Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

I can only pray here that Xiao Yan will follow my wishes and take the initiative to find me and take over the matter.

Chapter 331 Chance Encounter

In the early morning, at the entrance of the restaurant, Xiao Yan squatted in front of Wen Xing and gave him and the children instructions again.

"Remember, don't get into conflict with anyone. Don't be sad even if your whole day's work is in vain. Protecting your own safety is the most important thing."

"Ok, I know."

Wen Xing nodded solemnly, and the little medical fairy beside him squatted down and looked at the three children who were assigned to settle the accounts, and told them not to be anxious.

Feng Qing'er stood behind with her arms folded, watching the little medical fairy and Xiao Yan instructing the children over and over again like old mothers, and couldn't help but feel helpless.

These two people are really... With the way you are, when will they be able to be independent?

Originally, Feng Qing'er thought that only Xiao Yan was like this, but it turned out that Xiao Yixian cared about the children just as much as Xiao Yan did.

The scene was like a parent who was away from home tirelessly reminding his or her children to be safe. In the eyes of others, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian were like a couple.

Couple

Thinking of this, Feng Qing'er frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, and urged in a low voice.

"How long are you two going to waste? The time is almost up."

"Okay, got it." Xiao Yan nodded, then stood up and waved to the children, "Then we'll go first. Remember to be careful and never quarrel with anyone!"

"Alright, alright~ Don't worry, Brother Xiao Yan, we have been working here for so many days and are already familiar with the work of the restaurant. There won't be any major problems."

"Sister Qing'er, goodbye!"

Wen Xing waved his hand, and as the children saw them off, Xiao Yan and the other two slowly walked towards the auction house. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian looked back every few steps, and both of them had a look of worry in their eyes.

"How about we not open the business today and send the kids home to rest for a day?"

Xiao Yan murmured in a low voice, and recognition appeared in the eyes of the Little Medical Fairy beside him.

It's really worrying to let those kids open their own shops.

Feng Qing'er curled her lips helplessly.

"Don't you want them to open their own shop? If you keep protecting them like this, when will they be able to be independent?"

"This"

Feng Qing'er's words made Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan's faces freeze.

Feng Qing'er was right. They could help for a while, but not forever. Sooner or later, the restaurant would have to be handed over to the children to run themselves. If they didn't dare to let go even for today, let alone in the future.

"Although this is the Black Horn Region, as long as there is no conflict with others, no one will attack a child for no reason. Besides, everyone with a little bit of strength will go to the auction house today, so there is no need to worry."

Feng Qing'er spoke to comfort him again, saying that it was true that the Black Horn Region was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and there were many people who bullied the weak, but the prerequisite was that it was profitable.

There was only so much money in the restaurant today, so what if they robbed it all? As long as the children didn't cause the other party's dissatisfaction, nothing would happen.

The children must have remembered Xiao Yan’s instructions just now, and would never conflict with others under any circumstances.

The most important thing is the last sentence. Today is the annual Black Seal City auction. All those strong people who don't regard the weak as human beings have gone to the auction house to try their luck. Few people would take advantage of this time to cause trouble for a small restaurant.

After hearing Feng Qing'er's words, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian remained silent, but just nodded silently.

It seemed that Feng Qing'er's comforting effect took effect, but the worry in the eyes of the two did not fade away at all, which made Feng Qing'er sigh.

It looks like Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian will have to stay in the Black Horn Region for quite some time. Judging from their current performance, the children will definitely not be able to leave the Black Horn Region unless they can completely reassure them.

I really don't understand why they do this kind of thing in the Black Horn Region without asking for anything in return.

As Feng Qing'er thought about this, she suddenly recalled every detail of her interactions with Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy during this period, and her heart trembled slightly.

No.

Maybe I understand a little bit

On the way to the auction house, the three of them saw a lot of people flowing towards the auction house. When they arrived in front of the auction house, there was already a sea of ​​people in front of the auction house, which made Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.

(There are too many people.)

(The auction house in Black Seal City is held only once a year, and every time you can find all kinds of high-level cultivation elixirs in it. Not to mention those who come to join in the fun, all the famous forces come.)

Yao Chen said this in his heart, and when he mentioned the four words "famous", a hint of contempt unconsciously revealed in his words.

She said this just to give these forces a little face. In her heyday, all these sects combined would not be worth her attention.

Suddenly, Yao Chen discovered something and let out a cry of surprise.

(Oh? I met someone you know~)

(Ah? An acquaintance?)

