I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 138 - 101: The 4th Counterattack Mission (Please Subscribe) _2

Several people gathered and threw snowballs at Hua Youxiang.

"Hey, hey?"

"All right, you guys, see how I’ll throw them back."

Hua Youxiang was hit several times, but her face still beamed with a smile, running and crafting a large snowball in retaliation.

Everyone tacitly did not use True Yuan or movement techniques to dodge, and simply frolicked.

"Haha, Senior Sister Hua, if you don’t surrender now, don’t blame Junior Brother for not showing mercy."

"I’m not afraid, come on... Ouch, why are you all together? That’s not fair!"

Hua Youxiang, seeing the ten or so snowballs coming towards her, ran away while covering her head and quickly shouted to Chen Yi:

"Good guy, help, help..."

Good guy?

Chen Yi felt a bit dazed, it had been a long time since he heard this nickname.

Five years, or maybe ten.

At this moment, Hua Youxiang dashed towards him and hid behind him, pointing at Li Mingyue and the others to complain.

"Brother, quick, help me throw them back."

Chen Yi smiled wryly but did not refuse, joining Hua Youxiang and Li Mingyue in the snowball fight.

"Ah, Brother Chen, have mercy."

"Don’t hit me, don’t hit me."

The funniest one was Lu Youxiang, who was dressed the most conspicuously and soon became the target of everyone’s attack.

"Help, help..."

After playing for a long time, Chen Yi finally arranged his Daoist robe with a smile and greeted Ning Xue.

"Sister, I’m going to visit other peaks."

He wanted to walk around and clear up some unsettled thoughts.

"Alright."

Ning Xue watched him walk out of Sword Edge Mountain, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Something seemed a bit off about Junior Brother Chen, was she overthinking?

...

On Taixu Peak.

Lin Xueru and Xiao Xuanzhen finished practicing the Taixu Eight Skills, watching snowflakes drifting from the sky, feeling much refreshed.

"It’s snowing."

Lin Xueru, dressed in a practical pink martial arts attire, with long hair blowing in the mountain wind, smiled beautifully.

She stretched out her clean hand, letting a few snowflakes land on it.

Without waiting for the snowflakes to melt, she used the Kan Water Technique to turn them into ice, clear and sparkling.

Xiao Xuanzhen, observing her actions, voiced his suspicion: "Late winter has passed, yet it’s still snowing; it’s a bit strange."

Lin Xueru didn’t respond, continuing to smile radiantly.

"Brother Yi’s favorite thing is snow."

"I remember when we were children, whenever we visited his house during snowy days, he would always ask the teachers to hold the classes outside the annex."

"Then, we would sit around the stove, everyone holding a cup of hot tea, listening to the teachers while watching the snowflakes in the courtyard."

"Those days were really happy."

"Aren’t you happy now?" Xiao Xuanzhen asked as he looked at her.

Honestly, he envied the childhood Lin Xueru described.

Unlike him, who had lived in the Grand Void Sect since childhood, isolated on Taixu Peak with no peers around.

Though many people were around him, he knew they cared for him because of his father.

If it weren’t for Xiao Huang, his life would probably be no better than that of a True Disciple, barely more than an outer sect disciple.

Apart from practicing, he had various chores to do every day.

"I’m happy too," Lin Xueru said with a smile: "It’s just after coming here, we rarely have a chance to gather together."

"Not unwilling, but unable."

"Not only Brother Yi and I, but the others too."

"They all have their own matters, like the little princess busy studying the Qimen Lineage’s essentials, and Brother Yongnian needing to forge after his practice."

Lin Xueru said, her smile gradually fading, and her expression became a bit desolate.

She could imagine, in many years, how much harder it would be for these people to gather together.

Perhaps she and Chen Yi would be the same?

Xiao Xuanzhen listened, watching, with a thoughtful expression.

She guessed what Lin Xueru was thinking, but her mind recalled the previous question she asked her father, Xiao Huang.

"Father, why does Chen Yi not have to participate in the sect’s minor exam, yet still gets a slot?"

Xiao Huang told her that Chen Yi’s strength had far surpassed his peers within the sect, and participating in the exam would only demoralize the others.

Xiao Xuanzhen, unconvinced, asked: ’Even a demoralizing effect on me?’

To which Xiao Huang had replied: ’The more someone believes they are exceptionally talented, the more they feel that gap.’

It was then that Xiao Xuanzhen realized Chen Yi’s Sword Dao had advanced even further, reaching the Sword Heart Clarity Realm.

Beyond disbelief, she extinguished her desire to compete with Chen Yi.

Because Xiao Xuanzhen suddenly understood—Chen Yi was in a different world from her!

The gap was so vast that no matter how hard she tried, she would never catch up to Chen Yi’s level, not even to see his back.

And at this moment, Xiao Xuanzhen looked at Lin Xueru, feeling that she and Chen Yi were also not of the same world.

Perhaps in the future, due to that gap, they would become strangers.

"Sister, what do you think Chen Yi is doing right now?"

Lin Xueru thought seriously for a moment and hesitantly said:

"He might be practicing, practicing swordsmanship, or maybe enjoying the snow on the mountain."

Xiao Xuanzhen paused: "Aren’t you the one who understands him the most? Can’t you guess?"

Lin Xueru replied: "Brother Yi only does what he thinks is right and what he enjoys doing."

"And you?"

"Me," Lin Xueru looked up at the sky, her face as pellucid as the full moon with a touch of shyness: "No matter what he does, I like it all."

...

Xiao Xuanzhen pouted, her cheeks bulging significantly, and the beauty mark by her lips became very conspicuous.

She was quite displeased with this answer. What was going on?
