Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

I’m just afraid that Yunying has some other purpose.

However, no matter how much Yao Chen thought about it, it was of no use.

Yunying's strength did not allow her to resist at all, even if she was successfully resurrected and had the strength of her heyday.

Therefore, Yao Chen could only hope that Yunying would not do anything to Xiao Yan.

When Xiao Yan and his group passed through the bustling gathering outside and finally came outside, they felt the tranquility in their ears and their hearts couldn't help but feel a lot better.

Although Xiao Yan quite liked the bustling atmosphere of the market, staying there all the time would inevitably make him feel irritated because of all the noise.

"Brother Yun, let's go find a restaurant to sit down and have a good chat. It's already noon." Xiao Yan paused for a moment and turned to look at Xiao Yixian. "Xiao Yixian, do you know which restaurant in Jia Ma Holy City is better?"

"Do you think I know?"

Little Medical Fairy asked back with her arms folded, causing Xiao Yan to choke immediately. At the same time, he also realized how stupid his question was.

That’s right. This is the first time that Little Medical Fairy comes to the Holy City of Gama. How could she possibly know which restaurant is good?

Just when Xiao Yan was in embarrassment, Yun Ying gently waved her fan and smiled.

"Mr. Xiao, I know a good place. Please come with me."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Yun to lead the way."

Then, under the leadership of Yunying, the group walked for more than ten minutes and arrived at a restaurant.

Looking at the restaurant in front of him that was extremely luxuriously decorated and it was obvious at a glance that the consumption was not low, Xiao Yan's expression froze slightly, and he began to ponder secretly in his heart.

The thirty thousand yuan I have should be enough for me to spend here.

While he was doubting this, Xiao Yan suddenly realized how important money was.

Although Xiao Yan had always thought that having enough money was enough, it was embarrassing when he didn't have it when he really needed it.

Yunying seemed to have guessed what Xiao Yan was worried about. She closed the folding fan in her hand and said with a chuckle.

"Mr. Xiao, don't worry about the money. We will pay for it."

"How can this be? I'm the one who's going to treat you to a meal."

Before Xiao Yan could finish his words, Yun Ying pressed the folding fan in her hand lightly against his lips, stopping him from speaking.

Immediately, Yunying's scarlet eyes met Xiao Yan's black eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I left without saying goodbye before, and I wanted to find a chance to make amends. I hope Mr. Xiao can give me this opportunity."

Yunying slowly retracted the folding fan that was against Xiao Yan's lips, then lightly stroked her own lips nonchalantly, narrowed one eye on her handsome face, and said.

"Moreover, this mere fortune is nothing to us. If we can exchange it for a good chat with Master Xiao at the dinner table, it will definitely be worth it for us. I hope Master Xiao will not refuse."

"."

After hearing Yunying's words, Xiao Yan fell silent. He hesitated for a long time in his heart, and finally smiled helplessly.

"In this case, I will follow Brother Yun's wishes."

"Hmm~~~That's great."

Yunying still held the folding fan against her lips, her eyes slightly narrowed, and she smiled and nodded.

Immediately, Xiao Yan added.

"But next time, I will be the one to treat you. I hope Brother Yun will be able to honor me and attend the meeting."

"Of course, I cannot refuse Mr. Xiao's invitation." Yunying unfolded her folding fan and stretched out one hand towards the restaurant. "But we can talk about the future later. We should enjoy today. Please~"

At Yunying's invitation, Xiao Yan and his party entered the restaurant and were then arranged by the owner to stay in a private room on the second floor.

When the group was going upstairs, Xiao Yixian looked at the backs of Xiao Yan and Yun Ying, her eyes full of weirdness.

How should I put it?

It was obvious that both of them regarded each other as a confidant, and their words showed how much they valued each other.

In Xiao Yixiang's opinion, etiquette is something that is done for strangers to see. The closer the people are, the less they care about etiquette.

But why were they so formal in their conversation? They were so formal that they were stiff. They wouldn't be so formal even when talking to strangers, right?

The key is that neither of them thinks there is anything wrong with this, which feels too weird.

Yao Chen in the ring also noticed this problem and asked Xiao Yan in his heart.

