I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 131 - 97 Chen Yi’s Preparation (Thanks to the Alliance Leader, the Old Salted Fish Who Idles Away) _2

Red Sleeve, Ning Xue, and a few other fellow disciples who knew him well also almost didn’t recognize him.

But Li Qingzhou did recognize him.

From the action of placing his hand on the Heavenly Blade, it was clear that he was undergoing an internal struggle at the time.

If Senior Brother Lv Cheng hadn’t cleaned up quickly, he might have reported to the Netherworld just after returning to Sword Edge Mountain.

Should I speak or not?

After Senior Brother Lv Cheng finished grooming and changed into a Daoist robe, he looked both handsome and suave.

The carefree aura about him made people light up at the sight.

At least, Chen Yi felt that if he were to wander in the Martial World in the future, he would want to be a Jianghu Guest like Senior Brother Lv Cheng.

"Junior Brother Chen Yi, I’ve heard much about your reputation even before coming down the mountain,"

Senior Brother Lv Cheng, with slightly dark skin and a brilliant smile, laughed heartily: "Now it seems you are even more extraordinary than the rumors."

Chen Yi knew he was referring to Sword Dao and replied with a smile: "Brother, you flatter me, it’s all thanks to Master’s excellent guidance."

Red Sleeve: "..."

Ning Xue: "..."

Others might not know, but they were aware.

Since Chen Yi joined the Sect, no one had taught him Sword Dao, he had not even seen Master’s face once.

Red Sleeve and Ning Xue exchanged glances, discreetly glanced towards Li Qingzhou not far away, and then relaxed seeing him not reacting.

Senior Brother Lv Cheng stroked his chin, muttering: "Master is somewhat biased, not forgetting to teach the little apprentice Sword Dao before going there."

Just as he finished speaking, Li Qingzhou’s voice faintly came over.

"Lv Cheng, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, your Sword Dao must have improved a lot."

"Come, let your Master take a look."

"??"

Lv Cheng looked questioningly at Red Sleeve, Ning Xue, and Chen Yi, what’s going on?

The three exchange glances and uniformly shook their heads.

However, the expressions on their faces were extremely similar, all trying to hold back laughter.

Chen Yi didn’t expect that by casually mentioning Li Qingzhou, Lv Cheng would take it seriously.

The result goes without saying.

In less than thirty minutes, Lv Cheng walked back, carrying his Yellow Bamboo Sword, appearing soulless.

The long hair that reached his waist was chopped off by more than half, now at shoulder length.

"Why so? Why?!"

"Pfft hahaha..."

Seeing his expression, Red Sleeve couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore.

Of course, Chen Yi laughed as well.

But he was sly, laughing while slipping away.

Thus, when Lv Cheng, who learned the truth from Ning Xue, couldn’t find him, he ended up laughing at himself.

After this incident, Lv Cheng quickly became familiar with many brothers on Sword Edge Mountain.

Especially with Hua Youxiang and Li Mingyue, the two Junior Sisters.

Whenever their practice ended, they would drag Red Sleeve, bring four bottles of good wine to find Lv Cheng, and ask him to share his experiences traveling in the Martial World.

Whenever this happened, Chen Yi would also follow, listening to the interesting stories of Senior Brother Lv Cheng’s travels below the mountain.

"Actually, there wasn’t anything too interesting, but there were plenty of dangers and some gains."

Lv Cheng was very good at storytelling, vividly recounting some memorable experiences.

"The year I left the mountain, I headed south from Jiangnan Prefecture all the way to the Southern Barbarians’ territory."

"I originally thought it would be difficult to get along with the people there, but once I arrived, I realized most of the Barbarian Clan were very hearty and hospitable."

"As long as outsiders don’t cause trouble there with bad intentions, they are very welcoming."

Lv Cheng said with a smile: "I stayed there for a year, made many brothers, all famous local hunters."

"Sometimes, I’d go hunting in the mountains with them."

"The hunting mentioned by the Barbarian Clan here is different from ours, they don’t hunt wild animals, but demons."

"Demons?" Hua Youxiang widened her eyes and subconsciously drank a swig, "Sounds scary, right?"

"The first time, I was also startled, but got used to it after a few times."

Lv Cheng pulled out a necklace hanging around his neck full of teeth: "These are my trophies."

"The largest tooth is from a hundred-year-old demon python."

"So small?" Li Mingyue scrutinized it skeptically.

Red Sleeve explained with a smile: "Your Second Senior Brother must have only taken the tip of the tooth."

Lv Cheng nodded and smiled, "The hundred-year demon python is nearly a hundred feet long, and its fangs are three feet long; I wouldn’t dare hang it around my neck."

