Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Mei'er! Stop right there!"

"Xun'er, wait for me!"

Xun'er showed a hint of anger in her eyes and got up to chase after her. Xiao Mei saw this and quickly ran away. Hu Jia also immediately got up and followed Xun'er closely.

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Xiao Yan smiled helplessly, with relief and a little loss in his eyes.

Fortunately, the sisters who used to cling to me have their own lives now and don’t have to be around me all the time.

The reason for loss is the same.

Human beings are really contradictory. I always hoped that my sisters could have their own lives and not be around me every day. Now that they have done what I wished, I feel reluctant to let them go.

Xiao Yan looked up at the azure sky, gazing at the white clouds floating in the sky.

So idle.

The troubles caused by the Xiao family have been dealt with. There are no classes in the afternoon, and everyone else is busy with their own things, leaving me alone with nothing to do.

(Go check on my senior sister. I haven’t spoken to her since I came to the academy.)

Xiao Yan slapped his knees, stood up, and walked towards the alchemy institute.

In the Alchemy Institute, Han Feng was currently in his own alchemy room debugging medicines.

It was Han Feng’s first time experiencing what it was like to be a teacher, and overall it felt pretty good.

Although a large group of students with ulterior motives came at the beginning, the number decreased a lot after Hu Qian issued a rule. After watching Han Feng for a long time, the remaining students gradually withdrew their other thoughts and focused on learning alchemy with Han Feng.

Knock~knock~knock~

"Please come in."

Han Feng's cold voice was heard, the door to the alchemy room was opened, and Xiao Yan walked in slowly.

"Sister."

"Xiao Yan? Is there something wrong?"

Han Feng glanced sideways at Xiao Yan who was closing the door, then turned back again and asked softly while adjusting the potion. Xiao Yan just shook his head slightly.

"It's okay. I just haven't seen you for a few days. I asked Senior Sister how she is doing." Xiao Yan said, frowning slightly. "Senior Yao said earlier that your soul was damaged. How is it now?"

"Don't worry, just recover slowly."

Han Feng said lightly. At this time, Yao Chen's figure appeared from the ring, and he stared at Han Feng unhappily with slightly frowned brows.

"How can I not be anxious? They forcefully stripped me of my strange fire and burned my soul. You're lucky your soul didn't collapse. Don't take it lightly."

As soon as Yao Chen finished speaking, Han Feng silently presented the milky white medicine he had just prepared in front of Yao Chen.

"Is this... Soul Repairing Lotion?"

Soul Repair Milk, a fourth-grade prescription, is not even considered a pill, because this thing does not need to be specially refined. As long as the temperature of the flame is controlled sufficiently and the formula is correct, it can be mixed. After drinking it, it can slowly repair the damaged soul. Although the recovery is slow and needs to be taken for a long time, the advantage is that the materials are easy to find and it does not require too much effort like refining pills.

Han Feng drank the soul repairing milk in the bottle in one gulp, then gently wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and said something that made Yao Chen very embarrassed.

"I am different from you, teacher. I will not fail to do what I should do."

"."

Chapter 368: Erasing the Burned Han Feng

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Chen who was speechless after being rebuked by Han Feng, and couldn't help but find it funny. With Senior Yao's personality, Han Feng should be the only person who could silence Senior Yao with just a few words.

Just as Xiao Yan was thinking this, Han Feng suddenly looked at him.

“I’m not the only one.”

Eh hey hey? Senior sister can read minds?!

"I won't."

You still say you can’t?! I didn’t say a word for a long time!

"It's just that you wrote everything you wanted to say on your face." Han Feng looked at Xiao Yan's stunned face and said softly, "I just made the teacher not know how to refute. Feng Zun was the one who really pointed at the teacher's nose and scolded him, and the teacher could only bow his head and listen."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He had heard the name Feng Zunzhe more than once, which made him very curious about this person.

"Senior Yao, is this Venerable Feng your friend?"

"Yes, he is the guy who founded Xingyun Pavilion with me. He would never stop until he scolded me every time we met."

