Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"."

Yao Ye was speechless and suddenly slapped his forehead.

I didn't even know about such a big thing. It turned out that drinking was the cause of all this.

"One more thing. Mr. Jia hired me to be your teacher. Please give me your guidance in the future."

Xiao Wei said with a smile and extended his hand to Yao Ye.

Yao Ye was stunned at first, and then his expression revealed obvious joy.

Since the incident with the snake people, Yao Ye had personally experienced Xiao Jing's methods and witnessed with his own eyes Xiao Jing's martial arts that far exceeded that of ordinary people. From then on, Yao Ye had great admiration for Xiao Jing.

Although Yao Ye had not known before that Jia Xingtian had hired Xiao Ji to be his teacher, he was absolutely willing to do so.

With Professor Xiao Jing, I can definitely make this country a better place!

"Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher Xiao Jing!"

Yao Ye reached out and held Xiao Wei's hand, his eyes full of excitement, and even changed the way he addressed him.

Seeing that there was no displeasure on Yao Ye's face, Xiao Yi chuckled and said.

"My professor may be a little strict, so please be prepared in advance, Your Highness Yaoye."

"Yes! Please rest assured! I will definitely complete the course no matter how difficult it is!"

Yao Ye excitedly uttered such bold words.

As for whether you will regret it in the future, that is another story.

At this time, the servant of the Nalan family came to the living room and reported to Nalan Jie.

"Master, there is another person outside the door, asking to see Miss Xiao Jing."

"Hmm?" Nalan Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, then flicked his sleeves, "Please come in."

"Yes."

After a while, the servant left and came to the living room with a green-haired woman.

This person is none other than Lu Man from the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

"Hey, Xiao Jing, can I take the Saint Girl away today?" Lu Man, although a Dou Huang, had a flattering look on his face. He smiled awkwardly and asked Xiao Jing, "The Heavenly Snake Palace sent a message urging me to take the Saint Girl back as soon as possible."

Although Jia Xingtian had treated Lu Man with sufficient courtesy in the past few days, to be honest, Lu Man had lived for so many years, but had never experienced as much injustice as he had during the few days he had spent in the Holy City of Gama.

He is a great Dou Huang, but he is so humble in front of a Dou Ling.

But what can we do?

Whether the Saint Qinglin is willing to leave depends entirely on Xiao Ji's words. What else can I do if I don't lower my posture?

Take him away by force? Do you really think that Jia Xingtian and his gang are just here to do nothing?

The most crucial problem is that he has been given a death order by his superiors, that he must bring the saint back. This means that Lu Man cannot leave in anger to maintain his dignity, otherwise he and Bai Ya will not be able to report back.

At this moment, Lu Man truly realized how miserable it is for working people.

Seeing Lu Man being so cautious, afraid of angering him, Xiao Wei couldn't help but find it funny.

Then, Xiao Wei showed a gentle smile on his face and said softly.

"Elder Lu Man, you don't need to be so reserved. Just proceed as usual."

Indeed, Xiao Ji had a very bad impression of Lu Man and the entire Tianshe Mansion that day, and he even wanted to kill Lu Man on the spot.

But this time, that time.

Since Qinglin has decided to go to the Tianshe Mansion, it would be unreasonable for Xiao Ji to show hostility towards Lu Man. They will meet many times in the future, and offending Lu Man will do no good to either himself or Qinglin.

Xiao Ji's words made Lu Man stunned for a moment, and his attitude towards Xiao Ji unconsciously softened a little.

Immediately, Xiao Yu continued.

"I have already prepared clothes for Qinglin yesterday. You can leave at any time."

"Really? That's great!"

Joy immediately appeared on Lu Man's face. Hadn't she stayed in the Holy City of Gama in fear for so many days just to hear these words?

Then, Xiao Wei turned to face Qinglin, squatted slightly, and looked at Qinglin's emerald green pupils gently.

Qinglin stared at Xiao Jing's black eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist when she thought of all the ways Xiao Jing had taken care of her.

Although it was her own choice to go to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, she also knew that she would be separated from Xiao Ji sooner or later.

But when that day finally came, Qinglin couldn't help feeling sad.

"Sister."

Qinglin murmured softly, Xiao Yi smiled slightly, reached out and stroked Qinglin's face, his eyes full of kindness.

"Qinglin, I won't be by your side anymore. Take good care of yourself when you go there."

Xiao Wei gently touched Qing Lin's forehead and moaned softly.

"No matter what difficulties or grievances you encounter in the future, come to me at any time. Don't worry about causing trouble to your sister."

Qing Lin choked up as he looked at Xiao Wei's gentle affection, then stretched out his arms covered with snake scales, hugged Xiao Wei's neck tightly, and whispered in Xiao Wei's ear.

"Thank you, elder sister."

Then Qinglin let go of Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing took out a storage ring from his arms and handed it to Qinglin.

"The items I bought yesterday are all in there, take them with you."

"Ah."

Qinglin took the ring and nodded in response.

Immediately, Xiao Wei stood up, stroked Qinglin's head, and brought her to Luman.

Then, in Lu Man's astonished gaze, Xiao Yi bowed his head deeply to Lu Man.

