Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Good morning, Senior Yao~"

Seeing Yao Chen in front of him, Xiao Yan's mind was still not clear. For a moment, he couldn't remember what happened before and greeted him as usual.

Just when Xiao Yan was still confused, Yao Chen's voice came into his ears.

"Xiao Yanzi, within three years, upgrade me to Dou Wang level, and make me a sixth-grade alchemist."

"Disciple follows huh????"

Chapter 196 The Broken-Hearted Man

Given how much respect Xiao Yan has for Yao Chen, as long as Yao Chen's request does not violate his principles, Xiao Yan will accept it.

Therefore, after listening to Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan, who had just woken up, still had a unclear mind. The first thing he thought of was that it did not violate his principles, so he instinctively wanted to agree.

However, before he could finish his words, Xiao Yan suddenly woke up, and his mind was full of question marks. He looked at Yao Chen in shock, who had a serious expression.

"Three years?"

"Ah."

"Upgraded to Dou Wang level?"

"Ah."

"Plus a sixth-grade alchemist?"

"Ah."

"."

Xiao Yan was speechless and felt a little dizzy. He rubbed his eyebrows for a long time and then looked at Yao Chen and asked again.

"Senior Yao, why do you suddenly make such a request to your disciple?"

"Don't you have confidence?"

Yao Chen did not answer Xiao Yan's doubts, but asked back.

Xiao Yan crossed his arms, looking somewhat distressed.

"Confidence. I really don't have it. I am still only a Dou Shi, and my alchemy skills are only good enough to make third-grade pills. It is a bit difficult to reach Dou Wang and sixth-grade alchemist within three years..."

Xiao Yan is very self-aware.

Dreams are something that everyone has.

But Xiao Yan can distinguish what is a dream and what is reality.

If Xiao Yan could reach Dou Wang and become a sixth-grade alchemist within three years, he would naturally be willing.

However, the reality is not that simple.

Take Gu He as an example. He just reached this standard when he was around 30 years old. I am only 17 years old now. According to the time calculation, it would be difficult to achieve it, right?

"Senior Yao, did something happen to you suddenly? So you need your disciple to reach this standard within three years?"

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Chen and asked about the guess in his mind.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan really couldn't understand why Yao Chen suddenly made such a request to him.

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Chen frowned slightly and hummed for a moment.

"It's our fault, after all, it was our fault." Yao Chen then stared at Xiao Yan and said solemnly, "But the biggest reason is for you."

For myself?

Xiao Yan’s mind became even more confused. What did this mean?

"You don't need to know the specific reason now." Yao Chen interrupted Xiao Yan's thoughts and said in a serious voice: "In short, within three years, you must be promoted to Dou Wang and a sixth-grade alchemist. I will tell you the reason then."

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan scratched his face lightly, but still nodded and responded respectfully.

"Disciple will definitely try his best."

Since it was Yao Chen's request, Xiao Yan naturally would not doubt her intentions.

Disciples should trust their teachers wholeheartedly.

Yao Chen didn't intend to give the reason. She must have her considerations. All she had to consider was how to meet this requirement.

"Don't worry, we are also involved in this matter, and we will help you to the best of our ability."

Yao Chen's words made Xiao Yan feel a little more at ease.

After all, it is quite difficult to upgrade from a Dou Shi and a third-grade alchemist to a Dou Wang and a sixth-grade alchemist within three years.

Tsk. What a pity, what I said to Yun Yun just now was too full of confidence.

Yao Chen couldn't help but smack his lips.

If one could defeat a Dou Wang and a sixth-grade alchemist within three years, it would be absolutely effortless and would not even take three years.

After all, Xiao Yan's extraordinary combat power cannot be judged by the hierarchy theory.

But now that the words have been spoken, there is no room for repentance.

All I can do is try my best.

Suddenly, Yao Chen frowned and looked towards the door.

Someone is coming again?

Soon, Yao Chen returned to the ring. Just when Xiao Yan was puzzled, there was a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned.

Is it Furukawa?

(You really have to thank Gu He this time. If he hadn't offered the Blood Lotus Pill to you, and Jia Xingtian hadn't put it into your mouth, you wouldn't even have ashes left.)

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and responded at the same time.

"Please come in."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, the door was slowly opened and Gu He's figure appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

He pushed up his glasses and looked at Xiao Yan who was standing beside the bed.

"Just woke up?"

