Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

So, Jia Xingtian found an excuse to send Nalan Yanran away.

"Girl Yanran, General Nalan has not been feeling well these past few days. You should go back and visit him first."

"Grandpa? What happened to him?!"

Hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Nalan Yanran's face suddenly showed panic, and Jia Xingtian whispered to comfort her.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. He just felt a little uncomfortable these past two days and is resting at home. After seeing a doctor, it turned out that there was nothing wrong with him. He was probably just a little tired."

After hearing Jia Xingtian say this, Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief.

But the worries in my heart have not completely disappeared, and according to the current situation, I definitely can’t walk along this street anymore.

"Mr. Jia, Yanran will take her leave first and go home to visit her grandfather."

"Go ahead, go ahead. General Nalan has been talking about you all the time."

Jia Xingtian responded softly, Nalan Yanran nodded, then looked at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, I'm going to go home to see grandpa first, and then I'll come find you."

".Um."

Xiao Yan paused for a while, nodded slightly, and then Nalan Yanran immediately turned around and left the commercial street, running towards the Nalan family.

Looking at Nalan Yanran's departing back, Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

Although he could tell that Jia Xingtian was intentionally sending Nalan Yanran away, the reason should not be false. There might really be something wrong with Nalan Jie's body.

(Let’s visit later)

Xiao Yan made this decision in his heart. At this time, the troops that poured into the commercial street withdrew in an orderly manner under the command of Yao Ye. Jia Xingtian also raised his chin to Xiao Yan.

"Let's go. This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to chat." Then Jia Xingtian looked at Mu Zhan who was still in a daze, frowned slightly, and whispered, "I remember that you should be from the Mu family, right?"

"Yes!"

Hearing Jia Xingtian's question, Mu Zhan suddenly woke up, stood up straight in an instant, and spoke in a serious voice.

"I am Mu Zhan, the son of the head of the Mu family! It is an honor for me to be remembered by Master Jia!!!"

Jia Xingtian nodded lightly, then said softly.

"This incident seems to be caused by you, you should come along as well."

"Follow me!!!"

Mu Zhan agreed without hesitation on the surface, but his heart was trembling constantly.

It's not that I just had a day off today and went out for a walk, and I just happened to see a beautiful woman and wanted to chat her up.

It's really just a chat!

How did he suddenly become associated with Jia Lao? !

Thinking this in his heart, Mu Zhan glanced secretly at Ziyun.

What is the identity of this woman? She is actually a Douhuang? From my memory, there should be no such person in the Jiama Empire?

"Ah?" Noticing Mu Zhan's stealthy gaze, Zi Yun grinned unhappily, "Why? Do you have a problem with me?"

Mu Zhan is a great Dou Shi. No matter how hidden he is, how could he possibly hide from Zi Yun, a peak Dou Huang?

"No, no! Absolutely not!!!"

Mu Zhan shook his head frantically to deny it and raised his hands to try to prove his innocence.

Any opinions? How dare I have any opinions?! I'm so grateful that you don't have any opinions about me!

"Sister Ziyun, calm down, he really didn't mean it."

Xiao Yan laughed dryly and went forward to comfort Zi Yun. Although Mu Zhan's behavior of striking up a conversation was not a good thing, the panic he showed afterwards because he was afraid that the existence of the little lion king would implicate the people of the Jia Ma Empire was real. He even planned to find a carriage to send the little lion king out personally with him.

From this point of view, there is absolutely no problem with Mu Zhan as a soldier. At least when it comes to protecting the people, he is definitely not a coward.

What's more, Mu Zhan's remarks that offended Zi Yun were really unintentional. How could he have imagined that the Amethyst Winged Lion King who might come to look for his son that he was worried about was the beautiful woman he was chatting up?

After hearing Xiao Yan's comfort, Zi Yun gradually calmed down.

Actually, there was no need for her to be angry just now. It was only because of her habit as a Warcraft that her emotions often outweighed her rationality, which led to this situation. After calming down, she no longer cared about Mu Zhan's unintentional offense.

Mu Zhan saw that Zi Yun, who was a little angry just now, gradually calmed down under Xiao Yan's comfort. His eyes widened and his pupils were filled with shock.

And judging from the way Xiao Yan and Jia Lao were talking just now, it seemed that they were quite familiar with each other?

Who on earth is this Xiao Yan? !

