Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

These were the bitter fruits that Xiao Qingge had sown herself, and her own daughter also suffered as a result.

However, Xiao Ying was so filial to such a mother. He bowed his head several times, compromised several times, gave up his dignity several times, and gave up his face several times, all for Xiao Qingge.

From a certain perspective, to Xiao Ying, Xiao Qingge is an even worse mother than Xiao Ling who had humiliated her wantonly.

At this moment, Xiao Ying's mind was blank.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Xiao Ying's first reaction was to refute loudly and tell her that her mother would never do that.

However, when the words reached his throat, he forced himself to hold them back.

It was not because she was afraid of Xiao Ling, but at this moment Xiao Ying's mind flashed back to the past scenes, where Xiao Qingge apologized to her with guilt in his eyes.

At that time, Xiao Ying couldn't understand why her mother kept apologizing to her when it was clearly not her fault.

Therefore, at that time, Xiao Ying simply thought that his mother apologized to him because he ran around to take care of her who was sick in bed. This could be considered a barely reasonable explanation.

However, now, after listening to Xiao Ling's words, she finally understood why her mother apologized.

An unprecedented feeling of injustice of being deceived by her loved ones rose in Xiao Ying's heart, causing her fists to clench tightly, her shoulders to tremble constantly, and the gentle face of Xiao Qingge flashed in her mind.

Self-doubt kept churning in Xiao Ying's heart.

What about the dignity I once gave up for my mother?

What does it mean that I have endured it until now for the sake of my mother?

Xiao Ying has never hated the word deception as much as he does now.

She could tolerate being deceived by anyone in this world, but she could not tolerate being deceived by Xiao Qingge.

How could she

It is true that Xiao Qingge did not betray Xiao Ying, but she undoubtedly deceived Xiao Ying.

[Revenge for Xiao Qingge], this was the reason Xiao Ying found for staying alive during the time when he was imprisoned in the underground prison and wanted to die the most. It was still the same until just now.

She didn't care why Xiao Ling saved her. As long as she could avenge Xiao Qingge, she would be willing to be Xiao Ling's slave for the rest of her life.

But what is this now? What is the meaning of my being alive now?

"Hey~~~ You can't hold on any longer?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Ying with a sneer, "It's just that I was deceived by someone, what's the big deal?"

"you!!!"

Xiao Ying glared at Xiao Ling, but Xiao Ling didn't care at all. He stood up and slowly put his face in front of Xiao Ying.

"Just because you were deceived by the person closest to you, your life is meaningless? Then your life is really fragile."

"You, don't you have any self at all?"

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Ying with contempt in his eyes.

In Xiao Ying's opinion, Xiao Ling is extremely selfish, to the point of being unreasonable.

On the other hand, in Xiao Ling's eyes, Xiao Ying had no self at all. She lived all for others and never considered herself.

"You've always wondered why I brought you out of the underground prison? I even spent so many resources on you." Xiao Ling grabbed Xiao Ying's collar and glared at her with a wild laugh. "Of course it was to beat you! I don't want to be compared to you in everything in my life!"

"I want everyone to know! I am better than you! You are not qualified to stand on the same level with me!!!"

Looking at Xiao Ling staring at him with arrogant eyes, Xiao Ying's eyes were dull.

My mother’s last words seemed to echo in my ears again.

[I'm sorry, it's all my fault. ]

[You have to go your own way in the future, don’t care about anyone, don’t trust anyone. ]

[No matter what means you use, keep climbing up, to the top of this family, and even the entire world, until no one dares to ignore you.]

【By then, you can find something you really want to do and complete it, and your life will not be in vain. 】

[Even if I can't do it, it doesn't matter. 】

[No matter where you go in the future, I will be proud of you. ]

[I have done many things in my life that I regret, but I have absolutely no regrets about giving birth to you. Even if I could start my life over again, I would be willing to start this wrong life over again for your birth.]

"Mother."

Tears slowly slid down Xiao Ying's face.

Then he raised his hand and tightly grasped Xiao Ling's hand that was holding his collar. His eyes were red and he stared at her intently.

"Mother, you really lied to me."

Xiao Ying's voice was extremely hoarse as he spoke slowly.

"But so what?"

"I just want to avenge her, do you have any objection?!"

Looking at Xiao Ying's determined eyes, Xiao Ling was stunned at first, then he grinned.

