Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Yun Yun was extremely confused at the moment and had no idea what to do. The disciple stood awkwardly at the door and didn't get a response for a long time. For a moment, he didn't know whether to leave or stay.

Yunshan looked at Yun Yun, who was full of confusion, sighed deeply, and turned his gaze to the disciple.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

Hearing the old sect master's words, the disciple immediately responded and left, and Yun Yun's gaze suddenly turned to him, with panic in her eyes.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

"He has come to visit the sect, you can't just turn him away, right?" Yun Shan interrupted Yun Yun calmly, and continued: "Besides, this matter can be concealed for a while, but not forever. He will find out sooner or later. Do you want to hide forever?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if you think it doesn't matter whether he knows or not, Xiaoxiao will know sooner or later, right?"

"This"

Yun Yun pursed her red lips, but could not say anything else and did not know how to refute.

What Yunshan said was indeed correct. If she and Xiao Yan were very far apart, then she wouldn't know. It wouldn't be difficult to hide it from Yun Xiao for a lifetime.

But everyone is in the Jia Ma Empire now, and Yun Xiao is still young. As she grows up, she will hear some things. She knows it is a matter of time, and it is impossible to keep it secret for a lifetime.

"Master, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Yun Leng stood up and said this to Yun Yun, and without waiting for Yun Yun's response, he turned and left the main hall.

What happens next is someone else's family affair, so it's better not to get involved to avoid any concerns on both sides.

Just when Yun Leng was leaving the main hall and preparing to return to his room, he ran into Xiao Yan with Zi Yan.

When Xiao Yan saw Yun Leng, he was stunned at first, then greeted him politely.

"Elder Yunling, long time no see."

".Ah, long time no see." Yun Leng looked at Xiao Yan with complicated eyes, glanced at the huge coffin behind Xiao Yan in confusion, and then said: "I am no longer an elder, there is no need to call me that."

Yun Leng raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the main hall.

"Go ahead, the master is in the main hall."

After saying that, Yun Leng walked past Xiao Yan and slowly left. Xiao Yan looked at his receding back without any emotion in his eyes.

After all, he and Yun Leng really didn't have much in common. Although he knew about the many dirty things Yun Leng had done after the Yunlan Sect's liquidation two years ago, Xiao Yan and Yun Leng seemed to have never had a head-on conflict. Therefore, he didn't have much resentment towards him, and Yun Leng also received corresponding punishment afterwards, so it was not his turn to complain.

Xiao Yan tightened the coffin behind him and brought Zi Yan to the main hall. As soon as he stepped in, he saw two familiar faces and greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Sister Yunyun, Senior Yunshan."

When Yun Yun, who was sitting on the main seat, heard Xiao Yan's voice, her body trembled violently. She raised her head slightly and saw Xiao Yan smiling. She breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Judging from the appearance, Xiao Yan probably doesn't know yet. If Xiao Yan knew, he would never have this expression.

Yun Yun calmed herself down and responded with a smile.

"Long time no see, Xiao Yan." Yun Yun glanced at Zi Yan and asked, "Who is that girl?"

"Ah, she is my senior from Canaan College. I am taking care of her now."

Senior? This girl? Look after?

Yun Yun and Yun Shan stared at Zi Yan, who was licking a lollipop with her big, confused eyes, with strange expressions on their faces.

This girl seems to be only slightly older than Zijing? She is already a Douhuang? So young?

Yunshan sensed Zi Yan's situation and reacted first.

"Is she a monster?"

"Yes, I heard that she accidentally ate the Transfiguration Grass when she was a child, and was adopted by the academy elder by chance. No one knows what kind of magical beast she is."

Xiao Yan explained Zi Yan's origins, and Yun Shan and Yun Yun's eyes showed enlightenment. Yun Yun then invited Xiao Yan to leave his seat.

When he saw Xiao Yan put the coffin on his back aside, confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Xiao Yan, that is a coffin, right?"

"Yes, the body of Little Doctor Fairy is inside."

"Little Medical Fairy? What happened to her?"