Just as Mu Zhan was so shocked, everyone left the commercial street under the leadership of Yao Ye. Before leaving, Xiao Yixian ran back to the store and put the clothes into her ring, and then she and Qing Lin followed Xiao Yan and others.

The money for these clothes has already been paid for. Wouldn't it be a complete waste if I forget to take them?

By the time Mu Zhan came to his senses, he and others were already standing in front of the palace gate.

Looking at the prosperous palace in front of them, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin both widened their eyes. Even Xiao Yan was no exception. Although he had been to Jia Ma Holy City when he was a child, he had never been to the palace.

I thought the palace of the snake people was already very magnificent, but compared with the palace in front of me, there is simply no comparison.

It was really difficult for the Snake People. They were able to build a palace of that magnitude in a desert where resources were so scarce. It must have been the result of their best efforts.

Not to mention Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, although their experiences since childhood were very miserable, they were just ordinary people after all, how could they have seen such a luxurious building? The magnificence of this palace was completely beyond their cognition.

As for Ziyun and the little lion king? They were originally monsters, so they didn't have any feelings about human buildings. They just thought they were huge.

At this moment, Yao Chen in the ring made a contemptuous sound.

(Haha~ Compared to our power, this is far behind.)

As for the palace before him, no matter how magnificent it looked, it was vulnerable in Yao Chen's eyes.

What's the use of a building that has no protective measures at all, no matter how gorgeous it is?What's more, compared to Yao Chen's perception of splendor, the palace in front of him was far behind.

Hearing Yao Chen's contemptuous voice, Xiao Yan felt helpless.

Although Xiao Yan could feel that Yao Chen was only speaking the truth and had no ill intentions, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Everyone, please follow me."

Two servants dressed as maids respectfully led everyone into the palace. After passing through a series of gorgeous doors, Xiao Yan and others followed the maids to a room that was similar to a reception room.

"Please sit down, don't be shy."

Jia Xingtian handed the linen coat to the maid beside him and sat on the single sofa in the reception room.

After Jia Xingtian spoke, Mu Zhan took a long while to carefully come to the sofa and sit down. The only one who was as cautious as him was Qinglin.

Xiao Yan himself was a very open-minded person, and he naturally respected Jia Xingtian, the royal guardian, in his heart, but in Xiao Yan's opinion, as long as he was polite, there would be no problem at all.

The little medical fairy looked exactly like a normal civilian. He was neither too relaxed nor too nervous, just a very normal attitude.

Although Xiao Yixian was surprised by the magnificence of the palace when she arrived at the door, that was only because she had never seen anything like it before. Since she had seen it before, there was naturally nothing worth noting.

What's more, for the current Little Medical Fairy, apart from Xiao Yan's affairs, there is nothing else worth her worrying about.

Zi Yun was even more excessive. She found a very comfortable position on the sofa and lay down on her back, looking as if she didn't take Jia Xingtian, the royal guardian, seriously at all, which made Jia Xingtian couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

Although I told you not to be so reserved, aren't you being too relaxed?

However, although Jia Xingtian murmured this in his heart, he also understood that this might be the unrestrained nature of the Warcraft. Judging from its appearance, it should have just been transformed not long ago, so it is naturally impossible for it to understand human etiquette.

Moreover, Jia Xingtian had a vague feeling that with Zi Yun's appearance, no matter how long she stayed in human society, she would never know what etiquette was.

However, Xingtian actually didn't dislike Ziyun's casual attitude.

When he was young, he actually hated these rules and etiquette and the like, but because he later sat on the throne, his every word and action represented the image of the country, so he had to force himself to change into his current rather rigid personality.

The difference between a person being only responsible for himself and a person being responsible for a group of people will absolutely lead to great changes in the parties' behavior style.

Soon after everyone sat down, the maid brought everyone freshly brewed tea and snacks. Even the little lion king did not forget to serve. She found a bowl that looked very precious and placed it in front of the little lion king. It was filled with broth, and there was a stack of grilled meat slices on the plate next to it. It was so thoughtful.

Moreover, the maid's expression did not change at all throughout the whole process, even when the little lion king opened his sharp teeth in joy, which made Xiao Yan sigh in his heart.

She is truly worthy of being a royal maid. Although she is just an ordinary person, her mental quality is stronger than many practitioners.

"Please enjoy your meal."

