Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Sure enough, this mission is a scam! If I knew that Xiao Yan had a Dou Huang following him, I would not accept it even if you gave me ten times the reward! No matter how high the reward is, it is useless if you don’t have the life to spend it!!!

The man in black is real, I regret it

Chapter 73 Temporary Farewell

After hearing what the man in black said, Yunzhi frowned tightly.

According to her guess, this was done by an elder in the Yunlan Sect, and it was almost certain.

But speculation is just speculation after all. Without solid evidence, Yun Zhi cannot replace all the elders of the Yunlan Sect. This would be too disheartening.

And even if we do this this time, what about in the future?

If such unsubstantiated speculations occur again in the future, will we have to replace another group of elders?

Can I just keep silent for now?

Yunzhi was unwilling and bit her teeth lightly.

In the final analysis, it was all because of the lack of strict discipline on the part of the sect leader himself.

Yunzhi swung the sword angrily and chopped off the man in black's head without waiting for him to beg for mercy, with a decisive look in her eyes.

Once this problem is resolved, I will never run around again.

The sect that I manage has encountered such a big problem, but I, as the sect leader, know nothing about it. I am really useless!

Moreover, Yunzhi vaguely felt that the Yunlan Sect currently had more than one problem.

He is capable of doing something as simple as hiring someone to kill someone, so he must have done a lot of other dirty things as well!

"Sister Yunzhi, please lift your feet."

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan's voice brought Yun Zhi back to her senses. She stepped on the ground in a daze. Then she saw Xiao Yan took out the torso of the man in black under her feet, and put it together with the head and limbs that Yun Zhi had cut off into a deep pit that had been dug at some point, and put them together to form a normal corpse.

Well, you are much luckier than the three robbers I met before. You managed to keep your body intact.

Xiao Yan shrugged lightly and began to fill the deep pit with the Xuanzhong ruler. Yun Zhi watched his actions and couldn't help but recall the action of Xiao Yan to build a grave for the three robbers when they first met. She looked at him helplessly.

“Even a man who almost killed you, are you going to bury him?” Yun Zhi slowly put away her sword, and suddenly remembered something, so she reminded him, “Wait a minute, take out his storage ring before burying it. Since he can stay in the Black Horn Region, there should be a lot of good things in his storage ring.”

Yun Zhi's words made Xiao Yan stop what he was doing and turn to look at her.

"Sister Yunzhi?"

"Ah? I don't want to. This goes against my bottom line."

Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, then denied it.

Yun Yun was not so poor as to collect the belongings of the dead, no matter how precious they were.

The property of the deceased should never be touched, as it would be unbearable to bear the resentment from the deceased.

No matter what it is, once you get used to it, it will become a matter of course. Right and wrong will gradually become confused and indistinguishable, and you will eventually lose your bottom line. This must be avoided at all costs.

This is also the truth that Yunshan taught her since she was a child.

It’s just that most people would choose to make the best use of things. In most people’s minds, when a person dies, he is dead, and the things he leaves behind should be confiscated by the living. Few people can restrain their greed.

"If Sister Yunzhi doesn't want it, then I naturally won't want it either."

Xiao Yan chuckled and continued to pick up the Xuan Zhong ruler to dig the hole. Yun Zhi stood quietly by the side, watching his actions, and crossed her arms helplessly.

Before meeting Xiao Yan again, Yun Zhi had never thought that besides herself and her teacher, there were such upright people in the world.

Deep down, she liked Xiao Yan more and more.

If she really wants to find a life partner in the future, Xiao Yan should be the person who best meets her ideal.

Yunzhi thought so, and then suddenly came to her senses. She shook her head quickly and knocked her head angrily.

I almost started to think wildly again

While Yun Zhi was reflecting on herself, Xiao Yan had already dug the pit. He got a stone from the roadside and stood in front of the grave. He closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, paying tribute to the man in black who he didn't even know his name and who had been commissioned to assassinate him.

At the same time, I recalled that I didn’t want to travel with Yunzhi a week ago, and I felt deeply afraid in my heart.

If Yunzhi had really left at that time, I might be dead now.