(Xiao Yanzi, are you too polite to Yunying? Don’t you think highly of her?)

Although Xiao Yan did not know Yunying's true identity, at least in his heart he really valued Yunying and treated her as a close friend. With Xiao Yan's personality, he should not have faced Yunying with such a formal attitude. His overly restrained words and actions made him seem distant.

Yao Chen's question made Xiao Yan stunned for a moment, but after a while, he understood what Yao Chen meant.

Xiao Yan only realized this problem after Yao Chen raised it.

Yao Chen was right. If he really regarded Yunying as a close friend, he should not be so polite to him. Excessive politeness would make him seem distant.

Xiao Yan's politeness to Yunying was instinctive, but he really valued Yunying and truly regarded him as a good friend.

Why is this happening?

Xiao Yan couldn't help but think in his heart. He glanced at Yun Ying in front of him and stared at her for a few seconds.

Suddenly, he finally came up with the answer in his heart, and spoke to Yao Chen in his heart.

(Senior Yao, I really do like Brother Yun from the bottom of my heart and I truly regard him as a close friend.)

(Perhaps there is only one reason why the disciples were so reserved towards him.)

Xiao Yan paused, and then spoke slowly in his heart.

(That's my instinct as a disciple. I don't want Brother Yun to see any flaws in me.)

Chapter 236 Interesting Contrast

"Brother Yun! Let me toast you again! Cheers!"

"Dry!"

Little Medical Fairy held chopsticks in her mouth and looked at Xiao Yan and Yun Ying, who were happily drinking and chatting in front of her, with jealousy in her eyes.

From the beginning of the meal, Xiao Yan really focused all his attention on Yunying. The way the two of them were having a pleasant conversation made Xiao Yixian stunned.

Fortunately, up to now, Xiao Yan still doesn't know that Yunying is a girl. Even so, the relationship between the two is so close that Xiao Yixian can't stand it. If Xiao Yan knew Yunying's real gender, Xiao Yixian has no doubt that Xiao Yan would propose to her immediately.

Damn it.

Little Medical Fairy couldn't help but clench her fists, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Does that mean that in Xiao Yan's heart, I am not as good as a man?

Of course, no matter what Xiao Yixian thought in her heart, she also understood why Xiao Yan was so intimate with Yunying.

After all, Xiao Yan's so-called righteous path was really hard for people to agree with. Even though Xiao Yixian had seen many people who had a good impression of Xiao Yan and trusted him from the bottom of their hearts, she was sure that no one, including herself, truly and sincerely agreed with Xiao Yan's righteous path.

The only person they identified with was Xiao Yan.

As for people like Xiao Yan, who insists on the righteous path even if he does not gain any benefits, no one can truly agree with him.

Xiao Yan himself was well aware of this, and he had never forced others to stick to the same righteous path as himself. As long as it did not touch Xiao Yan's bottom line, Xiao Yan would only care about how he did most of the time.

And in this situation, Yunying appeared.

Perhaps Yunying is the only person Xiao Yan has met so far who truly agrees with his righteousness.

Xiao Yixian believed that if she wholeheartedly agreed with Xiao Yan's righteous path now, Xiao Yan's extremely intimate attitude towards Yunying might extend to her, and he might even propose to her.

But ah.

Xiao Yixiang covered her head with her hands in pain and lowered her head deeply.

I really can't agree with his righteous path from the bottom of my heart.

Yes, Xiao Yixian admires Xiao Yan very much, and she falls in love with Xiao Yan because of his integrity.

But for Xiao Yixian to recognize and achieve the same integrity as Xiao Yan, it might be impossible even in the next life.

Not only Xiao Yixian, how many people in the entire continent truly agree with Xiao Yan's righteous path and do it?

"Ugh"

Looking at Xiao Yan and Yun Ying who were still chatting enthusiastically in front of her, Xiao Yixian felt increasingly annoyed and sighed heavily.

"Sister Xiao Yixian, what's wrong with you?"

Qinglin, who was sitting next to Xiao Yixian and eating quietly, heard Xiao Yixian's sigh and turned to look at her in confusion.

