Chapter 213 Today is very lively! (Subscribe)

It's noon and the spring is bright and beautiful.

After the fierce fight between Chen Yi and "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei last night, there was an endless stream of discussions in Jingye Marquis' Mansion.

There were many people sitting in the main hall of the central courtyard.

However, most of those who arrived first were children of noble families without official status, so they could only sit in groups of three or four in the outer circle and discuss current affairs.

As for the people in the inner circle, apart from Wang Yang, a top student of Kyoto Academy and number one on the local list, there are only three nobles.

They wanted to make friends with Wang Yang, but after seeing his expression, they gave up the idea and talked to each other in a low voice.

While marveling at the astonishing sight of the powerful men in the realm of supernatural powers moving mountains and filling the sea last night, more people were discussing the "holy land of sword cultivation" outside the mansion and the Chen family's "three marquises in one family".

"The appearance of the three marquises of the Chen family is already the highest position among the officials, a rare honor in the history of the world."

"Marquis Wu'an Chen Taiping has been in office for about 30 years. He is in his prime and has now been entrusted with an important task by His Majesty to train troops in Northern Zhili and to assist in the defense of Beixiong Pass."

"The eldest son, Chen Yuan, took over the position of Marquis Jingye because of his biological mother Zhou Wanyi, which can be regarded as continuing the bloodline of the Zhou family."

"My second son, Chen Yi, is even more amazing. He has had strange phenomena since he was born. His misbehavior during the Zhuazhou ceremony was mostly caused by his precocious intelligence. After he joined the Taixu Dao Sect, he became one of the world's top geniuses."

"Now, the 'Sword Cultivation Holy Land' outside the palace was also built by Marquis Yingwu. In the future, sword cultivators who have learned and achieved success there will probably have to call themselves 'students' and kowtow to him, right?"

"Perhaps it is because of this that the imperial court set up checkpoints there to collect money, turning the relationship between 'master and disciple' into a 'transaction'."

"Master Liu is right. This way, those sword cultivators won't be learning from a master, and their gratitude to Chen Yi or the Chen family will be reduced."

"I have to say that the current emperor is very far-sighted!"

Long-term planning?

Wang Yang curled his lips secretly, thinking that if he had been far-sighted, he should not have given Chen Yi the land deed.

With that contract, even if the Chen family does not engage in business or collect rent from the fiefdom, they can still obtain enough natural treasures.

In addition, most of the sword cultivators in the world come from poor backgrounds, and the Chen family can also use that "Sword Cultivator Holy Land" to select the best disciples.

In the long run, as long as Chen Yi does not die halfway, there is almost no possibility that the Chen family will decline.

Wang Yang thought in his heart, and said secretly:
"The Chen family is a hereditary Wuhou family. Now it has grown stronger because of the 'holy land' created by Chen Yi..."

"A hundred years later, the Chen family, Chen Yi and others will become a scourge to the Wei Dynasty."

Wang Yang has read "Chronicles of the Wei Dynasty" and found that the situation of "one dominant family" has appeared more than once in history.

Although most of those families ended up in tragedy, each time it would have a bad impact on the court and the underworld, causing harm for decades.

Not a good thing.

"Hey? Speaking of which, in addition to the incident with 'Black Impermanence' yesterday, another big event happened in our Wei Dynasty."

"Are you referring to the closure of Wuliang Mountain in Hexi Prefecture? If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about it."

"You two, have you investigated why Wuliang Mountain was closed for a hundred years?"

"I don't know, with such a big event happening in Kyoto Prefecture yesterday, who would care about what's happening in Hexi Prefecture?"

This young master knows!
Wang Yang heard the discussions around him and felt more and more displeased with the Chen family and Chen Yi's power.

After hearing about this incident last night, he, Xie Dong'an and Jiang Ye rushed back to Kyoto Academy from Quchi. Naturally, they learned the whole story of "closing Wuliang Mountain" from the great master.

——It’s all because Chen Yi climbed up Wuliang Mountain alone with a sword!
When Wang Yang first heard this, he didn't understand.

The Wuliang Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years. There are many powerful people in the realm of supernatural powers, such as Lou Yuchun and Lou Yushan, in the sect, and there is also the ancestor, Taoist Gushan.

How could Chen Yi, a fledgling swordsman prodigy, be suppressed and sealed off from the mountains for a hundred years?

