I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 442 - 193: One Person Achieves Enlightenment (Seeking Subscriptions)

Chapter 442: Chapter 193: One Person Achieves Enlightenment (Seeking Subscriptions)

After returning to the Kyoto Prefecture, Chen Yi’s life naturally differed from that on Sword Edge Mountain; no longer centered around cultivation, it now had a bit more of the common touch.

Before dawn, everyone in the Marquis Mansion rose early.

Chen Lixin, Chen Lide, and other officials who served in the court had a quick bite before setting off to wait outside the Imperial City.

Chen Taixing and Ding Sansi, along with others who remained in the Marquis Mansion, came to the Martial Arts Arena early in the morning to supervise the children practicing Martial Arts.

Other collateral relatives and house servants acted within their respective roles, responsible for patrolling and standing guard around the Marquis Mansion, truly fulfilling their duties.

Lastly, the women of the household, some looked after children who hadn’t yet reached the Foundation Establishment evaluation in the side rooms, some handled clothing and meals, and others took turns accompanying the Old Lady in the back garden.

Under the envelope of Chen Yi’s Sword Intent, even this Marquis Mansion alone let him perceive the myriad states of existence, let alone all the families, nobility, and commoners in various places of Kyoto Prefecture.

Indistinctly, a sense of realization rose in his heart—as if he saw countless illusory threads tethered to everyone.

Like puppeteers pulling strings, dictating their paths.

"Heaven and earth are heartless, treating all beings as straw dogs."

This Taoist saying aptly expressed Chen Yi’s current mood.

If he had not pursued Martial Arts, he probably would have lived an aimless life like most people.

However, when his mind submerged into the palace in his mind and saw the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, a thought suddenly occurred to him—

Could it be that he was also a puppet being manipulated by a string?

"But, isn’t it so?"

Very quickly, Chen Yi dismissed such thoughts, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

He could be a puppet controlled by others, but it’s best if he didn’t know about it.

Otherwise—whether it’s man or god, devil or demon, he would slay them all!

In the morning, a light rain began to fall.

Chen Yi, adapting to circumstances, took an oil-paper umbrella he found in Chunhe Garden and wandered around the Marquis Mansion.

He first went to the back garden to greet the Old Lady and left an Elixir for prolonging life as a gift.

Then he visited his uncle Chen Lixin, his other uncle Chen Lide, and a few other elder relatives of the same generation.

Finally, he visited Chen Taixing and others of his father’s generation.

In fact, before leaving the Grand Void Sect, Chen Yi had prepared many gifts, including Elixirs, weapons, and some exceptionally fine and exquisitely crafted ornaments, specifically for the Chen Family and others familiar within the Kyoto Prefecture.

For instance, for the Lin Xueru family to whom he was betrothed, he prepared a Magic Artifact for Lin Hansong and a Beauty Pill for Zhu Yu.

He also had gifts ready for people like Prince Zhenbei Du Qing and Marquis Taishan Wang Xidu. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Not to curry favor, but simply to comply with some customs of the Kyoto Prefecture.

Of course, Chen Yi also had times when he didn’t follow the rules—he hadn’t prepared anything for Zhou Wanyi.

In fact, that morning, he visited the front, middle, and rear courtyards within the Marquis Mansion but never set foot inside Zhou Wanyi’s residence.

He only passed by after greeting the Old Lady, hearing the chanting of Buddhist scriptures echoing from the courtyard twice the size of Chunhe Garden.

"Thus have I heard..."

Chen Yi paused for a moment, glancing inside the door.

The sweet fragrance of blooming flowers still couldn’t mask the thick scent of sandalwood in the courtyard, and the ticking sound of the rain on the wooden annex couldn’t drown out the calm recitation of Buddhist scriptures.

Faintly, Chen Yi saw a silhouette in the Buddhist Hall, causing him to pause.

After a moment,

Chen Yi stepped away, his expression very calm.

He returned to the Kyoto Prefecture with only two purposes—one was the grand event, and the other was to resolve matters with Zhou Tian and Zhou Wanyi.

But from what the Old Lady and several ancestral spirits told him earlier, it was almost certain that his poisoning was Zhou Tian’s doing.

And Zhou Wanyi might just be a puppet...

Chen Yi let out a long sigh, a contemplative look appearing on the handsome face of the youth, seemingly incongruent with his age.

"Why does it have to be so complicated?"

It’s better to just be a straightforward villain, best to be thoroughly rotten to the core.

Why would a good person bother learning to sincerely worship Buddha?

Chen Yi shook his head in secret, deciding to meet Zhou Tian at Duke Jingye’s Mansion after meeting with Chen Yuan.

He wanted to see if that old fellow had changed his ways from butcher to monk!

After making a round, things progressed faster than expected.

Perhaps because of last night’s action, Chen Yi always felt that people in the Marquis Mansion looked at him differently.

Especially those children, not even three years old and who hadn’t gone through the Foundation Establishment evaluation.

Their gaze towards Chen Yi, apart from child-like curiosity, contained more fear.

Not the kind of fear faced with great terror, but rather the fear a student in school feels towards a teacher’s punishment.

Chen Yi felt indescribably odd, yet couldn’t figure it out.

Could it be that the appearance of the White Tiger Divine Intent last night frightened the children?

It wasn’t until he accidentally heard a few women of the mansion gathered together whispering did he realize, and then he became both amused and exasperated.

"They say Young Master Yi started receiving teachings from the family’s teacher since he was one and a half years old, not only learning to read and write but also studying etiquette and arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"Ah, no wonder Young Master Yi achieved such accomplishments, all started from young accumulation."

"I’m going home and making my third child learn too, if he dares to refuse, he’ll see! My slap will serve him right!"

"Sister is right, if Young Master Yi is so strong, our descendants can’t let his reputation down."

"..."

Chen Yi thought to himself, he never wanted to start learning邵 so early and he didn’t know arts like music or chess.

Ironically.
