Chapter 216 Congratulations! (Seeking monthly ticket)
"Marquis Yingwu Chen Yi comes to congratulate you!"

"One hundred gifts, including gold, stone, medicine, money and magical instruments, to celebrate Chen Yuan's succession to the position of Marquis Jingye!"

The Chen family's coachman unloaded gifts one by one from the carriage, including those from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and Chen Yi's collection over the years.

All the items were shining brightly without concealing the jewels and gems, neatly placed on the screen wall at the entrance of Jingye Marquis Mansion.

Chen Yi stood outside the wall, one hand on the Chunyu Sword at his waist and the other hand behind his waist, staring at the stone carving on the shadow wall with a calm expression.

The carving on it shows a warrior wearing fish-scale armor, wielding a long sword and slaying demons.

There are a few more lines on the side: "Zhou Biyi has been fighting in battles for fifty years, slaying tens of thousands of demons, and is a hero unrivaled in the world!"

matchless……

Chen Yi was confused.

No matter how heroic one is, he cannot resist the self-degradation of his descendants.

At this time, Chen Yuan, who was waiting in the front yard, did not see Chen Yi. After thinking it over again and again, he walked around the screen wall with a calm expression.

The two men's eyes met, each sizing up the other.

Chen Yuan had a rather sturdy build, wearing a purple robe with broad shoulders and body, a Wanjun sword and a Jingyehou jade pendant hanging around his waist, and he looked a little unnatural.

Chen Yi's figure was relatively thin, but the purple robe he wore made him look even more handsome and majestic.

Especially when he placed his hand on the Chunyu Sword, his figure was like a sharp sword soaring into the sky, with a faint sense of murderous intent.

A moment of silence.

Chen Yuan twitched his lips, forced a smile and said, "The one carved on it is the ancestor of the Zhou family."

"Now he is also the eldest brother's ancestor." Chen Yi's tone was cold and his eyes were a little colder, unlike the way he looked in the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm before.

Chen Yuan lowered his eyebrows a little, as if he had expected his attitude.

"I'm very happy that my second brother can come."

"Really?" Chen Yi looked at him for a moment, then turned his head to look inside the wall: "Whether big brother is happy or not, only you know."

"You have been hiding in Jingye Marquis's mansion these days, but have you thought clearly about your future path?"

Chen Yuan pursed his lips slightly and said, "I have decided to take on the responsibility of Jingye Hou. I will go to the military camp to train the Jingye Army in a few days, and..."

He paused, raised his head and looked at Chen Yi, his eyes flickering as he said:

"And father and mother have agreed."

Chen Yi nodded without comment, walked around Chen Yuan and walked into the courtyard, still speaking in a cold tone:
"Now that things have come to this, as a brother, I wish you great achievements for the Wei Dynasty!"

At this time, Chen Yan inside the shadow wall saw his figure, quickly finished his gift, held a list in both hands, walked over respectfully and said:
"I, the old servant, would like to thank you on behalf of the Zhou family. Please leave your calligraphy."

Chen Yi took a look at him and recognized him as the Zhou manor's steward who had sent Chen Yuan to Wuliang Mountain outside the imperial city.

He was also the person who, as Chen Yuan said, pushed him into the cave under the pool.

Chen Yi paused, then calmly took the small wolf brush and wrote the name on the list in a flamboyant manner:

"How long have you been following Lord Zhou?"

A faint smile appeared on his sick and slightly old face, and he said proudly:
"I have followed you for forty-three years!"

"Forty-three years?" Chen Yi wrote Chen Taiping's name next to his own name to represent the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

"Then your life is worth it. It's rare to have a servant who can serve three marquises of the Zhou family one after another."

Chen Yan felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and quickly took the list and the small wolf-hair brush from his hand, and replied without any strange expression:

"I am ashamed to be praised by you, my Lord."

Chen Yi looked at him deeply, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and a trace of sword intent instantly invaded his body.

