Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Little Medical Fairy knew in her heart that Xiao Yan had indeed won the favor of many people by relying on his righteous ways so far.

But what those people recognized was only Xiao Yan as a person, not Xiao Yan's right path, including himself.

Yunying is the only one who directly proposed that she wanted to deeply understand Xiao Yan's righteousness. No wonder Xiao Yan feels so enthusiastic about her.

If Yunying is really just innocent and interested in Xiao Yan's unique path, then the little medical fairy will naturally have nothing to worry about.

But I’m afraid Yunying has some other purpose.

"Speaking of which, Brother Yun, what does your family do?" Xiao Yan looked at Yun Ying with some curiosity, "I've heard you mention it before. Could it be that your family is very powerful in the Jia Ma Empire?"

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yan would definitely not take the initiative to inquire about other people's family background.

But Yunying was too special to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan could not resist the desire in his heart and wanted to know everything about Yunying. He wanted to know what kind of family could make a nobleman like Yunying, who could be seen to be extraordinary at first glance, so interested in his righteous path.

"It's a little difficult to explain our family." Yunying gently touched her beautiful chin with the folding fan in her hand, and after a moment, she unfolded the fan and covered half of her face. "To put it simply, our family is in charge of funerals."

"Funeral?"

Xiao Yan’s mind was full of questions. There was indeed a funeral industry in the Douqi Continent, but how big could the funeral business be?

It’s not that Xiao Yan looks down on the funeral industry. Xiao Yan himself respects death very much. No matter who you are, death is equal and it is the end of a person’s life.

But according to common sense, no matter how big the family that handles the funeral is, how big can it be?

"Ha~ It seems that Master Xiao has some misunderstandings." Yunying narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly. "Handling funerals is just a very general explanation of our family's business. If you want to be more serious, our family is spread all over the continent, and we specialize in holding funerals for those powerful people."

Yunying's words made Xiao Yan feel even more confused.

Specially organize funerals for the strong? Generally speaking, the strong have their own power. Do they really need a special family to help organize funerals?

Xiao Yan was just confused by Yun Ying's words, but Yao Chen's heart in the ring skipped a beat.

Why does it make me feel cold to hear about holding funerals specifically for the strong?

While feeling a chill in his bones, Yao Chen became more certain about Yunying's identity.

As for Xiao Yan's confusion, Yun Ying immediately gave an explanation.

"No matter how strong a person is, there will be a day when he will die, and what our family provides is just a small help."

"However, until the moment of death, those strong men still had no idea what their lives were for. Simply relying on the people around them to handle their funerals still made them feel uneasy."

"And our family came into being under such circumstances, to help those strong people to willingly accept death, and to help them find the meaning of life to the greatest extent possible at the end of their lives."

"Mr. Xiao should also understand that those who can be called strong must have many rare things on their bodies. They voluntarily offer these things before accepting death as a reward for our family's help in accepting their death. This is how our family was founded."

Yunying's explanation made Xiao Yan nod in sudden realization, while Yunying narrowed her eyes slightly, with a faint flash of light in her scarlet pupils.

I didn't lie.

We are just describing our family business in a more pleasant way.

Of course, what we said may have slightly beautified what our family did, but it does not matter, the result is the same.

Yunying suddenly closed her folding fan, looked at Xiao Yan and said softly.

"It is precisely because we have seen too many powerful people die meaninglessly that we are so interested in Mr. Xiao's righteous path."

"Mr. Xiao has very special qualities. At least in my short life experience, I have never seen any strong man with qualities similar to yours."

"And this special quality may be brought about by the righteous path that Mr. Xiao has always believed in."

After hearing Yunying's words, Xiao Yan's eyes revealed a look of realization.

If it was a family like Yunying, Xiao Yan could indeed understand why he would be so interested in his own righteous path.

Xiao Yan himself understood that his righteous path was strange and extremely rare in this continent, and after Yun Ying witnessed the deaths of so many powerful people, she found that no one had a righteous path similar to hers.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan frowned tightly, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he asked Yunying in a deep voice.

"Really? There isn't even one? A strong person like me."

"Yes."

In response to Xiao Yan's question, Yunying gave an affirmative answer.

"I am sure there is not even one."

"Is it."

After receiving Yunying's reply, the unwillingness in Xiao Yan's eyes quietly turned into disappointment.

Xiao Yan has always hoped in his heart that, among those many powerful people high up in the clouds, there will always be someone who practices the same righteous path as himself, and even if he is not recognized by others, he will still firmly walk on the righteous path.

Even if there is only one, it will do.

Yunying's words completely shattered Xiao Yan's fantasy.

But even though his fantasy was shattered, Xiao Yan only felt disappointment, not despair.

Xiao Yan had always understood that his expectations were likely to be shattered.

huh~~~

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

No, then there isn’t any.

It would be better to say that from the very beginning, Xiao Yan never expected anyone else to change the world.

The next second, determination appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes.

If no one else does it, then I will!

I must go all the way to the end and make the entire continent agree with my righteous path!

Feeling Xiao Yan's soul that was depressed at first and then excited, Yun Ying's interest in Xiao Yan became even stronger.

Right, that is it.

Do your best to move forward on your right path.

Let us see with our own eyes what your righteous path can change this continent into.

All you need to consider is whether you can persevere. Don't worry that you will die in the pursuit of the right path.

There were twinkling stars in Yunying's scarlet eyes.

Before your righteous path completely disappears, we will definitely protect you.

Chapter 234 Silence is the greatest sin

After walking around this high-end gathering, Xiao Yan did see quite a few rare items, but unfortunately, none of them were what he needed at the moment.

fair enough.

