I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 301 - 154: Finally Meeting (Subscribe Please)_5

Wei Jinyu, on the other hand, paid no attention to all this, but looked in the direction where Chen Yi and Chen Yuan had left and asked:

"How long has it been since the brothers left?"

Gongye Shou was taken aback and replied, "It should have been about eight hours."

The suddenness of the question really made him unable to understand the thoughts of the Fourteenth Princess.

Could it be that in her heart, the change in the Southern Barbarian Land was less important than the Chen brothers?

"Oh."

Wei Jinyu nodded her head and walked towards Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi, smiling as she thanked them for the rescue earlier.

Watching her back, Gongye Shou asked with a strange expression, "What is she doing?"

Jiang Ye scoffed, "Probably an overflow of affection."

"??"

Seeing that the others were confused, Jiang Ye had no choice but to retell the conversation between Xie Dongan and Wei Jinyu.

"Does the Princess believe that Chen Yuan became what he is now because of Chen Yi?"

Gongye Shou and the others shook their heads, not knowing what to say.

The ritual of the first birthday divination has a long-standing tradition, with rules set at the inception of the Wei Dynasty.

It is said that the purpose is to ensure the continuance of the Human Race and to prevent everyone from practicing Martial Arts.

Firstly, the availability of heavenly materials and earthly treasures is limited, which hinders everyone from becoming successful.

Secondly, there also needs to be a group of people to sustain the Bloodline and heritage.

Initially, many did not adhere to this, but after several invasions by the Demon Court from the south, the families and nobility began to take it seriously.

Thus, those who picked up knives, swords, or books were given priority for Martial Arts training, in the hope that they could go further.

Children who picked up chickens, ducks, fish, and meat were expected to bear the responsibility of establishing a family and passing on the Bloodline.

Perhaps it involves luck, but most of the time, the first birthday divination aligns with an individual’s innate talent.

That is, children with an affinity for the Sword Dao would pick up the Little Jade Sword.

Children with a gift for scholarship would end up picking up books and the like.

This has been the case from ancient times until now.

"Nevermind her," Xie Dongan pondered for a long time, then looked towards the Dragon Transformation Pond and said, "Let the others go in first."

Gongye Shou nodded, signaling Xu Sannian and Pang Longxiang to enter as well.

Before long,

only Xiao Xuanzhen, Hua Xianzi, Gongye Shou, Xie Dongan, and Wei Jinyu remained at the site.

Even Jiang Ye and Wei Nantian and others had entered the Dragon Transformation Pond.

After Xie Dongan and Gongye Shou chatted for a moment, seeing Wei Jinyu still talking to Xiao Xuanzhen about something, they listened carefully and their expressions also turned strange.

"...After such an event, Brother Yi will definitely stand by Chen Yuan’s side, right?"

Xiao Xuanzhen nodded, "Yes, actually none of us want them to turn against each other."

"It definitely won’t happen."

A smile appeared on Wei Jinyu’s lovely face, and then she untied her hair bun, letting her long hair fall down, reverting back to a young girl’s appearance.

"Brother Yi was very popular when he was in Kyoto Prefecture; the neighbors praised him."

"Is that so?"

Xiao Xuanzhen exchanged a glance with Hua Xianzi and Sound Transmitted, "Junior Sister, what do you think about the Princess’s intentions?"

"Why do I feel something is off?"

Hua Xianzi nodded slightly, feeling strange as well.

The Prince who was second on the Earthly List had tried to get Wei Jinyu to go into the Dragon Transformation Pond but was refused.

Her reason was, "I want to stay to thank Brother Yi for saving my life."

However, the strange thing was, Wei Jinyu kept talking to them for a long time, but she brought up Chen Yuan intentionally or otherwise.

This left them somewhat puzzled; it was only later that they talked about Chen Yuan and Senior Sister Ling Yinrong’s matter.

"I wonder when Brother Yi will return; I’m getting hungry."

Wei Jinyu, looking at the distant woods with a glint of laughter in her eyes, then took out a variety of snacks from the Sumeru Ring, suggesting,

"Let’s eat while we wait."

"Sister Xiao, tell me more about Brother Yi. I heard he had an epiphany before entering the secret realm?"

"That’s what happened."

"So that’s why he didn’t encounter Chen Yuan who went ahead?"

"Yes..."

Hearing this, Xie Dongan and Gongye Shou exchanged glances, a peculiar feeling rising within them as well.

Before they could speak, they saw two figures approaching from afar—sure enough, it was Chen Yi and Chen Yuan.

When they saw them walking side by side, arm in arm, the five of them let out a collective sigh of relief.

After the faint sound passed, the group looked at each other and smiled.

Though their reasons for easing up might differ, it was clear that none of them wanted to see Chen Yi and Chen Yuan confront each other with swords.

"No, wait!"

At that moment, Wei Jinyu’s eyes widened in surprise, exclaiming, "He, he... Chen Yuan’s hair!?"

Upon hearing that, the rest of the group finally noticed the change.

Xiao Xuanzhen spoke with a complex expression, "It seems the truth is as Brother Chen Yi said, that Senior Sister Ling Yinrong went to her death willingly..."

Hua Xianzi let out a low sigh, feeling an inexplicable sadness.

The fact that two people who relied on each other ended up like this inevitably stirred her emotions.

She could only hope that she and Brother Chen Yi wouldn’t end up in such a scenario...

However, if such circumstances were to arise, she would make the same choice as Senior Sister Ling.

By the time Chen Yi and Chen Yuan approached, the strong smell of alcohol on them made Xie Dongan frown.

Seeing Chen Yuan with his white hair and drunken expression, Wei Jinyu was the first to step forward and said,

"Brother Yi, you’ve had quite a bit to drink; here’s some sobering soup. You, give some to Chen Yuan to drink."

Chen Yi glanced at her, and for some reason, he felt something was odd about her words.

Chen Yuan, already unconscious, with white hair covering his blood-coloured face, muttered to himself,

"Second brother, heh, second brother... I’m happy, happy..."

Amidst the confusion, Chen Yuan’s heart, which was silent in death, echoed with that song. freёnovelkiss.com

The childish lullaby provoked a blood-colored figure to roar in vain.

Chen Yuan saw him, but only laughed foolishly.

Senior Sister, waiting...