The seriously ill man dared not move at all, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"It's not easy to be an old housekeeper, haha."

Chen Yi grinned and walked towards the main hall of the central courtyard, while transmitting his message to Chen Yan:
"The old butler has great sword skills but is willing to stay in the Zhou Mansion. I admire him!"

Although Chen Kuang had reacted quickly just now, the sword intent that Chen Yi had penetrated into his body still detected the obstruction of the knife intent in his body.

In just that moment, Chen Yi realized that the old butler's swordsmanship level was far higher than what he showed on the surface.

When he crossed the front yard, Chen Kuang raised his head and found that his back was wet with sweat.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, the sword skills of this newly promoted Yingwu Marquis were truly unfathomable.

As soon as that trace of sword intent entered his body, he realized that something was wrong. When he wanted to restrain the magical sword intent in his body, it was too late.

"The fourth realm of swordsmanship, ah..."

When Chen Yuan saw his expression, his brows frowned and then relaxed in an instant.

Chen Yan noticed his gaze, gathered his thoughts, closed the list in his hand and followed him, saying in a voice transmission:

"Marquis Yuan, Marquis Yingwu is here with ill intentions today, so you should be careful."

Chen Yuan shook his head upon hearing this: "My second brother won't do anything out of line here."

He could see the coldness and disappointment in Chen Yi's eyes, and while he sighed in his heart, he also felt relieved.

At least the first level was passed smoothly - Chen Yi did not attack him, nor did he seem to come to blame his grandfather.

The disappointment in the second brother's eyes might just be because he went to Mount Taizhou as planned...

Chen Yan showed a slightly bitter smile on his face, thinking that the person had already made the move, but no one noticed except him.

But he couldn't tell Chen Yuan about this...

He had no choice but to be on guard secretly to prevent any accidents from happening today.

"How many guests are left?"

"Replying to Lord Yuan, there are still a few court officials who have not arrived yet."

Chen Yuan looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was about to return to due south.

"Then let's not wait any longer and start right away."

Chen Yan nodded and said, "I will go and inform the master and ask him to host the banquet."

"it is good."

As they spoke, the two of them walked towards the middle courtyard together.

at the same time.

The young Taoist in the backyard hid in the corner of the porch, watching Chen Yi enter the main hall of the middle courtyard, and said with interest:

"Old Marquis, it seems that Chen Yi is not happy about Chen Yuan taking over the position of Marquis Jingye?"

Zhou Tiance was angry at first, then his face was moved and he said: "With Chen Yi's attitude, does he want to break up with Yuan'er?"

The young Taoist turned around and looked at him, and said thoughtfully: "Old Marquis, do you think so?"

"Although the Chen family didn't say anything about Yuan'er taking over, I think they will definitely not be happy."

Zhou Tiance pondered and said, "Chen Yi's behavior should also reflect the attitude of the Chen family."

The young Taoist laughed and immediately turned and left the backyard.

"Old Marquis, please stop paying attention to Chen Yi and think more about how to get Chen Yuan to change his surname!"

Zhou Tiance watched him walk away, his sallow complexion changing constantly, with a hint of redness showing through.

The pill that the young Taoist had asked him to swallow had taken effect, relieving his lungs, which were leaking like a sieve.

Think for a moment.

Zhou Tiance hunched over again, coughed lightly, and sighed solemnly.

Guan Wu's arrival today may have a deeper meaning...

……

At this moment, in the main hall of Zhou Mansion.

As soon as Chen Yi arrived, the hall instantly became quiet and everyone's eyes were on him.

quiet!
It was eerily quiet!
At this moment, no matter if they were from noble families or nobles in various states, or people from the Kyoto Academy, Wuliang Mountain, or Yuhua Immortal Sect, when they saw him appear at the entrance of the main hall, they all subconsciously held their breath, as if the air was frozen at this moment.

Wang Yang stared at Chen Yi in a daze, with a hint of surprise on his handsome face.