The gap between his own strength and that of a Dou Wang was too great, and even with Yao Chen's help, Xiao Yan did not think he could escape successfully.

The strength is still too weak.

Xiao Yan's heart was filled with deep self-reflection.

Although from previous events, Xiao Yan has deeply understood that power cannot promote righteousness.

But if you don’t have the power, you can’t even protect yourself, let alone spread the truth.

And some things can only be successfully carried out with the assistance of strength.

No matter what you want to do in this world, strength is indispensable.

After the worship, Xiao Yan dusted off the Xuan Zhong ruler and glanced at Yun Zhi.

"Sister Yunzhi, do you want to continue resting?"

".Let's go."

Yunzhi stared at the simple grave for a long time and replied.

Although I'm not afraid of this kind of thing, I always feel creepy sleeping next to a grave.

Xiao Yan nodded, put the Xuan Zhong Chi back on his back, extinguished the campfire, and set out on his journey again with Yun Zhi.

Both of them began to think about their own things about what had just happened. They walked forward quietly without saying a word.

They walked until about dawn, when Xiao Yan and Yun Zhi finally arrived at their destination, a small town closest to the Warcraft Mountain Range.

The name of the town is Qingshan. As it is closest to the Warcraft Mountains, it is also called the Warcraft Town. The most common people here are mercenaries who risk their lives to save lives and doctors who heal the wounded. Many mercenaries who go to Wutan City to trade also come from here.

After entering the town, Yun Zhi looked at Xiao Yan and said softly.

"Xiao Yan, let's say goodbye here."

Yun Zhi's words made Xiao Yan slightly stunned. He had gotten used to Yun Zhi's company over the past week. Now that they were about to part, he couldn't help feeling a little reluctant.

Obviously, I was reluctant to go with Yunzhi at the beginning.

Xiao Yan smiled helplessly. Naturally, he would not stop the other party from leaving because of personal wishes, no matter how reluctant he was.

"Sister Yunzhi, take care. This week's interaction has made Xiao Yan very happy. Thank you for accompanying me all the way." Xiao Yan's face became serious, and he clasped his hands and looked at Yunzhi seriously. "Sister Yunzhi, you saved my life. Xiao Yan will remember it in his heart and will repay you in the future!"

Looking at Xiao Yan's serious face, Yun Zhi felt full of guilt in her heart.

What's the point of saying you saved my life? This disaster was brought to you by the Yunlan Sect that I manage.

"Anyway, be careful." Yunzhi waved her jade hand lightly, turned around and left, leaving behind the last words, "See you later."

Looking at Yun Zhi's gradually receding back, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his eyes.

(Hey! Xiao Yanzi!) Suddenly, Yao Chen’s unhappy voice rang in Xiao Yan’s heart, (How could you let her go? She’s your Douhuang wife!!!)

"."

Yao Chen's words brought Xiao Yan back from his sadness, and he felt an immense headache instead.

(Senior Yao, I think daydreaming will only add to your troubles.)

(If you can’t handle it, we can help you! With our help, what girl can’t you pick up?)

"."

Xiao Yan’s head hurt even more.

Although Xiao Yan did respect Yao Chen very much, this was absolutely true.

But Xiao Yan sincerely hoped that his teacher's character would be less of a gangster, at least more like a woman.

Chapter 74 Wan Yao Zhai

Ignoring Yao Chen's unrealistic remarks, Xiao Yan began to stroll in Qingshan Town, observing this small town that he had never set foot in.

The small town in the early morning was full of life. Various shops were preparing to open. There were also large numbers of mercenaries shouting in the streets, organizing people to enter the World of Warcraft Mountains.

Xiao Yan suddenly noticed that although these mercenaries were gathered in different groups, there was one place where the largest number of people gathered.

And unlike other mercenaries who gathered in an open space, these mercenaries actually gathered in front of a store.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, put up his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and saw the plaque at the door of the shop clearly.

Wanyaozhai.

It’s a herbal medicine store, no wonder there are so many people around.

Xiao Yan nodded in understanding. These mercenaries who were preparing to go into the mountains would definitely prepare life-saving healing medicines before setting off, so it was natural for them to gather in front of the herbal medicine store.

