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

Chapter 65 I Dare to Ask the Heavenly Immortals...

During the Lantern Festival, Kyoto Prefecture becomes particularly lively.

This year is no exception.

The lanterns displayed in every household, when lit at night, illuminate the streets of Kyoto Prefecture with a bright red glow.

The residence of Marquis Wu'an was as lively as usual.

However, due to the absence of Marquis Chen Taiping and the two young masters in the mansion, the liveliness was somewhat superficial.

After a joyful occasion, they dispersed early.

In a slightly remote small courtyard in the backyard, Old Madam Chen summoned a few people.

There were the second master of the Marquis' Mansion, Chen Lixin, the third master of the Marquis' Mansion, Chen Lide, the second master, Chen Taihang, and dozens of people dressed in black tights and short jackets.

"Mother, has there been any letter from Taiping?" Chen Lide looked at the men in black and nodded secretly.

Although these people are not from the Chen family, they are all good fighters in the Wuan army.

In addition to their strength reaching the fifth level of Baodan realm, they are also good at reconnaissance and tracking, and are elite scouts in the army.

"Taiping asked me to tell you," Old Madam Chen looked old but peaceful as she crossed her rosary beads and said, "Check on Marquis Jingye."

"Jingye Hou?"

"Zhou Tiance?"

Chen Lixin and Chen Lide were stunned. After looking at each other, they continued to ask, "Mother said that Taiping suspected that the person who attacked the children was Lord Zhou?"

Old Madam Chen raised her eyelids and glanced at them.

"I am only responsible for relaying the message. It is up to you whether you listen or not."

"Can……"

Chen Lixin wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Chen Lidra who was standing beside him.

"Mother, since Taiping said so, I will take them to investigate Jingye Marquis Mansion first."

As he spoke, Chen Lide glanced at Chen Taihang, who was still somewhat surprised, and said, "Taihang, you are in charge of them."

"I will inform you later on how to investigate Jingye Marquis's Mansion. Since it involves Old Marquis Zhou, there is no room for negligence."

Chen Taihang responded, then hesitated and said, "Uncle San, what if we find out that the person behind this is really him?"

"Humph, if it is really him, my Chen family will naturally ask for an explanation!"

"That's right, even if I have to report it to His Majesty, I will make him pay the price!"

While the Chen family members were discussing, dozens of scouts nearby remained silent, but their eyes were determined.

"Then let's do as Taiping said and check it out!"

……

Compared to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion which still had some festive atmosphere, the Jingye Marquis Mansion was obviously much more empty and quiet.

There were no lanterns outside the door and no one in the yard, it looked like an abandoned house.

Squeak.

As the wooden door with slightly faded paint opened, Zhou Tiance walked out of the ancestral hall coughing.

Chen Kuang held a white lantern and took the initiative to step forward and support him.

"Master, I will take you back."

Zhou Tiance glanced at him and walked forward with his body hunched over.

Chen Yan didn't take it seriously and followed him carefully.

"As you wished, the operation at Taixu Dao Sect failed."

"We also lost a Hidden Dragon Seed. Ahem, are you satisfied?"

Chen Yan's expression remained unchanged and he did not speak.

He knew that if Zhou Tiance was angry, he would not say these things.

"Do you also think that I am old and confused, crazy!?"

"I wouldn't do that, and I dare not even think so." Chen Kuan bowed quickly.

"Humph," Zhou Tiance snorted, "When you returned to Kyoto Prefecture that day, you took immediate action to clean up the mess. You did it in a timely manner."

"Why? Are you afraid that Marquis Wu'an will find out that it was me who did it, and you will be implicated?"

"Master, Chen Yan has absolutely no such intention! Chen Yan only cares about your safety and protecting the safety of the Marquis' Mansion."

"Heh," Zhou Tiance sneered and said no more.

It was not until the two of them passed through the empty martial arts hall and the middle courtyard and came to the backyard that he continued:

"I don't care what your plan is, Yuan'er must not be lost!"

"Since you don't want to take action against those two little bastards, then just wait for Yuan'er to finish his training and come down the mountain."

