Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Senior Yao, can I sell this?"

"Sell?" Yao Chen was stunned at first, but then he immediately understood. He stroked her beautiful chin and responded, "This is what we gave you. You can do with it as you please. But if you really want to sell it, you can find a batch of inferior materials. After refining it, you can still sell it, and you can make more money."

"Ah, forget about that method."

Xiao Yan smiled and rejected Yao Chen's proposal, and Yao Chen frowned slightly.

"Let's say you are such a kid, you are too..."

Yao Chen stopped talking halfway and looked at Xiao Yan's immature face.

The person who was wrong was obviously Xiao Yan.

In this continent, one should consider oneself as the primary goal. This is the correct understanding in this continent.

Compared with those who betray their friends for the sake of power, just selling shoddy products is already very humane.

But looking at Xiao Yan in front of him, Yao Chen didn't know how to scold him.

Do I, as a teacher, have to teach my disciples how to harm others to gain the greatest benefit?

The default rules do not mean they can be put on the table for discussion.

No matter how shameless something you do is, you will still consider your own face.

This is what these so-called strong people do.

"As you wish."

Finally, Yao Chen gave up trying to persuade him. After getting permission, Xiao Yan chuckled, took out a cloak from the cabinet, covered his entire body tightly, took the bottle of foundation-building spirit liquid and left the Xiao family without anyone noticing.

Xiao Yan walked through the market and came to the door of Miter Auction House. The guard immediately alerted the man with suspicious behavior and stopped Xiao Yan.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Send it."

Xiao Yan deliberately lowered his voice and said two short words.

The more you talk, the more flaws you reveal. The fewer words you say, the less risk of being exposed.

Although Xiao Yan pursues the right path, he is by no means stubborn. He is well aware of the principle of being in possession of a treasure. He does not want to bring unnecessary trouble to the Xiao family because of this, so it is necessary for him to hide his identity.

The guard looked Xiao Yan up and down and replied.

"Please wait."

He then glanced at the guard beside him. The guard nodded and entered the auction house. He came out after a while and made a gesture to Xiao Yan.

"please."

Xiao Yan followed the guards into the auction house, and then saw Ya Fei coming towards him with a bright professional smile on her face.

"Is this the gentleman who wants to send the items for auction?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ya Fei's expression changed slightly, and then she looked at the guard who brought Xiao Yan in.

"Go down."

"Eh? But..."

The guards were in a dilemma. If they let such a timid person stay alone with Ya Fei, if something really happened, they would not have enough heads to save their lives!

"This gentleman is an acquaintance of mine. There is no need to worry that he will hurt me."

The four words "My acquaintance" startled Xiao Yan suddenly, and his mind began to churn wildly.

Exposed? Exposed just like that?

It shouldn't be like this. I didn't reveal any flaws.

While Xiao Yan was constantly examining his own problems in his heart, the guards were persuaded by Ya Fei to leave, leaving only Xiao Yan and Ya Fei in the room.

"So~" Ya Fei slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Yan with a half-smile, "You came to see me so late, do you want to have a tryst with your sister? Xiao~Yan~Brother~"

Snapped!

Xiao Yan immediately slapped himself in the face.

It was exposed indeed.

Chapter 14 Only One Person

Now that Ya Fei had recognized him, there was no need for Xiao Yan to continue pretending. He reluctantly took off his hood, revealing his immature face.

"Sister Yafei, how did you recognize her?"

His figure was hidden by the cloak and could not be identified, and his voice was deliberately lowered to make it difficult to distinguish. He should have hidden himself very well, but Ya Fei recognized him on the spot.

"Hmm~ How did you recognize him~" Ya Fei smiled and came close to Xiao Yan's face, looking at his gradually red face, "Guess~"

"Sister Ya, Sister Yafei!"

As Ya Fei approached, the unique fragrance on her body almost made the innocent Xiao Yan lose himself in it. He suddenly came to his senses and moved a little distance away from Ya Fei.

Yao Chen shook his head when he saw this scene, and cursed his disciple in his heart for being so disappointing.

Since she flirted with you, you should flirt back! Why are you so cowardly? From now on, any woman you meet will not have you completely taken advantage of?

But Xiao Yan had no idea what Yao Chen was thinking. The unique fragrance of Ya Fei was still lingering around his nostrils. He seemed to understand something and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Is it in the afternoon?!"

"Although there is only a faint smell left, but my sister has a very sensitive nose~"

Ya Fei narrowed one eye slightly, causing some cold sweat to appear on Xiao Yan's face.

The smell of just a moment of contact can still be smelled after an afternoon.

"So, brother, why did you come to see your sister so late at night, and dressed like this to hide your identity? What's the matter?"

Ya Fei crossed her arms slightly, looked at Xiao Yan with a charming smile and asked.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was constantly thinking in his heart, and finally looked at Ya Fei seriously.

"Sister Yafei, can you keep what I'm going to say secret?"

"."

Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, Ya Fei put away her smile and looked at Xiao Yan quietly.

After a long while, Ya Fei's scarlet lips opened and closed, and she answered in a solemn voice.

"can."

This short word contains Yafei's full sincerity.

Ya Fei knew how to use sweet words to convince others, but she would never use such means on Xiao Yan.

