Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

(You still have the nerve to criticize others?)

Hearing Xiao Yan's inner thoughts, Little Medical Fairy immediately mocked him, leaving Xiao Yan speechless.

At this time, Hai Bodong looked at Yao Ye and asked softly.

"Does Jia Xingtian know that you followed me?"

The inexplicable disappearance of the royal heir caused much more trouble than Yun Xiao's disappearance.

In response, Yao Ye pounded his chest lightly.

"Don't worry, I left a letter in the room before I left. Great grandfather knows that I followed you."

After hearing Yao Ye's words, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, even though Yao Ye was fooling around, at least he still had a sense of responsibility, although it was not much.

"Master Hai Bodong, what should we do?"

Yafei looked at Hai Bodong and asked, but Hai Bodong waved his hand indifferently.

"Since you've left a letter, then don't worry. We're already here, and it would be too much trouble to turn back. Let's write a letter to Jia Xingtian later so that he doesn't have to worry."

"Master Hai Bodong! Thank you very much!"

Yao Ye, who was originally worried about whether Hai Bodong would send him back, was filled with joy. When he heard that Hai Bodong agreed to let him follow them, Hai Bodong leaned on the sofa and whispered.

"Don't run around when you get to the Black Horn Region, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Jia Xingtian if anything happens."

"Don't worry, I know my limits!"

Yao Ye patted his chest and made the assurance, but he received unanimous suspicious looks from several people.

A sensible person would not run away from home.

Chapter 488 New Name Cai Lin

A week later, the flying beast that Xiao Yan and his companions were riding on finally arrived at Black Seal City in the Black Horn Region.

The flying beast landed on the ground, and Hai Bodong jumped down first. Looking at the people coming and going in front of him, the children were running happily on the street, and the vendors on the roadside were also very enthusiastic, which made Hai Bodong wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

Although Xiao Yan had told them during this week that the Black Horn Region was different from before, Hai Bodong could never have imagined that it would change so drastically.

Yao Ye was also surprised. Was this still the Black Horn Region that she had heard about from her great-grandfather?

At this time, other people also got off the car one after another. Xiao Yan turned around and said to Ya Fei while carrying the coffin.

"Sister Yafei, I will take you to the Eight Gates now to discuss the Mittel family's move in."

Ya Fei nodded slightly. During this week, Xiao Yan had explained to them the current situation in the Black Horn Region, so they naturally knew where the eight gates were.

When Xiao Yan was about to leave, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the side of the road.

“Robbery!!!”

Hearing this exclamation, Hai Bodong's expression did not change at all. Instead, he nodded as if it was a matter of course.

Isn't that what the Black Horn Region is like? Burning, killing and looting are the true nature of this place. It would be strange if it were a peaceful and prosperous place like the Gama Empire.

Xiao Yan's expression turned grim. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man running away carrying a package. Xiao Yan immediately took a step forward and wanted to chase him.

The Black Horn Region is now in the initial stage of establishing rules, and any criminal behavior will not be tolerated.

However, before Xiao Yan could make a move, a black shadow suddenly jumped out, raised its long legs wrapped in black stockings, and stepped heavily on the fleeing man.

"Run away from me again?!"

Anger was revealed on the girl's heroic face, and two young men in black uniforms were chasing after her.

"Captain Hu Jia!"

"Put this guy in jail and return the goods to the merchant. He's not done with it!"

Hu Jia picked up the man under her feet and threw him to the two young men. At this time, a familiar voice came into her ears.

"Hujia."

"Hmm?" Hu Jia turned her head and saw Xiao Yan walking towards her with a look of surprise in her eyes, "Xiao Yan? You're back?"

"How did you get into this business?"

"Oh~ Don't mention it!" Hu Jia waved her hands unhappily when she heard Xiao Yan's question. "Isn't it because Senior Sister Xiao Yu asked me to do this? It's not just me. Wu Hao and his gang are also watching in other areas. The rules have been set, but there are still so many people stealing and robbing. It's really annoying."

While talking, Hu Jia's eyes jumped when she saw Zi Yan behind Xiao Yan.

"Senior Zi Yan, you're finally back. Senior Han Yue was almost worried sick."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I leave her a letter?"

I get angry when I talk about Zi Yan. It's not like I ran away without saying anything, so why do I have to call her back in a hurry?

"That's great, Hu Jia, please tell Senior Sister Xiao Yu and the others to wait for me at the headquarters. I'll be there right away."