Yun Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, and the image of the pale-haired girl immediately appeared in her mind. It seemed that she had been following Xiao Yan since the Tagor Desert.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan explained to Yun Yun the current situation of the Little Medical Fairy, and the two showed some sympathy in their eyes after listening.

"This child is quite pitiful."

Yunshan sighed, he had heard that the poisonous body would bring suffering throughout life, but meeting someone like Xiao Yan was the luckiest thing in Xiao Yixian's life.

"After the three-year agreement is over, I will return to the Black Horn Region and start looking for materials as soon as possible so that Little Medical Fairy can return to her body."

Xiao Yan said this, then thought of Yun Xiao and looked at Yun Yun.

"By the way, Sister Yunyun, I just met Xiaoxiao at the sect gate."

"Forehead!"

Hearing Xiao Yan mention Yun Xiao, Yun Yun was stunned for a moment, and her eyes became a little vague.

"Ahh, you met that kid."

The Little Medical Fairy saw Yun Yun's erratic look through Xiao Yan's gaze, and her heart was suddenly shocked.

Damn it! It’s actually true!!!

There was no need for Yun Yun to admit it, Xiao Yixian was already very sure at this moment. Sadness suddenly surged into Xiao Yixian's heart, and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

(Nalan Yanran, ah Nalan Yanran, why are you competing with me? You didn’t even react when your house was robbed.)

My house was robbed? What does that mean?

When Xiao Yan heard what Little Medical Fairy was thinking, he frowned in confusion, but he was chatting with Yun Yun right now, so he didn't want to ask her, so he just nodded in agreement with what Yun Yun said.

"He's a very lively child. I'm just a little surprised that Sister Yunyun got married."

Xiao Yan scratched his hair lightly. Yun Yun’s mind was a little stiff at the moment, so she instinctively responded when she heard Xiao Yan’s words.

"Huh? I'm not married."

As soon as the words fell, Yun Yun's face suddenly changed, and she wanted to slap herself to death! Why did I say such a rude thing? !

As expected, when Xiao Yan heard Yun Yun's words, his brows immediately frowned.

"Not married? Then Xiaoxiao is?"

"Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao is."

Yun Yun's eyes were filled with panic. Although she didn't want to expose the truth to Xiao Yan, she couldn't bring herself to say that Yun Xiao was not her biological daughter. She had already failed as a mother. If she said that her biological daughter was adopted in order to avoid trouble, then she would be hopeless as a mother. What was the difference between this and throwing her own child away as a shield?

In a panic, Yun Yun said something almost identical to what she said to Nalan Yanran without thinking.

"That man left after I became pregnant with Xiaoxiao, and I never saw him again."

However, as soon as Yun Yun finished speaking, her heart suddenly tightened and she looked at Xiao Yan.

As expected, Xiao Yan's face had become extremely dark at this time.

"That is to say, after you gave birth to Xiaoxiao, Sister Yunyun, that man never came to see his wife and daughter again?"

"Ahh. Yeah."

The words had been spoken, and Yun Yun could not change her mind and could only nod in agreement, while Yun Shan, who was standing beside her, covered his face with his hands in pain.

Based on his understanding of Xiao Yan, he could guess what Xiao Yan's next reaction would be.

"Sister Yunyun, please tell me who that man is."

Xiao Yan stood up and faced Yun Yun, a thick black aura flowing through his body, his pupils scarlet and frightening, revealing the murderous intent that he was trying hard to suppress, as he spoke word by word.

"I'll help you catch him."

Chapter 450 Argument

When I first left home to travel, Yun Yun could be said to be the first companion I met, and I felt very comfortable getting along with her.

Xiao Yan admitted that he had some special feelings for Yun Yun. Although he never expected to have a future with her, he also hoped that Yun Yun could live a happy life. Therefore, when he learned that Yun Xiao was Yun Yun's daughter, Xiao Yan was indeed a little disappointed, but he did not feel unwilling at all.

Given their identities, there was no possibility for him and her to be together. In his heart, Xiao Yan only regarded Yun Yun as a sister without blood relationship.

However, now?

