Chapter 499: Chapter 212: Small Punishment, Big Warning! (Seeking Subscription)_2

After speaking, without waiting for these people to plead again, he waved them away to outside the Kyoto Academy.

"If I had known it would be like this, why do it in the first place?"

Elsewhere.

Chen Fan hesitated to speak, "Second Brother, are you very disappointed in me?"

"Not disappointed," Chen Yi turned his head to look at him, smiling slightly and said:

"The one who should apologize is me; meeting you for the first time, it really shouldn’t have been like this."

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment; why did Second Brother seem like a different person now?

"What? Do you think I shouldn’t be this gentle and should be dominating and ruthless as I was before?" Chen Yi guessed his thoughts and said with a smile.

"No, no."

Chen Fan chuckled awkwardly and then said, "This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Second Brother; I saw you that day when you just returned to the mansion."

Chen Yi suddenly understood: "When I went to the family shrine with the Old Lady? Apologies, at that time, I just returned and many things weren’t sorted out yet."

"No, no problem..."

The two chatted casually as they walked out of the Kyoto Academy.

On the way, many students couldn’t help but point and whisper, evidently recognizing Chen Fan.

As for Chen Yi, few could recognize him.

In a nearby study building, Jiang Ye looked bored at the commotion outside and suddenly widened his eyes.

"Brother An, Brother An, come quickly, see who has come to the academy!!"

Considering whether to go to Duke Jingye Mansion, Xie Dongan came over upon hearing this, helplessly saying:

"Who could make you so surprised?"

"See for yourself!"

Xie Dongan glanced over and was also stunned for a moment: "Chen Yi? Why is he at the Kyoto Academy?"

"I don’t know, but I can go over and ask."

As he spoke, Jiang Ye didn’t wait for his agreement and immediately flashed over to Chen Yi and Chen Fan.

Xie Dongan paused, thinking about the battle outside Kyoto Prefecture a few hours earlier, feeling an inexplicable sense of low spirit.

Always, he believed his talent was no worse than anyone’s.

Even compared to Wang Yang, the closed disciple of the Grand Master Lin Zhongke, he felt catching up was just a matter of time.

But after witnessing the duel between Chen Yi and "Black Impermanence," Xie Dongan knew dearly—

He feared he’d never reach Chen Yi’s level in this lifetime!

Such a vast gap was something knowledge accumulation couldn’t bridge!

Adding to that, when he returned to the Prime Minister’s Mansion last night, Xie Jing informed him that Wuliang Mountain’s sealing was also Chen Yi’s doing...

"Ah, comparing oneself to others makes one frustrated."

Xie Dongan sighed, looking at Jiang Ye already closing in on Chen Yi, he helplessly followed.

Chen Yi chatted briefly with Xie Dongan and others, and upon Chen Taixing’s arrival, he left by carriage.

Chen Fan watched the carriage departing, his expression somewhat desolate.

"Senior Brother Dong An, do you think I was wrong with what I did earlier?"

Xie Dongan glanced at him, said calmly: "According to the guidance of several masters at the academy, you were not wrong."

"But in the eyes of Brother Yi, your approach likely seems weak."

"So, should I be like Second Brother?"

"He is him, you are you," Xie Dongan shook his head and said: "You can’t learn to be as domineering as him."

Jiang Ye further explained his words: "Brother An meant that your strength is too weak."

"..."

Xie Dongan glared at him, helplessly saying: "In my opinion, Brother Yi simply hopes you can be less hesitant."

"Less hesitation, more assertiveness." Chen Fan thoughtfully nodded.

Then, he looked at them and said: "Did you hear earlier? My uncle said Second Brother is going to Duke Jingye Mansion?"

Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye exchanged a look, their expressions changing slightly.

"Chen Fan, you should return to the academy; Brother Xiao Yezi and I have matters to attend to."

Saying this, the two ignored Chen Fan and hurriedly left.

Chen Fan was confused, "Ah?"

Why are the two senior brothers in such a rush?

"Brother An, what do you think Heroic Marquis will do at the Zhou Family?"

"Considering his domineering ways, I fear ’the visit isn’t friendly.’"

"Yes, I think so too. Just unsure if Princess Jin Yu will go..."

"My concern isn’t Princess Jin Yu, but Senior Brother Wang Yang."

Jiang Ye looked at him suspiciously: "What’s wrong with Senior Brother Wang Yang? He isn’t part of Duke Jingye Mansion."

Xie Dongan didn’t explain further, thinking Senior Brother Wang Yang seems to have gone out early.

All he hoped was that Senior Brother didn’t go to Duke Jingye Mansion.

...

Outside Duke Jingye Mansion.

