Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Facing the furious Otto, Lin Fei didn't care at all. She stuck out her pink tongue, turned around and went to chat with Xue Mei, which made Otto so angry that he trembled all over. But he couldn't lose his temper in front of all the important people here, so he could only hold it in.

"This girl! I have to teach her a lesson when I get back! Otherwise, she will rebel in the future!!!"

Otto cursed under his breath in frustration, and Frank patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"Okay, Old Ao, that's Lin Fei's personality. It's useless to get angry." Frank then looked at Xiao Yan and apologized calmly, "I'm sorry, Xiao Yan, Lin Fei doesn't have any bad intentions. She just speaks without restraint. Don't bother with her."

"Master Frank, don't worry. I don't take it seriously."

Xiao Yan responded with a smile. To be honest, Xiao Yan was indeed unhappy when Lin Fei commented on his appearance first, but his unhappiness was dispelled when she thanked him on behalf of Xue Mei.

A person who can thank a stranger on behalf of his friend must not be a bad person. From what he can see now, Lin Fei is really just like Frank said, just a girl whose words are a bit annoying. Given Xiao Yan's personality, he naturally won't care.

Faced with Xiao Yan's magnanimity, Frank smiled and nodded, speaking slowly.

"After this exchange just now, I have almost concluded that you are not a troublemaker. As a thank you, you can use me as a guarantee and go around here to see if there is anything you like. After all, there is only a chance to see so many high-level alchemists gathering before the Alchemist Conference."

"I would like to thank Master Frank." Xiao Yan once again clasped his fists to thank Frank and turned his gaze to Xue Mei, "Miss Xue Mei, I have to excuse myself first."

"Ah."

Xue Mei nodded slightly, and then Xiao Yan took Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin to stroll around this high-end gathering. Xue Mei quietly looked at Xiao Yan's receding back, and no one knew what she was thinking in her cold eyes.

"Hehe~ Snow Charm."

Seeing Xue Mei's dazed gaze, Lin Fei giggled and put her arm on her shoulder, raised her arm slightly and raised her little finger.

"Are you interested in that boy?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Xue Mei denied it immediately and glared at Lin Fei unhappily, "Didn't you see that there was a girl of the same age following him?"

"So what? Can't we just pry it open and be done with it?"

Lin Fei waved her hand lightly, her tone was very matter-of-fact, which made Xue Mei speechless. She lightly touched her brow and shook her head.

This good friend of mine is good in every way except that he speaks whatever he wants without any scruples. Sooner or later, he will offend others because of this mouth.

At this time, Frank frowned slightly, stroked his beard and murmured.

"By the way, I seem to have heard the name Xiao Yan somewhere before. Where?"

"Oh, I remember now." Otto hammered his hand and looked at Frank. "General Nalan's granddaughter's fiancé seems to be called this name?"

"Oh! Yes, yes, I remember it too."

Frank suddenly realized, and when Xue Mei and Lin Fei heard this, their expressions became a little strange. Lin Fei looked at Xue Mei and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The girl behind him is Nalan Yanran?"

Lin Fei's words were full of doubts. After all, Xiao Yixian's temperament didn't look like that of a young lady no matter how you looked at it.

"No." Xue Mei shook her head slightly and replied slowly: "He introduced the girl to me and said her name was Little Doctor Fairy."

"what?"

Lin Fei grinned and tilted her head slightly.

"Could it be that Xiao Yan secretly ran out to date Xiao San?"

Boom!

As soon as Lin Fei finished speaking, Otto finally couldn't help it and hit her on the head with a chestnut, causing Lin Fei to cover her head in pain. Immediately, Otto scolded her.

"You little girl! Be more careful with your words! Can you just say that?!"

Otto was really furious. What are you making up about General Nalan's family? Besides, do you know the truth?

"I'm just curious, why are you so angry?"

Lin Fei curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and Otto glared at her unhappily.

"You have to be curious about someone, don't just say whatever you want!"

"Yes"

This time Lin Fei didn't talk back. She also realized that what she had just said was indeed inappropriate. After all, Lin Fei was just a gossiper. If her gossiping really brought unnecessary trouble to others, she would feel very guilty.

