Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

(Maybe~) Xiao Yan shrugged lightly, and then found that he happened to pass by the snack street, and whispered, (Xiao Yixian, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you~)

(What do you mean by inviting me? I can taste the food, but the food is still in your stomach, right?) The Little Medical Fairy smiled, but still gave the order, (I want to eat the candied haws, the barbecue, the roast goose, the roast chicken, ah! And the fried spareribs!)

Hearing that Little Medical Fairy had ordered almost all the delicacies along the way, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

(Xiao Yixian, I may not be able to eat so much)

(Who cares about you? It’s a rare opportunity to eat as much as you want without getting fat, how can I let it go?) The Little Doctor Fairy urged without mercy, (So eat! Eat until I’m satisfied! I’ll make sure you never do anything without considering my feelings again!)

(Hahaha)

Xiao Yan laughed dryly, but still patted his face and followed the instructions of the Little Medical Fairy to start buying up the delicacies along the way.

In Zhongzhou Continent, within the Ancient Clan, one of the eight ancient clans.

On top of a towering mountain, a woman with long black hair and an extraordinary appearance stood gracefully on the edge of a cliff. If she took just one small step forward, she would fall into the abyss.

However, the woman didn't care at all. She held the scroll tightly in her hands with both hands, her eyes wide open and staring at the information written on the scroll.

The woman's surname was Gu and her name was Xun'er. She was the daughter of Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan and one of the strongest men in the world. She had an eye-catching appearance and extraordinary talent, making her the eldest lady of the Gu clan that everyone looked up to.

She is now two years younger than Xiao Yan, but her strength has already reached the terrifying five-star Dou Zong!

However, even though she was so blessed, as if she was a favorite of God, her expression at this moment was extremely ferocious, and darkness was written all over that enchanting face.

Dejection, disappointment, unwillingness, regret, one negative emotion after another flowed through her eyes.

Behind her, there was a dark figure kneeling, trembling and not daring to move at all.

Xun'er's exclusive bodyguard, Ling Ying.

Real strength, three-star Dou Zong.

Two years ago, he was still at the peak of Douhuang. In the past two years, Xun'er asked the family for a lot of resources in her own name so that he could help Xiao Yan in emergencies, and she forced Ling Ying, a man of mediocre qualifications, to his current level.

At this time, Ling Ying lowered his head, staring at the ground.

Although Xun'er didn't react at all at this time, it was precisely because of this that it seemed even more resentful and angry in her heart!

The whole air was filled with a suffocating pressure, making Ling Ying dare not even breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, a golden flame instantly ignited in Xun'er's hand and burned the scroll as clean as a thread. Then she took a deep breath, turned her head slightly, and looked at Ling Ying with squinted eyes with a bright smile on her face.

"Brother Xiao Yan is really amazing. He has unified the Black Horn Region. I guess he will be able to come to Zhongzhou soon. Xun'er is really looking forward to it."

Hearing Xun'er's words, Ling Ying was suddenly stunned.

Eh?

Why this reaction?

Did I forget to write it on the scroll?

This shouldn't have happened. I hesitated for several days before handing it to the lady. Finally, when I realized I couldn't hide it anymore, I gritted my teeth and gave it to her.

But considering the lady's love for Xiao Yan, how could she have such an attitude after knowing about Yun Yun and Xiao Yan?

Ling Ying was puzzled. He raised his head slightly and saw Xun'er's face.

Then, seeing the lifeless eyes between Xun'er's squinting eyes, his heart seemed to be suddenly tightly grasped by an invisible hand!

To die!

Die, die, die! ! !

Ling Ying was covered in cold sweat and his body was shaking violently uncontrollably.

"Mr. Ling."

"My subordinate is here!"

Ling Ying did not dare to delay for even a second and responded sternly.

Then Xun'er was about to say something, but stopped abruptly and sighed slowly.

"Forget it, you go down, I need to practice, continue to keep an eye on Brother Xiao Yan."

"As you command, please take care of yourself, young lady."

After saying that, Ling Ying turned into a shadow and left without looking back.

