Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Everyone around her said that her parents shouldn't have loved each other, and she herself shouldn't have been born into this world!

Gradually, Qinglin himself believed it.

Perhaps, as they say.

My parents were wrong, and I shouldn't exist.

However, when he saw the fireworks in front of him, this brilliant color that he had never seen before actually drove away all the darkness in his heart! An idea immediately emerged in his heart.

If I had not been born, I would not have been able to see such a beautiful scenery.

All the happy memories of the past, the support between my parents, and the love they had for me, all came to my mind, shattering all the doubts that I had acknowledged!

Father and mother are not wrong! They are not wrong!

I am not wrong! Being the daughter of my father and mother is the greatest happiness in my life!

I won't run away again!

Qinglin's eyes were filled with hope and longing for the future, and he declared it to himself in his heart.

I am Qinglin! I am the daughter that my father and mother love deeply! They are also my proud parents! We have no reason to be rejected by this world!!!

In addition to Nalan Yanran and Qinglin, Yao Chen in the ring was also staring at the fireworks blooming in the night sky with great concentration.

Obviously, the momentum was not that great for her. It was obvious that Yao Chen in the past could create a more spectacular scene than this firework with just any fighting skill.

However, looking at the brilliant fireworks in the night sky, Yao Chen couldn't suppress his deep emotion.

Tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of my eyes.

Oh, that's really weird.

Yao Chen was stunned and smiled unconsciously.

Obviously, the soul cannot shed tears.

Amid the deafening roar of fireworks, a voice was mixed in, and only Yao Chen could hear it clearly.

"Senior Yao! Happy New Year!!!"

Yao Chen in the ring stared blankly at Xiao Yan's hearty smile, and his heart was instantly filled with infinite warmth.

Xiao Yan’s smile made Yao Chen’s heart beat for the first time in his life.

Ever since he absorbed Xiao Yan's fighting spirit and awakened, and after spending a long time with Xiao Yan, Yao Chen couldn't help but have a question in his heart.

Compared to a disciple like me, is there really any value in my existence?

Is my life really worth reviving again?

Thoughts like these kept echoing in Yao Chen's mind, causing even some of the things that Yao Chen had already decided to become unclear.

Maybe, I should continue to sleep, maybe I shouldn't dream of reappearing in this world.

Xiao Yan's existence made Yao Chen feel so pessimistic that he couldn't help himself.

However, all these self-doubts disappeared at this moment.

Yeah, what are we thinking about?

Being so sentimental is really unlike me~

Looking at Xiao Yan's face, Yao Chen in the ring understood in his heart. A slight smile appeared on his beautiful face, and he responded softly in his heart.

(Ah~~~ Happy New Year~)

Yao Chen's gaze once again turned to the fireworks that were still blooming.

Yes, there is no need to be confused.

Because we are still alive now.

At this moment, Yao Chen couldn't help but have a firm idea in his heart.

Perhaps, I woke up again just to see this fireworks display~

Yao Chen silently thought this in his heart, looking at Xiao Yan, with an unfading tenderness in his eyes, and called out to Xiao Yan softly in his heart.

(Xiao Yan.)

(Hmm? Yao-senpai, what’s wrong?)

Xiao Yan asked back in confusion, Yao Chen smiled softly and said.

(It's great to meet you)

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned.

After a long time, Xiao Yan slowly came back to his senses, and his eyes became more gentle.

(Disciple, it is great to meet you.)

Chapter 47 Don’t let yourself regret it

On the second day after the Xiao family celebrated the New Year, the Xiao family members from other places left one after another. Nalan Yanran also said goodbye to Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan and prepared to return to the Yunlan Sect.

This trip to the Xiao family made her deeply aware of her current shortcomings in all aspects, and also made her more confident in the road ahead.

There was no time for her to waste.

Before leaving, Nalan Yanran left a few last words to Xiao Yan.

"I will never give up."

Looking at Nalan Yanran's receding back, Xiao Yan scratched his face lightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

At this time, Xiao Ji and Xiao Li also came out with Qing Lin, carrying their bags. Xiao Yan was slightly stunned and looked at them reluctantly.

"Sister, second sister, are you leaving too?"

"Ah~ We can't leave the mercenary group for too long."

Xiao Wei replied with a smile that although they had only stayed at home for two nights, including the time for going back and forth, they had been away from the mercenary group for a week.

"Don't be so sad~~~" Xiao Li grinned and stretched out her hand to rub Xiao Yan's hair, "Xiao Yanzi, come to the mercenary group to play when you have the chance. Second sister will treat you to grilled scorpions!"

"Well, I will definitely go if I have the chance." Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, then lowered his head and looked at Qing Lin, "Qing Lin, are you sure you want to return to the mercenary group?"

Xiao Jing and Xiao Li had talked to Xiao Yan before. They brought Qing Lin back this time because they wanted her to stay in the Xiao family, so that they could both feel more at ease. After all, the Tagor Desert was not as safe as Wutan City, and Qing Lin, as a hybrid of human and snake man, was not really welcome there.