"Yes, I just woke up. Thank you for your concern, Senior Gu He." Xiao Yan smiled softly, then clasped his fists and saluted Gu He, saying in a serious voice: "Thank you, Senior Gu He, for the elixir you gave me. If not for this, I would have died in the strange fire. Xiao Yan will definitely repay you for this great favor."

Looking at Xiao Yan who was saluting him, Gu He was slightly stunned, but he did not ask how Xiao Yan knew in that situation. He raised his hand and waved it lightly.

"Don't worry about it. The Blood Lotus Pill was useless to me anyway under the circumstances. Besides, I gave it to you only for my own benefit."

“Even so, if it weren’t for your Blood Lotus Pill, I wouldn’t be able to stand here. If I don’t repay this kindness, I’ll feel uneasy.” Xiao Yan said stubbornly, “If you need anything, please let me know. As long as I can do it, I will do my best.”

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gu He paused for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled helplessly, looking at Xiao Yan through the lenses.

"That's right, I have a question for you too, can you listen?"

"Senior Furukawa, please feel free to speak."

Xiao Yan responded immediately, and then he reacted and walked to the table in the room and pulled out a chair.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, please sit down and talk."

"No need, I just want to ask one question and then I'll leave." Gu He waved his hand and refused, then stared at Xiao Yan closely, "Why do you want to save Queen Medusa?"

This is the question that Furukawa wants to know most.

He couldn't understand why Xiao Yan was willing to step into the sea of ​​fire to save Queen Medusa.

Even if you don't know how terrifying the strange fire is, you can understand it just by listening to Queen Medusa's shrill screams.

Even so, Xiao Yan still stepped in without hesitation, and even gave his Blood Lotus Pill to Queen Medusa.

He knew clearly that this action of his would most likely turn himself into ashes, but he still did it.

Gu He wanted to know why Xiao Yan did this.

This might be where I lost to him.

After listening to Gu He's question, Xiao Yan answered without thinking.

"To repay a favor."

"Repay a favor?"

Gu He raised his eyebrows, Xiao Yan nodded, and said in a serious voice.

"If Queen Medusa hadn't come to my rescue, I might have been killed by Yan Luotian. Queen Medusa was attacked by the strange fire just to save me, so I must repay this favor."

".Then, it's not your fault." Gu He paused for a while and whispered: "Even if you do nothing, no one will blame you."

What Furukawa said is correct.

It was Medusa's own choice to rescue Xiao Yan.

However, Medusa reaped the consequences of her own actions as she tried to save the other person but ended up suffering the backlash of the strange fire.

Xiao Yan didn't have to be responsible for this, and no one would blame him.

However, Xiao Yan's next words made Gu He suddenly stunned.

"No, someone will reprimand me."

"Ok?"

Gu He's expression suddenly froze, and then he saw Xiao Yan looking at him seriously.

"That is, myself."

"If at that time, I could have saved Queen Medusa and repaid her kindness, but I was afraid of death and did not dare to take action."

"I am sure that I will never forgive myself in my lifetime!"

"I want my future self to be able to face my past with dignity and a clear conscience!"

“I don’t want to regret any choice I made in the future!!!”

Looking at Xiao Yan's frank expression, Gu He was stunned where he was.

Both Xiao Yan's words and his eyes proved Xiao Yan's sincerity.

These words were absolutely from his heart, without any falsehood!

After a long time, Gu He slowly came back to his senses.

In his heart, he no longer had any hostility towards Xiao Yan.

There is a huge difference in character.

If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do the same thing as Xiao Yan.

Gu He considers himself a grateful person, but he absolutely cannot accept giving up his life in order to repay a favor.

Not even to mention his life, even if repaying the favor required sacrificing too much of his own interests, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Not only himself, but anyone compared with Xiao Yan seemed so despicable and selfish that it was impossible to look at them directly.

It is obvious that Xiao Yan is the abnormal person.

Ah.

Gu He lowered his head, pushed up his glasses, and smiled bitterly.

No wonder Yun Yun values ​​him so much.

"It's really a complete loss."

A look of relief emerged on Gu He's face, causing a question mark to appear next to Xiao Yan's head.

Lost? What lost?

Immediately, he saw Gu He turn around and walk out the door. Xiao Yan came to his senses and spoke quickly.

"Senior Gu He, I will compensate you for the Blood Lotus Pill and the other pills!"

"Let's talk about it later. I'm not in the mood now."
