Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Immediately, his face suddenly became gloomy and he turned to look at the fat man who was still unconscious lying on the ground.

While the children are not paying attention to you, do what you need to do.

A red light flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He bent down slightly, grabbed the fat man by the collar, and slowly left the place, walking past the crowd of onlookers.

Among the crowd, Han Feng, who had arrived at some point, was looking at Xiao Yan's receding back. In her field of vision, a wisp of black gas slowly flowed out from Xiao Yan's body and lingered around him.

This made Han Feng frown slightly.

What it is?

Chapter 327 Han Feng's Conversation

In the dark alley, Xiao Yan had a gloomy look on his face as he stared coldly at the headless body of the fat man in front of him. The wall was stained with a disgusting white and red liquid.

As expected, he shouldn't have expected anything from these scum in the Black Horn Region, not even a little bit.

Just now, Xiao Yan dragged the unconscious fat man around the street for a whole circle. After asking many people and hearing the unanimous evaluation of the fat man by passers-by, Xiao Yan came to a conclusion.

The fat man in front of me deserves to be put to death.

Then Xiao Yan dragged him into the alley, woke him up and said he wanted to kill him.

Even if the other party has definitely violated his bottom line, Xiao Yan will not kill an unconscious person.

Not only did Xiao Yan want to follow his own righteous path, but he also wanted the fat man to witness the moment before his death with his own eyes.

It would be great if he could feel even a little bit of remorse for this.

The final result was just like the scene that appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes.

These damn scum.

There was a scarlet light flashing in Xiao Yan's eyes, making him look particularly frightening in the dark alley. The terrifying black aura emanating from his body took a long time to dissipate.

According to what he had found out, among all the bad things this fat man had done, collecting so-called protection money was the most merciful one.

Human trafficking, murder and robbery, bullying men and women. It can almost be described as a complete evil.

Xiao Yan knew in his heart that there were people like him everywhere in the Black Horn Region, it was just that the fat man was unlucky to have run into him.

Xiao Yan now felt sincerely grateful that he did not let this guy go. It was really great.

If he lets this guy go this time, even if he behaves better during his time in the Black Horn Region, he will still do the same thing after he leaves, and may even cause trouble for the children.

In the ring, Yao Chen, who had been silent these days, frowned tightly.

Xiao Yan is getting more and more used to killing people

It’s not that killing such people is wrong. Moreover, in this world, killing is an extremely common thing.

But the key issue is that Xiao Yan gradually came to believe that killing was right.

According to Yao Chen's understanding, killing is not about right or wrong, it only depends on whether it is necessary.

The belief that killing is a correct act does not matter to other people who believe in the law of the jungle.

But Yao Chen was sure that justifying the act of killing would be very bad for Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's righteous path and his desire to change the philosophy of the survival of the fittest cannot be achieved simply by killing these so-called evil guys; it may even have the opposite effect.

Xiao Yan should have been very clear about this.

But now, Xiao Yan has gradually moved to another extreme, all because of the influence of the black energy.

If this continues, it will be really detrimental to Xiao Yan's future.

As Yao Chen was thinking this in his heart, Xiao Yan also collected the headless body of the fat man, turned around and left the alley, and the black aura on his body gradually faded away.

Just as Xiao Yan stepped out of the alley, he saw a person standing in front of him.

The person who came was Han Feng.

"Senior Han? Why are you here?"

Xiao Yan was stunned and looked at Han Feng in front of him in confusion.

Han Feng said nothing, but just frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Yan quietly.

The black energy on my body disappeared

No, to be more precise, it returned to Xiao Yan's body.

Han Feng had not experienced this kind of fear from the depths of his soul for a long time.

Even the Soul Palace that made people's souls feel uncomfortable instinctively was not as frightening as the black energy that just emanated from Xiao Yan.

However, now, in Han Feng's eyes, Xiao Yan was so pure and kind, and there was no trace of the ferocious look he had when he smashed the fat man with one punch just now.

Is this really the same person?

Han Feng's heart sank slightly.

Originally, her impression of Xiao Yan was slowly changing for the better. Even Han Feng thought that perhaps before long, she would be able to truly entrust everything to him.

But now it seems too early.

Han Feng turned around under Xiao Yan's puzzled gaze and slowly left.

Still need to watch it for a while longer.

At least we need to figure out what's going on with the black energy on Xiao Yan's body.

Xiao Yan looked at Han Feng's back as he gradually disappeared in the crowd, raised his eyebrows in confusion, and then walked towards the restaurant.

After returning to the restaurant, Xiao Yixian, who was counting the bills behind the counter, saw Xiao Yan walk in and asked softly.

"Dealt with it?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded. The Little Medical Fairy smiled softly, leaned on the counter with her chin lightly resting on her hand, looked at Xiao Yan and spoke slowly.

"Xiao Yan, have you noticed that you have changed a lot since you first met me?"

".Feel it a little bit."

Xiao Yan answered softly. He didn’t need Xiao Yixian to remind him, as he could feel it himself.

I have indeed changed a lot compared to when I first started traveling.

Xiao Yan looked at Little Medical Fairy and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Yixian, do you think my change is good or bad?"

"If you ask me what I mean, I will naturally say [OK]." Little Medical Fairy answered without hesitation: "When we first met, you really gave me the impression of being a nice guy, nice to the point of being annoying. I am personally very pleased that you have changed now."

The Little Medical Fairy paused and continued.

"But, this is just my opinion, don't take it to heart."

"You don't have to change in order to follow me. If you do, you will no longer be yourself."

"What really matters is what kind of person you want to be and what kind of things you want to do. No one else, no matter who they are, has the right to interfere."

