Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Sister Ziyun, thank you so much!"

This scene reminded Yao Chen of the time when Yun Shan wanted to kill Xiao Yan, and Jia Xingtian and those snakemen leaders protected him without hesitation. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Moral support from many, scant support.

Along the way, too many people helped Xiao Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

But these things did not fall from the sky for no reason.

These are the results of the causes that Xiao Yan has been planting.

He deserves it.

Chapter 277 People rely on clothes

Three days have passed since the conflict between the royal family and the Yunlan Sect.

Yao Ye and Mu Zhan's injuries are almost healed, and fortunately there are no hidden dangers left.

Mu Zhan was fine. After waking up, he was praised by his grandfather. However, when Mu Zhan just woke up, he saw his grandfather as if he had seen a ghost. He thought he had already gone down. After all, Mu Zhan really had no idea about Jia Xingtian's plan from beginning to end. He really thought his grandfather was dead.

But Yaoye was not as lucky as Muzhan.

After waking up, he was scolded by Jia Xingtian and Yaoyue one by one, and he was scolded so hard that he couldn't even answer.

It’s okay to use torture to trick yourself.

But have you ever seen anyone use the future monarch as a pretext? !

In order to make the effect realistic, Yao Yezhen was literally holding on to his last breath, which made Xiao Jing, Xiao Li, Mu Chen, and the snakeman leader all the way from the Tagor Desert scared. Xiao Jing and Xiao Lizhen, who were hiding in the snakeman army, were staring at Yao Ye all the time, fearing that Yao Yezhen was gone.

To be honest, among all the monarchs in history, only Yao Ye dared to do this. She threw away wealth and status, and risked her life to commit suicide. To say that she was weird was an understatement.

After being lectured repeatedly by Jia Xingtian and Yao Yue, Yao Ye already felt dizzy.

After giving some instructions, Jia Xingtian left to go about his business. Three days had passed since the incident, and the Holy City of Gama had begun to resume operations, and the residents had returned to their daily lives.

Of course, many retired disciples of the Yunlan Sect who had participated in Yunling’s crimes were also tried and either sent to jail or exiled to the border. They were all dealt with according to the law. Due to the departure of those retired disciples, many family businesses were left vacant, and various industries began to undergo collective rectification during this period.

But there was one thing that Jia Xingtian found very strange.

There is a restaurant where everyone from the owner to the employees has disappeared, and it is still empty.

Jia Xingtian has been investigating this matter these past two days, but no conclusion has been reached so far.

When asked, the Snake People also didn't know. Xiao Yu also stood up to testify that no snake person in the Snake People army had entered any building that day.

Really, strange.

But there is no other way. If I really can’t find anyone, I can only deal with it coldly.

After Jia Xingtian left, Yaoyue said to Yaoye.

"Sister, there is a dinner party tonight and I need you to attend."

"Ah? Dinner party?" Yao Ye looked a little embarrassed, pointing at himself awkwardly, "Can I cancel it? I just recovered."

To be honest, although Yao Ye has been brought up in the royal family since childhood, she really has a deep-seated aversion to court etiquette. And with her status, as long as it is related to the dinner party, she will definitely not be able to avoid court etiquette.

She also has to put on makeup, wear a long skirt, and not make big movements, and has to be careful to stay elegant at all times.

She really hates it. Instead of attending a dinner party where she has to behave properly all the time, Yaoye would rather go to the army for training.

"No, tonight's guest is very important. Since you are the future queen, don't be willful."

Yaoyue rejected it lightly, then clapped her hands, and four maids walked in from outside the door.

Yaoyue tilted her head slightly, looked at them with red pupils and gave instructions.

"Take the princess to bathe and change her clothes."

"Yes."

"Wait. Let's discuss it again."

The four maids stood up and responded, then, regardless of Yao Ye's resistance, they carried Yao Ye out of the room.

After all, they are all Yaoyue's maids, so they naturally have to obey Yaoyue's orders. No matter how reluctant Yaoye is, they have to do it.

Yaoyue slowly stood up and looked at Yaoye who was being carried to the bathroom by the maids outside the room, with a faint glow in her red pupils.

Sister, this is an opportunity that your sister helped you to fight for.

You have to grasp it well.

During these three days, Xiao Yan was not idle at the Nalan family.

Xiao Yan took the three-patterned Qingling Pill that he had refined in the previous alchemist competition, and successfully broke through from an eight-star Dou Shi to a one-star Grand Dou Shi. Not only did he obtain the skills and Dou Qi armor exclusive to the Grand Dou Shi, but Xiao Yan also clearly felt that his strength, speed, and reaction had greatly improved.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan went to the Mitre Auction House and wanted to return the Xuanyun Ding that Ya Fei had given him before the competition. Ya Fei naturally refused to accept it, after all, she had originally intended to give it to Xiao Yan.

But she also knew that if she gave it to Xiao Yan for free, Xiao Yan would definitely not be willing, so Ya Fei proposed to exchange it for three Qi Gathering Powders. Of course, the materials were provided by the Mitel Auction House.

Ya Fei originally planned to provide medicinal herbs for Xiao Yan to refine the three-patterned Qingling Pill that he refined in the finals. However, this idea was killed by Ya Fei as soon as it came up.

The value of the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill is far beyond that of the Qi Gathering Powder.

Asking Xiao Yan for three Qi Gathering Powders could be considered an equal exchange, but if she asked him to refine the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill for her, that would be greedy, even though Ya Fei knew that Xiao Yan would not refuse.

Just because you know Xiao Yan will agree, you can't wantonly desecrate his sincerity.

Yafei once again warned herself in her heart.

So, after returning from the Miter Auction House, Xiao Yan stayed in his room the whole day to refine the Qi Gathering Powder. As for Xiao Yixian and the others, they followed Xiao Ji to buy clothes for Qing Lin.