This was the first time he met Chen Yi.

Different from watching the battle last night, in his eyes at this moment, Chen Yi did not show any sword intent, but just stood calmly and indifferently at the eaves of the main hall.

But just this can attract the attention of everyone around.

He even felt a hint of... fear!
"Is this Chen Yi... No wonder Xie Dongan is so afraid!"

Lin Xueru didn't care about anything else. When she saw Chen Yi appear, she was delighted and immediately stood up and waved:

"Brother Yi, here, here..."

Chen Yi glanced around with a cold expression, taking note of everyone's reactions, then looked towards the little girl with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty Guan Shu greets Marquis Yingwu!"

"I am Liu Ziliang from the Liu family of the Kyoto Academy. Nice to meet you, Lord Marquis!"

"I am Lu Fang from Yuhua Immortal Sect, nice to meet Lord Yingwu!"

Chen Yi didn't pay much attention to it. He just walked past a few tables of guests and went straight to where the little girl and others were.

Even when he heard the slightly enthusiastic voice of the disciple of Yuhua Immortal Sect behind him, there was no change on his face.

He didn't stop until he saw several geniuses from Wuliang Mountain sitting not far from the main table.

Lou Wushan stood up, smiled and bowed, saying: "I am Lou Wushan, a disciple of Wuliangshan Fantian Dao, nice to meet Brother 'Little Sword Immortal'."

Although the three geniuses beside him were reluctant, they still stood up and saluted together.

Chen Yi looked at them and said, "If you run into trouble in Kyoto Prefecture, you can come to Chen Mansion to find me at any time."

"Hmph, only a devil would look for you..." A genius showed an indignant look on his face.

Lou Wushan turned his body to block him, still smiling and bowing to Chen Yi.

"I would like to thank you on behalf of my fellow apprentices."

Chen Yi nodded, looked at Xie Dongan and others at the next table, gestured, and then sat down next to Lin Xueru.

"Brother Yi, you're so slow. I'm hungry..."

As she spoke, the little girl came up to him and told him what had happened in the hall before.

Hearing Wang Yang from Kyoto Academy, Chen Yi frowned slightly and looked straight towards where Wang Yang was.

Wang Yang, who had been paying attention to his movements, changed his expression slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled back by Jiang Ye and Xie Dongan.

Xie Dongan quickly transmitted the message:
"Brother, I'm afraid Chen Yi came here for another purpose. If you don't want to suffer an unexpected disaster, I advise you not to speak!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately sent a voice message to Chen Yi: "Brother Yi, I apologize to you on behalf of Senior Brother Wang Yang."

"I hope you will put Chen Yuan's matter first. I will explain the situation to the Master later and order Senior Brother Wang Yang to come and apologize in person."

"How do you like it?"

While Xie Dongan was transmitting the message, he signaled Jiang Ye to hold Wang Yang back.

Originally, he wanted to make this senior brother who was spoiled by the academy suffer, but when he saw Chen Yi's expression when he walked in, he felt a chill in his heart.

With his intelligence and understanding of the reasons why Chen Yuan took over as Marquis of Jingye, it was not difficult to see that Chen Yi did not come with "friendly" intentions.

And he knew even more clearly that even though Wang Yang was a disciple of a great master from Kyoto Academy, the so-called number one on the Earth List, the gap between him and Chen Yi was still too big.

In this situation, if Wang Yang opened his mouth and offended Chen Yi again, he would probably die on the spot!

At this moment, not only Xie Dongan was pleading for Wang Yang, but Jiang Ye was also sending a message to Chen Yi while holding Wang Yang.

"Brother Yi, please, for the sake of these gentlemen, let my brother go."

The two people's words came one after another, but they did not make Chen Yi's heart fluctuate. He only replied in voice transmission:

"In that case, I will go to the Kyoto Academy tomorrow to 'ask' for advice from the so-called top player on the Earth Ranking."

Discuss, ask for advice...

