I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 2 - What ill intentions could a child have?

"Yi Er, Yi Er?"

Xia Wanwan saw Chen Yi's complexion looking awful, and couldn't help but become anxious.

Interrupted by this, Chen Yi could not afford to ponder any longer, and quickly grabbed her collar to reveal a smiling face.

Damn, I accidentally called out loud.

"You're going to scare your mother to death."

Xia Wanwan turned worry into joy, pressing her forehead affectionately against his.

"Wan Wan sister, are you here?"

At this moment, a beautiful woman dressed in brocade and holding a baby walked over.

Xia Wanwan, holding Chen Yi, rose to greet her, "Sister Wan Yi."

Chen Yi looked at the newcomer without any expression.

This person was Zhou Wanyi, the wife of the master of the Marquis Mansion, and also the prime suspect in his poisoning plot.

"We sisters shouldn't be so formal,"

Zhou Wanyi held onto Xia Wanwan, with a look of concern, "I heard your voice sounding anxious just now, did something happen to Yi Er?"

Xia Wanwan hesitated, "Yi Er might be hungry..."

"Hungry? That won't do! Being hungry during the Zhuazhou ritual makes it easy for Yi Er to choose the food items."

"Then, then I'll go find a wet nurse to feed Yi Er some."

"There's no time," Zhou Wanyi took a small bag out of her brocade clothing and handed it to her:

"I just happen to have some pastries prepared for Yuan Er, let Yi Er eat some."

"This..."

"Don't decline, if we delay any further, the ceremony is about to start."

Xia Wanwan had no choice but to once again accept her favor, lowering her head and speaking obediently, "Thank you, Sister Wan Yi."

"All right, you go take care of Yi Er, I'll go find my husband."

"Sister, take care."

After the person left, Xia Wanwan quickly tore off a small piece of cake and carefully fed it into Chen Yi's mouth.

"Yi Er, be good, eat a little, and you won't be hungry anymore."

Chen Yi hesitated for a few seconds, then swallowed the pastry. He wasn't worried about the pastry being poisoned, as the panel had already tipped him off that he could absorb any poison.

It was because he had figured out the whole sequence of events—Zhou Wanyi, to make him choose food items during the ceremony, really went to great lengths!

She first fed him a "Gluttony Pill" through his father's hand, and then she prepared the pastries in advance to prevent any oddities in Chen Yi from being noticed.

If it wasn't for Chen Yi's memories from his past life, probably everyone would be fooled by her.

Just like Xia Wanwan who, having been sold by her, still remembered her kindness.

At this thought, Chen Yi began to feel annoyed.

"Since you wish to ruin my Zhuazhou, then I'll just go and ruin Chen Yuan's, since that brat won't care about his brother when he grows up..."

Wait, grows up?

Chen Yi had a flash of insight and quickly looked at the screen.

"Right now I am one year old, and so is Chen Yuan."

"If I can't defeat the Sixth Grade Chen Yuan, can't I still defeat him now?"

Thinking this, Chen Yi couldn't help but clench his small fist and wave it twice; this must be the correct way to use the Overturning System!

Xia Wanwan saw his behavior and laughed while tidying up his clothes.

"During the Zhuazhou ceremony, you can't be so restless, or your dad will spank you."

Chen Yi grinned and smiled.

Just wait and see, I most certainly won't make a fuss... yeah right!

...

Approaching noon, the guests attending the ceremony sat around in the main hall, even Prince Zhenbei of Great Wei came in person.

In the center of the hall, which was carpeted with cloud and crane patterns, eight small tables had already been set up, each table with a tray carved from white jade.

And within the trays, there were items for Zhuazhou, including knives, swords, seals, brushes, abaci, books, scissors, and handkerchiefs.

There were also four dishes placed on the ground, filled with chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Only at this moment did Chen Yi realize.

Originally, the Zhuazhou items have been enshrined in the ancestral hall, consecrated by the heroic spirits of the Chen Family through the generations, each holding a unique power.

Such as knives and swords, mainly enhancing the physical talent for weapons.

Seals would make one precociously intelligent, enhancing memory and understanding of literature.

Other Zhuazhou items like the scissors, handkerchief, abacus, etc., also had their remarkable effects.

As for those plates of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, though appetizing in appearance, they were the least useful among all Zhuazhou items.

No wonder the children who picked the food would invite scornful laughter from others.

"Marquis, the auspicious time has arrived."

At this moment, the steward came forward to remind.

Duke Wuan Chen Taiping immediately raised his cup and said:

"Today we hold the Zhuazhou ceremony for Yuan Er and Yi Er, may our ancestors bless them to ensure the descendants of our Chen Family do not tarnish the honor of our ancestors..."

After a lengthy speech, he gestured to Zhou Wanyi and Xia Wanwan, "Let Yuan Er and Yi Er begin the Zhuazhou."

"Yes."

Zhou Wanyi stepped forward first to place Chen Yuan at the center of the Zhuazhou items and then promptly returned to the main table.

After she returned, Xia Wanwan carefully put down Chen Yi.

Chen Yi gave her a reassuring smile, telling her not to worry.

Xia Wanwan smiled back, touched his cheek, and then slowly stepped back from the ceremony area.

"Everyone please wait for a moment, and witness this for Yuan Er and Yi Er."

Chen Taiping announced once both sons were situated at the center of the ceremony.

At this moment, even as Duke Wuan, he felt a bit nervous.

The longer the heritage of a family, the more importance was placed on the Zhuazhou ceremony.

This was not only because of the enhancement the Zhuazhou items provided for the descendants, but it also represented the orderly succession of the family.

When the surroundings quieted down, Chen Yuan moved first.

He looked around, his eyes locked on the small and shiny knives and swords.

Then he changed from sitting to lying prone, moving his hands and feet together as he shuffled over.

