I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 429 - 188 Unsheathe the Sword (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Chapter 429: Chapter 188 Unsheathe the Sword (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

In addition to his identity and cultivation, Xie Dongan and the others are simply troubled and unable to evade, they can only go along with it.

"Then I’ll penalize you by having you drink with me today."

Wang Yang glanced at the wine and dishes on the table, his eyes suddenly brightened up a bit, and he said with sparkling clarity.

"Alright..."

"Come, come, come, my two junior brothers, don’t be polite, tell me about the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm."

"During this time, our master has been very strict, I haven’t had the chance to learn about the outside world. I heard that the ’Little Sword Immortal’ slew a million-strong army with a single sword?"

Xie Dongan, while internally complaining about the Great Master for letting this person out, corrected:

"The rumors are not true, it was only a few hundred thousand..."

"A few hundred thousand barbarians? He truly is a divine being!"

...

At this moment, Duke Jingye’s Zhou Residence located in a bustling area, unlike most parts of the Capital City, appeared very quiet.

Despite having servants like Chen Ke and several tens of soldiers from the Devoted Army as guards, the residence still lacked some liveliness.

From the front courtyard to the middle courtyard, then to the back courtyard, a large house with less than a hundred people was scarcely seen in groups of two or three.

However, very soon, the quiet of Duke Jingye Mansion was disrupted by voices.

"Master, have you returned?"

Chen Ke opened the small gate of the back courtyard and, seeing Zhou Tiance in plain and humble attire outside, greeted him softly.

Zhou Tiance, wearing a straw hat and dressed in coarse hemp clothes, coughed as he walked into the courtyard.

"Cough cough cough, when did you return to Capital City? Did Yuan Er come back with you?"

Chen Ke cautiously pointed towards the pond in the back courtyard and whispered, "Mr. Yuan is waiting for you inside."

"Oh?"

Zhou Tiance’s hunched body paused, then he straightened up, his aged face seeming to regain some vitality.

"Did he see that letter?"

"A few days ago when I came back, Mr. Yuan had already seen it, and," Chen Ke hesitated,

"I beg your forgiveness, master. On that day, seeing Mr. Yuan’s angry expression, I had no choice but to clearly tell him the origins of ’Hidden Dragon.’"

"’Hidden Dragon’..." Zhou Tiance glanced at him, and unlike usual, he didn’t get angry but spoke calmly:

"Yuan Er would have found out sooner or later, it doesn’t hurt to tell him now."

"But," Chen Ke looked at him and whispered lowly: "Master, what did that letter say?"

"You have already revealed everything, or..."

"Make him the next Duke Jingye!"

Zhou Tiance replied and took the lead towards the pavilion by the pond.

Walking, he instructed, "Prepare some wine and dishes in the kitchen, Yuan Er and I haven’t met for a long time, let’s have some good food today."

"This servant is going."

Chen Ke subconsciously responded, yet he paused, his mind inevitably filled with doubts.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Tiance, knowing that Chen Yuan had returned, his reaction shouldn’t be so calm.

Even if not being domineering, he should at least show the grandeur of a ’grandpa.’

Where had the old master gone, and how has he returned as if he was a different person?

No matter how Chen Ke pondered, seeing Zhou Tiance walking away, he hurriedly rushed to the kitchen to give instructions.

Zhou Tiance approached the pond alone and looked across at the figure sitting upright at the stone table in the pavilion, his cloudy eyes somewhat blurred.

Guan Wu...

If it weren’t for the long silver hair identifying Chen Yuan, he truly believed time had returned to forty years ago, when he first saw Zhou Guanwu just back from Wuliang Mountain.

The same handsome, the same upright figure.

What was different was the two’s aura—one had an expansive aura like the sky and sea, the other cold as a blade.

At this moment, Chen Yuan also saw Zhou Tiance, but he continued sitting at the stone table, with the Wan Jun Saber placed beside him, his expression plain with a hint of indifference.

He had already waited for two days in Duke Jingye Mansion, adding the time spent accompanying Zhou Wanyi at Duke Wu’an Mansion, he had been back in Capital City for five days.

During these five days, he waited every moment for Zhou Tiance’s appearance.

Until today...

Chen Yuan looked at the frail old man before him, his Sword Intent had already seen through him clearly.

He was well aware Grandpa’s body was like a sieve, probably unable to hold on for a few more years.

