Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

I turned my head to look at the dim moonlight outside the window, went to the window on the second floor, and looked up through the window at the starry sky where the dark clouds had dispersed. It was so clear and transparent, which made people daydream.

However, under this beautiful starry sky, Wen Xing's tragic past happened.

(Senior Yao.) Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of sadness, (Have you seen too many things like this?)

Yao Shen in the ring was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

(Um.)

(When you see this kind of thing, do you feel sad?)

(At first, yes.) Yao Chen said calmly, (But because I didn’t have the ability to help them at the beginning, I could only turn a blind eye.)

(I thought to myself that when I become stronger, I will definitely help him the next time I see him, and I will never stand idly by.)

Yao Chen paused and smiled self-deprecatingly.

(Every time we see something similar, we will find reasons and excuses for ourselves in our hearts.)

(I will definitely do it next time. I will definitely do it next time.)

(Next time, I will definitely become stronger, and I will definitely be strong enough to help them.)

(However, when does a person become powerful?)

(I haven’t even thought about this question myself.)

(As I saw more and more similar things, I gradually felt less sad than I did at the beginning, and became more and more numb.)

(Even in the end, I had gotten used to this kind of thing.)

(I feel that this is a very normal thing, and there is no need or reason for me to help.)

(Looking back now, the vows I made to myself and the decisions I made in my heart seem like a joke.)

(The edges and corners I had when I first started traveling have long been smoothed out over the years, and the drive I once had has completely disappeared.)

(It’s so vague that even I can’t figure out whether I’m a good person or a bad person.)

Listening to Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan's heart sank to the bottom.

I'm afraid it's not just Senior Yao, all the strong people of the same status as Senior Yao are like this.

Perhaps many people, at the beginning, had a chivalrous heart that upheld justice.

However, as time goes by, various practical problems arise, gradually, bit by bit, wearing away, flattening, and even abandoning that heart.

Xiao Yan thought so and couldn't help but ask.

(Senior Yao, will I be like this in the future?)

(Will I become the kind of person who is used to seeing tragic things but is not moved by them?)

(Perhaps I am just lucky that my righteous path has lasted until now.)

Yes, good luck.

Xiao Yan thought about it carefully and felt that he had not encountered anything so far that he could not overcome as long as he adhered to the righteous path.

Maybe I am just lucky to be able to stay on the right path.

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Chen paused slightly.

Then, he smiled helplessly.

(Xiao Yanzi, let me tell you that luck plays a big part in everything in this world.)

(When I was alive, everyone envied my strength and my status.)

(There are people who respect me and think that everything I have is obtained through hard work.)

(Some people are jealous of me and think that everything I have is just luck.)

(I neither confirm nor refute the evaluations of these two types of people.)

(They are all right.)

(I did work very hard at the beginning, but if I hadn’t been lucky, I wouldn’t have achieved the strength and status I did.)

(But the opposite is also true. No matter how enviable our luck is, without those efforts, this luck will just slip away.)

(As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes.)

(The same is true for your righteous path.)

Yao Chen's figure emerged from the ring and stood in front of Xiao Yan. His ruby-like eyes stared into Xiao Yan's black eyes, and his stunning face showed an unprecedented seriousness.

"Xiao Yan, our disciple."

"Your success along the righteous path is definitely due to luck."

“But it’s not just luck.”

"We have seen with our own eyes the efforts you have made, the determination you have made, and everything you have done so far."

"In the Xiao family, you could have enjoyed the foundation-building spirit liquid yourself without being blamed by anyone, but you were willing to share it with your brothers and sisters in the clan."

"In the Monster Mountain Range, you could have taken all the wealth of the deceased, but you only took that one Ice Spirit Flame Grass. If it wasn't for your master, you wouldn't have taken even that one herb."

"In the Tagor Desert, you were not responsible for the dying Queen Medusa, but in order to repay her for saving you, you were willing to risk your life and step into the strange fire to give her the Blood Lotus Pill. Later, in order to keep Boss Yao's promise, you were willing to help the Little Medical Fairy suppress the poisonous gas even though you were poisoned and your appearance was damaged."

"And in the Jia Ma Empire, you could have naturally accepted Yunshan's invitation to be your disciple, but for the sake of your master and your own righteous path, you firmly refused, even at the cost of your life, to win the bet."

"All of this is a choice you made with no regrets through your own will."

"Which of these things didn't harm your interests? Which of them didn't nearly kill you?"

"But you still chose this! And you didn't regret it at all afterwards!"

"Xiao Yan, I am sure that the things you have done so far cannot be done by anyone I know, including me, your master!"

Yao Chen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiao Yan's heart hard.

"Xiao Yan, raise your head. Don't be modest. Don't think that you can get to where you are today just by luck!"

"What you have done, the choices you have made, and the efforts you have made for your righteous path far outweigh that luck!"

Yao Chen's voice was so sonorous and powerful.

Does Xiao Yan have luck?

Yes! Yao Chen will not deny it!

