Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"No problem."

Han Feng said calmly, then raised the hand covered with burns, and a gold coin card appeared between his fingers and was placed in front of Xiao Yan.

Then, in front of Xiao Yan's astonished gaze, Han Feng continued.

"Here are 10 million gold coins as payment for my living here."

!!!

Looking at the gold coin card in front of him, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.

Ten million gold coins! Just give it like that? ? ?

Renting a house like this for only 600,000 a month!!!

Looking at the gold coin card in front of him, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with desire.

He was, really moved.

He didn’t feel it when he was in the Jia Ma Empire, but after coming to the Black Horn Region, Xiao Yan felt more and more how uncomfortable it was to be without money.

What's more, the restaurant is about to open, and it's a time when money is needed, so it's impossible for Xiao Yan not to want it.

However, the desire in Xiao Yan's eyes only lasted for two or three seconds before it immediately disappeared. He looked serious and pushed the gold coin card back.

"Senior Han, I can't accept this money."

Han Feng seemed not to have expected Xiao Yan's action. His expression froze for a moment, then he turned calm and asked softly.

"You, don't want to?"

"To be honest, I really want it. What's more, I'm short of money right now."

Xiao Yan did not hide anything and answered directly.

Immediately, his tone became more serious.

"But the younger generation knows better that some money should be taken and some money should not be taken."

"The money that is due will not be refused by the younger generation."

"Young people must not touch money that they shouldn't have."

"To be honest, the monthly rent for this house is only 600,000 gold coins. Even if Senior Han lives here on a rental basis, how can it be worth 10 million gold coins?"

"Moreover, according to what Senior Han said, you were entrusted by Elder Jia to protect me. I haven't even had time to thank you enough, so how dare I accept such a large sum of money?"

"Therefore, I cannot accept this money. Otherwise, it would go against my principles. I hope Senior Han will not blame me."

Regardless of Han Feng's real purpose of living here, at least on the surface, Han Feng came here to protect himself and Xiao Yixiang.

It was a blessing to be protected by a Douhuang master. How could I have the nerve to take money from Han Feng on the pretext of room rent?

If I really did this, Xiao Yan would definitely look down on me.

Xiao Yixian, who had just come out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, also heard the conversation between the two. After hearing Xiao Yan refuse the 10 million gold coins, she almost shouted out loud.

Ten million! That’s ten million!!!

You won't even accept something that's given to you for free? Can you really bear to refuse it?!

However, this idea came from Xiao Yixiang's slightly greedy instinct.

The next moment, this thought disappeared from Xiao Yixian's mind, and then a helpless smile appeared on Xiao Yixian's face.

That's right, he even refused to give him money, which was a legitimate gift for him, let alone Han Feng, a stranger.

If Xiao Yan accepted this money, he would not be Xiao Yan.

Compared to the relief in the heart of the Little Medical Fairy who understood Xiao Yan, Han Feng was slightly stunned.

Ten million gold coins were nothing to him, but to Xiao Yan it was definitely a huge fortune.

What's more, he has seen it these days. Just as Xiao Yan said, he is very short of money now.

However, even so, after Xiao Yan frankly stated that he wanted the money, he firmly refused to put it in his pocket, simply because he felt that he should not take the money.

Many people say that they can resist temptation, but when the temptation is actually placed in front of them, it is another matter.

And the Xiao Yan in front of him was obviously the kind of person who stuck to his principles and was ruthless in rejecting temptations.

Really, are there such people?

Han Feng asked himself this question in his heart, and at the same time another guess came to his mind.

Or maybe this amount of money is not enough to shake his principles.

However, these are just Han Feng's own guesses, and they cannot determine what kind of person Xiao Yan is.

But at least up to now, Xiao Yan was indeed, just as Xiao Yixian had described to him, upright to the point of being outrageous.

This gave Han Feng a glimmer of hope and expectation.

In Han Feng's eyes, Xiao Yan was just a person being tested. Han Feng was prepared that Xiao Yan would disappoint him.

If Xiao Yan is not able to do it, then he will have to hurry and find the next one.

However, on the other hand, Han Feng sincerely hoped that Xiao Yan could meet his psychological expectations.

Because I really don’t have time.

It is even possible that Xiao Yan is the last person he can test.

It would be best if Xiao Yan met his psychological expectations and was truly someone worthy of his trust.

"I see."

Han Feng nodded slightly and took the gold coin card back. Xiao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, it’s not easy to restrain yourself when you have 10 million in front of you.

Xiao Yan stood up by supporting himself on the table and said to Han Feng with a chuckle.

"Senior Han, I will go clean up your room now, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Xiao Yan turned around and went upstairs. At this time, Xiao Yixian walked out of the kitchen and came to the living room, looking at Han Feng who was sitting at the table with a cold expression.

Before Xiao Yixian could say anything, Han Feng spoke first.

