear, apologized to Gongye Shou and the others.

"My Junior Brother has inconvenienced you, I hope your Princely Highness can forgive us."

Gongye Shou naturally did not put on airs, simply saying it was fine, and even had a table and chairs prepared for him to sit and guard within the camp.

Pang Longxiang said with a smile of envy: "Brother Yi is truly remarkable. Both being martial marquises, the gap between us and him is growing wider and wider."

Pang Longxiang laughed heartily: "Do you think, if we had all together joined the Grand Void Sect back then, that we too could be like him now?"

Gongye Shou shook his head, laughing as he said: "It’s not as simple as you think."

"Yes, Brother Yi was called the ’Little Sword Immortal’ back in the Capital City, we cannot compare with him."

"He was justly loved by the Holy Emperor at the tender age of two."

Xie Changle heard this for the first time and hurriedly asked: "Did Junior Brother Chen meet him when he was little?"

"It’s more than just meeting," said Pang Longxiang dramatically: "The Holy Emperor even held him."

Speaking of which, he began to tell Xie Changle about how Chen Yi’s name was known throughout Kyoto Prefecture, and how he was courted by many of the nobility.

"Numerous suitors, Dukes, martial marquises, civil servant families..."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was mindful.

After hearing this for a while, Gongye Shou thought to himself, did the Holy Emperor at that time discern Chen Yi’s potential?

It must be so.

Back then, Gu Tiangang took good care of him at Xingwu Academy, likely because he noticed his Sword Dao Talent.

Thinking about it now, everything had hints to follow.

...

Above the sky, Gu Tiangang and Sun Daofu laughed heartily.

"Good, good, good, Junior Nephew Chen Yi truly possesses exceptional talent!"

"To have such enlightenment upon arriving at this True Dragon’s cultivation grounds is an auspicious sign!"