Xun'er forced herself to calm her trembling heart, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice more attentively than ever before.

Hurry up and improve your strength and get the qualifications to leave the ancient clan.

Xun'er was very sure that Yun Yun was definitely not the last one!

In order to prevent his brother Xiao Yan from falling victim to a woman's murder again, he must rush to his side as soon as possible to protect him!

Chapter 496 Test

In the Black Horn area, as night fell, the streets did not return to darkness but were instead brightly lit.

Xiao Yan covered his slightly swollen belly and walked leisurely on the street, feeling helpless.

Little Medical Fairy really took advantage of the fact that it was not her own body, or perhaps to punish him for his willfulness, and madly ordered Xiao Yan to eat all kinds of delicious food, and only stopped when Xiao Yan was about to vomit.

(See if you dare to make me angry next time!)

The Little Medical Fairy smiled proudly, feeling very relieved in her heart.

This was because Xiao Yan was willing to play along with her. If Xiao Yan really ignored her, there was nothing she could do now.

But it is true that I ate a bit too much.

Xiao Yixian couldn't help but feel nauseous. Although she would not gain weight, Xiao Yan's senses were reflected in her. Since Xiao Yan was so full that he wanted to vomit, she would not be much better. She didn't know whether this was a punishment for him or for herself.

Fortunately, the digestive system of a cultivator is much stronger than that of an ordinary person. After walking for more than ten minutes, Xiao Yan digested most of the food. He walked slowly towards the direction of the Evil Prison headquarters, still thinking in his heart.

It's nice to eat like this once in a while, right?

Not long after, Xiao Yan returned to the Evil Prison headquarters and happened to see Xiao Yu walking out. Her eyes lit up with joy when she saw Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, you're back?" Xiao Yu came in front of him, "I was just about to go look for you."

"what's up?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion, and Xiao Yu turned slightly.

"There's a guest inside, and he wants to see you by name."

"guest?"

Xiao Yan raised his head slightly and looked at the starry sky.

Whose guests come to visit at this time?

Xiao Yan walked in quickly, and Xiao Yu followed behind him.

But when Xiao Yan arrived at the hall and saw the so-called guest that Xiao Yu mentioned, he was suddenly stunned.

Old Man Yingshan? Didn’t he pass away???

At this time, the old man Yingshan was leisurely tasting the fragrant tea in his hand. After seeing Xiao Yan, he put down the teacup and smiled softly.

"Xiao Yan, you've kept me waiting for so long."

"Sorry, I just went to eat something." Xiao Yan came back to his senses and looked at the old man Yingshan strangely, "Senior, didn't you leave?"

"Leave? When did I say I was leaving?"

The words of the old man Yingshan made Xiao Yan suddenly stunned.

"But didn't you say at that time that you ran into those people because you were leaving the Black Horn Region?"

"Eh? Did I say that?" The old man from Yingshan scratched his bald head lightly, then patted his head helplessly, "Look at my memory, it just doesn't work as I get older."

You know what, looking at the actions of Old Man Yingshan, he really does look like a cute little old man.

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. When I said I was leaving, I was lying." The old man Yingshan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I came to the Black Horn Region this time to heal my wounds. How can I leave when my wounds are not healed yet?"

As he spoke, the old man Yingshan's dry palm gently stroked the storage ring, and an ancient wooden box appeared on the table, causing Xiao Yan's pupils to shrink slightly.

Isn’t this the box containing the Bodhi incarnation saliva that Old Man Yingshan presented to me that time?

"Xiao Yan, open it and take a look."

Old Man Yingshan leaned back on the sofa and gently spread his hands towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant, but still walked forward.

"excuse me."

Xiao Yan bent down slightly to open the wooden box, then suddenly paused.

empty???

Wait, since this box is empty, does that mean it was also empty when Old Man Yingshan gave it to me?

Xiao Yan’s brain was almost spinning, and then old man Yingshan spoke calmly.

“Xiao Yan, it wasn’t those people who blocked me, but I bumped into them on purpose.” The old man Yingshan looked at Xiao Yan’s astonished eyes and said slowly, “The purpose was to lure you out.”

