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

Chapter 413 I thought... (Please subscribe)
Sending Erhua back to Jianfeng Mountain to teach her junior brothers and sisters was, of course, a joke.

Putting aside her own swordsmanship, her unruly personality alone makes it impossible for her to teach the newly recruited disciples of Sword Peak Mountain.

Who knows if she'll lead her junior brothers and sisters to run wild all over the Taixu Dao Sect?
Moreover, things are different now than before.

In the past, the sect leaders and elders of the Taixu Dao Sect could discipline the disciples of Jianfeng Mountain for not following the sect rules. Now that Chen Yi has become the ancestor of the human race, even the sect leaders and elders of Taixu Peak will mostly turn a blind eye to the disciples of Jianfeng Mountain.

As long as Sword Peak Mountain isn't excessively arrogant and domineering, I reckon not many people within the sect will bother with it.

Only Li Qingzhou, Xie Changle, and others could do it.

Given all these circumstances, it would be better to let Erhua lead Li Mingyue to form the "Black and White Duo" and wreak havoc on the martial arts world.

I believe that out of respect for the Taixu Dao Sect, the heroes of the Great Wei Dynasty's martial arts world will not hold it against them... right?

Chat for a while.

Lady Zhu Yu, the wife of the Duke of Xing, who had come upon hearing the news, appeared outside the courtyard. Upon seeing Chen Yi, she was about to bow.

Chen Yi dared not be so presumptuous.

Even though he is now the ancestor of the human race and the King of Tai'an of the Wei Dynasty, he still has to abide by certain etiquette and laws.

If word gets out that the future mother-in-law is bowing to him, others might not say anything, but it will certainly make Chen Taiping and Xia Wanwan look bad.

Moreover, Lin Xueru and others were also present.

Zhu Yu was naturally satisfied with this and asked with a smile, "Yi'er, how long will you be staying this time?"

Chen Yi did not hide anything and said frankly, "The day after tomorrow morning, I will take Xue Ru and the others to the Tai Zhou Mountain battlefield."

"So fast?"

"Please forgive me, Auntie. The war has just ended, and there are still many things to take care of. I can't get away for the time being."

Chen Yi told a little lie.

He didn't need to concern himself with the construction of the various cities, the Demon Court had ceased its activities, and there was basically nothing for the human race to do.

He had only guessed what Zhu Yu was thinking and was trying to steer the conversation away from the main topic.

After a pause, Chen Yi continued with a smile, "But next time I come back, I should be able to stay longer."

"Next year, when I come of age, I should be able to return from the Taizhou Mountain battlefield. At that time, I will stay in Kyoto Prefecture for a while longer."

Zhu Yu smiled brightly, her eyes sweeping over Lin Xueru, indicating:
“Yi’er is now of a high status and should indeed prioritize important matters. Your question just now was only… on behalf of Xue Ru.”

“This child has been talking about you for days, but when she saw that you were actually back, she became quiet and couldn’t say a word.”

"Mother, what did I do?" Lin Xueru blushed with embarrassment and dared not let her continue. She quickly asked, "Brother Yi will be returning to the Marquis's residence later. Mother, please prepare dinner."

Zhu Yu rolled her eyes at her, bowed slightly to Chen Yi, and said, "You two chat first," before turning to go to the kitchen to prepare the dinner.

Chen Yi did not refuse, but he couldn't help teasing the little girl a bit, saying that she had stopped being able to speak.

Lin Xueru wrinkled her nose and hummed without saying a word.

The flower fairy saw this and, though she smiled, she felt a little envious.

Outsiders say she should be the number one fairy in the Taoist sect now, and she has a cool and aloof personality.

But only she knew the truth.

She wished she could be like Lin Xueru, someone who dared to love and hate, someone who could say whatever she wanted and laugh whenever she wanted in front of Chen Yi.

As if noticing the Flower Fairy's gaze, Chen Yi turned his head to look at her, met her eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

The flower fairy was startled, turned her head slightly, and dared not look at him.

Senior Sister Xue Ru is still here, and she... still doesn't dare.

Seeing the two's subtle actions, Xiao Xuanzhen slightly pursed his lips and said, "Junior Brother Chen Yi, tell us about that great battle again."

"I heard that the Demon Court hates you so much they want to get rid of you. Is that true?"

Chen Yi glanced at her. "I guess so."

"If Senior Sister Xiao also wishes, I can bring you along next time I go to the Demon Court."

"You? You'd love for me to die!"

"I wouldn't dare. The sect leader is currently overseeing the construction of the new city at Mount Taizhou. If his precious daughter were to die in the Demon Court, wouldn't he skin me alive?"

"It's good that you know..."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the banquet at the Duke of Xing's residence was prepared.

Lin Hansong arrived late, as if he had just received the news. Upon seeing Chen Yi, who was seated to the side of the main seat, he was about to bow.

"Your humble servant..."

Chen Yi's divine sense emanated from his body, and he quickly helped him up, saying, "Uncle, please take a seat first. Today, we will only discuss family matters."

Lin Hansong was a bit old-fashioned. He wanted to try but found that he couldn't bend down to greet her. He had no choice but to be led to the seat of honor.

