Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Do I really deserve these praises?

Talented? That's what I was born with. At best, I'm just lucky.

Marshal Nalan's granddaughter? Isn't this also natural? Isn't this just luck?

I have not put in any effort at all for these two things that people praise me for, so why do I deserve other people's praise?

Young Master of Yunlan Sect? Nalan Yanran had worked hard for this position. If she hadn't worked hard, she wouldn't have been favored by Yunlan Sect, let alone accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun, and the title of Young Master would not have been given to her.

But in the final analysis, doesn't it still depend on one's own talent?

Work hard? Who wouldn’t work hard?

But if you are not born with this talent, what is the point of working hard?

Although Nalan Yanran understood these principles in her heart, slowly, under the praise of everyone, Nalan Yanran unconsciously ignored these factors, and began to be proud and complacent.

To put it simply, I became a little arrogant and gradually came to believe that I really deserved the praise from others.

However, after visiting the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony and seeing the fight between Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning, Nalan Yanran suddenly felt as if she had been slapped in the face and woke up from her dazed state.

After learning from Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Mei about their daily training content, Nalan Yanran completely sneered at her former self, and at the same time, Ya Fei's words lingered in her ears.

[Putting aside your family background, are you really comparable to Xiao Yan's brother? ]

These words have been echoing in Nalan Yanran's heart.

That’s right. Putting aside family background, can I really compare to Xiao Yan?

Do I really deserve the praise from people around me?

There are many people who have family background but no talent. These people will basically become the laughing stock of others sooner or later, just like Xiao Yan when his fighting spirit dissipated. The so-called family background is actually a burden to them.

There are even more people who have talent but no family background. Perhaps a few of these people can become well-known leaders, but most of them just become ordinary people, living a mediocre life.

And I, Nalan Yanran, have both a good family background and great talent, and can be said to be a darling favored by God.

The praise and recognition that others work so hard to get are just ordinary things to me.

I just started from a higher point than others, so how can I have the face to accept others' praise?

Am I well behaved? Am I polite? Am I well behaved?

That's what I should do, after all, I have such a family background.

I am practicing fast? I am better than ordinary people? I stand out from the crowd?

That's what I should do, after all, I have such talent.

These are what I should do because I have such a family background and such talents.

There is no reason at all to be praised for things that I should have done.

On the contrary, if you cannot do these things, you should be blamed.

Having a wealthy family background and outstanding talents, but failing to meet even the most basic requirements, one is truly a waste.

But this time, it's different.

Nalan Yanran could feel that these people's gratitude to her was not because of her family background, not because of her talents, and not because of what she should have done.

Instead, it was genuine, heartfelt gratitude and praise for helping themselves.

This sense of pride was something Nalan Yanran had never experienced before among all the praise she had received due to her natural conditions.

Nalan Jie glanced sideways, looking at Nalan Yanran's happy expression, and felt quite relieved.

That’s it, Yanran.

Sooner or later, you will understand.

It’s not because I’m from the Nalan family that I can become a marshal.

Instead, I tried my best to create various achievements so that others would think that the marshal should be someone from the Nalan family.

This order of sequence must not be confused.

Privileges should exist.

Important things should be entrusted to people who are worthy of trust.

Before you can do that, however, you must prove to others that you are indeed worthy of this privilege.

At the same time, you must also understand from the bottom of your heart that this privilege is both the power you possess and the shackles you bear. Do not use it as capital to do whatever you want.

Nalan Jie looked at Xiao Yan who was standing on the high platform, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Just like Xiao Yan, who was trusted by Jia Lao.

"We found Xiao Yan!"

At this time, Nalan Yanran also saw Xiao Yan on the high platform. She ignored the surprised looks from other audiences and waved her hands and shouted loudly.

"Xiao Yan! I'm here!!!"

Hearing Nalan Yanran's loud call to Xiao Yan on the stage, the audience talked a lot and all their eyes turned to Xiao Yan on the stage.

"That's Xiao Yan? Miss Nalan's fiancé?"

"He looks quite ordinary. I think I am more handsome than him."

"Come on, how can Miss Nalan choose someone based on appearance alone?"

"To be able to get engaged to the Nalan family, there must be something extraordinary about Xiao Yan."

Listening to the discussions of the audience around her, Nalan Yanran was very happy.

Talk~Keep talking~Speak more~

That's my Nalan Yanran's fiancé~~~

Although Nalan Yanran did not intend to win Xiao Yan's heart by relying on the title of fiancée, she was very proud to be discussed as an engaged couple, as if they were discussing a couple who were not yet married.

After winning the three-year agreement, they got married and entered the bridal chamber, and gave birth to a cute baby the following year. It was a smooth journey!

Looking at Nalan Yanran's smug expression mixed with a bit of fantasy, the little medical fairy on the side had an extremely ugly expression, with half of her face covered with black lines.

In her heart, she wanted to call out to Xiao Yan like Nalan Yanran, but she forced herself to hold back.

Nalan Yanran is Xiao Yan's legitimate fiancée, so it is natural and normal for her to say hello.

If I follow behind and greet Xiao Yan, I will inevitably be criticized, and there will definitely be people who spread the rumor that I have an affair with Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Yixian herself hopes that this is indeed the case.

No matter what, it doesn't matter if Nalan Yanran loses face, but Nalan Jie and Xiao Yan will inevitably be implicated.

