I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 46 - 41 Heading East (Please Follow)

Three days passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

The Duke Wuan Mansion was adorned with large red lanterns.

From the front gate to the front courtyard, the central hall, and then to the various courtyards of the back yard, all were decorated in celebratory colors.

On each lantern, two large characters were written—Wuan.

Additionally, on some branches of trees, the old butler had the house servants tie red ribbons.

Beneath the ribbons, pieces of paper were hung as "lantern riddles".

This was to allow the children from various courtyards within the Mansion to have a place to play after the family reunion dinner.

At the same time, the Old Lady of the Mansion hadn’t forgotten another important event after the Mid-Autumn Festival—Chen Yi’s departure to seek mentorship under the Grand Void Sect.

For this, she specially instructed every household in secret to prepare a gift as a farewell present for Chen Yi.

There was no shortage of eager responses.

Even some distant relatives, especially those from the fifth degree of kinship, prepared an extra gift for Xia Wanwan as a token of sentiment.

They were very aware that once Chen Yi joined the Grand Void Sect, Xia Wanwan’s status would also rise.

This was evident from the Old Lady’s three increases in the monthly stipend for Fanghua Garden.

Of course, they also prepared a gift for Zhou Wanyi, the principal wife, as a present for Chen Yuan’s successful admission to Wuliang Mountain.

It must be said, those who could stay in the Duke Wuan Mansion, if not extremely shrewd, had minds clear as mirrors.

At this moment, in Fanghua Garden.

"Yi Er, once you are inside the Grand Void Sect, remember to be careful about your safety."

As Xia Wanwan and Lu Luo packed Chen Yi’s clothes and belongings, she calmly cautioned him.

"Son remembers," Chen Yi obediently replied.

It is said, "When a child travels a thousand miles, the mother worries," and this is true in any world.

Although Xia Wanwan tried to hide it, he could still see her slight trembling, presumably fighting back tears.

Before long, as the sound of firecrackers came from the central courtyard.

Xia Wanwan paused, then forced a smile and said, "Let’s go, don’t let grandmother and the others hurry."

"Okay."

Chen Yi followed behind them, his heart also filled with a touch of melancholy, at a loss for how to comfort his birth mother.

After all, Xia Wanwan was not Chen Taiping...

Thinking for a long time, Chen Yi’s gaze fell on his wrist, his eyes lit up.

"Mother, may I give you a gift?"

"What is it?"

Chen Yi took off the Little Jade Sword that had been hanging on his wrist and handed it to her with a smile:

"This grab-week object, I give to you."

Although the Little Jade Sword held great significance for him, not only bringing him the ancestral soul’s blessing but also saving him from a calamity, it was ultimately too fragile.

The help it could provide him in the future was limited, better left with Xia Wanwan.

This would give her something to hold onto, and on the other hand, Chen Yi left three traces of Sword Intent on it.

Even though it was just the embryonic form of Sword Intent, it could still offer Xia Wanwan some protection.

Xia Wanwan smiled as she accepted it, hanging it on her wrist, "Good Yi Er..."

But as she smiled, her eyes reddened and eventually, tears flowed down her cheeks.

What she didn’t know was that the Little Jade Sword quietly lifted its tip towards Chen Yi as if wanting to poke him.

Chen Yi, feeling the connection, immediately gave it a few looks to console it.

"Little Jade Sword, don’t forget you are the ace Little Jade Sword."

"Now, the only one I can trust is you, and only you can stay by my mother’s side to protect her."

"Don’t worry, once I return with accomplishments, I will definitely give you a stronger material..."

Little Jade Sword: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, Gu Tiangang appeared outside Duke Wuan Mansion on time.

Accompanying him was Ning Xue, the talented Sword Dao practitioner from the Grand Void Sect.

Both wore Grand Void Sect Daoist robes.

Their black outer robes were embroidered with white silk, depicting a proudly rearing mountain tiger.

Before long, Chen Yi, amid a farewell from the many members of the Duke Wuan Mansion, boarded a carriage to accompany the Ancient Tao and Mr. Ning to the next location.

"Do you find it hard to let go?"

