Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Of course she knew why Xiao Yan could say this.

Xiao Yixian had always believed that she and Xiao Yan were not suitable for each other. At least there were many things Xiao Yan did that she could not stand. It was precisely because she could not stand it that she stayed by his side and helped him with the aftermath as much as possible. It was also because she felt that she and Xiao Yan were not suitable that she silently planted her own seeds in Xiao Yan's heart.

Now it seems that this seed has taken root and sprouted. At least in Xiao Yan's heart, he is no longer the unsuitable person.

At this time, Xiao Yan looked at Yunying and continued.

"From my personal feeling, it is best for Miss Yun and I to get along as friends as we do now."

"I see." Yun Ying closed her eyes slightly, nodded in understanding, and said calmly: "In other words, I was dumped by Mr. Xiao, is that right?"

Hearing this, Yao Chen almost couldn't stay in the ring.

Are you serious? Who in this world dares to dump you? ! !

When Xiao Yan heard Yunying's words, his expression became even more embarrassed and he raised his hand to explain.

"That's not what I meant. Miss Yun is really an excellent person, but she is not suitable."

"Haha~ I'm just joking, Mr. Xiao, don't take it seriously." Yunying smiled and waved her fan, saying lightly, "I'm used to being free and idle. If I really have to be bound by worldly marriage, I might not be willing to do it."

"what"

Xiao Yan laughed awkwardly, and Yun Ying returned to the main topic.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Xiao wants to buy that coffin?"

"Well, that's right."

Although he no longer had the idea of ​​proposing to Yunying, Xiao Yan's trust in her remained undiminished, and he told her the truth directly.

"I see. I understand."

Yunying had an expression of sudden realization and gave an evaluation of Yaochen.

Asking knowingly.

This woman must have seen it all from beginning to end. Even this coffin was specially sent by her to Xiao Yan.

Yao Chen really didn't understand, what on earth did she want from Xiao Yan? Was it related to Xiao Ling?

Yunying didn't care what Yao Chen thought and looked at Xiao Yan.

"Since Miss Xiao Yixian needs it so urgently, then let's give the coffin directly to Mr. Xiao."

"How can this be? I will pay the corresponding price."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao. Our family ordered us to bring this coffin to Black Horn for auction. We didn't expect it to sell for much." Yunying smiled and continued, "They actually used such a rare material to make the coffin. Most people wouldn't buy a coffin made of this material. It turns out that those people in our family don't know how to do business."

"So please accept it with confidence, Master Xiao. Just treat it as a gift for our rare meeting."

Listening to Yunying's lies, Yao Chen was really speechless.

This woman lies so naturally that it seems as if she were telling the truth.

Xiao Yan looked at Yunying and responded softly after a while.

"Since Miss Yun has said so, I will be very honored to refuse. I currently have some power in the Black Horn Region. If Miss Yun needs any help, please tell me directly. I will do my best to meet your needs."

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Xiao Yixian and Yao Chen complained in their hearts.

What you said, unifying the entire Black Horn Region is not just about having some power.

Chapter 434 Breaking in

After talking about the coffin, Xiao Yan looked at Yunying and asked.

"Miss Yun, what brings you to Blackhorn Region this time?"

"I have told Master Xiao that our family is in the funeral business, but we have been developing it in secret before, so not many people know about it." Yunying shook her fan and said slowly, "In the past two years, the family has intended to put the family business on the table, so they ordered us to come to the Black Horn Region to explore the way first. The coffin can be regarded as a stone cast by the family to ask for directions."

It is true that the Black Horn region was a place where the law of the jungle prevailed in the past, but due to geographical reasons, the trade was definitely quite outstanding. No matter how outrageous something was, it was possible to encounter it in the Black Horn region, so there was nothing wrong with Yunying's words.

"But when we first arrived at the Black Horn Region, we suddenly discovered that it had changed a lot. It felt like two completely different places." Yun Ying smiled faintly, "If our guess is correct, this should all be the credit of Young Master Xiao, right?"

Live and work in peace and contentment. These four words are the most intuitive feeling that the Black Horn Region gives to outsiders now. But two years ago, these four words had nothing to do with the Black Horn Region.

This kind of thing can never be achieved by just doing superficial work.

"I can't say I have done anything meritorious. I just told the residents through my actions that they can have another way of living. In the end, it is up to them to make the choice."

Xiao Yan said this with a look of melancholy in his eyes.

