Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Or would you rather make them feel guilty than face up to the problem and take responsibility for your mistakes? Then your seemingly selfless behavior seems to be no different from selfishness."

"It is a despicable thing to turn yourself from an offender into a victim."

After Ziyun said this, Yunshan looked at her in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to say something like that."

In everyone's mind, Ziyun is a carefree and heartless person. No one would have thought that she could say such inspiring words.

In response, Ziyun just waved her hand lightly.

"I am just explaining my usual cognition in your human language. When faced with a problem, I never procrastinate. I will solve it immediately if I can. If I can't solve it now, I will always look for opportunities to solve it. I have never thought of the option of avoiding the problem."

Ziyun stood up and walked to Yunyun's side, raised her hand, patted her shoulder and grinned.

"What are you afraid of? What's the saying you humans have? If enemies come, we will stop them. If water comes, we will block it with earth. As long as we really want to solve the problem, there is nothing that cannot be solved. At worst, you and your disciple can just marry Xiao Yan together. Anyway, the facts are like this. No matter how unwilling you are, your disciple has to accept it. Then we can slowly repair the relationship."

Yun Yun couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

This is indeed what Ziyun could say.

Ziyun's thinking is like this, straightforward, without hiding anything, not complicated at all, although what she says is difficult for most people to accept for a while.

Yun Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Maybe it was really like Ziyun said, I was thinking too much and made things so complicated.

"Let's talk about it then"

This is all Yun Yun can say now.

But she kept Ziyun's words in her heart.

It seemed like I was just avoiding the problem before.

Just as Ziyun said, some problems can never be avoided.

On the other side, Xiao Yan took Zi Yan away from Yunlan Sect, and Yao Chen also returned to the ring.

At this moment, Xiao Yan felt extremely heavy in his heart, and he whispered in his heart.

(Senior Yao, what you just said to Sister Yunyun)

(Don't ask, I'll tell you when the time comes.) Yao Chen whispered, and then asked back, (And Xiao Yanzi, can you really not guess it?)

These words shocked Xiao Yan's mind, and Yao Chen stopped talking.

Yao Chen knew that Xiao Yan had a very straightforward mind, or to put it bluntly, he was slow.

But in the situation just now, no matter how stupid Xiao Yan was, he could vaguely guess some clues and guess why Yun Yun insisted on not letting him go find the man who had abandoned his wife and children.

However, Xiao Yan's overly heavy sense of responsibility obscured the answer in his heart. Deep down, he could not accept that he was the man whom he hated so much.

Thus unconsciously deceiving oneself.

Ha. We are really committing a sin.

Yao Chen sighed deeply, determination surging in his heart.

In order to prevent his sin from becoming more serious, he had to resolve this issue this time no matter what he said.

Yao Chen was thinking this in his heart. Xiao Yan had a heavy face and seemed to be full of worries. No one knew what he was thinking about.

After coming down the mountain and arriving at the Holy City of Jia Ma, Xiao Yan didn't know what to do for a moment. He wandered aimlessly on the street with Zi Yan. When he was about to turn around and ask Zi Yan, suddenly a small figure and an even smaller figure flashed in the crowd in front of him. He was startled and followed them with Zi Yan.

"Brother Zijing! I want to eat this!"

Yun Xiao's hand was held by Zijing, and she raised her other hand to point at a snack stand in front of a restaurant. Looking at the barbecue on the stove, Yun Xiao's eyes were shining with gold. Smelling the aroma wafting out, she couldn't help drooling at the corner of her mouth.

As mentioned before, the food in the Yunlan Sect cafeteria can only be said to be not bad at best. It is far inferior to the food in the Gama Holy City.

Seeing this, Zijing smiled helplessly. Yun Xiao actually didn't eat much, but he was very greedy. He just walked around the street and wanted to eat anything that smelled delicious, but basically he only took two bites and then lost interest. The rest was left to Zijing to deal with.

How should I put it? Zijing inexplicably had the feeling of helping Yunxiao deal with the leftovers, even though she had already gotten used to it.

Zijing thought so and looked up at the clerk in front of the snack stand.

