Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"But please rest assured, President Kuro. No matter what I think, I can at least assure you that I have not committed any theft during this period of time. If you are still worried, you can ask people to go to each stall in this gathering to inquire one by one. I will never leave without permission before the results are obtained."

"Xiao Yan, this."

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Frank's face changed and he stretched out his hand and wanted to say something.

Isn't this just like what Kuro slandered, that Xiao Yan really wanted to steal something but just didn't have the chance? Is Xiao Yan really not afraid of damaging his reputation?

However, before Frank could finish his words, Xiao Yan looked at him with a smile and said.

"Master Frank, I can only enter here under your guarantee. In this case, before I leave, I must accept your reasonable suspicion and prove my innocence through practical actions." Xiao Yan's tone suddenly became serious. "Master Frank, please rest assured. I assure you that I have never done anything disgraceful in this gathering."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Kuro, and then spread his hands to the gathering behind him.

"Please, President Kuro, you can go to each booth and ask. I will wait here and will not leave until I get the result."

"I would think that, given your sincere concern for Master Frank's reputation, you would definitely go and confirm it, right?"

Xiao Yan looked at Ku Luo, whose face was uncertain, and said this with a smile.

Oh my goodness! I was really wrong!

Frank and Otto's eyes sparkled, and they looked at Xiao Yan with admiration in their eyes.

All the words I said before, justifying all of Craw's unreasonable suspicions, were for this last sentence! It forced Craw to go to each stall and ask if anything was missing in the name of worrying about Frank's reputation.

But it's easy to say, how can you really do it? Who is not a well-known person in the Gama Empire's medicine industry? You, Kuro, the president of the Red Sand City Medicine Guild, disturbed every stall one by one, not buying anything, wasting people's time, just to ask if they were stolen. What kind of thing is this?

After all, he is a respectable person. If it was stolen, that would be fine. But if you ask someone like this when it is obvious that it was not stolen, you really look down on them, right?Isn't this the same as saying that someone doesn't react at all when something is stolen in front of them? How is this different from slapping someone in the face in public?Are people blind or mentally retarded?

Xiao Yan's words undoubtedly put Ku Luo on the spot.

Or, Kuro would go to the gathering and ask everyone one by one if anyone had lost anything, offend everyone, and then reluctantly admit in person that Xiao Yan did not steal anything.

Otherwise, Craw would leave in disgrace, silently admitting that he had judged others by his own standards, making himself lose face in front of his archenemies Frank and Otto, who might often use this matter to mock him in the future.

These two blocking ends are really great! Great!!!

What Frank and Otto could understand, Kuro could naturally understand as well. He clenched his teeth and stared at Xiao Yan with resentment in his eyes.

Damn you kid! How dare you embarrass me?!

Seeing Kuro's resentful look, Xiao Yan felt a little angry, but more of it was helplessness.

There are really quite a few people like this.

Although he was the one who started the dispute, he did not reflect on his own mistakes at all. He only thought in his heart that the other party embarrassed him.

As the president of the Alchemist Guild, he had such a narrow mind. This made Xiao Yan confirm one thing once again.

Whether a person's character is despicable has nothing to do with his identity or strength.

Such a despicable person will still be despicable no matter how high his status or how strong his strength is.

"Humph!!!"

Finally, Kuro glared at Xiao Yan fiercely, flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Obviously, of the two options given by Xiao Yan, Kuro chose the latter.

Although he felt resentful about losing face in front of Frank and Otto, offending everyone in the gathering was undoubtedly worse.

Out of consideration for his own interests, Kuro could only choose the latter.

"Just wait and see, kid!"

Kuro said this coldly and left quickly, fearing that Frank and Otto would say something else and make his already lost face even more humiliating.

Looking at Kuro's embarrassed back, Frank and Otto felt relieved.

Every time they meet, this guy likes to hang around in front of them and find fault with them for various reasons. Frank and Otto are not the type of people who like to quarrel with others, so most of the time they can only make a bland response.

But they never expected that Kuro, who came to trouble them again today, would lose all his face because of a few words from the junior Xiao Yan!

Not only Frank and Otto were full of praise for Xiao Yan, but even the medicine in the ring nodded with satisfaction.

(Well done, Xiao Yanzi. I thought you would tolerate this kind of guy unconditionally.)

