Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

She clearly felt that her disciple's inner view of power had quietly changed after the incident with the snake people.

Although he had pursued power for the sake of righteousness before, he was extremely reluctant to do so.

Even after the Qingshan Town incident, he began to fear power from the bottom of his heart. He was afraid that he would become a slave to power.

However, now he began to actively accept power and seek power.

This is definitely a good thing for Xiao Yan.

After all, Xiao Yan has to encounter too many troubles on his righteous path. If he does not have enough strength, he will most likely be powerless halfway.

Now that Xiao Yan is so eager for power, when he encounters trouble in the future, he will definitely be able to solve it with a greater possibility.

That's great.

(Heh) Yao Chen chuckled, with a hint of helplessness in his words, (I really can't do anything with you, my disciple. Since you have asked me so much, I, your teacher, will naturally help you.)

(Don't worry, it's a little difficult to eliminate the side effects of this move you changed, but it's not impossible. I will help you overcome it when you practice later.)

Hearing Yao Chen's assurance, Xiao Yan was overjoyed and thanked Yao Chen in a Zheng Sheng manner.

(Thank you, Senior Yao!)

Xiao Yan's heartfelt gratitude made Yao Chen feel a little warm in his heart, and more importantly, he felt relieved.

At this time, Xiao Yan had truly grown compared to when he first started out in the Xiao family.

In Yao Chen's eyes, Xiao Yan was too cautious in his righteousness. He had always tried his best to avoid making any mistakes, even if they were unintentional. The dark energy in his heart was also accumulated due to his long-term caution.

Although he used his power and taught his family members how to gain power, Xiao Yan himself did not realize that deep in his heart, he had always had a prejudice against power.

Xiao Yan has always felt that powerful people are more likely to go astray and lose their original intentions.

Xiao Yan's understanding of strength can be summed up in one word: he is as afraid of the strong as a tiger.

Even Xiao Yan's fear of the strong includes himself.

Yao Chen discovered this problem early on, but didn't know how to persuade him.

After all, that's the fact.

There are people all over the continent who have been bewitched and lost by power, so Xiao Yan can't help but feel prejudiced against power.

However, although Yao Chen didn't know how to persuade him, she just understood that Xiao Yan's idea was wrong, especially when Xiao Yan wanted to break the truth of the survival of the fittest.

But now, Yao Chen no longer has to worry about how to correct Xiao Yan's concept.

It seems that the affairs of the Snake People had a great impact on Xiao Yan, so great that it made him change his view on power.

Although Xiao Yan did not clearly state what he thought of strength now, Yao Chen was certain that now that he was no longer afraid of the strong, his path of righteousness would be smoother in the future.

Chapter 228 Report

Canaan Academy, a famous institution on the Douqi Continent, is located at the junction of the Jiama Empire and the other two empires. Its reputation is so great that countless people are eager to be accepted as its students.

Behind this reputation is the power that terrorizes the Northwest Continent! A mere academy can make the three empires feel daunted, which shows how terrifying the overall strength of Canaan Academy is!

On a remote mountain near Canaan College, a graceful figure stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing towards the direction of the Gama Empire with deep nostalgia in her eyes.

This girl who was as pure as a green lotus was actually Xiao Xun'er, a girl with a mysterious identity from the Xiao family.

"It's been half a year already."

Xiao Xun'er murmured, with a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

This is the first time that I have been away from Brother Xiao Yan for such a long time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but smile at herself.

People always say that Xiao Mei can't grow up and can't live without Xiao Yan, but I'm actually not much different.

Suddenly, Xiao Xun'er's expression froze and she slowly looked sideways behind her.

"Come out."

As Xiao Xun'er finished speaking, a black shadow emerged on the grass behind her, and finally gathered into a figure kneeling on one knee.

This person was none other than Ling Ying, the man sent by Xiao Xun'er's family to protect her and also sent by Xiao Xun'er to secretly protect Xiao Yan. He was a man with the strength of a peak Dou Huang.

Xiao Xun'er turned around and faced Ling Ying, with deep expectation in her eyes, and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Ling, I'm sorry to bother you these days."

