Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Hai Bodong scratched his hair in annoyance, then lay down on the sofa. He stretched out his short hands to pick up an apple from the fruit plate on the coffee table, then sat cross-legged on the sofa and took a big bite.

This series of actions on a young child is extremely cute, but those who know Hai Bodong's true identity are all frowning.

Just imagine, if Hai Bodong used the same set of actions just now on an old man in his sixties or seventies, the scene would be extremely horrible.

But Hai Bodong didn't care what others thought. After swallowing the apple in his mouth, he looked at Jia Xingtian with some sympathy.

"I'm really sorry for scolding you in the Serpent Tribe Holy Land. I didn't expect the Yunlan Sect to be in such trouble now. No wonder you are so cautious."

"It's okay, as long as you understand it."

Jia Xingtian raised his hand and waved it slightly, indicating that he no longer cared.

What's more, Hai Bodong's abuse of him in the snake tribe was not entirely wrong.

Over the years, I have indeed lost too many opportunities because I have taken too many things into consideration, which has led to things eventually developing to this point.

"If I could have made a decision earlier, things wouldn't have become so troublesome."

Jia Xingtian blamed himself quietly like this. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

After all, I am old.

For those who hold high positions, inner aging is more terrifying than physical aging.

"But things have come to this point now. It's useless to continue to regret the past." Jia Xingtian leaned back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. "Now we should think about how to solve the Yunlan Sect's problem."

As Jia Xingtian spoke, he explained the current situation of the Yunlan Sect clearly to everyone present.

As Jia Xingtian continued his narration, everyone present had their brows furrowed more and more.

Obviously, they all realized how serious the problems of the Yunlan Sect were, except for two people, Qinglin and Ziyun.

Qinglin is too young and his brain is not very clear, while Ziyun is simply not interested in the affairs of human society and naturally does not think too much about them.

After finishing his description of the current situation of the Yunlan Sect, Jia Xingtian slowly crossed his legs and glanced at everyone in the room.

"Well, everyone, you already understand the specific situation. Do you have any good solutions?"

After Jia Xingtian finished speaking, silence fell in the room.

After a while, Ziyun folded her arms and spoke first.

"Why don't you just fight them directly? Can you not defeat them?"

With Ziyun as a demon beast, why would she have to worry so much? Wouldn't it be enough to just throw away her arms and fight? Given the difference in strength between the Yunlan Sect and the Jiama Empire, it shouldn't be difficult, right?

But things were obviously not as simple as she imagined.

If it were really that simple, then Jia Xingtian wouldn't have to worry so much.

The point is not whether the Gama Empire can defeat the Yunlan Sect, but what kind of trouble the Gama Empire will bring after the war between the Gama Empire and the Yunlan Sect.

You have to know that almost every industry in the Gama Empire now has retired disciples from the Yunlan Sect. Once the Gama Empire takes the initiative to declare war on the Yunlan Sect, it is really hard to say whether these retired disciples will help the Gama Empire or the Yunlan Sect.

The most important point is that the only evidence that the Jia Ma royal family can produce for the various crimes of the Yun Lan Sect is written evidence. Therefore, the Jia Ma royal family has no legitimate reason to attack the Yun Lan Sect.

Unless those retired disciples who helped the Yunlan Sect conceal the evidence are willing to come forward as witnesses, the Yunlan Sect’s guilt can be proven.

Moreover, the number of witnesses to these crimes cannot be just one or two. At least a majority of people must be willing to come forward to testify before it can be used as a reason to attack the Yunlan Sect.

But is this possible?

If these retired disciples could simply stand up as witnesses, they would not have helped the Yunlan Sect hide evidence from the beginning.

From the moment these retired disciples of Yunlan Sect helped Yunlan Sect conceal the evidence of crimes, they had been invisibly tied to the same boat by Yunlan Sect. They must be well aware of the interests involved and it is impossible for them to stand up and testify just because of a few words from the royal family.

This is of no benefit to them, and may even be harmful.

As witnesses, they were also the ones who helped the Yunlan Sect conceal its crimes. How could they be sure that after they stood up to testify, the Jia Ma royal family would forgive them for concealing the evidence?

No one can guarantee it.

Even if they didn't want to help the Yunlan Sect but just wanted to protect themselves, they wouldn't come forward to testify.