"My dear nephew, please forgive me, but a major event has just occurred in the imperial court..."

He paused, then shook his head with a wry smile: "It was your actions outside Beixiong Pass that pleased the Wei Emperor, so he kept us here a little longer."

"His Majesty was originally going to summon you to the palace from the Marquis of Wu'an's residence, but Eunuch Liu returned to report after not finding you there. He didn't expect to find you here."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded: "When I came back earlier, the White Mountain Ancestor asked me to intimidate the Demon Court, so I had no choice but to leave behind a sword intent."

"What does His Majesty say?"

"He didn't say anything, but he was preoccupied with going north to fight the demon, saying that he was afraid he would never succeed in this lifetime."

Chen Yi chuckled; this was indeed Emperor Wei's temperament.

Although there seems to be some hope for the Northern Expedition against the Demon Court, it is impossible to guarantee our own casualties if we act rashly in the short term.

Unless he can obtain more supernatural powers and divine insights from Daoist Zhao Muzi, he will inevitably suffer a result of "harming the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of his own".

"No rush, no rush..."

Lin Hansong was well aware that the Northern Expedition was unlikely to succeed, so he said no more and focused on keeping Chen Yi company at the banquet.

They drank and toasted each other, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

After the dinner, Chen Yi took his leave.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed the little girl and the others to rest at home for the next two days.

They will return to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield early the day after tomorrow.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Following the instructions given by Emperor Wei, Chen Yi arrived at the Imperial Palace.

In fact.

In the past two days, except for the day he returned, he spent most of the day at the Duke of Xing's residence.

He spent most of the following time at the Marquis of Wu'an's residence, accompanying Xia Wanwan and the others.

Inevitably, he discussed future plans with Chen Taiping, Chen Taihang, and others.

The main questions are how to deal with the future of the Tai'an Prince's Mansion and whether to request the Wei Emperor to create a military dependents for the Tai'an army.

Chen Yi himself didn't have much interest in this matter, but after understanding Chen Taiping's meaning, he specifically went to discuss it with Emperor Wei.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Wei agreed without hesitation.

That afternoon, an imperial decree was issued—the Tai'an Army was to recruit 10,000 men, to be managed by the Great Wei imperial family and a branch of the Chen family, the Marquis of Wu'an, and to make all arrangements for the military construction of the Prince of Pingqi, the Prince of Zhennan, and the Prince of Zhenbei.

This is undoubtedly a grand gesture.

It should be noted that Du Qing and Gongye Jia Hong each commanded three military commanders, who led over a million troops, and the expenses involved were beyond imagination.

The Tai'an Army only has a size of 10,000, but it requires the same amount of money as those two, which shows how extravagant the amount of pills, equipment, money and food per person must be.

However, Chen Yi was quite clear about Emperor Wei's plans.

After all, he would spend most of his time away from the Tianyuan Continent. Although the Tai'an Army was nominally under his command, it was actually mainly composed of members of the Wei Dynasty's royal family.

Without his support, most of the Chen family's collateral branches would probably just be holding idle positions and coasting along in the Tai'an Army.

Besides the Tai'an Army, Chen Yi also took half a day to bring Lin Xueru and others back to the Taixu Dao Sect.

During this time, he visited several elders of the sect, namely Gu Tiangang and others.

The status and situation of the ancient Taoist on Taixu Peak are much better than before.

This was not only because he had toned down his playful nature, but also because Lin Xueru was now the number one prodigy on the Tianyuan Continent, which led to the recent batch of...

He gave pointers to his fellow disciples on Jianfeng Mountain and chatted with Xie Changle and others about the situation on Jianfeng Mountain.

Speaking of this Senior Brother Chang Le, he has indeed worked much harder on his sword cultivation since returning from the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm.

Now, not only has his cultivation reached the upper level of the fourth rank, but his swordsmanship is also about to break through to the Tongyou realm, which is considered a rapid advancement.

However, due to his age, it is impossible for him to go to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield again in this lifetime.

After traveling for half a day, stopping and starting, Chen Yi led Lin Xueru and the others back to Kyoto Prefecture.

"Greetings, Prince Tai'an!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty..."

As soon as they entered the imperial city, the black-armored guards on both sides knelt down and saluted.

Chen Yi walked calmly to the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This was not a grand occasion for the imperial court, nor was it a military expedition. It was merely a journey from the Tianyuan Continent to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield. Therefore, he was still wearing the Taoist robe of the Taixu Dao Sect, with the Spring Rain Sword hanging at his waist.

That's quite low-key.

At this moment, no one in the imperial city could ignore his presence.

Even the Emperor of Wei could not.

Early in the morning, Emperor Wei, accompanied by the Ninth Prince, the Old Taoist of Huangshan, and the Grand Master, arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony to wait.

Lin Xueru and others have also arrived.

Aside from the top ten prodigies and a hundred young talents whose cultivation had reached the level required to go to the Tai Zhou Mountain battlefield, there were also people from the Western Buddhist Kingdom, the Eastern Islands, and the Southern Barbarian Sect.

