MTLNOVEL Chapter 321: Don't Overuse Methods of Subjugation!
They are fully aware of Zhou Family's actions, but for some reason, they choose to ignore them.
In contrast, Emperor Wei is watching the tigers fight from the mountain, while Prince Zhenbei?
Hehehe... He is intentionally weakening the influence of his Marquis subordinates to ensure the stability of his position as Prince Zhenbei.
"So what are you planning to do?"
"Second Uncle, I don't like getting involved in all those twists and turns of the Imperial Court. As long as they don't provoke me, don't provoke the Chen Family or Lin Family, they can do whatever they want."
Saying this, Chen Yi turned to walk towards Chunhe Garden, "Please instruct the others that I will be in seclusion for training these days and won't receive any guests."
"..."
Watching him leave, Chen Taixing pondered deeply, and after realizing something, he couldn't help but curse under his breath, quickly running to discuss with the Second Young Master, Third Young Master, and other elders.
Indeed, there isn't a single easy target among the aristocratic families passed down for a thousand years here in Kyoto Prefecture.
Not mentioning Chen Taixing and the Chen Family's discussions on their family's future plans, Chen Yi walked slowly to the outside of Chunhe Garden and immediately saw Hua Youxiang crying in the courtyard.
"Waa!"
"Sis, my reputation is ruined..."
Looking at her tear-stained pear blossom face, Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh, feeling unexpectedly uplifted.
The reason Erhua cried was related to the grand event.
After the second round ended.
Aside from Jiang Ye, Hua Youxiang, who also passed the trial, became well-known among many Jianghu Guests, and along with her frequent nickname "Erhua," became widely spread.
Firstly, she came from a prestigious family, being a talented young woman of the Grand Void Sect and from the same lineage as Chen Yi on Sword Edge Mountain. Just these two points alone made Jianghu Guests feel more connected to her than to Kyoto Academy's Jiang Ye.
Moreover, after stepping out of the Thousand Mechanism Tower, she took out that Small Wooden Sword and cursed Huangshan Taoist, causing Jianghu Guests who heard the news and storytellers to laugh, thus giving her an even more courageous nickname — "Little Chili Pepper" Hua Youxiang.
So,
Erhua, who received the nickname "Little Chili Pepper," cried so much that she soaked the Daoist robe of the nearby Hua Xianzi with tears and snot.
"Sis, I don't want the nickname 'Little Chili Pepper,' it's too awful!"
"Why are they doing this, calling me 'Erhua' is so much better, why do they have to call me 'Little Chili Pepper'?"
"If Dad and Mom and the family find out, they'd laugh at me until I die!"
"..."
Hua Xianzi, unable to help but laugh, patted her shoulder. Seeing her cry so sadly, she momentarily didn't know how to comfort her.
After pondering for a moment, she gently said:
"You Xiang, did you forget the reputation of the girls from Chuan Mansion? Little Chili Pepper is quite nice."
"Huh? Is it nice?" Hua Youxiang had entered the Grand Void Sect when she was young and hadn't really learned about this.
"Yes," Hua Xianzi's beautiful face showed a hint of oddity, suppressing her laughter while comforting:
"In our hometown, the girls are mostly called 'Little Chili Pepper,' so the nickname the Jianghu gave you is quite good."
"Is that so..."
Hua Youxiang suddenly wiped away her tears, raising her head, and said with a grin:
"I just knew it couldn't be because I cursed Huangshan Taoist, otherwise those Jianghu Guests would be too unkind."
"Erhua, Little Chili Pepper, Erhua, Little Chili Pepper hehe... Sis, it sounds kind of nice..."
"..."
Seeing her smile again, Hua Xianzi helplessly wiped her tear stains, "Crying one minute, laughing the next, you've become a big flower face."
"No, I haven't..."
Before Hua Youxiang could refute, laughter was heard from the side: "How have you not?"
"Ah, Brother Chen?"
Hua Youxiang blushed red and buried her head in Hua Xianzi's embrace, "Even you are making fun of me..."
Chen Yi laughed, joking: "Now you're the famous 'Little Chili Pepper' in the Martial World, I dare not laugh at you."
"You're still saying... My sister says, 'Little Chili Pepper' is good, over there in Chuan Mansion, that's how they describe girls."
"Oh?"
Chen Yi, smiling knowingly, looked at Hua Xianzi, seeing her discreetly wave her hand, he understood her intention and played along:
"That's actually quite fitting, given your fiery temperament."
"Ah?"
Seeing Erhua's dumbfounded expression, Chen Yi and Hua Xianzi couldn't resist laughing, unclear whether it was teasing or because they deceived her.
"You guys... are too bad!"
After laughing, Chen Yi waved to them and said: "You rest here for now, I'm going out for a while."
"Where is Brother going? Can I, can I go with you?" Hua Xianzi asked boldly.
Chen Yi thought for a moment and nodded: "You can come along, I happen to be visiting Ten Thousand Mountains, take you to see the scenery there."
"Okay." Hua Xianzi didn't care about the destination, even though Ten Thousand Mountains is the land of the Demon Court, as long as she's with Chen Yi, she's willing.
"Ah? I'm going too!" Erhua reacted, shouting.
"You? Stay at home, Little Chili Pepper haha..."