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, but before he could understand what was going on, a fierce fighting spirit separated the crowd in front of Xiao Yan to both sides, and a graceful green-haired girl ran towards him happily.

"Master Xiao Yan!"

"Qinglin?!"

Seeing the girl running towards them excitedly, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian were both stunned, and then they saw two tall women with green hair following Qing Lin.

One is Dou Huang, the other is Dou Wang.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian also knew that Dou Huang. He was the Lu Man who had brought Qing Lin to the Heavenly Snake Palace before. The other one should also be from the Heavenly Snake Palace.

"Master Xiao Yan! Long time no see!"

Qing Lin excitedly threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms. Xiao Yan's face also showed joy as he looked at the girl in his arms whom he hadn't seen for nearly three months. The Little Medical Fairy beside him also greeted Qing Lin with a smile.

"Qinglin, long time no see~"

Qinglin turned his head and looked at her with a smile.

"Sister, Little Medical Fairy, long time no see~"

Feng Qing'er, who was standing by, gently tugged at Xiao Yan's clothes and asked in a low voice.

"People you know?"

"Well, this is the child adopted by my sister." Xiao Yan briefly introduced Feng Qing'er, then turned to look at Lu Man, "Senior Lu Man, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"During this period, the Saint Girl has been concentrating on cultivation and has not had much time to rest. It just so happens that our Heavenly Snake Palace will send people to the Black Seal City Auction, so I will take the Saint Girl out to relax." Lu Man replied with a smile, and then introduced the Dou Wang next to him to Xiao Yan, "This is Elder Qing who belongs to the Heavenly Snake Palace with me."

"Elder Qing, this is Xiao Yan, the younger brother of Xiao Jing whom I mentioned to you before."

After Lu Man's brief introduction, Elder Qing and Xiao Yan nodded slightly to each other in greeting.

At this time, Xiao Yan lowered his head and was about to say something to Qing Lin again, but suddenly his brows furrowed and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Qinglin?! You have broken through to the Douling level???"

Are you kidding me?! Qinglin wasn't even this high when she left! It's only been three months since she left with Luman. Isn't this level too high?!

Qing Lin smiled softly when he heard Xiao Yan's surprised words, but did not answer.

Being able to improve his strength means that he will be able to help Xiao Ji in the future, which is what Qing Lin has always dreamed of.

And Lu Man proudly puffed out his chest and said proudly.

"I've said it before, there's absolutely no problem handing the Saint over to us~"

The cultivation methods of the Heavenly Snake Palace that are aimed at the Three-Flower Pupil of the Green Snake are really suitable for Qinglin. Even the Palace Master of the Heavenly Snake Palace did not expect that Qinglin's strength could be improved so quickly. This makes the Heavenly Snake Palace value this saint girl even more.

However, although Dou Ling’s previous rapid improvement was shocking, it is not impossible, and it will not be so fast in the future.

Even so, if it continues like this, it is definitely not a dream for Qinglin to grow into a Dou Zun! Maybe in the future, Tianshe Mansion will produce a Qingshe Zun! It will truly become a first-class force on the continent!

Originally, under this circumstance, the Heavenly Snake Mansion was absolutely unwilling to let Qing Lin leave the Heavenly Snake Mansion at all. If something happened, he would have no place to cry.

But remembering the message from Xiao Ji that Lu Man had brought to them before, they understood that if they wanted Qing Lin to be willing to stay in the Tianshe Mansion, they had to coax her well, otherwise it would be a big trouble if Xiao Ji came to their door one day.

In desperation, he had to let Lu Man bring Qing Lin to the auction to relax, so as to prevent Qing Lin from feeling irritated staying in the Sky Snake Palace. The Black Horn Region was not a dangerous place for the Sky Snake Palace.

In order to completely guarantee Qinglin's safety, the mansion lord even gave Qinglin his most precious life-saving magic weapon, and also gave Lu Man the unconditional power to contact the Heavenly Snake Mansion for assistance. The Heavenly Snake Mansion was also on standby at all times, and as long as it received an order, it would immediately send strong men from the mansion to rescue. This was enough to show how much the Heavenly Snake Mansion valued Qinglin.

To be honest, if the Lord of the Palace was not worried that the long period of vacancy in the Heavenly Snake Palace would attract external enemies, he would want all the high-level masters of the Heavenly Snake Palace to accompany Qing Lin to provide protection!

