I'm only one year old what the heck Is a overturning system

Inside Yishui County.

Chen Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, ready to practice the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique.

Seeing this, Xie Changle chuckled and said, "No wonder you have such a high level of cultivation, Brother. With such rigorous practice, who would be the Heavenly Pride if not you?"

Chen Yi gave him a glance and smiled, "Isn't Brother the same?"

"Me? I'll pass."

Saying this, Xie Changle took out two very classic pink booklets from his bosom, and smirked, "I generally like to enjoy the scenery before sleeping."

Chen Yi looked at the "Ten Taoist Immortals" in his hands and was at a loss for words.

"Brother Changle, there are quite a few fellow sisters and junior sisters on there."

"Relax, relax, I fully understand the principle of 'a rabbit does not eat the grass around its burrow'; I only look at Fairies from other Taoist Sects."

Xie Changle patted his chest and whispered, "Let me tell you secretly, I have a liking for senior sisters, no feelings for junior sisters."

"..."

Chen Yi thought to say that as long as you view them with an appreciative eye, senior sisters and junior sisters are the same.

However, thinking of the proverb "walls have ears," he didn't speak.

Considering how confidently Brother Changle spoke, he was probably also worried that the words just now would be overheard by Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi next door.

"Brother, go ahead with your cultivation."

"Another day, I shall take you to experience the bustling world and guarantee it'll be an eye-opener for you."

Xie Changle lay on another bed, with legs crossed, flipping through the "Ten Taoist Immortals" with great interest.

"Okay."

Little did Chen Yi know, after taking a closer look at the cover of "Ten Taoist Immortals," he discovered that the year written on it was the first year of Yonghe.

Senior sister?

This... is a senior sister?

You should know that Chen Yi was born in the thirty-second year of Yonghe, so the first year of Yonghe...

A Fairy over thirty years older than he is might as well be a "senior sister" of the same era as the Ancient Tao?

This kind of senior sister?

She'd be better called an aunty!

But Chen Yi, upon recalling Brother Changle's former life identity as an eccentric elder of the Bai Shen Sect, didn't find it strange.

God knows how old he was when he died in his previous life...

In contrast to Chen Yi and Xie Changle's odd conversation, the discussion between Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi in the next room was much more normal.

Of course, what they talked about was even more irrelevant.

Xiao Xuanzhen sneakily eavesdropped on the conversation next door, and while secretly disdaining Brother Changle's peculiar tastes, she asked,

"Hua, tell me about your days down the mountain?"

"What does Sister want to know?" Hua Xianzi pondered for a moment, not knowing where to start.

"Anything is fine, just tell me anything that's fun, tasty, or pretty."

Xiao Xuanzhen was not picky.

She had lived in the Grand Void Sect since she was young and had never descended the mountain.

Her understanding of the world below either came from books or was from the stories of fellow sect members who had traveled down the mountain.

However, some of these tales were contradictory, leaving her unsure of what to believe.

Like when Ning Xue returned from Kyoto Prefecture and told her that the nobility were divided into many factions, each looking askance at the others.

But later, someone else mentioned that the civil servant faction proposed to reform the Sect Holy Land, and the Marquises suggested integrating the Academy into the Sect.

Furthermore, among these civil servants and Military Generals, many belonged to the same camp, with numerous families linked through marital ties.

Xiao Xuanzhen was stunned upon hearing all this.

It seemed to her like Chen Yi and Lin Xueru had a marriage alliance, but the Chen Family and Lin Family had significant disagreements over certain issues, each fighting their own battles.

Xiao Xuanzhen couldn't help exclaiming that the nobility of the Capital City were truly messy; it was too complicated and not as peaceful as staying up on the mountain.

Yet, as soon as she actually descended the mountain, she became interested in everything below.

After pondering for a moment, Hua Xianzi said, "Let's start with our trip to the Southern Barbarian Land then."

"Actually, Chuan Mansion, where my home is located, is not far from the Southern Barbarians. When my mother was angry, she would say that if we annoyed her further, she would get the barbarians to snatch us away."

"Is that really possible?" Xiao Xuanzhen's eyes widened, with an adorable and curious look, just like a curious baby.

"It's not impossible, but it should be very rare."

Hua Xianzi saw her expression, a smile appearing on her face, and continued in the same tone she would use with her younger sister Hua Yourong:

"To the south of Chuan Mansion is a fortified pass, the court won't allow those barbarians to move northward and cause trouble."

"So that was just to scare you?" Xiao Xuanzhen came to understand.

"Yes, when we were young, my second sister was the naughtiest. Usually, it was her mother was warning, but every time the one who ended up crying was the youngest."

"Hahaha, really?"

"Then Sister, will our journey to the Southern Barbarians pass by your home?"

"It should, I guess." Hua Xianzi hesitated for a moment.

It had been many years since she had last been home, and while cultivating on the mountain, she only occasionally thought of it.

Now, suddenly hearing Xiao Xuanzhen bring it up, she felt an even greater longing.

"Since that's the case, let's visit your house when we pass by Chuan Mansion."

"Is that really okay?"

Xiao Xuanzhen smiled and said, "Why not? It's almost two months till the secret realm opens up, we have ample time to make the journey."

