Chapter 291 Is my son so capable? (Subscribe)
"Bad guy, are you here to look for someone?"

Chen Yi sensed a sense of telepathy. The voice just now was not a real voice, but it sounded directly in his mind and heart.

Small jade sword?
Chen Yi's senses enveloped the entire Xia Mansion, and he immediately found Xia Wanwan in the north corner room of the mansion.

To be precise, the small jade sword hanging on Xia Wanwan's wrist was the one he gave to Xia Wanwan before she joined the Taixu Taoist Sect, and not the wooden sword containing sword intent that he had asked Sun Zhengqiu to send to her.

"Of course, of course, I'm here to take you away this time."

"You said..."

Chen Yi smiled. The spirit of this little jade sword had a good memory. It would be difficult to fool her again in the future.

However, he did not expect that the small jade sword would give birth to a true spirit.

You should know that his master Li Qingzhou once gave him a sword-raising box. He had been nurturing the Spring Rain Sword for many years but failed to give birth to a sword spirit. Instead, it was the small jade sword he obtained during the Zhou-grabbing ceremony that had a real spirit.

I have to say, it’s really magical.

"Squeak."

At this time, the wooden door under the plaque of the Xia Mansion was opened from the inside, and a thin old man dressed as a servant leaned half of his body out. He looked at Chen Yi, who was wearing a purple robe and a big hairdo outside the door, and couldn't help but be stunned.

He recognized that attire.

These days, when Wu'an Hou Chen Taiping occasionally returned from the camp outside the city, he would wear such a purple robe.

And the python pattern on the chest...

The thin old man rubbed his eyes, looked at Chen Yi, and vaguely saw some similarities between Chen Taiping and Xia Wanwan.

"You... I don't know who you are?"

Chen Yi smiled and said gently, "Please inform the old man that Chen Yi is here."

"Chen, Chen Yi..."

The thin old man suddenly felt that the name sounded very familiar. He thought about it carefully for a moment and suddenly widened his eyes:
"You, you, you... are the young lady and the uncle's... young marquis? Oh no, no, you are Lord Yingwu Marquis?!"

Chen Yi nodded, looked at the thin old man with an excited expression and admitted:

"Old man, just call me Chen Yi. I hope you can help pass on the message."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The thin old man was overjoyed to see that the person who came was indeed the one he thought of. He hurriedly opened the door and said, "Please, please, young marquis, please come in. I will go and report to the master, the lady, and the young lady right away."

After saying this, he made way for Chen Yi to enter. The thin old man hurriedly closed the door, called over two younger servants, told them to serve Chen Yi carefully, and then trotted across the front yard.

"Master, Madam, Miss... Come, come and see who is here!"

"Master, Madam, Miss... Come, come and see who is here!"

The two servants did not dare to be negligent. When they heard that it was the biological son of the young lady and the son-in-law, that is, the young master, who had arrived, the rumors they had heard over the years naturally emerged in their minds.

The number one genius on the Earth Ranking, he resolved the crisis at Zhennan Pass with one sword, killed "Black Impermanence", flattened Wuliang Mountain, and became the Yingwu Marquis of the current dynasty...

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Even if Chen Yi is not the young master of the Xia family, just based on his reputation, he needs to be treated well by the entire Xia family.

Chen Yi didn't care about these things and followed them through the front yard with a relaxed look.

Unlike the three-courtyard structure of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, the entire Xia Mansion also has three courtyards, but it occupies a much smaller area.

Apart from the screen wall, there was only a gatehouse and a stable in the front yard. There were some traces of snow and wind on the ground, revealing the stone slabs underneath.

The central courtyard is square, with a well in the middle, surrounded by winter plums. There are two long corridors outside the wing rooms on the left and right sides. When you look up, you can see simple murals under the corridors.

Before Chen Yi walked through the corridor to the backyard, he heard hurried footsteps in the backyard, followed by Xia Wanwan's slightly sobbing voice.

"Yi, Yi'er, Uncle Fu, is Yi'er really here?"

"Miss, I dare not speak nonsense. The person who came is indeed the young master, and he is wearing the Wuhou dragon robe."

"Uncle Fu, you didn't tell us about this important matter earlier, and you kept us in suspense, so we didn't prepare much. This is so impolite..."

"Dad, your grandson is here to visit. What etiquette should be followed?"

"Yes, Dad, it's not easy for my nephew to come here, you can't treat him like your brother-in-law anymore, don't scare my nephew."

"Stop talking..."

As the sound got closer, Chen Yi took a few quick steps, crossed the corridor in the middle courtyard, stood under the foyer and saw several people.

He immediately spotted Xia Wanwan, who was running in the front, and couldn't help but stop.

Even though he had seen Xia Wanwan and Chen Taiping in the sky above Heiling County before, he was still a little nervous when he met them face to face.

