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

Compared to the surrounding scenery, he found the ministers standing in the Imperial Court more intriguing.

Just as he had heard from Xie Dongan before, the ministers in the court were divided into left and right factions.

—On the left, under the lead of Left Minister Xie Jing, were the civil servants, while on the right, led by Prince Zhenbei Du Qing, were the marquises and military generals. The middle positions were occupied by several princes and royal family members.

Clear distinctions, yet also revealing underlying problems.

Perhaps due to his arrival, ministers would occasionally cast scrutinizing glances at him.

Especially the Left Minister, who turned his head more frequently than others to observe him, causing Chen Yi to frown slightly.

Before he joined the Grand Void Sect, he had always heard rumors about Xie Jing.

From inspections of the Wei Dynasty's Seventeen States to disaster relief efforts, or overseeing river works and large constructions.

In the eyes of ordinary folks, Xie Jing was a living embodiment of a just and upright official.

However, in the eyes of the Marquis faction, there was more caution towards Xie Jing, a sentiment he had learned from Chen Lixin and Chen Lide on his way here.

Both Prince Zhenbei and Duke Xing had advised him to be wary, which showed the status Xie Jing held among the court ministers.

However, Chen Yi did not care much about these matters.

Whether Xie Jing was good or bad was none of his concern; before he returned to Kyoto Prefecture, Xie Jing was just Xie Dongan's grandfather in his eyes, nothing more.

Yet upon his return to Kyoto Prefecture, especially after learning that Chen Yuan met Xie Jing before taking the position of Duke Jingye and severing ties with the Chen Family, he grew suspicious of Xie Jing.

Now, seeing Xie Jing's minor gestures, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel even more suspicious.

—He very much wanted to know what Chen Yuan had discussed with this Left Minister that day!

It's worth noting that other than the civil servants, he also spotted the figure of Wei Letian among the royal family members.

Only now, compared to earlier, Wei Letian appeared as if he didn't dare to meet his gaze.

In fact, while Chen Yi was observing the other ministers, there were doubts arising in their minds as well.

Many had guessed that his appearance here might be related to the incident at Kyoto Academy last night.

Yet few knew the details, leading several civil servants to secretly inquire of Xie Jing through sound transmission, only to meet with silence.

Xie Jing ignored all these inquiries, not responding even to the sound transmission from the Emperor's brother, mulling over his own matters instead.

Just at that moment.

"The Holy Emperor arrives!"

As Liu Gao briskly entered the main hall announcing vocally, an immediate hush fell over the entire Imperial Palace.

Then came the sound of footsteps, unhurried and steady, until at last, Chen Yi saw the emperor's figure.

The appearance was hardly any different from what he saw in childhood; instead, with his current cultivation realm and the "Deceiving Mask" on his face, he perceived more.

[With the power of the "Deceiving Mask," see through the fate of a dynasty! Reward: +5 Reversal Points.]

[Note: An emperor who does not cultivate martial arts but cultivates the body of fortune, upon ascension will unify with the dragon vein within the territory, using the power of fortune to bless the people!]

Fortune, Dragon Vein.

Chen Yi suddenly recalled the five-clawed golden dragon he saw over Kyoto Prefecture while battling "Black Impermanence" Liao Ai.

So, Emperor Wei was not without cultivation; rather, his cultivation technique and skills differed from ordinary cultivators, focusing on the fortune of the dynasty.

While he scrutinized, Emperor Wei sat regally on the throne, glancing at him with a smile on his dignified face.

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow silently, meeting his gaze calmly, without showing any sign of intimidation despite their differing positions.

Seeing this, Emperor Wei's smile grew brighter, and without waiting for Liu Gao to call for formalities, he waved his hand and said:

"Let's dispense with the formalities."

Liu Gao readily stepped to the side, standing at attention, his gaze downward.

The ministers in the court appeared slightly surprised, casting discreet glances at Chen Yi, speculating the reason.

Ignoring them, Emperor Wei directed his eyes at Chen Yi and asked: "Heroic Marquis, when did you emerge from seclusion?"

"A few days ago." Chen Yi didn't expect such casual conversation in the Imperial Court but showed no unusual reaction.

"Ah, it's good. The emergence of Heroic Marquis brings me much peace of mind," Emperor Wei said with a smile.

"Did you hear about the incident at Kyoto Academy last night?"

Chen Yi nodded knowingly, "I heard."

"What do you think?"

"I watched."

"..."

Many ministers paused, and even with the gravity of the court's location, it was hard to completely restrain their unease.

They couldn't understand why Emperor Wei treated Chen Yi with such regard.

Emperor Wei chuckled quietly and shook his head, saying: "It seems Heroic Marquis differs somewhat from the ruthless resolute figure of the rumors in the martial world."

Chen Yi simply folded his hands and refrained from speaking further.

Before him, Du Qing and Lin Hansong exchanged covert glances, both inwardly tense for Chen Yi.

While they understood that with Chen Yi's current cultivation realm, as long as he didn't commit a grievous error, Emperor Wei would certainly regard him highly.

But like the other ministers, they didn't anticipate that Emperor Wei would be so openly preferential in the court.

Emperor Wei scanned the room and said with a smile: "If you have no matters today, you may dismiss. I still have some matters to discuss privately with the Heroic Marquis."

Before the ministers could react, Xie Jing, positioned to the left, immediately stood and said: "I have a matter to report!"

"Speak!" Emperor Wei glanced at him, instantly reigning in his smile.

Xie Jing spoke with an unchanged tone: "Last night, after the Kyoto Academy Master and the Third Master clashed, several individuals left Kyoto Prefecture."

"Following an investigation, we have now identified their identities."
