I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 139 - 101: The 4th Counterattack Mission (Please Subscribe)_3

Junior Sister, as the third ranking of the "Ten Taoist Immortals," your cultivation talent is by no means lacking. How can you only have him on your mind?

Just then, a voice came from the side: "Is there any chance he will run to Taixu Peak to find you?"

Before Xiao Xuanzhen could react, she recognized the slightly familiar voice.

Then, she felt Lin Xueru beside her dash off, so swiftly that a fierce breeze tousled her long hair.

When she looked again, she noticed her junior sister Lin already plunged into someone’s embrace.

Chen Yi!

Xiao Xuanzhen recognized the man and turned her head away with a pout.

She wanted to take back what she had just thought—such a person he’s not!

"Brother Yi, how did you get here?" Lin Xueru asked with a sweet smile.

"Of course, I came to see you."

Chen Yi steadied Lin Xueru, then took out a jade pendant from his Sumeru Bag and placed it in her hand.

"A gift for you."

He also transmitted sound to instruct: "There are three folds of Sword Intent sealed by my master on this. Use it carefully and don’t lose it."

Yes, Chen Yi had given the life-saving magic artifact that Li Qingzhou had given him to Lin Xueru.

Originally, when he was in Jizhou Prefecture, he prepared a hairpin for the little girl.

But after seeing the contents of the counterattack mission on the panel, he changed his mind.

The hairpin might look good, but the little girl’s safety was more important.

"What about you, Brother Yi?"

Holding the jade pendant, Lin Xueru felt a warm sensation in her heart, but she started to worry about Chen Yi’s safety.

"Don’t worry, I won’t need it for protection."

Chen Yi smiled back at her, motioning for her to keep the jade pendant close.

Indeed, that was the case.

Li Qingzhou’s Sword Intent was formidable, but it was only a temporary help to him.

Once he completes this counterattack mission, his Sword Dao will reach the Divine Power Realm, and his strength will be sufficient to protect himself.

If at that time, he encounters an enemy he can’t defeat, even Li Qingzhou’s Sword Intent pendant would probably be of no help.

Better to leave it to the little girl to safeguard her safety.

"Thank you, Brother Yi." Lin Xueru’s eyes shone like starlight directly reflecting Chen Yi, happily securing the jade pendant.

Xiao Xuanzhen came over, looking at Chen Yi.

"Since you’ve come to Taixu Peak, have a fight with me."

Chen Yi ignored her challenge and took a hairpin from his Sumeru Bag to give to her.

"This is for you."

Xiao Xuanzhen’s face froze for a moment, glanced at Lin Xueru out of instinct, then said: "Who wants your gift?"

Despite her words, she honestly took the hairpin.

Her act of saying one thing but doing another amused both the little girl and Chen Yi.

"I...I just think this hairpin has issues, I want to check it."

"Yes, Senior Sister is indeed like this," Lin Xueru nodded her head.

Chen Yi laughed even louder.

Xiao Xuanzhen glared at him with embarrassment, casually inserting the hairpin on her head and shaking it a few times:

"Humph, you’re honest, no underhanded tricks."

"Hahaha..."

"I’ve told you that’s really what I was thinking, you guys..."

With laughter and chatter among them, the fight naturally fizzled out.

Chen Yi inquired about Lin Xueru’s and Xiao Xuanzhen’s cultivation progress, learning that they had both cultivated the Taixu Eight Skills to great success, he felt relieved.

"I’m looking forward to your performance in the sect’s minor exam."

For a long time, Chen Yi rarely paid such attention to the cultivation of those around him.

To be precise, ever since his Sword Dao reached great success, he did not feel much urgency, confident that in the future, he could "overcome many with a single force."

Yet today’s mission content had given him a wake-up call.

Not because of the news of "Zhan Hongxiu and others’ death," but Chen Yi thought of something else—

His master Li Qingzhou’s cultivation in Sword Dao was so strong, but still not enough to influence the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield!

And according to the panel, Li Qingzhou wasn’t one of the five Killing Gods on the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield decades later.

This means that there are many strong people in that place.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi lost any joy in his imminent ascension to the Sword Dao Divine Power Realm.

After all, even with his Sword Dao advancement, his strength would not surpass Li Qingzhou.

Then the problems his master can’t solve, if they become his...

"People who don’t need to take the sect minor exam say nice things," Xiao Xuanzhen muttered.

"Senior Sister," Lin Xueru looked at her, saying reproachfully: "Brother Yi is not as you imagine."

"Alright, alright, not at all… I’ll drop it."

Xiao Xuanzhen watched them with disinterest, leaving them to be alone, and turned away.

After walking far, she touched the hairpin on her head again, a coy expression appearing on her charming face.

It’s just a hairpin; I’ll return a better item next time!

It must be a magic artifact!

Chen Yi and Lin Xueru watched Xiao Xuanzhen drift away, and both laughed.

After the laughter.

Lin Xueru looked at Chen Yi, feeling that he was somewhat different, and asked, "Brother Yi, have you encountered something?"

Chen Yi thought to himself that the little girl’s intuition was sharp, but shook his head: "It’s nothing."

The matters of the panel, he wouldn’t divulge to anyone.

Not just the intangible pressure, but also he did not wish for those yet-to-happen events to affect the people around him.

After a moment.

Chen Yi thought for a while, then asked: "If you find out one day that with high cultivation comes burdens you shouldn’t have to bear, would you regret it?"

Lin Xueru looked at him, pondering seriously.

"Then, would Brother Yi have to bear it too?"

"Probably."

"Then I won’t regret it," Lin Xueru smiled.

"If I take on some, I can help Brother Yi."

Chen Yi’s lips curved into a smile, he patted her shoulder, gently saying:

"Then go back and rest well, no need to rush cultivation."

Lin Xueru knew her Brother Yi had something on his mind, but she didn’t ask, just cheerfully saying:

"Mm, you should go back too, Brother Yi."

After saying this, she turned and trotted off.

Outside the chamber, Lin Xueru turned around and once again cautioned Chen Yi from a distance: "Be careful when descending the mountain."

Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand, turning to walk down the mountain.

He knew that Lin Xueru misunderstood the purpose of that question.

But correspondingly, he also understood the little girl’s intention.

"This is good too."

Chen Yi treaded down the mountain path amid the snow falling beneath the dim clouds.

Only he knew that without his intervention and changes, the little girl likely wouldn’t have met the qualifications for the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield recruitment.

That was the reason he posed the question.

Because of him, the little girl might have to take on burdens she shouldn’t have to.

Chen Yi gazed at the snowstorm outside the mountain, gripping the sword hilt tighter instinctively, murmuring softly:

"Hope I can protect your peace for a lifetime!"
