Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

I know. Of course I know.

I am just a burden now, a burden that cannot help Xiao Yan at all.

However, the idiot Xiao Yan was unwilling to give up this burden no matter what.

It's just, really stupid.

The Little Medical Fairy gritted her teeth slightly, and the unwillingness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

No one wants to be a burden for a lifetime, especially to someone special.

At this moment, Xiao Yixian was even more eager to become stronger.

Chapter 258 The Storm is Coming

With the cooperation of the army and the three major families in the Holy City of Gama, it took two days for all the residents in the Holy City of Gama to evacuate. They set up camp in an orderly manner under the management of the army and carried out the so-called evacuation exercise.

Although the residents who did not know the truth were confused, they did not have too much dissatisfaction. After all, they had all the necessary supplies, a place to sleep, and they would not starve, so they just treated it as camping for two days.

But those who knew what was about to happen were all nervous and terrified about what was about to happen.

Today is the third day since the evacuation drill order was issued, and it is also the day for the rehearsal of the three-year agreement between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan!

Early in the morning, when most residents were still asleep, the soldiers followed orders and placed projection crystals at multiple angles throughout the camp. The projection location was exactly the venue of the previous Alchemist Conference.

"Isn't that where we played earlier?"

Lin Fei looked at the scene in the air in surprise and glanced sideways at Otto.

"Teacher, what does the royal family want to do?"

"Don't ask too many questions, just watch quietly."

Otto reprimanded in a deep voice, while Frank beside him frowned tightly.

Soon, the moment that will determine the future fate of the Gama Empire will begin.

Xue Mei looked at the scene quietly with her cold eyes, and her heart unconsciously became nervous.

"Damn it! Xiao Yan and Yan Ran are performing their three-year agreement, and I can't even watch from the sidelines."

Liu Ling looked downcast. Originally, he attached great importance to the three-year agreement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, and he was also very confused about the outcome of the competition.

I hope Xiao Yan wins, but then Nalan Yanran will lose, and she will definitely be very sad, and Liu Ling doesn't want to see that.

I hope Nalan Yanran wins, but then Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran will get married, and Liu Ling doesn't want to see that!

"Damn it. What should I do?"

Liu Ling pulled her face sideways and started rolling on the ground, causing Yaoyue, who was standing next to her, to show disgust on her face.

"It's just an audition. To put it bluntly, it's a competition without cost. It's just under the name of a three-year agreement. Don't take it seriously."

"Yeah! It's just an audition!"

Yaoyue's words made Liu Ling sit up suddenly. Her expression once again showed her usual confidence. She took out a comb from her arms and tidied up her messy hair, muttering to herself.

"Really? It's all Xiao Yan's fault. He made me so panicked and even messed up my hair."

"."

Yaoyue was even more speechless.

You are putting the blame on someone too far away. What does this have to do with Xiao Yan?

Yaoyue looked at the screen again, then thought of something and asked Liu Ling.

"Liu Ling, I heard that Mr. Gu He officially joined the Yunlan Sect. Is that true?"

"Ah? Oh, it's true." Liu Ling was stunned at first, and replied softly: "Teacher seems to have been promoted from a guest elder to a grand elder of Yunlan Sect."

Liu Ling said this and nodded proudly.

"As expected of a teacher, he just gave it to Yun Leng!"

After hearing Liu Ling's answer, Yaoyue frowned even more tightly.

Although Liu Ling is Gu He's disciple, his class is still a bit low, so he naturally doesn't understand the weirdness of this matter.

But Yaoyue grew up in the royal family, and she knew very well that a position of the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect could not be changed at will with the Sect Master's word.

Even if there is a change, in terms of the right to speak, the new elder will not be able to surpass the former elder in a short period of time. The power of the former elder is reflected in the hearts of every disciple of the Yunlan Sect, and this power will not disappear immediately after being dismissed.

In other words, even though the current grand elder of the Yunlan Sect is Gu He, if Yun Leng speaks, most of the Yunlan Sect disciples will still listen to Yun Leng.

Not to mention Yun Leng, Gu He's say is far less than that of the other three elders of Yunlan Sect.

The title of the Great Elder Gu He is just a nice name. To put it bluntly, to the Yunlan Sect, he is just a prestigious vase.

Yun Yun should be clear about this.

If that’s the case, at this critical juncture, why did Yun Yun promote Gu Hezhao to the position of Grand Elder?

Just when Yaoyue was confused, a steady voice sounded in her ears.

"This kid Furukawa has really changed."

Yaoyue turned her head and saw Liu Ling's expression changed. She didn't even bother to comb her hair and quickly stood up straight.

"President Fa Mammoth!"

Seeing Liu Ling's overly respectful attitude, Fa Ma smiled kindly.

"Don't be so nervous, just be casual."

At this time, Yaoyue looked at Fa Ma in front of her, frowned, and asked softly.

"President Fa Ma, what did you mean just now?"

Fa Ma shook his clothes lightly and answered slowly.

"In the past, Gu He would avoid such things that require him to take sides and would never stand up and cause trouble."

That's right, it's just asking for trouble.

The chief elder and the guest elder both sound like elders, but the difference between them is huge.

The guest elder is just a figurehead. He can stay if he wants to, or leave if he wants to. Even if the Yunlan Sect is destroyed, it has nothing to do with the guest elder.

But the Great Elder is different. When Gu He becomes the Great Elder, it means that he is indeed a member of the Yunlan Sect.