A large group of people surrounded the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Chen Yi glanced around, greeted Lin Xueru and the others, and then slipped to Wei Huang's side.

"Prince Tai'an, I entrust these people to you. You must bring them to Mount Taizhou safe and sound."

Chen Yi secretly pursed his lips, but verbally agreed.

The old Taoist priest from Huangshan, still with his old temper, asked, "Ancestor, does the bet you made with me still stand?"

Chen Yi's gaze then fell on the Flower Fairy, and he nodded with a smile: "Of course it counts."

"If you lose, don't deny it."

"The old Taoist priest is unlikely to lose."

Chen Yi ignored him. Whether the Flower Fairy or Lin Xueru won the bet, it would be beneficial for both of them.

At this moment, the old man looked at the group of geniuses below and pondered, "I will also go to the Tai Zhou Mountain battlefield in a few years. I just hope that the situation there will be the same as it is now."

Chen Yi glanced at him, "Does the eldest master no longer need to go out and work for the Confucian academy?"

During this period, under the influence of his mental perception, he gained a good understanding of the situation in the seventeen prefectures of the Wei Dynasty.

There are only two major changes.

Firstly, most of the Buddhist monasteries and temples in various prefectures and cities have been demolished. What remains are mostly Buddhist halls built by aristocratic families for their elders to use for worship.

Secondly, there are newly built schools and academies in various prefectures, counties, towns, and even multiple villages.

Following his previous advice, Emperor Wei, Xie Jing, and Master Da, among others, did a very thorough job.

The lower grades of the school are taught the basics of Confucianism, Taoism, and martial arts, as well as some basic Taoist techniques and Qimen Dunjia methods.

When the old man Lin Zhongke heard Chen Yi's words, he smiled and said, "Now that I don't need to preside over it, the Wei Dynasty has settled down."

"Besides, with His Majesty and the Left Prime Minister around, I have nothing to worry about."

At this point, the elder paused, then transmitted his voice, "I heard that Cui Sheng is about to head to that realm?"

Chen Yi replied silently, "Second Master does indeed have this plan. Is your trip there related to this?"

"Yes and no. Since Cui Sheng is not staying with the human race, there is one less Confucian sage there, and I have no choice but to go and guard him."

"Furthermore, the Wei Dynasty is currently in a stable situation. As long as we recuperate, our strength can steadily increase. If I don't go to Taizhou Mountain soon, my strength may stop here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi understood and stopped teasing him. "If you can go to Tai Zhou Mountain, I believe you will soon become another ancestor of the human race."

He was quite familiar with the great man's talent.

If it weren't for the planning of "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" over the past few hundred years, the Great Master would have gone to the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain long ago, and his strength would not be what it is now.

I reckon he could be at the seventh or eighth level of supernatural powers.

After exchanging a few casual words, seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yi decided not to wait any longer. He greeted Chen Taiping and Lin Hansong, who were watching from the sidelines, with a smile, and then waved his hand to use his "Close to the World" divine power to envelop all the geniuses.

Take one step.

The group then went directly from the Imperial City of Kyoto to the ferry crossing in Beizhili.

"This……"

Some people hadn't even realized what was happening yet, and some were still busy saying goodbye to their families and elders.

Suddenly, everything blurred before my eyes, and I was in another place.

"As expected of our human ancestor, his supernatural powers are such. How many years of cultivation would it take me to catch up with him?"

"Let alone catching up, I would be very satisfied if I could have the cultivation level of Ancestor Chen Yi before he went to the Tai Zhou Mountain battlefield."

At this point, everyone stopped worrying and quickly calmed down.

Guided by Chen Yi, they arrived at the sailboat one by one.

After everyone had boarded, Chen Yi was about to announce the departure of the ship when he suddenly remembered something, and his figure disappeared again.

He returned after only three breaths.

This time, however, he was accompanied by a woman dressed in very revealing clothing.

It was none other than Wenren Ying, the demoness who had been entrusted by Chen Yi to protect Lin Xueru, the Flower Fairy, and others.

She seemed oblivious to the changed surroundings, still grumbling with a hint of resentment:
"I thought you had forgotten about me, sir!"

"You promised me a reward if I completed the task, but I've been waiting and waiting and it hasn't come. It's really making me sad."

"My lord, you must make amends to me properly~"

As she spoke, Wenren Ying was about to cling to Chen Yi.

Just then, Lin Xueru arrived first, stood beside Chen Yi, and stared at the enchantress, asking:
"Brother Yi, who is this...?"

Wenren Ying seemed to only then realize something was amiss. She quickly took a step back, glanced at Lin Xueru, then at the people around her, and immediately bowed with a charming smile:

"This humble servant, Wenren Ying, greets Fairy Xue Ru and everyone~"

Chen Yi glared at her, smiled, and waved for everyone to board the ship first before explaining:

“When I went to Taizhou Mountain before, I was worried about your safety, so I asked her to protect you for a while.”

Lin Xueru understood, and a smile appeared on her face: "Oh, so it's Wenren... Sister."

"This humble servant dares not accept such praise—sir, you will blame me!"

Well, I should have just left her on the Tianyuan Continent.