"Give me a bunch, please."

"Okay~"

The clerk responded enthusiastically, picked up a skewer of grilled meat, sprinkled some seasoning on it and handed it over. Yun Xiao excitedly raised his hand to take it, blew on the hot air on the grilled meat in big mouthfuls, and carefully bit off a piece. His expression showed some pain from being burned, but more of it was joy from the bottom of his heart.

Although Yunlan Sect is his home, in the heart of Yun Xiao, the Holy City of Gama really crushes Yunlan Sect in all aspects.

Putting aside other things, how could the Yunlan Sect have so many delicious and fun things?

While Yun Xiao was carefully tasting the barbecue, Zijing, who was reaching into his arms to take out money, was stunned. Then he took out a cloth bag from his arms, turned it over in his hand, and indeed nothing came out.

Well, the result was obvious, he had no money, not a single gold coin.

(Did Xiaoxiao eat too much?)

Zijing covered his forehead with his hands as if he had a headache. He basically didn't spend money when he had nothing to do. So far, almost all his expenses were spent on buying delicious and fun things for Yunxiao, which also led to him not paying attention to his wallet all the time.

By the way, when was the last time you asked Aunt Yunyun for money?

Zijing recalled the past in distress and looked at the clerk with some embarrassment.

"Um. Sorry, I don't think I have any money."

"what?"

The clerk was also stunned for a moment, and looked at the barbecue in Yun Xiao's hand which had been bitten into. However, Yun Xiao didn't notice anything wrong at all and continued to eat the barbecue happily.

“This is troublesome.”

The clerk looked embarrassed, but he could see that Zijing didn't do it on purpose. The kid really didn't notice that he had no money. So he didn't deliberately make things difficult for him and just waved his hand helplessly.

"Forget it, forget it. Just consider this skewer of barbecue as a treat from uncle."

Seeing the clerk being so generous, Zijing felt embarrassed and kept nodding.

"I'm so sorry, I'll get the money and send it to you later."

After hearing Zijing's sensible words, the clerk no longer felt any resentment in his heart. Just as he was about to speak to dispel Zijing's apology, a voice suddenly came from behind Zijing.

"I'll pay for them."

"Ok?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Zijing turned her head and immediately a look of joy appeared in her eyes.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Chapter 452 Owe

Zijing looked at Xiao Yan who was standing behind him, and Yun Xiao, who was eating barbecue, heard Zijing's voice and turned his head. He looked up at Xiao Yan with his big watery eyes, confused at first, then suddenly realized.

It’s the person I just met on the mountain!

Recalling his mother's teachings that he should not talk to strangers easily, Yun Xiao quickly hid behind Zijing, poking his little head out from his side and staring at Xiao Yan vigilantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan was slightly startled, with a strange look in his eyes and his heart trembling uncontrollably.

This child is actually.

"Xiao Yan! I want to eat that too!"

At this moment, Zi Yan tugged at his sleeve, raised her hand and pointed at the barbecue on the stall, her eyes flashing with golden light and drooling from the corners of her mouth.

Xiao Yan came back to his senses, looked at the clerk, and said softly.

"Please give me another string, plus this for the child. How much is it in total?"

When the clerk saw that someone was paying the bill, there was naturally no need to maintain a calm demeanor. He took a skewer of barbecue from the grill and handed it to Zi Yan. Zi Yan took it and took a bite of it happily. The clerk also looked at Xiao Yan, glanced at the huge coffin behind him in confusion, and then retracted his gaze.

"Ten gold coins in total."

Xiao Yan nodded, took it out and handed it to the clerk. The clerk put the money away and said a few more words happily.

"I never thought you had such a big daughter at such a young age." The clerk leaned on the counter and said something that startled Xiao Yan. Then the clerk lowered his head and looked at Yun Xiao who was hiding behind Zijing. "That's great. Your father specially came over to accompany you shopping."

"He is not my father! Xiaoxiao doesn't know him! Xiaoxiao has never seen her father!"