Different environments create different people. Many people are not born willing to live in the jungle, but the environment they live in is full of the law of the jungle, and they only know this way of life.

No matter what others think, Xiao Yan would never think of himself as the savior of the Black Horn Region. He just lets these residents see another way of life because of his own righteousness. The ones who really make the decision are the people living on this land.

If everyone truly pursues the law of the jungle until death, no matter how many methods Xiao Yan thinks of, it will be useless in the end. It can be said that the choices made by the people of this land are the most important fundamental thing that can be changed in the Black Horn Region.

"Mr. Xiao, you are too modest. To transform the Black Horn Region into what it is today in just two years, even if we know so many powerful people, I am afraid that no one among them can do it."

Yunying smiled softly. This was indeed the truth.

This cannot be accomplished simply by having great strength, but also requires empathy with the weak from the heart.

However, this ability of empathy is simply impossible for those strong people.

After hearing Yunying's words, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and spoke.

"It's not that those strong people can't do it, but they don't want to do it."

Xiao Yan was very self-aware. Even though he was now able to fight against the Dou Clan alone with the body of a Dou King, he was still just an ant in the eyes of those truly powerful men.

If even an ant like me can do it, there is no reason why those strong people cannot do it.

Therefore, the only possibility is that they "don't want to". This "don't want to" is not just unwillingness, but more of a lack of awareness. In their concept of the survival of the fittest, helping irrelevant weak people will not benefit them in any way, that's all.

Even now many people in the Black Horn Region, including the residents, could not understand why Xiao Yan wanted to help the weak like them.

“Miss Yun, if you have nothing to do next, can I take you around the Black Horn Region?” Xiao Yan invited with a smile, “I want Miss Yun to personally experience the righteous path that I want to achieve.”

Yunying unfolded her folding fan and responded with a smile while squinting her eyes.

"I gladly agree."

Xiao Yan stood up and left the room. Yun Ying also stood up and followed him. Looking at Xiao Yan's back, a dark glow flickered in her scarlet pupils.

She had accepted the commission to assassinate Xiao Yan because she was bored, and she never thought that this young man would bring her surprises time and time again.

Making the Black Horn Region abandon the law of the jungle is not only difficult to do, but even impossible to say it.

But Xiao Yan really did it.

Yunying saw everything Xiao Yan did in the past two years, watching him change the entire Black Horn Region step by step in order to fulfill his righteous path.

Thinking of this, jealousy and resentment flashed in Yunying's eyes. Although it was so deep, it was hidden so deeply.

(You have worked so hard to save these residents who were trapped in the persecution of the weak.)

(But at that time, the one who saved me was not you, nor your righteousness, but the concept of the survival of the fittest.)

In the past, Xiao Yan had been so enthusiastic in promoting the righteous path, but Yunying simply felt that Xiao Yan was becoming more and more interesting, without any other complicated emotions.

However, when Yunying saw that the Black Horn Region was completely transformed by Xiao Yan, there were actually some ripples in her mood.

Seeing those residents of the Black Horn Region who had lived the same miserable lives as herself, but were now able to smile from the bottom of their hearts, Yunying suddenly felt a little jealous and a little resentful.

What emerged in my mind were the scenes in the past where I was forced to become stronger.

Why should they be saved while I have to go through such a painful experience?

"It's really unfair."

"Ok?"

Hearing Yunying's vague murmurs behind him, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"Miss Yun, what did you just say?"

Yunying looked at Xiao Yan's pure black eyes, narrowed them slightly, hiding the jealousy and resentment in her eyes, and responded with a smile.

"Nothing, just talking to myself."

Well, there's no point in talking about the past.

I'll just wait and see what kind of changes Xiao Yan will bring to this continent next~

Jia Ma Empire, Yunlan Sect.

Yun Xiao sat on the steps, feeling extremely bored, swinging his short legs, pouting and looking unhappy.

She didn't know why, but everyone in the sect was very busy these days. Even Zijing had gone to help her mother with some official business. As a result, Yun Xiao couldn't find anyone to play with her.

The most important thing is that it had not been long since she slipped down the mountain last time, and Yun Yun said she would not let her go down again no matter what. Without Zijing's help, Yun Xiao had no hope of sneaking out on her own.

This was not Yun Xiao's imagination, but the conclusion he came to after he planned to escape eighteen times, but was caught and brought back by disciples of the Yunlan Sect before he even stepped out of the sect.