"My lady's orders are my duty as an old servant. Why would you bother me?"

Ling Ying responded calmly, and then told Xiao Xun'er about the series of things Xiao Yan had done in the past six months.

After listening to Ling Ying's narration of what Xiao Yan had done, especially the part about him going alone to the Strange Fire, Xiao Xun'er's heart couldn't help but tighten, and she immediately rebuked him loudly.

"Why didn't you help at that time?!"

That was a strange fire! Even a Dou Huang had to be extremely alert when in contact with it. Xiao Yan, a Dou Master, dared to rush in alone without any preparation. He was lucky to survive! If Gu He didn't have the Blood Lotus Pill or if he had selfish motives and didn't contribute the Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Yan would have really died!!!

"Please punish me, Miss!"

In response, Ling Ying did not say a word in defense, but simply bowed his head and apologized.

Xiao Xun'er was right in asking the right question. She was sent to protect Xiao Yan, but she ended up watching Xiao Yan rush into the strange fire. Fortunately, she survived in the end. If he had died in the strange fire, how would she explain to her own lady?

Seeing Ling Ying bow his head and confess his guilt, Xiao Xun'er suddenly calmed down, stared at Ling Ying quietly, and after a long while, she sighed deeply.

"Forget it, it's not your fault." Xiao Xun'er said softly, and then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Who could have imagined that Brother Xiao Yan would do that?"

That’s right, who could have imagined that Xiao Yan would rush into the strange fire?

That kind of behavior that seems to be completely suicidal and extremely stupid in the eyes of others is simply beyond the scope of cognition, so how can it be prevented?

Thinking of this, a deep sorrow appeared in Xiao Xun'er's eyes.

The things Xiao Yan did in the past six months were truly unacceptable. I'm afraid no one could believe that a person with a normal mind could do those things.

But she, who grew up with Xiao Yan, knew very well that those were things Xiao Yan could do, and only he could do them.

People who are not familiar with Xiao Yan would think that he is a man with a clear mind who knows what to do and what not to do.

that's the truth.

However, only those who are familiar with him know how rebellious Xiao Yan is in his heart.

He really knows what to do and what not to do.

But his perception of many things is completely different from that of others, which often leads to him thinking that things that others think should be done should not be done.

He will do things that others think should not be done even if it costs his life!

Only he himself knows what he is determined to do.

And no matter what, Xiao Yan is still alive and well now, and for Xiao Xun'er, this is enough.

Although with Xiao Yan's personality, similar things will definitely happen a lot in the future.

"Mr. Ling, please be more careful in the future." Xiao Xun'er looked at Ling Ying and said softly, "Brother Xiao Yan would not do this kind of thing only once."

"Yes!"

Ling Ying responded sternly. He didn't need his young lady's instructions. Ling Ying himself had been on high alert after the incident with the snake people. Who knew how Xiao Yan would find ways to die next time?

"Then let's just let this matter go."

Xiao Xun'er put her hands behind her back, her tone suddenly turned cold, she squinted her eyes and smiled, with a hint of darkness on her face, which made Ling Ying feel creepy.

He had roughly guessed what his young lady would ask next.

"Old Ling, in that cave in the Monster Mountain Range, when Brother Xiao Yan was alone with Sect Master Yun that night, did Brother Xiao Yan really not do anything?"

That’s what I’m asking!!!

As soon as Xiao Xun'er finished speaking, Ling Ying's clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Xiao Xun'er's eyes, and said affirmatively in an extremely firm tone.

"Please rest assured, young lady! I swear on my life! Young Master Xiao Yan has done absolutely nothing! It is absolutely true! If there is even a single lie in what I said, I will die as a token of my guilt!!!"

Ling Ying dared to swear to heaven that what he said was absolutely true, without any lies mixed in it!

It's just that some facts were concealed slightly.

But do you think Ling Ying can be blamed for this? Can he be blamed for hiding part of the facts? Does he dare to tell the part of the facts that he concealed?

Just the incident that night made Ling Ying very scared. He didn't dare to let Xiao Xun'er know. If Xiao Xun'er knew about Yun Yun's pregnancy, not to mention Yun Lan Sect, the entire Northwest Continent might be destroyed! Ling Ying himself would probably be implicated!