The previous Blood Lotus Pills, including Hai Bodong's Evil-Breaking Pills, were all made by Yao Chen. There was really no other way.

The difficulty of making Qi Gathering Powder is far less than those high-level elixirs. Since I can refine it myself, I must not trouble Yao Chen again.

It was not until dusk that Xiao Yan stopped refining the medicine. He looked at the three Qi Gathering Pills on the table with excitement written all over his face.

The Qi Gathering Powder that was once so out of reach can now be refined by myself!

Seeing Xiao Yan’s excitement, Yao Chen couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

You will be happy to refine the Qi Gathering Powder. You must know that the three lines of Qingling Pill you refine is much more difficult than this Qi Gathering Powder.

After collecting the three pills, Xiao Yan had just left the room when he saw Nalan Jie walking towards him. After seeing Xiao Yan, he whispered.

"Xiao Yan, here is your invitation."

"Invitation card?"

Looking at the envelope that Nalan Jie handed to him, Xiao Yan pointed at himself in confusion.

"For me?"

"Yes, it was given to you by His Highness Yaoye."

Nalan Jie nodded slightly, and then Xiao Yan was slightly stunned.

"Your Highness Yaoye?"

Then, Xiao Yan remembered that at the Alchemist Conference, Yao Yue had said that Yao Ye wanted to invite him to the dinner party.

Xiao Yan reached out and took the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read the contents silently.

[Xiao Yan, I am grateful for your care during the Tagor Desert incident. In order to express your contribution to the Jia Ma Empire, I invite you to the palace for dinner this evening. I am waiting for you here.]

After reading the letter, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Was this written by His Highness Yaoye?

Xiao Yan really didn't expect that someone like Yao Ye, who had a strong and masculine personality, could actually write such a solemn invitation letter. Moreover, the handwriting was very beautiful and could not be associated with Yao Ye at all.

But no matter what, Yao Ye had already written to him personally, and it would be unreasonable for him not to attend the banquet. Besides, Xiao Yan had promised Yao Yue that he would attend the banquet.

"I think my clothes are not good enough."

Xiao Yan pulled his collar. It was not a question of whether it was cheap or not. He was wearing the kind of black shirt that could be seen everywhere, which was obviously not suitable for wearing to a dinner party.

At this time, Nalan Jie spoke.

"Regarding this, His Highness Yaoye has also sent a set of clothes. You can put them on."

Nalan Jie waved his hand, and a servant brought the clothes up. Xiao Yan scratched his face a little embarrassedly.

Everything is really ready.

"Then Grandpa Nalan, I'm going to change my clothes first."

Xiao Yan took the clothes and returned to his guest bedroom to change.

At this time, Yao Chen floated out of the ring with a teasing smirk on his beautiful face.

"Xiao Yanzi, you are still as charming as ever. Even the eldest princess of the royal family is attracted to you."

Xiao Yan had become immune to Yao Chen's teasing and looked at him helplessly.

"Senior Yao, don't say it's a joke. I am the future heir to the royal family, how could he possibly like me? This dinner is just to thank me."

Yao Chen had anticipated Xiao Yan's answer and shook his head helplessly.

Being self-aware is indeed a virtue.

But being too self-aware is a shortcoming.

After a while, Xiao Yan changed into that set of clothes. Of course, Yao Chen was watching him the whole time.

Xiao Yan had already gotten used to this.

At first, Xiao Yan was very shy because Yao Chen was staring at him while he was changing clothes. It would definitely be embarrassing if a peerless beauty looked you up and down while you were changing clothes.

But over time, Xiao Yan became numb.

Yao Chen's face is indeed like that of a fairy, but no matter how beautiful a face is, it will remain unchanged if you look at it every day, not to mention that the soul behind Yao Chen's stunning face has a rather regrettable character.

After a while, Xiao Yan changed his clothes and came to the mirror to straighten the wrinkles of his clothes. Yao Chen praised him with shining eyes.

"Shh~ Xiao Yanzi, you look quite handsome in this outfit~"

You know what, maybe it's true that clothes make the man, Xiao Yan's face, which can only be described as unattractive, looks a lot more handsome against this outfit, and even adds a bit of elegance to it.

elegant

Xiao Yan looked at himself in the mirror and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He never thought that this word had anything to do with him.

"By the way, this dress should be quite expensive."

Although Xiao Yan did not buy any expensive clothes, one could tell from the material of this outfit that it was definitely not cheap.

As expected of the royal family, they are so wealthy.

"But Xiao Yanzi, you're still a little bit behind."

Yao Chen raised her jade hand, and a black rubber band that could be seen everywhere appeared in her hand. She moved behind Xiao Yan and started to fiddle with Xiao Yan's hair.

After a while, Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan's new image in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm~~~Xiao Yanzi, you have a really good image. If you go to Luofengyu, you will definitely be the top star. Earning millions of gold coins a month is definitely not a dream."

"."

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. He no longer paid attention to his teacher's rogue remarks and looked at his new image in the mirror.

Hmm. How should I put it?

Yao Chen didn't do anything, just tied up Xiao Yan's long hair behind his head.

However, just this simple action raised Xiao Yan's image to a higher level.

To put it simply, Xiao Yan had never felt so handsome.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Even if he didn't say it out loud, just thinking about it in his heart, Xiao Yan felt that it was too narcissistic.

Chapter 278 Keeping an Appointment

Inside the Gama Palace, a woman stood in front of a mirror, looking at herself hesitantly.

The exquisite makeup quietly concealed her original heroic spirit, her long black hair like a waterfall covered her jade back, and the luxurious red dress lightly covered her graceful figure. Her already tall figure was even more prominent with the crystal high heels.
