I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

"And in private, Xu Hengjun has once sighed with him that the heirs of the Marquis under the King of the Southern Garrison are probably going to be overshadowed by Duke Wuan's two sons."

Pang Zongkang agrees with this, but also sees it as not entirely positive.

After all, the martial lineage of the Marquis has been passed down for a thousand years, with many exceptionally brilliant and prideful talents among them. However, most of their ends have not been good.

Only a very few are able to die a natural death; most of them perish on their respective battlefields.

"Marquis Pang, please feel at ease," Chen Yuan glanced over them and nodded.

"Eh?" Wei Jinyu was taken aback and quickly called out, "Chen Yuan, you, you..."

For some unexplained reason, her heart ached.

She wanted to ask Chen Yuan to return to the Capital City with her, but she knew that it was impossible.

Or perhaps, she could refrain from going back and stay by Chen Yuan's side... that too was impossible!

However, Chen Yuan didn't have so many thoughts. Without looking back, he said, "Princess, you should return."

After saying this, he walked past them, without the slightest pause.

Seeing how decisively he walked away, Wei Jinyu frowned and stamped her foot again.

"Stupid blockhead, big blockhead!"

However, she knew that this time, no matter what, she couldn't follow him.

After all, Pang Zongkang and those solemnly-faced Baihua Guards were by her side. She had to consider her identity as part of the Royal Family, not only for herself but also for the position they held.

Pang Zongkang looked at the receding figure of Chen Yuan, his gaze settling on that silver-white hair.

Truly, there is a world of difference between Duke Wuan's two sons.

Silence for a moment.

Pang Zongkang said sternly, "Princess, please come with me. I will arrange for someone to take you straight back to the Capital City soon."

"Uncle Pang, can... can I not go back?" Wei Jinyu bit her lip and asked.

"No! If I hadn't seen Your Highness, it would be different, but now that I have, you can't be seen to have left."

"But..."

"Princess, Chen Yuan has been bestowed a marriage by the Holy Emperor!"

"What?" Wei Jinyu was stunned for a moment and asked in a hurry, "Why did Father bestow a marriage upon him? No, which family's daughter is Father planning to betroth to him?"

Pang Zongkang shook his head and said, "Once Your Highness returns to the Capital City, you will naturally find out."

Wei Jinyu frowned, watching Chen Yuan already leaving the marketplace, and after a moment of contemplation said,

"Uncle Pang, please send me back to the Capital City as quickly as possible."

Seeing her expression, Pang Zongkang frowned inwardly.

The reason he had informed Wei Jinyu about Chen Yuan being bestowed a marriage by the Holy Emperor was to test her.

Now seeing her anxiousness, how could Pang Zongkang not understand?

But he did not say any more, as involving the Royal Family and the Marquis and spreading the word could easily lead to unforeseen complications.

"Princess, please come with me."

After everyone left, the onlookers, traders, and guests from the martial world began to whisper among themselves.

Of course, their main focus was on Wei Jinyu, and incidentally curious about the relationship between Chen Yuan, the Absolute Blade Inheritor, and her.

...

Chen Yi, who had just arrived, saw the scene unfold from above the clouds. He frowned as he looked down at the few people below.

"Bestowed a marriage?"

Why did Emperor Wei suddenly bestow a marriage upon Chen Yuan?

Chen Yi did not know.

But his instincts told him that there was something strange about this matter.

Chen Yi glanced at Wei Jinyu and others below, and then followed Chen Yuan into Southern Garrison Pass.

It wasn't until outside the inn at Wangchuan County that Chen Yi appeared.

"Second brother?"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, hesitantly putting down the black wood coffin he was holding and asked, "You've been waiting for me here?"

Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Sort of."

He looked at the black wood coffin beside him, knowing that Senior Sister Ling Yinrong was lying within, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Chen Yuan noticed his gaze and his expression changed slightly.

"You're not planning to take Senior Sister Ling back to Sword Edge Mountain, are you?"

"What is big brother thinking," Chen Yi couldn't help but smile wryly, "I know you wouldn't agree."

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Well, I thought you had already gone back."

Given Ling Yinrong's identity, she indeed should be taken back to Sword Edge Mountain.

However, he didn't want this to happen, especially not to see his brother, Chen Yi, come for her.

"Something unexpected happened along the way."

Chen Yi explained briefly while leading him into the inn's tavern.

