I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 421 - 185 Burn Incense! (Subscription Request)_4

Chen Taixing scrutinized him closely, saying enthusiastically, "You’ve grown taller and even more handsome. You are truly the seed of our Chen Family, haha..."

"If your brother heard this, he’d be ready to smack you one."

"Your Highness is too kind, haha..."

At this moment, Chen Yi turned to look behind him and only then noticed that not only was Chen Taixing present, but there were also carriages bearing the flags of Prince Zhenbei and Duke Xing.

Duchess Xing, Zhu Yu, leaped out of the carriage and upon seeing Lin Xueru among the crowd, her eyes immediately reddened:

"Ru Ru!"

"Mother!"

Lin Xueru, disregarding everything else, ran over to her.

And Duke Xing, Du Qing, came in person. As soon as he made an appearance, all the guards outside the city gates knelt down.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

Even the onlookers around knelt down, except for Gu Tiangang and Cao Abao, who stood aloof, unaffected by the affair.

Du Yanqing and Du Yan also gathered around, kneeling on the ground.

"Rise!"

Du Qing, clad in purple robes, exuded a majestic presence, with a thin beard on his chin.

Compared to when Chen Yi was a child, he sensed that Du Qing had aged considerably, yet the aura of authority was even more evident.

Fortunately, Du Qing did not intend to stay for long. After receiving Du Yanqing and Du Yan, he exchanged a few pleasantries, inviting Chen Yi to visit, and then he boarded his carriage and left.

Duchess Xing, Zhu Yu, however, had more to say and the more she looked at Chen Yi, the more she took a liking to him, repeatedly insisting that he must visit their home.

"Your Uncle Lin has been resting at home lately. Remember to visit us when you have time."

"Don’t worry, Aunt."

Chen Yi, seeing the little girl’s eyes brimming with tears, secretly made a funny face at her, causing her to burst into laughter and lightening the mood of the family reunion slightly.

Subsequently, he boarded the carriage and returned to Duke Wu’an Mansion with Chen Taixing.

Only Fairy Hua Xianzi and Hua Youxiang remained in the carriage, following Gu Tiangang and Cao Abao to the Grand Void Sect’s residence in Kyoto Prefecture.

"Uncle, how did you know I was coming back today?"

"After your elder brother returned, I had people watching all the city gates. They spotted you just as you arrived outside Dongsheng Gate."

"Has elder brother already returned?"

"For a while now..."

After Chen Yi and the others left, those left behind could only sigh with admiration.

Some people are just incomparable.

It was only at this moment that the Jianghu Guests remembered —

The rumored Little Sword Immortal not only had exceptional cultivation talent, but his status and identity surpassed most of the Heavenly Prides!

"Damn, I forgot, the ’Little Sword Immortal’ is a scion of the Marquis, and it’s likely he will succeed the Duke Wu’an in the future."

"Hard to say, with his talent, he’s probably destined for that place."

"Which place?"

"Only those who know can know; don’t ask if you don’t!"

However, amidst these discussions, some out-of-place remarks emerged.

"’Little Sword Immortal’ Chen Yi is too arrogant for his own good, flaunting his return to the Capital City. It’s improper!"

"You’re right. Those who don’t know might think he’s already capable of inheriting the position of Duke Wu’an!"

"Are you gentlemen perhaps overlooking the presence of Prince Zhenbei? If Chen Yi’s display is considered extravagant, wouldn’t the Princely Heir Du Yanqing be even less aware of protocol?"

"Ha, well, I think the ’Little Sword Immortal’ should keep a lower profile and not give others something to hold against him..."

...

Without further ado, Chen Yi went straight to Duke Wu’an Mansion.

As soon as he entered, he saw that it was crowded with people, not only the second uncle and third uncle from the main branch, but representatives from all the collateral branches, as well.

Even Old Madam Chen, who was of advanced age, had people support her to come over.

"Grandmother, uncles, great-uncles, and elders..." Chen Yi greeted each of them in turn, but he felt something odd in his heart as he hadn’t expected such a grand welcome.

At the same time, he noticed that besides these people, his first aunt Zhou Wanyi, his elder brother Chen Yuan, and his younger brother Chen Fan were all absent.

"Yi Er, come with grandmother to pay respects to our ancestors."

Old Madam Chen, leaning on her staff, tugged at his hand, indicating for Chen Taixing to follow behind. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Chen Yi, suppressing the odd feeling in his heart, did not decline.

He hadn’t been home for a long time, and according to the mansion’s customs, he indeed should visit the ancestral hall to offer incense.

However, what he didn’t notice was that as they were headed towards the ancestral hall, a young man stood in the backyard corridor, gazing from afar.

"Is that my second brother, Chen Yi?"

"Grandmother is so partial..."

When elder brother Chen Yuan returned earlier, he did not go to the ancestral hall to offer incense!
