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

"Does Second Brother know about these things?"

Chen Yuan couldn't imagine what Chen Yi would do if he found out that it was Grandpa plotting against him behind his back.

Even if he doesn't know now, as long as Grandpa still harbors such thoughts, Chen Yi will eventually become aware of everything.

For a moment, Chen Yuan felt a complex and inexplicable feeling in his heart.

He did indeed harbor resentment towards Grandpa's actions; after all, Grandpa had once thrown him in a dungeon.

He also threatened him with Chen Yi and Chen Fan, sending him to Wuliang Mountain to join the Absolute Blade Sect.

Furthermore, the Southern Barbarian Land affair, the death of Ling Yinrong...

All these incidents, Chen Yuan knew, were all orchestrated by Zhou Tiance, yet he didn't know how to decide.

"He probably doesn't know."

Chen Ke sighed inwardly, not finishing his sentence.

In fact, he wasn't clear whether Chen Yi knew about "Hidden Dragon" and the old master's covert actions against him.

"When the old master made his moves against Young Master Yi, he was still very young."

"Young?" Chen Yuan laughed angrily, his silver-white hair moving without wind, and asked with a chilling murderous intent, "Was it earlier than when I was thrown into that dungeon?"

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Once was during the Zhou Ritual, and another time was when the old master found the 'Mad Old Man' and abducted Young Master Yi."

Chen Yuan's angry expression froze, and his eyes widened.

"Zhou Ritual? One year old?"

He couldn't believe that Zhou Tiance had started plotting against Chen Yi so early.

The Zhou Ritual, at that time, he and Chen Yi were just one year old... How could Grandpa be so heartless?!

Chen Ke seemed to find it unacceptable as well, sighing and saying:

"According to the old master's plan, he only wanted Young Master Yi to grab food, so his Martial Arts path would be slower than yours."

"But during that period, Miss Wan Yi noticed something and helped Young Master Yi openly and secretly, disrupting the effects of the Gluttony Pill, which led to your embarrassment during that Zhou Ritual."

"I..."

Chen Yuan clenched his teeth; he hadn't realized that there was such an inside story behind that Zhou Ritual which had made him go through that humiliation once again.

"Grandpa didn't say that!"

"He told me it was because the Zhou Family bloodline was stronger in me, that's why I got the chicken leg!"

"And what about Mother! After the event, she still blamed Second Brother, why is that?!"

Chen Ke's face showed pity; he knew Zhou Tiance and Zhou Wanyi both deceived Chen Yuan to some extent.

But their starting points were different—Zhou Tian's words were meant to sway Chen Yuan towards the Zhou Residence.

Whereas Zhou Wanyi acted that way just as a ruse, to cover up the secrets behind the Zhou Ritual.

In fact, if not for Zhou Wanyi's mediation, Duke Wuan would have already noticed something amiss.

It's a pity she tried to persuade the old master to stop, but couldn't.

She thought "once and never again", but the old master's mentality was "where there's a first, there's a second."

Thus, it led to Miss later being "heartless", not stepping into the Zhou Residence ever again.

But these things, Chen Ke had no intention of telling Chen Yuan.

"Mr. Yuan, the old master's actions were a bit too extreme, but it's also for your good, for the Zhou Family's good."

"Now you also see that the Zhou Residence's lineage has been cut short, you are the old master's only hope."

"Moreover, Miss Wan Yi also wants you to inherit the title of Duke Jingye of the Zhou Family, only she disagreed with the old master's methods from the beginning."

Speaking to this point, Chen Ke paused for a while, looking around at the ancestral tablets and saying:

"Originally, Miss wanted to wait until you came of age, then she would go to Duke Wuan to let you be adopted into the Zhou Family."

"But the old master did not want it; he didn't want the Zhou Family's thousand-year legacy to be handed over to Wuan Chen Family on a silver platter."

Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "So he planned to end the Chen Family's lineage as well, thus merging the Zhou and Chen families?!"

Chen Ke pursed his lips and remained silent, knowing that Mr. Yuan couldn't accept this reality all at once, but it was the truth.

"How could he do such a thing?!" Chen Yuan was raging with anger.

Previously, he was puzzled about Zhou Tiance's reasons for treating him that way, but now that he knew the truth, his mind felt as if the sky had collapsed.

No matter how much he speculated, he could never have imagined that his Grandpa, the Duke Jingye revered by the court as a pillar of the state, could have such malicious intentions.

To bring ruin and death upon the family, to sever the lineage of the Chen Family descendants—how dare he?!

After a long silence.

Chen Yuan sheathed the Wan Jun Saber, dejectedly looked at the ancestral tablets and candlelight, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Who else knows about this?"

Chen Ke sighed inwardly, saying with a mournful tone: "Aside from me and the old master, as well as Miss Wan Yi, your father has also become aware."

"The reason he hasn't taken action against Chen Yi in these years is partly due to Chen Yi's cultivation improving to an unimaginable extent, and also because Duke Wuan was secretly obstructing it."

Having been in charge of "Hidden Dragon" for many years, he was well aware that Duke Wuan, Chen Taiping, was not as subdued as he appeared on the surface, and he had also done a lot in secret.

Especially the Chen Family's "Hidden Guard", they were no less than "Hidden Dragon", and even superior in some aspects.

Like their loyalty, comparable to the Wuan Army's strict adherence to commands, and their talents and cultivation were not lacking either.

Of course, "Hidden Dragon" also had advantages that the Chen Family's "Hidden Guard" couldn't match—they were the elite, meticulously selected according to the standards of recruiting disciples by Sect Holy Lands like Wuliang Mountain!

"My father..."

Chen Yuan had little impression of Chen Taiping; as a child, the person he interacted with the most was Zhou Wanyi, followed by Chen Yi and Xia Wanwan, among others.

And Chen Taiping left the Capital City of Kyoto Prefecture for Beixiong Pass when he was two years old.
