Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"That girl really treats the battlefield as a joke, right? Two years ago, she broke into the Serpent Tribe's territory alone and almost died there. Hasn't she learned her lesson?!"

Over the years, Jia Xingtian has invested most of his energy on Yao Ye. He is really afraid that something might happen to the future royal heir.

It would be fine if Yaoye was afraid of death, but at least he would have the awareness to save his life when going to the battlefield.

The key point is that Yao Ye's character is really too reckless. Not to mention being the heir to the royal family, she doesn't even consider herself a general. This can be seen from the fact that she was willing to be a bait in order to deceive the Yunlan Sect two years ago. When she goes to the battlefield, Yao Ye will definitely be guarding the front line with the soldiers. In this case, her chance of survival is almost zero. Whether she can come back alive depends entirely on God's will. How dare Jia Xingtian let her go to the battlefield?

Bang!

Suddenly, the study door was pushed open and Yao Ye walked in angrily, glaring at his great-grandfather.

"Grandfather! Since I am the future heir to the royal family, I should lead by example, so that I can live up to my status! You can't deliberately protect me just because I am your great-granddaughter!"

Obviously, she could clearly hear what Jia Xingtian said just now outside the door. She couldn't hold back her temper and barged in directly to argue with Jia Xingtian without even knocking on the door.

Jia Xingtian looked at Yao Ye who suddenly broke in, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"I'm not trying to protect you, but you can't die so easily because of your status. As a leader, it's right to lead by example, but you also have to know the time and your status. The war hasn't started yet. If you, the heir to the royal family, die on the front line, how much of a blow will it cause to the morale of the whole country? Have you ever thought about this problem?!"

"But."

Yao Ye glared and was about to argue, but Xiao Yu interrupted her.

"Your Highness Yaoye, although I am your teacher, I agree with what Master Jia said on this matter."

"Teacher! Even you?"

Looking at Yao Ye who had eyes full of doubt, Xiao Wei sighed lightly.

"Your Highness Yaoye, you are not just representing yourself, you are also representing the future of the Gama Empire. Unless the situation is extremely critical, you have no right to risk your life." Xiao Yu stared at Yaoye and said slowly, "You are carrying the hope of the people. If even your hope disappears so easily, the people's trust in the Gama Empire will inevitably be shaken. This is absolutely unacceptable."

If Yao Ye died on the battlefield, it would indeed make some people feel that since even the future heir to the empire had sacrificed his life on the front line, what reason did they have not to continue fighting?

But there is another possible thought, that is, even the future heir of the Gama Empire passed away so easily, what about people of low status like them?

It may even lead to a deeper level of suspicion.

Jia Xingtian didn't even care about the life of his future heir and sent her to the front line to die in battle. How could he care about them?

If even half of the people have this idea, it will greatly shake their confidence in the Gama Empire, so Yao Ye must not be allowed to go to the front line.

"."

Yao Ye was silent, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

It's not that she doesn't understand what Jia Xingtian and Xiao Wei said. She also knows that her identity means she can't throw away her life at will.

She had never thought that her identity would prevent her from going to the battlefield.

Is this how my great-grandfather was slowly worn away?

Jia Xingtian looked at Yao Ye's lost expression and sighed slightly.

He used to be just like Yao Ye, full of ambition and high spirits, but because of his identity he had to suppress it and slowly restrain his character, so much so that in the end he almost forgot what his original personality was like.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, being born into a royal family is a very happy thing, but for people like Jia Xingtian and Yao Ye, being born into a royal family is more like a curse, forcing them to give up what they want to do, and they can't even seek death on their own, unless you don't care about anything.

Xiao Wei also felt Yao Ye's loss, but he had nothing to say. This was something Yao Ye had to go through as the heir to the royal family.

If there is any way to break the impasse, it is to wait for Yao Ye to become strong enough to protect herself on a battlefield full of blood and flesh. She must also change her reckless character so that she can lead the charge without hesitation.

"Sister Xiao Jing~"

Just when the atmosphere in the study was solemn, a crisp voice was rang out, and Yun Xiao ran in from outside the door, passing Yao Ye, and pounced towards Xiao Yi with her legs. Xiao Yi was stunned at first, but then he immediately reacted and hurriedly squatted down and held her in his arms.

"Xiaoxiao? Why are you here?"

"Because I miss Sister Xiao Jing~"

Yun Xiao, who was held in Xiao Yi's arms, raised her head and smiled happily. At this time, Xiao Yi also saw Zijing walking into the study with a little awkwardness on her face.

