Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Xiao Yixian is so confused! How can you be so proud when you can't cook? I believe you! Have you eaten the dishes you cooked? ! !

Unexpectedly, Feng Qing'er replied righteously.

"The elders in my family said that it doesn't matter whether you can do it or not, what matters is to have confidence."

Hearing Feng Qinger's confident words, the Little Medical Fairy was choked.

Confidence is a good thing, but you have to be confident in the situation. Is cooking something that can be done with confidence alone?

"Xiao Yixian, calm down, she is already very good."

Xiao Yan's expression relaxed a little, and he waved his hand gently to comfort Little Medical Fairy.

As a result, Xiao Yan's comfort did not help Xiao Yixian calm down, but made her even angrier.

"She cooked the dish like this! Is this considered good?!"

In response to this, Xiao Yan just responded indifferently.

"You will understand after you have tasted the food my sister cooked."

The dish made by Feng Qing'er was indeed very unpalatable, but everything is measured in comparison. Compared with the dish made by Xiao Yu, this dish was really quite good, just as Xiao Yan said.

Although it tastes bad, at least it is not fatal, and you can tell from the appearance that it is inedible.

They are nothing like the dishes made by Xiao Yu, which look tempting and smell delicious, but can take half of your life away after you take a bite.

"I'm sorry, Feng Qing'er." Xiao Yan looked at Feng Qing'er and said as tactfully as possible: "The dish you cooked is not that delicious. I can't serve it to the children. Let's wait until next time."

Xiao Yan then said to Little Medical Immortal.

"Xiao Yixian, please bring the dishes I cooked over. I'll clean up the kitchen."

"what"

After vomiting just now, Xiao Yixian's stomach, which was already hungry, felt even emptier. She responded weakly and went to serve the dishes and rice. Xiao Yan began to clean up the filth that he and Xiao Yixian had just made.

During this time, Feng Qing'er frowned and stared at the dish of unknown appearance that she had cooked, as if she was thinking about something.

After bringing the food to the table, Little Medical Fairy invited the children to have lunch. Seeing the children's eyes shining as they ate the food in their bowls, Little Medical Fairy forgot about the unpleasantness in the kitchen and smiled knowingly.

This should be the scene that Xiao Yan wanted to see.

After lunch, Xiao Yan asked Xiao Yixian and Feng Qing'er to take good care of the children, and he left the house again to buy stools.

There were so many children today, not to mention Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er had to eat lunch standing up, and the remaining seats had to be squeezed by the other children.

I need to get a bigger table and buy more chairs.

However, considering the prices in the Black Horn region, most of these things are not cheap. If you really can't make it, just buy some raw materials and make them yourself. Compared to finished products, wood and other things are not that expensive.

No matter what, what he wanted to do was gradually getting on track, which made Xiao Yan feel pretty good.

All that remains is to teach the children the basic knowledge according to your expectations, so that they can gradually learn survival skills other than stealing.

Originally, Xiao Yan wanted to let them hear his righteous path during this process, but this idea only flashed through his mind before Xiao Yan dismissed it.

The important thing about the right path is not what you say, but what you do.

Xiao Yan did not forget that this was the Black Horn Region. It was true that Xiao Yan wanted to change the Black Horn Region, but at least for now, the righteous ideals he held would only make the children die faster.

Xiao Yan helps these children for the sake of his own righteous path, and he will never let these children die for following his righteous path.

Before teaching them the right way, they must first be able to live in peace. This is Xiao Yan’s main concern.

But having said that, what means can these children in the Black Horn Region use to make a living?

Xiao Yan clenched his chin and kept thinking about what kind of jobs these children could do in the Black Horn Region, and it had to be a job that would allow them to support themselves even if he left.

Otherwise, it's meaningless.

How about making some pills yourself and then let these kids sell them?

No, no, in a place like the Black Horn Region, the other party will see that the people selling the pills are just some helpless kids, so how can a normal transaction be possible? Giving a small amount of money is considered good enough, and the slightly more ruthless ones will just rob you.

It's okay if I'm watching over them, but these kids definitely won't be able to do the job without me watching over them.