"Qinglin, please take good care of me."

Looking at Xiao Yu who lowered his head to him, Lu Man couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Is this the domineering woman who wanted to kill me that day because of a disagreement?

She would actually bow to me?

Then Lu Man looked at Qing Lin beside Xiao Wei, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

Lu Man understood that Xiao Ji was willing to bow to him just for Qing Lin.

Xiao Wei really cares about Qing Lin.

After a long time, Lu Man breathed a sigh of relief and replied solemnly.

"Please rest assured, even if I die, I will never let the Saint be in danger."

This was Lu Man’s personal guarantee to Xiao Ji.

Then Qinglin said goodbye to everyone one by one. In everyone's eyes, Luman flew farther and farther away with Qinglin until they disappeared.

Xiao Yi stared in the direction where the two people disappeared, lost in thought, and did not look away for a long time.

"elder sister."

Xiao Yan called out to him with concern, and Xiao Yi finally came back to his senses and smiled back.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xiao Yu looked into the distance again, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "It's just that since I started taking care of Qing Lin, this is the first time I've been separated from her for such a long time."

Xiao Wei indeed respected Qing Lin's choice.

However, the worry in my heart can never be erased.

"Alright, alright. There are many things to come. I don't have time to be sentimental." Xiao Yu chuckled and stroked Xiao Yan's hair, saying softly, "Yan'er, it's almost time for you to leave too, right?"

"Yes, I will leave today."

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, Xiao Yi's expression relaxed and he looked towards Little Medical Fairy.

"I'll leave my little brother to you."

"Ok!"

The Little Medical Fairy nodded solemnly in response.

Gama Holy City, Miter Auction House.

At this time, Tengshan was discussing the migration of the snake people with Yafei, and Hai Bodong was lying on the sofa, eating an apple out of boredom.

Although theoretically this matter is a matter between the royal family and the snake people, and has nothing to do with the Mitre family, Jia Xingtian came to say hello this morning, hoping that the Mitre family could participate in this matter as a supplier.

"Grandfather, all supplies are provided at the purchase price. Even if the royal family and the snake people are responsible for transportation, the goods are prepared by the Miter family. Isn't this too much of a loss after such a long-term supply?"

Ya Fei looked at the transaction information in her hand with some worry. All supplies were based on the purchase price, which meant that the Mittel family would not make any money from it. If there was any loss in the middle, the Mittel family would have to pay a lot of money.

If this was just a one-time transaction, it would be fine. As long as I could get in touch with the royal family, the loss would be worth it.

But the key issue is that this transaction is a long-term one, at least five years and at most ten years. The accumulated losses over time are by no means a small number!

"Ya Fei, you should always have a long-term vision and not be too concerned about the gains and losses in front of you." Teng Shan pinched his beard lightly and said calmly: "As long as you take this deal, the royal family will be easier to talk to in the future. When the snake people are truly integrated into the Jia Ma Empire, the profits will be quite lucrative."

“I know that, but.”

Ya Fei was also speechless. She had considered this matter before, but she still felt it was not worth it.

The investment is huge, the return is minimal, and there is also an irreparable time cost, which is totally unacceptable to Yafei.

Looking at Yafei's expression, Tengshan smiled softly.

No matter how talented Ya Fei is, he is just a young man in his twenties after all. Naturally, his vision is not as sharp as that of an old guy who has been in the business world for decades.

"Ya Fei, you have to understand that some transactions cannot be based on money alone. There are many things that you cannot buy with money even if you want to."

"But what if something goes wrong with the snake people?"

Before Ya Fei could finish her words, Teng Shan raised his hand to interrupt her.

"If that's what you're worried about, then there's no problem." Tengshan said, looking at Hai Bodong who was lying on the sofa eating an apple, "Hai Bodong, am I right?"

"Ah~"

Hai Bodong threw the apple core he had just eaten into the trash can and glanced at Yafei with his purple eyes.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to the snake people."

".Yes, Yafei knows."

Ya Fei finally responded like this.

What worries Yafei most in this transaction is the issue of the snake people.

Although the Snake People have signed a reconciliation treaty with the Gama Royal Family and even the relevant regulations have been drafted, what if the Snake People come into conflict with the Gama Empire again during the transaction, then wouldn’t all the previous efforts of the Miter Family be in vain?

But after hearing Hai Bodong's guarantee, Ya Fei was speechless.

At this time, there was a knock on the door and the guard's voice came in.

"Ms. Yafei, Mr. Xiao Yan is waiting in the hall."

"Xiao Yan?"

Ya Fei was slightly stunned, and then she remembered that day when she asked Xiao Yan to refine the Qi Gathering Powder.

To be honest, with this deal in front of us, three Qi Gathering Powders are nothing.

But Yafei still turned her head and looked at Tengshan and said.

"Grandfather, I'm going out for a while."

"Well, let's go."

Tengshan didn't care and waved his hand lightly. Hai Bodong also turned over and jumped off the sofa.

"Come on, I'll go with you to meet that guy."

Hai Bodong and Ya Fei arrived at the hall one after another, and saw Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian sitting on the sofa in the hall waiting.