Gu He had no reason to get involved in the struggle between the royal family and the Yunlan Sect. He could have stayed away from the struggle like Fa Ma and waited until the outcome of the struggle came out before making a choice.

Even if the alchemists are fence-sitters, no one will say anything. They are like the prize for winning, and whoever wins will get the alchemists.

Moreover, given Gu He's personality, he would not completely stand on one side and completely oppose the other side.

Gu He would never do such a thing that would offend someone to death.

Gu He is not an idiot who knows nothing. He must know what it means to accept Yun Yun's invitation and become the grand elder of Yunlan Sect under such circumstances. Even if he has no say in Yunlan Sect, just a title is enough.

In the hearts of the alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire, he is the authority.

But in the hearts of everyone in the Gama Empire, Gu He is the top alchemist in the Gama Empire.

As long as he goes to the Yunlan Sect, many people with unsteady positions will inevitably turn to the Yunlan Sect.

It would be fine if the Yunlan Sect won this fight, but if it lost, the royal family would not let him go so easily, even if he was the King of Pills.

How could Furukawa not know this truth? He definitely knew it!

But even though he knew it, he still made this choice.

As for the reason why he chose Yunlan Sect.

Fa Ma raised his head and looked at the scene in the air, his old eyes narrowed slightly.

We can only know after the game starts.

The venue of the Alchemist Conference in the Holy City of Gama.

In the backstage, a man whose fighting spirit had been sealed was tied up with ropes all over his body. He curled up against the wall like a frightened animal.

This person is Mo Cheng.

At this moment, Mo Cheng's eyes were filled with fear. He looked at the man squatting in front of him, Jia Xingtian, with fear.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mo Cheng." Jia Xingtian laughed softly, his eyes flashing with coldness, "Thank you for coming all the way from the Tagor Desert to do such a kidnapping."

Jia Xingtian reached out and patted Mo Cheng on the shoulder. The smile on his face seemed so cold to Mo Cheng.

"Thank you for your courage and for contributing to the Yunlan Sect."

? ! ! !

Hearing Jia Xingtian's obvious sarcasm, Mo Cheng's heart suddenly stopped.

He knew! He knew he had escaped from the Serpent Tribe's territory! He knew he would kidnap that little girl to save his life!!!

Jia Xingtian knows everything! But he pretends to know nothing!!!

And at this moment, there is only one reason why Jia Xingtian said these words so calmly.

Already, I don’t need myself anymore.

He chose to rescue the little girl and capture me just before the game started in order to prevent me from reporting to the Yunlan Sect! To prevent me from telling them that all this was premeditated by Jia Xingtian!!!

Behind Jia Xingtian, Xiao Yan was squatting on the ground comforting Qing Lin, his eyes cold and staring at Mo Cheng.

After a moment, he asked Jia Xingtian.

"Jia Lao, can I kill him?"

Xiao Yan meant what he said, without any hesitation.

Xiao Yan did not have any sympathy for this man who kidnapped Qing Lin twice for his own selfish desires.

Seeing the fierce light in Xiao Yan's eyes, Mo Cheng's body trembled even more violently.

He really wants his own life!!!

"We'll need him later, so let's save his life for now."

Adding Xingtian's words made Mo Cheng relax a little.

That's right. Xingtian still needs to serve as a witness and will not let Xiao Yan kill him.

However, Jia Xingtian's next words made Mo Cheng's heart sink as if into an ice cellar.

"When he's done testifying, you can do whatever you want with him." Jia Xingtian looked at Mo Cheng with a faint sneer on his face, "You will definitely cooperate with me, right?"

"If you don't cooperate, then I will be even happier. No one has entered the royal torture chamber for a long time~"

The meaning of Jia Xingtian's words is quite clear.

Regardless of whether Mo Cheng serves as a witness or not, he must die. With all the things he has done, dying ten times is not enough.

The only difference is dying cleanly at the hands of Xiao Yan, or being tortured to death by Jia Xingtian.

Thinking of his tragic fate in the future, Mo Cheng, who had been on edge ever since escaping from the snakeman prison, finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted with his eyes rolled back.

"Oh~ This spineless guy."

Jia Xingtian chuckled coldly, stood up and kicked Mo Cheng's body casually, then turned to face Qinglin, squatted down, looked directly into Qinglin's emerald green pupils, and apologized softly.

"I'm sorry, little girl. I made you suffer for my plan. I'm really sorry."

Jia Xingtian's apology to Qinglin came from the heart.

Even if it was within the plan, even if he could absolutely guarantee Qinglin's safety, it was still an indisputable fact that he used the little girl Qinglin for the plan, and there was no room for argument.

Qing Lin looked at Jia Xingtian in front of him, raised his head to glance at Xiao Yan, then looked back at Jia Xingtian and asked weakly.

"Have I been able to help Young Master Xiao Yan and Captain Xiao Jing?"

"Of course~ You helped a lot~"

Hearing Qinglin's question, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but find it funny. He reached out and gently rubbed Qinglin's hair. Qinglin immediately responded.

"That's okay!"

Then, as if he felt that his voice was a little loud, he hid behind Xiao Yan embarrassedly. Ling Jia Xingtian smiled again, stood up and looked at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, just focus on the match with Yanran, and don't worry about other things." Jia Xingtian put a hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder, "When the time comes, you and Yanran only need to consider protecting yourselves, and the rest will be up to us old bones."

"Ah."
