Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Even if everyone thinks that the girl's misery is inevitable and reasonable, you will never agree."

"Just as we imagined, even if there are many people in this world who oppose your righteous path, there will definitely be people who hope that someone like Master Xiao will appear in their miserable lives."

Looking at Yunying's serious expression, Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, and the dullness in his eyes gradually faded away.

What appears instead is a dazzling brilliance!

“Brother Yun, thank you very much!” Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and said to Yun Ying, “I still have things to do, please excuse me!”

After saying that, Xiao Yan turned and left. Xiao Yixian was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly to Yunying and quickly turned around to follow him.

Looking at Xiao Yan's receding back, Yun Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, then slowly turned around and looked at the huge gate of Black Seal City.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly after he folded the fan.

Let us see with our own eyes how far your righteous path can go.

If we can't even conquer this small Black Horn region, we will be very disappointed~

Chapter 299 Renting a House

"Xiao Yan! Where are you going?!"

After saying goodbye to Yunying, Xiao Yixian followed closely behind Xiao Yan who was running wildly. Xiao Yan responded without even turning his head.

“Auction house!”

auction?

The little doctor was full of questions.

Why are you going to the auction house?

Although she was so confused in her heart, Xiao Yixian did not continue asking.

We will know what Xiao Yan is going to do when we arrive at the auction house.

More than ten minutes later, Xiao Yixian followed Xiao Yan to the Black Seal City Auction House. Before Xiao Yan could calm down, he approached the counter, which startled the teller slightly, and then a professional smile appeared on his face.

"Excuse me, sir, what do you need?"

"Hello, could you help me check the houses for rent in Black Seal City?"

Generally speaking, auction houses do more than just auctions. Basically, the auction houses in every city are the commercial centers of that city, and land sales and leasing are also included.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The teller nodded slightly and left the counter to look for information, while the Little Medical Fairy behind Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yan in confusion.

"Xiao Yan, why are you asking about the rental house? We won't be staying in the Black Horn Region for long, so can't we just stay in a hotel?"

Hearing Xiao Yixian's question, Xiao Yan turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Yixian with a serious expression.

"I'm sorry, Little Medical Fairy." Xiao Yan did not directly answer Little Medical Fairy's question, "We may have to stay in the Black Horn Region for a while longer."

"what?"

The little medical fairy raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to ask again when the teller came back to the counter with a booklet and said softly.

"I'm sorry, sir, for keeping you waiting for so long." The teller opened the brochure and asked Xiao Yan, "What price range are you looking for?"

“Just find it.”

Xiao Yan was about to answer when he suddenly remembered the extremely high prices in the Black Horn Region, and his expression suddenly froze.

Then, a somewhat low voice asked.

"May I ask how much is the rent for a house that is neither bad nor good?"

"An ordinary house?" The teller nodded slightly, flipping through the book in his hand. After a moment, he found the target and replied softly, "There is a three-story attic in the north of Black Seal City. It is not too far from the bustling area of ​​the city. The rent is 1.8 million gold coins a month."

"One million and eight hundred thousand?!"

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and Little Medical Fairy's heart was also shocked.

She knew that things in the Black Horn region were very expensive. Even the hotel they stayed in last night could be considered very low-end, costing a thousand gold coins a night. Renting a house would definitely be even more expensive.

But Xiao Yixian never expected that the monthly rent for an ordinary house would be 1.8 million! That’s 60,000 a day!!!

Xiao Yixian was numb. In the morning, she was so excited about getting three million gold coins for free. But now it seems that these three million are nothing in the Black Horn Region. They are not enough to rent an ordinary house for two months!

"what"

Xiao Yan also had a headache and lightly touched his forehead. He was mentally prepared for the high rent of the house here, but he didn't expect that the actual price was still far beyond his expectations.

"Um, is there anything cheaper?"

It can be seen that the quality of the teller of this auction house is indeed very good. When he heard Xiao Yan's repeated inquiry, he did not feel contempt. He lowered his head and flipped through the booklet. Finally, he stopped on a page and spoke slowly.

"There is a house in the southern corner of Black Seal City. Although the house is not small, it has been vacant for a long time and is sparsely populated. The monthly rent is about 600,000 yuan." The teller said this, flipped through a few pages of the booklet, and then added, "This should be the cheapest house in Black Seal City. Do you need it?"

The teller's words made Xiao Yan's face darken.

Six hundred thousand a month, twenty thousand a day in rent, this is the cheapest house in Black Horn.

There was only one word that emerged in Xiao Yan's mind.

expensive!

You know, in my hometown, Wutan City, the rent for the best location is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month.

"That's it, can we go and see the house now?"

Considering the money on hand, Xiao Yan could only choose this at this stage.

I can't help it, I'm poor.

Xiao Yan had previously won one million gold coins from the Alchemist Conference and thought he was already a wealthy man, but he did not expect that the money would be so scarce in the Black Horn Region.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will arrange for someone to take you there."

"sorry to bother you."

The teller put away the booklet and bowed slightly to Xiao Yan, then turned and left. A moment later, he brought back a man with a scar on his face.

