Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Is the bed made?"

"Yeah." Feng Qing'er nodded slightly, pulled out a chair and sat down, then asked slowly, "You told me that you would take care of the homeless children in the Black Horn Region. How are you going to take care of them?"

"Of course, they need food, clothing, shelter and transportation. They also need to learn to read and practice. I also need to teach them how to live a decent life. I hope these children can make a living after they leave me, instead of relying on stealing."

Xiao Yan said this in a deep voice.

Not to mention that stealing is wrong in itself, stealing is a high-risk business, especially in a place like the Black Horn Region. Lu Yao is a shining example.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

If these children still have to rely on stealing to make a living, then sooner or later, they will end up like Lu Yao.

And this is what Xiao Yan is most unwilling to see.

These children in the Black Horn region steal because they have no choice but to steal. They have no choice but to do so if they want to survive.

What Xiao Yan needs to do is to eliminate their uniqueness so that they can survive even if the option of [stealing] is removed.

Feng Qing'er looked at Xiao Yan's profile quietly, and after a long time, she uttered a sentence.

"You're really a weirdo."

"Eh?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and curled his lips awkwardly, "Why do you say that?"

Feng Qing'er gently stroked the side of her face with one hand and replied calmly.

"Just like the question I asked you that time, I still don't understand. Even if these children can survive as you expected without stealing, what good will it do you?"

"Or do you think these children can help you in the future?"

They are just a group of children surviving in the Black Horn Region. Even if Xiao Yan really achieves his goal, what else can he get except the gratitude of these children?

They rent a house, take care of the child personally, and are even willing to stay in a corner where even the sun doesn't shine.

What exactly does Xiao Yan want?

In response to Feng Qing'er's question, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, then smiled and responded.

"Of course, it's to keep me going."

"If I ignore these children, then there is no need for me to continue on this path in the future."

"Only second, that's all."

Chapter 307 I’m Glad to Have You

Black Horn Region, Medicine City.

The Medicine Emperor, whose appearance, name and gender are unknown and who is covered in a black robe, sits on a broken stone chair, while kneeling below is an envoy from the Gama Empire, holding a high-level storage ring in his hand and a huge brocade bag next to him.

"Master Medicine King, Elder Jia has ordered a servant to deliver the items. This ring contains the ordinary rings of the style you requested, a total of more than tens of thousands of them." The messenger paused, and then continued: "And the bag next to it contains hundreds of rings of the same style. Because they cannot be stored in the ring, they can only be placed in brocade cloth and brought here. I hope Master Medicine King will forgive me."

What the messenger brought was exactly what the Medicine Emperor had requested a few days ago, an ordinary ring and a storage ring that looked like the ancient ring.

When the messenger finished his report, the Medicine Emperor still did not say a word. The next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the broken stone chair and suddenly appeared in front of the brocade bag next to the messenger.

Then, under the messenger's puzzled gaze, he slowly stretched out his burnt hand and opened the brocade bag, revealing hundreds of ancient rings of the same style inside. Then his soul power spread out and began to probe into the bag.

After a moment, I felt very disappointed.

Immediately in the messenger's sight, a light blue flame ignited in the Medicine Emperor's hand, and he wrote a string of words in the air.

【Take them all back, I don’t need them anymore. 】

Eh?

Don’t you want that anymore?

The messenger was suddenly stunned. He had repeatedly reminded the old man before he set out that he must personally teach the Medicine King, but the Medicine King just took a look and refused to use it? Could there be something wrong with these rings?

The Medicine Emperor naturally had no idea about the doubts in the envoy's heart, or even if he knew, he would not care.

Then the Medicine Emperor gently waved his hand, indicating that the messenger could leave. The messenger then came to his senses, hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, lowered his head and presented it to the Medicine Emperor.

"Master Yao Huang, this is a letter from Jia Lao, and he asked me to give it to you."

letter?

The Medicine Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly under his black robe.

The transaction between him and Jia Xingtian should have ended here. Why did Jia Xingtian write another letter specifically?

Although he was confused, the Medicine Emperor still reached out to take the letter. Then the letterist bowed again and followed the Medicine Emperor's wishes, carrying the brocade bag and the ring and leaving.

As for those ordinary rings in his storage ring, since the Medicine Emperor didn't even ask about them, the messenger naturally wouldn't take the initiative to remind them.

After the messenger left, Yao Huang opened the letter, which contained a handwritten letter from Jia Xingtian and two portraits.

The Medicine Emperor first took out the letter and read its contents.

[Your Excellency Medicine King, the two youngsters in the portrait should have arrived in the Black Horn Region. If you meet them, I hope you can take care of them in the Black Horn Region. I personally owe you a favor, and I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future.]

Oh? What a great honor.

The letter in Yao Huang's hand burned up instantly, and then he took out the two portraits.

She wanted to see who had such a great reputation that Jia Xingtian could write a trust to take care of her, and the ruler of a country was even willing to owe him a favor for this.

Unfolding the two portraits and looking at the two people above, Yao Huang's pupils twitched slightly under his black robe. The names of the two were also marked below.

Xiao Yan, the Little Medical Fairy.

Medicine Emperor had some impression of Xiao Yan. He had glanced at him from afar when he went to the Jia Ma Empire. However, at that time, Medicine Emperor just regarded him as a nobody and did not pay too much attention to him.

Now it seems that Xiao Yan is not an ordinary person.

Then the Medicine Emperor turned his gaze towards the portrait of Little Medical Fairy, his brows slightly wrinkled, and his light golden pupils flickered with a faint glow.

What a coincidence!

She had just met this person yesterday.

In the Black Horn Region, south of Black Seal City, in the house rented by Xiao Yan.

