I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 298 - 154: Finally Meeting (Subscribe Please)_2

Crack.

Chen Yi’s face had already turned stern, his hand crushing the porcelain bowl into powder without realizing it.

"Does brother know why he would do such a thing?"

Chen Yuan shook his head lightly, popping open another jar of wine and pouring two bowls before drinking one down in a gulp. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"I don’t know, I still have no idea why he treated me that way."

"The only possibility is that they had planned long ago for me to become a disciple of Absolute Blade Yan Hai, that’s why they tempered me in such a way."

Tempered?

Chen Yi’s gaze was icy, and he scoffed in his heart, this was far beyond the scope of tempering.

If it weren’t for the fact that the eldest brother’s Foundation Establishment was outstanding, and he had also practiced the Chen Family’s Basic Skills, he would have died in that dungeon long ago.

This isn’t tempering, it’s like raising a gu!

Chen Yuan glanced at him, squeezing out a smile on his face and said, "Actually, that place wasn’t really dangerous."

"I only realized later, looking back, that Chen Ke had always been there, watching over me."

"If I had really suffered a fatal injury, or couldn’t hold on, perhaps he would have intervened and taken me out."

"Perhaps?" Chen Yi frowned and looked at him, asking, "Don’t you want to understand the reason why they did what they did?"

He had wanted to directly ask Chen Yuan if he wanted revenge, even if Duke Jingye Zhou Tiance was his maternal grandfather, he should not have treated him like this.

However, after thinking it through, Chen Yi changed his angle.

No matter what Chen Yuan chose, he wouldn’t interfere.

But as for Duke Jingye Zhou Tiance, Hidden Dragon, Chen Ke, and the others, Chen Yi would definitely not let them off!

"Isn’t it Absolute Blade?" Chen Yuan seemed to be stumped by the question, a puzzled expression crossing his face, "Is there something else?"

"Second brother, I know our grandpa’s methods are domineering, but I think he’s just been a bit too heavy-handed."

"By comparison, my master—Absolute Blade Yan Hai, is the one who’s truly indifferent and capricious in nature."

Here, Chen Yuan’s expression dimmed slightly, as if reluctant to recall that period.

"Ever since I became his disciple on Wuliang Mountain, that’s when I truly understood the meaning of cold-heartedness."

"His ’teaching’ methods couldn’t merely be called ’strict.’"

"Whether climbing the mountain or practicing saber techniques, especially in winter. Actually, I really hate snowy days, the wind on Wuliang Mountain is very cold..."

Towards the end, Chen Yuan laughed inexplicably, his tone becoming more relaxed as if those experiences were also considered a fond memory.

"Compared to my master, the teachers in the Marquis Mansion were truly wonderful."

"Second brother, do you still remember the letter I wrote to you?"

Chen Yi nodded, he remembered clearly, it was the first letter his eldest brother wrote to him, and also the last.

"It was written before I went to the Sealing Demon Valley, I didn’t expect that by the time I came out, it had already been ten years."

Chen Yuan drank another bowl of wine and said with a smile, "When I came out, I saw the letters you sent."

"But master had already read them in advance, let me tell you, he was very angry."

"Especially since you always mentioned ’Earthly List First,’ ’Little Sword Immortal,’ he was so mad he wanted to march up to the Grand Void Sect and chop you down."

Chen Yi didn’t laugh, and certainly didn’t think snooping in other people’s letters was something a good person would do.

But as he looked at Chen Yuan with a smiling face, an unbelievable guess surfaced in his mind—

Maybe such experiences, in Chen Yuan’s eyes, are considered a good memory?

Only because such memories don’t include torment, coldness, hunger, and killing.

"Brother, when you see your master next time, give him my regards."

Chen Yi lifted the bowl and drained it in one gulp, wiping the wine from his lips and saying:

"Tell him, I admire his Absolute Blade very much, and if there’s a chance, I’d like to ask for his guidance."

Chen Yuan nodded, but then shook his head seriously and said:

"Leave him to me."

Chen Yi was taken aback, his eyes showing a trace of surprise.

Did the eldest brother mean to kill his master, Absolute Blade Yan Hai?

"Don’t look at me like that, I’m serious."

Chen Yuan drank more wine, the warmth of the liquor coloring his face with a hint of rosiness, yet making his white hair even more noticeable.

"After I accepted his task before leaving, to go south and kill that barbarian, I’ve wanted to slaughter him."

"I thought it was just an ordinary barbarian, who knew he’d turn out to be the father of one of the Shamans from the Southern Barbarian Sect..."

Then, Chen Yuan recounted his experiences in the Southern Barbarian Land, casually speaking of being hunted by Shamans.

Evading pursuit, fighting with the barbarians, and so on.

Until, with a touch of sadness and a bitter smile on his face, he added:

"It was also then that I met Senior Sister Ling Yinrong..."

Chen Yi had been silently listening all along, even when he mentioned Senior Sister Ling, he didn’t interject, only clinking bowls with him.

This was the first time they had done so since sitting down together.

After finishing his drink, Chen Yuan looked him in the eye and said, "I later learned that she came from the Sword Edge Mountain of the Grand Void Sect, that she’s your senior sister."

Chen Yi nodded, "But before I went up the mountain, she had been traveling outside, she hadn’t returned for a long time."

"She told me," Chen Yuan’s eyes were somewhat sorrowful, but more filled with self-blame, "if not for me, for my reckless involvement of her..."

His voice became hoarse, as if there were a few pebbles trapped in his throat grinding against each other.

"At first, we planned to flee the Southern Barbarian Land, but before we could find the right direction, we encountered a Great Shaman."

"It was then, she got seriously injured trying to save me."

Chen Yuan looked down, his hands beginning to tremble involuntarily, and his body also started to shake slightly.

The Wan Jun Saber by his side seemed to resonate with his inner turmoil, vibrating on its own.

As its faint saber cries echoed through the mountains, it made the cold wind a bit chillier, the snowflakes larger.