But just as Xiao Yan thought this, he discovered something was wrong.

There were obviously other herbal medicine shops around, and although there were mercenaries coming in and out in groups of three or four, the number of people gathered in front of Wanyaozhai was far less than that.

Moreover, this group of people just gathered at the door, and no one was seen going in to buy medicine.

What is this

Just as Xiao Yan was thinking, the mercenaries at the entrance of Wanyaozhai suddenly became agitated.

"Little Medical Fairy! My goddess!"

"Pick me, pick me, pick me!"

"Get lost! Am I not much more powerful than you?"

Well, Xiao Yan probably knew it.

Xiao Yan scratched his hair lightly. Such popular women can be found everywhere, even in Qingshan Town where mercenaries gathered.

After guessing this, Xiao Yan was not curious enough to see what kind of fairy the so-called Little Medical Fairy was.

In any case, Xiao Yan was confident that no woman could compare to Yao Chen in terms of appearance, and a woman who could gain such prestige in Qingshan Town, which was much more chaotic than Wutan City, must be one with certain means, otherwise it would be impossible for her to survive here.

In other words, Xiao Yan would most likely not get along with this kind of woman.

Since they don't get along, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't have too much interest in it.

In comparison, he was more interested in Wanyaozhai.

Before leaving home, Yao Chen said that he would teach Xiao Yan how to make medicine, but he encountered robbers in the first half of the journey, and Yun Zhi was with him in the second half, so Xiao Yan had no chance to learn.

Taking this opportunity, you might as well go to the herbal medicine store and take a look. It would be best to learn more about medicinal herbs before refining the medicine, so that you won’t be clueless when you start learning.

Fortunately, although there were many mercenaries surrounding the entrance of Wanyaozhai, they were all rushing for the Little Medical Fairy in front of the door. There were not so many people at the entrance. Xiao Yan squeezed in easily and saw a middle-aged man squatting on the ground sorting out medicine boxes. When he noticed someone coming in, he slowly raised his head. When he saw Xiao Yan's still childish face, he was stunned at first, and then asked with a smile.

"Little brother, do you want to buy some herbs?"

"Oh no, I just came to take a look."

Xiao Yan waved his hands a little embarrassedly, and bluntly stated that he was not here to buy medicine. The middle-aged man did not get angry. He stood up with the medicine box and put it on the counter, then looked at Xiao Yan sideways and chuckled.

"It's okay. The store has just opened and there aren't many customers. Just look around."

"Thank you." Xiao Yan thanked him softly, then he thought of something and asked softly, "My name is Xiao Yan, may I ask your last name?"

“Hahaha~ You’re quite polite, little brother. This is rare in Qingshan Town. The mercenaries here are considered to be restrained if they can talk without yelling.” The middle-aged man smiled, and it was obvious that he had a good impression of Xiao Yan. “My last name is Yao, and I’m the boss of this Wanyaozhai. You can just call me Boss Yao.”

Then Boss Yao took a look at the extremely heavy Xuanzhong ruler that Xiao Yan was carrying on his back and asked curiously.

"Little brother, are you a mercenary too?"

"I can't be called a mercenary. I'm far inferior to those real mercenaries. I just arrived in this town today." Xiao Yan replied modestly, then pointed to the crowded mercenaries outside the door and asked Boss Yao: "Boss Yao, do the mercenaries in this town recruit people to enter the Warcraft Mountain Range every day?"

"Ah~ As long as the weather is not particularly bad, it is basically like this."

Boss Yao replied like this. Xiao Yan glanced at the three bottles of healing medicine on the counter. They were obviously very different from normal medicines. It was obvious at a glance that they were not the kind of bulk medicine that could be produced by ordinary methods.

"Boss Yao, are you an alchemist?"

Xiao Yan asked, but Boss Yao just waved his hand.

"How can that be possible~ Little brother, don't overestimate me. If I were an alchemist, my nose would be up in the sky by now~"

Boss Yao said cheerfully, and it can be seen that although he is middle-aged, his personality is indeed quite carefree and optimistic.
