Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and looked at Yun Xiao. Although he had just seen Yun Xiao playing with Zijing Ziyan from a distance, when he got closer he could clearly feel that she was not as happy as she looked.

At this time, Zijing tugged at Xiao Yan's collar, and whispered in his ear after he squatted down.

"Xiaoxiao was raised by Grandpa Yunling since she was a child. She is still feeling miserable now."

"That's it"

Xiao Yan nodded in understanding. He also learned from Yao Chen what happened after his body was taken over by the soul, so he was truly grateful to Yun Leng from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for Yun Leng, Yun Xiao would have been...

Xiao Yan didn't dare to think further. He came to Yun Xiao, squatted down, and spoke gently.

"Xiaoxiao, can you come with uncle to find your mother? Uncle wants to tell you something."

Yun Xiao quietly looked at Xiao Yan's gentle eyes, and nodded slightly after a long silence. Xiao Yan smiled softly and stretched out his hand to hold Yun Xiao in his arms.

"Zijing, I'll take Xiaoxiao away first."

After leaving these words to Zijing, Xiao Yan walked inside holding Yun Xiao, and Zi Yan wanted to catch up with him.

Zi Yan was just waiting for Xiao Yan to wake up so that she could take credit for it herself, after all, she had helped so much that day.

However, just as Zi Yan took two steps, Zi Jing reached out and grabbed her, causing Zi Yan to turn around and glare at him in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"Sister Zi Yan, please wait a moment. Brother Xiao Yan and Aunt Yun Yun have important things to say."

".Forget it, you are my little brother after all, so I'll give you some face."

Zi Yan calmed down, and Zi Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xiao Yan's back.

He also guessed what Xiao Yan was doing here.

Over there, Xiao Yan had already carried Yun Xiao to the attic, and happened to meet Yun Shan who was walking out.

Yunshan stood at the door of the attic and looked into Xiao Yan's eyes, then spoke softly.

"Yun'er is inside, please go in."

"Thank you, Senior Yunshan."

Xiao Yan thanked him softly and walked into the attic carrying Yun Xiao. Yun Shan glanced at him sideways, then sighed softly, put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly.

This matter finally has a result.

Chapter 483 I'm Sorry

Xiao Yan carried Yun Xiao into the attic and saw Yun Yun standing in front of the table. Her proud body was straight, but her eyes were full of nervousness and her breathing was slightly accelerated due to nervousness.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan was surprisingly calm at this moment. Even he himself did not expect that his heart would be so calm.

The two's eyes met in mid-air, and both were silent, making the atmosphere in the attic strangely quiet. Yun Xiao also felt something was wrong, and his eyes kept moving back and forth between his mother and Xiao Yan.

After a long time, Xiao Yan held Yun Xiao and walked towards Yun Yun. Yun Yun stepped back suddenly as if in response to the pressure, but still could not stop the distance between them from getting closer.

Finally, when the back of Yun Yun's plump thighs touched the table, she had no way to retreat. Her body leaned on the table slightly weakly, and Xiao Yan also stood in front of her.

It was not until this moment that Yun Yun realized that the boy who was much shorter than her when they first met was now half a head taller than her.

Xiao Yan's eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at Yun Yun's slightly trembling pupils.

"Sister Yun Yun, I learned from Senior Yao about the agreement you made with her, and now, I have fulfilled it." Xiao Yan moved closer, holding Yun Xiao in one hand and gently holding Yun Yun's soft, boneless, white hand with the other, and said softly, "I want to make up for what I owe to you and Xiao Xiao."

There was no unnecessary apology. Xiao Yan just stated it to Yun Yun so seriously and solemnly.

The moment Xiao Yan held her jade hand, Yun Yun's body trembled violently. After hearing Xiao Yan's statement, Yun Yun's heart suddenly palpitated. She lowered her head slightly, and her hair covered her eyes.

"You don't owe Xiaoxiao and me anything. I owe you and Yanran. The relationship between you and me should never have happened."

"But now, it has already happened." Xiao Yan spoke softly, his eyes caressing Yun Xiao in his arms, "Now the result between the two of us is here, this is a fact that cannot be changed."

"Whether our relationship is justified or not, I must shoulder the responsibilities that I should shoulder."

Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun and spoke word by word.

"I will not use sophistry to justify our relationship, nor will I force you to change your opinion on this matter." Xiao Yan paused, his voice low but firm, "But at least when you and Xiaoxiao face the contempt and scorn of the world, I will share the burden with you and do my best to protect you."

"So Sister Yunyun, please be a little more selfish and willful, so that you and Xiaoxiao can rely on me without worry."