Though not quick, it was enough to bring smiles to the faces of the attending guests.

"Mr. Yuan really sets his eyes straight on it."

"Indeed, he has the exceptional Martial Arts talent of the Chen bloodline."

"Now it all depends on Young Master Yi..."

Even Chen Taiping nodded slightly, his heart finally settling down.

Zhou Wanyi, though, remained unfazed and just smiled as she watched Chen Yuan.

Only Xia Wanwan was a bit anxious. Why hasn't Yi Er made his move yet?

Soon, as Xiao Chenyuan got closer and closer to grabbing the Jade Sword, everyone's eyes were drawn to him.

"It's stable!"

"Just two more steps and Mr. Yuan will have the Jade Sword!"

Some even congratulated the Marquis directly: "Congratulations, Marquis, congratulations!"

Chen Taiping responded with an indifferent smile: "Yuan Er seems to enjoy practicing the sword."

It was not until then that a glow appeared on Zhou Wanyi's face, and she said with a smile:

"My husband, Yuan Er is just lucky; we still have to see Yi Er..."

Before she could finish, Xia Wanwan exclaimed joyfully, "Yi Er has moved!"

Hearing this, Zhou Wanyi paused and turned to look at the center of the arena, her pupils shrinking slightly.

...

At this moment, Chen Yi crawled straight towards Chen Yuan, using both hands and feet.

The reason he hadn't moved before was to wait for this moment—when Chen Yuan was about to grab the ceremonial object, and Zhou Wanyi showed a smile!

Originally.

After traversing to this place, all Chen Yi thought about was growing up quickly and living as a carefree member of the nobility.

He had never contemplated competing in Martial Arts or vying for the family property with his elder brother.

But today, he realized that while he didn't seek to harm his family members, they were intent on harming him.

Well, no choice then!

"If you want to harm me, then I wouldn't mind letting you experience what 'cruelty' is!"

With this mindset, Chen Yi's movements were fast and steady.

Before Chen Yuan could grasp the Jade Sword, Chen Yi pulled him away and, taking advantage of the momentum, kicked him in the face.

Take that and go play!

Thrown by the kick, Chen Yuan tumbled over and sat down on the ground, his little face full of bewilderment.

"This..."

The crowd looked at each other in dismay; they had seen many ceremonies but had never witnessed such an accident before.

"He, I, uh, why did Young Master Yi do that to Mr. Yuan..."

"Silence!"

At the main table, the family of Duke Wuan also frowned.

Zhou Wanyi's face lost its smile as her eyes fixed on Chen Yi.

Xia Wanwan was embarrassed, wanting to explain for Chen Yi but not knowing how to speak, so she looked helplessly toward Chen Taiping.

"Let's see, the ceremony hasn't ended yet."

Although Chen Taiping was also taken aback by the scene, he was somewhat consoled because both of his sons aimed for the Jade Sword.

However, his consolation soon vanished completely.

Chen Yi didn't stop after seizing the Jade Sword, but turned around and continued to crawl towards Chen Yuan.

He hadn't forgotten that he still had a mission to complete.

Since his previous action of snatching the ceremonial object was already a defiance of the heavens, one more wouldn't make a difference.

"Gyaa."

"Aaah."

And so, the two children tangled and rolled together, crying out.

Chen Yi swung his little fists wildly, poking with the Jade Sword into any soft flesh he could find.

Chen Yuan was helpless and could only passively resist.

Soon, he was beaten into crying out loud, admitting defeat.

[Mission Complete, Reward: Introduction to Sword Dao]

[Please find a quiet place to receive]

Glancing at the content on the light screen, Chen Yi thought to himself, sure enough, the Overturning System could be used like this.

"Husband, quick, make Yi Er stop!"

By now, Zhou Wanyi could no longer hold back and spoke up.

Chen Taiping gave a wry smile and shook his head; no one was allowed to intervene during the ceremony.

It wasn't a family rule, but the decree of heaven.

Zhou Wanyi then looked towards Xia Wanwan urgently and said:

"Sister Wan Wan, you, you must make Yi Er stop; Yuan Er's ceremony must not be disrupted."

Xia Wanwan already felt somewhat guilty and naturally agreed, calling to Chen Yi: "Yi Er, be good and let go of your brother."

Hearing the voice, Chen Yi's pure eyes looked towards Xia Wanwan at the main table.

He wasn't worried about being discovered or blamed.

After all, what bad intentions could a child have? He was just "playing" around.

"Come here to mama."

Chen Yi smiled but did not go over; instead, he crawled to the other side and tore off a chicken leg.

Then, in the face of everyone's ghostly expressions, he stuffed the chicken leg directly into Chen Yuan's hand and even pretentiously wiped away his brother's tears.

His actions seemed to tell everyone:

See, I didn't make Brother Yuan cry; he was just hungry.

Otherwise, why would he stop crying the moment he got a chicken leg?

"Sss—"

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Mr. Yuan took the chicken leg; doesn't that mean the ceremony is over?"

"It's over, and it was Young Master Yi who personally handed the chicken leg to Mr. Yuan; I'm afraid the Marquis..."

Even Prince Zhenbei, who had been observing silently, was drawn to Chen Yi's audacity and chuckled to himself.

"Taiping, your second son seems to have more prospects than you, the father."

"There may be headaches for you in the future."

Hearing the guests' comments, Chen Taiping opened his mouth wanting to laugh but couldn't, wanting to be annoyed but knowing it was inappropriate.

Only after a long while did he manage to squeeze out a smile and declare: "Today's ceremony is concluded!"

It wasn't until then that Chen Yi blinked his eyes towards Zhou Wanyi, who looked displeased, with a face of pure innocence.

Auntie, you must be quite satisfied with this outcome, right?
