I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 455 - 197 Heading West! (Subscription Request)_3

In my memory, ever since the sisters left Chuan Mansion and entered the Grand Void Sect, Hua Youxiang had never heard this phrase from her elder sister’s mouth again.

But she still shamelessly lingered without leaving.

Ridiculous.

She wasn’t afraid even as a child, let alone now that her cultivation had reached the Spirit Aperture Realm?

"Sister, what are your plans with senior brother?"

"Wha, what plans?" Hua Xianzi turned her head away, not wanting her to see her expression, and then simply lay on her side too.

"Getting married." Hua Youxiang chuckled and hugged her, saying, "Sister, don’t tell me you’ve never thought about this."

Hua Xianzi’s body stiffened for a moment, her face revealing some realization.

In that instant, she thought of Chen Yi and also Lin Xueru.

After a while.

Hua Xianzi spoke languidly, "It’s getting late, let’s sleep."

...

Hua Youxiang wanted to continue asking, but seeing her sister extinguishing the lamp in the room with a wave of her hand, she could only lie down flat on her back.

"Sister, no matter what decision you make, I will always support you."

"Mhm..."

...

Chen Yi’s departure didn’t alarm anyone, but a few people within Kyoto Prefecture still noticed the fluctuations of his Sword Intent.

Just like the Great Master Lin Zhongke from Kyoto Academy, like the two aged guards hidden within the Imperial Palace, like the abbot Kongjing from Dakong Temple.

Imperial Palace.

From morning, the court meeting went on till near midnight, and only then did the ministers leave one after another.

Each of them had a serious expression, occasionally sighing as if troubled by something.

"Duke Jingye Zhou Tiance actually proposed that Chen Yuan should take over the Marquis position, has he gone senile?"

"Even if that Chen Yuan is born of Zhou Wanyi, possessing the Zhou Family bloodline, and even recognized by the ancestors of the Zhou Family, but, but this..."

"This damn it, wouldn’t that just benefit the Chen Family for nothing?"

King Zhenbei Du Qing listened to the low cursing of Minister He Yunwen from the Military Department, subtly pursing his lips without speaking.

He had faintly perceived Zhou Tiance’s intentions long ago, and he repeatedly subtly hinted at Chen Taiping. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Yet it still came to this point today.

"Your Highness, aren’t you going to say something?" He Yunwen looked at his expression and asked in a low voice:

"If Chen Yuan takes over the position of Duke Jingye, then the Chen Family will have two Marquises."

"Add to that the ’Little Sword Immortal’ Chen Yi who made a name throughout the world, the reputation of the entire Chen Family might just overshadow you and me!"

King Zhenbei looked at him and said indifferently, "No matter who takes over the position of Duke Jingye, they are the Marquis who defends Beixiong Pass."

"Minister He does not know since he isn’t on the front lines that life in the face of constant danger is not for everyone."

"If I were Taiping, I would risk my life not to wish such responsibility on all my descendants."

Minister He Yunwen chuckled awkwardly a few times, his face looking somewhat displeased.

He, as the Chief of the Military Department, was responsible for the deployment and internal affairs of all the Marquises, a heavy responsibility.

But in the words of King Zhenbei, he seemed to have become a "puppet" who did not go to the front lines.

"I say, gentlemen, the key issue now is not about the theoretical right or wrong, but why did the Holy Emperor so readily agree to Zhou Tiance?"

At this moment, Minister Lu Lingjun of the Personnel Department said with locked brows:

"What surprises me the most is, when Old Marquis Zhou proposed that Chen Yuan should change his surname to Zhou, the Holy Emperor didn’t agree."

"He even said that either Chen Yuan takes over as Duke Jingye or he renounces the Zhou Family’s Marquis lineage."

"Do you think the Holy Emperor is making it difficult for Old Marquis Zhou, or does he want to affirm the ’two Marquises in one family’ for the Chen Family?"

Hearing this, Du Qing’s eyes flickered slightly, and he did not recklessly discuss the Holy Emperor’s intentions. Although he did not understand why the Holy Emperor would make such a request, he was currently in the Imperial City and did not want his rash words to be overheard.

However, He Yunwen echoed: "I too am astonished, plainly allowing Chen Yuan to change his surname to Zhou would not only shut the mouths of the masses but also fulfill Old Marquis Zhou’s wish."

"Yet the Holy Emperor agreed to everything else but steadfastly held up this one point, right over Old Marquis Zhou’s lifeline."

"Did you see? The expression on Old Marquis Zhou’s face?"

"I did," Lu Lingjun murmured doubtfully, "That old face was extremely unpleased."

"If there hadn’t been Physicians waiting outside the hall, I would suspect that Old Marquis Zhou could have been angered to death right there."

"Fortunately, he eventually agreed, which also gave the Holy Emperor a way out, and soon a royal decree will announce the matter of Chen Yuan succeeding as Duke Jingye."

"However, I think that Chen Yuan does not seem easy to manage; when the Holy Emperor asked him to expedite the marriage with the Fourteenth Princess, he didn’t agree."

...

Listening to the discussion of the two, King Zhenbei Du Qing felt a sense of fatigue.

He suddenly envied King Gongye Jiahong of the Southern Garrison.

That old fellow resolved the crisis at South-Garrison Pass without doing anything and incidentally expanded territory by a thousand miles.

Why did it seem that when things came to him, it was the "two Marquises in one family" of the Chen Family, the "inheritance of Duke Jingye," and the "Holy Emperor arranging a marriage"...

With all these troubles coming his way, he couldn’t even begin to imagine how the soldiers at Beixiong Pass would react upon learning of this.

Thinking of this.

Du Qing quickened his pace, completely ignoring the callings from the two ministers behind him and headed straight back to Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

He almost forgot—no matter what, he had to inform Chen Taiping about this as soon as possible.

After all, Chen Yuan was his legitimate son!

After the ministers left the Imperial City, the expression of Emperor Wei in the deep palace suddenly became much colder.

Standing in the empty Imperial Palace, looking at the smooth and bright Purple Jade Stone Plate and the Sky-reaching Pillars on both sides, his heart was greatly agitated.

"Good, very good!"

"The inheritance of a military Marquis, such an important matter, and yet he dared to force me to make a decision within half a day!"

"Zhou Tiance, you old scoundrel, not acting like a son should!"

Liu Gao on one side was as quiet as if frozen, bowing his head as if wishing himself invisible.