After preparing everything, the maid bowed slightly, slowly left the room, and gently closed the door.

"Then before we talk business," Jia Xingtian picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. He glanced at the trembling Mu Zhan and called softly, "Mu Zhan, boy."

"exist!!!"

Mu Zhan stood up instantly, his whole body tense, which showed exactly what the word "tense" means from the inside out, making Jia Xingtian feel helpless.

"I told you not to be so reserved."

"Yes!!!"

Seeing that Mu Zhan didn't relax at all, Jia Xingtian nodded his eyebrows slightly and didn't continue to dwell on this topic.

His eyes narrowed slightly and he stared closely at Mu Zhan's pupils.

"Mu Zhan, since you are the future heir of the Mu family, you will know this matter sooner or later, so I asked you to come along this time."

"But you should listen to what I say next and remember it carefully. Don't tell anyone. When the time comes, I will assign the Mu family to do the corresponding work. You will be the one taking the lead. Is that ok?"

Hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Mu Zhan's heart was instantly filled with passion. These were the words spoken by Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the royal family! For a soldier, this was definitely the greatest honor!!!

"No problem! I will do my best!"

"very good."

Jia Xingtian was very satisfied with Mu Zhan's attitude, but then his tone suddenly turned cold.

"But you have to remember, as I just said, before I agree, you are not allowed to reveal it to anyone, not even your father. Even if you just mention it casually, once I know..."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Jia! I am willing to guarantee it with the honor of the Mu family! If I really let the cat out of the bag, then I, Mu Zhan, will hang myself at home without your help! I will never live in vain!!!"

"Very good, you are worthy of being a general under General Nalan, you have good awareness."

Jia Xingtian nodded slightly, and hearing Jia Xingtian's praise, Mu Zhan became so excited that his face turned red to his neck.

Then Jia Xingtian's expression suddenly became solemn, he leaned on the back of the sofa and said calmly.

"Now, let's get down to business."

Chapter 214 Mittel

In the Holy City of Gama, inside the Miter family, in the patriarch's room.

Mittel Tengshan, the patriarch of the Milt family, looked at Hai Bodong, who was sitting on the sofa and eating an apple in front of him, in shock, his pupils trembling constantly.

After a long while, Tengshan bent down slightly, leaned in front of Hai Bodong and asked in a low voice.

"Hai Bodong, is it really you?"

"Huh? You still don't believe it?" Hai Bodong raised his eyebrows slightly, and a freezing cold air suddenly emanated from his body. "Do you want me to prove it to you again?"

"No no no! No need!"

Tengshan quickly shook his head and waved his hands, finally confirming that this was not an illusion, and the shock on his face turned into joy.

"You suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago. Later, I heard that you were hunted by Queen Medusa in the Tagor Desert. I took my family members to look for you, but..."

"Okay, okay~ It's an old story from more than ten years ago, why are you still bringing it up?"

Hai Bodong waved his hands unhappily, and Tengshan's face showed some doubts again.

"Why are you like this now?"

"It was affected by the seal, so let's not talk about it."

Hai Bodong obviously didn't want to talk about this issue, and his lips curled up slightly.

Although he has accepted his current appearance, it does not mean that he is willing to listen to others talking about his current body shape.

Immediately, Hai Bodong finished eating the apple in his hand and threw it on the table. He found a very comfortable position and lay on the sofa, supporting his elbows on the sofa, his hands clenched into fists against the side of his face, and his purple eyes looked at Tengshan.

"It seems that you have done a good job in running the auction house over the past decade. I found out about it on the way here. You have managed to run the Miter Auction House to the three major families in the Holy City of Gama?"

Hai Bodong's tone was a little surprised. Miter Auction House was originally a partnership between him and Miter Tengshan. Because Hai Bodong himself was afraid of trouble, he simply named it after Tengshan's surname.

In Hai Bodong's memory, when he left more than ten years ago, Mitre Auction House was doing well, but it was still far behind the Nalan and Mu families, two senior families that had existed since the generation of Jia Xingtian's father. He did not expect that in just over a decade, Mitre Auction House could be on par with these two families. It was really amazing.

"As expected, although I am much stronger than you, when it comes to business, I guess even if three of me were tied together, we still wouldn't be able to beat you."

Hai Bodong shook his little hand gently, and Tengshan quickly comforted him.
