Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Hey~ Cousin Xiao Yan~"

Xiao Ning put his arm around Xiao Yan's shoulders, carefully glanced at Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er who were concentrating on watching the competition on the stage, and smiled evilly in a deliberately low voice.

"There's nothing to do today, let's go! Let's go to Ningchun Tower with my cousin!"

Xiao Ning was a playful person to begin with. He stayed in the mountains for three months. After coming down, he was busy helping the Xiao family buy New Year's goods these days and had no time to sneak out.

And now, the opportunity has come!

However, before Xiao Yan could answer, Yao Chen in the ring began to shout.

(Let’s go! Let’s go to Ningchunlou! I’ve visited many high-end places before, and I also want to see how the service in Wutan City is~)

"."

After hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan was stunned for a long time and asked weakly in his heart.

(Senior Yao, aren’t you a woman?)

(What? Women can’t go to places like that?)

Yao Chen curled his lips in displeasure, and then a hint of excitement surged in his words.

(After all, what's so good about touching a man's body? It's so rough and feels terrible. Some faces are disgusting just by looking at them. Young girls are better. I stayed in Luofengyu for a whole month. I really enjoyed it that time. I still remember it now~)

Listening to Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan seemed to see the saliva flowing from the corner of Yao Chen's mouth.

Although I don’t know where Luo Fengyu is, just by listening to the name I can guess that it is a place of the same nature as Ning Chunlou.

Yao Chen's originally mysterious and tall image in Xiao Yan's heart instantly dropped several levels.

Xiao Yan pinched the bridge of his nose with a slight headache.

It seems that this teacher who seems to be as beautiful as a fairy has a nature far worse than he realizes?

"No, I'm not going." Xiao Yan waved his hand and said to Xiao Ning, "After all, I am the son of the clan leader. My father may have something else to ask me later. It's better to avoid leaving without permission."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Ning showed a little disappointment on his face, and Yao Chen in the ring also made a regretful hiss.

"Forget it. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. I'll go by myself. See you later!"

After saying that, Xiao Ning waved his hand, took a few steps through the bustling crowd, and disappeared in a flash.

Looking at the direction where Xiao Ning disappeared, Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly and turned to look at the Xiao family members who were competing on the arena.

"But I really have nothing to do right now." Xiao Yan murmured, and then slowly walked through the crowd, "Just walk around."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to walk out after passing through the sea of ​​people, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. He took two steps back and turned to look at Nalan Yanran who was kneeling in the crowd.

Why is this girl kneeling on the ground?

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, walked to Nalan Yanran's side, squatted down and asked softly.

"Little foodie, what are you doing kneeling down?"

Hearing this familiar name, Nalan Yanran's body instinctively shrank. She slowly turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan, who was squatting beside her with a puzzled look on his face.

"Xiao Yan."

Nalan Yanran stared at Xiao Yan in a daze. After a few seconds, she came back to her senses. Then an extremely complicated expression appeared on her face. She turned her head away, not daring to look into Xiao Yan's eyes again.

"I'm fine"

Nalan Yanran slowly stood up, lowered her head, her hair covering her eyes, and whispered to Xiao Yan.

"I'm going back to Yunlan Sect first. Please say goodbye to Uncle Xiao for me."

After saying that, Nalan Yanran turned around and prepared to leave, but Xiao Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"What happened?"

Xiao Yan frowned tightly and asked in a serious tone.

Nalan Yanran doesn't care that I call her a little foodie. This is a big problem!

Nalan Yanran paused for a moment, then answered softly.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

As she said this, Nalan Yanran wanted to pull her hand back, but was unable to do so because Xiao Yan held it tightly.

"let me go."

"If you leave normally, I won't stop you." Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran's profile and said slowly, "But if you are like this now, I will definitely not let you leave."

The first reason is that Nalan Yanran is not only the eldest daughter of the Nalan family, but also the young master of the Yunlan Sect. If she goes back in this state, rumors will probably spread that the Xiao family bullied Nalan Yanran.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. This is Xiao Yan's personal experience.

The second reason was that although Xiao Yan didn't know why Nalan Yanran became like this, he vaguely felt that it was related to him. Because of this, Xiao Yan couldn't just ignore it.

But in this state, it’s hard to just rely on words.

Xiao Yan was certain in his heart, and holding Nalan Yanran's jade arm, he walked out of the Xiao family compound. He turned his head sideways and smiled without waiting for Nalan Yanran to ask.

"Come with me~ I'll take you to have fun~"

Chapter 37 Thank you for participating

Xiao Yan pulled Nalan Yanran out of the Xiao family compound and came to the crowded street.

Although the Xiao family's business will gradually close due to the Chinese New Year, the vacant shops are not idle. They can be used at will during the Chinese New Year period with only a small rental fee.

Therefore, the streets did not seem deserted because of the Xiao family's New Year celebrations. Instead, they were more lively than usual.

"Come~ come and play this~"

Xiao Yan grabbed Nalan Yanran's hand and came to a stall. Nalan Yanran still looked at the stall with a depressed look.

