I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 188 Drawing the Sword (Subscription Request)

Xie Dongan knew that the Western Buddhist Kingdom was established almost at the same time as the Wei Dynasty.

But the area is controlled by major temples, and even ordinary people there worship Buddha.

To some extent, the people there have a sense of abnormal development compared to the people of the Wei Dynasty.

Just like a disabled person with a broken leg, they do nothing productive all day and just spend their days worshiping Buddha.

But after Buddhism was spread to the Wei Dynasty, they wanted to use the old practices on the Wei people, but were strongly opposed by Confucianism and Taoism.

During the most difficult times, no matter if they were in the court or in the underworld, they would kill any monk they saw.

This situation did not change until the construction of Dakong Temple.

If it weren't for the fact that hundreds of years ago, the brother of the then Emperor Wei converted to Buddhism and built the Dakong Temple and became the first abbot, Buddhism would still not be as strong as it is today.

Thinking of this, Xie Dong'an looked at the monks below again, secretly memorized their appearances in his mind, and waited to return to the Kyoto Academy to ask a few gentlemen.

"Ang'er, if the emperor grants marriage to Chen Yuan, will Chen Yuan marry Princess Jin Yu obediently?"

Jiang Ye posed another difficult question.

Xie Dongan glanced at him and asked unhappily, "Xiao Ye, are you interested in Princess Jinyu?"

"Me? I didn't!" Jiang Ye blushed and shook his head repeatedly:

"I just thought about Chen Yuan's identity as the heir of the Absolute Sword, and felt that he might not be a good match for Princess Jin Yu."

"It's better to worry about it than to worry about it. His Majesty is not worried, so why are you worried?"

Xie Dongan poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Instead of thinking about these trivial matters here, you might as well go back to the academy and practice some more boxing and kicking."

"The teacher said that if your performance in this event is not up to standard, you will have to copy the Sage's Book ten times every day."

"..."

Jiang Ye made a bitter face and muttered, "The teacher only talked about performance, but he didn't say what rank I should reach to be considered good."

"With your current level of cultivation, you can forget about making it into the top ten, but you can still strive for the top twenty." Upon hearing this, Xie Dong'an replied casually.

"Top 20? Still trying?" Jiang Ye asked unhappily, "Angel, am I that bad?"

"Not good! Still a long way to go!"

Xie Dongan thought of Chen Yi, who was riding so fast and far away, and then thought of the disciple of the great master, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Monsters, all monsters!
If there is one evildoer, he can still fight for the second place. But if there are two evildoers, what is the point of fighting for him?

Add to that the closed disciples of several hidden masters in the martial arts world...Xie Dongan even doubted whether he could make it into the top ten.

Jiang Ye said, "Among the universities, I will definitely be ranked in the top ten. And if we include the Taoist sect, I have no hope of being in the top ten, maybe the top twenty."

"Then there are the Buddhist sects, uh, the hidden sects, uh, and the royal family and disciples of noble families, uh..."

The more he calculated, the more disappointed Jiang Ye felt.

Considering that he was only fifteen years old, he had already reached the fourth level of spiritual cultivation and had mastered the art of boxing. He was definitely a genius.

But compared with Chen Yi, Xie Dongan and a group of his peers, he couldn't even make it into the top 20.

This is only in the Wei Dynasty. If the scope is expanded to the entire Tianyuan Continent, who knows if he can enter the top 100?
In the end, Jiang Ye accepted his fate and directly took half the jar of wine and drank it down.

"Drink slowly, be careful not to drink too much and upset the gentlemen."

"Don't worry, I may not be good at anything else, but I'm not afraid of anyone when it comes to drinking!"

Xie Dongan just let him do it and drank by himself, occasionally picking up a peanut to eat with the wine.

"So you are here. It took me a long time to find you."

At this moment, a crisp voice came from outside the door, making Xie Dongan frown slightly.

But soon he saw a hand reaching in from behind the curtain of the box, and his expression instantly returned to calm. He stood up and straightened his scholar's gown.

Jiang Ye also stood up, and when he saw a jade-like face, he folded his hands and saluted:
"Senior Brother Wang Yang."

"Brother Wang," Xie Dongan also saluted and said, "How do you have time to leave the academy?"

The man was seven feet tall, wearing a pure white long gown, a silk scarf on his head, and had a handsome face. He was truly a peerless beauty.

It turned out to be Wang Yang, the last disciple of the great master of Kyoto Academy.

He waved his hand, sat directly by the window, looked at the two of them with a half-smile, and said:
"Ever since you returned to Kyoto Prefecture, you haven't been in the academy all day. Are you avoiding me?"

"How could that be? Senior brother, you're just joking, haha." Jiang Ye signaled Xie Dongan with his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth a few times.