"This is what I should do."

Xiao Yan's words made Yun Yun stand there in a daze. She couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She stared blankly at Xiao Yan's clear and bright black eyes. There was nothing in his eyes except sincerity.

The sincerity between him and me hadn't changed at all, just like when I first met him.

Yun Yun lowered her head, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks, flowing around her white, jade-like chin, and dripping onto the ground.

The rejection speeches that I had rehearsed countless times in my mind completely disappeared at this moment.

"Xiao Yan, you are so deceitful." Yun Yun's choked voice slowly flowed out of her mouth. She raised her head slightly, her eyes flashing with tears and full of emotion. "How can I refuse you?"

As he spoke, Yun Yun leaned forward slightly and slowly rested her head on Xiao Yan's strong chest. Her hands tightly grasped his collar, unwilling to let go. Xiao Yan also gently took her and Yun Xiao into his arms.

Yun Yun enjoyed the warmth that she had been dreaming about, but in her heart, she was silently apologizing.

(Yanran, I'm sorry.)

"Ah!"

A young girl sneezed suddenly, then wiped the tip of her nose with her index finger and frowned in confusion.

This girl was none other than Nalan Yanran.

This is strange. I shouldn’t be able to catch a cold with my current physical condition, right?

When he looked downwards, he was surprised to find that the girl was sitting on a griffin, flying towards the Tianqing Mountains thousands of miles away from the Gama Empire.

And in the Tianqing Mountains, there is a city that is as prosperous as the Holy City of Gama. It is also the first destination of Nalan Yanran’s training this time, Tianya City.

Nalan Yanran did not come out for training this time rashly, but had made adequate plans.

She clearly understood that with her current strength, she would not be able to improve her strength quickly if she continued to stay in the Northwest Continent, so she had to go to the Central Plains Continent where opportunities were more abundant.

The Zhongzhou continent is an extremely vast area filled with powerful people, but it is also a place full of dangers.

If these powerful people from the Northwest Continent were placed in Central China, they would be nothing more than small shrimps as numerous as the hairs on a cow. This shows how dangerous it is for Nalan Yanran to go there.

But, so what if it’s dangerous?

This time it was a draw, fortunately it was a draw, but it was just a draw.

Nalan Yanran was very dissatisfied with this result.

Indeed, I almost won.

But on the other hand, I almost lost.

This won’t do! This won’t do!

It can't be just a little bit short, there can't be any element of luck, I must be absolutely sure that I am stronger than Xiao Yan, only then can I win against him without any surprises, only then can I marry him!

As for the extension of the agreement, it was just a sentence in the letter, Xiao Yan might not accept it, so should we just give up?

Don't even think about it! Nalan Yanran will never give up!

Regardless of whether Xiao Yan is willing to accept her renewal of the agreement, she must find ways to improve her own strength for the promised battle that may not come in the future!

She wants to win!

Definitely going to win!!!

Soon, the griffin that Nalan Yanran was riding crossed the towering Qingtian Mountains and arrived at her destination, Tianya City.

As they were approaching Tianya City, they saw many cultivators riding on griffins. It was obvious that they had the same purpose as Nalan Yanran.

Through the space wormhole set up in the large city of Tianya City, you can reach the Zhongzhou Continent in the shortest time.

According to what he had learned from the intelligence, those who built the space wormholes were basically the city's top powerhouses or seniors, so if the senior who built the space wormhole belonged to a certain family, then the space wormhole would also become the property of that family.

Of course, this is just something that others can hear. At least the family that created the space wormhole in Tianya City has long been in decline, and the ownership of the space wormhole has long been used as an asset to pay off debts.

In other words, in fact, the space wormhole in Tianya City is an ownerless object with no ownership.

The profit brought by a space wormhole is a terrifying figure, which is enough to support a large family from top to bottom. No one would be willing to be controlled by other families for such a high-profit facility.

But for this kind of thing, if you expect those families to sit down and negotiate the ownership honestly, that is definitely impossible, so it has evolved into the most primitive method of determining the ownership of the space wormhole.

Whoever has a stronger family is qualified to own it.

"Space wormholes? This is a great learning experience."

Nalan Yanran shrugged lightly. The minimum requirement for creating a space wormhole is to be a Dou Zun. However, the strongest person in the Gama Empire is only Queen Medusa, who is at the peak of Dou Zong. Therefore, such a thing will definitely not appear in the Gama Empire.

The griffin was finally about to arrive at Tianya City, and just as it was about to land, an illusory light and shadow suddenly flashed in front of the griffin, blocking Nalan Yanran's way.

