Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

While Xiao Yan had so many questions in his mind, Yao Chen in the ring teased him with a wicked smile.

(Did you hear that, Xiao Yanzi? Am I right? This girl fell in love with you at first sight~)

(Senior Yao, please don't make trouble for now.)

Xiao Yan pinched his nose bridge because of a headache, sorted out his thoughts, looked at Yun Zhi and asked.

"Um, Sister Yunzhi, may I ask what you like about me? Why did you fall in love with me at first sight?"

"Love at first sight, do you need a reason?"

Yun Zhi asked back calmly, leaving Xiao Yan speechless for a moment. After a while, he asked again.

"Am I handsome?"

"Well, it's okay. It's one of those that are more durable."

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yun Zhi actually looked at Xiao Yan's face seriously and finally gave this answer.

"Does that mean you prefer younger ones?"

"I don't like it at all. Kids your age are too willful. It's already a headache for me to manage a disciple of your age. I don't want a second one."

Yunzhi said this, tilting her head and sighing deeply.

Xiao Yan could tell from the expression on her face that she was really not good at dealing with people of her age. The disciple that Yun Zhi mentioned must have caused Yun Zhi a lot of trouble.

Xiao Yan thought so in his heart and asked again.

"So the love at first sight you mentioned, is it for the purpose of getting married?"

"Not at all. Let alone getting married, I have no idea about men at all now."

Yun Zhi did not hide it at all and waved her hand to deny it bluntly, which made Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

What the hell is love at first sight?! Forget about lying, but can you be more logical?

"Alas," Xiao Yan sighed heavily, and used the back of his hand to gently push away Yun Zhi's arm that was grabbing his shoulder, and said seriously: "Sister Yun Zhi, please tell me what you have to say. There is no need to cover it up with such a ridiculous reason as love at first sight."

Xiao Yan also realized that Yun Zhi was willing to tell such a crude and outrageous lie in order to keep him, so there must be other important reasons.

Anyway, as a fighter, I can neither defeat nor run away from the Dou Huang, so I might as well ask him directly.

"I can't tell you the reason." Yunzhi said calmly, and then looked at the boy who was a little shorter than her. "In short, I will follow you for the next few days until I am satisfied."

"."

Xiao Yan was speechless.

Can he say no? Even if he did, what would happen?

A Dou Huang has clearly expressed his desire to follow me, so how can a Dou fighter like me say no?

(Isn’t this great? You have a Dou Emperor as your personal bodyguard for free, and you’re not happy about it? Maybe after a few days of getting to know him, he’ll really be attracted to you, a little Dou Zhe~~~)

Listening to Yao Chen's no-nonsense words in the ring, Xiao Yan felt his head hurt even more.

But Xiao Yan still wanted to struggle.

"I can't ride in a carriage."

"It doesn't matter. I just want to take a walk."

“Our destinations may be different.”

"It's okay. I have plenty of time this time. It's okay to delay for a month or two."

"It might be boring following me."

"It's okay. What I'm least afraid of is being bored."

"."

Xiao Yan was completely speechless. It turned out that his sister was really determined to follow him?

Speaking of this stubborn character, where have I seen it before?

Xiao Yan frowned, thinking about this inexplicable feeling of familiarity in his mind.

While Xiao Yan was thinking about this,

"Ah sneeze!!!"

Nalan Yanran, who had just temporarily finished her training, sneezed suddenly and rubbed her small nose in confusion.

"That's strange, you don't have a cold?"

Nalan Yanran looked at Ge Ye beside her and asked.

"Elder Ge Ye, is the teacher not back yet?"

"Well, the Sect Master said that she might be out for a longer time this time, and she won't be back for more than a month."

"That's it"

Nalan Yanran nodded slightly, stretched her arms after a short rest, and began to practice again. Her eyes were shining and full of longing for the future.

He clenched his fists, feeling a sense of heroism in his heart.

Xiao Yan! Just wait for me!

Three years later, I, Nalan Yanran, will definitely! Absolutely spend my wedding night with you in Yunlan Sect!!!

Chapter 68 Reappearance of Memories

Dusk has passed and night has fallen.

A bonfire was burning by the side of the road, and on both sides of the bonfire sat a man and a woman, who were Xiao Yan and Yun Yun, who went by the alias Yun Zhi.

Faced with this Dou Huang sister, Xiao Yan, a young Dou Zhe, could neither get rid of her nor dare to drive her away. He could only start the journey with Yun Zhi under desperate circumstances.

Xiao Yan took the roasted meat off the campfire, sprinkled spices on it and handed it to Yun Zhi.

"Sister Yunzhi, here, be careful with the heat."

Even though the other party insisted on following him, Xiao Yan was not a rude person, so he naturally would not eat by himself while Yun Zhi was watching him.

Of course, putting personality aside, Xiao Yan also wanted to avoid making the other party unhappy and hit him twice. A casual wave of the Dou Huang's hand was not something a small Dou player like him could withstand.

"Thank you."

Yunzhi thanked him lightly, took the barbecue with her delicate hands, opened her pearly teeth slightly, tore off a piece, and chewed slowly.

Compared to Yun Zhi's elegant eating style, Xiao Yan seemed a little rough. He looked at Yun Zhi while eating the barbecue, thinking secretly in his heart.

She is really beautiful. If Xiao Yan had not been accustomed to Yao Chen’s stunning beauty, he would definitely be disturbed by Yun Zhi’s beauty.

