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

Chapter 43 Don't Kill Me

After dinner, Chen Yi and others returned to their rooms.

This post station is not big. Apart from a private courtyard, it has only three upper rooms and more than ten common beds.

Because it is at the foot of the mountain closest to Taixu Taoist Sect, and it happened to be the period when Taixu Taoist Sect opened its gates to recruit disciples, the place was already overcrowded.

Even the private courtyard where Gu Tiangang arranged for them to live was a place to stay because it was booked by Taixu Taoist Sect all year round.

Otherwise, they would have to sleep on the carriage frame at night like those people outside the inn.

In fact, a small incident occurred when I moved into that courtyard.

The rich kid who came from nowhere to Taixu Taoist Sect to become a disciple was so angry that he almost smashed the inn when he saw that the innkeeper, who had previously claimed that he had no place to stay, arranged for Chen Yi and others to live in the backyard.

If the rich boy didn’t have an attendant with extremely sharp eyesight, he would have recognized the Taixu Taoist robes on Gu Tiangang and Ning Xue.

I'm afraid Chen Yi can still see the classic scene in the storybook - the scene of slapping the face of an arrogant rich kid.

Unfortunately, reality is not like a story after all.

Even the dumbest person wouldn't do anything like provoking the disciples of Taixu Taoist Sect outside the mountain gate, right?
……

At nightfall, the entire inn was silent.

Thinking that he would be able to join Taixu Taoist Sect tomorrow, Chen Yi couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

It’s not that I’m worried about accidents, but the unfamiliarity of facing the new environment where I will have to live for a long time in the future.

"I don't know what tomorrow's assessment will be."

"Gu Lao Dao and Mr. Ning are both smiling but not saying anything, so it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Unable to fall asleep, Chen Yi got up and sat on the stone pier at the door, holding in his hand the Chunyu sword that he never left behind.

He looked up at the bright starry sky, and a dazed look appeared on his little face.

Although only more than ten days had passed, he knew that he was already thousands of miles away from Kyoto Prefecture.

During this journey, he occasionally thought about his life in Kyoto Prefecture, especially during breaks or when he felt bored.

In addition to thinking about Xia Qianqian and Chen Yuan, what comes to mind more is his experience of studying hard and diligently.

Ever since he learned to speak and read, he has been under the instruction of gentlemen.

He learned the "Ten Thousand Character Classic" taught by Mr. Li, had guards like Ding Sansi practice swordsmanship, and had old carpenters and others enlighten him.

Most of them do not have very strong martial arts skills, but it is not difficult for them to feel the satisfaction in their hearts.

Over time, Chen Yi became dependent on that relatively comfortable environment and became satisfied.

However, as he got further and further away from Kyoto Prefecture, his previous perceptions were broken one after another.

Especially what Ning Xue said about demons slaughtering ordinary people made him realize the real world and feel the importance of strength from the bottom of his heart.

"The Tianyuan Continent is not the peaceful and prosperous place like in the previous life. It is a dangerous place where demons are rampant."

"You better be careful at all times."

While Chen Yi was secretly alert, he also clarified the direction for the future.

"After all, my strength is too weak..."

If he had the ancient Taoist's second-grade divine wandering realm cultivation, it should be enough to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi summoned the panel to check.

【Name: Chen Yi】

【Age: 32】

[Cultivation: Ninth-grade Worldly Realm (Upper Section)]

[Talent: Late bloomer - the older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed]

[Basic Kungfu: Dacheng - Drops of water become a river, and then a great thing can be achieved]

[Kendo: Minor Success - Only by traveling around the world, being good at fighting and using swords well, can one comprehend the meaning of swords.]

【Counterattack Points: 83/100】

"The counterattack points are 83, and there are still 17 points left. Although it's not much, I don't know when I can get them all." Chen Yi muttered to himself and then turned off the panel.

Although he believed that his current strength was much higher than that of Du Yanqing, Wei Letian and others.

But the changing environment still makes him feel a lot of urgency.

After he joins Taixu Taoist Sect tomorrow, it seems he will have to think of some ways to gain more counterattack points.

Try to start the third [Counterattack Mission] as soon as possible.

Only in this way can his strength improve faster.

At this moment, a whispering sound came from not far away, which made Chen Yi frown slightly.

"Second sister, are we really going there?"

"What, you're not afraid anymore, are you?"

"No, I'm not afraid. It's just that my eldest sister said before that those people are obviously the children of nobles. If we rush over here rashly, I'm worried..."

"If you're not afraid, then don't talk. I've already said that we're only here to borrow some food to take back. You can see that my elder sister is almost fainting from hunger."

"So, do we have to pay money?"

"do you have?"

"No……"

"Neither do I! You see, neither of us has any money, so just finding food without paying is the best solution!"

Hearing such a sound, Chen Yi hid quietly and observed secretly.

I didn't expect that after dark, someone would really run here desperately, and was it to steal things?

This was truly the first time he had experienced this.

Soon, Chen Yi saw two people who were about the same height as him sneaking towards him.

In the darkness of the night, one could vaguely see the handsome looks and petite figures of the two "thieves".

They held hands and walked towards the backyard while looking around.

"They are still two little girls."

Chen Yi looked at them secretly for a moment. From their simple clothes, it was not difficult to tell that their family conditions were not good.

I couldn't help but believe what they just said. There really was someone who was so hungry that he was about to faint.

only……

Chen Yi glanced around and saw that the black-armored guards standing around were staring at them closely.

Several black-armored guards had even drawn their bows and shot arrows, as if they were ready to shoot them to death if they noticed something was wrong.

After thinking about it, Chen Yi appeared with a sword in hand.

While waving his hand to signal the black-armored guards to stay calm, he quietly walked towards the two "thieves".

"Second sister, do you feel that someone is staring at us?" One of the petite figures looked around curiously and said with a slightly trembling voice.

"Is there?" Another one who was a little braver looked around and found nothing, so he said helplessly: "Third sister, you are just too timid."

"Think about it, we're just here to borrow some food, not to steal, right?"

"Relax, relax. Listen to Second Sister. I promise you'll be fine."

"But, but Second Sister, if you don't pay, you're stealing."

"Oh, I already said no, you..."

At this moment, Chen Yi came to the side of the two people, with the Chunyu sword sheath across their necks, and said with a chuckle: "Your sister is right, taking without permission is stealing."

The two girls froze and turned around blankly.

But when they saw just a dark shadow on Chunyu's scabbard, they were so scared that they hugged each other tightly.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