It's no wonder that Yao Chen is so pessimistic. After all, this was how Xiao Yan handled things before. He only cared about whether he had a clear conscience and would not make too many excuses for other people's doubts. Because in Xiao Yan's cognition, those who believe will naturally believe, and no matter how much those who don't believe say, in their eyes it's just quibbling.

(Senior Yao, you are too kind.) Xiao Yan said softly in his heart, his tone slightly low, (It was only after the incident with the snake people that the disciple suddenly realized that unconditional tolerance for such people would only encourage their unrighteous arrogance.)

(Sometimes, silence is the greatest sin.)

Xiao Yan responded in this sincere voice in his heart, and Yao Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, very good~

It seems that the incident with the Snake People had a great impact on Xiao Yan. Not only did his view on strength change, but he also changed his mind about how to deal with people like Kuro.

A person's innocence cannot be based solely on having a clear conscience.

You have a clear conscience, but that may not be the case in the eyes of others.

Just as Xiao Yan said, silence is sometimes the greatest sin.

"Master Frank." Xiao Yan turned to face Frank, clasped his hands together and saluted him, with a hint of apology in his eyes, "I'm sorry that you have been implicated because of your guarantee for me."

"Oh, no way. That guy is like that. Even if he didn't guarantee you, he would still find other excuses to make trouble."

Frank waved his hand lightly, not thinking that Xiao Yan should apologize to him, because he knew Kuro's nature very well and could not blame Xiao Yan.

But Xiao Yan still did not intend to take back his apology.

"How he does it is his business. In my opinion, the guarantee you gave me has undoubtedly become a topic of conversation for him. Therefore, I hope you can accept this apology, otherwise I will feel guilty."

No matter how despicable Kuro was, Xiao Yan ultimately gave him an excuse to make things difficult for Frank, and this was an indisputable fact.

Frank was speechless at Xiao Yan's insistence, and finally nodded slightly.

"Okay, since you said that, I accept your apology."

Immediately, Frank and Otto looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This kid is too stubborn.

Chapter 235 Excessive Etiquette

"Good job!"

At this moment, Lin Fei suddenly rushed towards Xiao Yan and pushed Xiao Yan into her plump bosom without any hesitation.

Although she didn't quite understand why Ku Luo suddenly left in disgrace, she knew one thing, that is, Ku Luo was frustrated by Xiao Yan's words. His back looked as miserable as it could be, which was enough to make her favor towards Xiao Yan soar.

You know, Kuro is just a complete nuisance! Every time they meet, he mocks Frank and Otto overtly or covertly. After all, the other party is the president of the Alchemist Guild, and he is just a disciple, so it is impossible for him to curse without scruples.

Now that Xiao Yan has helped them vent their anger, Lin Fei feels so satisfied!

Of course, Lin Fei's affection for Xiao Yan was pure and simple, without any other desires mixed in. She hugged Xiao Yan into her arms only because she was too happy and followed her instinct.

But when Xiao Yixiang saw this scene, her head exploded instantly!

Her face looked extremely ugly, and she suddenly stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Yan out of Lin Fei's arms. Looking at Xiao Yan's red face and somewhat blurred pupils, the anger in the Little Medical Fairy's heart soared immediately!

But it's really hard to get angry.

Not to mention that this place is full of important people, she also saw from Lin Fei's actions that she had no other intentions towards Xiao Yan, she was just simply happy, and even her behavior was just instinct.

But! Little Doctor Fairy is still very unhappy!

Part of the reason is that Lin Fei's figure is indeed much better than Xiao Yixiang's.

Although not as good as Yafei, her breasts were also well-proportioned, which made Xiao Yixiang feel deeply frustrated in terms of women.

"Lin Fei! You're going too far!"

Xue Mei knocked Lin Fei's head unhappily and said, "I know you are very happy that Kuro was humiliated, but you hugged a boy you just met twice. How thick-skinned are you?"

Apart from this, Xue Mei was unhappy for the same reason as Xiao Yixiang, which was because of Lin Fei's figure.

After all, with her body which can almost be called skinny, she couldn't do something like showing off her breasts even if she wanted to.

If Xiao Yixiang only felt frustrated compared to Lin Fei, then Xue Mei was completely desperate when facing Lin Fei's figure, and she felt the injustice of God in her heart.

Damn the Creator.

"Pfft~"

Seeing this scene, Yunying couldn't help but laugh out loud with the fan against her lips.

Obviously, given his status, strength and experience, he should not laugh at such everyday things.