But after listening to the master's detailed account, he finally understood that the reason why Wuliang Mountain was closed was not only because of Chen Yi's challenge, but more because of their own problems.

Wang Yang still remembers the great teacher's later teachings: "It is easy to conquer a kingdom, but it is difficult to keep it."

"For hundreds or thousands of years of inheritance, what is important is not the technique, but the changeable nature of one's heart."

"Not only Wuliang Mountain, but also the Kyoto Academy, the imperial court, and even other aristocratic clans will encounter the same problem."

"This is the fundamental reason for their decline. The talent and character of their offspring are not a big problem."

Wang Yang deeply agreed with this, just as he had just thought.

The Chen family has grown stronger because of the "Sword Cultivation Holy Land" and is protected by Chen Yi, a sword immortal with supernatural powers. Sooner or later, it will have an impact on the entire Wei Dynasty.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in fancy clothes came hurriedly from outside. As soon as he found a seat and sat down, he said to the people around him:

"Something happened! Something big happened!"

Several young men from noble families who had arrived earlier looked at him suspiciously: "Brother Xun, what's making you so nervous?"

"Yes, didn't you say before that you would come with the Wu family and the Zheng family? Why are you here alone now? Where are they?"

The visitor looked at them solemnly and said, "I am talking about these two families."

"Just now I went to Wu's house to look for Zhengming. Guess what I saw?"

"Brother Xun, please stop keeping us in suspense. What happened? What happened to their two families?"

The man named Brother Xun did not hesitate any longer and whispered in a serious tone:

"Today, the two boys from their two families, the two in Kyoto Academy, offended someone they shouldn't have offended!"

"Are you talking about Wu Yong from the Wu family and Zheng Xincai from the Zheng family? Who did they offend?"

"Yes, aren't they all staying in Kyoto Academy? Even if they offend someone, with a few teachers watching over them, it shouldn't have much of an impact."

"From what I know, someone offended Princess Jinyu before, and Mr. San personally came out to mediate, and only asked the student to apologize."

"This time it's different!" Brother Xun sighed and said, "The person those two guys offended was not someone else, but the Marquis Yingwu who was just canonized by the emperor!"

Hearing this, the people around looked at each other with indescribable surprise on their faces.

"Brother Xun, are you sure it's Marquis Yingwu? Why is he in Kyoto Academy?"

"I don't know the details. Zhengming only said that Wu Yong from his family and the boys from the Zheng and Sun families said something in the academy, and Yingwu Hou heard it."

"Then the Marquis Yingwu not only injured Wu Yong, but also ordered the elders of the three families to go to the Chen Mansion tomorrow to ask them to..."

Seeing him hesitant, several people anxiously asked, "Should we ask them to apologize? Or something else?"

Brother Xun shook his head, still with some fear on his face, and said, "Then Marquis Yingwu made the elders of the three families kneel outside the Chen Mansion for three days!"

"He also said that if they don't agree or don't kneel down, they will be made to disappear forever!"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Not only the people at Xun Ge's table, but also the people at the neighboring tables turned their heads to look at them, their faces filled with surprise and speechless.

In the inner circle, Wang Yang, whose mind was focused on the Jingye Marquis Mansion, frowned and asked loudly:
"Brother Xun, right? Are the gentlemen in the academy aware of what you are talking about?"

When will it be the turn for outsiders to intervene and teach their Kyoto Academy a lesson?

Not to mention just a few words, even if it was a challenge to a duel or an offense to Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi, he shouldn't humiliate the students of the academy like this, right?
Brother Xun heard the voice and looked over. He saw his appearance, thought for a moment and recognized his identity. He immediately stood up and saluted, saying:

"I have met Grand Secretary Wang Yang."

Wang Yang waved his hand and said, "You haven't answered me yet. Do the teachers in the academy know about Marquis Yingwu's behavior?"

Brother Xun did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "When Marquis Yingwu punished the three families, the master was there."

Wang Yang was stunned, and his smooth, jade-like brows wrinkled slightly.

He originally thought that the teacher was not there, and the students were so nervous because of the power of Marquis Yingwu.

However, he did not expect that not only a teacher knew about this, but also his teacher - Lin Zhongke, a great teacher of high status in Kyoto Academy!

"What does the great master say?"