Yun Xiao denied without hesitation while holding the barbecue, which made Xiao Yan's heart tremble. The piercing guilt was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

The clerk was also stunned, turned to look at Xiao Yan, and noticed the slightly complicated expression on the other's face, and hurriedly said.

"I'm sorry, I guessed wrong."

However, although the clerk said this, he was also worried in his heart.

No way? I have been doing this business for many years. Apart from other things, I can basically guess what the interpersonal relationships are like in front of the stall. Moreover, Xiao Yan and Yun Xiao in front of me both give people a lot of similar feelings at first glance. How could they not be father and daughter?

As for the clerk's words, Xiao Yan neither confirmed nor denied it, but just smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, it's just that the situation at our home is a little complicated."

Immediately, Xiao Yan slowly knelt down, looked at Yun Xiao who was hiding behind Zijin, and said softly.

"Xiaoxiao."

However, as soon as Xiao Yan opened his mouth, Yun Xiao immediately took Xiao's head back and grabbed Zijing's clothes tightly. Because of the barbecue in his hands, the clothes on Zijing's back were stained with oil. He buried his head in Zijing's back and shouted.

"Mom said not to talk to strangers! Otherwise you will never see Mom again!"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Yun Yun taught. Although under normal circumstances, normal people would certainly not dare to have any evil thoughts about the daughter of the leader of the Yunlan Sect. Even if they ignore Yun Yun, the two big Buddhas, Yunshan and Ziyun, are standing behind the Yunlan Sect. Who wants to die?

But on the other hand, Yun Xiao's special identity also makes him more likely to be targeted than ordinary children. The money obtained from kidnapping Yun Xiao can be enough to live for a lifetime, provided that he is not afraid of death.

When the clerk saw this scene, a guess immediately popped up in his mind, and he looked at Xiao Yan with a little helplessness.

"I'm telling you young people, you are parents after all, don't always think about your career, spend more time with your children. If they don't recognize you after a while, you can't blame them."

After hearing his words, Xiao Yan's guilt doubled.

Although the clerk's guess was slightly off, it was correct in the general direction. It's just that the actual situation might be more serious than he guessed.

Xiao Yan stood up and nodded to the clerk to express his gratitude. Although his words made him feel even more guilty, in a sense, being accused of wrongdoing by an outsider from an irrelevant perspective made Xiao Yan feel a little better.

It is true that I was not aware of it before, but not all things can be brushed off with the three words "I don't know".

Then Xiao Yan looked at Zijing and smiled.

"Zijing, can I go shopping with you guys?"

Zijing looked up at Xiao Yan, then turned to look at Yun Xiao who was hiding behind her, with a hint of realization in her eyes.

Not talking about experience and strength, at least in terms of IQ, Zijing might be much better than his mother. He didn't know this before because he had never thought about this aspect. And the conversation between Xiao Yan and the clerk just now was so obvious. If he still can't see it, his two years of work would be in vain.

"it is good."

Zijing smiled and nodded, then took the initiative to reach out and pull Yun Xiao out from behind him, squatted beside him and whispered to Yun Xiao.

"Xiaoxiao, this big brother is not a stranger, he is Aunt Yunyun's friend."

"My mother's friend?"

Yun Xiao opened her bright eyes, turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan, Zijing smiled and rubbed Yun Xiao's hair.

"So don't be afraid, will this big brother take us to play together?"

Yun Xiao paused for a while, then nodded slightly.

"it is good."

In her heart, Zijing is one of her closest people, and she absolutely believes in everything Zijing says.

Since Brother Zijing said it’s okay, then there’s no problem.

Yun Xiao turned around and faced Xiao Yan, looked down at the kebab in his hand and hesitated for a while, then raised his head and handed the kebab to him.

"For you to eat!"

"Uh, give it to me?"

Xiao Yan was stunned and raised his hand to point at himself. Yun Xiao nodded heavily.

"Mom said that we should learn to share delicious food with friends!" However, after saying this, Yun Xiao's eyes showed doubts, and he touched his lips with his other hand and murmured in confusion, "But you are Mom's friend, not Xiaoxiao's friend. Can Xiaoxiao not share the food with you?"

"Ah"