"Remember the resurrection technique I told you about earlier? These past days, I accidentally acquired some texts that detail the method."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed, "Second brother, quickly let me have a look."

Chen Yi's sword intent spread out to shield the surrounding martial world guests' five senses, then placed a few items on the table and said:

"Besides the resurrection technique, there's also a cultivation technique that can weaken the influence of the Absolute Blade, which I will give to you as well."

Chen Yuan paused in his examination, but did not utter words of thanks.

It wasn't that he couldn't say them, but because the brothers grew up together, uttering too much would seem unnecessarily formal.

However, after Chen Yuan finished perusing them, his expression turned serious.

"Second brother, where did you find these items?"

With his discernment, it was not difficult to recognize the value of the two bamboo slips in his hand.

Even just taking one of them out would cause a huge commotion in the martial world and the court, let alone two such items.

Chen Yi guessed his concerns and smiled, "Elder brother, rest assured, all these were found in a secret realm."

"Moreover, with my current strength, obtaining these items is not difficult."

Saying this, he slightly lifted his head with a hint of pride, reminiscent of when he was praised by the Marquis Mansion's tutor when he was a child.

"Yes, yes, my second brother is now invincible in the world," Chen Yuan said, reassured and smiling.

Chen Yi: "..."

Who knows which second brother he was talking about?

After his silent retort, Chen Yi uncorked a jar of Clear Spring Wine and began drinking with Chen Yuan.

"Uh, this wine..." Chen Yuan drank a bowl and felt vibrations in his muscles and flesh, his body filled with strength.

"A gift from an elder, it's quite effective."

Chen Yi did not elaborate further, just had a drink with Chen Yuan while having a casual chat. He didn't mention Ling Yinrong, nor did he bring up the things he saw at the Wei Man exchange market previously.

"Elder brother, when do you plan to return to Kyoto Prefecture?"

"After a few days," Chen Yuan said calmly, looking at the coffin next to him:

"I'll go back once I finish handling some matters."

Then, he looked straight at Chen Yi and said, "After returning this time, I will likely head to Taizhou Mountain very soon."

"So soon?"

Chen Yi was taken aback and frowned in thought, "Elder brother, I must remind you that the Netherworld River is dangerous, and even cultivators in the Divine Power Realm find it hard to escape."

"Don't worry, second brother," Chen Yuan said with a smile and a wave of his hand: "I won't be that impulsive, it's just... there I can enhance my cultivation more quickly."

But the inheritance of the Absolute Blade also emphasized slaughter.

He couldn't just go on a killing spree on the Tianyuan Continent, as that would only bring harm to those close to him.

However, on the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, he would have none of those concerns.

Chen Yi thought for a moment, then nodded, "The environment there would indeed allow your cultivation to advance faster."

"Right..."

Chen Yi didn't try to persuade him further; if it were him, he would only act more drastically than Chen Yuan.

However, he was equally aware of the situation on the Taizhou Mountain, knowing that to grow there was not merely a matter of exceptional talent.

After that, neither of them felt like making small talk anymore.

Soon.

Chen Yuan stood up, picked up the black wood coffin, and left the inn.

"Second brother, see you in Kyoto Prefecture."

Chen Yi watched him leave and silently sighed.

Ever since he learned that Chen Yuan had become the inheritor of the Absolute Blade, he occasionally thought about the initial "grabbing" ceremony.

If only he had thought more profoundly back then, elder brother might have ended up with the Chen Family's Jade Blade as his "grabbing" item, rather than going back to Duke Jingye again.

Perhaps then, everything would've been different.

Thinking this, Chen Yi soared into the air and headed straight back to Sword Edge Mountain.

What he didn't know was that on the other side, Chen Yuan happened to encounter an unexpected person.

"Mr. Yuan, the master and the miss have asked me to deliver a letter to you..."

...

A day went by, and night had fallen.

Chen Yi crossed several State prefectures and returned outside the Grand Void Sect, only entering Sword Edge Mountain after meeting with the patrolling disciples of the Martial Arts Hall.

He assumed all the sect mates were already resting, so he made no sound, but unexpectedly...

Chen Yi saw three people outside his chamber, "Little girl, Senior Sister Ning, Xiao Xuanzhen, what's happening?"

Lin Xueru saw his figure, her face filled with joy as she ran up and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Yi!"