"He is indeed, just like you said, a very upright person." Han Feng narrowed his brows slightly, his pale golden pupils flickering, "I have never seen such a person before."

".Hehe~ I just thought you were praising Xiao Yan." Xiao Yixian smiled softly and turned to look at the stairs. "I used to be the same. I used to think that Boss Yao was a very upright person, but compared to Xiao Yan, he is still far behind."

"No one in this world can match Xiao Yan's integrity."

Han Feng was silent for a moment, and a cold voice slowly floated out of his mouth.

"I hope so." A glimmer of hope flashed in Han Feng's eyes. "I hope he is really someone who can be trusted as you said."

"Ok?"

Han Feng's words made Xiao Yixian slightly stunned, and her eyes were full of confusion.

What does she mean by this?

[Teacher, can we go back to Xingyun Pavilion? ]

[Ah? Why do you keep wanting to go back to Xingyun Pavilion? We have so much fun staying outside, why go back? Are you homesick? ]

[No. I just think that you might be in danger recently.]

[Haha~ Feng'er, who do you think I am? I think you just miss home. It's normal for children to miss home. Don't be embarrassed.]

[.Yes, I just miss home, so can we go back? ]

[Hey~ It’s so boring to go back to Xingyun Pavilion, let’s go! I will take you to Luofengyu and let those beautiful sisters comfort you~]

【.】

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight poured in through the window, shining on the face of a blue-haired woman whose beauty could not be concealed even with burns on her face.

The blue-haired woman slowly opened her eyes, her light golden pupils looking at the slightly shabby ceiling in front of her.

This woman is Han Feng.

Han Feng sat up slowly, and gently stroked her slightly messy light blue hair with her burned right hand, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

I dreamed about that time again.

If she had listened to me then

Han Feng couldn't help but feel depressed, but he came to his senses after just a short moment.

Things have come to this, and there is no point in thinking about the past.

Han Feng adjusted her mentality, gently lifted the quilt, stepped lightly on the old but clean wooden floor, and slowly walked to the mirror hanging in the room.

Looking at the cold, burned, expressionless face in the mirror, Han Feng stared for a long time.

Slowly raise both hands, extend your index fingers and place them on the corners of your mouth on both sides, and lift them up slightly.

Then he saw the face in the mirror, which showed a smile without any smile at all.

This made Han Feng have the same question as always.

How can I smile as naturally as her?

Han Feng, I can't understand.

After thinking for a moment, he gave up thinking.

Never mind. This kind of thing doesn’t matter.

Han Feng turned around to change clothes and wash up. After washing up, he returned to the mirror and looked at himself in the white robe.

Let’s do our best today as well.

Han Feng is no longer planning to find her.

Although it was just a guess, it was very likely that he had been targeted by the Soul Palace, and most of what happened in the past had probably been exposed.

I guess it won't be long before that elder comes to deal with me personally.

Han Feng thought this in his heart and slowly left the room.

When he was about to go downstairs, he heard laughter coming from outside. He stopped and turned to the third-floor window. He looked at Xiao Yan, who was happily making tables, chairs and benches with the children in the open space outside.

Looking at the smile on Xiao Yan's face, Han Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and prayed silently in his heart.

Pray that Xiao Yan is the kind of person that I am looking for.

Chapter 325 Opening Business

Two days later, on the main street of Heiyin City, a newly opened store was decorated with big red ribbons in front of it, creating a festive and cheerful atmosphere.

This scene caused passers-by on the street to stop and look at the new store with strange eyes.

It’s not surprising to open a new store in Noire, but what’s surprising is that opening a store in Noire can be so festive.

In the past, new stores opened quietly and you wouldn’t even notice they were open if you didn’t pay attention. This is the first time I’ve seen a new store with so much going on.

What is Blackhorn? How can this place have anything to do with the festival?

Those who open a store in the Black Corner area, at least 80% of them, if not all of them, do so out of necessity. They open a store in such a place because they have nowhere else to go. Although the transaction amount is large, the high rent and the equally high purchase cost make it difficult to make much money. They also have to bear considerable risks and can go bankrupt if they are not careful.

Simply put, these small roadside shops are like wearing a wet cotton-padded jacket in winter - it's cold when you put it on, and even colder when you take it off.

Under such circumstances, who can be so happy to open a store?

However, just as the pedestrians were feeling quite strange about this, they were even more confused when they saw what kind of business this newly opened store was.

Wine. Restaurant?

Opening a restaurant in Blackhorn? Is this owner crazy?

How many people who come here care about the food? Isn't this just a loss-making business?

At this time, a man and a woman walked out of the store. They were Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian.

The Little Medical Fairy spread her arms and shouted to the passers-by on the road without any stage fright.

"Our restaurant has just opened, and we are offering a grand opening promotion! All dishes and drinks are 15% off today, and we welcome all guests to come in and support us!"

Xiao Yan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he watched Xiao Yixian's extremely skilled shouting.

It's true that everyone has strengths and weaknesses.