The corner of Xie Dongan's mouth twitched. He looked at Chen Yi's expression which did not seem to be joking, and felt worried for Wang Yang.

He has done everything he should do, and the rest will be decided by the gentlemen in the academy.

Jiang Ye was equally helpless. He glanced at Xie Dongan, his hands still tightly holding Wang Yang's.

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

Chen Yi nodded slightly at them, then ignored them, patted the little girl's head and said:

"I'll vent your anger for you later."

Lin Xueru shook the hairband on her forehead and looked at him puzzledly: "Brother Yi, aren't you angry?"

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Your brother Yi is now a Marquis of Wu, how can he get angry so easily?"

Even if he was angry, he would not attack Wang Yang, so as not to affect the purpose of his trip.

Du Yanqing and Du Yan looked at each other, and both of them had extremely strange expressions.

Wang Yongnian hesitated and said, "Brother Yi, should I believe what you said or not?"

Xiao Xuanzhen muttered, "Don't believe it!" He rolled his eyes at Chen Yi and said, "Junior sister, don't listen to him."

"Maybe he has already thought of dozens or even hundreds of ways to punish the evildoers."

"Didn't you hear what the guests said earlier? Junior brother is in the Kyoto Academy, but he has to kneel outside the gate for three days."

Chen Yi glared at her and said, "Senior Sister Xiao, I haven't competed with you for a long time. I'm afraid you missed it."

"Junior sister, look, look quickly!" Xiao Xuanzhen said as if he was right.

Lin Xueru felt much better and took her hand with a smile: "Brother Yi was just joking."

Gu Tiangang watched the quarrel with a smile, and then sent a message:

"Nephew Chen Yi, the sect master asked me to tell you that the compensation from Wuliang Mountain has been sent to Jianfeng Mountain. Let's put the matter of Wuliang Mountain behind us."

Chen Yi secretly raised his eyebrows and replied in a voice transmission: "What else did Master Xiao say?"

"Nothing else... Oh, he also said that Junior Brother Qingzhou has returned from Mount Taizhou, and there seems to be some changes over there."

Gu Tiangang thought for a moment and said, "But he didn't say it in detail, so I don't think it will affect your grand event."

Li Qingzhou is back?

Chen Yi nodded slightly, then pretended nothing had happened and chatted and laughed in a low voice with the little girl and the others.

Not long after, Zhou Tiance, Chen Yuan and Chen Yan took their seats one after another.

Servants all around began to bring wine, cakes and other delicious food.

After everyone had a glass of wine filled in front of them, Zhou Tiance stood up and said with a smile:
"Thank you all for coming today. I am grateful, so I would like to express my gratitude with this glass of wine."

As he spoke, he finished the wine in the glass, glanced around, and saw Chen Yi who didn't move. He couldn't help but pause before continuing:
"The day before yesterday, with the emperor's approval, my Zhou family was able to continue..."

The loud and slightly hoarse voice echoed in the ears of everyone in the hall. The other guests all had smiles on their faces, but Chen Yi remained calm.

He looked at Zhou Tiance, who looked much older than the last time they met. The murderous intent in his heart slowly rose, but he forced it down.

It’s not the right time yet... Soon, we will settle all the new and old grudges together!

At this moment, Zhou Tiance drank three cups of wine, glanced at the table on the left with a little hesitation, and said in a deep voice:
"Today, I am here to announce a good news."

"The emperor had previously asked Yuan'er whether he would change his surname from 'Chen' to 'Zhou'. Yuan'er did not agree at that time, but now..."

Chen Yuan's face changed slightly, and he said in a voice transmission: "Grandpa, you..."

Zhou Tiance did not respond, and continued: "Yuan'er's name is now called - Zhou Yuan!"

boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, cold murderous intent instantly enveloped the entire lobby!
Then, Chen Yi slowly stood up.

"Old Marquis, you are forcing my Chen family to become enemies with your Zhou family!"
