Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"He's just a bastard! If he wasn't an alchemist, he would have died hundreds of times! Today, the kid from the Xiao family has done a great job in getting rid of harm to the people!"

Having said that, no matter how much they look down on Liu Xi's character, Liu Xi has made an indispensable contribution in the fact that the Jialie family was able to snatch guests from the Xiao family.

And there is also the matter of the Rejuvenation Powder. Miter Auction House has promised to waive the medicinal material fee of the Rejuvenation Powder by 30%, but without Liu Xi, no one will be able to refine the medicine, and even if they buy the medicinal materials, they will be useless.

This gap must be filled quickly.

"Second Elder." Jialiebi turned his head and looked at Jialienu, the second elder of the Jialie family, and said in a cold voice: "Take people to invite Liu Xi's teacher and tell him that his beloved disciple was killed by the kid from the Xiao family. Our Jialie family will do our utmost to help him take revenge on the Xiao family."

"Yes!"

Chapter 27 I Know You Are In There

After leaving the Jialie family, Xiao Zhan first checked Xiao Yan's injuries. After confirming that he was not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and then clasped his fists to express his gratitude to Ya Fei.

"Ms. Yafei, thank you for helping me out today. I will remember this in my heart."

Although the Xiao family will have to pay 30% of the cost of the Rejuvenating Powder for the Jialie family free of charge in the future, this result is much better than a situation where both families will be destroyed.

And even if there was such a compromise, Galeb would definitely not accept it if Yafei had not mediated in the name of the Miter family.

Just as Galeb said, the reason why he accepted this mediation was more to give face to Yafei and the Miter family behind Yafei.

"Patriarch Xiao, don't worry about it. Just as Ya Fei said, if the two major families in Wutan City really fight to the point of both suffering losses, then Miter Auction House will inevitably be implicated. Ya Fei naturally cannot stand idly by."

Ya Fei's words were absolutely true. From a businessman's perspective, how much money could be earned from ordinary people? Therefore, most of the income from Mittel's auction came from the three major families in Wutan City.

If the Gale family and the Xiao family fight each other, the economies of the two families will inevitably be hit hard. The Milt Auction House relies on making money from the three major families in Wutan City. How can the Milt family bear the loss of two of them?

But no matter what, the main reason why Ya Fei intervened in the affairs of the two families was for Xiao Yan.

After all, what Xiao Yan did this time was indeed a bit too much. If the trouble continues, it will be extremely disadvantageous to Xiao Yan.

(But then again, this is the first time I've seen Xiao Yan do something so decisive.)

Ya Fei frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Yan on Xiao Yu's back.

The three years of getting along made Ya Fei deeply understand that Xiao Yan was by no means a person who did things without any sense of propriety. She had never heard of Xiao Yan doing anything without any room for maneuver.

The scene in the courtyard of the Jialie family just now really scared Yafei. It was good enough that Jialieo had all his limbs broken, but what was even more terrifying was that Liu Xi used such a miserable method. If the facts were not there, Yafei would never believe that it was Xiao Yan who did it.

(It seems that there are still some things about this brother that I don’t understand.)

Ya Fei thought about it, looked at Xiao Zhan and said softly.

"Patriarch Xiao, Ya Fei will return to the auction house first. I hope your son will recover soon."

"Ah, walk slowly."

Xiao Zhan bid farewell to Ya Fei, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan who was being carried by Xiao Yu, with a slight bitter smile on his face.

"This kid, this is the first time I've seen him be so ruthless."

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan who was sleeping on her shoulder with her beautiful brows slightly furrowed. Although she was shocked by Xiao Yan's brutal attack, there was another thing that Xiao Yu couldn't understand even more.

Xiao Zhan and her grandfather arrived a little late so they didn't know what happened, but she was at the scene and clearly saw the fight between Xiao Yan and Jialebi.

It's not that Xiao Yu didn't hope for Xiao Yan's best. It's no exaggeration to say that it was too abnormal that Xiao Yan's arm didn't break completely after that blow.

Xiao Yu knew that Xiao Yan had been training his physique since he was unable to cultivate his fighting spirit before, and his physique was indeed strong.

However, the gap between a high-level fighter and a low-level fighter is too huge and cannot be made up for by a strong physique.

And the most important point is that at the moment when Xiao Yan's fist collided with Jialebi's claw, Xiao Yu keenly noticed that a strange white light flashed on the ring on Xiao Yan's chest.