Therefore, Ling Ying could only hope that Xiao Yan would find a way to solve the problem later, although Xiao Yan didn't even know about it until now.

"Is it."

Hearing Ling Ying's confident answer, Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable and as if something was blocking her heart, she still believed Ling Ying's words.

After all, Ling Ying had sworn on her life, so it would be a bit unreasonable for me to not believe it. I was far away and didn't know what happened. Ling Ying had always been by Xiao Yan's side. Could it be that he didn't believe what she said but believed his so-called intuition instead? Then why did you ask her to report it?

What's more, Ling Ying was originally sent by the family to protect me, but now I secretly sent her to protect Xiao Yan. This was not her job in the first place, but you still doubted her because of your instinct. This is totally unacceptable.

And it's not just because she believes in Ling Ying, more importantly, Xiao Xun'er believes in Xiao Yan. She believes that her brother Xiao Yan would never do such a shameful thing. Even if something really happened between him and Yun Yun, it must be because of Yun Yun.

However, Yun Yun is the leader of the Yunlan Sect and a dignified Douhuang. How could she do such a thing to her disciple's fiancé?

Regardless of whether Xiao Yan would agree to this, Yun Yun herself couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. With the education she received, she would definitely not be able to do this.

Um! Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Xiao Xun'er nodded firmly, feeling certain about it in her heart.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's relaxed expression, Ling Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew. Fortunately, fortunately, this matter is finally over.

As for what happens in the future, we can only talk about it later.

Anyway, this matter is not a problem that a servant like Ling Ying can solve.

But people tend to become arrogant once they are proud, just like Ling Ying at this moment.

Yun Yun had managed to get away with this hurdle with great difficulty, so just shut up and listen to your own lady, instead of making such a rude remark.

"Miss, according to my observation, the Little Medical Fairy should also have feelings for Young Master Xiao Yan, so you should be careful."

"Ok?"

Xiao Xun'er raised her eyebrows slightly and interrupted Ling Ying's words. Her expression, which had just relaxed, darkened instantly. She glanced at Ling Ying lightly, and a smile without any smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Sorry, Mr. Ling, I was thinking about something and didn't hear clearly. What did you just say?"

".The old servant said nothing."

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's reaction, Ling Ying had no choice but to react. He secretly cursed himself for being too talkative.

Come on, just be obedient, why are you being so mean?!

Seeing Ling Ying was so tactful, Master Xiao Xun'er stopped worrying about this issue.

Of course, I just didn't bother about it, but I kept it in mind in my heart.

Silver teeth couldn't help but clench.

When Xiao Yan decided to go out for a trip, this was what Xiao Xun'er feared the most.

Xiao Yan's personality is so unique that it is easy to arouse the interest of others. After getting to know him in depth, they will feel from the bottom of their hearts how worthy of close friendship Xiao Yan is.

Just talking about the matter of Xiao Yixian, after what Xiao Yan did, not to mention women, even men would have a good impression of Xiao Yan.

Someone who, at the most desperate moment of his life, pulls you back from the brink of hell without fear of death and without asking for anything in return, tells you with words and actions how wonderful it is to be alive, and tries his best to prove that your life is far more precious than you think, who wouldn't be moved by such a person?

Moreover, Xiao Xun'er was sure that this little medical fairy was definitely not the last one.

But what made Xiao Xun'er most helpless was that the reason why Xiao Yixian liked Xiao Yan was also the reason why she liked Xiao Yan.

If he refused to admit Xiao Yixian's feelings for Xiao Yan, how could he prove his feelings for Xiao Yan?

I have a headache.

Xiao Xun'er rubbed her brows uncomfortably, and then sighed deeply.

"Mr. Ling." Xiao Xun'er put aside her feelings and asked Ling Ying softly, "Do you have any objection to me sending you to protect Brother Xiao Yan?"

"No."

Facing Xiao Xun'er's question, Ling Ying answered without hesitation this time.

"Even without your order, Young Master Xiao Yan is worthy of my protection."