"According to the Wu family kid, not only did the master not protect them, he also asked them to tell their families that what Marquis Yingwu said was also his intention!"

"Is that so?"

Wang Yang looked thoughtful and no longer looked at them.

He had some complaints about Chen Yi, but he knew the Master very well.

Since Mr. Lian believes that those people should be punished and the elders in the family have to go to the Chen Mansion to apologize, then they must have made a big mistake.

At this moment, not only he thought so, but also several people around Brother Xun thought so.

"It must be that the boys from the Wu, Zheng, and Sun families did something wrong and angered Marquis Yingwu!"

"Otherwise, the great master would not stand on the side of Marquis Yingwu!"

Brother Xun smiled bitterly and said, "That would be fine if that's the case. Zhengming told me that Wu Yong and his men only offended Chen Fan, the third son of the Chen family, with their words."

"They didn't directly offend Marquis Yingwu..."

"hiss!"

"Really?"

"Just because Wu Yong and the others offended Chen Fan with their words? Then, then...isn't it a bit too much for Marquis Yingwu to punish him like this..."

"unacceptable!"

Hearing this, Wang Yang's face showed a hint of anger.

It seems that what he thought before was correct. Chen Yi and his Chen family are definitely not good for Wei Chao!
No matter how talented he is, how good his martial arts skills are, or what his status is, he should not act so domineeringly.

Just because of a verbal conflict, he made people kneel for three days, and if they didn't agree, he would kill the whole family...

Where does his behavior place the laws of the court and the ethics of the underworld?
However, when the people present heard Wang Yang's words, few agreed, especially those from aristocratic families with similar status to the Wu, Zheng, and Sun families.

They are not Wang Yang, they do not have a great master as their teacher, and their family does not have a genius who can compete with Chen Yi.

Even though they were outraged by the matter, they didn't dare to say anything more.

"Brother Xun, what are those companies going to do?"

"What else can be done?"

"Zhengming said that the father of those three boys will kneel outside the Chen Mansion to apologize tomorrow morning..."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and wondering how Chen Yi could get the support of the great master for such a domineering behavior?

In addition to this doubt, another thought is - learn from it!
A moment of silence.

Brother Xun shook his head and sighed:

"Everyone, today we are here to congratulate Chen Yuan on his succession to the title of Marquis of Jingye. Let's get back to the point."

"Yes, yes... The Zhou Mansion is very busy today. When the adults arrive, we have to go and greet them."

"Looking at the situation, I'm afraid the banquet won't start before noon. I guess we have to wait until the morning court in the Huangji Palace is over before those people will arrive."

"There's nothing to do, just wait."

"These snacks and teas prepared by the Zhou family are all good. Try them."

Seeing that everyone seemed to have not heard what happened before, Wang Yang felt like he had a fire in his chest that he couldn't relieve until he vented it.

Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi! How dare he be so overbearing in front of the great master in the Kyoto Academy? !
……

Outside the Zhou Mansion.

Hua Youxiang looked around listlessly. She felt fresh at first, but after looking for a long time, she just felt bored. The people coming and going were all decorated carriages, and the children of noble families or nobles in gorgeous clothes. There was nothing interesting.

Especially among those people, there would be a few blind good-for-nothings coming from time to time, which was very annoying.

Xiao Xuanzhen was also a little impatient. After sending away a few more "young talents", she looked at Lin Xueru and asked:

"Junior sister, why don't we go in first? We don't know when Junior Brother Chen Yi will come, and it will be inconvenient for us to stay here."

Lin Xueru looked at the expressions of the few people and was about to nod when she saw a carriage coming from the end of the street with a flag with the word "Lin" on it from the Xingguo Mansion.

"My second brother is here, let's go in with him."

It's fine for the others as well.

After Lin Jixin arrived and saluted Gu Tiangang, he entered the Zhou Mansion with Lin Xueru and others.

"Master Gu Tiangang of the Taixu Dao Sect has come with his disciples to congratulate you!"

"The Duke of Xing's Mansion came to congratulate..."

In the front yard.

Zhou Tiance, dressed in green, came to greet them in person with his back straight. It was not hard to see a hint of sickness on his skinny face, but his joy could not be concealed.

Chen Yuan next to him was wearing a purple robe, with a black jade belt around his waist hanging a Wanjun sword and a waist badge engraved with the words "Jingye Hou".

His tough jade-like face has a unique charm against the backdrop of his long silver hair.