Xue Mei frowned slightly as she looked at Lin Fei, who bowed her head to admit her mistake.

After the brief contact before, Xue Mei could basically conclude that Xiao Yixian really liked Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan only regarded her as a friend.

As for the relationship between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, Xue Mei didn't think that the Little Medical Fairy was completely unaware of it.

Thinking of this, Xue Mei's mouth twitched slightly.

In other words, is it very possible that Xiao Yixiang was still following Nalan Yanran even though she knew about his existence?

Xue Mei was full of curiosity, but that was all.

After all, this is their own business, so as an outsider, I shouldn't meddle in it.

At least in this respect, Xue Mei is much better than Lin Fei.

On the other side, Xiao Yan took Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin to wander around the gathering, looking for something they needed.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came into Xiao Yan's ears.

"Master Xiao."

Chapter 233 I Will Protect You

"Um?!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Yan turned his head abruptly and saw a familiar figure in white walking towards him.

He is graceful and elegant, with a handsome appearance that makes people feel good about him. There is a hint of cynicism in his red pupils, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised to reveal a free and easy smile. He is playing with a folding fan in his hand. She is Yunying, whom Xiao Yan considers to be a close friend.

"Brother Yun!"

Seeing Yunying, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly became happy, while Yao Chen in the ring had a frown on his face.

It's this guy again. He's haunting us.

Yunying opened her folding fan, narrowed her eyes slightly, tilted her head and chuckled.

"What a chance encounter. I didn't expect to see Master Xiao here."

These words are lies.

Ever since the incident with the snake people, she has never left Xiao Yan, so it was naturally not a matter of chance encounter.

Immediately, Yunying glanced at the Little Medical Fairy.

"Miss Xiao Yixian, how are you?"

"Ah."

The Little Medical Fairy nodded slightly and did not give any further answers.

To be honest, she and Yunying were not very familiar with each other, and for some reason, Xiao Yixian always had a sense of resistance towards Yunying deep in her heart, and this feeling of resistance became more and more serious the more times she met Yunying.

It's not like getting close to other women like Xiao Yan, she's afraid that something will happen between Xiao Yan and Yunying. After all, in Xiao Yan's cognition, Yunying is a man, and Xiao Yixian doesn't think Xiao Yan really has a preference for men.

But Yunying was very confused and gave Xiao Yixiang a very fake feeling.

As for what aspect of it was fake, Xiao Yixiang couldn't tell.

This feeling was especially obvious when she stood with Xiao Yan.

On the surface, the two seemed to be like-minded and had a pleasant conversation. Yunying also agreed with Xiao Yan's righteousness in her words and deeds.

But in Xiao Yixian's eyes, Yunying seemed to be the opposite of Xiao Yan, the extremely pure one, and among all the people Xiao Yixian had met so far, no one could be so thoroughly opposed to Xiao Yan.

Perhaps Yunying did not agree with Xiao Yan's righteous path, but was simply [interested] in his righteous path.

This feeling had no evidence at all and was just pure intuition, so Xiao Yixian didn't dare to mention it to Xiao Yan.

Not to mention what the little medical fairy was thinking, Xiao Yan did not have any doubts about Yunying's words. He took two steps forward and came to Yunying with a happy smile on his face.

"I didn't get to thank Brother Yun in person for helping me before, and I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Haha~ Mr. Xiao, you are too polite." Yunying narrowed her eyes, smiled and waved her hands, "With our limited strength, we couldn't help at all in the Snake Tribe incident, so how could we be grateful for your help?"

"Brother Yun's ability to go to the Snake Tribe without fear of hardships is the greatest favor to me."

Xiao Yan said solemnly, it is not surprising that when one has the strength, one can take it out casually.

On the contrary, people like Yunying, who knew that they were not strong enough but were still willing to take risks for their friends, regardless of whether they were able to help in the end, in Xiao Yan's opinion, this kindness was far more valuable than the kindness of those strong men.

When Yao Chen heard what Xiao Yan was thinking, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Insufficient strength? If she is not strong enough, then there is no one strong enough on this continent.

