Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Yao Ye had secretly slipped out of the palace because he could not stand Jia Xingtian's silence on the affairs of the snake people, and wanted to find a way to resolve the matter.

I thought that as long as I told Xiao Wei the information I knew, the current problems would be solved.

Now it seems that I was too naive.

In the end, all the risking of his life and bringing Qinglin along on this trip had no effect at all.

Thinking of this, Yao Ye's mood couldn't help but fall.

Xiao Wei naturally noticed Yao Ye's inner depression and smiled slightly.

"Don't be so disappointed, Your Highness Yaoye. Your information is indeed of great help to me. It makes me more certain that my previous guess is correct. Besides this point..."

As Xiao Jing spoke, he looked at Qing Lin lying on the bed. Yao Ye also saw the tenderness and peace of mind in Xiao Jing's eyes.

"Whether it's me meeting Qinglin or Qinglin meeting me, we both feel more at ease. For this alone, I am very grateful to you."

After hearing what Xiao Wei said, Yao Ye felt a little better.

Then his face suddenly turned bitter, and he lowered his head and spoke slowly under Xiao Ji's puzzled gaze.

"I'm sorry about your brother."

"I could have told him what I knew directly, but because of his engagement with Nalan Yanran, I became suspicious of him and kept putting it off until the end."

"By the time I wanted to say it, there was no chance."

"If I had spoken up sooner, we could have come straight here to you and he wouldn't have been sacrificed."

“I’m so sorry.”

Yao Ye's words made Xiao Wei slightly stunned, and then a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

Ah~ I see.

Qinglin and Yaoye followed Xiao Yan to the territory of the snake people.

But in this case, Qing Lin and Xiao Yan would come to the snake people’s territory, which should be agreed by Xiao Li.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

She knew her sister's character too well. If something happened to Xiao Yan, Xiao Li would definitely think that she was the one who killed Xiao Yan.

Xiao Li has probably lost his mind now.

I have a headache.

Xiao Wei lightly circled the ends of his hair with his index finger and looked towards Yao Ye, his eyes flickering slightly.

The eldest princess of the royal family was truly saddened by Xiao Yan's passing.

Xiao Ji had heard that in order to train the eldest princess, the Gama royal family let her lead an army early on to hone the future Queen.

Under such circumstances, Yao Ye should not feel too much sadness or self-blame for the death of a person who has nothing to do with him.

She should be used to seeing victims.

But now she was so sincere and felt guilty for Xiao Yan's sacrifice.

It was obvious that the two of them had only been together for a few days.

This is Yan'er's infectiousness.

Xiao Wei felt a sense of emotion for his younger brother.

I dare not say it for the whole continent, but at least Xiao Jing can pat her chest and be sure that among all the people she has met so far, no one can be as upright as Xiao Yan, including herself.

That integrity destined Xiao Yan to lose far more than he gained.

Not many people can willingly accept damage to their own interests.

Xiao Ji's way of life is to firmly believe in the correctness of his own path, and then use all means to reach the end.

But Xiao Yan is different. While he firmly believes in the correctness of his path, he does not resort to any means that are even slightly despicable. He faces the difficulties that stand before him head-on and defeats them head-on.

In Xiao Wei's opinion, Xiao Yan might be a little stupid.

There were obviously other ways, obviously easier ways, but Xiao Yan never used them.

But precisely because of this, Xiao Yan's influence on the people around him is something that Xiao Yi can never achieve.

This kind of pure integrity is rare in the entire continent!

Be upright and have no regrets!

Xiao Yu was sure that in the future, if Xiao Yan really succeeded.

No one can use any event in his life experience as a moral stain to ridicule him!

Looking at Yao Ye who had a sad expression in front of him, Xiao Wei glanced towards the door and looked at the faintly flashing red seal.

It shouldn't matter if I say it out loud, since Yaoye can't get out anyway.

After confirming this, Xiao Ji looked at Yao Ye and was about to say something when he noticed some movement coming from the bed.

Turning my head, I saw Qinglin, who was lying on the bed, slowly sitting up by supporting himself with the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes with his little hands.

"Qinglin, are you awake?"

"Eh? Captain Xiao Jing?" Qing Lin stared blankly at Xiao Jing who was walking towards her, tears welling up in her eyes again, "Am I dreaming?"

"Alright, alright~ If you keep crying, Xiao Qinglin will turn into a little cat~"

Xiao Wei bent down slightly, reached out his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Qinglin's eyes, then reached out and picked Qinglin up from the bed.

Feeling this warm embrace, Qinglin's heart gradually calmed down.

But then she remembered something, and sadness immediately appeared on her face. She reached out and gently grasped Xiao Wei's collar.

"Captain Xiao Jing. Young Master Xiao Yan."

"Don't be sad, that's what I was going to say."

Xiao Wei interrupted Qing Lin's words softly, held her back to her seat while Qing Lin was looking at him with doubt, and said solemnly to Yao Ye.

"Your Highness Yaoye, Yan'er should still be alive."

"Still alive?!"

"Master Xiao Yan is not dead?!"

