Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Thank you." Yun Zhi smiled and thanked Xiao Yan again under his puzzled gaze, "Really, thank you very much."

Hearing Yun Zhi's thanks, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

I always felt that Yunzhi was not thanking me for passing the barbecue to her, but because of other things.

Probably, it's just an illusion.

Xiao Yan cast aside meaningless thoughts and responded with a smile.

"You're welcome~"

Chapter 69 A Chapter for Readers

Well. Announcing a piece of news that is good news for me but may be bad news for everyone else.

This book will be on the shelves tomorrow, the first of the month.

This means that the following chapters will be charged.

Of course, I really hope that many people can subscribe to my books, after all, I can make money.

But the reality is not that optimistic. We are all busy in life and may not have spare money to read novels. In addition, with the recent epidemic, everyone should save as much money as possible in their pockets.

It is normal to read pirated copies. Although I am the author, I also read pirated copies occasionally, because sometimes I really don’t have spare money, but I still want to read it.

And it is true that some authors' chapters are so watery that many people feel that it is not worth spending money to read them, which I understand.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to those who support genuine subscriptions.

As for readers who read pirated copies, to be honest, I am definitely unhappy, but I won't curse at them or anything. Everyone has their own difficulties. We should understand each other more in life. There is no need to be so violent. This is the same theme of the book I wrote.

I only hope that readers who read pirated copies, if you see a plot that makes you unhappy later, please try to restrain yourself and try not to come to the comment section to post negative comments. Not only will it make me unhappy, but other readers of the genuine book will also be affected.

In addition, regarding comments, I will keep them as long as they do not contain personal attacks or overly subjective opinions. I don’t think my book is good enough to receive only positive reviews. Everyone has different values ​​and perspectives, and they always have their own opinions. Moreover, some negative comments can indeed point out some points that I have not noticed, which can make me realize them earlier and actively correct them, and I am happy to see that.

As for those who start insulting right away, I'm sorry, I will ban them permanently. No matter whether you are a genuine reader or not, I hope you can forgive me.

I am very grateful for the support of the readers who think my writing is good in the comment section, but when you see negative comments, you can make a few comments, but try not to develop it into an argument, which will end up with both of you being furious. We are just reading a novel for fun, and there is really no need to get angry.

This book can be regarded as my personal practice work. Although it has some flaws so far, I am generally satisfied with it.

As for the question of strength, I hope you won’t worry too much about it. I myself haven’t thought too much about it. This novel actually focuses more on the development of the plot, and it might even be considered a novel about party struggles?

There are also some gender changes that I wrote on a whim. In fact, there is no need for them. Just like Xiao Yan's eldest brother and second brother, I just changed their genders because I thought it was interesting. There is no other meaning. But it is difficult to change it now, so I guess it will teach me a lesson.

The five-day update, which is ten chapters, will be put up on the shelves tomorrow. After that, I will continue to update twice a day as usual and save up manuscripts. I hope to finish it within half a year and write my next original novel.

Also, a small complaint. I didn't plan to put it up tomorrow, but the editor suddenly informed me that it's on the 1st. I don't even have any manuscripts saved. I have to stay up late tonight to work on it.

Finally, I would like to thank all the readers again for their continued support. I will continue to work hard to write plots that will make readers happy and satisfied, and I hope that everyone can give me more support.

Chapter 70 It's a bit of a pity

"Xiao Yan, is this ok?"

Yun Zhi's tone was full of nervousness, but Xiao Yan had a calm expression and spoke softly.

"No. Wait a little longer."

“Oh no.”

Yun Zhi suddenly let out a low hum of fantasy, but Xiao Yan remained unmoved, with a finger raised in front of his mouth.

"Hush, wait a little longer. We are almost there."

"Um"

After another ten seconds, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted and he shouted.

"alright!!!"

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, Yun Zhi immediately picked up the barbecue on the campfire. Immediately, a burst of fragrance filled her nose, making Yun Zhi's eyes sparkle with excitement.

Nineteen times! Nineteen times!