"I'm so sorry. I brought Xiaoxiao here."

"It's okay, no need to apologize, I'm just a little surprised." Xiao Yu smiled softly, looked at Yun Xiao in his arms, stretched out his finger and gently touched her nose, his eyes full of tenderness, "Xiao Xiao, I told you to call me auntie, why don't you remember?"

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao forgot." Yun Xiao stuck out her tongue and tilted her head in confusion, "But it's so strange, why does Aunt Yafei want me to call her sister, but Sister Xiaoqi wants me to call you aunt?"

"."

After hearing this, Xiao Yu looked a little embarrassed.

It's understandable that Yafei hopes Yun Xiao can address her in a younger way.

But Xiao Ji can't do that. The seniority is there. If Yun Xiao calls her sister, then what should Xiao Yan call her?

But this obviously cannot be told to Yun Xiao, at least not now.

Gu He, who was lying on the sofa, looked at Yun Xiao with a somewhat melancholy expression.

This is the person he once loved, and the child he had with another man. Although Gu He has let it go now, he still can't help but feel some complicated emotions in his heart.

"Come~ Xiaoxiao, let Grandpa Jia hug you~"

Jia Xingtian also put away his serious expression, stood up and took Yun Xiao from Xiao Ji's arms with a smile.

No matter how high his status or how powerful his influence is, Jia Xingtian is still an old grandfather after all, and these old people seem to be naturally fond of children.

Jia Xingtian held Yun Xiao and teased him. Yun Xiao also had a lot of fun playing with this grandfather. He kept pulling Jia Xingtian's beard because he thought it was fun. If ordinary people saw it, they would probably be scared to death. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, Yun Xiao was the only one who dared to pull Jia Xingtian's beard so unscrupulously.

After playing for a while, Jia Xingtian handed Yun Xiao to Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing took it and spoke softly to Yun Xiao.

"Xiaoxiao, Auntie still has some things to do. You and Brother Zijing should go somewhere else to play first. After a while, Auntie will buy some delicious food and come to Yunlan Sect to see you, okay?"

Hearing Xiao Yi say this, Yun Xiao felt a little disappointed, but still nodded obediently.

"Well, okay, you must come and see Xiaoxiao!"

"Don't worry, Auntie will definitely come to see you."

After Xiao Ji made the promise, he let Yun Xiao go. Zijing took Yun Xiao's hand and said goodbye to everyone, then turned and left the study. Yaoyue also tugged at Yaoye's sleeve and said to Jia Xingtian.

"Grandpa, we have to get busy first."

"Well, let's go."

Jia Xingtian responded softly, Yaoyue nodded goodbye to Xiao Jing and Gu He, then dragged the reluctant Yao Ye out of the study.

Looking at the tightly closed study door, Jia Xingtian let out a long sigh.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the child has grown up so fast." Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Yu, "So, when are you going to let Xiao Yan know about this?"

"Yan'er and the others didn't go home for the New Year last year. I couldn't say anything even if I wanted to. Besides, Sect Master Yun has his own plans, so I won't interfere."

As Xiao Jing said this, Gu He, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of Xiao Yan, what did you say he did in the Black Horn Region in the past two years?"

"Well, he wrote me a letter during the Chinese New Year. He didn't tell me specifically what he was doing. He just said that he occasionally went back to Canaan College, and spent most of the rest of his time in the Black Horn Region." Xiao Yu said, and chuckled softly, "That kid seems easygoing, but he actually has his own ideas, so I didn't interfere too much."

"By the way, do your father and Xiao Li know about this?" Jia Xingtian asked again.

"My father does know, but I never told Xiao Li." Xiao Yu held his forehead helplessly, "With her temper, if I told her about this, she would definitely run to the Black Horn Region and drag Xiao Yan over without caring about anything."

As mentioned before, whether it is Xiao Li, the younger sister or Xiao Yan, the younger brother, they are both people that Xiao Ji worries about. Xiao Li has done a lot of stupid things in Chisha City in the past two years, and Xiao Ji helped to clean up many of them.

Alas, being the eldest sister is so tiring.

"Okay, let's put these things aside for now, Mr. Jia, I'll tell you about my next plan."

In the evening, after playing in the palace for an afternoon and having a royal dinner, Zijing carried Yun Xiao on his back and said goodbye to Yao Ye and Yao Yue outside the palace. Then he turned around and flapped his wings of fighting spirit to fly towards Yunlan Sect. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Yun Xiao who was sleeping on his back, with helplessness and doting in his eyes.