Having said that, a hint of spirit appeared on Zhou Tiance's gray face, and his cloudy eyes became sharper.

"Then let him take charge of 'Qianlong'!"

Chen Kuang bowed again, as if he gladly accepted the result.

"As for you," Zhou Tiance remained unmoved and snorted coldly, "Next, cooperate well with Qiu Long and the others." "In another three years, when Chen Taiping returns, I want to see a dedicated army that is capable of fighting!"

"Serious illness, I understand!"

“I hope you really understand.”

Having said that, Zhou Tiance turned and walked towards the quiet and dark backyard, coughing and sending back a message.

"Next, lie dormant."

After Zhou Tiance and his men left, he got up from his illness.

After waiting for a long time, he spoke coldly.

"Give the order and have our people enter a state of silence."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a response from the corner, and a faint whispering sound fading away.

After doing all this, Chen Yan sighed, turned around and left slowly.

This result is the best.

He only hoped that by doing this, the master, the young lady, and Master Yuan would be safe.

……

Chen Yi, who was far away in Taixu Taoist Sect, had no idea what was happening in Kyoto Prefecture.

He spent the whole day playing with Lin Xueru and others.

In addition to the little girl, Du Yanqing and his sister, Wei Letian and his sister, and Wang Yongnian, who had not been seen for a long time, all asked for leave from their teachers and came to Jianfeng Mountain.

Hua Youxiang looked at them with envy, and sent a message to Flower Fairy and Hua Yourong, asking them to come over from Danfeng Mountain.

It is worth mentioning that even Xiao Xuanzhen came along with Ning Xuelin Xueru out of curiosity about what the Lantern Festival was like.

The daughter of the clan leader had lived in the mountains since she was a child. Not only had she never celebrated the Lantern Festival, she also had no idea about other festivals, big or small.

Most of the time, what she knew was either from books or oral accounts.

After all, in the Taixu Taoist Sect, which focuses on martial arts practice, few people would waste time on festivals.

Of course, it has happened before.

But like Chen Yi and others, they were just a small gathering of fellow villagers to reminisce about the days in the mountains.

Then the next day he continued to practice martial arts.

After a day of several small activities, Xiao Xuanzhen's peach blossom eyes were sparkling.

Although she still dislikes Chen Yi, it does not stop her from playing with Lin Xueru, Flower Fairy and others.

She actively participated in lantern riddles, handmade dumplings, etc.

Even the last wish to release the "Flying Fairy" was written by Xiao Xuanzhen, who followed Chen Yi and the others and wrote a wish.

While writing, she smiled meaningfully at Chen Yi.

There was no need to guess, Chen Yi knew that the wish she wrote was related to him.

I guess it was something like defeat him, cripple him, or kill him.

Little did he know that what Xiao Xuanzhen wrote was indeed related to him, but even more thoroughly than he had guessed.

"My first wish is to defeat Chen Yi and see if he dares to ignore me again in the future!"

"My second wish is to keep Junior Sister Lin away from him. How can such a good girl have an engagement?"

"My third wish is to see the immortal who fulfilled my wish. No matter what kind of immortal you are, I advise you to help me realize it as soon as possible, otherwise..."

If Chen Yi saw that these were the wishes she wrote, he would not be angry but would burst into laughter instead.

The first time I saw someone make a wish, she used a threatening tone to ask the "immortal" to help her realize her wish.

When the "flying fairy" floated away and could no longer be seen, Lin Xueru blinked her big eyes and asked:
"Brother Yi, why don't you ask me what my wish is this time?"

Chen Yi followed her words and asked with a smile: "What is your wish?"

"I won't tell you~"

After saying that, the little girl ran towards the flower fairies and the others.

While running, she turned back and laughed at Chen Yi, her little figure as happy as a dancing butterfly.

"..."

Chen Yi was speechless.

However, after seeing those girls chattering about something, he did not go over to disturb their interest.

On the Lantern Festival, just let them do as they please.

As for the wish that Chen Yi wrote tonight——

He looked up at the starry night sky and the full moon and smiled.

"I, Chen Yi, dare to ask the immortals in heaven..."
