I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 211 - 130: Causal Loop (Please Subscribe)_2

"You?!"

Xiao Xuanzhen, standing outside the window looking at the two people in the room, glared at him with a huff.

"Senior Sister arrives at just the right time," Chen Yi was secretly pleased and asked, "How long have I been lying down?"

"Ten days!"

"That long?"

"You know about it, huh?" Xiao Xuanzhen said through Sound Transmission with irritation, "If you rest any longer, you might as well forget about going to that secret realm."

Chen Yi didn’t mind her comment and continued to ask, "Tell me what happened afterward."

Xiao Xuanzhen pursed her lips, reluctantly not wanting to bother with him, but eventually, she honestly recounted the events.

After hearing everything, Chen Yi frowned, "Over thirty commoners died, were the casualties that severe?"

"Mm," Xiao Xuanzhen nodded, "but don’t worry about it, it’s all because of the Evil Demons from Bai Shen Sect."

"If it weren’t for your intervention, the ones dead would have been the Heir to the King of the Southern Garrison and the ’Great Void Buddha Child’ Fu Chen, and the outcome would have been much worse."

Chen Yi fell silent for a moment, and then continued asking, "Do you know why they would ambush Gongye Shou?"

"How would I know? Isn’t it very normal for the Evil Demons from Bai Shen Sect to attack the Heavenly Prides?"

...

Chen Yi rolled his eyes secretly knowing he wouldn’t get a clear answer if he continued asking, so he simply didn’t pursue the matter further.

He always felt there was another reason behind Bai Shen Sect’s ambush on Gongye Shou, as it wasn’t hard to deduce some secrets from the conversation that night among several demons.

"Little Sword Immortal, my junior brother, I advise you not to think too much about this and focus on healing your wounds."

"Also, did you know already that Uncle Gu and Master Sun were coming along?"

Chen Yi nodded without hiding anything and briefly recounted his earlier meeting with Ancient Tao and Sun Daofu.

"What?"

"Those demon attacks also involved Ye Ningxiu from Yuhua Immortal Sect?!"

Xiao Xuanzhen frowned deeply, with an icy expression, she said, "No wonder when I asked Master why they didn’t act that time, the two of them were evasive."

"So there was this kind of inside story! It’s infuriating!"

No helping it.

Chen Yi had to spend some effort comforting her, saying, "Until the Sect concludes its deliberations, we cannot declare war on Yuhua Immortal Sect."

"However, we can’t let them get off easy; if we encounter the Heavenly Prides from Yuhua Immortal Sect during the journey to the secret realm, this junior brother surely won’t let them off so easily."

"That’s more like it."

As Xiao Xuanzhen spoke, her gaze fell on the clasped hands, showing a rather annoyed look.

She didn’t understand why Hua was so good to him, standing guard by the bedside for days and nights without closing her eyes.

And then that scoundrel woke up and still didn’t let go of her hand.

Scoundrel, scoundrel, scoundrel...

Annoyed, Xiao Xuanzhen entered the guest room, with a mischievous smile on her face, she said:

"Hua, look quickly. ’Little Sword Immortal’ has already woken up!"

"Ah?"

Hua Xianzi abruptly woke up and then, upon seeing Chen Yi with eyes open, her face lit up with joy.

"Senior Brother, you’re awake. Do you feel discomfort anywhere?"

As she spoke, she noticed she was still holding Chen Yi’s hand, her face flushed with crimson.

"I, I’ll go call Master over to check on you..."

Seeing Hua Xianzi hurriedly running off, Chen Yi glared at Xiao Xuanzhen.

"Senior Sister, it’s been a while since we’ve sparred, I truly miss it!"

"This senior sister is magnanimous and never picks on the wounded!"

Xiao Xuanzhen snorted, finished her words, and then turned, leaving him with the back of her head, bouncing off with her hands behind her.

Chen Yi got up and shook his fist at her retreating figure, muttering under his breath.

"Sooner or later, I’ll show you..."

...

However, before Chen Yi had the chance to "show" Xiao Xuanzhen, by the time his injuries were mostly healed, Gongye Shou and the others arrived together.

Behind them were Xu Sannian, Pang Longxiang, "Great Void Buddha Child" Fu Chen, and others, all of whom were youths from that night at Wangchun Building.

"It’s good that Brother Yi is alright; we owe you for stepping in this time, keeping us safe."

Gongye Shou couldn’t think of a better way to address him, so like what Du Yanqing and others used to call him, he addressed him as "Brother Yi."

"Brother Yi is blessed; nothing could have happened to you."

Xu Sannian had grown a lot but still looked as naive and harmless as when he was a child.

He flashed a grin and said, "After my father heard about this incident, he specifically told me to come and give you his regards."

"Only because he’s busy with military affairs at South-Garrison Pass did he not come himself."

Chen Yi looked them over, smiling while waving his hand, "Such formality from you all makes it difficult for me to bring up old scores."

"..."

Gongye Shou and the others chuckled dryly, aware of the "old scores" he was referring to.

Fu Chen, however, sat there idly, his gaze fixed on Chen Yi, his face as tranquil as an ancient well.

After the laughter subsided, Gongye Shou curiously asked, "Brother Yi, did you come specifically to rescue us?"

Chen Yi nodded and explained what he had heard earlier.

"I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing just as I arrived in Wangchuan County."

"It seems my fate is not yet sealed," Gongye Shou sighed, "If Brother Yi hadn’t rescued us, we all might have died in Wangchun Building."

Xu Sannian nodded, "Yes, if the Princely Heir had died here, it would likely lead to profound repercussions."

Chen Yi glanced at the two, pondering, "Is there another secret reason the Evil Demons from Bai Shen Sect came to assassinate this time?"

Gongye Shou and the rest exchanged glances, then nodded.

"We can’t hide it from Brother Yi."

"The recent disturbances in the Southern Barbarian Land are the reason Bai Shen Sect and the others came."

"Oh?" Chen Yi said with suspicion, "Is it demons or barbarians?"

Gongye Shou hesitated before answering, "Both."

"There are certain secrets involved, and I’m afraid I can’t divulge too much."

"I can only tell you this: the Southern Barbarian Sect isn’t united; it’s roughly divided into three factions."

"My mother is part of one, which advocates allying with the Wei Dynasty to deal with the demons in the Southern Barbarian Land."

"The second is led by the High Priest, also the most powerful faction within the Southern Barbarian Sect. They intend to ally with the demons and invade the Central Plains."