Ange'er, I leave it to you. I can't handle him.

Xie Dongan ignored him and said sternly, "The master has instructed that no one in the academy should disturb me."

"I knew it was the teacher's order," Wang Yang opened the young master's fan in his hand, waved it twice, and said with a smile:
"But you two are so obedient, which makes my brother very unhappy. You should be punished."

"..."

Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye looked at each other and bowed helplessly, saying, "Let Senior Brother handle it."

Nothing.

Etiquette comes first in Kyoto Academy. This senior brother Wang Yang is not only a disciple of the great master, but also one of the few semi-saints in the entire academy.

Not to mention the two of them, even some Confucian scholars in the court would show great respect to him when they saw him.

Of course, if this were the case, the two of them wouldn't think too much about it.

In fact, this "unparalleled young master" Brother Wang Yang is very good at a kind of "tactics" that is very tiring.

Anyone he targets will definitely clear up all the doubts in his mind, otherwise he will follow them from morning to night.

Even when eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, etc., he would follow me.

This really caused a headache for everyone in Kyoto University from top to bottom.

Coupled with his identity and cultivation level, Xie Dongan and others had a headache, but they could not avoid it and could only let it go.

"Then I'll punish you by making you drink with me today."

Wang Yang looked at the food and wine on the table, his eyes instantly brightened and he said with a gleam of light.

"it is good……"

"Come on, come on, my two junior brothers, don't be polite, tell me about the secret realm of the Southern Barbarians."

"These days, the teacher has been keeping a close watch on me, so I haven't had time to learn about the outside world. I heard that the 'little sword fairy' killed a million soldiers with one sword?"

While Xie Dongan was complaining in his heart that the master had let this person out, he corrected him:

"The rumor is not true, it's only a few hundred thousand..."

"Hundreds of thousands of barbarians? He is truly a god!"

……

At this time, the Zhou Mansion of Jingyehou, which was located in a prosperous area, seemed very deserted, unlike the bustling most places in Kyoto Prefecture.

Although there were a number of servants including Chen Yan in the mansion, and dozens of dedicated soldiers as guards, it still lacked some vitality.

From the front yard to the middle yard, and then to the back yard, the huge house can accommodate less than a hundred people, and it is rare to see people gathered in groups of three or two.

However, the silence of Jingye Marquis Mansion was soon broken by voices.

"Master, are you back?"

Chen Kuang opened the small door to the backyard and greeted Zhou Tiance, who was dressed simply and low-key, outside the door in a low-key manner, in a low voice.

Zhou Tiance, wearing a straw hat and a coarse linen shirt, walked into the yard coughing.

"Ahem, when did you return to Kyoto Prefecture? Did Yuaner come back with you?"

Chen Yan carefully pointed to the pond in the backyard and whispered, "Master Yuan is waiting for you inside."

"Oh?"

Zhou Tiance's hunched body paused, and then he straightened up, his old face seemed to have regained vitality. "Has he seen the letter?"

"Master Yuan saw it when he came back a few days ago, and," Chen Yan said hesitantly:

"Please forgive me, Master. That day, I saw Young Master Yuan was furious, so I had to tell him the origin of 'Qianlong'."

"'Hidden Dragon'..." Zhou Tiance glanced at him, but he was not angry as usual. Instead, he said calmly:

"Yuan'er will know sooner or later, so it doesn't hurt to tell him now."

"But," Chen Yan looked at him and asked in a low voice, "What did the master say in that letter?"

"Have you made everything clear, or..."

"Let him succeed the title of Marquis of Jingye!"

Zhou Tiance replied and walked towards the pavilion by the pond.

As he walked, he ordered, "Ask the kitchen to prepare some wine and food. Yuan'er and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's eat something good today."

"Old slave, go now."

Chen Yan replied subconsciously, but his footsteps paused, and doubts arose in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Tiance, his reaction should not have been so calm after learning that Chen Yuan had returned.

Even if it is not a matter of overbearing force, one should at least act like a "grandfather".

Where did the master go? Why does he seem like a different person after coming back?

No matter what Chen Kuang thought, when he saw Zhou Tiance walking away, he hurried to the kitchen to give orders.

Zhou Tiance came to the pond alone and looked at the figure sitting upright in front of the stone table in the pavilion opposite. His cloudy eyes were a little dazed.

Watching the fog...

If it weren't for the long silver hair that allowed him to recognize Chen Yuan's identity, he really thought that time had gone back to forty years ago and saw the scene when Zhou Guanwu had just returned from Wuliang Mountain.

Just as handsome, just as tall and straight.

What was different was the aura of the two men - one was as majestic as the sky and the sea, while the other was as cold as a knife.