Hua Xianzi pursed her lips and, after some thought, also nodded.

"Tomorrow, let's ask Brother Changle and Brother Chen."

"If they dare to have any second thoughts, hmph..."

...

Two days later, Chen Yi and the others spurred their horses on, leaving the territory of Jizhou Prefecture and entering Xijiang Prefecture.

A fine drizzle fell from the sky.

With the overcast clouds, the official road had fewer travelers, and only some Jianghu Guests in straw raincoats were hurrying on their way.

Xie Changle looked at the sky and opened his mouth to say, "Junior brother, let's find a place to rest before continuing on."

"Alright."

Chen Yi also saw that a downpour might start at any moment, and rather than getting drenched in mud and water, he preferred to wait until after the storm to continue.

Although with their cultivation they could keep the rain off, it would be a needless waste of True Yuan.

As the sky grew even darker, after riding hard for an hour, they finally saw an inn along the way.

Xie Changle exclaimed with relief, "Luckily there's a place to stay, otherwise we would have had to find a cave to shelter from the rain."

The four of them then took care of their horses and entered the inn.

The inn was not large, with five tile-roofed rooms, a stable, and a tavern.

"Let's eat something here first; I'm afraid we'll have to make do with staying in the tavern tonight."

Xie Changle glanced at those tile-roofed rooms, all of which were communal bunks.

It wouldn't be a problem for him and Chen Yi, but it would be somewhat inconvenient for Hua Xianzi and Xiao Xuanzhen.

"Brother Changle, please arrange it."

Chen Yi replied and looked at the carriages parked in the inn, furrowing his brow slightly.

The Chu character?

He didn't recognize the emblem on the carriage, but he knew that only family nobility could have a family crest.

"The Chu Family, could it be the one from Jizhou Prefecture?"

Thinking thus, Chen Yi followed Xie Changle into the tavern and saw that it was nearly full of people.

A few individuals dressed in fine clothes, surrounded by attendants and guards, were sitting leisurely in the innermost part of the room.

The rest were indifferent-looking Jianghu Guests in various attires who glanced over when Chen Yi and his party entered and then continued eating and drinking.

Xie Changle managed to find a table, and the four took their seats.

"Bring some food, good wine, and good meat."

While speaking, Xie Changle also scanned the room, his gaze stopping on one of the finely dressed individuals, his brow slightly wrinkling as he used Sound Transmission to speak to Chen Yi:

"Junior brother, that's the Chu Family from Jizhou Prefecture."

Chen Yi thought it was quite a coincidence, "It really is them."

The Chu Family and the Grand Void Sect were both in Jizhou Prefecture, and since there were quite a few Chu Family Disciples within the sect, their relationship was considered close.

He then took out some snacks and pastries from his Sumeru Bag and placed them on the table.

Xie Changle eyed them with envy, "It's really convenient to have such a treasure, junior brother."

Chen Yi just smiled and didn't reply with Sound Transmission.

Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi both noticed they were using Sound Transmission but refrained from speaking out of curiosity.

With outsiders present, they both remembered Xie Changle's earlier admonition — unless necessary, it was best not to speak.

This was an experience-based advice from Xie Changle.

The so-called "beauty is a curse," especially when it was the "beauty" listed among the "Ten Taoist Immortals."

Not to mention showing faces, even revealing a bit of their voices could attract some "disasters."

The Chu Family Disciples seated not far away, two men and two women, were all dressed in red robes with standing collars.

The men wore feather crowns, quite handsome in appearance.

The women had a few phoenix hairpins inserted in their hair, not exceptionally beautiful, but could be described as having fine eyebrows and pretty eyes.

They glanced at the pastries Chen Yi took out and then stopped paying attention, their demeanor haughty as they chatted.

One of the older youths said, "We must be cautious on our journey to the Southern Barbarian Land."

Next to him, a girl covered her mouth and giggled, "Brother, are you scared?"

"What are you talking about? This isn't fear, this is cautiousness!"

The young man glared at her and then turned to a guard behind him, "Uncle Wang, am I right?"

"Master is correct."

That guard, dressed in tight-fitting clothes with a long saber at his waist, glanced sideways at Chen Yi and his group while replying.

He vaguely felt that these people had a calm aura and demeanor, indicating their strength was likely not ordinary.

Having walked the Martial World for many years, he knew that outside one's home, wealth was secondary; personal strength was the true confidence.

"Let's not talk about that for now; come and see the latest Heavenly Pride List I just got. I haven't even had the chance to look at it myself yet, so I wanted to share it with you all."

Another youth took out two copies of the golden and silver Heavenly Pride List, smiling, "I wonder if the 'Little Sword Immortal' is still the Earthly List First."

Little Sword Immortal?

Xiao Xuanzhen's hand paused as she was eating a pastry, and then she looked towards Chen Yi and blinked under her veil, using Sound Transmission to say:

"They're talking about you, 'Little Sword Immortal' junior brother."

Chen Yi glanced at her annoyedly and decided to ignore her.

These days, he had heard his name mentioned by other Jianghu Guests so many times that he had grown accustomed to it.

Just then, Xie Changle sent a Sound Transmission that made Chen Yi startle.

"Junior brother, something is not right!"