"Since we've met here, that means you're here for the auction, right?" Lu Manqing spread out one hand and said with a smile, "We at the Heavenly Snake Mansion have prepared a special VIP seat. Do you want to come along?"

After hearing Lu Man's question, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian had no objection. After all, they came to the auction house to sell some things, so it didn't matter where.

However, Feng Qing'er saw the inquiring looks from the two people, glanced at Lu Man and softly refused.

"You guys go ahead. I have VIP tickets here." Feng Qing'er took out the black invitation letter and waved it, then continued, "Also, the things I want to buy may conflict with yours, so it's better for us not to stay together, so as not to hurt the relationship."

"Hmm~~~That's true."

Lu Man shrugged lightly and did not try to keep Feng Qing'er. After all, Feng Qing'er was just Xiao Yan's friend and was not familiar with him at all.

And what Feng Qing'er said was right. Anyone with a little bit of power knew what was being sold at this auction, and each of them had already decided on their desired targets. If they really stayed together and came across something that both of them wanted, it would be easy for unpleasantness to occur.

"So go ahead, you two have a lot to talk about with this little sister, don't you?"

Feng Qing'er glanced at Qing Lin who was leaning in Xiao Yan's arms, trying her best to sound indifferent, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

After all, I will be leaving Black Horn Region after the auction, and this should be the last time I spend with them. It is natural to feel lonely.

However, no matter how lonely Feng Qing'er was, she could not ask the two of them to accompany her directly. She could not bring herself to do so.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yixian, Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Yan, and then the two of them looked at Feng Qing'er, all of them showing a knowing smile, which made Feng Qing'er tremble.

"What are you doing? What do the two of you mean by that expression?"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian did not answer Feng Qing'er's question. They both shrugged helplessly. Then Xiao Yan looked at Lu Man and said softly.

"I'm very sorry, Senior Lu Man, although I also want to have a good chat with Qing Lin, but we have an appointment with this friend, and it is really inappropriate to leave her alone like this."

"Huh?! Are you sick? If you want to go, just go ahead. What does it have to do with me?"

Feng Qing'er had a look of surprise and doubt on her face, while Little Medical Fairy covered her mouth with her hands and smiled wickedly.

"If you feel lonely, just say it out loud. It's not something to be ashamed of~"

"Varied?!!"

Feng Qing'er's face instantly turned red when her true feelings were exposed, and she roared and stood up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Who's lonely?! I'm most comfortable when I'm alone!!!"

"Yeah, yeah~ So we are the ones who are lonely. We don't want to leave you, and we want to stay with you a little longer before you go. Is that okay?"

The Little Medical Fairy narrowed her eyes, smiled and nodded, which made Feng Qing'er so angry that her whole body trembled and she couldn't say a word.

Although Xiao Yixian has been on guard against Feng Qing'er during this period, that was only regarding Xiao Yan's affairs. At least as for Feng Qing'er herself, Xiao Yixian really had no opinion.

Although she seems cold, she is actually warm-hearted, serious about her work and principled. Putting Xiao Yan aside, Xiao Yixian really has no reason to hate Feng Qing'er. In her heart, she really regards her as a friend, and naturally cannot bear to let Feng Qing'er spend her last days in the Black Horn Region alone.

While Xiao Yixian and Feng Qing'er were interacting, Xiao Yan looked at Lu Man and asked.

"Senior Lu Man, can Qing Lin's return be delayed a little?"

"Just go back tomorrow."

Lu Man replied calmly, and Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"That's good." Xiao Yan knelt down, looked at Qing Lin who looked sad and said softly: "Qing Lin, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you now, but I will go to my restaurant after the auction. Let’s have a nice chat, okay?”

"Ok!"

Qinglin, who was originally a little depressed, immediately nodded and responded happily without hesitation.

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Lu Man and Elder Qing were both stunned.

You. You own a restaurant? In the Blackhorn area?

Lu Man and Elder Qing looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

It takes great courage to open a restaurant in a place like Black Horn. Not to mention making money, it would be good enough if you don't lose money.

However, the two of them did not complain out loud. After all, it had nothing to do with them.

At this time, the door of the auction house opened and the staff of the auction house shouted loudly.

"The annual auction in Black Seal City is about to begin. Please come in!"

"Master Xiao Yan, Sister Little Medical Fairy, see you later~"

Qing Lin waved goodbye to Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian, and was then protected by Lu Man and Elder Qing as he walked through the crowd and entered the auction house.

"Let's go in too."
