I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

"Are you kidding me! Can someone who plays with knives be any match for the 'White Robed Guest'? Just one melody of 'Gut-Wrenching Song' can send him to the afterlife!"

"I swear by the 'Golden Saber,' even the Four Directions Building ranked him at ninety-nine!"

"You believe the Four Directions Building? Calling you an idiot is actually being polite!"

Similar debates were happening from the Moon Viewing Tower at the foot of the Imperial City to the paintings on the boats by Qu Pond.

But compared to the carefree Jianghu guests, scholars from the academy appeared much more refined.

"A night on the little tower brings the spring wind again, and the academy still shines brightest in the Capital. My brother Xie Dongan from the Kyoto Academy will surely rank in the top ten. How many university scholars from other academies dare to compete?"

"You son of a—!"

"So you're cursing now? Is this the quality of scholars from Linan Academy?"

"You son of a—!"

"You... I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"

"You son of a—..."

Inside the Duke Wu An Mansion, Hua Youxiang sat on the eaves, gripping the sword hilt to sense the surrounding movements.

Wearing a purplish-red long dress with fluttering sashes and hair tied at the back, she looked every part the Jianghu female hero.

However, her face bore a mischievous smile that was completely at odds with her appearance as a female hero, her brows slightly raised, leaving the passing Night Watch Department members with peculiar expressions.

"Isn't that Hua Youxiang from the Grand Void Sect?"

"She's the sister of Lord Heroic Marquis, don't stare."

"Nothing wrong with a look, but why does she have such a smile?"

Hua Youxiang heard the discussions of the Night Watch Department members and raised her head, saying, "What are you doing dawdling here? They're fighting over at Moon Viewing Tower!"

"What? Such audacity!"

The leader of the Night Watch Department, Silver Flag Order, changed his expression and hurriedly led the Copper Flag Order members toward Moon Viewing Tower.

Hua Youxiang laughed even more heartily seeing their flustered state.

"Youxiang, what are you doing up there? Come down quickly." Hua Xianzi walked gracefully over, looking up at Hua Youxiang standing on the rooftop with a blush on her face.

This is, after all, Brother Chen Yi's home.

If the Chen Family saw this, they'd likely tease them for not knowing proper etiquette.

"Sis, come up, come up." Upon hearing the voice, Hua Youxiang not only didn't come down but also signaled for her to join her:

"You have no idea how entertaining it is outside."

"Those Jianghu guests who've come to watch the event are almost fighting over the debate about each academy's talents."

Hua Xianzi's face turned serious, "Erhua!"

"..."

Hua Youxiang momentarily paused her smile, and upon seeing her expression, begrudgingly jumped down from the rooftop, muttering dejectedly:

"Big sis, I've been cooped up practicing for days, I'm bored out of my mind."

Hua Xianzi didn't pay heed to her words, pulling her hand and heading towards the backyard, Chunhe Garden.

While walking, she sent a transmitted voice, "Still, you can't be so rude, come back with me!"

"Alright, alright..." Knowing her elder sister's thin skin, Hua Youxiang followed, feeling helpless.

As they walked through the Duke Wu An Mansion, house servants and maids stopped to greet them, and several side-branch Chen Family members also greeted them with smiles.

"Do the two fairies have any orders?"

"No."

Hua Xianzi's face turned red, quickening her pace slightly.

When facing those Jianghu guests and noble sons outside, she could maintain an aloof demeanor, but this was the Duke Wu An Mansion, Brother Chen Yi's home.

She, she didn't dare.

"Sis, it's not good to be so restrained." Hua Youxiang saw her hesitation and teased:

"Relax, relax, the more nervous you are, the more mistakes you'll make. Treat this like our own home, or at the very least, like Sword Edge Mountain."

"What do you mean..." Hua Xianzi gave her a frustrated look, her bright eyes still beautiful.

"I just know."

Hua Youxiang's eyes darted, whispering, "Do you want to know what Brother's family thinks of us?"

"What, what do they think?" Hua Xianzi felt her heart skip a beat, "Does Brother's family talk about us?"

"Of course they do, I don't know about others, but the Old Lady and some of Brother's elders have mentioned us."

Splat.

Hua Xianzi gave her a light smack, "You're misusing Sword Intent again."

"Hehe, just listen," Hua Youxiang wasn't hurt at all and continued with a smile, "Just say whether you want to know or not?"

Hua Xianzi paused her steps and used sound transmission, "Speak!"

What the heck!

Clearly wanting to know, but with such a tone!

Hua Youxiang stuck out her tongue secretly and didn't keep any secrets, then recounted what she had heard over the past few days.

"The Old Lady said, Senior Brother Chen Yi is now honored as Marquis, and in the future, he should branch out independently from the Chen Family."