It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad to have such a worrying sister.

After a while, Zijing arrived at Yunlan Sect carrying Yunxiao on his back. As soon as they landed, they saw Yun Yun standing under the hazy moonlight, obviously waiting for them here.

"Aunt Yunyun."

Seeing Yun Yun, Zijing's expression couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Just as she was about to apologize, Yun Yun gently waved her hand.

"It's okay. I know it's this kid who insists on pestering you." As she spoke, Yun Yun gently lifted the sleeping Yun Xiao from Zi Jing's back and said softly to Zi Jing, "It's so late. You should go to bed too."

"Well, good night, Aunt Yunyun~"

Zijing nodded, waved to Yunyun, and trotted towards her room.

Looking at Zijing's back, that familiar personality always reminded Yun Yun of Xiao Yan. It was not difficult to guess that Zijing's current personality was most likely influenced by Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan."

Yun Yun looked into the distance, deep nostalgia in her eyes.

I wonder what Xiao Yan is doing now?

"Mother."

At this moment, Yun Xiao in her arms let out a low moan, pulling Yun Yun back from her reverie. Looking at Yun Xiao leaning on her shoulder, Yun Yun's purple eyes were full of kindness, and she patted her head gently.

"Be good, mommy will take you to bed."

Yun Yun held Yun Xiao in her arms and walked slowly towards her room.

Her figure became longer and longer under the moonlight, and she seemed so lonely in the deserted sect.

"Well?"

In the Black Horn Region, a determined young man suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the Gama Empire, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that something in that direction seemed to touch his heart.

At this moment, a voice sounded in his heart.

(Xiao Yanzi, what's wrong?)

(Nothing, maybe it’s just my illusion.)

This young man was none other than Xiao Yan. Two years of experience had completely removed the immaturity from his face. He had grown a lot taller, and his originally shoulder-length hair had been cut shorter. The light in his eyes was even brighter, and his every word and action exuded a reassuring aura.

"Let's go, cousin Xiao Ning is still waiting for me."

Xiao Yan said this and walked into a store in the Black Horn Region. On the storefront were three fluorescent fonts.

【Yihongyuan】

Believe me, Xiao Yan really didn't turn bad (forced face)

Chapter 418: Prison

As soon as Xiao Yan stepped into Yihong Courtyard, a plump and charming woman came up to him. As soon as she got close to Xiao Yan, he could smell her intoxicating body fragrance.

The charming woman was none other than Hongshuang, the owner of Yihongyuan.

"Master Xiao Yan, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Hong Shuang naturally put her arm around Xiao Yan's, but Xiao Yan pulled his hand away without leaving a trace and smiled faintly.

"Please take me to cousin Xiao Ning's room."

If Xiao Yan had been treated so attentively by Hong Shuang two years ago, his lips would probably have trembled. However, after two years, Xiao Yan has been able to be quite calm about this level of touch, and he has also developed his own ways to deal with it.

Simply put, it's a habit.

Yao Chen in the ring was also quite impressed by this.

Two years was neither long nor short. Xiao Yan had transformed from the young boy he used to be into a mature young man, which made her feel gratified as she watched him grow up.

Xiao Yan’s growth is not just in strength, his state of mind and personality have changed even more.

Seeing Xiao Yan's natural response, a hint of disappointment flashed across Hong Shuang's eyes, and then she smiled as usual and took Xiao Yan into the innermost room.

When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Ning with a drunken red face, sitting carelessly on the sofa, chatting enthusiastically with the hostesses. When he saw Xiao Yan, he raised his hand and waved.

"Hey! Xiao Yan, why are you here just now?"

"Sorry, I just ran some errands."

Xiao Yan sat on the sofa calmly and waved his hand gently. Hong Shuang was also very tactful and waved to the hostesses to leave. When the door of the room was closed, only Xiao Ning, Xiao Yan and Hong Shuang were left in the room.

Without Xiao Yan saying anything, Hong Shuang took out a letter and handed it to Xiao Yan, saying softly.

"This is the reply from that lady. She said she is very happy to cooperate with you."

"Thank you."

Xiao Yan reached out to take the letter, opened the envelope and took a look. On the other side, Xiao Ning's face was no longer red from drunkenness, and he looked at Xiao Yan with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Xiao Yan, is that guy really okay?"