The Little Medical Fairy spoke so sincerely.

In the past, she had been annoyed more than once by Xiao Yan's overly upright character, and had hoped more than once that Xiao Yan could learn to be flexible.

However, later on, after spending more time with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian finally figured it out.

No, there's no need to be annoyed.

This is Xiao Yan, and this is how Xiao Yan should be.

If he is no longer upright, then he is no longer the Xiao Yan that he knows.

What kind of person Xiao Yan should be cannot be defined by others; it is up to him to decide.

If he feels that this is okay with him, then let him keep doing it.

But now it seems that Xiao Yan has slowly discovered the problems with himself.

This is a good thing for both Xiao Yan and the righteous path he wants to promote.

"Okay, okay~ Don't think too much, let's go cook first. Wen Xing and Lu Qiong are busy in the kitchen right now. It's a good thing there aren't many guests today."

The Little Medical Fairy chuckled and waved her hand to urge him. Xiao Yan smiled slightly and walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at Xiao Yan's back, Little Medical Fairy smiled faintly.

Indeed, Xiao Yan's integrity made him very annoyed.

But on the other hand, if it weren't for that annoying integrity, he wouldn't have risked his life for himself so many times.

"As long as we are human, no one is perfect."

The Little Medical Fairy sighed lightly and continued to calculate today's accounts with her head down.

Time flies, time passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it had been almost three weeks since the restaurant opened. In the middle, it had encountered several troubles, which were finally resolved with various methods. This also made Xiao Yan realize that if he wanted the children to run the restaurant themselves, it would not work without hiring guards from the auction house.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian also roughly sorted out the restaurant's accounts for the past half month. Excluding various miscellaneous costs and adding the guards' fees, they could earn about 100,000 a month.

It sounds like a lot, but in the Black Horn Region, these 100,000 are really nothing.

However, although it is nothing in the Black Horn Region, it is really enough for these children.

They have a place to live, a stable job, and no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation. This is exactly the life they have always dreamed of.

During this period of time, Feng Qing'er finally learned how to cook.

Although the taste is just so-so, at least it's edible.

The person who was most happy about Feng Qing'er learning to cook was not Feng Qing'er herself, but Wen Xing.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian often didn't have time, so they asked Wen Xing to teach Feng Qing'er how to cook. Since these two people who had helped him so much asked him so seriously, Wen Xing couldn't refuse.

How could he refuse? He and his brothers and sisters, whether it was where they lived or where they worked, were all built by Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian. Now they were just asking him to teach others how to cook. How could Wen Xing refuse?

So, Wen Xing forced himself to teach Feng Qing'er how to cook again and again, and during this period Wen Xing had more than one quarrel with Feng Qing'er.

But what's outrageous is that the relationship between the two not only did not deteriorate, but became much closer than before.

Every day in the kitchen at home, the quarrels between Wen Xing and Feng Qing'er were almost a routine event. At first, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian tried to persuade them to stop, but later they got used to it and just let them quarrel without trying to stop them.

At the same time, Xiao Yixian also took time out to practice during this period of time and successfully broke through to the Dou Ling level. It seemed that from this day on, there were fewer people coming to the restaurant to cause trouble, which made Xiao Yan sigh.

Feng Qing'er is a Dou Ling who serves as a waiter, and Xiao Yixian is a Dou Ling who settles accounts. Their deterrent power is indeed very strong.

This can almost be said to be the basic configuration for the shops in the Black Horn Region. If you don't have the strength of a Dou Ling, you'd be embarrassed to even look at a shop.

In addition, with the help of Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian also successfully absorbed the Millennium Ice Soul, which not only made her poisonous body more stable, but also Xiao Yixian's fighting spirit now contained not only poison but also ice attribute, which greatly improved her strength.

In comparison, Xiao Yan's strength improvement was not that rapid. In just over half a month, he only improved from a three-star Grand Fighter to a four-star Grand Fighter. However, Xiao Yan did not have the physique to be afflicted with the evil poison after all, and his mind was completely focused on the restaurant in the past half month, so this was normal.

"I told you to use salt in moderation! In moderation! How much is a can of salt?! Doesn't it taste salty to you???"

"Don't just say the right amount! Can you give me a specific number?!"

At night, in the rented house, Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan were teaching the children to read and learn as usual, while the quarrel between Wen Xing and Feng Qing'er could be heard from the kitchen as usual.

As for this, Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian, and the other children had already gotten used to it and completely let it go in one ear and out the other, not being affected at all.

At this time, Han Feng walked down from upstairs, stood at the stairs, and quietly watched Xiao Yan's back as he sat at the table.

During the past half month, Han Feng, who lived here, was basically a invisible person, and he could only be seen once a day at mealtime.

During this period of time, Han Feng, through the way Xiao Yan dealt with those troublemakers, roughly figured out what the black energy on Xiao Yan was.

In short, when Xiao Yan extremely hates someone, the black energy will be revealed, and it will become more and more intense each time.

To be honest, after coming to this conclusion, Han Feng wanted to leave and look for the next candidate on the spot.

The black gas really made Han Feng uneasy. Han Feng also concluded through his knowledge that even if the black gas could be dealt with, it would definitely not be completely dealt with in the short term.

Unfortunately, I don’t have that much time to waste on this now.

However, in the end, after hesitating for a long time, Han Feng still stayed.

There is no special reason, it’s simply that Xiao Yan’s character and behavior really make him the best candidate in his mind.

At least when the black gas did not appear, Han Feng could not find any fault with Xiao Yan's actions in terms of integrity. The word "bad" had nothing to do with Xiao Yan.

Han Feng dared to conclude that no one was more worthy of his trust than Xiao Yan.