"You really think of me as an errand boy?" Hu Jia's mouth twitched, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it. You are the boss here now. I'll go and tell them for you."

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yan smiled and thanked him, then turned to look at the others, "Let's go now."

Then the group was led by Xiao Yan and walked in front, with the flying magic beasts following slowly behind them, crossing the streets. Pedestrians on the road cast their eyes on this novel scene, and the places where most of their eyes stayed were probably the three beauties, Queen Medusa, Ya Fei and Yao Ye.

One is proud and cold, one is charming, and one is handsome and heroic. They all have the demeanor of a queen, but their styles are very different, making people unable to help but take a second look.

Oh, now she should not be called Queen Medusa, but [Colorful Scale].

This was not a random name chosen by Xiao Yan, but Queen Medusa herself asked Xiao Yan to give her a new name, which confused Xiao Yan at the time.

No? Your name is fine, why do you want to change it? And you want me to change it? Who am I to you?

Xiao Yan wanted to refuse at that time, but for some reason Queen Medusa was very serious and insisted that he come up with a name. Xiao Yan really couldn't refuse, so he named it [Cai Lin] based on the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

Hearing this name, it can be seen that Queen Medusa is quite satisfied, and she recalls Yue Mei's words in her mind.

[Your Majesty, if you want Xiao Yan to have feelings for you, then find a way to make Xiao Yan stop treating you as Queen Medusa and treat you as a friend. If you can accept it, it’s best to change your name, and you can’t change it yourself. Otherwise, as long as he keeps calling you Queen and treating you as Queen Medusa, I’m afraid you will never have a chance unless you force him.]

Obviously, this hard approach doesn't work for Xiao Yan now.

Moreover, Queen Medusa herself felt that this kind of thing really could not be done by force alone. It was the first time in her life that she listened to other people's advice and tried to change herself for a man.

Changing your name is the first step.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the Black Seal City Auction House, where the eight doors were located, and explained their request to see Yuan Yi to the guards at the door.

At first, the guard didn't react when he saw Xiao Yan, but after Xiao Yan said his name, he immediately put on a respectful expression and responded quickly.

"Please wait a moment. I will go and inform the Sect Master right away!"

Then the guard immediately turned around and ran in. During this time, Yafei was also looking at the Black Seal City Auction House in front of her.

Although the decoration is not as luxurious as Mittel Auction House, it can still be seen that the scale is larger than Mittel Auction House.

After a while, Yuan Yi walked out of the auction house with a smile on her face, and strode towards Xiao Yan.

"Chief Xiao Yan, you are finally back!"

"Master Yuan Yi, long time no see." Xiao Yan chuckled and greeted, then turned sideways to introduce Ya Fei and Hai Bodong to Yuan Yi, "This is Miss Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of Mitel Auction House, and that is Lord Hai Bodong, a shareholder of Mitel Auction House."

When Ya Fei was introduced, Yuan Yi had no reaction, but after Xiao Yan introduced Hai Bodong, Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment.

Hai. Hai Bodong? This kid?

Hai Bodong was a well-known strong man in the Northwest Continent, so he naturally knew it, but why did he look like this?

But Yuan Yi was a businessman after all, and the astonishment in his eyes only lasted for a moment, and then he calmly invited everyone.

"Thank you for coming all the way here. I am Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Gates and the owner of this auction house. Please follow me inside and let's talk."

"Captain Yuan Yi, I won't go in. I have to go to the Evil Prison headquarters." Xiao Yan chuckled and raised his hand, "I am just responsible for introducing you. You can discuss it slowly with Miss Ya Fei and the others. I am a layman in business and I will not bother you any more."

"I understand. There have been a lot of troubles in the Black Horn region recently. Go and do your work. I will entertain these people."

Yuan Yi nodded, and Xiao Yan frowned when he heard his words.

A lot of trouble?

However, Xiao Yan did not ask in detail and turned to look at Ya Fei and Hai Bodong.

"Sister Yafei, Senior Haibodong, you guys should talk to Sect Master Yuanyi. See you later."

"Go ahead. I didn't expect that Brother Xiao Yan is still a busy man here."

Ya Fei covered her mouth and chuckled. Xiao Yan scratched his face embarrassedly, turned around and asked Zi Yan and Yao Ye to leave. Cai Lin followed closely behind without any surprise.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Evil Prison headquarters. Xiao Yan entered the hall and just put down the coffin when a figure pounced on him and hung tightly around his neck.