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Xia Wanwan looked older than she was then. Since she had no cultivation, her appearance was no longer as pretty, but more mature.

But perhaps because she had lived in the Marquis' Mansion for many years, she had a more noble air about her. She looked much more elegant and luxurious in the purple silk and mink shawl.

Xia Wanwan and the others also saw Chen Yi and suddenly slowed down their pace.

"Yi, Yi'er... Yi'er, you make me miss you so much."

Xia Wanwan saw Chen Yi's appearance clearly and compared it with the small figure in her memory for a long time before she came over and pulled him with tears in her eyes.

"Mother." Chen Yi smiled and comforted her, "The child has been out and came back late."

"It's not too late, not at all."

At this time, an old lady who looked somewhat similar to Xia Wanwan came up, and she and Xia Wanwan held Chen Yi's hands on both sides, smiling with tears in their eyes:
"It's good that Yi'er can come, it's good that he can come... You don't know me, right? I, I am your grandma."

"Master, Master, come, come and see our eldest grandson, he has grown so big..."

Xia Wanwan's father, Chen Yi's grandfather, was named Xia Qinghai. He was an older Confucian scholar, wearing a simple blue shirt with a long beard over it. He looked a little old but very dignified.

He looked at Chen Yi and a smile appeared on his face, but he still maintained his status. After comforting the old lady and Xia Wanwan, he invited Chen Yi in to talk.

"Nephew, I'm your uncle, haha..."

"I am your second uncle..."

My uncle Xia Zhonghe has a sturdy build and you can tell at first glance that he comes from a military background. He does things in a simple and elegant manner.

My second uncle Xia Zhongping, like Xia Qinghai, is a Confucian scholar.

It's just that his talent is average, and in terms of Confucian practice, he is much worse than Chen Yi's third brother Chen Fan.

Chen Yi greeted everyone one by one. He had learned etiquette since childhood and still retained his manners.

Even though he hadn't experienced such a scene for a long time, he had traveled all over the country and found it very easy to deal with.

However, because of his arrival, the entire Xia Mansion became much more lively. Even many of the Xia family's blood relatives came after hearing the news.

Chen Yi's face looked a little stiff even when he was smiling.

It was not until after lunch that the hustle and bustle in the Xia Mansion died down, and Chen Yi had time to be with Xia Wanwan.

"Yier, it's a pity that your father just went north to Beixiong Pass, otherwise our family would be reunited."

Xia Wanwan looked at Chen Yi with pity on her face.

Over the years, whenever there was news about Chen Yi, she would have people collect it and read it carefully over and over again.

During every festival, she would never forget to prepare various things for Chen Yi, such as clothes, food and so on, for fear that Chen Yi would not have a good life in Taixu Taoist Sect.

The correspondence never ceased.

If Chen Taiping hadn't stopped her, Xia Wanwan would have even wanted to send a letter to Chen Yi every month.

"Father should be back soon." Chen Yi replied with a smile, and briefly recounted his trip to the Shiwandashan Mountains without hiding anything.

"The northern demon court will not move south, at least it is impossible for it to move south to attack the pass in the near future."

"Yier, I know you are very capable now, but you must not go to a place like the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Demon Court."

After hearing this, Xia Wanwan became even more worried.

Over the years, the most common words people said to her were: You have a good son, a peerless genius of the Wei Dynasty, the Earl of Yingwu and the Marquis of Yingwu.

But Xia Wanwan felt mixed emotions.

She had been in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion for many years and knew very well that while Chen Yi gained fame, power and status, he also had to go through various dangers and hardships.

Especially after she heard about what happened to Chen Yi in Zhennan Pass, she wanted to beg Chen Taiping to use his status as Marquis Wu to allow Chen Yi to stay safely in Kyoto Prefecture.

It's so dangerous, whoever wants to go should go by themselves, but her son cannot go.

Xia Wanwan’s idea was just as simple as this.

"Don't worry, mother. I have already found out the situation of the Demon Court. I am afraid I won't have many opportunities to go there in the future."

As he spoke, Chen Yi took out a few peaches, wine and other things from his Xumi bag and placed them on the table, smiling:
"This is a gift that I prepared for you and your father."

These things were exactly the spiritual fruits he obtained after participating in the Xunwangtian Dharma Assembly. The fairy peaches could increase one's lifespan, the pastries could keep Xia Wanwan young forever, and the wine could strengthen her physique.

However, because these things were hard to come by, Chen Yi didn't have much, so he only took out a part of them.

"Okay, okay..." Xia Wanwan didn't care much, "I don't need anything here, as long as you live well."

Chen Yi knew that she regarded these as mundane things, so he explained them with a smile and directly put the fairy peach in her hand.

