I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 416 - 184: Bestowed Marriage (Please Subscribe)

Kyoto Prefecture, Moon Viewing Tower.

"At that time, the stars were shining brightly, but their brilliance was concealed by a surge of demon energy, and the poison fog spread by the Poisonous Old Monster engulfed the entire forest making it impossible to see even your hand in front of your face."

"Then, with a thunderous crack, ’Little Sword Immortal’ Chen Yi split the sky with one sword. Guess what happened next?"

The storyteller slapped the table with a clapper and proudly surveyed the crowd of customers in the tavern, asking.

At this moment, Moon Viewing Tower was packed to the brim, with three layers of people inside and three layers outside; the entire hall was stuffed full by Jianghu guests from outside the local area.

Only the local commoners sat in the corner, seemingly very interested in such a spectacle, munching on peanuts and sipping wine, making comments about these people.

"Damn your suspense, out with it!"

"Come on... Who doesn’t know that ’Little Sword Immortal’ slew a host of Evil Demons outside South River Prefecture, and even Great Demons that snuck in from the Demon Court?"

"Old man, if you don’t continue, I’m going to lose my temper!"

Seeing that he had aroused the audience’s ire, the storyteller quickly apologized with a smile and a respectful bow:

"Please forgive me, forgive me."

"After ’Little Sword Immortal’ Chen Yi’s ascension with one sword, a vivid White Tiger appeared in the sky."

"Do you know the origin of that White Tiger?"

This time, the storyteller did not dare to tease the audience further and continued, "In ancient times, there were four Divine Beasts that naturally emerged from the earth."

"That White Tiger was the Divine Beast ruling over the western heavens. Although it signifies auspiciousness, it controls slaughter..."

Someone asked, "Old man, are you suggesting that ’Little Sword Immortal’ is the reincarnation of the White Tiger God?"

The storyteller was not irritated by the interruption and shook his head, saying: "The Divine Monarch cannot be disrespected, but ’Little Sword Immortal’ is definitely not the reincarnation of a divine monarch."

"As to why the White Tiger God appeared after his sword strike, it must be related to his Sword Dao."

"It is said that previously, at South-Garrison Pass, ’Little Sword Immortal’ descended riding a tiger, reaching the heights of the pass and slaying tens of thousands from the Barbarian Army with one sword."

The Jianghu Guests from various places, already aware of the recent battle at South-Garrison Pass, reminisced upon hearing once again about "Little Sword Immortal" Chen Yi slaying Evil Demons.

"Slaughter, slaughter..."

"This ’Little Sword Immortal’ has a grand murderous intent, indeed the first in the current world."

"Isn’t that so? Ever since he joined the Grand Void Sect, every time he has descended from the mountain to travel, few enemies have survived."

"Even a Heavenly Pride from the Yuhua Immortal Sect who came to challenge was slain by him on the spot."

"Such a person is also a son of Marquis, and even received a royal favor, if he were to succeed the position of Duke Wuan, wouldn’t that be problematic?"

"What? From the sound of it, brother, you dislike ’Little Sword Immortal’?"

"Hmph! Martial Artists cause chaos in the state; you brutes understand nothing."

"Nothing else, just his conduct at South-Garrison Pass doesn’t fit the graceful deportment of a gentleman."

"..."

I don’t know who started it, but suddenly in the Moon Viewing Tower, quite a few busybodies began discussing the excessive murderous intent of Chen Yi, stating that it was not a good thing.

Some even inexplicably brought up the succession of Duke Wuan, expressing their hope that Chen Yi would not obtain that honor.

"Mind your radishes and less the affairs that are none of your concern; the succession issue of Marquis is a major affair of the Dynasty, how could it be something you people can discuss?"

"Besides, if ’Little Sword Immortal’ does not inherit the Marquis position, would you rather have Absolute Blade Chen Yuan inherit it?"

"If that happens, it might be better to let ’Little Sword Immortal’ do it."

"I heard that Duke Wuan has three sons, one of whom is a student at Capital Academy and not a Martial Artist..."

"Chen Fan? That might not be a bad choice."

Unnoticed by others, there was a young man in blue brocade clothes and wearing a felt hat, very low-key, drinking wine in the corner.

If you looked closely, you would see that beneath the felt hat was a head of silver-white hair that didn’t match his face.

It was none other than one of the subjects of the discussions—Chen Yuan, the legitimate son of Duke Wuan.

And opposite him sat a young scholar in blue and white, equally handsome and bearing some resemblance to Chen Yuan.

The most striking feature of this young man was his eyes, shining like stars, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Fan, watching the Jianghu Guests and commoners of Capital City keenly discussing the succession of Duke Wuan, asked with interest:

"Big brother, is Second Brother really as ruthlessly murderous as they say?"

Chen Yuan thought for a while and replied, "What they’re saying isn’t right."

His second brother’s temperament is much more mature than his, whether dealing with enemies or friends, he has his own principles.

He has been like this since childhood, Lin Xueru, Wang Yongnian, Du Yanqing, and Du Yan and others all look up to the second brother.

"What does Big Brother think about Second Brother then?" Chen Fan asked curiously.

Ever since he could remember, people around him would mention Chen Yi, mostly praising his exceptional talent.

Not only within Capital City Prefecture, but even across the whole Wei Dynasty, there were few who could surpass his second brother.

As a child, Chen Fan did not understand and only felt that his second brother was highly valued.

Even after leaving Marquis Mansion for over ten years, his second uncle Chen Taixing still talked about him frequently, and so did the rest of his uncles and aunts.

It was not until Chen Yi’s name rose to the top of the Heavenly Pride List that Chen Fan saw his Second Brother’s figure for the first time, and his only thought was:

—He also wanted his name to be known throughout the world like his Second Brother’s!

However, after Chen Fan was accepted into the Capital Academy, he realized that he could never be like Chen Yi.

Although the Master at the Academy often praised him for his dedication and outstanding talent for Confucianism, he still understood that he was simply one of the noble youths.

Chen Yuan looked at him and calmly asked, "What about you? What is your impression of Second Brother?"
