I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 418 - 185: Burn Incense! (Seeking Subscriptions)

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Chen Yi and company had traveled through Nanhe Prefecture, crossing Qujiang, and entered Kyoto Prefecture.

The scenery along the way was not much different; one could say that aside from prefecture cities, county towns, and villages, the uninhabited places were all mountains and rivers of scenic beauty.

Seeing too much of it, it naturally didn’t seem extraordinary anymore.

Moreover, after encountering a group of evil demons and being attacked by demons, the process of traveling could only be described with the dull word ’monotonous.’

Fortunately, because of Hua Youxiang, there was a lot more laughter and joviality among the group.

Er Hua, genuinely a happy pill, often made everyone laugh with a simple sentence or question.

Especially Lin Xueru and Xiao Xuanzhen.

The young girl loved to laugh, as if she treated everyone and everything with a smile.

Xiao Xuanzhen, on the other hand, had little contact with Hua Youxiang, and only during this trip down the mountain did they gradually become familiar with each other.

In just a few short days, they became like close sisters who regretted not meeting sooner.

As everyone knows, Er Hua was very lively on Sword Edge Mountain, so whoever became her friend was definitely not some demure character.

Therefore, when everyone was sitting in the carriage, they could often hear the inexplicable laughter of Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Youxiang.

They were actually secretly using Sound Transmission to chat privately while keeping it from everyone else, and they refused to divulge the content of their conversation.

Even when Lin Xueru asked out of curiosity, they both strictly abided by their pact of secrecy and did not utter a single word.

Only Hua Xianzi, taking advantage of her identity as the elder sister, managed to pry some fragmented phrases from Hua Youxiang.

"It’s nothing, sister. It’s just Senior Sister Xiao telling me about Brother Chen’s manner when he descended the mountain." freewёbnoνel.com

"Something about how to highlight his strength, silently killing people with a single sword strike, and also sneaking into the brothel to save someone..."

"What’s funny about that?"

"Senior Sister Xiao says, haha... She says Brother Chen has the potential to be a ’gentleman on the beam,’ sneaky and all mysterious, haha..."

A ’gentleman on the beam’?

After learning of this, Hua Xianzi couldn’t help but grin to herself, but she also pinched Er Hua, warning her not to speak of Chen Yi like that behind his back.

Of course, she did not tell Chen Yi the actual story.

After all, the term "gentleman on the beam" was not a pleasant one and had nothing to do with Chen Yi.

After entering the boundary marker of Kyoto Prefecture, there were many more pedestrians on the official roads of varying appearances.

Apart from the majority being merchants from different regions, there were more jianghu guests who came to watch the grand event in Kyoto Prefecture.

In fact, since the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm incident, the jianghu guests who loved to join in the excitement hadn’t felt such a thrill in a long time.

The Southern Barbarian Secret Realm incident had indeed left an indelible shadow on these jianghu guests.

Even though many of them did not go for various reasons, just listening to their senior survivors recount it made them shiver with cold.

Such as the Barbarian King appearing, sweeping with a single strike and slaughtering more than half of the jianghu guests, and tens of thousands of demons besieging them, and so on.

Among them were those who were fortunate to run fast and jump high, as well as those who were grateful for Chen Yi’s life-saving grace, but the majority were still filled with fear after the event.

Therefore, after the incident in the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm spread back to the Wei Dynasty, the jianghu guests who liked to look up to the Heavenly Pride or the legendary seniors, all became much more restrained.

Before joining in the excitement of a place, they would always weigh it carefully to prevent an outcome like "missed the excitement but died in the process."

But such caution could be ignored at the "Great Wei Dynasty’s grand event."

What a joke.

Kyoto Prefecture is where the esteemed emperor of the Great Wei resides, the most critically important place in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Besides the Kyoto Academy and Dakong Temple, two holy lands, it is also where the core high-ranking members of the Night Watch Department and Black Armor Guard are based.

Only those who think their life is too long would cause trouble in Kyoto Prefecture.

Moreover, this grand event not only gathers the young Heavenly Pride of the whole Great Wei but also many Sect Masters, Sect Leaders, and so on from various holy lands.

— No one believes that something akin to the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm incident would occur in the capital of the Wei Dynasty.

However, along the way, Chen Yi noticed a large number of monks wearing various Kasayas heading to Kyoto Prefecture.

Among them, not a few were from holy sites like Dakong Temple, far more than one could imagine.

"Isn’t this grand event supposed to be a competition among the Heavenly Pride? Why does it look like it’s a Buddhist assembly?"

Wang Yongnian watched the monks walking by the window and even counted them in his mind, coming up with the number "one hundred and forty-three."

That was just the monks near them; how many more there were in the distance was still unknown.

"Perhaps there has been some change of plans."

Chen Yi’s Sword Intent was far more perceptive than what Wang Yongnian could see; roughly, there were monks from nearly thirty monasteries along the road.

Not only were there monks from the Wei Dynasty, but also those from as far as the West Continent Buddha Country and the East Continent Islands.

But what was odd was that these people, even when they met, had no interaction, not even greeting each other with an "Amitabha Buddha," as if they were strangers.

Quite peculiar.

However, after listening for a long time, Chen Yi could not figure out their purpose for coming to Kyoto Prefecture together. He simply thought that some of the Heavenly Pride were there to participate in the "Great Wei Dynasty’s grand event."

"These monks look like they are picking a quarrel, each with a serious demeanor and reticent speech."

Du Yanqing said thoughtfully, "Brother Yi, it seems that the Buddhist sect is making big moves."

Chen Yi nodded, "That should be the case. But this is the internal affairs of the Buddhist sect, unrelated to us."

The premise was that those monks would not get involved in the grand event, or else cause a conflict like a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, or Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

In fact, Chen Yi had once seen some ancient texts mention similar events.

Like the saint mentioned previously from Kyoto Academy and the Royal Family member who established Dakong Temple.