All Xiao Yan felt was anger.

What kind of person is Yun Yun? She has a sense of justice and takes her responsibilities seriously. She did make mistakes in neglecting the management of the sect, but she actively made up for it afterwards, and even almost disbanded the Yunlan Sect, which she regarded as her home.

And it was such a person who met a scum who abandoned his wife and children. Xiao Yan would not be so angry if it happened to a stranger, but when it happened to someone around him, Xiao Yan's anger could no longer be contained.

To be honest, after hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Yan's first reaction was to catch the unknown man and kill him.

But, that man is Yun Yun's husband and Yun Xiao's father after all. Even because of this relationship, Xiao Yan should give him a chance.

If the other party admitted his mistakes and was willing to make amends and come back to accompany Yun Yun and Yun Xiao, then Xiao Yan could endure it for the time being.

But if he is really an irredeemable scum, then Xiao Yan will never show mercy!

You say this is meddling?

This time, Xiao Yan really wants to meddle in other people’s business!

Yunshan saw the murderous intent in Xiao Yan's eyes and looked helpless. He glanced at his disciple slightly, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

You really can't lie at all. Others lie to avoid trouble, but why do you make things more troublesome by telling a lie?

Yun Yun's brows twitched constantly. She also realized that she seemed to be really incapable of making up lies. At the same time, she also deeply understood a truth.

Once you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with countless lies.

The main hall suddenly fell into silence, without any sound except Zi Yan licking her lollipop and looking around with a pair of confused eyes, not knowing what was going on.

But remaining silent is not a solution.

After a long time, Yun Yun sighed deeply, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke in a low voice.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to interfere."

Unrelated? How could it be unrelated?

Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan intently with melancholy in her eyes.

She really wanted to tell Xiao Yan the truth, not only for herself but also for Yun Xiao.

However, every time Yun Yun had this thought, the image of Nalan Yanran just coming out of the Gate of Life and Death that day would flash through her mind. Her miserable image, like a savage, would make her unable to say the words.

This is a mistake you made, so you should bear it yourself instead of passing the pain on to Yanran.

Looking at Yun Yun's resolute expression, as if she was determined not to let him interfere, Xiao Yan clenched his fists tightly, and the hatred in his eyes became more and more intense.

Sister Yun Yun must be protecting that man.

Damn! This kind of scum!

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, but was unwilling to give up. Yun Yun was a person who valued friendship and loyalty, and Xiao Yan had known this for a long time. Because of this, Xiao Yan could not accept a scum taking advantage of Yun Yun's friendship and loyalty to hurt her.

"Sister Yun Yun, that man is a husband and a father, but he abandoned his wife and daughter. Why should you consider such a scum?!" Xiao Yan stood up, raised his hand and gently stroked his chest and assured: "Please rest assured, I will not kill him immediately after I find him. I will bring him back to see you and let him deeply understand his mistakes."

"If he still refuses to change his ways and refuses to correct his mistakes, I will help you if you can't do it! At least give you and Xiaoxiao an explanation!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, Yun Yun's eyes became more complicated.

The more he acted like this, the more Yun Yun didn't want to tell him.

It seemed that Xiao Yan was describing how he dealt with a man he had never met, but Yun Yun knew that Xiao Yan also required the same of himself. He would never tolerate such a despicable behavior as abandoning his wife and children, including himself.

Yun Yun could already foresee what actions Xiao Yan would take after learning the truth.

"Xiao Yan, I'm glad you're angry for me, but it's really not necessary." Yun Yun said softly with sorrow in her eyes, "I've let it go. Xiao Xiao is also very happy in Yun Lan Sect. It doesn't matter whether that man is here or not."

This sentence is not only to persuade Xiao Yan, but also to persuade himself.

Yes, Xiaoxiao has so many people accompanying her, she is very happy even without her father.

As for myself, this was a mistake I made in a moment of confusion, so naturally I should bear the consequences myself.

Even if she had to keep this matter secret for a lifetime, she didn't want to hurt her good disciple who respected her so much.

However, Xiao Yan still refused to retreat easily and started arguing again.