His greatest luck is that he is alive today!

Every time I was only half a step away from death, I survived because of various kinds of good luck.

But precisely because of this, Xiao Yan seems even more rare!

Yao Chen was certain that if it were someone else, let alone so many times, even if he had just crawled back from the gates of hell once, he would never do the same thing again.

However, Xiao Yan is different.

No matter how many times he was on the verge of death, Xiao Yan would not reflect on himself at all!

Even if the same time, the same place, and the same event happened again, Xiao Yan would definitely make the same choice and would never repent!

This is what makes Yao Chen truly admire his disciple.

If you say you want to take the right path, then take the right path without any deviation.

The path of righteousness lasts until death!

This! Is something that no one else can do!

"So, Xiao Yan is our most proud disciple."

Yao Chen stared at Xiao Yan closely and said in a solemn voice.

“Don’t doubt your future. Just keep your heart and move forward firmly.”

“No matter what others think, no matter how many setbacks you encounter, I always believe that you will make it to the end.”

Looking at Yao Chen who looked so serious, Xiao Yan was stunned for a long time.

What emerges in my heart is a touching feeling that penetrates my heart.

My eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Senior Medicine"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, his expression full of confidence. He clasped his hands together and saluted Yao Chen solemnly.

"Disciple, I will obey the master's orders!"

Chapter 310 Because I Want

In the early morning, a new day began, and the sunlight shone through the windows at the south corner of Black Silver City. This was also the only chance for Xiao Yan to feel the sunlight in the day in the house he rented.

"Haa~~~"

After the routine morning wash, Xiao Yan yawned as he went downstairs and came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, only to see Xiao Yixian already busy at the stove.

"Good morning, Little Doctor Fairy."

Xiao Yan greeted Xiao Yixian with a smile, and Xiao Yixian turned her head slightly to glance at him.

"Good morning." The Little Medical Fairy looked at the big pot in front of her again and said softly, "Breakfast is almost ready. Go wake everyone up to eat breakfast."

"Ah."

Xiao Yan turned around and went upstairs again. He happened to meet Feng Qing'er who was coming downstairs and greeted her softly.

"Feng Qing'er, good morning."

"Ah."

Feng Qing'er moaned softly, and Xiao Yan asked with a chuckle.

"How's the room? Are you used to sleeping in it?"

"It's good. At least it's better than sleeping on the floor."

Feng Qing'er said this, referring to the hotel where there was not even a bed the day before yesterday. Xiao Yan smiled and gently moved aside to make way.

"Go down first. Breakfast will be ready soon. I'll go wake the children up."

Feng Qing'er nodded and walked past Xiao Yan to the first floor. Xiao Yan first went up to the third floor to wake up the siblings Lu Qiong and Lu Jing. Seeing them rubbing their sleepy eyes, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile.

Looks like you slept well~

This is of course. Before, the bed in this room was just padded with some rags, and people basically slept on a hard bed board without even a pillow or a quilt. The bedding and quilts that Xiao Yan bought yesterday greatly improved the sleep quality of the two children.

As for the gold coins placed on the table in Lu Qiong and Lu Jing's room, Little Medical Fairy collected them after obtaining their consent. After all, there were more than 30 bags of gold coins. Not only did they take up space on the table, but they also made people feel quite unsafe.

Xiao Yan gently pushed Lu Qiong and Lu Jing to the private room to wash up. After washing up, he took them downstairs and went to the room of Wen Xing and Liu Yiyi.

Xiao Yan gently pushed the door open and entered, only to find that the two had already gotten up and put on their clothes.

Wen Xing was instinctively startled when he saw the door being suddenly pushed open, but then he relaxed. Liu Yiyi hid behind Wen Xing in fear.

After all, Liu Yiyi had been in a coma yesterday and knew nothing from beginning to end. To her, Xiao Yan was just a stranger she met for the first time, so it was normal for her to feel scared.

"Yiyi, don't be afraid, this is the big brother who helped us yesterday. Say thank you."

Wen Xing leaned slightly to the side and comforted his sister softly. Liu Yiyi timidly poked her head out from behind Xiao Yan and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, big brother."

After saying that, Liu Yiyi hid behind Wen Xing again like a frightened rabbit. This made Xiao Yan suddenly recall the scene when he first met Qing Lin. At that time, Qing Lin was as shy as Liu Yiyi.

But compared to Liu Yiyi, Qinglin is much luckier because he has Xiao Wei's care.

But,

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wen Xing, his eyes full of tenderness.

Even though there is a huge gap in strength and status, the sense of security that Wen Xing gives Liu Yiyi is almost the same as the sense of security that Xiao Ji gives Qing Lin.

Xiao Yan smiled softly and waved to the two of them.

"Let's go wash our faces and have breakfast~"

Seeing that Wen Xing wanted to say something, Xiao Yan spoke first before he could open his mouth.

"Even if you feel embarrassed, your sister hasn't eaten all night. She must be very hungry now, right?"