Therefore, Jia Xingtian simply ignored Zi Yun's remarks and continued to look at other people.

Xiao Yan's eyes were conflicted for a moment, then he looked at Jia Xingtian and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Jia, Sister Yun Yun has no idea what Yun Lan Zong has done, and she is very angry about it. With her help, can the Jia Ma Royal Family successfully punish Yun Lan Zong?"

What Xiao Yan said was not without reason.

Yun Yun had previously risked her life to protect the Snake People, firstly to help Xiao Yan, and secondly to thoroughly understand how much the Yunlan Sect was involved in the Snake People's affairs.

But the truth she finally learned was far more serious than she had expected.

The Yunlan Sect is involved in more matters than just the Snake Tribe matter.

Therefore, Yun Yun was extremely angry about what the Yunlan Sect had done over the years, and Xingtian also witnessed this with his own eyes.

That kind of anger and shame came from the genuine guilt for Yunlan Sect's actions, and there was absolutely no falsehood in it.

Therefore, Xiao Yan believed that if Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, could help, things would be much easier to resolve.

However, Jia Xingtian shook his head slightly at Xiao Yan's idea.

"Little Xiao Yan, you are still too young." Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Yan and asked slowly, "Take the Jia Ma Imperial Family as an example. Why do you think the people of the Jia Ma Empire are willing to accept the Jia Ma Imperial Family to rule the Jia Ma Empire?"

"Is it because of the name of the Gama Royal Family?"

"Or is it because the people of the Gama Empire trust our Gama royal family?"

When Jia Xingtian said this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.

Then, Jia Xingtian continued.

"Little boy Xiao Yan, you have to remember that no matter it is the title of the royal family, queen, clan leader, leader or other titles representing leaders, they are just empty names. What is really important is whether these superiors can gain the trust of the people below."

"And the names of these leaders are just synonyms for the collective trust."

"Even if you have the title of a leader, if you don't gain the trust of your subordinates, then this title is just a nice name."

"On the contrary, even if you don't have the title of leader, as long as you can gain the trust of your subordinates, you will naturally be able to lead them."

"This law also applies to Yun Lan Zong and Yun Yun."

“Although it is true that Yun Yun is the leader of Yun Lan Sect, she has seldom stayed in the sect over the years. Sect affairs are handled by the elders of Yun Lan Sect. That is why Yun Yun is completely unaware of what Yun Lan Sect does secretly.”

"Under such circumstances, the title of Sect Leader for Yun Yun is just a nice title. She actually has no real power at all. Not to mention the elders, I'm afraid even the disciples of Yun Lan Sect will hardly listen to her."

"And when Yun Yun does not have enough trust from the entire Yun Lan Sect, she will accept the punishment from the Jia Ma Royal Family on behalf of the Yun Lan Sect without authorization. The result will only be counterproductive."

"After all, to the people of Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun is just an outsider with the title of Sect Master."

Xing Tian's words made Xiao Yan completely silent.

He understood.

After all, this is the same as one's own righteous path.

What is really important is not the word "right way", but the series of words, deeds and behaviors included in the right way. The so-called "right way" is just a convenient name for these words, deeds and behaviors.

It's me, I think too simply

After Jia Xingtian refuted Xiao Yan's proposal, the room returned to silence again.

Even Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, couldn't solve the problem even if he stood on their side. What else could they do?

It's impossible to move, and delaying won't solve the problem.

Trouble.

After several minutes, Jia Xingtian still didn't hear any more suggestions, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, the Gama royal family has been dragging on for so long and has not been able to solve the problem. How could these people get together and come up with a solution so easily?

"Since no one has any idea, let's just leave it this way for now." Jia Xingtian put down his legs and said calmly, "Now that the Mo family has been destroyed, the Snake People and the Jia Ma Empire are about to successfully reconcile, and the Yun Lan Sect should be able to stay quiet for a while. We still have plenty of time."

"Let's slowly develop it over time, and maybe we can find a solution by chance."

"But before that, the necessary preparations still need to be made."

Jia Xingtian said this and glanced at Mu Zhan and Ya Fei.

"Mu Zhan, Ya Fei, the two of you go back and count the retired disciples of the Yunlan Sect within your own family, and hand over a list to me. Of course, this matter must be kept in absolute secrecy and must not be known to anyone, including your clan leader."

