Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Thinking of this, Yao Chen couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.

If we let them know that I have accepted such a disciple, probably no one would believe it, right?

After all, in terms of master and disciple, the compatibility between him and Xiao Yan is really far apart.

Although Yun Yun is not as good as Xiao Yan, she is also very upright and can be Xiao Yan's teacher.

Although their power is not as strong as his, and they certainly cannot provide as much help to Xiao Yan in his growth as he does, but at least on the righteous path that Xiao Yan adheres to, the two of them can have more in common.

However, their relationship is much closer than that of a master and a disciple.

Yao Chen rested his jade fingers on his chin, a sly smile on his face.

After the Yunlan Sect issue is resolved, they will have to find every possible way to improve Xiao Yan's strength, and the art of alchemy must not be neglected.

Three years is not a short time, but it is certainly not long either.

This time, Yun Yun felt that Xiao Yan would not be able to reach the agreed level in three years, so she agreed to the agreement because she had no hope in the first place.

If I let go of the three-year agreement this time, it would be unlikely to get her to admit it again.

In fact, this time might be the only chance for Yun Yun to put aside her concerns.

It must be achieved.

"Senior Yao, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the smile on Yao Chen's beautiful face, Xiao Yan frowned instinctively.

Why do I feel like Yao Chen is hiding something very important to me?

Hearing Xiao Yan's gentle call, Yao Chen looked at him and then waved his hand gently.

"Nothing, just thinking about something." After saying this, Yao Chen returned to the ring again, "Just wait for a while, I still have plans to prepare. After this matter is over, you have to work hard according to the goals I set for you before."

Previously set goals?

Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then he remembered, and a deep worry appeared on his face.

In three years, his strength was raised to that of Dou Wang, and his alchemy skills were raised to the sixth level.

This goal is a bit too difficult.

Although Xiao Yan was so distressed, he did not strongly oppose the goal set by Yao Chen.

Yao Chen must have her own considerations for doing this. As her disciple, I should not have any doubts but carry out her instructions wholeheartedly.

However, having said that.

Xiao Yan sat on a chair, his elbows resting on the table, his face supported by his palms, and he looked up at the ceiling in the room.

No matter how determined one is, it cannot offset the difficulty of achieving this goal.

Chapter 220 Don’t Sympathize

In the reception room of the Nalan family, Qinglin sat on a chair and silently ate the snacks that Nalan Yanran had ordered the servants to bring. Ziyun sat on the chair with her legs crossed, one hand resting on the side of her face, the other hand gently stroking the little lion king's head, looking indifferently at Nalan Yanran and the Little Medical Fairy who were sitting in front of her and chatting.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

It's really hard to understand human beings.

Obviously, both sides were full of hostility towards each other when they first came in, but after some communication, they became harmonious.

Are all human beings so fickle-minded, or are girls the only exception?

Just as Ziyun was thinking this in her heart, the little lion king beside her yawned loudly, then fell to the ground with tired eyes, and fell asleep peacefully soon after.

Looking at the little lion king sleeping soundly at her feet, Ziyun's eyes flashed with a hint of pampering that only belongs to a mother.

During this period, the little lion king slept more and more frequently. As an experienced beast, Ziyun understood that this was a sign of impending advancement.

The little lion king is now a third-level magical beast. After it successfully advances to a fourth-level magical beast, you can feed it the companion purple crystal source.

By then, the little lion king will be able to grow into a fifth-level magical beast.

(Let’s go back and find a safe place to stay for a while.)

Ziyun made this decision in her heart that she would do her best to protect her son's growth. This was her nature as a mother, regardless of whether he was a human or a monster.

At this time, the little medical fairy also told Nalan Yanran about her experience of meeting Xiao Yan. Nalan Yanran was silent for a long time after listening, and a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Yixian's experience was so miserable. In comparison, my life so far can be said to have been smooth sailing. The grievances I have suffered are probably not even one-tenth of what Xiao Yixian had suffered.

Nalan Yanran knew very well that if her family was killed because of her own fault, she would have probably given up on this world long ago.

The reason why Xiao Yixiang can hold on until now is not only because of her strong nature, but also because she was saved by two extremely important people.

One is Boss Yao, and the other is Xiao Yan.

If one of these two people were missing, there would probably be no such person as Xiao Yixiang now.

The Little Medical Fairy narrated this experience to Nalan Yanran in order to let Nalan Yanran know clearly why she fell in love with Xiao Yan, and to let her deeply understand her sincerity and dedication to Xiao Yan.

And this goal was indeed achieved.

After listening to the story of how Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan met, Nalan Yanran pondered for a long time in her mind, but in the end she couldn't think of any words to deny Xiao Yixian's feelings.

For any person, when he was at his most desperate, someone like Xiao Yan would not abandon or give up. No matter how much he rejected him, he would still be willing to sacrifice his life to pull himself out of the abyss. There should be no one. , it is possible not to be tempted by Xiao Yan.

Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If you think about it carefully, isn’t it because of similar reasons that I fell in love with Xiao Yan?

Ten years ago, when he, who was as weak as herself, stood steadfastly in front of her to protect her, Nalan Yanran still cannot forget the image of him.