Yao Chen floated in the air, stroking the side of his face with an expression that showed he had a headache.

Han Feng did not give Yao Chen any face and explained to Xiao Yan.

"Because the teacher is the nominal leader of Xingyun Pavilion, and it was the teacher who proposed to establish Xingyun Pavilion. Venerable Feng is only the deputy leader. But since the establishment of Xingyun Pavilion, the teacher has only stayed in Xingyun Pavilion a few times, and has been running around all over the continent. As a result, many disciples of Xingyun Pavilion only know that there is such a leader, but have never met him. Xingyun Pavilion's affairs from inside to outside are all handled by Venerable Feng. Therefore, every time he sees the teacher, Venerable Feng keeps complaining."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Yao Chen.

"Senior Yao, you established the Xingyun Pavilion for..."

"Because I think it's fun." Yao Chen gave this answer without thinking, and then sighed softly, "Who knew that there would be so many troubles after building the pavilion, recruiting disciples, arranging financial expenditures, and managing the disciples' cultivation. Who can do this? So I ran away."

What an irresponsible person.

Xiao Yan's brows were trembling wildly. No wonder Venerable Feng would complain every time they met. Who wouldn't complain?

However, after spending such a long time together, Xiao Yan didn't think it was surprising that Yao Chen could do such a thing.

"So Xiao Yan, don't learn bad things from your teacher."

Han Feng held Xiao Yan's shoulders and warned him solemnly once again. Yao Chen's face was full of black lines, making Xiao Yan not know whether to nod or shake his head.

"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, this is the image of your master in your mind. It doesn't matter whether it changes or not." Yao Chen waved his hand, obviously giving up. He looked at the burn on Han Feng's face, "Aren't you going to fix that burn?"

Yao Chen felt a slight pain in his heart as he said this.

When she was betrayed by Han Feng, she instinctively attacked her with strange fire without knowing the truth, and Han Feng never cleaned the burns, even though she clearly had the ability to do so.

"It's just a burn. I don't care."

Han Feng said calmly, perhaps part of the reason was that he wanted to be alert to what he had done in the past, but more importantly, Han Feng really didn't care.

"How can I not care? If you don't remove the burns on your face, your face will be wasted."

Yao Chen's tone was extremely indignant. Although he said this, he actually hoped that Han Feng could completely let it go and stop brooding over his betrayal.

Yao Chen waved his hand, and a pile of bottles and jars appeared in the air. He gave orders to Han Feng in an unquestionable tone.

"Come! Let us help you apply the medicine and make sure you get back to your original state."

".Fine."

Seeing Yao Chen's determined look, Han Feng knew that she was determined and there was no way to stop her, so she simply accepted it.

"Senior Yao, I'll wait outside first."

Xiao Yan placed Yao Chenqixi's ring on the table, turned around and left the room.

It seems that Han Feng's burns are not just on her face, but obviously on half of her body. The medicines that Yao Chen used on himself before were to be applied on the skin.

Don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at.

Watching Xiao Yan leave the room and close the door, Yao Chen approached Han Feng with a sly smile on his face, with obvious ill intentions in his eyes.

"Feng Er~Take off your clothes~"

"."

Han Feng took off her clothes silently without saying a word. A moment later, her naked body appeared in front of Yao Chen. It was curvy and round, like a perfect creation made by God. The only flaw was the burns left on her skin.

After seeing Han Feng's body, Yao Chen no longer showed his improper expression. Instead, a look of heartache appeared in his eyes. He took a bottle from the air, poured the liquid in it into his hands, and gently smeared it on the burns on Han Feng's body.

When the cool liquid touched the burn, Han Feng's body trembled slightly. The itchy and painful feeling made her frown, but she didn't make a sound and let Yao Chen do his work.

"I'm sorry, Feng'er." Yao Chen suddenly spoke, his tone full of apology, "It must have been very painful at that time."

Han Feng remained silent for a while and then spoke slowly.

"You were in much more pain than I was."