But unlike Zhou Tiance who always had a smiling face, he remained serious and nodded to every guest.

At this time, Gu Tiangang wrote his name and brought Lin Xueru and others to the front yard.

Zhou Tiance looked at them with cloudy eyes, and greeted them with a smile: "Master Gu, I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

Gu Tiangang waved his whisk and said calmly: "Old Marquis, there is no need to be so polite. I came here to congratulate Chen Yuan."

Zhou Tiance was not annoyed when he heard this, and immediately called Lin Jixin who came on behalf of the Xingguo Mansion.

"Has Hansong not left court yet?"

"My father is still in the imperial city, and my mother specially ordered my sister and I to come and congratulate him."

"You are a guest now, please come in!"

Chen Yuan looked at Lin Xueru and the others, and after glancing around, he asked with an unnatural expression on his face:

"Will my second brother come too?"

Lin Xueru didn't do what he thought, and replied with a smile: "Brother Yi will come, but I don't know when he will come."

"That's it..."

Chen Yuan forced a smile, greeted a few people, and asked his servants to lead them in.

As the servants sang with a hint of joy, the atmosphere in the Zhou Mansion became more lively.

Seeing this, Zhou Tiance's smile deepened.

While the guests were coming, he looked at Chen Yuan beside him and asked:

"Yuan'er, are you worried? Are you worried about the people coming from the Chen family?"

Chen Yuan shook his head gently: "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to worry about."

After he finished speaking, he paused and asked, "Grandpa, who else will come today?"

Seeing that his expression was no longer strange, Zhou Tiance thought for a moment and said, "There should be a few more people coming."

"The royal family, the Zhenbei Palace, Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Taishan and other Marquises should all send people here."

"In addition, there are people from other noble families and sects in other prefectures who are on good terms with our Zhou family."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Today, it's very lively."

It didn't take long.

Du Yanqing and Du Yan came on behalf of the Zhenbei Palace, while Wang Yongnian and his elder brother Wang Can came on behalf of Taishan Marquis Wang Xidu to express congratulations.

Xie Dongan and Jiang Ye came alone, one representing the Left Prime Minister Xie Jing, and the other representing the Deputy Commander of the Black Armor Guard Jiang Ziqi.

The late arrival of the Wei Dynasty royal family was Wei Jinyu, who was married to Chen Yuan by the Emperor of Wei.

"Your Highness, please come in!"

Seeing that Chen Yuan looked a little cold, Zhou Tiance stepped forward to greet Wei Jinyu, who was dressed in colorful clothes.

"My Lord, please wait. I, I can go in by myself."

Wei Jinyu glanced at Chen Yuan, bit her lip and said with a slightly aggrieved look.

"Your Highness, please be careful. The mansion is in a state of disrepair. I will lead you inside."

Zhou Tiance smiled and took Wei Jinyu to the central courtyard.

Before leaving, he did not forget to signal Chen Yan to accompany Chen Yuan.

"Old Marquis," Wei Jinyu asked halfway along the way, "Is Chen Yuan really dissatisfied with the marriage granted by our father?"

"If it was my sister Wei Xiaoyun, would he, would he be happy to accept it?"

There was a hint of difficulty on Zhou Tiance's skinny face. He naturally knew why Chen Yuan had become what he was now, but he couldn't say much.

In the final analysis, most of the current Chen Yuan was harmed by him.

"Your Highness and Yuan'er met in Nanman, so you should know something about him, right?"

Wei Jinyu nodded hesitantly and sighed in his heart. So it was still because of that sister.

"Old Marquis, if possible, Jin Yu asks you to persuade Chen Yuan to agree to the marriage granted by our father."

"Even if he hates me, he can also not get along with me after marriage. I, I am worried that my father will blame him."

Zhou Tiance glanced at her, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will persuade her."

But no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he could no longer force Chen Yuan to agree.

When Wei Jinyu sat down in the inner circle of the central hall, he saw Wang Yang, Xie Dongan and others, and his mood couldn't help but improve.

"Why are you all here?"

"Grandpa is not in a position to show up." Xie Dong'an glanced at Wang Yang and said lightly.

Jiang Ye hesitated for a moment and just said that he happened to have nothing to do.

However, Wang Yang did not look at Wei Jinyu for long, his eyes were always fixed on the flower fairy.