"Besides..."

Afterward, Lv Cheng briefly talked about the grudges between the Southern Barbarians and the demons, which also included the Southern Barbarian Sect and some information about Gongye Jiahong, the King of the Southern Garrison.

Mostly it was a summary, and he spoke more about his personal experiences.

Chen Yi listened quietly by the side, not talking much, just treating it as a story to listen to.

He wasn’t very interested in the affairs of the Martial World, but he was interested in the local customs, people, and sceneries of the Wei Dynasty.

If he were to travel everywhere, he would likely head straight for the famous mountains and rivers.

To see the scenery along the way, hear the local stories, and experience the different customs of each place.

However, the happy days are always so fleeting.

Half a month after Lv Cheng returned to Sword Edge Mountain, and one month before the Sect’s minor examination, he and Zhan Hongxiu both began to stay in the back mountain Daoist temple.

Chen Yi knew it must be something that Li Qingzhou had specifically instructed Zhan Hongxiu and Lv Cheng before they went to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

He had anticipated it, and wasn’t surprised by it.

Fortunately, he had already received the items prepared by Sun Zhengqiu, so he gathered Ning Xue, Hua Youxiang, and the other fellow disciples to start setting up.

In fact, Chen Yi didn’t do anything else; he just prepared a unique farewell banquet for Zhan Hongxiu and Lv Cheng.

It took two days to decorate the entire Sword Edge Mountain vibrantly and colorfully.

Somewhat similar to the Lantern Festival in the prefecture city at the foot of the mountain, but more distinctive.

More importantly, Chen Yi also prepared a huge copper furnace, started the fire early, and boiled a thick bone soup.

Nothing suits the late winter weather better than a copper furnace hotpot.

Nor is there anything better than everyone gathering together, drinking, eating, laughing, and talking, to dilute the sadness of farewell in everyone’s hearts.

In addition, there was famous wine from Jizhou Prefecture, guaranteed to make Zhan Hongxiu and Lv Cheng thoroughly enjoy themselves.

Everything was ready.

Ning Xue looked at the transformed Sword Edge Mountain, feeling a bit melancholic yet somewhat relieved.

"Junior brother has put in a lot of effort."

Chen Yi shook his head, "It’s nothing."

Compared to the daily cultivation Zhan Hongxiu and Lv Cheng have been practicing for decades, this occasional joy really is nothing.

Or perhaps.

Those summoned to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield are mostly in the same situation as Zhan Hongxiu and others.

Starting from a young age, relying on talent, effort, and racing against time to meet the requirements before turning thirty.

Unless one wanders like Senior Brother Lv, cultivating and improving along the way, this part of their journey must be very boring.

If it weren’t for Lin Xueru, Du Yanqing, Fairy Sisters, and Wang Yongnian being around him, Chen Yi would also find cultivation tedious.

Therefore, he wanted to make sure that Zhan Hongxiu and Lv Cheng had a good time before they left.

"I hope Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother will be safe and sound," Ning Xue turned her head and spoke softly.

"They will be."

Chen Yi comforted her, but was thinking about Jiang Yunni’s situation.

Sun Zhengqiu had inquired about Fairy Yun Ni’s background from the Four Directions Building.

As expected, her cultivation had advanced to the lower stage of the Third Grade Heavenly Union Realm, just meeting the minimum requirements for the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield.

After learning about this, Chen Yi had Sun Zhengqiu send a letter to her.

And soon, he received a reply from Fairy Yun Ni.

Thinking of the content of that reply, Chen Yi felt a bit odd—the tone of that reply was somewhat off.

"Senior, you finally remembered Yun Ni. I thought you had forgotten Yun Ni existed."

Just that one sentence nearly made it hard for Chen Yi to remain composed.

What’s with this resentful tone?

"Senior’s proposal, Yun Ni does not dare to disobey. Once Yun Ni gets there, she will be sure to contact Senior Sister Zhan and Senior Brother Lv."

"However, to clarify her identity, I ask Senior to give Yun Ni a token so that Yun Ni can gain the trust of Senior Sister."

"Yun Ni will go ahead and wait for you there."

Both the mention of a token and the later "waiting" made Chen Yi feel strange.

He had simply turned up to solve the problem with Ye Lin and somehow, it sounded as if he had done something wrong to Jiang Yunni?

Most crucially, he was only six years old at that time.

However, after some thought, Chen Yi still found a token for Sun Zhengqiu to deliver to Jiang Yunni.

After all, this counts as finding a helper for Zhan Hongxiu and others.

"So, I guess I was overthinking."

It must be!