Ning Xue, clad in a Daoist robe, looked more elegantly plain compared to her previous attire of white, yet her stunning beauty and graceful figure were still undeniable.

"A bit."

Chen Yi was reminded of Xia Wanwan’s tearful smile before, which made him somewhat sentimental.

"Mr. Ning, how long have you been at the Grand Void Sect?"

"Many years," Ning Xue tilted her head and pondered, "Eleven Spring and Autumn Annals."

"Did you join the sect at the age of five?"

"Yes, unlike you noble youth, most of us joined after the age of five."

Speaking of which, Ning Xue seemed to recall something, and her beautiful face turned slightly serious.

"From now on, I’m no longer your teacher. Once you formally join The Path of the Grand Void, just address me as your senior sister."

"Senior sister?" Chen Yi was stunned, then smiled and nodded, "I will follow your lead."

He guessed she wanted to completely separate Xingwu Academy from the Grand Void Sect.

Senior sister it is, then, better than being called ’Madam’...

Gu Tiangang was very efficient, taking merely two hours to gather Du Yanqing, Lin Xueru, and others into the carriage.

Then, they headed east, bypassing Dakong Temple and leaving the Capital City Prefecture.

However, the carriage carried not only Chen Yi and other noble youth but also Twelfth Prince Wei Letian and Princess Wei Xiaoyun.

Thus, two teams of Black Armor Guard followed behind the carriage.

It was said that Emperor Wei, who had just returned from the hunting grounds behind the mountain to the Imperial Palace, had specifically arranged these guards.

Despite repeated rejections from Mr. Ancient Tao, the Black Armor Guard insisted on following them until they reached the Grand Void Path.

Of course, these matters were unrelated to Chen Yi and the others; their minds were already caught up in the scenery outside.

"How shabby!"

"Yeah, it’s nothing like what I imagined."

Their enthusiasm faded within less than two hours, their faces showing a hint of disappointment.

While the outside wasn’t as terrible as they described, it was indeed very different from the prosperous and splendid Capital City Prefecture.

The scenery along the official road was slightly old and not the beautiful rivers and mountains.

Most travelers hurried past, their clothes covered in dust.

Seeing their carriage from afar, those people would steer clear as if afraid of an encounter.

Ning Xue noticed their expressions and with a thought to their youth, instructed them:

"Because you’ve always stayed inside the Capital City Prefecture, accustomed to its prosperity and peace, you assume other prefectures are the same."

"But that’s not the case..."

Then, she selected some suitable topics from what she knew.

Apart from the recent droughts in Xijiang Prefecture and Jiangnan Prefecture, more instances involved demons invading counties and villages within state prefectures, causing extensive damage.

One case, in particular, left a deep impression on Chen Yi.

This happened in Jiangnan Prefecture before Ning Xue arrived in the Capital City Prefecture.

A demon, equivalent in strength to the eighth rank of the Nayuan Realm, took advantage of its small size to sneak into the prefecture city.

It slaughtered five families before it was captured by the Night Watch Department, claiming seventeen lives.

There were also powerful demons like the Drought Demon previously causing the droughts, and many such demons were hidden within the Wei Dynasty.

However, thanks to the protection of various Sects and prefecture cities, those intelligent and cunning demons generally did not act rashly.

More often, they would stealthily hunt a few humans, just to sate their hunger.

"These incidents that you do not see are the real Great Wei."

Ning Xue narrated in a calm manner, her heart also filled with numerous emotions.

She hoped they would adapt sooner.

Although the sect was also a haven, it would never be like their time in the Capital City Prefecture.

In the future, everything including food, clothing, shelter, transport, and cultivation would depend solely on themselves.

"So, that’s how it is."

Chen Yi looked out at the slightly dilapidated official roads and the passing travelers, gaining a clearer understanding of the world.

He wondered if the boss knew about these things when he left.

Probably that old steward-looking person would have reminded him, right?

"Brother Yi, Ru Ru will protect you," Lin Xueru, seeing his expression, suddenly leaned in and whispered.

Chen Yi was startled: "..."

What was the little girl thinking??