Xiao Yan shrugged lightly.

At least I don’t have to worry about where to get the money.

"Brother Yun." Xiao Yan looked at Yunying, smiled softly and invited: "If you have nothing to do next, can you go to a restaurant with me?"

In response to this, Yunying gave an immediate reply.

"Of course, that's what I mean."

After receiving Yunying's reply, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

But before that, he had to go and say goodbye to Frank and the others. After all, Frank was his guarantor, and it would be rude of course if he just left without saying goodbye.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan led the three people in the direction of Frank. After a few minutes, he saw Frank and others from afar.

But the scene seemed a little bit wrong.

"President Frank, it's fine if you bring your own apprentice here, but you secretly guarantee an outsider to come in. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

A middle-aged man with a hostile face stood in front of Frank. Frank looked normal. Otto next to him looked a little unhappy, but he was able to control himself.

But Lin Fei behind Otto was not so good-tempered. She pointed at the middle-aged man and cursed him without caring about the other party's identity.

"Bah! Master Frank is free to vouch for whomever he wants. It's none of your business!!"

"Lin Fei! Don't be unreasonable!"

Otto turned his head slightly and scolded in a low voice. Although his tone sounded very angry, it was obvious that he did not mean to blame him. He was just symbolically scolding his disciple for the sake of face.

It was obvious that Otto was not genuinely dissatisfied with his disciple's verbal abuse of the middle-aged man.

"Lin Fei, after all, the other party is the guild leader, please be polite."

Xue Mei, who was beside Lin Fei, held Lin Fei's shoulder and reminded her softly, but her cold eyes looked at the middle-aged man with unkindness in them.

Frank looked calm and spoke softly to the middle-aged man.

"President Kuro, my friend's disciple was a little outspoken. I hope you won't mind." Frank said softly, "Although her tone was disrespectful, there was nothing wrong with what she said. Who I vouch for is my own business. It has nothing to do with President Kuro."

"If President Kuro is genuinely concerned about me, then I would naturally thank you for your kindness."

"But if it is for other purposes, then I can only respond to you that you are worrying too much."

Although Frank's words were plain, they revealed overflowing determination and resistance, and the subtext was clear.

I don't need you to tell me how to do things!

"Haha~ Frank, I was just giving you a kind reminder as a colleague, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."

The middle-aged man called Kuro smiled coldly. It was obvious that he and Frank and his group did not get along at all.

Xiao Yan, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned slightly when he saw this scene, took a step forward, and bowed to Frank.

"Master Frank."

"Oh, Xiao Yan." Frank came back to his senses and glanced at Xiao Yan with a slightly relaxed look. "Have you finished your tour?"

"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't find what I needed. But I happened to meet a friend and was about to go to the restaurant to chat, so I came here to say goodbye to Master Frank."

After Xiao Yan said this, Frank nodded in satisfaction. He naturally knew why Xiao Yan came to say goodbye to him before leaving. Wasn't it because he was afraid that he, who had guaranteed him, would worry?

To be honest, although it was only a brief contact, Frank, with his many years of experience, did not find any faults with this young man Xiao Yan. This was really rare.

However, at this moment, an extremely discordant, sarcastic voice came from Xiao Yan's ears.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not that he didn't find what he needed, but that he didn't find the right time to act. After all, this place is not like those low-level gatherings outside. The anti-theft measures are very strict."

These words made everyone in the field frown. Xiao Yan also slightly side-glanced at Kuro, who had a sneer on his lips.

It was obvious that Kuro was not targeting Xiao Yan, but said this to squeeze Frank.

"you!!!"

As soon as Kuro finished speaking, Lin Fei's temper flared up immediately. Just as she was about to start cursing, Xiao Yan saluted Kuro first and asked in a serious tone.

"My name is Xiao Yan. May I ask what is this gentleman's name?"

"Ask me my name? Are you worthy of knowing it?"

Facing Xiao Yan's polite inquiry, Kuro's eyes were full of disdain and he curled his lips coldly, which made Xiao Yan's face a little colder, and Frank's expression, which had been indifferent, became particularly ugly.

This guy really doesn't give any face at all!

Kuro's behavior of disdain for Xiao Yan was undoubtedly a slap in Frank's face!

But no matter what, Kuro had already said these nasty words. In order to avoid making the situation even more awkward, Frank immediately took the initiative to introduce himself to Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, this is the president of the Alchemist Guild of Chisha City, Ku Luo. He, me and Lao Ao once studied under the same teacher."

After listening to Kuro's introduction, Xiao Yan nodded in understanding.

I see, they are old classmates. But it seems that Frank and Otto don’t have a very good relationship with their old classmate Kuro?

After understanding the relationship between Kuro and Frank, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Kuro again, and said in a serious voice.

"After all, I really have no right to step into this place. I rely on Master Frank's guarantee. As Master Frank's classmate, it is natural for you to worry about him. I understand."

When Xiao Yan said this, everyone was stunned, including Ku Luo.

Isn't it obvious what's going on between me and Frank? Do you really think I'm worried about him?

When Frank looked at Xiao Yan, the look of astonishment deepened, and then he revealed deep approval.

Being despised and even having his character doubted, Xiao Yan still did not get angry. Instead, he explained Ku Luo's unreasonable behavior in a way that sounded quite comfortable.

It seems that it's not just about refining medicine. Xiao Yan's temperament is much calmer than his and Otto's disciples.

Immediately, to everyone's astonishment, Xiao Yan continued.
