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

Chapter 41 Heading East (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Three days later, Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

The Wu'an Marquis Mansion was filled with big red lanterns.

All the way from the gate to the front yard, the main hall of the middle yard, and then to the backyard, every courtyard is painted in festive colors.

There are two big characters written on each lantern - Wu'an.

In addition, the old butler asked the servants to tie red ribbons on the branches of some trees.

Pieces of paper are hung under the ribbons as "riddles".

This way, the children from each courtyard in the Marquis's mansion would have a place to play after the reunion dinner.

At the same time, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion did not forget another major event in the mansion after the Mid-Autumn Festival - Chen Yi set out to become a disciple of Taixu Dao.

For this purpose, she privately instructed each family to prepare a gift as a thank you gift to Chen Yi.

There were quite a few responders.

Even some side branches, especially those beyond the fifth degree of mourning, prepared an extra gift for Xia Wanwan as a token of their thoughtfulness.

They knew very well that once Chen Yi joined Taixu Taoist Sect, Xia Wanwan's status and position would also rise.

This can be easily seen from the fact that the old lady increased the food, clothing, and monthly allowance for Fanghua Garden three times.

Of course, they also prepared one for Madam Zhou Wanyi as a gift for Chen Yuan’s successful entry into Wuliang Mountain.

It has to be said that those who can stay in the Marquis' Mansion are, no matter how smart they are, their minds are as clear as a mirror.

At this time, in Fanghua Garden.

"Yier, when you are in Taixu Road next time, remember to pay attention to safety."

While Xia Wanwan and Luoluo were packing Chen Yi's clothes and luggage, she pretended to be calm and gave him instructions.

"I've got this in mind, son." Chen Yi responded obediently.

It is said that "a mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away", and this is true in any world.

Although Xia Wanwan tried hard to hide it, he could still see that she was trembling slightly. It seemed that she was trying hard to swallow her tears.

Not long after, a burst of firecrackers was heard from the central courtyard.

Xia Wanwan paused, forced a smile, and said, "Let's go. Don't let grandma and the others wait anxiously."

"Ah."

Chen Yi followed behind them, feeling a little melancholy, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort his biological mother.

After all, Xia Wanwan is not Chen Taiping...

After thinking for a long time, Chen Yi's eyes fell on his wrist and his eyes lit up.

"Mother, can I give you a gift?"

"what?"

Chen Yi untied the small jade sword that had been hanging on his wrist and handed it to her with a smile on his face:

"This is the one for you."

Although the small jade sword meant a lot to him, not only did it bring him the power of blessing from the heroic spirits of his ancestors, it also helped him escape a disaster, but it was ultimately too fragile.

It won’t be of much help to him in the future, so it’s better to keep him with Xia Wanwan.

On the one hand, it gave her something to think about, and on the other hand, Chen Yi also left three sword intentions on the jade sword.

Even if it was just the rudiments of sword intent, it could at least provide Xia Wanwan with some protection.

Xia Wanwan accepted it with a smile and hung it on her wrist, "Good Yier..."

But as she laughed, her eyes became red and two lines of tears appeared.

What she didn't know was that the small jade sword quietly raised the tip and aimed at Chen Yi, as if wanting to stab him.

Chen Yi felt something and immediately gave it a few looks to comfort it.

"Ace, don't forget that you are the ace, Little Jade Sword."

"You are the only one I can trust now. You are the only one who can protect my mother for me."

"Don't worry, when I come back after completing my studies, I will definitely change your clothes to something stronger..."

Jade Sword: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Gu Tiangang appeared outside the Wu'an Marquis Mansion on time.

Also accompanying them was Ning Xue, the swordsmanship genius of Taixu Taoist Sect.

Both of them were wearing the Taoist robes of Taixu Taoist Sect.

On the black coat, a tiger with its head held high was embroidered with white silk thread.

Not long after, Chen Yi boarded a carriage with Xia Wanwan and others in the Hou Mansion seeing him off, and went to the next destination with Gu Laodao and Mr. Ning.