Although there was no clear evidence, Xiao Yu's instinct told her that Xiao Yan was able to avoid having his arm broken thanks to this white light.

What exactly is that?

With this question in mind, Xiao Yu carried Xiao Yan on her back and followed everyone back to the Xiao family.

Because the training camp had just ended today, the Xiao family members were all resting in their rooms after a long absence, so they didn't know what had just happened.

Otherwise, considering that the Xiao family members, with the Xiao family as the leader, saw Xiao Yan's miserable coma, they would probably all rush to the Jialie family to cause trouble.

"Xiao Yu, I just checked and Yan'er's injuries are not serious. He just needs to rest for a while." Xiao Zhan put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Yu and said slowly, "Those children just came down from the mountain and they also need to rest. There is no need to disturb them. I'll ask you to take care of Yan'er."

"Don't worry, clan leader, I will take good care of Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yu nodded and promised, then under the watchful eyes of Xiao Zhan and the Great Elder, he carried Xiao Yan to his bedroom, gently placed him on the bed, rummaged through the drawers in the house, found a medicine box, and carefully applied medicine to Xiao Yan.

Although it is not serious, I will still try to give him medicine if possible, just to be on the safe side.

After applying the medicine, Xiao Yu stripped off Xiao Yan's clothes, which had just been changed and were torn again, covered him with a quilt, pulled a chair from the table to the bedside, sat down slowly, and quietly looked at Xiao Yan's sleeping face.

After not seeing each other for a year, Xiao Yan's face had lost some of its childishness, and his resolute face made him look two or three years older than his actual age.

Although Xiao Yu was frightened by Xiao Yan's cruel behavior in the Jialie family just now, Xiao Yu did not feel the slightest fear of Xiao Yan. Instead, he felt warmth flowing into his heart.

Xiao Yan did this for himself.

When he came back, he was harassed by the Gale family in Xiaojiafang City. Thanks to his excellent strength, he did not let Galeo's gang succeed and returned safely.

According to normal people's logic, this matter should be let go.

After all, Xiao Yu was not hurt, and Galeo's gang was severely beaten up by Xiao Yu and the Xiao family guards, so it could be considered a punishment.

But Xiao Yan didn't think so.

Xiao Yu knew very well that when Xiao Yan told him that the Jialie family was trying to kidnap him, the first thing he thought of was definitely another consequence.

What if Xiao Yujie didn't beat them? What if Xiao Yujie was really kidnapped by Galeo and his men? What if something really happened to Xiao Yujie?

Xiao Yan must be afraid of this.

And this is why he is so angry.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan, smiled slightly, and reached out to gently stroke Xiao Yan's face.

For Xiao Yan, if something really happened to him, it would be too late by then, and no matter how much he did, it would be irreversible.

Just like that time, the first and only time he showed his brutal side in front of the Xiao family members.

Oh no.

Xiao Yu corrected himself in his heart.

Including today, these are the only two times.

But it’s different from the last time. The last time was for all the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family, but this time, it’s just for himself.

(I feel a little happy when I think about it~)

Xiao Yu smiled softly and looked at the sleeping Xiao Yan with gentle eyes.

It is because you are such an outstanding boy who is always by my side that I can't look down on any other man in the school~

Suddenly, Xiao Yu caught a glimpse of the ring on Xiao Yan's chest, which reminded her of the strange white light she had seen in the Jialie family before, and her brows furrowed tightly.

She knew that this ring was a relic of Xiao Yan's mother, so there shouldn't be any problem with it.

However, there was something that should have been noticed but was not noticed, which made Xiao Yu have to doubt.

The time when Xiao Yan lost his fighting spirit coincided with the time when he started wearing this ring!

In other words, the reason why Xiao Yan lost his fighting spirit three years ago was most likely closely related to this ring!

Xiao Yu supported the bed with one hand and gently lifted the ring on Xiao Yan's chest with the other hand. She had a bold guess in her heart.

If it was really this ring that absorbed Xiao Yan's fighting spirit before, and if it was really this ring that protected Xiao Yan in the Jialie family just now, then this ring is very likely to have self-awareness!

With this guess in mind, Xiao Yu stared at the ring and said in a cold voice.

"Come out, I know you're in there."

Chapter 28: Clear grudges

Cou! Did this girl find me? !

Hearing Xiao Yu's confident words, Yao Chen was slightly stunned, and then he thought about where he had revealed his flaws.

After thinking about it, Yao Chen could only think of the moment when he had just protected Xiao Yan in the Jialie family.