But now, after going through Yao Chen's baptism, facing this peerless beauty in the eyes of ordinary people, Xiao Yan's heart no longer feels too much waves.

I'm afraid that the looks of all women in the world would pale in comparison to Yao Chen.

As Xiao Yan thought about this, he began to ponder Yun Zhi's identity.

As expected, Yunzhi must have come from some big sect. She could be so elegant even when eating barbecue in the wild.

But as far as Xiao Yan knew, there should be no Dou Huang strongman like Yun Zhi in the Jia Ma Empire.

There is a person named Yun Yun, who is Nalan Yanran’s teacher and the current leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Although Xiao Yan had never met Yun Yun, according to his guess, there was no reason for Yun Yun, a Dou Huang powerhouse, to use a pseudonym when facing a Dou fighter like him. Moreover, he was Nalan Yanran's nominal fiancé, so there was no need for her to hide her identity.

Therefore, Xiao Yan guessed that Yun Zhi should be a disciple from a hidden sect in the Jia Ma Empire who came out to gain experience, and it is even possible that she is not from the Jia Ma Empire.

Ask why.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at the pieces of barbecued meat beside the campfire that were burnt black and hard like charcoal, his eyes full of helplessness.

These are all Yunzhi’s masterpieces.

When Xiao Yan took out the prepared meat skewers from his storage ring and was about to grill them, Yun Zhi was curious and volunteered to try it herself. As a result, she made some things that were hard to chew, and Yun Zhi felt deeply guilty about it.

As expected, Yunzhi can't be Yunyun.

Xiao Yan was so confident in his heart.

Yun Yun is the leader of the Yunlan Sect. She must have gone out for training many times. How could she not even know how to roast meat?

It was obvious that this was a disciple who had been practicing in a secluded sect and was only released to go out for training in the past two days.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at Yun Zhi with a hint of pity in his eyes.

He has the strength of a Douhuang, but knows nothing about the outside world. His life in the past must have been nothing but cultivation, which must have been very boring.

"Ok?"

Yun Zhi, who was eating barbecue, noticed the look Xiao Yan was giving her and raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Obviously, Yunzhi didn't understand that the look was called sympathy.

Then Yunzhi looked at the failed products she had just made, which were called barbecue but were actually made of charcoal, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes.

With his status and strength, he usually has someone to serve him when he goes out on weekdays, so he never has to worry about food and drink. Even if things get worse, he can always find a restaurant in the small town to eat.

Now that he was out alone, on the journey with Xiao Yan, he had undoubtedly exposed how poor his self-care ability was. He couldn't even grill a simple piece of meat properly, and was not even as good as a sixteen-year-old boy.

What a shame

Yunzhi thought to herself and began to vent her anger on the barbecue. She no longer ate as elegantly as before and tore off a large piece and chewed it vigorously.

After seeing this scene, Xiao Yan became more certain of his guess.

In order to cultivate their moral character, most of the food in those large and secluded sects is light and refined. How could they possibly allow their disciples to eat this kind of roadside barbecue?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's pity for Yun Zhi deepened, and at the same time he began to believe in the righteous path.

It turns out that the law of the jungle should not exist in this world.

It is not just the weak who are persecuted by this concept. Even some strong people are forced to become strong due to the concept of the survival of the fittest.

He spent almost his entire life improving his abilities, leaving him with no time to appreciate the true beauty of life. He didn't even know what he really wanted to do.

In his own empty world, there is only practice, practice, and practice again.

How empty and boring.

Does this kind of life really have meaning?

Feeling his mood gradually becoming depressed, Xiao Yan shook his head suddenly. Seeing that Yun Zhi had almost finished the barbecue in her hand, he picked up a piece of freshly grilled meat from the campfire and handed it to her with a gentle smile on his face.

"Sister Yunzhi, eat slowly, I still have more."

Yun Zhi, who was venting her resentment at the barbecue, heard Xiao Yan's words. She first looked at the barbecue in his hand, and then her gaze shifted to Xiao Yan's gentle smile. Under the light of the fire, that sincere look made Yun Zhi suddenly feel the warmth that she had not experienced for a long time.

This is a look that comes from the heart and shows concern for someone without any purpose.

Yunzhi’s thoughts couldn’t help but go back to the past.

The young boy in front of him actually overlapped with the unaging face of Yun Shan, who was both his teacher and father in his childhood memories.

When I was still a little fighter, my teacher Yunshan took me out for training. When he handed the barbecue to me, he smiled so gently and handed the barbecue to me.

That should be the happiest moment of my life so far.

I was so happy that the young me unconsciously thought that I was born into this world just for that moment.

There were no distractions, no desires, and the taste of the barbecue could not compare to the luxurious banquets in those big restaurants.

But Yunzhi felt from the bottom of her heart that that moment was very warm, and she would feel nostalgic every time she thought of it.

However, the warmth that Yunzhi missed so much has not been experienced for more than ten years.

No one has ever given me this warmth again, including Yunshan who once gave me this warmth.

It was not only because Yunshan was in seclusion, but also because Yunshan before the seclusion made Yunzhi feel cold and unfamiliar.

Yunzhi couldn't explain it, but he had a vague intuition in his heart.

I don't know when my teacher changed.

The beautiful memories of the past have become memories forever.

I thought it would never happen again.

Now, it is this young man in front of me

Yun Zhi slowly came back to her senses, reached out and gently took the barbecue from Xiao Yan's hand, and said lightly.