"Are you reluctant?"

Ning Xue looked a little more elegant in her Taoist robe than in her previous white dress, but it still couldn't hide her beautiful face and graceful figure. "A little bit."

Chen Yi recalled the way Xia Wanwan smiled with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Mr. Ning, how long have you been in Taixu Dao Sect?"

"Many years." Ning Xue tilted her head and looked thoughtful. "Eleven years."

"You entered the mountain sect at the age of five?"

"Well, the brothers on the mountain are different from you noble sons. Most of them came after the age of five."

As she spoke, Ning Xue seemed to remember something, and her pretty face became slightly serious.

"From now on, I am no longer your master. After you formally join the Taixu Dao, you can just call me Senior Sister."

"Senior sister?" Chen Yi was stunned, then smiled and nodded, "I'll listen to you."

I guess she wants to completely separate Xingwu Academy and Taixu Taoist Sect.

Senior sister is senior sister, it’s better than master’s wife…

Gu Tiangang was very efficient. It only took him an hour to get Du Yanqing, Lin Xueru and the others onto the carriage.

Then we headed east, bypassed Daikonji Temple and left Kyoto Prefecture.

However, in addition to Chen Yi and other noble sons, there were also the twelfth prince Wei Letian and Princess Wei Xiaoyun in the carriage.

Therefore, two teams of black-armored guards followed behind the carriage.

It is said that these guards were specially arranged by Emperor Wei, who had just returned to the imperial palace from the hunting ground in the back mountains.

No matter how Gu Lidao refused again and again, these black-armored guards insisted on following them until they reached Taixu Dao.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Yi and others. Their minds have long been on the scenery outside the car.

“So broken!”

"Yeah, it's totally different from what I imagined."

Before an hour had passed, their enthusiasm had worn off and there was a hint of disappointment on their faces.

Although the outside world was not as bad as they said, it was very different from the prosperous and beautiful Kyoto Prefecture.

The scenery on both sides of the official road is not beautiful mountains and rivers, but a bit dry and old.

Most of the travelers hurried by, their clothes covered in dust.

If they saw their car frame from a distance, those people would stay away from it, as if they were afraid of running into them.

Ning Xue saw their expressions and taught them while remembering their young age:
"Because you have always stayed in Kyoto Prefecture and are used to the prosperity and peace, you think that other prefectures are the same."

"That's not the case..."

Then she picked out some appropriate content from what she knew.

In addition to the droughts that occurred in Xijiang Prefecture and Jiangnan Prefecture earlier, there were more cases of demons descending and breaking into villages in prefectures, counties and wreaking havoc.

There was one thing that left a deep impression on Chen Yi.

That happened in Jiangnan Prefecture before Ning Xue came to Kyoto Prefecture.

A demon whose strength was only equivalent to that of an eighth-grade Na Yuan realm, took advantage of its small size and sneaked into the city.

He massacred five families in a row before being caught by the Night Watch. A total of seventeen lives were lost.

There were also many powerful monsters like the Hanba who caused the drought before, hiding in the territory of the Wei Dynasty.

However, because there are sects and capital cities protecting various places, those demons that have become spirits and have gained wisdom generally do not act rashly.

Most of the time, they would just secretly hunt a few people to satisfy their hunger.

"These things that you cannot see are the real Da Wei."

Ning Xue finished her story in a very calm manner, but she was also filled with emotion.

I hope they can adapt soon.

Although the sect was considered a pure land, it was definitely not like when they were in Kyoto Prefecture.

In the future, they can only rely on themselves for everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even spiritual practice.

"I see."

Chen Yi looked at the slightly dilapidated official roads outside the car and the travelers coming and going, and he gained a clearer understanding of this world.

I don’t know if the boss knew this when he left.

I think the person dressed as the old butler should be able to remind him, right?
“Brother Yi, Ru, Ruru will protect you.” Seeing his expression, Lin Xueru suddenly leaned closer and whispered.

Chen Yi was stunned: "..."

What is going on in the little girl's head? ?
