I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 497 - 211: Damn it! (Seeking subscription)_4

"Lord Chen, have you considered carefully?"

Chen Yi still gazed down at Kyoto Prefecture, looking towards the distant, grander Imperial Palace, and asked without turning his head:

"If I refuse, will the Holy Emperor halt all his plans?"

The Great Master shook his head and smiled wryly: "’The Eagle’ affair is a secret of the Wei Dynasty spanning hundreds of years."

"Even if the Holy Emperor abandons this scheme, the court will still face threats in the future, and your Chen Family will be the first to bear the brunt."

He paused, then said: "With your current skills, Lord Chen, indeed you fear no threat."

"But I know well, you will not stay on Tianyuan Continent forever."

"Once you head to Taizhou Mountain and leave your mark on the ’Heaven and Earth Bridge’, those lurking ’Eagles’ will have no reservations."

"At that time, calamity might strike you, the Chen Family, and even the Grand Void Sect members."

Silence for a moment.

Chen Yi’s eyes turned cold, his tone slightly detached as he asked: "Then, is Chen Yuan aware of ’The Eagle’?"

The Great Master paused, pondering: "Chen Yuan went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion earlier; perhaps Xie Jing may have revealed something to him."

Chen Yi looked sideways at him: "The Prime Minister? He’s aware of the Holy Emperor’s plans too?"

The Great Master didn’t directly answer but said:

"As I said earlier, over the past thirty years, ’The Eagle’ has been balancing the civil servants and the Marquis."

"Xie Jing is the most crucial piece among them; with his intelligence, even if unaware of the Holy Emperor’s plans, he would tacitly act."

Chen Yi spoke indifferently: "So, now Chen Yuan and I are merely pieces in the Holy Emperor’s hands."

The Great Master shook his head, smiling: "Chen Yuan might be, but not you."

"With Lord Chen’s current skills, no one dares treat you as a piece; at present, no one dares do so while you’re on Tianyuan Continent."

"Otherwise, the Holy Emperor wouldn’t have sent me to persuade you."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, turned to look at Kyoto Academy, silent.

Uncertain how much time passed.

Outside the school building where Chen Yi was, a faint sound emerged.

Several students in scholar robes gathered together, their expressions slightly excited as they looked at the young man in the center.

"Your Chen Family is extraordinary now; aside from your father Chen Taiping, Chen Yuan has succeeded as Duke Jingye, and Chen Yi has been appointed Heroic Marquis..."

"Perhaps soon, Chen Fan you will inherit the title of Duke Wuan!"

Chen Fan?

Chen Yi looked down at the few teenagers below, his gaze falling on the young man in the center.

The Great Master also heard their conversation and, after glancing, said:

"Chen Fan’s talent isn’t outstanding, only average at Kyoto Academy, but he is kind-hearted."

"If he succeeds Duke Wuan’s position someday, it wouldn’t be bad." freeweɓnøvel.com

Chen Yi didn’t speak, quietly watching Chen Fan respond.

"Inherit the title of Duke Wuan?"

Chen Fan looked at his classmates’ gaze, shook his head evenly, and said: "I’m still far from it."

"How could it be? With your Chen Family’s power, even if your skills are lacking in the future, nothing will go wrong."

"Exactly, yesterday your second brother slashed ’Black Impermanence’ with his sword, that Sword Dao, that demeanor just like a Sword Immortal from the tales."

"Demon Court’s demons must be tired of living to invade from the south."

"..."

Chen Fan still shook his head, signaling them to stop talking.

"Duke Wuan’s position concerns Beixiong Pass’s safety, not child’s play. Even if my father wants me to succeed, I wouldn’t agree."

He knew himself well.

Not to mention the disparity in skills with Chen Yi, even his eldest brother Chen Yuan wasn’t someone he could compare to.

Who knew, no sooner did Chen Fan finish speaking than several boys walking nearby sneered:

"You say that, but who knows what’s in your heart?"

Hearing this, another boy chimed in:

"Now neither your elder brother nor second brother can inherit Duke Wuan’s title, leaving only you."

"Perhaps your heart is already overjoyed."

Chen Fan’s face turned red with anger, even after years of studying, cultivating, and having some restraint, he was still provoked to anger by these words.

"I know I can’t compare to my two elder brothers, nor do I possess the ability to succeed Marquis’s title, how dare I be delusional?"

"Nice words, but who knows?"

Several boys laughed at him: "Chen Fan, wanting to inherit Marquis’s title isn’t bad; just admit it."

"He’s so angry, wouldn’t he be mad because we spoke his mind?"

"That’s right, this is called ’angry out of shame,’ haha..."

Chen Fan trembled with anger: "You... you shut up! A real man stands firm and acts upright! What I say is sincere!"

"..."

The Great Master’s face looked slightly unnatural, glanced at Chen Yi’s expression and said:

"Lord Chen, they are still young, not mature in mind, speaking reckless words not to be taken seriously..."

If it weren’t for Chen Yi being here, he could have calmly ordered a minor punishment for these kids.

But unfortunately, Chen Yi was right beside him...

At that moment, even the composed Great Master had an urge to curse.

Chen Yi looked at him, spoke blandly: "I agree with the matter previously discussed."

The Great Master noticed Chen Yi didn’t mention the students’ words and felt relieved.

"That’s good, later I’ll inform the Holy Emperor, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Yi step forward, gracefully descending below.

Along with a cold voice spreading:

"Since when has my Chen Family fallen to the point where outsiders can debate about the Marquis’s succession?"

"..."

The Great Master heard and showed a wry smile, looking at Chen Yi already in front of the group of student boys.

His mother...

Their mother!

A bunch of useless fools, why did you provoke him?