The conflict last night did not affect the Zhou Family.

Early in the morning, Zhou Tiance and Chen Yuan, dressed in Duke Jingye’s robes, were in the central hall welcoming a crowd of guests.

Soon, families, nobility, and some imperial relatives from nearby started arriving.

Some family heads came in person, some sent a family steward with gifts, and some elders brought juniors along.

Outside Zhou Residence, a variety of carriages were parked, displaying family insignias, attracting the attention of passersby.

"Last night was so shocking that I almost forgot, today is the day the Zhou Residence celebrates the new Duke Jingye."

"Indeed, the Chen Family under Duke Wuan is truly glorious, a family with three Marquises is unprecedented!"

"Such is fate; over thirty years ago, the battle at Beixiong Pass decided the Zhou Family lineage. The old Marquis choosing Chen Yuan to succeed as Marquis was a reluctant decision."

"And the Heroic Marquis was due to his exceptional talent, slaying the Great Demon King of the Demon Court before reaching adulthood, truly astonishing."

"Exactly! The scene from last night is still vivid in my mind, like the Milky Way descending from the ninth heaven."

"Precisely..."

Soon after, another carriage arrived.

Lin Xueru jumped down from the carriage, followed by Xiao Xuanzhen, Hua Xianzi, Hua Youxiang, and Gu Tiangang.

"So many people here."

The younger Hua, still inexperienced, scanned the surroundings excitedly and said:

"Senior Master, did I not say coming to this bustling event was worth it? It’s absolutely lively on the day of Senior Brother Chen’s brother’s celebration!"

Gu Tiangang nodded helplessly: "Only because you suggested it, otherwise I wouldn’t have come."

Having been in Kyoto Prefecture for years, he was well aware of the disposition of these families and nobility, and had no desire to engage with them.

This time he agreed to come not only because the Zhou Family sent an invitation but also because Chen Yuan, the new Duke Jingye, is Chen Yi’s brother.

Moreover, since Lin Xueru’s family from Duke Xing’s Mansion would also be present, Ancient Tao decided to join, taking the opportunity to converse with people from the Lin Family.

As for Hua Xianzi and Xiao Xuanzhen, they were indifferent.

"I wonder if Junior Brother Chen Yi will come."

Lin Xueru pondered and said, "Brother Yi should come; he had a good relationship with Chen Yuan during childhood."

Hua Xianzi nodded, "Senior Brother will definitely come."

Just as they stood outside the mansion waiting, they saw a graceful young man in scholar’s attire walking towards them.

It was none other than the disciple of Kyoto Academy Master, Wang Yang!

However, Wang Yang merely glanced at Hua Xianzi and others before fanning himself and nonchalantly heading to the front of the Zhou Residence.

"Wang Yang of Kyoto Academy, here at the behest of my teacher Lin Zhongke, to congratulate Duke Jingye."

"Please come inside, young master!"

The house servant at the entrance was delighted, promptly leading him inside, announcing as they walked:

"Disciple Wang Yang of Kyoto Academy Master arrives to offer congratulations!"

The mere mention of "Great Master" stirred among the guests gathered at Zhou Residence.

Seeing Wang Yang, their expressions showed some excitement.

"Never thought the old Marquis had connections with Kyoto Academy, glad I came!"

"Indeed, I had heard of Wang Yang’s name before. Seeing him now, he truly is remarkable!"

"Elder Liu is mistaken! Though Wang Yang is not as talented as the Heroic Marquis, he is an exceptional prodigy!"

"Hahaha, indeed..."

Wang Yang heard the discussions, his expression unchanged, as he calmly seated himself at a central table.

His attention, however, was on Hua Xianzi outside Zhou Residence, wanting to hear the comments from those of Grand Void Sect.

Unexpectedly—

Hua Youxiang asked, "Sister, was the person who went inside the one by Qu Pond last night?"

"Who?" Hua Xianzi looked at her bewildered, "Who went inside?"

"The one we saw by Qu Pond last night."

"Oh, I don’t remember."

Lin Xueru recalled for a moment, also shaking her head: "I don’t remember either, only recall the grandson of the Left Prime Minister..."

Hearing this conversation, Wang Yang’s expression stiffened.

"She, she doesn’t remember me?"

He, who held a prestigious identity at Kyoto Academy, found himself ignored...

Right then, Xiao Xuanzhen spoke: "I do recall somewhat."

Wang Yang just revealed a slight smile, but after hearing another sentence, his expression lost its previous composure completely.

"An annoying person!"

"For such a person to become a disciple of the Kyoto Academy Master, seems like that Great Master’s judgment isn’t great either..."

Wang Yang was left speechless.

How could she be so rude?!