"Cousin Xiao Yan! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Mei, who was hanging on his neck, lovingly, and then turned his gaze to look at Xiao Yu who was walking over. "Sister Xiao Yu, thank you for your hard work during this period."

"I've been really tired. Since you and Xiao Yixian left, all the work has been piled on me. I can't even get a good night's sleep."

Xiao Yu frowned worriedly. She had thought that there would be fewer problems after the unification of the Black Horn Region, but she did not expect that there would be one trouble after another, no less than before. Ruling a force was not as simple as it seemed.

At this time, Han Yue rushed up quickly, came to Zi Yan and grabbed her shoulders tightly.

"Senior Zi Yan! You're finally back!" Without giving Zi Yan time to react, Han Yue picked her up and left, "I'm going to take you to see Elder Su Qian now, or he'll really get mad!"

"etc."

Zi Yan was taken away by Han Yue before she could even say anything, which made Xiao Yan's mouth twitch.

It can be seen that Han Yue is really anxious.

At this time, Xiao Yu looked at Yao Ye and greeted him. He had a pretty good impression of this eldest princess whom he had met two years ago. Then he turned his gaze to Cai Lin, was stunned for a moment when he saw her stunning face, and asked Xiao Yan softly.

"Xiao Yan, who is this?"

"She is beautiful"

Xiao Yan was about to introduce himself, but Cai Lin responded first.

“I” Cai Lin habitually wanted to call himself “This King”, but then stopped abruptly, “My name is Cai Lin, and I’m Xiao Yan’s friend.”

It can be seen that Cai Lin tried her best not to be so arrogant, but she still gave people the feeling that she was looking down on Xiao Yu from a superior position.

"friend?"

Xiao Yu stared at Cai Lin blankly. How could her expression look like that of a friend?

Xiao Yan also looked at Cai Lin in astonishment. He had had a distinct feeling these past few days that Queen Medusa had changed a little too much.

But he didn't know that it wasn't just him. Cai Lin herself felt uncomfortable as well. After all, she was suddenly forced to change her arrogant habits of words and deeds for so many years. She didn't feel comfortable at all, she whispered in her heart.

(Yue Mei, if your suggestion is useless, then just wait for me.)

At this moment, Yue Mei, who was far away in Chisha City of Jiama Empire, could not help but shudder.

Chapter 489 Cai Lin's Reflection

"So this is what happened in the Gama Empire"

In the room, Xiao Yu frowned after listening to what Xiao Yan said. Xiao Mei heard about the crisis again and again from Xiao Yan's narration, and couldn't help but hug him tighter.

"No wonder, there have been a lot of troubles in the Black Horn region recently."

Xiao Yu said with a look of realization, and Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

"I just heard Yuan Yi mention it. What happened?"

"Recently, there have been a lot of foreign invaders coming to the Black Horn Region, from the highest Dou Huang to the lowest Dou Zhe, all of them have come here." Xiao Yu fiddled with her hair in pain, "Later, we captured a few people and interrogated them, and found out that they were all from the three countries of Izumo. I guess they were stranded outside when their country was destroyed, so they escaped."

Xiao Yu said this, bending slightly.

"In fact, the weak ones are fine. They have been quiet and peaceful since they came here, and some of them have already settled down. But the Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs thought that the Black Horn Region was the same as before, and they came to the Black Horn Region to cause trouble almost every day. If we hadn't asked for help from Great Elder Su Qian, it would not have been so easy for us to repel them time and time again."

“It’s a real problem”

Xiao Yan frowned. He had learned from Jia Xingtian before about the destruction of the three kingdoms of Izumo, but at that time, he was more disgusted with the law of the jungle in this world, and was grateful that the strong man did not endanger the Jia Ma Empire.

People are selfish after all, and Xiao Yan himself is no exception. If he is asked to choose between a stranger and his family, he will definitely choose the latter.

But they never thought about where those who were left homeless by the destruction of their country would go.

Now it seems that the result is very obvious. As a hostile country, the Gama Empire will definitely not be able to go. The only place they can go to in the entire northwest continent is the Black Horn Region.

I guess those people still hold the idea that the Black Horn Region is still the same as before, where the strong prey on the weak. If it were the previous Black Horn Region, those Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs who came here would not only not dominate the region, but at least they would be able to live a carefree and comfortable life.
