Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"The dangers encountered in the future journey will definitely be more dangerous than this competition, there is no doubt about it."

"You can't protect me all the time. I have to overcome most of the dangers by myself."

"If I can't even get through this small competition on my own, then I won't be able to solve the difficulties I encounter in the future."

Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at Yao Chen's beautiful red eyes very seriously, and said in a serious voice.

"I don't want your disciple to be a coward who always thinks of relying on the teacher!"

"One day in the future, if I meet someone you once knew, I hope I can tell them with dignity and a clear conscience that I am a disciple that you can be proud of from the bottom of your heart!"

"I don't want you to be embarrassed because of me!"

Yao Chen stared at Xiao Yan blankly. Every word Xiao Yan said was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.

In her opinion, teachers should devote themselves to their students, this is only natural!

But Xiao Yan didn't think so.

Disciples respect their teachers, and teachers should also be proud of their disciples!

He, Xiao Yan, wanted to use facts to stop those rumors and would not let anyone doubt Yao Chen's vision in selecting disciples. He also did not want to become a laughing stock for others to mock Yao Chen!

Looking at Xiao Yan's dark eyes that were like mirrors, Yao Chen couldn't utter a word of reprimand.

His heart, which already had a very high opinion of Xiao Yan, was now even more high.

His new disciple was so outstanding that Yao Chen thought he was dreaming.

Compared to that child, this excellence is even more dazzling to the extreme!

".It's up to you."

Yao Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but in the end they could only turn into a helpless sigh, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, she actually had such a realization that it didn't matter even if she couldn't regain her body in the future, because even the past regret had been filled by Xiao Yan.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Yan should be the most perfect disciple image in the minds of all teachers in this world.

"Thank you, Senior Yao, for your understanding."

Seeing that Yao Chen had finally calmed down, Xiao Yan's sunny smile appeared on his face again.

However, Yao Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he put his beautiful face in front of Xiao Yan, causing Xiao Yan's cheek to turn red instantly, and he glared at him fiercely.

"If you want to fight to the death in the future, I won't stop you, but you must give me a warning before you do it! Do you understand?!"

"Yes! Disciple will remember this!"

Xiao Yan suddenly lowered his head and responded, as if he was avoiding something.

Yao Chen saw Xiao Yan's red ears as he lowered his head, and thought of his red face when he approached Xiao Yan just now, and he couldn't help but raise a sly smile.

"Xiao Yanzi, let me ask you something~"

"Senior Yao, please speak!"

Xiao Yan responded in a shocking voice, but he still kept his head down and did not dare to look up, which made Yao Chen's handsome face show a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Lift your head up. You didn't even look at me when I was talking to you. Is this how you treat your teacher?"

"."

Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, his body tense, but he finally raised his head slowly.

But he didn't dare to look directly at Yao Chen, and his eyes kept looking away.

Seeing Xiao Yan's embarrassed look, Yao Chen chuckled in his heart, coughed twice to moisten his throat, and spoke slowly in a very deliberately gentle voice that was completely inconsistent with his usual hearty voice.

"Xiao Yanzi, do you think your teacher is pretty?"

"."

Xiao Yan remained silent, but his already red face became even brighter, almost blood red.

Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't answer, Yao Chen pretended to be displeased and scolded him.

"say!"

Hearing Yao Chen's urging, Xiao Yan's face became more embarrassed and he spoke slowly with great difficulty.

"My younger brother thinks Senior Yao is very good."

Xiao Yan stuttered and his voice became extremely small. Yao Chen moved slightly closer and asked.

"What?"

“Very beautiful.”

Xiao Yan covered half of his face with his right hand and finally gave this answer. Yao Chen couldn't help laughing after hearing it.

It’s really strange. Why have I never found it so fun to be praised for being beautiful before?

When others praised Yao Chen for her beauty, Yao Chen would just think it was natural and take it for granted, without any other feelings.

But now, hearing his shy disciple praising him, he felt an indescribable sense of pride in his heart.

"Then remember this~ When you marry a wife in the future, you should follow my standards. If you look at me for too long, I guess you won't be interested in others~" Yao Chen chuckled and joked, then gently pinched her beautiful chin and murmured, "Well, it's really hard to find a beauty of my level."

Immediately, Yao Chen came close to Xiao Yan's face again, laughing.

"Don't blame me if you can't find a wife because your requirements are too high~~~"

".Disciple needs to rest."

Xiao Yan felt his face was extremely hot. Finally, he could not bear it anymore and simply lay on his side on the bed, burying his head tightly under the pillow.

"Stop~ I still have a lot to say to you~~~"

Yao Chen was still relentless, and kept whispering in Xiao Yan's ear with his soft voice, forcing Xiao Yan to suppress the throbbing in his heart while at the same time wanting to cry but having no tears. He could only pray in his heart that Yao Chen would stop teasing him.

After all, Xiao Yan is just a young boy.

Chapter 57 I'm Not Kidding

According to Ruolin, a special flying fleet will come to pick them up for school in seven days, so the Xiao family members will spend these seven days leisurely, the last time they will stay at home this year.

Among them, Xiao Ning was the one who played the wildest. He went to Ningchun Tower every day and every time asked Xiao Yan to go with him. However, after being rejected by Xiao Yan on the grounds of recuperating from an injury, Xiao Ning went alone.

They played from morning to afternoon and had a lot of fun. On the fifth day, Xiao Yu, the elder sister, could not bear it anymore and rushed into Ningchunlou with a whip. After a while, she dragged out a bruised and swollen object that could barely be recognized as a human being and brought it back to the Xiao family. Xiao Ning was forced to spend two days of peace at home.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er have often been with Xiao Yan during this period, as if they wanted to stay with Xiao Yan as long as possible.