"Follow me!!!"

Hearing Jia Xingtian's order, Mu Zhan and Ya Fei responded in a straight voice, and then Jia Xingtian spoke again.

"As for those retired disciples of Yunlan Sect who are not under the influence of the Mu Family and the Mitel Family, you don't need to worry about them. The royal family will investigate it clearly. As for the Nalan Family..." Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Yan and said softly: "Xiao Yan, you will go and tell them."

"it is good."

Xiao Yan nodded heavily in response, and then added Xing Tian's instructions.

"Remember, this order can only be known to General Nalan, and must not be revealed to anyone else in the Nalan family, including Miss Yanran."

Hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly froze and his brows slightly frowned.

"Mr. Jia, you."

"Yanran is now the young master of the Yunlan Sect. With her sensitive identity, she shouldn't have been involved in this matter. It won't benefit her whether she helps the Jia Ma royal family or the Yunlan Sect. It's for her own good to keep it a secret. What's more,..." Jia Xingtian interrupted Xiao Yan and narrowed his eyes. "Just because I can trust General Nalan doesn't mean I can trust his granddaughter. This is my bottom line of suspicion. I hope you can understand."

".Yes, Xiao Yan understands."

Xiao Yan paused for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

Jia Xingtian was right. This was already his bottom line of suspicion. What right did Xiao Yan have to ask him to believe Nalan Yanran?

"Okay, let's stop here for today. Let's all go back."

Jia Xingtian gave Hai Bodong a subtle wink, then clapped his hands lightly. The door of the room was opened again. The maid came in, bowed respectfully to everyone, and then guided everyone out of the room.

"Son, we are leaving~"

Zi Yun, who felt very bored with this conversation, reached out her hand and patted the little lion king who was dozing off on the sofa after eating and drinking. Then she stood up and prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned around, drank the cup of cold tea brought by the maid on the table, and then left the room with satisfaction with the little lion king.

"Mr. Jia, we'll take our leave now."

Xiao Yan also stood up and said goodbye to Jia Xingtian. Jia Xingtian nodded and gestured to Zi Yun who was leaving.

"Keep a close eye on her and don't cause any more trouble."

"what"

Xiao Yan scratched his face in embarrassment, then immediately pulled Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian out of the room. Ya Fei followed after saying goodbye to Jia Xingtian. Before leaving, she glanced at Hai Bodong and saw him wave to her before leaving. Mu Zhan also hurriedly followed.

"Ya Fei! Wait for me!"

As Mu Zhan finally left the room, Yao Ye held on to the sofa, bent down slightly and whispered to Jia Xingtian.

"Grandfather, I will go and prepare for the reconciliation with the snake people and set out immediately to meet up with Captain Xiao Jing."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Jia Xingtian gave a concerned instruction, Yao Ye nodded slightly, walked out of the room and closed the door tightly.

In a blink of an eye, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong were the only ones left in the room.

Hai Bodong ate an apple and glanced at Jia Xingtian.

"So, you winked at me specifically to let me stay. Do you have anything else to tell me?"

Hearing Hai Bodong's question, Jia Xingtian paused and asked.

"Where did Yun Yun go?"

"Who knows~ Maybe she has gone to some corner to think about life." Hai Bodong shrugged lightly, with an expression of ignorance, "The sect that gave birth to her has become so miserable without her knowing it. She must be reflecting on herself somewhere now."

"So do you think she will help the royal family or the Yunlan Sect?"

Jia Xingtian frowned and asked in a deep voice.

As one of the few Dou Huangs in the Jia Ma Empire, even if Yun Yun could not command the Yun Lan Sect, she was extremely crucial in this incident, and Jia Xingtian had to consider it.

"It's useless to ask me about this. Does it mean she can choose whatever I say?"

Hai Bodong rolled his eyes at Jia Xingtian and waved his hand impatiently.

"Hurry up and tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Obviously, if he just wanted to ask about Yun Yun's current situation, Jia Xingtian would have asked it directly just now. There was no need to keep him here to question him alone.

Of course, there are other reasons.

After hearing Hai Bodong's words, Jia Xingtian stopped beating around the bush.