However, after Xiao Jing talked with Qing Lin this morning, Qing Lin flatly refused and insisted on returning to the mercenary group with Xiao Jing and Xiao Li.

Now, facing Xiao Yan's question, Qing Lin also gave an answer.

"I want to work with Captain Xiao Jing and the others to change the current situation of humans and snake people! I don't want the tragedy of my father and mother to happen again!"

Qinglin's emerald green eyes were filled with persistence.

If humans and snake people could coexist peacefully, then his parents would not have ended up in such a tragic way. Qinglin knew this deep down in his heart.

That's why she wants to change!

Instead of expecting others to do it, why not get involved yourself?

The tragedy of my father and mother must never happen again!

Looking at Qing Lin's determined gaze, Xiao Yan smiled softly, squatted down and gently stroked Qing Lin's head.

"Well, come on~"

"Ok!"

Qinglin nodded vigorously.

At this moment, two voices suddenly came from the Xiao family.

"Where's Xiao Qinglin? Is he gone?!"

"Little Qinglin!!!"

When everyone looked back, they saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei running out of the Xiao family.

After seeing Qinglin standing at the door, Xiao Mei immediately pounced on her, hugged Qinglin tightly in her arms, and rubbed her little face back and forth.

"Wow, wow, wow!!! Xiao Qinglin, can you stay and accompany Sister Xiao Mei? I'll buy you whatever you want!"

It was rare to have a sister who could be taken care of by herself, but she had to leave after just two days of being together. Xiao Mei felt very reluctant.

"Mei'er! Don't say things that would embarrass Qinglin!"

Xiao Yu reached out and pulled Xiao Mei away from Qing Lin, and then ignored the crying Xiao Mei, slowly squatted down, and looked at Qing Lin tenderly.

"Xiao Qinglin, take good care of yourself when you go back~" Xiao Yu gently stroked Qinglin's hair and smiled softly, "Come to the Xiao family and play with your sisters during the New Year next year~"

“Okay~~~”

Qing Lin responded with a smile, Xiao Wei and Xiao Li smiled at each other, then both clasped their fists to say goodbye to Xiao Zhan.

"Father, let's go."

"Ah~~~ Be careful on the road~"

Looking at his two daughters who were about to leave, Xiao Zhan's eyes were filled with reluctance.

However, even though he was reluctant, Xiao Zhan did not say anything to try to keep her.

The children have grown up. There is no reason for them to be protected by me all the time. They have the right to create their own world!

But there is one thing Xiao Zhan can guarantee to Xiao Jing and Xiao Li.

"If you encounter unsolvable difficulties in the future, feel free to come back to the Xiao family and find me!" Xiao Zhan looked at the two of them and said in a serious voice, "I am your father! Don't worry about your reputation. The Xiao family and I will always be your strongest backers!"

"Yes!!!"

Xiao Jing and Xiao Li responded in unison, and slowly left with Qing Lin amid everyone's farewells.

At this moment, Xiao Yan turned around to face Xiao Zhan, clasped his fists and spoke in a serious voice.

"Father, Yan'er is also going to leave the Xiao family tomorrow to go out and gain experience!"

During these days, Xiao Yan has been reflecting on how he should continue on his righteous path and how he should go further.

At the same time, Xiao Yan also realized that the righteous path in his mind was just talk and could not withstand too much scrutiny.

Even with the successful example of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan still couldn't be 100% sure that his righteous path was correct.

For this purpose, he had to leave the Xiao family, the place where he grew up, and go out into the vast world to personally understand things he had never known before, and to experience life that he had never experienced before.

And on this basis, perfect the righteous path that you pursue!

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned, and Xiao Xun'er and others on the side were all shocked. Xiao Mei even grabbed Xiao Yan's arm and shook him.

"Cousin Xiao Yan!!!"

Xiao Mei was so anxious that she almost cried. The sister she had always dreamed of had just left, and now the cousin she had always respected and loved since childhood was also leaving? !

Xiao Yan ignored Xiao Mei's crying and looked at his father with a firm gaze.

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan, who had a solemn expression in front of him. After a long time, he slowly came to his senses and revealed a helpless smile.

Sure enough, this day has finally come.

Xiao Zhan was not particularly surprised by Xiao Yan's words.

He had discovered long ago that he was pursuing a path that was very different from that of most people in this world.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan also understood that with his son's character, he would definitely not be complacent and self-righteous and think that the path he was pursuing was correct.

For this reason, he will leave the Xiao family sooner or later to find answers that satisfy him.

Xiao Xun'er on the side quietly looked at Xiao Yan's resolute profile, opened her lips as if wanting to say something, but swallowed it back in the end.

Although there was reluctance in his eyes, he didn't say a word to try to keep her.

I shouldn't become a burden to Xiao Yan, no matter how unwilling I am.

Since Xiao Yan has said this to Xiao Zhan so solemnly, it proves that he has made up his mind and will not be shaken by anyone.

In this case, all I can do is support you silently.

"I understand." Xiao Zhan sighed softly and chuckled, "Go, pursue your own path, and don't let yourself regret it!"

After hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Yan responded very solemnly.

"Son, take the order!"