"If there's only Senior Sister Xueru, the Old Lady worries that Senior Brother Chen Yi won't be able to complete the task. These days, she has even invited a few gossipy women to discuss."

"Gossipy women?" Hua Xianzi looked at her suspiciously.

"Just those few, seemingly some relatives from Senior Brother's family," Hua Youxiang snorted:

"They are actually arranging a marriage for Senior Brother Chen Yi, and say that there are many unmarried young ladies within Kyoto Prefecture, like the daughter of the Du Family of Prince Zhenbei, the daughter of the Assistant Minister of the Military Department Zhao family, and so on."

"Especially the one from Senior Brother's second granduncle's house; they say her own family is a prestigious one in Kyoto Prefecture, and she strongly suggested to the Old Lady to take her little niece as a concubine for Senior Brother."

"Sister, do you think they aren't gossipy women?"

Hua Xianzi indifferently noted everything Erhua said word for word but pretended not to care as she asked:

"This, what does it have to do with us?"

"Of course, it relates!"

Hua Youxiang's expression changed, she smiled and said, "Senior Brother's second uncle suggested that Senior Brother make his own decisions, and even said that you and Senior Sister Xiao are both nice, being close to Senior Brother."

"Senior Sister Xiao?"

"Yeah, Senior Sister Xiao is the daughter of our Sect Master, even the Old Lady praises her."

"Is that so..."

Hua Xianzi felt a bit melancholic, feeling from this that she didn't seem special in the hearts of Senior Brother's family.

"Sister," Hua Youxiang, knowing her feelings, stepped forward and put a hand on her shoulder, saying:

"I think you don't need to worry too much; from what I know about Senior Brother, he wouldn't follow family arrangements. Especially that second granny's little niece, surely she wouldn't move Senior Brother's heart."

"What I mean is that when Senior Brother returns, you should find him alone, maybe in the deep of night when it's quiet, and then hehehe..."

Before she finished, Hua Xianzi's face flushed shamefully and chided, "You deserve a spanking!"

Just at this time, Xiao Xuanzhen saw them return to Chunhe Garden, took a look, and asked with a smile, "What secret discussions are you two Junior Sisters having?"

Hua Xianzi quickly lowered her hand, with an unmistakable reddish tint, and said, "Youxiang said there are Jianghu Guests outside the mansion discussing the prodigy rankings."

"Really?" Xiao Xuanzhen pointed at her face and teasingly said, "Junior Sister's face is so red, it doesn't look like it's because of any prodigies."

"Could it be that Junior Sister has found a prodigy she fancies and is thinking about love?"

Hua Xianzi's face turned even redder, feeling a surge of heat, she hastily denied it and directly returned to her room.

Xiao Xuanzhen watched her back and beckoned Erhua, asking, "What's wrong with your sister?"

Hua Youxiang casually said, "What else, she's obviously missing Senior Brother Chen Yi."

"Erhua!!"

Hua Xianzi heard the voice, gritted her teeth, muttered, but didn't dare to turn her head back, running even faster.

"Hahaha..."

Hua Youxiang laughed heartily, without a care in the world.

In her view, her elder sister and Senior Brother have mutual feelings, and marriage is just a matter of time, no need to be so coy.

Even if it's not Xiao Xuanzhen, she'd say the same in front of Lin Xueru.

"Looks like you won't be going back tonight," Xiao Xuanzhen said watching Hua Youxiang full of smiles, not afraid of stirring further amusement.

"Then I won't go back, Kyoto Prefecture is under curfew these days, there's hardly anyone on the streets, it's really boring." Hua Youxiang sat at the stone table in the garden, propping her chin with her hands and said:

"I don't even know when senior brother will return, seeing that in three days, the grand event will begin."

"Chen Yi..."

Thinking of that annoying face of Chen Yi, Xiao Xuanzhen's smile faded a little, looking towards the room and said:

"He indeed needs to hurry back."

Hua Youxiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is Senior Sister Xueru still in retreat?"

Xiao Xuanzhen nodded and sighed, "Ever since she heard of what Junior Brother did in the Ten Thousand Mountains a few days ago, Junior Sister Xueru has closed herself off again."

"She even swallowed a few Spirit Pills, saying she wants to attempt breaking through to Second Grade Upper Rank, or even to First Grade Void Extreme Realm."

"So soon?" Hua Youxiang stuck out her tongue and said:

"If Chen Yi doesn't come back soon, Senior Sister Xueru will become obsessed with cultivation."

Xiao Xuanzhen remained silent for a moment, and then spoke in a soft voice, "Who says that's not the case."

It's not just Lin Xueru who's obsessed, but also everyone close to Chen Yi…