A week had passed since Yun Zhi started traveling with Xiao Yan. During this week, Yun Zhi stubbornly tried several times, but finally failed eighteen times under Xiao Yan's command. She successfully roasted the meat once in the nineteenth time!

Yunzhi excitedly put the barbecue to her mouth and took a big bite. After chewing it twice, her eyes flashed with stars.

It didn't turn into charcoal! It tasted great too! It was edible!

"call"

Compared to Yun Zhi's excitement, Xiao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the remaining hot sweat on his forehead.

Finally, it was successfully baked.

Xiao Yan felt helpless. Yun Zhi was obviously a Dou Huang, so barbecuing was not a difficult task in his opinion. However, Yun Zhi seemed to have no talent at all. With his help, she had been working hard on the challenge for the past week and finally succeeded today.

To be honest, with Yunzhi's cooking skills, she should be able to compete with her elder sister Xiao Yu.

But Yunzhi is really persistent, or should we say stubborn. She is obviously disappointed and irritable after each failure, but in the end she forces herself to calm down and challenge again, which is quite rare.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but pinch his chin and think about it.

This spirit of perseverance and stubbornness feels so familiar, just like someone I know.

Who on earth is it?

Just as Xiao Yan was searching for the target person one by one in his mind, something suddenly flew towards him. Xiao Yan hurriedly came to his senses and caught it. It was a half-ripped and still hot piece of barbecue.

"Let's eat together. This is my first successful barbecue!"

Yunzhi greeted him excitedly, the indifferent look she had when they first met almost gone.

Perhaps, this is Yunzhi's nature.

Xiao Yan looked at Yun Zhi and couldn't help but laugh softly. Yun Zhi looked at Xiao Yan's smile and wrinkled her nose in displeasure.

"What? Are you going to laugh at me for my rare success?"

“No, no, no, how dare I do that~” Xiao Yan waved his hands quickly, holding the barbecue in one hand and gently touching his cheek with the other, smiling: “It’s just that I feel that Sister Yunzhi is much more cheerful than when we first met.”

"Eh?"

Yun Zhi was slightly stunned, and then Xiao Yan added again.

"When we first met, she was a Dou Huang who was high above everyone else, standing in the clouds and looking down on everyone indifferently. But now, there is no trace of Dou Huang at all. She looks more like the big sister next door."

"Is it."

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Yun Zhi gradually came back to her senses and recalled the journey with Xiao Yan this week.

Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't been this happy in more than ten years.

The number of times I laughed from the bottom of my heart this week may be more than in the previous ten years combined.

Staring at the barbecue that she had grilled herself, Yunzhi couldn't help but fall into memories.

Ever since she could remember, Yunzhi had been practicing with her teacher Yunshan, learning how to be a good person from Yunshan. She firmly adhered to her original intention and worked hard to climb the path of practice with a single-minded focus, and she seldom had any free time of her own.

After succeeding the leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yunzhi had almost no free time. The burden of the sect instantly fell on her, and she got used to carrying it without any complaints.

Or, in other words, they don't realize that they have complaints.

Even Yunzhi herself didn't realize that she was almost suffocating under the weight of the responsibilities she was carrying.

If not for this, Yun Zhi would not have chosen to ride in a slow carriage, let alone choose to travel slowly with Xiao Yan, which she used to think was a pure waste of time.

Perhaps deep down in her heart, she also longed to put aside the burden on her shoulders and have a good rest.

But I was really surprised that I could have such a happy rest.

No. Wrong

Yun Zhi's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Xiao Yan who was eating the barbecue she made and constantly praising it. Her eyes, which should have been indifferent, now revealed a hint of tenderness.

It was him who was deliberately guiding me to be happy.

Now that I think about it, the reason why I am so focused on barbecue is all thanks to him.

(No wonder Yanran would cling to this child so tightly.)

Yun Zhi stared at Xiao Yan quietly. She originally wanted to see what kind of person this boy her disciple loved so much was and why she accompanied him on the trip, in order to prevent her beloved disciple from being deceived by villains.

Now it seems that Nalan Yanran's vision is completely correct. Even Yun Zhi would find it difficult to find flaws in Xiao Yan even if she wanted to.