Both Nalan Jie and Xiao Yan were people who risked their lives to help her, and Xiao Yixian didn't want to be an ungrateful person.

"call"

Xiao Yixian took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the unhappiness in her heart. She just gave Xiao Yan a faint smile. Qing Lin, who was standing beside her, also happily leaned on the stands and waved to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan naturally heard Nalan Yanran's call. He looked over and saw Xiao Yixian and others following him. He raised his hand and waved to them.

Yaoyue, who was standing by, saw this scene and couldn't help but make a joke.

"You and Miss Nalan seem to have a good relationship. Don't you disagree with this engagement?"

"I don't agree to this marriage, it's just because our identities and family backgrounds are really different, I'm afraid she will feel embarrassed at that time, I don't hate her personally." Xiao Yan said, scratching his face a little embarrassedly, "To be honest, my first love was Miss Nalan, although that was ten years ago."

To be honest, if Nalan Yanran heard what Xiao Yan said, she would probably jump to the sky with joy!

Not only are they an engaged couple, but they are also a mutual first love! How can I lose this? ! Tell me how to lose? ! !

As for Little Medical Fairy, if she heard it, her already bad mood would probably become even worse.

"Oh~~~I see." Yaoyue pinched her chin with interest and asked again: "If you put aside the issue of identity, do you want to marry Miss Nalan?"

"This... probably won't work either."

Xiao Yan pressed his neck lightly and smiled awkwardly.

"Ms. Nalan is of course an excellent person, but I don't think we are that compatible. We are fine as friends, but not suitable to be husband and wife. And I personally don't plan to consider getting married right now."

If it was Sister Yun Yun, then Xiao Yan would really like to marry her.

Of course, Xiao Yan couldn't say this to Yaoyue.

It would have been fine if I didn’t know Yun Yun’s identity before, but now that I know it, I can’t just talk about it casually, so as not to cause trouble for Yun Yun.

Whether in terms of strength or status, the gap between the two sides is so huge, so huge that it is almost impossible.

Hearing Xiao Yan's inner thoughts, Yao Chen almost couldn't hold it back.

The Yun Yun you thought was unattainable is actually pregnant with your child.

To be honest, every time Xiao Yan mentioned Yun Yun, Yao Chen felt even more guilty and warned himself in his heart.

The three-year agreement with Yun Yun must be fulfilled!

Not only for Xiao Yan and Yun Yun, but also for the baby in Yun Yun's belly!!!

Thinking of this, Yao Chen's brows suddenly frowned.

But then again, Yunlan Sect is indeed a problem now.

If the Jia Ma Empire really went to war with the Yun Lan Sect, with Yun Yun's personality, she would definitely not stand idly by.

It is even possible that they will do their best to protect the Yunlan Sect at that time.

Family affection and justice are often contradictory, and there is nothing wrong in choosing either side.

The key is to look at her and decide which side to stand on.

What a headache. How can such a small Gama Empire have so many troubles? !

Yao Chen's face was filled with sorrow. She used to be used to living a carefree life, without worries. She lived such a comfortable life. How could she have ever been troubled by such things?

Alas. Face it calmly.

Maybe it's because I lived too comfortably before, and even God couldn't stand it, so he created this trouble for me.

There’s nothing I can do, I’ll just consider it as paying off my debt.

At this moment, a man followed Xiao Yan and Yao Yue and stepped onto the platform amid the astonished gazes of the surrounding alchemists. He stood in front of the last stone table on the platform.

Immediately, the elegantly dressed and graceful man extended his hand to Xiao Yan.

"Nice to meet you, Xiao Yan."

"Ha." Xiao Yan looked at the blond man in confusion. Although he didn't know who he was, he still politely extended his hand and shook his hand. "Hello, who are you?"

"My name is Liu Ling, and I am a disciple of Dan Wang Gu He." Liu Ling introduced herself, with a hint of hostility in her pink eyes, "I am also Miss Yanran's suitor."

Chapter 246: Master and Disciple Defeat Together

"Liu Ling? He is Gu He's disciple?!"

"I heard that he became a third-grade alchemist at such a young age. That's really amazing."

"Although Princess Yaoyue is better, Princess Yaoyue is only thirteen years old this year, and she is also a third-rank alchemist."

"Wait, that Xiao Yan is also standing on the platform with Liu Ling and Princess Yaoyue. Is he also a third-grade alchemist?"

"No way, are all the third-grade alchemists so young now?"

Looking at the three people gathered on the high platform in the center of the venue, the audience couldn't help but start talking.

The little medical fairy in the exclusive audience seats of the Nalan family naturally heard the audience's discussions. She turned to look at Nalan Yanran and asked in confusion.

"You know him?"

Nalan Yanran's expression was a little unhappy at this time, and she waved her hand lightly in response.

"He is Elder Gu He's disciple. He has been pursuing me since we met. I have clearly rejected him but he still keeps pestering me. It's really enough."

"Oh~~~Is that so." Xiao Yixian nodded in realization, then chuckled and said, "I think he's quite handsome, and he's also Gu He's disciple. This status is definitely good enough for you. Why don't you just accept it?"

Of course, Xiao Yixiang's words were a bit of a sarcasm, and she didn't think that Nalan Yanran would accept her joking proposal.

But she didn't expect that Nalan Yanran didn't directly reject her, but asked her back.

"Then can you like him?"