"This is the employee who will take you to see the house. If you are satisfied after viewing the house, just sign the contract with him."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian felt the strength of the scarred man and were slightly shocked.

Wow, a guy who takes people to look at houses has the strength of a great fighter. Is this the Black Horn Region?

At this moment, Xiao Yan thought of the girl who died because of stealing.

In this Black Horn region, the girl who has nothing can only make a living by stealing.

"Let's go."

The scarred man tilted his head slightly and left the auction house first. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian followed behind him and walked towards the south of the city.

On the way, Little Medical Fairy leaned close to Xiao Yan's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, what on earth are you doing renting a house in Blackhorn?"

"I'll tell you later."

Xiao Yan responded like this, not because he wanted to keep the secret or anything, but he didn't have a specific plan yet, and he would slowly explain it to Xiao Yixian after it was confirmed.

After hearing Xiao Yan's response, Xiao Yixian was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

Although I don’t know what Xiao Yan is going to do, based on his personality, he is probably going to do something stupid.

Dozens of minutes later, the scarred man brought the two to a rather remote corner in the south of the city.

It's still noon, but it's so gloomy here that even the sunlight can hardly get in.

After taking a quick look at the environment here, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian both had strange expressions.

A house here costs 600,000 yuan a month. I’m afraid no one would want it even if I gave it to someone else?

The two followed the scarred man for a few dozen steps and stopped in front of a house. The scarred man slightly turned sideways and spoke to the two in a deep voice.

"We're here. This is the house."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian looked at the house in front of them. It’s true that although the geographical environment here is not very good, the house is really not bad. After hearing the introduction of the teller, the two thought it was a shabby one.

That's fine, though.

At this moment, the scarred man suddenly frowned and shouted loudly.

"Stand there!"

Just as Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian were puzzled, the scarred man suddenly rushed to the side of the house, grabbed the necks of two petite figures with one hand each and pressed them to the ground.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian hurriedly followed and when they got closer they saw that the two people pinned to the ground by the scarred man were a boy and a girl, both dressed in ragged clothes. The boy looked no more than six or seven years old, and the girl no more than four or five years old.

Next to them, the window on the side of the house had been opened, and it was obvious that the two children had just climbed out of the house.

The scarred man had a cold expression as he stared at the two children who were struggling on the ground under his control.

"Who allowed you to live here?"

As the scarred man spoke, he slightly tightened his hands that were pinching the two children's necks, and expressions of pain gradually appeared on the two children's faces.

It was obvious that the man with the scar was going to strangle the two children to death.

It would be fine if no one came to patrol on weekdays, but since they came and saw that they occupied the house without permission, then these two children deserve to die.

"and many more!"

Xiao Yan quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, causing the scarred man to loosen his grip slightly and turn his head to look at Xiao Yan.

"The house here is private property. They deserve to die for trespassing."

The scarred man spoke in a cold tone, without showing any mercy just because the other party was just a child.

This is the Black Horn Region. Regardless of age or gender, any weak person will suffer the same fate.

It can even be said that Scar Man's behavior was very kind and reasonable. If the two children had not trespassed into private territory without permission, Scar Man would not have wanted to kill them.

Xiao Yan naturally knew this, and he also understood that he really couldn't blame the scarred man.

Xiao Yan glanced at the two children and whispered.

"I rented this house, let them go."

"."

The scarred man was silent for a moment, and finally loosened his hands that were pinching the two children. As soon as he loosened his hands, the two children turned over and ran away in a hurry, coughing.

"Wait a moment."

Before Xiao Yan could finish his words, the two children had already run into the dark alley. It was impossible to catch up with them, which made Xiao Yan sigh deeply.

Let’s go find them later, let’s settle the house issue first.

"Is it enough for me to sign the contract with you?"

Xiao Yan looked at the scarred man, who nodded slightly, then took out the contract from his ring and began to sign the contract with Xiao Yan.

A few minutes later, accompanied by Xiao Yixian, after confirming that there was no problem with the contract, Xiao Yan paid one month's rent. Most of the one million gold coins he won from the Alchemist Conference were gone in an instant, making Xiao Yan feel very painful.

This is also the case when no deposit is required, otherwise Xiao Yan might not be able to keep the remaining money.

But it is understandable that if a deposit is required for such a remote house, I am afraid no one would be willing to rent it.

"The contract is completed." The scarred man put away the contract, handed the key to Xiao Yan, and said calmly: "For this month, this house and the surrounding land belong to you."

"Excuse me."

Xiao Yan took the key and nodded slightly, then the scarred man turned around and was about to leave.

When leaving, the scarred man turned his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Yan.

"You should be the kind of person who is full of compassion."

"It's okay for other places, but in this Black Horn Region, I still advise you to put away your sympathy."

"This is my personal advice to my guests. It's up to you whether you want to listen to it or not."

After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Yan to speak, the scarred man walked away, leaving Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian standing outside the house.

Is compassion overflowing?

Little Medical Fairy crossed her arms lightly and glanced at Xiao Yan helplessly.

This statement is correct when used to evaluate Xiao Yan.
