Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Just call me Yanran. If you dare to call me by any other name, I will get angry with you!"

"Uh..." Xiao Yan scratched his face lightly, and after a moment hesitantly said, "Isn't it a bit... too intimate to just call her Yanran?"

"I'm happy with it, any questions?"

Nalan Yanran raised her eyebrows and her tone became somewhat unhappy. Xiao Yan understood when he saw her expression.

If she doesn't do what she wants, Nalan Yanran will really get angry.

"Then. Yanran, please take me to the Alchemist Guild."

"Hmph~ That's good enough, let's go~"

Nalan Yanran raised her nose proudly, then led the way and walked towards the Alchemist Guild in the Holy City of Gama.

More than ten minutes later, under the leadership of Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan and his party arrived at the Alchemist Guild. Looking at the building in front of them, Xiao Yan's heart was slightly shaken.

If the Mitre Auction House exudes an aura of luxury from the inside out, then the Alchemist Guild in front of them is the complete opposite, showing simplicity and restraint. Just from the appearance, one can feel that it has a completely different background from the Mitre Auction House.

Nalan Yanran led Xiao Yan and the others to the door and spoke when the guard's gaze turned to her.

"Hello, we want to meet President Fa Ma." Nalan Yanran said, turning her head to look at Xiao Yan, "Give me the letter of recommendation."

"Ah."

Xiao Yan took out the letter of recommendation from the envelope and handed it to Nalan Yanran, who took it and handed it to the guard.

The guard looked at the people in front of him with some doubt in his eyes, and then looked down at the letter of recommendation in his hand.

When the guard saw the Mittel family crest engraved on the letter, his expression changed slightly. He nodded to his companion beside him, and then looked at Nalan Yanran.

"Please wait a moment. I will report this to President Fa Mammoth."

The guard entered the Alchemist Guild with the letter, while Xiao Yan and others waited silently outside the Alchemist Guild.

Nearly ten minutes later, the guard came out, fixed his gaze on Xiao Yan, and asked softly.

"Are you Xiao Yan?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yan responded softly, and then the guard turned sideways to open the door and made a gesture for someone to come in.

"Please come in. President Fa Ma has sent people inside to prepare for the assessment." After saying that, the guard looked at Nalan Yanran and the others, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the Alchemist Guild has a rule that no one is allowed to enter without permission. Please wait outside."

"Got it." Nalan Yanran waved her hand lightly and glanced at Xiao Yan, "Go in, we'll wait for you outside."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, then walked into the Alchemist Guild. Nalan Yanran and the other two were waiting silently outside the Alchemist Guild.

"So, why are we following here?"

Nalan Yanran glanced sideways at Xiao Yixian. She had originally intended to be on guard against Ya Fei, but she didn't expect that Ya Fei didn't say anything extra. She simply sent a letter of recommendation to Xiao Yan.

Hearing Nalan Yanran's question, the Little Medical Fairy shrugged lightly.

"We're staying here anyway. If we weren't here just now, there's no telling what that woman would do to Xiao Yan."

"That's true." Nalan Yanran nodded and bit her thumb nail. "That woman is too dangerous. We must be on guard against her."

Qinglin, who was in the middle of the two people, listened to their conversation with a lot of question marks in his mind.

She was still young and didn't understand love or anything like that, but when she heard the conversation between Xiao Yixian and Nalan Yanran, she felt like a mother hen protecting her chicks, just like the feeling Xiao Yu showed to her.

When Qing Lin thought of Xiao Wei, his mood suddenly dropped.

Captain Xiao Jing, when can we meet again?

Tagor Desert, the holy land of the snake people.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Yue Mei looked at Xiao Ji, who was suddenly staring into the distance in a daze, and asked puzzledly.

"Oh, it's okay." Xiao Jing came back to his senses, smiled and waved his hands, "I'm just worried that Qinglin will feel lonely after leaving me."

"Don't worry, big sister. Xiao Yanzi will take good care of her and make her plump and white. Don't worry about it."

