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

Chen Yuan glanced at him and strode directly through the main hall.

In fact, ever since he entered Duke Jingye Mansion, his Sword Intent had already enveloped the entire estate.

But this ancient estate was already equipped with several Arrays, making his perception unclear.

And when he entered the backyard, his body paused and his brows furrowed.

Not just him, Chen Ke also noticed something and looked around.

After a long time.

Chen Ke let out a breath of relief and said, "Mr. Yuan, it seems the lord is out and not here."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan did not respond, but continued to cross the pond in the backyard, following his memory towards the Zhou Family ancestral hall.

He retained many memories from his childhood.

Especially about the dungeon beneath that pond, and the incident where Zhou Tiance made him kneel in the ancestral hall before he left for Wuliang Mountain, was still fresh in his memory.

When Chen Yuan arrived at the innermost ancestral hall, seeing the empty scene inside, he couldn't help but feel some resentment.

"Grandpa, are you hiding from me?"

Perhaps upon hearing his words, Chen Ke quickly explained, "Mr. Yuan, the lord must be dealing with other matters. Why don't you return to Duke Wuan Mansion first?"

"And after the lord returns, I will come to take you?"

Chen Yuan still ignored him and scanned the layout of the ancestral hall. His gaze landed on the offering table—where a letter was placed!

He dashed over, and as the ethereal blue Sword Intent was waved, it caused the spiritual tablets in the ancestral hall to tremble and the candlelight to flicker weakly.

Chen Ke also saw the letter and after hesitating for a moment, walked in as well.

At this time, Chen Yuan had already opened the letter, and after a glance, his expression turned much colder.

Without letting Chen Ke see what was inside, he fiercely crushed the entire letter.

"Grandpa, you are forcing my hand!!"

At this moment, Chen Yuan's face had a hint of savagery, and there was a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

Chen Ke looked at the scattered paper fragments on the ground, his heart sinking, and couldn't help but ask:

"Is it a letter from the lord, what did he say?"

Chen Yuan glared at him and coldly said, "You said before, once I return to Capital City, you would tell me everything!"

"I..."

Chen Ke's face showed a complex expression, as he already guessed the content of Zhou Tiance's letter.

After a long silence.

Chen Ke, looking at the murderous-faced Chen Yuan, sighed deeply and said, "Since Mr. Yuan came as agreed, I no longer have a reason to not tell you."

Chen Yuan was still glaring at him, his hand grasping the Wan Jun Saber, the ethereal blue Sword Intent had already extinguished the candles around.

And within that Sword Intent, faint threads of killing intent circled, locking onto Chen Ke.

"Actually, 'Hidden Dragon' was not created by the lord, but by your uncle, the former Duke Jingye, Zhou Guanwu."

Chen Ke knew there was no further point in concealing the truth and started speaking on his own.

"Your uncle wished to build a military force capable of threatening the Great Demons of the Demon Court, that's why he started 'Hidden Dragon'."

Chen Yuan asked with a cold tone, "So 'Hidden Dragon' was not established twenty years ago, but earlier?"

Chen Ke nodded and said, "To be exact, it was thirty-eight years ago when your uncle had just inherited the Duke Jingye title."

"He gathered a number of orphans from the people and bought many children from traffickers, having the Devoted Army's sergeants train them. This was the first batch of 'Hidden Dragon Seed'."

"Unfortunately, after three years, before he could proceed to the second step of his plan, he had to garrison at Beixiong Pass."

"You must have heard about the rest," Chen Ke paused and continued,

"The Fengyue Demon Emperor ascended the throne in the Demon Court, leading an army of demons southward to attack Beixiong Pass. Your uncle Zhou Guanwu, along with several of your great-uncles and uncles, all died there."

"The lord was also gravely injured and near death there but was saved by Prince Zhenbei and Chen Taiping, barely clinging to life."

"After that, 'Hidden Dragon' was managed by me and your grandfather."

Chen Yuan frowned, gripped the Wan Jun Saber tightly, and asked through gritted teeth, "So the current 'Hidden Dragon' is still under his influence!"

Chen Ke managed a bitter smile and said, "I don't know how else to explain, but that is indeed the case."

"Ever since that battle, the lord changed."

"He was originally content to stay at home after passing the Marquis title to Guan Wu. If not for the emergency at Beixiong Pass, he wouldn't have taken up arms to go support it."

"Only, unexpectedly, that fierce battle resulted in over two hundred deaths and injuries in the Zhou Residence, even the old ancestor died while trying to rescue Guan Wu, killed by one of the Demon Court's thirty-six generals, the Lion King."

"Since then, the lord has been in deep grief, his temperament vastly changed, and he has been extreme in some of his actions."

Saying so, Chen Ke glanced at Chen Yuan's expression and said, "And about your second brother, the lord had also once..."

Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he coldly asked, "Also what? Are you saying he also planned against my second brother?"

Chen Ke bit his teeth and nodded.

Although he was not clear about what Zhou Tiance had written in the letter, after so many years of association, he could guess it wasn't without talk of the inheritance of the Duke Jingye title.

Perhaps he intended to have Chen Yuan change his surname to Zhou...

"Actually, the lord did not wish to harm Young Master Yi's life; he simply wanted to drive away the Chen Family successors other than you."

"According to Wei Dynasty laws, you alone would be able to inherit both the Chen and Zhou family Marquis titles. This would not only honor you but also avoid criticism from others."

"Only, it was unexpected that Young Master Yi would be so lucky, surviving unscathed three times, and neither the lord nor I had another chance to act."

With such explanation, Chen Ke was clear that after Chen Yi ranked on the "Heavenly Pride List", they no longer had any chance to act.

And now, after the South-Garrison Pass events, the fame of Chen Yi, the "Little Sword Immortal", has spread throughout the world; they had even less strength to act.

However, Chen Ke equally knew that Zhou Tiance would not give up...

Chen Yuan's face instantly turned bloodless, almost as pale as his white hair.

He had not expected that Zhou Tiance was not just ruthless towards him, but also secretly targeting Chen Yi.

"Me, my second brother, does he know?"