"That's right. I have done so much, but if it is just to defeat a guy who has no self, then I have really wasted my time." Xiao Ling loosened her collar and grinned, "What do you need now?"

Xiao Ying stared at Xiao Ling closely, and after a moment, he spoke in a clear voice, word by word.

"Blood of the Dou Emperor."

Another two years passed, and the Xiao clan seemed to be doing well without any incident, but the atmosphere within the clan was always making people panic.

For some reason, everyone had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

During these two years, Xiao Ling successfully broke through to the level of Douluo Saint, becoming the youngest Douluo Saint in the history of the Xiao clan!

The Great Elder looked at Xiao Ling in front of him, feeling extremely proud.

Given time, it would not be impossible for Xiao Ling to surpass Xiao Wuyun!

However, when the Great Elder thought about what he was going to do next, he became worried.

If that thing succeeds, there is no need for me to say more, Xiao Ling will become the most honorable person in the entire Xiao clan after myself and the second elder.

But if it fails, when Xiao Wuyun settles the accounts later, he will most likely implicate Xiao Ling as well, even if she knows nothing and even if she did nothing.

But now, it is no longer up to him.

The Great Elder had clearly sensed that Xiao Wuyun would soon take action against the three elders.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired!

And just when we had gathered all the people today, Xiao Wuyun happened to leave the Xiao clan because of some things. The right time, right place and right people were all here in the blink of an eye!

If we don’t take action now, we will be letting down all the ancestors of the Xiao clan!

They took advantage of Xiao Wuyun's absence to capture all of his cronies, and then more than a dozen Douluo Saints joined forces to besiege Xiao Wuyun. Even if he was at the peak of the late Nine-Star Douluo, he would certainly not be able to resist!

"Ling'er."

The Great Elder called out to Xiao Ling softly, and Xiao Ling slowly came up to him.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Now that you have broken through to the Dou Sheng level, you can protect yourself on the mainland. Take Xiao Qiu to travel around the mainland and treat it as a training."

The Great Elder said this with a relaxed expression, not wanting Xiao Ling to see the heaviness in his heart.

This move was naturally for the sake of Xiao Ling's safety. If their side won, they could welcome Xiao Ling back with a swagger, but if they failed, Xiao Ling, who was outside the Xiao clan, could also retain a glimmer of hope.

After hearing the words of the Great Elder, Xiao Ling did not say much, but just responded in a low voice.

"Granddaughter, listen to my orders. I'll go pack my bags now."

Xiao Ling turned and walked towards her bedroom. The Great Elder stared at Xiao Ling's back, his eyes full of affection, as if he wanted to imprint his most beloved granddaughter deeply in his mind.

However, the Great Elder did not see the viciousness, cruelty, expectation and excitement in Xiao Ling's eyes after he turned around.

Half an hour later, the Great Elder watched Xiao Ling and Xiao Ying leave the Xiao Clan. After a moment of melancholy, his gentle eyes instantly turned cold. He raised his hand and waved it suddenly, and seven Douluo appeared around him.

These Douluo are all trusted subordinates of the Great Elder. They were all called back to the Xiao Clan one by one in recent days, and today, all the people are finally present.

"Let's go and meet up with the Second Elder."

The Great Elder gave the order in a cold voice and led the way towards the Second Elder's residence.

However, before the Great Elder and his subordinates arrived at the Second Elder's residence, several figures suddenly blocked their way. Seeing the leader who blocked their way, the Great Elder's expression suddenly changed and his face became extremely ugly.

Xiao Wuyun?! Didn’t he already leave the Xiao clan?!!

Xiao Wuyun looked at the Great Elder with a smile, and spoke slowly in a cold voice.

"Great Elder, you brought so many people with you in such a threatening manner, may I ask what's the important matter?"

Chapter 381 Agreement

Looking at Xiao Wuyun in front of him, the Great Elder's expression froze on his face and his whole head was buzzing.

What's going on? Didn't he leave the Xiao clan? Why is he here again?

"How are you, Great Elder? It seems like we haven't seen each other for a while."

Xiao Wuyun lowered his eyebrows slightly and brushed his sleeves lightly, his words carrying a deep hint of sarcasm.

Normally speaking, if the patriarch of a family tells his elders that he hasn't seen them for a while, he is simply lying with his eyes open.