However, what Xiao Yan did not expect was that during these seven days, Xiao Mei never once cried and begged him to go to Canaan College with her. Instead, she tried her best to show her happiest side in front of him, which made Xiao Yan feel that this little girl had finally grown up.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already seven days later. This meant that today the Xiao family members would leave Wutan City and officially go to Canaan College.

"Well, I'm finally fully recovered."

In the early morning, Xiao Yan untied the bandage wrapped around his left arm and slowly stretched it.

In this way, I can set off today.

At this time, Yao Chen's figure appeared in the air and spoke to remind Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yanzi, don't forget what I told you before."

"Well, I'll go find Sister Yafei later. She should have prepared the things."

Xiao Yan nodded, then pushed open the door, and saw Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er standing at the door. Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, then chuckled.

"Oh~ Have you guys packed yet? I was just about to take you there."

Xiao Yan walked out of the room and closed the door. Looking at the two little girls' unhappy faces, Xiao Yan felt helpless. They were obviously very happy yesterday.

"Cousin Xiao Yan." Xiao Mei looked up at Xiao Yan with hope in her eyes, and pleaded in a low voice: "Are you really not going to the academy with us?"

Hearing Xiao Mei's extremely soft voice, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and reached out to gently stroke Xiao Mei's head.

"It must be very hard to hold back these words for the past few days."

".Um."

Xiao Mei nodded gently, tears starting to well up in her eyes, completely unlike the coquettish look she displayed in front of others.

Xiao Yan sighed softly, bent down slightly, rubbed Xiao Mei's face with both hands, and said with a smile.

"When you go to the academy, you must study hard, eat well, sleep well, and enjoy the academy life that comes only once in your life. Once you are over the age limit, you will not be able to experience these things again even if you return to the academy." Xiao Yan pinched Xiao Mei's cheek with both hands and gently pulled it to both sides, "Live happily every day, okay?"

"it is good"

After Xiao Yan's instructions, Xiao Mei's mood improved a little. She forced a smile and responded to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan chuckled and turned to look at Xiao Xun'er.

"Xun'er, I."

"Brother Xiao Yan, just do whatever you want to do." Before Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Xun'er spoke first and looked at Xiao Yan gently, "Xun'er will always wait for you."

Xiao Yan stared at Xiao Xun'er in a daze. After a while, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He then stood up and patted the two of them on the head.

"Alright, alright~ Hurry up and pack your things, we're about to leave~"

"Ah."

Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er both responded and walked slowly towards their rooms.

(You have so much romantic debt, boy.)

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er's departing backs and said this in Xiao Yan's heart.

Xiao Yan remained silent and did not answer. He turned and walked out of the yard. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw Xiao Yu leaning against the door.

"Have you finished saying goodbye to those two girls?"

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Xiao Yu whispered, and Xiao Yan responded with some melancholy.

"Yeah. Come to think of it, those two girls have never been away from me for so long."

Xiao Yan fiddled with his hair in annoyance.

As for what he was upset about, even he himself couldn't explain it clearly.

"Isn't this great? It's time to take this opportunity to let them learn to be independent."

Xiao Yu said this with a soft laugh.

In fact, Xiao Xun'er is okay. She is rational and sensible. She knows what to do and what not to do.

But this little girl Xiao Mei is really Xiao Yan's little tail. She basically follows him wherever he goes and rarely has her own thoughts and ideas.

If leaving Xiao Yan to go to Canaan College this time can help Xiao Mei get out of this state, it would be quite good.

After all, Xiao Mei's life is her own, and she should not become Xiao Yan's vassal.

"Sister Xiao Yu." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yu with a serious expression and said, "I'll leave everyone in the academy in your care."

Looking at Xiao Yan's serious face, Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, and then a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do I need you to remind me of this? I am the leader of this group of people. If I don't take care of them, who will?" Xiao Yu said, and the smile on her face suddenly became a little sinister. She clenched her jade hands into claws and smiled sinisterly, "Of course, I will not fall behind in training. Don't think you can relax when you come to Canaan College. You have to follow the usual standards. No, triple it!!!"

Although she is regarded as the big sister by the Xiao family members, in fact, the real leader of their generation is still Xiao Yan. As long as Xiao Yan speaks, Xiao Yu naturally has no place to speak.

Of course, Xiao Yu would not be dissatisfied with Xiao Yan because of this. After all, not only others, but even she herself recognized Xiao Yan.

However, although he was not dissatisfied with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu still felt a little unhappy in his heart because of his competitive spirit.

You usually listen to Xiao Yan, but this time you finally fall into my hands!!!

Looking at Xiao Yu's devilish smile, Xiao Yan was also helpless.

Sure enough, no matter how mature you are, your nature will never change.

Speaking of which, when did Sister Xiao Yu become so calm?

Xiao Yan pinched his chin lightly and raised his brows in thought.

Xiao Yan still remembered that he once accidentally saw her taking a bath in the back mountain and was hunted for a whole month. In the end, it was only when Xiao Zhan and the Great Elder stepped in to stop it that the hunt ended.

If it were now, Xiao Yan would have simply bowed his head and begged for forgiveness without even trying to run away. After all, he was the one who was wrong, and evading punishment was more like shirking responsibility, which was unacceptable to Xiao Yan now.

However, Xiao Yan was still a rather perverse and rebellious person at that time. It was fine if he accidentally peeked at Xiao Yu taking a bath, but he even mocked her out loud. If not for this, Xiao Yu wouldn't have been so angry that she would have hunted him down for a whole month.

Well~~~

Xiao Yan shrugged lightly and smiled helplessly.

All I can say is that everyone has a time when they are young and ignorant, and they always do one or two things that make their present self want to beat up their past self.