Moreover, elixirs need to be supplied. It was fine when I was here, but where could these kids find suppliers when I was not here? Besides, there were so many shops selling elixirs in the Black Horn Region. Even if these kids found suppliers, could they beat them?

It must be the kind of work that, in the eyes of practitioners, is not worth their while to rob, or it must be work that is impossible to rob, and that practitioners are willing to pay for.

Xiao Yan frowned, constantly thinking about what kind of work he should let the children do.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan unconsciously walked to the street, the worry expression on his face still did not fade away.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan heard a call in his ear.

"Master Xiao."

Xiao Yan turned his head and saw Yun Ying holding a folding fan in one hand and waving the other hand towards him gently.

"Brother Yun."

When he saw Yunying, the worry on Xiao Yan’s face immediately disappeared, and he strode up to Yunying.

Yunying looked at Xiao Yan's face, covered the corners of her mouth with her folding fan, and smiled slightly.

"Looking at Young Master Xiao's appearance, he seems to be in a good mood?"

"Yes, I have to thank Brother Yun for his advice, which let me know what I should do now."

Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with gratitude. If it weren't for Yunying's words that day, he might still be lost in grief.

In response, Yunying just smiled softly and did not answer.

What she said that day didn't have any deep meaning. She was just telling Xiao Yan what was in her heart. It was also the first time in the past thousand years that she had told others about her unforgettable past.

Even Gu Yuan, Xiao Xuan and others of the same period knew nothing about the tragic experiences he had encountered in his childhood.

They would never have imagined that they were once just little kids in the tribe whose death no one cared about.

At that time, I had only one thought, even in my dreams I was only thinking about one thing.

That is, become strong, so strong that no one can step on you.

To have the status he has now, he has endured countless hardships and pains, shed countless blood, and harmed countless people. He climbed up bit by bit from the bottom of the clan.

I told Xiao Yan that day that if I had someone like Xiao Yan by my side when I was experiencing such misery in my childhood, I would have been much better off.

But at the same time, if I had someone like Xiao Yan by my side at that time, I might not have wanted to become so strong, and I would not have the status I have today.

It's really contradictory.

But then again, I really didn't expect Xiao Yan to open an orphanage in a place like Black Horn Region.

This seemingly extremely abnormal thing happened to Xiao Yan, but Yunying didn't find it strange at all.

"Brother Yun, if you have nothing to do, how about we find a place to sit down?" Xiao Yan looked at Yun Ying eagerly, "I left in such a hurry when we met last time that I didn't have a good chat with you."

"I am very happy that Master Xiao has invited me. How could I not accept it?"

Yunying answered with a smile, and then walked on the street with Xiao Yan, looking for a place like a pub or teahouse where they could sit down and chat.

However, the two of them wandered around the streets for a long time and did not find a restaurant. This was something Xiao Yan had not expected.

No, this Black Seal City is so big, isn’t there even a place to eat?

As if she noticed Xiao Yan's confusion, Yun Ying explained with a smile.

"The Black Horn Region is a place of commerce. People who come here don't care about food. People who don't have extra money eat the dry food they bring with them, and people with more money stay in high-end hotels that provide meals. Naturally, there won't be too many restaurants."

"That's it"

Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, and then an idea came to his mind.

Wait, so this means there are very few places to eat in the Black Horn region?

Maybe you can do this?

Chapter 319 Opening a Restaurant in Black Horn

"Huh? A restaurant?"

Little Medical Fairy stared blankly at Xiao Yan who came running back excitedly. She was stunned for a long time and didn't understand what Xiao Yan meant for a moment.

Immediately, Xiao Yixian turned her gaze towards Yunying who was following Xiao Yan. Seeing the latter smiling and nodding at her, Xiao Yixian's brows slightly frowned.

Met her again.

For no apparent reason, Xiao Yixian inexplicably felt uncomfortable with Yunying, and always felt that she had some intentions towards Xiao Yan.

But again, it’s hard to explain. Little Medical Fairy really couldn’t figure out what Yunying could get from Xiao Yan.

At this time Xiao Yan spoke again and said to Little Medical Fairy.