Xiao Yan looked at the old man from Yingshan quietly, and after a long time, he asked in a deep voice.

"why?"

"Before I answer your question, let me ask you a question first." The old man from Yingshan looked at Xiao Yan, "Who is that Han Feng to you?"

"She is my senior sister."

Xiao Yan did not hide anything and answered frankly. Old Man Yingshan nodded in understanding.

"I see. With a junior brother like you, it's no wonder she didn't try to snatch it away." Elder Yingshan nodded slightly and continued, "In fact, the elixirs your senior sister brought to me in exchange for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva include several that I need. I am indeed willing to exchange them for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva."

"In the final analysis, for this old man, although the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva is valuable, it is far less precious than those elixirs that can heal my injuries."

Hearing what the old man from Yingshan said, Xiao Yan frowned even more tightly.

"Then why."

"But the premise is that I can trust her." The old man Yingshan interrupted Xiao Yan and said in a serious tone: "I can't trust your senior sister, or rather, I can't trust all alchemists."

"For a profession like alchemy, it's really easy for them to add something to the pills, especially in a private transaction like this. Even if the alchemist does something to the pills, I can only suffer in silence."

“Don’t think it’s impossible. The Black Horn Region was like this before. Even though the Black Horn Region has changed a lot now, I still can’t erase my suspicion of the alchemist.” Old Man Yingshan narrowed his eyes slightly. “I have always been a loner. Even if I am really harmed by someone, no one will come to help me.”

As Old Man Yingshan said this, there was a hint of loneliness in his tone.

“That’s why I’ve always only chosen famous auction houses when buying elixirs. Even auction houses in the Black Horn region care about their reputations. Plus, no one knows who will buy the items, so the chances of me being targeted are greatly reduced.”

“But unfortunately, I can’t get the elixir I want at every auction.”

The old man from Yingshan paused and continued.

"I came to the Black Horn Region to look for elixirs out of a fluke, and after the deal with your senior sister fell through, I felt hopeless. I never expected to meet a boy like you who is so different from ordinary people."

"I have heard about your deeds in the Black Horn Region. I instinctively feel that you are a person worthy of trust. However, my rationality in my heart stops me from trusting you so easily. I have suffered similar losses before."

"So I want to test you to see if you are really as upright as you appear to be. I took the initiative to release the news and meet those people." The old man Yingshan put his hands in his sleeves and explained lightly: "Whether I took the initiative to hand over the things to you, or I was ruthless afterwards, it was all to test your nature and test whether you are a trustworthy person."

"Those who take advantage of others' misfortunes are not worthy of trust."

"Those who coerce others are not worthy of trust."

"Those who take advantage of others are not worthy of trust."

"If you fail to meet my expectations in any way, I will never come back."

"But the facts have proved that I was overthinking. Even though I have absolute power and urgently need something that the other party has, I still can't help but rob it. If such a person cannot be trusted, who else in this world is worthy of trust?"

After listening to the old man Yingshan's narration, Xiao Yan understood his thoughts, but still couldn't help asking back.

"But senior, at that time, not only Senior Hai Bodong and Cai Lin, but even I have the urge to snatch it away. What would you do if we really did it?"

“Haha, Xiao Yan, don’t underestimate me.” The old man Yingshan smiled faintly, “Although my current strength is only at the peak of Douhuang, I have been alone for so many years, so I have plenty of ways to escape.”

“Let alone Dou Zong, even if it’s Dou Zun, as long as I’m determined to escape, I won’t necessarily be captured.”

After saying this, Old Man Yingshan reached out his hand to the ring again.

"Well, I have explained everything that needs to be explained. Let's officially start the transaction." The old man Yingshan took out a metal square box that is smaller than the previous box from his ring and placed it on the table. "This is what you need, Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. Take it."

"As for my request, it is also very simple. I want you to completely cure my injuries."

Xiao Yan looked at the metal box with fiery eyes, then calmed down and spoke softly to the old man from Yingshan.

"Senior, please put this thing away first."