The feeling of being touched in my heart at that time should be exactly the same as the throbbing that Xiao Yixian felt from Xiao Yan when she was most desperate.

"Aha."

Nalan Yanran covered her eyes with her hands, raised her head and let out a deep sigh.

The eyes obscured by the palms revealed helplessness and resentment.

How can I go against her?

What made Nalan Yanran even more headache was that she could not blame anyone for this matter, not even Xiao Yan.

If I blame Xiao Yan for doing those things that made Xiao Yixian fall in love with him, then what about the back of him that was once engraved in my heart?

What's the difference between denying Xiao Yixiang's feelings and denying your own feelings?

After all, at least in terms of feelings for Xiao Yan, the only difference between herself and Xiao Yixian is that she and Xiao Yan are engaged.

But after celebrating the New Year at the Xiao family half a year ago, Nalan Yanran understood it deeply.

If she really liked Xiao Yan, she shouldn't bring up things like engagement.

The title of fiancée is like a trump card for Nalan Yanran, and it must not be used until the last moment.

When she used this trump card, it proved that she had nothing else to offer.

Nalan Yanran couldn't accept the pride in her heart.

After a long silence, Nalan Yanran took her hands away from her eyes and glanced sideways at the Little Medical Fairy.

"Well, I mean, if, I mean if."

"If Xiao Yan and I really get married in the future, what are you going to do?"

"Even if the person who will be with Xiao Yan in the future is not me, there will be someone else. Will you give up then?"

Hearing Nalan Yanran's question, the little medical fairy's pupils froze slightly, her lips slightly pursed, and her slender jade fingers couldn't help but clenched tightly.

Little Medical Fairy understood that what Nalan Yanran said was not impossible.

Sooner or later, Xiao Yan will choose to marry a woman at some point in the future.

And this woman may not necessarily be herself.

When that time comes, how should I choose?

The little medical fairy was thinking quietly in her mind.

After a while, Xiao Yixian's body gradually relaxed. She looked at Nalan Yanran, and a faint smile with a hint of sadness appeared on her face.

"By that time, I might have given up."

"I have already caused him too much trouble. If he really marries someone else in the future, I will not make it difficult for him in the slightest."

"After giving up, maybe I will stay by his side and take care of him as a maid, or maybe I will leave him forever and never see him again. Both are possible."

"But at least now, while I can still fight for it, I want to do my best. I don't want to leave any regrets in my feelings for Xiao Yan. Even if I fail, I can tell myself that I tried my best."

The Little Medical Fairy gazed into Nalan Yanran's eyes, revealing genuine affection.

Solemnly, word by word.

"I really, really like him."

Listening to Little Medical Fairy's confession, Nalan Yanran stared at her blankly, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Even deep down in my heart, I began to have some thoughts of giving up.

Nalan Yanran would never deny that her feelings for Xiao Yan were real.

But Xiao Yixiang, a girl of the same age as herself, has suffered too much.

If she were to be deprived of this vision, wouldn't it be too cruel for her?

Nalan Yanran's eyes dropped slightly.

There are still many beautiful things in my life.

But apart from Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian really has nothing left.

Like letting Xiao Yixian leave Xiao Yan and try to find other meanings in life.

Nalan Yanran definitely couldn't say such words.

Anyone who has experienced what Little Medical Fairy has experienced would hardly be able to do this.

It can even be said that Xiao Yan is the only reason why Xiao Yixian can still be alive with hope.

Whether it's enjoying new things, tasting new foods, or just enjoying shopping like other girls.

All of this is built on Xiao Yan's foundation.

How could I have the heart to tell a girl with such a pitiful fate to give up?

Nalan Yanran felt extremely conflicted.

I thought that Xiao Yu from the Xiao family was troublesome enough, but I didn't expect that the Little Medical Fairy was even more difficult to deal with than Xiao Yu.

Facing Xiao Yu, Nalan Yanran just didn't know how to deal with it.

But facing the Little Medical Fairy, Nalan Yanran couldn't even muster the heart to deal with her.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but blame Xiao Yan deep in her heart.

I know that with your excellence, there will definitely be a lot of girls who like you. I already knew this when I went to the Xiao family before.

Of course, I am prepared for this.

But why are all the girls who like you the type that make you feel sorry for them and impossible to resist?

Nalan Yanran's eyes were filled with sorrow.

At this moment, she actually missed Xiao Xun'er a little.

At least when facing Xiao Xun'er, he could play dirty tricks on her without any scruples.

Without any psychological burden or moral baggage, if Xiao Xun'er is really done, then what Nalan Yanran will feel in her heart will surely be a great pleasure.

But if he used the same methods he used on Xiao Xun'er on Xiao Yixian, then even if he won in the end, he would still feel a strong sense of guilt.

Even though, it's not my fault.

I have a headache.

Nalan Yanran's eyes were full of melancholy.

The Little Medical Fairy looked at Nalan Yanran, who was frowning, and seemed to see the confusion in her heart. She smiled and spoke lightly.

"Ms. Nalan, please don't worry about me."

"Ok?"