He was an old man in a yellow robe, with the wings of fighting spirit fluttering slightly behind him, and he looked at Nalan Yanran with a bad look.

"Flying beasts are not allowed to enter the sky above Tianya City."

Although the words of the old man in yellow robe were solemn, they did not sound aggressive. It could be seen that he was simply talking about the rules. Therefore, Nalan Yanran did not feel displeased and answered calmly with her hands clasped together.

"Senior, please calm down. This is my first time in Tianya City. I am not very familiar with the rules here. I will go down now."

Seeing Nalan Yanran being so polite, the old man in yellow robe felt quite comfortable. After all, he guarded the gate here every day and encountered countless unreasonable visitors who relied on their own strength to disregard the rules, which was very disgusting.

Although Nalan Yanran in front of him was a Dou Huang, he did not feel any arrogance from her, which was not easy. Moreover, she was not very old. If other people of the same age had such strength at such a young age, they would probably be very proud of themselves.

"There is a place at the city gate below where my Luo family parked the griffins. After parking the griffins, just enter through the main gate of the city."

"Thank you, senior."

Nalan Yanran thanked softly and patted the griffin beneath her. With a cry, the griffin quickly descended and came to the place designated by the old man in yellow robe. Then Nalan Yanran jumped off the griffin and patted its head.

"Let's go back."

"Violence~~~"

The griffin roared again, turned around and flew back in the direction it came from.

This griffin was originally rented by Nalan Yanran. As a flying magical beast that can reach Tianya City directly, the price is indeed not cheap. Nalan Yanran directly gave away one fifth of his property.

"It seems like training will be very expensive in the future."

Nalan Yanran nodded lightly with a headache in her eyes, then turned around and stepped into the towering city wall gate of Tianya City.

Wandering on the streets, Nalan Yanran looked around at this strange city with curiosity and surprise in her eyes.

It seems that the intelligence was too euphemistic. Tianya City is much more prosperous than the Holy City of Gama.

However, despite the prosperity, Nalan Yanran was not interested in it. She was not someone who cared about such things. She came here to go to Zhongzhou.

"Go find someone and ask where the space wormhole is."

As Nalan Yanran was thinking this, there was suddenly a sound of horse hooves coming from the street ahead. The street, which had just been peaceful and harmonious, suddenly became chaotic. A girl in red rode her horse across the street at high speed, knocking over many innocent passers-by along the way, but she didn't care at all and had a crazy laugh on her face.

Obviously, the girl in red has a very pleasing appearance, but her brows reveal a sense of arrogance and wildness. Coupled with her arrogant behavior, people can't help but feel disgusted. Even her outstanding appearance cannot hide this disgust, making everyone angry but dare not speak out.

She is the eldest daughter of the Luo family. Whoever messes with her will be in trouble. The best option is to stay away from her.

"A good dog doesn't block the road! Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of my way! Otherwise, no one will be responsible if they are stepped on to death!"

What an arrogant girl.

Seeing the arrogant look of the girl in red, Nalan Yanran frowned unhappily.

Her status in the Holy City of Gama is also very superior, but it is just superior. Because her grandfather is the marshal of the Gama Empire, she has been strictly taught since childhood that she must not rely on her status to do evil and discredit the Nalan family. Nalan Yanran has indeed strictly abided by it and has never been so arrogant and domineering.

But this is not their territory after all, so Nalan Yanran didn't bother to care about what other people did. She just moved sideways to the side of the street to hide.

She came out to gain experience in order to improve her strength so that she could defeat Xiao Yan and marry him. Her purpose was very clear and it was definitely not to cause trouble.

Nalan Yanran was too lazy to cause trouble for things like this that had nothing to do with improving her strength.

However, it is true that Nalan Yanran does not want to cause trouble, but the girl in red does not seem to think so.

When passing by Nalan Yanran, the girl in red caught a glimpse of Nalan Yanran's resolute yet noble handsome face. A hint of surprise first flashed in her eyes, then jealousy and disgust covered the surprise. She suddenly pulled the reins to stop the horse and stared at Nalan Yanran closely.

Nalan Yanran was also wondering why the girl in red suddenly stopped her horse beside her. When she was thinking about it, she saw the girl in red holding a long whip, and without saying a word, she whipped Nalan Yanran's fair face.

Snapped!

Not surprisingly, the red-clothed girl's unprovoked whipping to hit Nalan Yanran was just a daydream. Nalan Yanran easily grabbed the whip, and although she was not hurt, her expression revealed her displeasure.

The girl in red can't be considered to be an unforgivable criminal as she whipped someone's face with a long whip without any reason, but she did whatever she wanted.