In contrast, Zhou Tiance arrived at the pavilion, stepping as vigourously as he did in his prime, sitting opposite Chen Yuan and casually scrutinizing him.

Neither of them spoke.

After a long while, Zhou Tiance’s aged face, full of wrinkles, showed a hint of a smile as he said:

"Grandson, you’ve grown up."

Chen Yuan looked at him, his expression still revealing no emotion, only the hand near the Wan Jun Saber subconsciously moved a bit.

He struggled to restrain the urge to draw the Wan Jun Saber.

"Grandpa, you’ve finally shown up. I thought you wouldn’t return to the Capital City before the end of the grand event."

Zhou Tiance shook his head with a smile: "I went to see an old friend at the last minute, which delayed me a bit."

"An old friend, or was it Lou Yuhuang from Wuliang Mountain?" Chen Yuan cut straight to the point.

"Did Chen Ke tell you?" Zhou Tiance continued with an unchanged smile: "Lou Yuhuang is your uncle’s master; it was proper for me to see him."

Chen Yuan’s body stiffened, his expression gradually turning cold: "Did you know that Uncle Lou went to Southern River Prefecture a few days ago?"

Zhou Tiance unreservedly replied: "Of course, I requested him to go and surround and kill Chen Taiping’s second son."

"..."

Chen Yuan didn’t expect him to admit it so straightforwardly; he couldn’t bring himself to voice the question that had reached his lips.

He stared directly at Zhou Tiance, his tone becoming much colder.

"Grandpa, so it was you who killed my younger brother. Father still could have chosen third brother..."

Speaking up to here, Chen Yuan abruptly stopped.

He suddenly remembered that, long ago in his childhood, Zhou Tiance had threatened him using Chen Fan and Chen Yi.

With this thought.

Chen Yuan could no longer continue speaking. After a moment of silence, his voice slightly hoarse, he asked:

"Was Lu Kai from the Southern Barbarian Land also commanded by you to betray me?"

Zhou Tiance nodded and admitted again: "Yes, that time I sent him a message to reveal your whereabouts to face more trials."

Swoosh!

Chen Yuan couldn’t hold back anymore, the Wan Jun Saber instantly unsheathed, held to his neck, his eyes coldly glaring at him:

"Grandpa, why did you have to do this?!"

Zhou Tiance looked down at the Wan Jun Saber reflecting light onto his face, his expression unchanging, he replied:

"I did this for you."

"For me... Haha, what a ’for me’!"

In the midst of his laughter, Chen Yuan’s eyes were covered with a layer of ghostly blue, the cold Absolute Saber Intent enveloped the entire pavilion, bringing a gust of cold wind onto Zhou Tiance.

"Do you want to kill me?" Zhou Tiance stared at him, his face unexpectedly showing a bit of contentment.

"Actually, you should kill me, so that the entire Zhou Family would be finished, leaving only your mother."

Mother...

Chen Yuan felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his boiling blood.

He indeed could kill Zhou Tiance with one strike, but doing so would likely end the mother-son relationship between him and Zhou Wanyi.

Unless he chose to not care about anything...

"Grandpa, why must you force me?"

Zhou Tiance touched his slightly cut neck, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He didn’t rush to answer, but beckoned Chen Ke, who was on guard nearby, to bring up the fine wine and dishes.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment, swiftly placing the wine and meat on the stone table, and whispered to the stunned Chen Yuan:

"Mr. Yuan, you are still young, please don’t do anything foolish."

That one strike, if delivered, Chen Ke was certain that Zhou Tiance wouldn’t die.

But Chen Yuan’s end would be far from good.

Imagine, a grandson killing his grandfather would greatly impact both the Zhou and Chen families.

Even the power of both families might not be sufficient to save Chen Yuan’s life...

Zhou Tiance gestured for him to leave, then personally poured two cups of wine, placing one in front of Chen Yuan.

"I thought I wouldn’t live to see you again, but to my surprise, heaven was kind to me, allowing me to struggle on till now."

"My dear grandson, today let us enjoy good food and drink together. Anything you want to know, I will tell you, how about that?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him, silently sheathed the Wan Jun Saber, and took the wine cup himself. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Grandpa, you deserve to die!"

"Yes... I know I deserve to die, but there are others who deserve it even more who are still alive!"