At the end of the stall was a huge turntable, the huge circle was divided into dozens of uneven colorful compartments, with words such as "Puppet Bear" and "Bone Washing Flower" written between the compartments. There were several longbows on the counter in front of it, and nothing else.

what is this?

Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, feeling a little curious about the new thing in front of her.

"Boss, give me five arrows."

Xiao Yan, who went to the streets to play with his family members every year, was naturally very clear about the prices at the stalls. He took out ten gold coins from his pocket and threw them to the stall owner.

"Okay~"

The stall owner took the gold coins with a smile, took out five wooden arrows from under the counter and gave them to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan took them and pulled out one and handed it to Nalan Yanran.

"Try it~"

Nalan Yanran didn't say anything. She took the arrow silently, her mind full of question marks.

What is this for?

"Then, guests, let's get started~"

Just when Nalan Yanran was puzzled, the stall owner reached out and turned the dial, and Xiao Yan on the side spoke to Nalan Yanran in a concise manner.

"Use the bow and shoot that spinner."

"."

Nalan Yanran didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, picked up the longbow on the table, and put the arrow in her hand on it.

Although I majored in longsword, it doesn't mean I can't use a bow at all.

Whoosh!

As Nalan Yanran released the bowstring, the sharp arrow flew out instantly and pierced deeply into the rotating turntable. Then the stall owner reached out and stopped the turntable, allowing Nalan Yanran to see clearly the words where the arrow had shot.

It has the largest area and the most blocks, and also has the most dents left by arrows. The four words "Thank you for participating" are here.

"Ok?"

Nalan Yanran raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look at Xiao Yan. Before she could speak, Xiao Yan handed her another arrow.

"Come on~"

Nalan Yanran stared blankly at the smiling Xiao Yan, then took the arrow, put the bow on and aimed at the disc that was spinning again.

Whoosh!

As the second arrow hit the disc, the stall owner reached out again to stop the turntable.

【Thank you for participation】

"Um?!"

Nalan Yanran frowned even more tightly. Before she could look at Xiao Yan, the third arrow was handed to her. Nalan Yanran took it without thinking and put the longbow on again.

Whoosh!

Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes were fixed on the turntable that was slowly stopped by the stall owner, without blinking.

When the turntable gradually stopped, Nalan Yanran saw it clearly.

The three arrows on the turntable are stuck on the three "Thank you for participating" compartments.

"Ha! Are you trying to cheat?!"

Nalan Yanran's previous depression disappeared in an instant. She slammed the longbow on the table and glared at the stall owner, scolding him harshly.

The stall owner was not annoyed, he just spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Little girl, this game is all about luck. The bow and arrow are in your hands. How can I cheat?"

"whispering sound!"

Nalan Yanran naturally understood that what she said just now was just instinct, and then she looked suddenly at Xiao Yan.

"Give me the remaining two arrows!"

"No problem~"

Xiao Yan handed the remaining two arrows to Nalan Yanran with a smile. Nalan Yanran took them and put the two arrows on the longbow at the same time, glaring at the stall owner.

"Come again!"

The stall owner shrugged slightly and turned the turntable again.

Nalan Yanran's eyes were as sharp as torches. She concentrated and held her breath, then suddenly released the bowstring.

Whoosh!

When the stall owner stopped the turntable and saw the arrow on it clearly, not only Nalan Yanran, but even Xiao Yan and the stall owner were stunned.

"Well, how should I put it?" The stall owner scratched his hair lightly and looked at the wooden Nalan Yanran with some sympathy, "My little girl, your luck is a little bad."

There were five squares on the turntable for participation. One of Nalan Yanran's five arrows hit exactly one square. I don't know whether to say this luck is good or bad.

"Haha~"

Xiao Yan, who was standing by, covered his mouth and chuckled, which made Nalan Yanran suddenly angry and she glared at him fiercely.

"What are you laughing at?!"

"Nothing~ Don't mind~" Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly, then waved to the stall owner, "Boss, thank you~"

After saying that, Xiao Yan took Nalan Yanran's hand and walked towards other stalls, but Nalan Yanran was a little resistant.

"Wait. Let me shoot at least once."

"There are so many fun things to do, there's no need to worry about just one."

"Well"

In the following time, Xiao Yan took Nalan Yanran to the market to experience various tourist stalls that Nalan Yanran had never seen before.

For example, playing hoop toss, throwing frisbees, guessing riddles, etc., Nalan Yanran gradually forgot her previous depression and indulged in fun.

Although Nalan Yanran occasionally got very angry, her mood had visibly improved.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

After going around in circles, she returned to the stall where she started. Looking at the "Thank You for Participating" on the turntable that had been shot for the eighteenth time, Nalan Yanran finally couldn't help but roar and slammed the bow to the ground.

"Why! That's why! I can't shoot!!!"

The stall owner and Xiao Yan both looked at Nalan Yanran helplessly. This luck was really unspeakable.

Xiao Yan shrugged lightly, picked up the longbow that Nalan Yanran had thrown to the ground, put the last arrow on the bowstring, and aimed at the turntable that had started to spin.