Xiao Yixian did not answer, but just showed a helpless smile, reached out and gently rubbed Qinglin's head, stood up, glanced at Xiao Yan who didn't notice her at all, and walked towards the door with a depressed mood.

Go wash your face and get some fresh air. You'll get depressed if you keep reading this.

Under Qinglin's puzzled gaze, the little medical fairy left the private room, closed the door gently, and walked towards the sink.

Coming to the sink, Xiao Yixian splashed the clean water in the basin on her face. The cool temperature made her wandering mind a little clearer. Then she took out a handkerchief from her arms and gently wiped her wet face.

It’s no wonder that after being cooled down by the cold water, Xiao Yixiang’s depressed mood was relieved a lot, and she also felt emotional in her heart.

Meeting a like-minded person like Yunying is undoubtedly the greatest fortune for Xiao Yan, who is struggling to walk the righteous path alone.

On the contrary, he was definitely Xiao Yan's greatest misfortune so far. He was undoubtedly a burden to him and a responsibility that he should not have borne.

Xiao Yan has done so much for him. Now Xiao Yan has finally met the ideal person in his mind, but he feels so dissatisfied in his heart that he even resents Xiao Yan himself.

Really, it's so ugly.

Xiao Yan has his own life and the right to make his own choices. As a burden, I have no right to restrict him.

Just like what he said to Nalan Yanran before, do your best and show your affection to Xiao Yan as much as possible without hindering his own choice.

If Xiao Yan really does not choose her at that time, it only means that she and Xiao Yan are indeed not destined to be together in this life. There is nothing to say. Xiao Yixian will also silently wish Xiao Yan happiness in her heart.

Xiao Yixiang thought so in her heart. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, it was much better than the depressed mentality just now.

"Go back~"

The little medical fairy cheered herself up, turned around and left the sink.

However, after taking only two steps and passing a hidden corner, a man suddenly jumped out, grabbed the lower half of Xiao Yixiang's face with one hand, and pressed her against a wall where no one passed by.

Xiao Yixiang looked at the man in front of her with horror, her pupils suddenly constricted, and she immediately recognized who this man was.

It was exactly the unscrupulous stall owner that Xiao Yan had exposed at the rally earlier!

"Hehe~Finally, it's time to find the lone person!"

"Uh! Uh!!!"

Xiao Yixian tried to struggle hard, but her fighting spirit had been sealed and she was now just a small fighter. The man in front of her was indeed a fighting master, and she was not Xiao Yan, so how could she resist him?

"I'm sorry, miss, I don't want to do that either."

The unscrupulous stall owner held a dagger in his other hand, and the sharp blade was pressed against Xiao Yixian's beautiful chin, causing Xiao Yixian's body to suddenly tense up. She dared not move, and listened to the unscrupulous stall owner's next words in horror.

"Originally, it's just a business interruption, it's no big deal." The unscrupulous stall owner smiled sinisterly and whispered, "But since someone paid, I can't be blamed. Please, young lady, come with me."

"Well!!!"

Hostages! Threats!

This guy is coming for Xiao Yan!!!

The moment after hearing the unscrupulous stall owner's words, Xiao Yixian understood in her heart. She immediately ignored the dagger against her chin and began to struggle violently.

I was already a burden to Xiao Yan, and now I was being used as a bargaining chip to threaten Xiao Yan? !

A deep feeling of powerlessness emerged in the little medical fairy's heart, and along with it also emerged an extreme unwillingness!

Not to mention helping Xiao Yan, I am just a burden to Xiao Yan!!!

The unscrupulous stall owner noticed that the little medical fairy in front of him was clearly facing the blade but still began to struggle violently, which made a trace of panic on his face, and he whispered in annoyance.

"Don't move!" said the unscrupulous stall owner, waving the dagger in front of Little Medical Fairy's eyes, "You are a fair and clean little girl, you don't want any extra scars on your face, do you?"

"If you don't want this, just follow me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the Little Medical Fairy and the unscrupulous stall owner, and then a hand stretched out from the side and tightly grasped the arm of the unscrupulous stall owner that was holding the dagger.