Since childhood, Yafei has been taught by her grandfather to be wary of everyone, including her grandfather who taught her this point of view.

Three years ago, Ya Fei was sent to the family business in Wutan City for training. During the business dealings, she met Xiao Yan, the representative of the Xiao family who had not yet fallen on hard times. After that, they gradually became familiar with each other.

Even though Xiao Yan's fighting spirit later degenerated and he became useless, Ya Fei's impression of him did not decrease in the slightest.

After all, Ya Fei is a businessman, and although he is involved in cultivation, he does not take it too seriously.

In comparison, she valued the character of this young boy Xiao Yan more.

In just three years of acquaintance, Ya Fei realized that Xiao Yan might be the only person in the world who deserves her true love.

This young man is too upright, so upright that he doesn't seem like a person of this world.

If she used the same methods on Xiao Yan that she used on the family business, Ya Fei would definitely not be able to forgive herself.

I am not qualified to tarnish this integrity.

Therefore, to answer Xiao Yan's question, just one word from the heart is enough.

After getting Ya Fei's answer, Xiao Yan did not hesitate any longer. He took out the foundation-building spiritual liquid and handed it to Ya Fei.

"Sister Yafei, this thing is called Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid. If you dissolve it in water and soak it for cultivation, it can increase the speed of cultivating Dou Qi. I hope to put it up for auction at Miter Auction House."

Ya Fei reached out to take the foundation-building spiritual liquid, her charming eyes staring at the drop of emerald-colored liquid in the bottle, and suddenly she thought of the wood-attributed magic core that she had given to Xiao Yan in the afternoon.

"You made this?!"

Ya Fei approached Xiao Yan's face with shining eyes, and Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and tilted his body back.

"I'm not that capable yet. I just met an alchemist recently and he accepted me as his apprentice. I also asked for the teacher's consent before I auctioned this foundation-building spirit liquid."

Accepted as an apprentice by a pharmacist? !

Ya Fei was shocked for a moment, then came to her senses and pointed at the bottle of foundation-building spiritual liquid in her hand.

"Shouldn't you keep this thing for yourself? Why are you auctioning it?"

"That, that is because..." Xiao Yan was embarrassed when asked by Ya Fei. He scratched his face and replied, "I am short of money."

"."

Ya Fei was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha~ My dear brother~ Not only is he the son of the head of the Xiao family, he was also accepted as an apprentice by the pharmacist. But he ended up selling the pills that he was supposed to use himself because he was short of money. It's too unbelievable to tell others about this, right?"

Although she said so, Ya Fei had no reason to doubt Xiao Yan at all.

Because he is so upright that he would never tell a lie.

With Xiao Yan's personality, he would definitely not ask his father for money for his personal matters, even if Xiao Zhan was willing.

As for if you are still short of money after being accepted as an apprentice by the alchemist, there are only two possibilities.

First, the teacher Xiao Yan worshipped was very stingy, so stingy that he was unwilling to pay for his disciple to buy materials.

But if this is the case, then this teacher would not allow Xiao Yan to sell the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, so the first possibility is unlikely.

In this case, there is only the second possibility.

That means the teacher Xiao Yan worshipped was really poor and didn't have a single gold coin on him.

But this shocked Ya Fei.

Alchemist is definitely not a profession that lacks money. Even the lowest-level elixir will have people scrambling to buy it.

But a pharmacist can be without money.

High-level elixirs cannot be measured by money, so most of them are exchanged for goods.

This means that a high-level alchemist may not have money, but he or she will definitely have countless rare treasures!

Could it be that the alchemist who accepted Xiao Yan as his apprentice is of this level?

Although she had such doubts in her heart, Ya Fei did not ask.

She is a very smart woman and she knows clearly what to ask and what not to ask.

"I understand. I'll take the things first." Ya Fei put away the foundation-building spirit liquid, looked at Xiao Yan and smiled softly, "I'll ask Uncle Gu Ni to identify it when he comes tomorrow."

"Sorry to bother you, Sister Yafei."

As Xiao Yan was about to clasp his fists in greeting, he noticed Ya Fei's slightly displeased expression and quickly withdrew his hand.

Seeing Xiao Yan retract his hand, Ya Fei nodded with satisfaction, and then the charming smile appeared on her face again.

"Now that we have finished discussing the serious matters, would you like to go to your sister's room?"

"Farewell!"

Before Ya Fei finished speaking, Xiao Yan, sweating profusely, pulled on his cloak and fled the room, not daring to stay for a moment.

Although he is still a minor, he is still a man after all. When staying with Ya Fei, such a charming beauty, Xiao Yan really can't guarantee that he will not make any mistakes.

Looking at Xiao Yan fleeing in panic, Ya Fei couldn't help but feel amused.

"Why are you running? I won't eat you." As soon as she said this, Ya Fei paused for a moment, then smiled meaningfully, "That's not necessarily true~"

Chapter 15 Huge Profits

At the Xiao family training ground in Wutan City, Xiao Yan was supervising the training of the Xiao family members as he did in the past.

The day after he sent the foundation-building spiritual liquid to Ya Fei, Ya Fei found Xiao Yan and said with a serious face.

"After Uncle Gu Ni's appraisal, the bottle of foundation-building spirit liquid you gave me was of extremely high quality. It is not something that this small city of Wutan can consume."