This boy was truly too outstanding, and possessed an integrity that even Yun Yun had never achieved.

No. Xiao Yan's integrity is far inferior to that of even his teacher Yun Shan!

Yunzhi thought so and was happy that Nalan Yanran had found such a good match, but a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

(Give it to Yanran, it’s a bit of a pity)

Ok? !

After being stunned for a few seconds, Yun Zhi was suddenly startled and slapped herself on the forehead, making a sound that immediately broke the silence of the entire night. Xiao Yan, who had barbecue in his mouth, suddenly choked. Then he swallowed the barbecue with great effort, stood up in a panic, and looked at Yun Zhi worriedly.

"Sister Yunzhi! What's wrong with you?!"

"Ah, I'm fine." Yun Zhi opened her eyes and looked at the panicked Xiao Yan in front of her. Her eyes regained their usual calmness. "Don't worry about it. It's just a mosquito."

"what"

Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly, and seeing that Yun Zhi was indeed fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

At this time, Yunzhi also sat up cross-legged, closed her eyes and began to meditate as she hadn't done for a long time, calming her turbulent heart and complaining secretly.

Yun Yun, ah Yun Yun, have you never seen a man?

This is your disciple's fiancé.

Don't take action

Looking at Yun Zhi who suddenly started meditating for no apparent reason, Xiao Yan's head was full of question marks.

It wasn't a mosquito just now, was it?

Just when Xiao Yan was confused, Yao Chen's voice sounded from the ring.

(Xiao Yanzi, based on my experience of knowing countless people over the years, I can be very sure and certain that this girl is attracted to you.)

Yao Chen's tone was quite firm, but Xiao Yan denied it in his heart without hesitation.

(Senior Yao, please stop joking with your disciple. He is a high and mighty Dou Huang, so he would never fancy me anyway.)

(Alas~~~Since you don't believe it, then there is nothing I can do~) Yao Chenqing in the ring spread his hands and asked casually, (So if what I said is true, what do you think of this girl? Do you want to marry her?)

Hearing Yao Chen's question, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and then answered solemnly in his heart.

(To be honest, I think.)

Chapter 71 Attack and Kill

Xiao Yan would not lie, nor would he go against what he really wanted in his heart, and he listed one by one the reasons why he wanted to marry Yun Zhi.

(Although her looks are not as good as Senior Yao's, she is definitely one in a million with a stunning beauty, which is something I, as a man, definitely like.)

(She seems indifferent and indifferent to everything, but after spending these days together, I found that Sister Yunzhi is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, just like a big sister next door. It will be very comfortable to get along with her in the future.)

(The most important thing is that Sister Yunzhi’s values ​​are very compatible with mine. She is probably the most upright person I have ever met. After marrying her, I don’t have to worry about the problem of different values.)

Xiao Yan explained the reasons why he wanted to marry Yun Zhi based on her appearance, personality, and world views, and then spread his hands lightly.

(But in the end, these are just my wishful thinking. I want to marry her, but she doesn’t want to marry me.)

(He is a high and mighty Dou Huang, and the power behind him must be huge. It would be a despicable blasphemy for the disciple to continue to fantasize about him.)

(Also, the most important thing for me right now is to help Senior Yao rebuild his body and pursue the right path. Marriage is still a long way off. By the time these things are resolved, Sister Yunzhi will probably be married, and maybe even have a child.)

Xiao Yan thought so and simply dismissed the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

It's good to just get along like the sister next door, no need to go any further.

Then Xiao Yan stretched his body, glanced at Yun Zhi who was still meditating with her eyes closed, lay down on his side, put aside his messy thoughts, and fell into a deep sleep while thinking about ways to spread the righteous path.

Yao Chen in the ring glanced at Xiao Yan who was sleeping soundly, then glanced at Yun Zhi who was meditating with her eyes closed, and a hidden smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Marriage, you can't wait for it, Xiao Yanzi~

Just when Yao Chen was thinking about something in his heart, he suddenly realized something and scolded Xiao Yan in his heart.