Not to mention the Gama Empire and the Snake People, even if the entire Northwest Continent were united, it would be difficult for them to withstand Yunying's casual wave of the hand.

Of course, with Yunying's threat, Yao Chen could only keep these words to himself.

Really, it's frustrating.

At this time, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yunying with some surprise.

"Brother Yun, have you been promoted to Grand Fighter?"

There was a look of complete astonishment in Xiao Yan's eyes. You know, the last time he saw Yunying, she was only a five-star Dou Master, but after just a few days of not seeing her, she had already become a Grand Dou Master?

"I just borrowed the secret medicine from my family. It's not a real skill."

Yunying gently shook the folding fan in her hand. There was no smug look on her face, but a hint of helplessness flashed in her heart.

There was no way. Xiao Yan's combat effectiveness had already improved far beyond Yunying's expectations. With a Dou Shi like Xiao Yan who could kill Dou Ling in seconds and was even on par with Dou Wang, it would be difficult to stay around him without improving his strength. If Yunying hadn't been afraid that improving too much at once would arouse Xiao Yan's suspicion, she would have wanted to improve her strength directly to Dou Wang.

But then again, everyone Xiao Yan knows has super-normal combat power, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to display a little bit of strength that far exceeds their level, right?

Thinking back to Xiao Ji and Xiao Li, Yunying's eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

It was already surprising that the long-deceased Xiao clan had Xiao Yan, a person with super-normal combat power. No one expected that Xiao Yan's eldest sister and second sister were no less capable. And according to the reports from his subordinates, it seemed that other younger generations of the Xiao family were in a similar situation.

It is true that even if the Xiao family bloodline had not declined, the combat effectiveness would not be so outrageous. How did the Xiao family train?

The above thoughts flashed through Yunying's mind, and she immediately forgot about the extraordinary combat power of the younger generations of the Xiao family.

At first, she was interested in Xiao Yan because of his extraordinary fighting ability.

But now, she no longer had any interest in Xiao Yan's extraordinary combat ability, because Xiao Yan possessed another quality that made her pay more attention to him.

What kind of environment can cultivate such a unique and upright character as Xiaoyan?

In response to this question, Yunying looked through Xiao Yan's entire resume from birth to the present, but could not find the reason.

In the end, Yunying could only regard Xiao Yan's integrity as innate.

Perhaps this is Xiao Yan’s unique talent.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, why is Brother Yun here?"

Xiao Yan spread out one hand and asked softly. Under normal circumstances, this is a gathering that only high-level alchemists can enter. Although Xiao Yan values ​​Yunying very much, Yunying should not be able to enter, right?

In response to this, Yunying also gave the reason that she had thought of in advance.

"It's just because my family has a little prestige, and I just came here to hang out when I have nothing to do."

"That's it."

Xiao Yan nodded in understanding and then invited him.

"I am also looking for what I need here. If Brother Yun doesn't mind, can you come with me?"

To be honest, Xiao Yan's attitude towards Yunying has far exceeded the level of enthusiasm.

This is natural. Xiao Yan has decided to follow the righteous path since he was a child. This is the first time he has met someone who is so interested in and recognizes his righteous path. Xiao Yan cannot tell how much he values ​​Yunying.

Yunying naturally knew what Xiao Yan was thinking, and she also sighed in her heart.

It seems that no one has ever truly recognized Xiao Yan's righteous path before him, otherwise Xiao Yan's attitude towards him would never be so enthusiastic.

Yunying thought so in her heart, then she put away her folding fan and smiled.

"Mr. Xiao is so kind, so we will naturally agree."

Afterwards, Yunying walked around and chatted with Xiao Yan and the other two in the gathering. They talked the most about the righteous path that Xiao Yan followed, and most of the questions were asked by Yunying herself.

It can be seen that Yunying is really interested in Xiao Yan's righteous path.

But the more Yunying did this, the more uncomfortable the little medical fairy felt as she pulled Qinglin behind the two of them.

Can Xiao Yan's righteous way really interest someone to this extent?