When Xiao Ji said this, Yao Ye and Qing Lin were both shocked, with anxiety written all over their faces.

“But that report.”

Yao Ye was halfway through his words when he suddenly froze, as if he understood something. Xiao Yi then chuckled.

"Let's not talk about Yan'er for now. Yue Mei is the leader of the snake people. The leaders of Yinshi and others have seriously exceeded their authority by executing her privately without the permission of Her Majesty the Queen. If they don't leave a complete body, it will only chill the hearts of all the snake people if the news gets out. The leader of Yinshi knows this better than anyone else."

When Xiao Wei said this, Yao Ye suddenly reacted.

The report says that no body is found. The word "no body" is the fact that everyone sees now, but what about the body?

Is it true that there is no body left?

Or is there no body at all?

"But, if that's the case, why would the leader of the underworld do this?"

Yao Ye's eyes were full of doubts, and Xiao Yi replied indifferently.

"There are people in the Jia Ma Empire who stir up trouble for their own benefit, and there are naturally some in the Snake People as well." Xiao Jing said, narrowing his eyes slightly with a hint of hostility. "I had my suspicions when those unknown people first attacked the Snake People tribe, but after the Snake People raised their guard and launched several attacks in succession without any attackers being caught by the Snake People, I was convinced."

"There are spies among the snake people as well."

"In the final analysis, the high-end combat power that the snake people can mobilize, apart from Her Majesty the Queen who is currently in seclusion, is only the eight chiefs. As for the rest, those unknown people can handle them."

"So the spy only needs to tell the other party the location of the eight chiefs at any time, so as to avoid encountering the eight chiefs and select those tribes that are far away from the eight chiefs to launch attacks."

After hearing Xiao Wei's words, Yao Ye suddenly understood.

Yes. That's it!

If Xiao Yan hadn't suddenly barged in yesterday, those white-clothed men would have immediately evacuated after the massacre! They wouldn't have encountered Mobas at all!

Once or twice, it can be considered a coincidence.

But it has happened so many times in a row, someone must have secretly reported it!

"In this case, Xiao Yan is still alive! He is not dead!"

Yao Ye's eyes were full of excitement, but Xiao Yi frowned and spoke slowly after a while.

"maybe."

"What I just said is that Yan'er [should] still be alive."

"As for whether he is really still alive, I am not sure, and the leader of the underworld has not revealed the truth to me."

Yao Ye was stunned again, staring at Xiao Wei blankly.

"Then you still."

"Since Yan'er has not been confirmed dead, I will continue to do what I should do and not let my emotions interfere with my judgment." Xiao Yu said in a low voice, "After everything is over, if Yan'er is still alive, that would be the best."

"But if Yan'er is really dead, then..."

Xiao Wei's gentle eyes were suddenly filled with murderous intent.

"I will settle accounts with those who killed Yan'er one by one, even if it means destroying the peace that has just been established between humans and the snake people."

"No one, don't try to stop me."

Xiao Wei's tone was so calm.

It's so heartless again

Chapter 175 Close Friend

In Mocheng, a beautiful woman dressed as a nobleman walked in the city, holding a folding fan in one hand and the report of the snake people this morning in the other.

This person was Yunying, who had parted with Xiao Yan in Shimo City.

"No body left?"

With just a glance, Yunying saw the clues in this report.

Putting aside other factors, Xiao Yan has a nine-star Dou Huang protecting him, so there is no way he could die here.

The next second, Yunying understood why Yinshi published such a report.

Then, his expression became indifferent and his tone revealed a hint of disappointment.

"I thought the only advantage of the snake people, a half-human, half-animal race, was their unity. Now it seems that this advantage has disappeared."

Although the tone was so disappointed, if someone else heard this, they would be able to clearly feel how casual Yunying's disappointed words were.

It is obvious that Yunying doesn't care at all whether the snake people are united or not.

Not to mention the tiny snake people, even all the countries in the northwest corner of the continent combined are not worth Yunying's attention.

Even the Gama Empire, which the snake people have always feared, is nothing more than dust that Yunying can wipe out with a wave of her hand.

In this whole incident, there was only one reason that interested Yunying and even made her come to the desert city of the Gama Empire.

That is, Xiao Yan.

Yunying raised her eyebrows slightly, and the report in her hand suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He slightly opened the folding fan in his hand to cover his mouth, with a complicated look in his eyes.

After parting with Xiao Yan, she ordered her men to investigate all of Xiao Yan's past deeds.

The final result was exactly the same as what Xiao Yan had told him before.

Xiao Yan truly has been upholding that integrity that seems extremely foolish to ordinary people until today.

After confirming that Xiao Yan was not lying, Yunying, who was already interested in Xiao Yan, became even more curious.

He is not a hypocrite, nor is he one of those ignorant and self-righteous people.

Xiao Yan was truly walking on his righteous path wholeheartedly and doing his best, and he reminded himself all the time that if he strayed from the right path in the slightest, he would correct it immediately.

At this moment, Yunying couldn't help but reflect on herself.

We thought we had lived for thousands of years and had seen all kinds of things and people.
