I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 456 - 197 Heading West! (Subscription Request)_4

Of course, he knew in his heart that it was not Holy Emperor who should be blamed for getting angry, it was indeed Zhou Tiance who was up to no good.

After initially hearing about the "Marquis’s succession", the Holy Emperor didn’t refuse or agree but simply stated to discuss it at the court meeting the next day.

But Zhou Tiance stubbornly refused and even wept, saying how his Zhou Family contributed greatly to the Great Wei Dynasty, and how they sacrificed their lives in the battle at Beixiong Pass and so on. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

This caused the Holy Emperor’s complexion to change drastically, leaving him unable to voice any objections, ultimately leading to an urgent summons of several Chief of Staff and Prince Zhenbei for discussion.

If they hadn’t reached a conclusion in the end, with both sides making concessions and deciding on Chen Yuan’s succession as Duke Jingye, who knows what chaos might have ensued.

Liu Gao could even imagine that if Zhou Tiance refused to yield to death, he would indeed be dead.

And there’s also that Chen Yuan, rejecting a marriage bestowed upon him...

"Liu Gao!"

"Present!"

"Go, call Ji Xingyun over!"

"Yes!"

Liu Gao shuddered and quickly trotted off from the Imperial Palace to the Night Watch Department on the edge of the Imperial City.

Disaster, disaster, disaster... The Holy Emperor is truly enraged this time...

Even calling Ji Xingyun, the Director of the Night Watch Department, it seems without the death of a few in the Capital City, it would be difficult to quell the Holy Emperor’s fury.

Ah, why bother?

After the entire hall was left with only Emperor Wei, the anger on his face gradually dissipated until it returned to calm.

After a long while...

Emperor Wei’s lips parted as he uttered an inaudible voice, "Tell me, how much did that old brute actually find out?"

In the deserted hall, a sudden thin and sharp voice, akin to that of a male duck, spoke:

"Very little."

"From this old servant’s perspective, he seems to be aware that his days are numbered, wanting to resolve the issue of the Zhou Family’s succession before his time is up."

"Heh, he dares not go see his ancestors empty-handed," Emperor Wei chuckled and said:

"But I had already guessed his plan, and I’m not surprised. It’s rather Chen Yuan..."

"Does he appear different from the ’Absolute Blade Inheritor’ you mentioned?"

The thin voice spoke, "Indeed, he is quite different. From what this old servant observed, his Sword Intent of the Absolute Blade differs noticeably from that of Yan Hai."

"Why would that be?"

"This old servant does not know; perhaps Chen Yuan has encountered some unique fate, which has led to his Absolute Blade transforming from ’Heartless Blade’ to ’Affectionate Blade’."

"Affectionate Blade..." A trace of admiration appeared on Emperor Wei’s face, "If so, Chen Yuan is still considered to be a person with emotions and righteousness."

"No wonder Jin Yu regards him so highly, she even defies me to change her intended to him."

The hidden voice did not speak, seemingly reluctant to discuss the matters of the Royal Family.

"In the coming days, you must take more care to observe Chen Yuan for me," Emperor Wei continued nonchalantly:

"If he truly is as righteous and empathetic as you and I suspect, then I will insist Jin Yu be married to him."

The hidden voice responded, "Isn’t the Holy Emperor worried that the Princess might be harmed after being married off?"

"How dare he!?" Emperor Wei snorted, "My daughter favoring him is his blessing; it’s not up to him to disagree."

"Moreover, among my children, Jin Yu is second to none in looks, knowledge, and Cultivation. What would he be dissatisfied with?"

The person in the shadows: "..."

Being a eunuch, he truly couldn’t tell the difference among women; in his eyes, they were all but painted skulls.

Silence for a moment.

Emperor Wei seemed to think of something and casually inquired, "What about Chen Yi?"

"He went to Duke Xing’s Mansion today and stayed at the Grand Void Sect’s residences afterwards."

"When he left there in the evening, his Sword Intent was concealed for the duration of thirty minutes, as if he had gone to meet someone."

Emperor Wei, slightly surprised, then asked, "Where is he now?"

The hidden person carefully sensed through the entire Capital City, yet found nothing.

Only near the Grand Void Sect’s residences did he sense a faint trace of Slaughter Sword Intent.

Seeming to ascend...

"Hiss!"

"What is it? Did you discover something?!"

"He left the Capital City heading west, it looks like he’s going to—Wuliang Mountain!"

Emperor Wei was greatly shocked and suddenly stood up, "Quick, set off immediately and follow him, we cannot let anything happen to him!"

"But..."

"With the Great Master and Old Huang here, there no need to worry about here!" Emperor Wei countered.

Hearing this, the hidden presence hesitated for a moment before leaving as commanded.

After everything calmed down, Emperor Wei only then sat back on the throne, revealing a bitter smile.

"Chen Taiping, oh, Chen Taiping, your two sons are really a handful!"

"I don’t even know how the hell you raised them?!"