But there was really no other way. If I hadn't protected Xiao Yan in that situation just now, Xiao Yan wouldn't have been able to sleep so peacefully as he is now.

Thinking of this, Yao Chen couldn't help but feel speechless towards Xiao Yan.

You are really reckless boy. A high-level fighter's angry attack, and you, a small fighter, have the courage to confront him. I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat. Without my help, I'm afraid all the bones in your body would have been broken.

But no matter what, it has been exposed, and this is an established fact.

Fortunately, after Yao Chen's observation, although Xiao Yu had a slightly bad temper, she was a sensible girl who knew what was important. She was much better than Xiao Mei, who had a noisy personality.

Although Yao Chen wanted to avoid being exposed as much as possible, Xiao Yu had already called him out in such a firm tone. If he continued to pretend to be dead, it would make him seem ungenerous.

Thinking of this, Yao Chen's figure slowly emerged from the ring. He looked at Xiao Yu's head helplessly in mid-air. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yu's next words made Yao Chen suddenly stunned.

"I really have a problem with my brain. How can a ring have self-awareness?"

Xiao Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, gently loosened the ring on Xiao Yan's chest, and sat back in the chair.

At this moment, Xiao Yu seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye. He raised his head slightly and saw a shadowy woman with a dull expression and beautiful appearance floating in the air.

Who is this?

Xiao Yu just stared at Yao Chen in a daze, and Yao Chen also stared at Xiao Yu in a daze. The two of them just stared at each other in silence, and there was a bit of awkwardness in the air.

Compared to the silence in the room, Yao Chen had already started to complain crazily in his heart.

I guess you were just saying it casually?! Then could you not use such a confident tone?

Xiao Yu was also confused at this time. He just said it casually and never expected that such an unexpected thing would actually pop up.

Faced with this situation, the first thought emerged in Xiao Yu's mind.

This woman is so beautiful.

Yao Chen's appearance was absolutely beyond description with words like "beauty that can dwarf the moon, shame the flowers, sink the fishes and make the geese fall". Even Xiao Yu, who was also a woman, couldn't help but be attracted by her.

Such beauty was completely beyond Xiao Yu's comprehension, and even made Xiao Yu mistakenly believe that he had not woken up yet.

Finally, after the two looked at each other in silence for a long time, Yao Chen gently raised his jade hand and broke the silence first.

"Well, girl, I'm just an illusion, don't mind it."

As he said this, Yao Chen's figure began to gradually disappear. Xiao Yu reacted immediately, stood up abruptly and glared at Yao Chen.

"Don't give me that! How can an illusion be so real?!"

"That's because you are so inexperienced. There are many illusions on the Douqi Continent that are more real than ours. It's not uncommon."

Yao Chen shook his finger slightly to correct it, then waved his hand gently.

"We sincerely wish you a good dream, see you later"

“Stop it!!!”

Seeing that Yao Chen's figure was about to disappear completely, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped her and pointed at her angrily.

"You were the one who caused Xiao Yan's fighting spirit to fade away, right?!"

"That's too harsh. We're just borrowing his energy to fight with him. Why would we use such harsh words as 'making trouble'?"

Yao Chenqing spread his hands, his face full of helplessness, which made Xiao Yu grit his teeth in anger.

"Taking something without permission is stealing! Don't you understand this?!"

Three years! During the three years when Xiao Yan lost his fighting spirit, although everyone in the Xiao family comforted him, how many people in the entire Wutan City treated him as a laughing stock? !

Even in other cities, countless people knew that the former Xiao family genius had become a waste!!!

Although Xiao Yan never showed any expression on his face, everyone in the Xiao family understood deeply how lonely Xiao Yan was in his heart!

And all this is because of the medicine in front of him!

Looking at the angry Xiao Yu in front of him, Yao Chen scratched his face lightly, but was unable to refute.

Speaking of this matter alone, I am indeed the one who is wrong, and there is no denying that.

Just when the situation was about to become awkward, Xiao Yu, who had been indignant just now, suddenly calmed down, looked at Yao Chen in the air and spoke slowly.

"So, as expected, you were the one who helped Xiao Yan when he was fighting with Jia Liebi just now, right?" After saying that, Xiao Yu bowed her head in front of Yao Chen's slightly surprised gaze, "On behalf of Xiao Yan, I would like to thank you."

"You little girl, you looked like you were going to get to the bottom of this matter with me just now."