At this moment, Chen Yuan also saw Zhou Tiance, but he was still sitting in front of the stone table, with the Wanjun Sword at his side, his expression calm but with a hint of indifference.

He had been waiting in Jingye Marquis' Mansion for two days. Including the time he had spent accompanying Zhou Wanyi in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, he had been back in Kyoto Prefecture for five days.

For the past five days, he has been waiting for Zhou Tiance to appear every moment.

Until today……

Chen Yuan looked at the frail old man in front of him, and his sword intent had already seen through him.

He knew very well that his great-grandfather's body was as weak as a sieve and he was afraid that he would not last for many more years.

On the other hand, Zhou Tiance walked into the pavilion with his head held high and his chest puffed out as if he were in his prime. He sat opposite Chen Yuan and looked at him intently.

Neither of them spoke.

After a long while, a smile appeared on Zhou Tiance's old and wrinkled face and he said:

"My dear grandson, you have grown up."

Chen Yuan looked at him, his expression still expressionless, only the hand closer to the Wanjun Sword moved subconsciously.

It was difficult for him to resist the urge to draw out the Wanjun Sword.

"Grandpa, you finally showed up. I thought you wouldn't return to Kyoto Prefecture until the event was over."

Zhou Tiance smiled and shook his head, saying, "I went to meet an old friend temporarily, which delayed me for some time."

"Is he an old friend, or Lou Yuhuang from Wuliang Mountain?" Chen Yuan asked directly.

"Did Chen Yan tell you?" Zhou Tiance said with an unchanged smile: "Lou Yuhuang is your uncle's master, so it is only right for me to meet him."

Chen Yuan paused, his expression gradually turning colder: "Then do you know that Master Lou went to Nanhe Mansion a few days ago?"

Zhou Tiance said without disguising: "Of course, it was me who begged him and a group of evil demons to go and kill Chen Taiping's second son."

"..."

Chen Yuan didn't expect that he would admit it so straightforwardly, and the question that was on the tip of his tongue could no longer be asked.

He looked straight at Zhou Tiance, and his tone became much colder.

"Grandfather, even if you killed my second brother, father could still choose my third brother, choose..."

Having said this, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped.

He suddenly remembered that Zhou Tiance had threatened him with Chen Fan and Chen Yi when they were children.

Thinking of this.

Chen Yuan couldn't say anything more. After a moment of silence, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Did you also order Lu Qian from the Southern Barbarian Land to betray me?"

Zhou Tiance nodded and admitted again: "Yes, I was the one who sent him a message that time, asking him to reveal your whereabouts so that you could go through more hardships."

bass!
Chen Yuan could no longer hold back, and instantly drew his Wanjun Knife, placing it across his neck, staring at him with cold eyes:
"Grandpa, why did you do that?!"

Zhou Tiance looked down at the Wanjun Knife that reflected his face, and replied without changing his expression:

"I'm not doing this for anyone else, just for you."

"For me... hehe, hahaha... for me!"

Amidst the laughter, Chen Yuan's eyes were covered with a layer of dark blue, and the cold sword intent surrounded the entire pavilion, and a cold wind blew on Zhou Tiance.

"You want to kill me?" Zhou Tiance looked at him blankly, with a look of relief on his face.

"In fact, you should kill me, so that the entire Zhou family will be completely extinct, with only your mother left."

Mother……

The hot blood in Chen Yuan's body seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water.

He could indeed kill Zhou Tiance with one blow, but that would probably mean the end of his mother-son relationship with Zhou Wanyi.

Unless he doesn't care about anything...

"Grandpa, why, why do you have to force me?"

Zhou Tiance touched his neck where the skin was broken and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He did not rush to answer, but waved to Chen Kuang who was on guard not far away, asking him to bring the wine and food.

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then dodged and placed the wine and meat on the stone table. He looked at the stunned Chen Yuan and whispered:

"Master Yuan, you are still young, don't do anything stupid."

If that knife had been used to cut down, Shen Yan was sure that Zhou Tiance would not die.

But Chen Yuan's ending will definitely not be good.

Just imagine, if the news of the grandson killing his grandfather spread, it would have a huge impact on both the Zhou and Chen families.

Even if the two families combined their strength, it would be hard to save Chen Yuan's life...

Zhou Tiance waved his hand to signal him to go down first, then he personally poured two glasses of wine and placed one in front of Chen Yuan.

"I thought I wouldn't live to see you again, but God has been kind to me and allowed me to live until now."

"My dear grandson, today we have a good meal and wine, and I will tell you everything you want to know, how about that?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him, put away the Wanjun Sword without saying a word, and picked up the wine glass.

"Grandpa, you deserve to die!"

"Yes... I know I deserve to die, but there are people who deserve to die more than me who are still alive!"