But for some reason, Yunying inexplicably found the scene in front of her very amusing.

It seems that even though Xiao Yan is very popular, he is still living in dire straits.

At this time, Xiao Yan finally came back to his senses from the excitement just now. He shook his slightly red face, looked at Lin Fei with some embarrassment in his eyes, and then looked at Frank.

"Master Frank, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

"Ah."

Frank nodded slightly, then frowned, took out a note from the ring and handed it to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan took it in his hand puzzled and looked at what was written on it.

It seems to be. Address?

Xiao Yan raised his head and asked Frank curiously.

"Master Frank, what is this?"

Frank did not answer Xiao Yan's question immediately, but turned the topic to Kuro who had just left.

"Xiao Yan, I know Ku Luo very well. You have offended him today, and he will definitely find ways to retaliate against you." Frank said, with a trace of disgust in his eyes. "Although he has a bad character, I have to say that he is quite prestigious in the alchemist circle. In addition, the Alchemist Conference is about to begin, so it is not impossible for him to do something to you."

"This note contains my current address in the Holy City of Gama. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to resolve, you can always come to me."

Although Frank knew that Xiao Yan was Nalan Yanran's fiancé, if anything really went wrong, he would not be needed at all, as the Nalan family would solve it themselves.

But no matter what, the reason why Xiao Yan offended Ku Luo had a lot to do with himself. Even if it was just to show an attitude, Frank had to do so.

In addition, Xiao Yan's character is truly rare. Frank has lived for so many years and has never seen many young people who can make him so satisfied. Such a young man will definitely achieve great things in the future, so it is a good choice for him to make close friends with him early.

After listening to Frank's words, Xiao Yan thought for a moment, and finally put the note away, while thanking Frank with a smile.

"I understand, kid. Thanks, Master Frank."

Xiao Yan also knew that if he really encountered any trouble that he could not solve, the royal family and the Nalan family would help him solve it, and it would not be Frank's turn to help at all.

But no matter what, this was Frank's expression of his love for him. Whether he could use it or not, Xiao Yan had to take it and not let down his kindness.

"Then Master Frank, we say goodbye."

Xiao Yan said goodbye like this, then turned around and slowly left with Xiao Yixian and the other two. Frank quietly stared at Xiao Yan's back.

"What a good guy." Otto beside Frank couldn't help but sigh, and then glanced at his disciple Lin Fei, "If we can receive such a disciple, we will be so lucky."

Although he has reached the level of a third-rank alchemist at a young age, Xiao Yan does not feel superior because of this. Instead, he is approachable and can take the initiative to stop bad behavior that has nothing to do with him. He also practices the best courtesy to others and speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly. When being verbally insulted and targeted, he does not show anger on his face, and can even turn around and stop the other party, leaving them speechless.

This kind of mentality and means of doing things are something that many people who have lived for most of their lives cannot achieve, but now it appears in a young man. It is really rare.

"Just say what you want to say. Why are you looking at me?" Lin Fei naturally noticed that her teacher cast his eyes on her when he said this, which made her feel very unhappy. "Teacher, if you think that this person is good, why don't you just accept him as your apprentice?"

"I would like to, but unfortunately I am not worthy of being someone's teacher."

Otto shook his head helplessly, and Frank nodded in agreement with what he said.

To be able to be Xiao Yan's teacher, not to mention his natural talents and abilities, his character must also be as upright and calm as Xiao Yan's, otherwise he would not be able to teach a disciple like Xiao Yan.

(A-choo!!!)

Xiao Yan, who had just left a high-level gathering, suddenly heard a sneeze coming from the bottom of his heart, and a look of deep doubt immediately appeared in his eyes.

(Yaku-senpai, can the soul body sneeze?)

(I’m not sure, maybe it was some old guy I know who was secretly plotting against me.)

Yao Chen's words were not just random remarks, but had solid basis.

Although he did make a lot of good friends during his lifetime, his reputation among them might not be that good. It was not surprising that people would often make up stories about him behind his back.

Of course, Yao Chen didn't care about it at all. She just tried to live happily without causing resentment from others.

As for what other people think of us? None of our business!

Thinking this in his heart, Yao Chen turned his attention to Yunying beside Xiao Yan, and frowned slightly.

It seems that this guy is really dependent on Xiao Yan. If it is really as she said, and she is simply interested in Xiao Yan's righteousness, then it's fine.