Xiao Li reached out and patted Xiao Jing's shoulder, comforting him in a careless manner. Xiao Jing smiled without saying a word, and nodded slightly to agree with Xiao Li's words.

Immediately, Xiao Wei's expression straightened and he looked at Yue Mei.

"Your Highness Yaoye and his men should arrive tomorrow morning. We must resolve all issues before then." Xiao Yu said, glancing at Mobas. "Chief Mobas, what is the current situation of your tribe?"

"Forehead"

Mobas's expression froze and he scratched his face lightly in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, but most of the Ink Snake Clan are still against reconciliation with humans."

Not all of the Snake People know clearly about the series of events that happened in the Snake People before, and even if many facts are stated clearly, it is difficult for them to believe in a short period of time. Therefore, there are still Snake People who oppose reconciliation with humans.

Among the eight snake tribes, the Black Snake Tribe had the most opposition.

Regarding this point, Mobas was too embarrassed to forcibly suppress the opposition of those tribesmen.

After all, it was he himself who infected the entire Black Snake Clan and made them hate humans so much.

Although the Black Snake people of the Yakaqiu tribe are not as hostile to humans because of Xiao Yan's actions, Yakaqiu is just a small tribe in the Black Snake tribe and cannot represent anything.

After hearing Mobas' answer, Xiao Wei also felt a little headache and tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

"Then there is nothing we can do. When His Highness Yaoye and the others come here tomorrow, try not to let them come into contact with the Moshe people."

"As for the migration of the Black Snake Tribe, let's put it aside for now."

Xiao Wei looked at Mobas and said slowly.

"Just as the original plan said, the snake people from other tribes will migrate away from the Tagor Desert first. After a while, when they feel the gap in living standards with their own tribes, the opposition from the black snake people will gradually decrease. During this period, we will have to put up with them for a while."

"I see."

Mobas nodded heavily and responded in a deep voice.

Of course, at that time, Mobas himself will stay in the Tagor Desert with the Black Snake people until the last person.

This is my own fault, and I have the obligation to stick with it until the end.

"That's it, let's move on."

Before Xiao Yi finished speaking, she suddenly found that the leaders were looking behind her. At the same time, Xiao Yi felt a little creepy. She turned around suddenly and saw a figure covered in a cloak standing behind her.

When did this guy come?!

After a brief moment of fear, Xiao Wei relaxed.

Because they all knew this person.

Xiao Yu stood up and looked at the other person with confusion.

"Why are you here suddenly?"

The man said nothing, and a long sword appeared in his palm under the cloak. In the astonished eyes of Xiao Yu and others, with a strong fighting spirit, he swung it towards them without hesitation!

boom! ! !

In an instant, the conference hall was reduced to ruins.

Chapter 223 I, Xiao Yan, am a straight man

In the Holy City of Gama, inside the Alchemist Guild.

As the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire in the Twin Snake Cauldron gradually dissipated, a round pill came out of the furnace. Its color was so bright, and there were gorgeous patterns on the surface of the pill. The fragrance emanating from it made those who smelled it intoxicated.

"Whoo~~~"

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense nerves in his heart finally relaxed.

He hasn't been able to make medicine properly for many days, and he is worried that his skills have declined.

But now it seems that he was worrying too much. The combination of the strange fire and the increased level of the Burning Technique made him more adept at refining medicine than before.

Immediately, Xiao Yan handed the third-grade pill Fengxing Pill in his hand to the stunned examiner in front of him and asked softly.

"Do you think this is qualified?"

"Ah? Oh!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, the examiner suddenly came back to his senses, reached out to take the Fengxing Pill from Xiao Yan's hand, examined it carefully, and an expression of deep surprise and complexity flashed in his eyes.

"Passed."

The examiner's voice trembled slightly, and he announced the test results while suppressing the shock in his heart.

Then a staff member came in from outside holding a tray. On the tray were a robe and a silver badge. The most eye-catching feature of the badge was the three stars engraved under the word "Medicine", which was the certificate of a third-grade alchemist recognized by the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire.

"Sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Yan saluted to the examiner, then put away his robe, badge and medicine cauldron, and left the examination room under the guidance of the staff.

At the same time Xiao Yan left the examination room, a figure appeared next to the examiner.

The president of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild, a fifth-rank alchemist with Dou Huang strength, Fa Ma.

"How is the result?"

"Master Fa Ma!" The examiner was startled by Fa Ma's sudden appearance, and then he presented the Wind-Running Pill in his hand to Fa Ma, "Master Fa Ma, this is the Wind-Running Pill refined by that young man."

Fa Ma reached out to take the pill, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. After a while, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Although the Wind-Running Pill was only a third-grade pill, judging from the quality of the pill, there were even pill patterns on it. Judging from the level of refining, the boy named Xiao Yan would have no problem refining a fourth-grade pill. In addition, he was young and possessed a strange fire.

"It's a bit unfair to others to let this kid participate in the Alchemist Conference."

Fa Ma laughed.

The Alchemist Conference only has age restrictions and no regulations on grade.

But normally speaking, those who can reach the fourth-grade alchemist level within this age group are rare in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

"I'm afraid that little Princess Yaoyue and that kid Liu Ling will be hit hard this time~"

Fa Ma handed the pill back to the examiner. Thinking of the recommendation letter, his old brows slightly frowned.

Xiao Yan, the young man from Wutan City and Nalan Yanran's fiancé, had a letter of recommendation for the alchemist assessment written by the Mitre Auction House. If nothing unexpected happens, when Xiao Yan attends the Alchemist Conference, he should also be applying for the Mitre Auction House's name.

This is something that anyone would feel is wrong.

Whether it is emotional or logical, Xiao Yan should participate in the Alchemist Conference in the name of the Nalan family.

Of course, it would be understandable if Xiao Yan had a bad relationship with his fiancée's family.

However, from what I heard, Xiao Yan has a pretty good relationship with the Nalan family.

Moreover, the fact that Xiao Yan is the future son-in-law of the Nalan family is basically known to the entire Gama Holy City. The Mitre Auction House should not take the initiative to do something that is tantamount to an offense, which is equivalent to insulting the Nalan family.

They were all in the Holy City of Gama, and all were from one of the three major families. However, their future son-in-law was supported by a seemingly irrelevant person, the Mitre Auction House, to attend the Alchemist Conference. If this got out and was heard by some people with ulterior motives, they would think that the Nalan family did not like Xiao Yan.

In other words, the Nalan family probably condoned what the Mitre Auction House did.

As for the fact that the Mitre Auction House took the initiative to do something that might offend the Nalan family, and the Nalan family did not express any objection, there was only one reason that Fa Ma could think of.

Someone above must have passed the order to the two families.

(Royal family?)

Fa Ma frowned, turned around and slowly left the examination room under the examiner's puzzled gaze.

As the top people in the Holy City of Gama, they are naturally very clear about what has happened in the royal family and the Yunlan Sect in recent times.

As the saying goes, old people become more shrewd. After just a moment of thought, Fa Ma immediately understood the reason why the royal family did this.

"It seems that this alchemist conference should be the last calm before the storm."

Fa Ma murmured and sighed.

Outside the Alchemist Guild, Nalan Yanran and the other two were still waiting in boredom.

"But I really didn't expect Xiao Yan to be able to refine medicine."

Nalan Yanran murmured softly, and the little medical fairy squatted on the ground with a helpless smile on her lips.

"If you knew what he has been doing recently, you would think that his ability to refine medicine is nothing big." The Little Medical Fairy turned her eyes slightly and glanced at Nalan Yanran. "Compared to what he has done recently, his ability to refine medicine is simply not worth mentioning."

What Xiao Yixian said was the absolute truth.

As for all the things Xiao Yan did during the Snakeman incident, refining medicine alone cannot be compared with those things.