After looking for a while, Wang Yang retracted his gaze and asked thoughtfully:

"Do you think Chen Yi will come?"

Xie Dongan frowned: "Why did you ask about Yingwu Hou?"

"Something happened at the academy earlier..."

Wang Yang recounted what he had heard from outsiders and said with a hint of displeasure:

"If Chen Yi comes, I just want to ask him why he acts so domineeringly?"

"Even if he has extraordinary talent and status, he shouldn't bully people from aristocratic families like this!"

Xie Dongan frowned even deeper. Before he could speak, he saw Lin Xueru, who was not far away, seemed to have heard what he said. She stood up and said:

"It's none of your business to interfere with how Brother Yi behaves!"

The little girl may not care about other people and things, but when it comes to Chen Yi, she will definitely not pretend not to hear.

Especially Wang Yang's tone just now made her unhappy, so there was a hint of coldness on her face at this moment.

Du Yanqing, Du Yan and others beside him also stood up, looked at Wang Yang and the people around him, and echoed:

"Is this how Kyoto Academy teaches you to talk about others behind their backs?"

Wang Yongnian narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Yang: "I seem to have seen you somewhere before, oh~ you are the number one on the Earth Ranking now, right?"

"No wonder he is so overestimating his own abilities!" Xiao Xuanzhen stood up and snorted.

Hua Youxiang was even more unhappy as she held her sword and said seriously:

"If you want to fight, just say so. I won't change my name or surname. The mountain flowers on Jianfeng Mountain are fragrant!"

Although the flower fairy didn't say anything, she stood up almost at the same time as Lin Xueru. She just frowned and looked at Wang Yang with displeasure in her eyes.

"..."

One word stirs up a thousand waves!

Wang Yang stared at Lin Xueru and the others in a daze, especially the look in the eyes of the Flower Fairy. He felt an inexplicable irritation and anger welling up in his heart.

"It is an indisputable fact that 'Little Sword Immortal' Chen Yi bullies others by taking advantage of his power!"

"Today, he forced the Wu, Zheng, and Sun families to admit their mistakes at the Kyoto Academy. He was too overbearing!"

"The day before yesterday, he forced Wuliang Mountain to seal itself off for a hundred years just because of a few villains, and he even disregarded the friendship between Taixu Dao Sect and Wuliang Mountain Dao Sect!"

"And earlier in the Nanman Secret Realm, he killed three geniuses from the Yuhua Immortal Sect!"

"Everything that happened proves that he is a heartless and ungrateful person. What's wrong with what I said?!"

Before Xie Dong'an could stop him, he could not help but smile bitterly as Wang Yang listed Chen Yi's "sins" in a few words.

Before he could figure out how to ease the situation, Lin Xueru said angrily:

"Someone from Wuliang Mountain tried to murder Brother Yi twice. What's wrong with him asking the people from Wuliang Mountain to give an explanation?"

"On the contrary, it is the Wuliangshan Tower Sect Master who wants to use the Taixu Dao Sect to force Brother Yi to bow his head, which is wrong!"

“There is also Yuhua Xianmen, but the head of the Quenching God Sect teamed up with the demons and monsters of the Worship God Sect to assassinate Brother Yi first!”

"As for what happened today, it must be that the three families spoke rudely and angered Brother Yi. They deserved this punishment!"

The little girl glanced around, shutting up those who wanted to talk, and raised her head and said:

"Even if Brother Yi is wrong, it is not your turn to point fingers!"

Du Yan glanced at her with a little surprise, thinking that she had never realized that the little girl who was always laughing had such a tough side.

But thinking about it didn't stop her from speaking:
"Some people, don't they think they are important just because they are ranked first on the Earth Ranking?"

Du Yanqing looked at her helplessly. It was her sister who was more poisonous.

But he's not bad either.

"In my opinion, Master Wang Yang might be jealous. After all, he was not the one who killed Black Impermanence last night."

"Brother Yi has become famous, so it's normal for him, the 'number one on the Earth Ranking', to feel a little unconvinced!"

Different from Lin Xueru's explanation, Du Yanqing and Du Yan have been bickering since childhood, so they know that whoever gets angry first will be angry for the whole day.

Every word hit Wang Yang hard, causing the face of this famous master's last disciple to darken instantly.

"You, you guys?!"

When did someone dare to do this to him?!