At this moment, Yun Xiao hoped that he could become stronger. If he had the strength of Brother Zijing, who else could stop him from going down the mountain except his mother, Grandpa Yunshan and Aunt Ziyun? Not even Grandpa Yunling!

Yun Xiao didn't know how long he sat there, but he couldn't sit still any longer. But he couldn't go down the mountain, so he could only wander around the sect out of boredom.

"Oh right! Wasn't there a place that my mother didn't allow me to go to before?"

Yun Xiao's eyes sparkled, he clapped his hands as if remembering something, and then he ran in one direction with his short legs.

After a while, Yun Xiao came to a tightly locked courtyard. Usually, there were two disciples guarding it, but these days many disciples were sent to the border, so there was no one guarding it temporarily.

Yun Xiao looked at the three words on the plaque at the gate of the courtyard, tilted his head and stared at them for a long time but couldn't understand what they meant.

After all, she is just a child less than two years old, and no one has taught her yet. How can she recognize words?

What's more, what was written on it was not important to Yun Xiao at all.

Yun Xiao climbed up the stairs with some difficulty. Looking at the heavy door lock hanging on the gate, her little nose slightly raised and her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

It was locked and with her current height, she couldn't reach the lock even if she jumped, and she couldn't open it even with the key.

Yun Xiao's black eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking of some bad idea. He glanced left and right, and finally, his eyes lit up and fixed his gaze on a few green bamboos leaning against the corner outside the yard. He then trotted over without hesitation, and his two short hands tightly embraced the bamboos. After hugging them tightly, he also clamped his two short legs on the pillars. His small body stuck to the pillars like a caterpillar, crawling upwards little by little.

I have to say that Yun Xiao is a smart kid, but he is also really wild. He was sweating profusely, but he still gritted his teeth and climbed for a few minutes. When he was about to run out of strength, he climbed to the height of the courtyard wall. With a slight shake of his small body, he jumped down from the green bamboo and managed to steady himself by lying on the eaves of the wall.

"Whoo~~~"

After making sure his body was stable, Yun Xiao raised his short hands to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Then he glanced again and saw the green bamboo leaning against the wall in the yard in front of him. He then crawled over little by little like a caterpillar. When he reached the place, he stood up carefully, aimed at the right spot and jumped hard. He grabbed a green bamboo tightly, slid down smoothly, and sat down on the ground.

"Ouch!"

Yun Xiao cried out in pain, rubbed his sore butt with tears in his eyes, then stood up and glanced around the yard.

The yard looked large and empty, with only a gate at the end that looked like a stone tablet.

If Yun Xiao could read, he would be able to tell what this was from the plaque outside the courtyard gate.

The Gate of Life and Death is where successive leaders of the Yunlan Sect have trained.

Although there are disciples guarding outside the courtyard on weekdays, it is actually just a routine matter and does not have much significance. The disciples all know what the Gate of Life and Death is, and no one dares to rush in as if he is afraid of death.

But it happened that no one was on duty today, and Yun Xiao happened to slip in.

I guess Yun Yun and the others couldn't have imagined that Xiaoxiao was such a wild kid that she could sneak in by climbing over bamboos.

"What? There's obviously nothing fun to do."

Yun Xiao put his hands on his hips, pouted his lips and looked unhappy. He had taken great effort to climb in, but in the end there was only a black door here.

But since you're already here, you might as well go and take a look. Maybe there's something interesting inside.

With this thought in mind, Yun Xiao trotted to the Gate of Life and Death, and placed his little hand on the Gate with curiosity in his eyes.

Then, something strange happened.

The moment Yun Xiao's hand touched the deep black door, it suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. When the light faded away, Yun Xiao had disappeared from the courtyard without a trace.

Yun Xiao closed his eyes instinctively because of the strong light in front of him. When he felt the strong light faded away, he opened his eyes and saw a dense jungle. Rabbits, squirrels and other cute and petite animals were running around in the jungle, and the melodious sound of birds was lingering.

After being stunned for a while, Yun Xiao's eyes were filled with excitement.

There is really fun stuff here!

Immediately, Yun Xiao pouted angrily.

Mom is a bad person. She never told Xiaoxiao about this fun place!

Then a smile appeared on Yun Xiao's face. He happily chased the rabbits and squirrels in the jungle. From time to time, he climbed up the tree to catch the singing birds. He had a lot of fun.

In Yun Xiao's mind, after just staying here for a while, she immediately ranked the places she visited in terms of their funness.