"You and your father each take one, and keep the rest. If your grandparents need them in the future, you can dispose of them as appropriate."

"This is so valuable, I..."

Xia Wanwan widened her eyes as she looked at the treasures on the table that only existed in legends, and she wanted to refuse.

But under Chen Yi's persuasion, she had to eat some first. There were very obvious changes in her appearance, mind and body. Her complexion alone became much rosier.

"Yier, these things are not easy to come by, right?"

"Well, I guess so." Chen Yi thought of the Xun Wangtian Dharma Assembly and dealt with it vaguely.

Whether it is difficult or not depends on why the two Taoist priests Zhao Muzi and Zhao Tianhe convened the Xunwangtian Dharma Assembly. Anyway, he can get it through the light curtain just by eating...

"Bad guy, bad guy, there are others!!"

At this moment, the small jade sword, which had calmed down after seeing Chen Yi, flew out from Xia Wanwan's wrist and circled in front of Chen Yi.

"You, have you forgotten what you promised me?"

When Chen Yi heard the voice in his mind, he couldn't help but recall the words he used to fool Xiao Yujian when he was a child.

"You are my trump card. I will only let you take action after Chunyu Jian is defeated."

"Don't worry, as long as you stay with my mother, I will change your clothes when I finish my studies and go down the mountain. I promise that you can turn jade into gold and stone and soar into the sky..."

Recalling these words, Chen Yi felt inexplicably amused. He raised his hand and grasped the small jade sword, teasingly saying:
"Mother, I'm afraid this little jade sword has been possessed by a demon. I'll keep it for the rest of my life."

"Demon, demon? No, that can't be true?" Xia Wanwan looked at the small jade sword and said hesitantly:

"She saved me in the first place, how could she be infected by the demon?"

"What?! How can I be a demon?! You, you are slandering me!"

The little jade sword was also unhappy and began to struggle in Chen Yi's palm.

"Haha... No no, it was just a joke. It was really a joke."

Chen Yi smiled and comforted her for a while, and made several promises in his heart before Xiao Yujian calmed down.

Bad guy, bad guy...you won’t abandon me again this time, right?

Of course not. I will take you with me wherever I go from now on.

Where's the Spring Rain Sword? Why isn't it following?

I left it in Kyoto Prefecture. I will pick it up when I return.

"Mother, please rest early. I still have some things to deal with."

"well……"

After Chen Yi left, Xia Wanwan's face was full of smiles again.

She looked at the treasures on the table, stood up, put them away, and left the room.

Chen Yi just arrived today, and many relatives came to the Xia family. At this moment, Xia Qinghai and others are still busy entertaining them.

"Wanwan, I heard your son is here? Where is he? Let the old lady take a look at him."

"Aunt, Yi'er just arrived and is a little tired. Wait until tomorrow. I'll take him to see the old lady tomorrow, okay?"

"Tired? Look at my brain. Yi'er doesn't live in our Northern Zhili. He should get used to the cold weather..."

Xia Wanwan looked at these relatives and friends and thought about her son, with a smile on her face becoming more and more intense.

A mother is honored by her son, she truly felt it!
……

At the same time, among the Wu'an army that had already arrived a thousand miles north of Heiling County, Chen Taiping suddenly waved his hand to signal the army to stop.

"My lord, is there any letter from Beixiong Pass?" the deputy general asked when he saw this.

Chen Taiping nodded, took out a seal from his arms, and seeing that it was vibrating continuously, he used his true energy to stimulate it.

Not long after, Wang Xidu's illusory figure appeared on the seal.

"Old Chen, don't rush back."

"Hmm?" Chen Taiping took a look at him and saw that he looked relaxed. He guessed that Beixiong Pass should be fine and asked:

"Are you sure that the Shiwan Dashan will not move south to seize the pass?"

"Of course," Wang Xidu nodded with a smile, "This time it's all thanks to Marquis Yingwu."

"Marquis Yingwu? Yi'er?"

"Yes, it's your good son, haha..."

As he spoke, Wang Xidu told everything he had learned before, and finally said:

"According to the emperor's order, you, the Lord of Wu'an, should return to Northern Zhili and wait for the next order."

"..."

Chen Taiping looked doubtful. Is his son so powerful now?
They ran off to the Shiwan Mountains and even alarmed the Wind Moon Demon Emperor? !
The previous time, when the Kyoto Prefecture sent him a letter, it only told him that Chen Yi was in the Shiwanda Mountains.

At that time, Chen Taiping was still a little unhappy. They had already passed through Beizhili to go to Yaoting, and the second son had not even thought of going to Heiling County to visit his father.

After hearing what Wang Xidu said, Chen Taiping was not angry at all. He just felt that his son was indeed very capable and much more capable than he as a father.

"Let's go! Return to the Heiling County camp!"