Han Feng knew clearly that the pain that Yao Chen had felt at the time of being betrayed by his closest relatives was far beyond the pain that he was feeling from being burned by the strange fire.

The scene fell silent again.

After a while, Yao Chen spoke again.

"Feng'er, what do you think of your junior brother?"

"He is a very good child. The teacher is very lucky to meet him."

Fortunately, Yao Chen met Xiao Yan, and Han Feng also met Xiao Yan.

If it were someone else, the misunderstanding between Yao Chen and Han Feng might never be resolved.

Han Feng recalled the many times he had come into contact with Xiao Yan in the Black Horn Region, especially the time when Xiao Yan, regardless of his own strength and the consequences, pushed him to the ground after he had told him about the past. The memory is still fresh in his mind.

Normally speaking, Xiao Yan overestimated his own capabilities and acted without considering the consequences.

However, in that situation, normal people would act within their means and consider the consequences.

But Xiao Yan was clearly an exception.

Doing something even though you know it is wrong is a rare quality in this world. What's more, he was angry not for himself, but for his teacher. Even though he knew in his heart that doing so would bring him fatal disaster, he still did it.

But

"If his character remains like this, he will die sooner or later, absolutely."

Han Feng's voice was deep and confident.

She didn't know how Xiao Yan had gotten through all this, but she knew that Xiao Yan's inflexible character would sooner or later cause him trouble that he couldn't handle.

This kind of personality is even more troublesome than Yao Chen's previous personality of not listening to others' advice.

"Oh, that's true." Yao Chen smiled softly, "I've talked to him about it many times along the way, but every time he just responded verbally. When faced with the same thing again, he still acts according to his own personality. I think he will never change his stubborn temper in this lifetime."

"And Feng'er, you have to admit one thing. If it weren't for his personality, you wouldn't have handed over the Sea Heart Flame, the Burning Art, and your master's body to him, right?"

Han Feng frowned tightly, but was unable to refute.

No one wants themselves or the people around them to have an upright character like Xiao Yan.

This kind of personality is not only troublesome, but also brings trouble.

However, when encountering certain things, my heart is extremely eager to meet such a person.

Because only such upright people can make them feel at ease.

"Feng'er, I'm very happy to meet Xiao Yan."

"Although he has caused us a lot of headaches along the way, and we have been worried about him a lot."

"But there is only one thing that we can always rest assured about."

"That is, he will never do anything to harm his master."

Han Feng frowned and fell silent.

Xiao Yan, who was standing outside the door, leaned against the wall and waited. He slowly raised one hand, and a black chain sprang out from his palm. It swayed left to right under Xiao Yan's control, moving completely according to Xiao Yan's will.

Then Xiao Yan raised his other hand, and with a thought, a black aura enveloped his arm, eventually transforming Xiao Yan's hand into a pitch-black claw.

Whether it is the chain or the black giant claw, they are obviously things that can enhance Xiao Yan's combat effectiveness, there is no doubt about that.

However, Xiao Yan frowned tightly at this moment.

The reason is also very simple.

Because he had no idea where this thing came from.

It's as if these things appeared out of thin air.

Xiao Yan asked Yao Chen, but Yao Chen knew nothing about it. After investigating, she found out that this was not the power of the black energy in Xiao Yan's body, and it didn't seem to cause any harm to Xiao Yan. So she comforted Xiao Yan not to worry and just use it with confidence.

In addition to this, his fighting spirit was also permanently doubled, which made Xiao Yan even more confused.

The only way for him to increase his fighting spirit these days is to completely absorb the Sea Heart Flame given to him by Han Feng to evolve the Burning Art. However, he has not been able to do so these days because he has been busy with the affairs of the Xiao family's children. What's more, even if he really absorbed the Sea Heart Flame completely, it is impossible for his fighting spirit to double directly.

In comparison, this doubled Dou Qi and the black chain in his palm reminded Xiao Yan of the martial arts technique that several forces were vying for at the auction house that day, the Black Prison Dark Soul Lock.

My current situation is exactly the same as the description in that technique.

But how is this possible?