"I have been thinking about how to make those children survive in the Black Horn Region even without us."

"Originally, I wanted to let the children sell elixirs and other things related to cultivation, but after careful consideration, it was not a good idea. It is difficult to find suppliers, and elixirs are easy to cause disputes with practitioners, and the children cannot handle it."

"But it's no problem for restaurants. Although the profit is not big, there are few disputes with cultivators. The prices in the Black Horn Region are a bit higher, but the cost of food is much lower in comparison. We can just increase the selling price a little bit. A meal is only one or two thousand gold coins. The cultivators who come to the Black Horn Region will care about this little money."

A meal costs one or two thousand gold coins, which would be considered a sky-high price in the Gama Empire.

However, this was the Black Horn Region, and when even low-level elixirs like the first and second grade could be sold for thirty or forty thousand gold coins, a meal costing one or two thousand gold coins was really cheap.

Xiao Yan didn't sell it for so much money just because he wanted the kids to make some dirty money. Considering the prices in the Black Horn Region, this price might even be lower than the cost. He could make adjustments later.

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Little Medical Fairy was stunned for a long time, and Feng Qing'er also looked at Xiao Yan strangely.

First he opened an orphanage, and then he opened a restaurant for these children. Is there really nothing wrong with this person?

After a while, the little medical fairy came back to her senses and nodded with a headache.

How to say it? Xiao Yixian knew that Xiao Yan might have messed up a lot of things during this period of time, but she didn't expect that he could mess up to this extent.

Only he could think of opening a restaurant in the Black Horn region.

With a sigh of relief, Little Medical Fairy looked at Xiao Yan and asked calmly.

"Xiao Yan, you said you wanted to open a restaurant so that the children can survive even after we leave, right? Have you considered the possibility of free dining?"

Hearing what Little Medical Fairy said, Xiao Yan responded immediately.

"Of course, the level of the cultivators who come to eat is not too high, so it is not that difficult to deal with. Whether it is hiring people or something else, it will not be that difficult to deal with."

Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with what Xiao Yan said. Generally speaking, cultivators above the Dou Ling level would practice fasting and did not have much demand for food, while cultivators below the Dou Ling level did not have many particular requirements for eating.

We have all come to the Black Horn Region, who is here to eat?

But it's better to have it than nothing.

If such a restaurant really appeared in the Black Horn Region, high-level practitioners would indeed look down on it, which would actually be a good thing.

The customer group of the restaurant are low-level practitioners. Since they have all come to the Black Horn Region, no one will care about the money. There are definitely some people who dine and eat for free, but not too many. Most people still have some shame and can always find a way to get through it.

"Hmm~~~"

The Little Medical Fairy put her hands on her hips, thought for a long time, sighed, and smiled helplessly.

"It seems that you have made up your mind, otherwise you wouldn't have thought about the problem so comprehensively."

In response, Xiao Yan replied softly.

“Of course, I’m not saying that opening a restaurant will definitely work, but it’s still a possibility that the children can live in peace.” Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming, “Since there is a possibility, it’s worth a try!”

Xiao Yan would even try his best for the impossible, not to mention that this matter was very feasible and there were definitely reasons worth trying.

Looking at Xiao Yan's spirited expression, Little Medical Fairy's eyebrows were gentle, her eyes full of affection.

Xiao Yan is like this. He will do impossible things and unnecessary things just to pursue his own righteous path.

It is this kind of him who leaves himself in this world time and time again.

In that case, what else is there to say?

Whatever he wants to do, I just follow him.

Xiao Yixian reached out her hand and flicked across the storage ring, took out the card with three million gold coins in it, and handed it to Xiao Yan, which startled Xiao Yan.

"Little Medical Fairy? What are you doing?"

"You don't have much money on you right now, right?"

In the past two days, Xiao Yan had been renting a house, buying furniture, and buying groceries. After all this spending, in this expensive Black Horn Region, Xiao Yan was afraid that there would not be much left of the one million gold coins he won from the Alchemist Conference.

When Xiao Yan heard what Little Medical Fairy said, he quickly waved his hands.