After a short rest after lunch, Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy began to help Lu Qiong and Lu Jing learn to read. Because there was no sun, the room was a little dark, and there was a lamp on the table. Feng Qing'er sat opposite the table, looking a little bored, watching quietly.

Xiao Yan asked her to come here for future plans. At least for now, there were only two children in the house, Lu Qiong and Lu Jing. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian were enough to take care of them. What's more, Feng Qing'er herself was not capable of teaching people to read, nor was she interested in doing so.

Feng Qing'er always felt that she didn't have the patience and was even less motivated.

Feng Qing'er stood up slightly and walked to the window, looking at the desolate scenery outside. The corners that were not illuminated by the sun became even darker because of the cloudy sky.

It's going to rain

Feng Qing'er frowned somewhat unhappily. She instinctively disliked rainy days because it would stain her wings with rain.

Next, will I stay here until the end of the month?

Feng Qing'er sighed softly. Although she didn't have to worry about food and accommodation here, the environment really made her feel depressed.

There’s no way, I’ll just have to get used to it slowly.

Since I have already agreed, I must do it to the end, otherwise Feng Qing'er will look down on me.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder outside, followed by heavy rain. The sound of raindrops hitting the soil kept coming into the house, which sounded surprisingly pleasant.

"It's raining"

The thunder frightened Lu Qiong and Lu Jing suddenly, and they instinctively huddled together, interrupting their literacy class. The Little Medical Fairy hurried to comfort them.

"It's okay~ good boy~"

Xiao Yan came to the window, looked at the heavy rain outside, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In stark contrast to Feng Qing'er, Xiao Yan really likes rain. Both the rain and the sound of rain seem to cleanse his soul and make Xiao Yan feel an extreme calmness that is rare in normal times.

"Ok?"

When Xiao Yan was admiring the heavy rain outside, Feng Qing'er beside him suddenly uttered a sound of surprise, causing Xiao Yan to turn around and look.

"what happened?"

"There seems to be someone outside."

Feng Qing'er pointed outside the window. Xiao Yan looked in the direction she pointed. His sight moved outside the house, which was almost dark as night, and he saw a small figure slowly walking towards him in the pouring rain.

Xiao Yan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I'm going out."

Xiao Yan opened the door and walked out, standing in the rain as he thought about the small figure approaching.

A few seconds later, Xiao Yan arrived in front of the figure and his expression suddenly froze.

The figure in front of me was the boy who stole Feng Qing'er's ring this morning!

He looked extremely weak at this moment, and on his back was a little girl who was only six or seven years old. She had her eyes closed, a look of discomfort on her face, and was breathing weakly.

The boy's vision was obscured by the rain, but he still felt a figure blocking his way. He slowly raised his head and saw Xiao Yan's face clearly through the rain.

His expression relaxed instantly and he murmured softly.

"Save my sister"

The boy's voice was extremely weak. If Xiao Yan was not a cultivator, it would be impossible to hear what he was saying in such a heavy rain.

Then the boy seemed to be exhausted and fell forward. When he was about to fall to the ground, Xiao Yan, who was squatting down, caught him steadily.

So hot!

As soon as he touched the boy's body, Xiao Yan felt his body temperature which was far above normal, and immediately reached out and gently stroked the little girl's forehead.

This girl too!

Xiao Yan no longer hesitated and immediately carried the two of them back to the house. When Feng Qing'er saw the boy in Xiao Yan's arms, her eyebrows raised slightly.

It was the guy who stole my ring this morning!

Xiao Yan had no time to care about Feng Qing'er's expression at this moment, and spoke to the Little Medical Fairy in a deep voice.

"Little Doctor Fairy, these two children have a fever!"

"follow me!"

Xiao Yixian didn't ask any questions and didn't hesitate at all. She went upstairs with Xiao Yan, who was holding the two children. After Xiao Yan put the boy in the room, Xiao Yixian reminded him.

"Patients should not stay together as much as possible. Put this girl in the next room."

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded, picked up the little girl and went to the next room. Xiao Yixian squatted down to check on the boy.

After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the boy has just had a fever and it is not serious. He is just too tired. He probably doesn't need to take any medicine. He should be fine after resting for a while.

The Little Medical Fairy took off the boy's wet clothes, covered him with a quilt, and turned to leave the room. She happened to meet Feng Qing'er and gave her instructions.

"Feng Qing'er, please go get a basin of cold water, wipe his body dry with a towel, then soak some cold water and apply it to the child's forehead."

After saying this, the Little Medical Fairy walked towards another room without waiting for Feng Qing'er's response.

Feng Qing'er was stunned for a long while before she came to her senses. She glanced at the boy in the room and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

She clearly remembered that after stealing her ring, the boy dared to negotiate with her and acted as if he was determined not to give in. This made Feng Qing'er feel uncomfortable for a while.

To be honest, Feng Qing'er really didn't want to pay attention to him.

But in the end, Feng Qing'er sighed lightly and turned around to carry out Little Medical Fairy's orders.

Since she has already promised Xiao Yan, she cannot act like a spoiled brat.

If you have any complaints about the boy, you can deal with them later. Now you should focus on repaying Xiao Yan’s favor.

In another room, Xiao Yixian squatted beside the bed, checking on the little girl, her brows tightly knitted.

Compared to the boy's situation, this girl's situation is much more serious.

"It's a viral infection, and it looks like it's been going on for some time." The Little Medical Fairy murmured in a low voice, her nerves tense. "She must have taken some medicine during the process, but it only made her feel less uncomfortable temporarily, and it made the virus accumulate more in her body."

Using the medical knowledge she had learned over the years, the Little Medical Fairy immediately diagnosed the little girl's condition.

quack!

The little medical fairy clenched her teeth and cursed in her heart.