However, Xiao Wuyun has been constantly depriving the three elders of their power over the years. Until now, basically all major decisions concerning the family are made by Xiao Wuyun himself. He does not even notify the elders, let alone meet to discuss. It is because of this that the first and second elders became increasingly worried and finally decided to rebel.

Therefore, what Xiao Wuyun said, "I haven't seen you for a while," was not a lie.

The Great Elder looked at Xiao Wuyun in front of him with a gloomy expression. Xiao Wuyun shrugged indifferently, not too lazy to talk nonsense with the Great Elder. He turned his head slightly and looked at his subordinates behind him.

"Hey, bring the second elder up here so he can meet the first elder."

Serve it?

This strange wording shocked the Great Elder, and a bad premonition instantly came to his mind.

Sure enough, the next moment, the person behind Xiao Wuyun brought a brocade plate with a head in the plate. When the Great Elder saw the appearance of the head, his pupils trembled wildly.

Second Elder! How could he? !

Was the news leaked? When was he killed?

Seeing the look of horror on the Great Elder's face, Xiao Wuyun's lips curled up slightly.

"After all, you two are just eight-star Doushengs. As long as I prepare in advance, it won't take me much effort to kill you." Xiao Wuyun stared at the elder, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold look kept jumping in his eyes. "You think you are the mantis stalking the cicada, but you forgot to pay attention to who is the cicada."

"The Great Elder, or rather, the former Great Elder."

Xiao Wuyun had a solemn expression, his hands behind his back, looking proudly at the great elder in front of him.

"The Second Elder and you secretly conspired to rebel, and this clan leader had no choice but to execute him in order to maintain the stability of the Xiao clan. Now the Second Elder is dead, and many of his Dou Shengs have been detained. If you surrender obediently, in consideration of your contributions to the Xiao clan over the years, I can keep your soul, and after enduring the hardships of the past two years, I can offset your guilt and set you free."

"You're talking nonsense!" As soon as Xiao Wuyun finished speaking, the Great Elder's expression became ferocious and he shouted angrily, "Xiao Wuyun! Even if the Second Elder and I were planning a rebellion, it was because of you, the clan leader, who forced us to do so!"

It was obvious that Xiao Wuyun was using this as an excuse to completely eliminate them! The Second Elder's bloodline must have been sucked clean by him! Even if he and the Second Elder did not rebel, Xiao Wuyun would do so sooner or later!

"Even if the Second Elder is dead, so what?! I will fight you to the death today!" The First Elder roared at Xiao Wuyun, "Follow me and kill him!!!"

After the great elder shouted, he led the charge towards Xiao Wuyun. The seven Dou Shengs under his command also seemed to be aroused and followed closely behind the great elder.

Looking at the great elder who was rushing towards him, Xiao Wuyun curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, and the coldness in his eyes was beyond words, and he spoke slowly.

"Stubborn and ineffective."

Xiao Wuyun slowly raised his hand, and a destructive aura as if shaking the earth and mountains condensed in his palm, and he waved calmly at the great elder who was rushing towards him.

Just with this light wave, the Great Elder felt as if he was facing the collapse of the sky and the earth. The energy was simply beyond words. He couldn't even dodge it. He could only protect himself with his arms to block the attack.

boom! ! !

This earth-shaking power caused a violent turmoil in the entire Xiao clan. The Great Elder, who was about to charge, stopped when he felt this power, his eyes filled with fear.

Although the elder had taken Xiao Wuyun's attack, his appearance was extremely tragic! Most of his clothes were torn, and there was not a single intact part of his body. His breath was even weaker, and he was gasping for air, barely holding on to avoid losing consciousness.

This is the strength of a Nine-Star Fighting Saint at the peak of the late stage!

He was only one star away from the eight-star Douluo of the Great Elder, yet he was able to severely injure the Great Elder with a single blow!

At this moment, the Great Elder suddenly realized how ridiculous his and the Second Elder's previous thoughts were!

What he thought was that after clearing out Xiao Wuyun's direct subordinates, he could beat Xiao Wuyun with peace of mind, it was simply a foolish dream! The strength of the peak of the late Nine-Star Dou Sheng was more than a hundred times stronger than he expected!!!

"Great Elder, you have been living too comfortably these years." Xiao Wuyun looked at the Great Elder leisurely, his eyes slightly lowered, "That's right, there hasn't been another Dou Emperor in this world for thousands of years."
