Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Being lenient to others and strict with oneself, this is the fundamental reason why Xiao Yan can gain the recognition of everyone in the Xiao family.

During this period, Xiao Yan also used the prestige brought by the Xiao family's top leader to spread his own ideas.

It's really ironic. I hate those strong people who bully the weak, but if I want to promote this idea, I have to keep getting stronger than them.

Without strength, no one will listen to you.

Finally, with Xiao Yan's efforts, he was able to successfully convince the Xiao family members, including the three elders, and Xiao Yan became the backbone of the Xiao family members.

However, God seemed to be displeased with Xiao Yan's rebellious behavior and his idea of ​​fighting against the rules of the entire continent, so he lost all his fighting spirit three years ago and became the waste he is today.

After Xiao Yan became a waste, the Xiao family members did not return to their disgusting ideas. Instead, they followed the principles they had taught even more.

This made Xiao Yan feel extremely relieved.

My previous efforts were not in vain.

But Xiao Yan never told anyone about his ideas since then.

What trash says will only make people feel impatient and even disgusted.

Xiao Yan was deeply moved that everyone could still recognize his previous ideas after seeing his current state. How could he ask for more?

But Xiao Yan was unwilling in his heart.

He didn't want it to be the Xiao family alone that made the changes.

He hopes that the righteous path he identifies with can be recognized by everyone on this continent, and he wants everyone to know that the world can become a better place.

A gentle world where strength is irrelevant, mutual respect is present, weakness is accepted and acknowledged, and no one will regret being born here.

But to achieve this ideal, qualifications are required.

But Xiao Yan now definitely does not have this qualification.

In the future, it may

"Hey~ kid, are you unwilling?"

？ ！！

The sudden sound interrupted Xiao Yan's thoughts. He turned over abruptly and stood on a big rock, looking at the dark jungle with a frown.

I have never heard that voice before.

In other words, they are definitely not members of the Xiao family, but this is the back mountain of the Xiao family.

"who is it?!"

"I'm a little sad that I wasn't scared at all."

That voice sounded again, and Xiao Yan's heart trembled deeply.

Fear from the soul!

This was something Xiao Yan had never felt before. Even the Yunlan Sect elder Ge Ye who was there today could not reach this level!

The owner of this voice is definitely an unfathomable powerful person!

After understanding this, Xiao Yan actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He clasped his hands together and saluted towards the open space in front of him.

"Junior Xiao Yan, nice to meet you, senior."

“Oh?” Seeing Xiao Yan’s reaction, the voice revealed a hint of surprise, “You have calmed down so quickly, you are not an ordinary kid.”

Facing the surprised and doubtful voice, Xiao Yan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Although Xiao Yan's strength is low, he believes that his intuition is sharp. He can tell your strength just by listening to your voice. Not to mention the Xiao family, even in the entire Wutan City, there is no way to find a strong man as strong as you. No matter how panicked Xiao Yan is, it is meaningless. It is better to be frank and ask you the purpose of your visit with the determination to die."

"Hahaha! Great! No wonder you are respected by everyone in the Xiao family. Even many famous and powerful people cannot achieve this kind of character." The voice laughed loudly, "I wanted to test your character more, but now it seems that I am immature."

Then a white light flashed in front of Xiao Yan, making it impossible for Xiao Yan to open his eyes.

When his vision returned to normal, a translucent shadow had appeared in front of Xiao Yan. It was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, lying at an angle and looking at the astonished Xiao Yan.

She was a woman of extraordinary bearing, with snow-white hair, ruby-like pupils, and an uninhibited and heroic smile on her face.

"Nice to meet you, Xiao Yan~"

The shadowy woman looked at the stunned Xiao Yan and said so.

Chapter 7: Become a disciple of Yao Chen

Xiao Yan believed that he was definitely not the kind of person who coveted beautiful women.

Even if it was Xiao Mei, Xiao Xun'er, or yesterday's Nalan Yanran, or even the beautiful women that Xiao Ning took to Ningchun Tower to see that day, Xiao Yan never had any greed in his heart.

But the phantom woman in front of him made Xiao Yan sigh deeply in his heart for the first time.

How could there be such a flawless woman in this world?

Xiao Yan was stunned for only a moment before he came to his senses, and quickly clasped his hands together and lowered his head.

"I am sorry for the offense! Please forgive me!"

“It’s okay, it’s okay~ This is the reaction you get when you see my man~” The shadowy woman didn’t care about Xiao Yan’s offensive look, she waved her hand and said with a smile: “It’s better to say that if you didn’t have this reaction to me, then I would feel sad~”

It can be heard that the shadow woman is very confident in her appearance, to the point of being narcissistic.

But, this is true!

The appearance of the shadow woman is definitely enough to make her narcissistic!

At this moment, Xiao Yan did not dare to look at the beautiful face of the shadow woman again, for fear that he would fall into it again. He lowered his head and asked respectfully.

"I wonder what is the matter that the senior has appeared before the junior?"

"You are too serious, aren't you? No girl will like you if you keep acting like this~"

The shadowy woman seemed a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yan's respect and joked softly.

However, Xiao Yan responded calmly.

"Etiquette must not be lost."

"."

This left the shadow woman speechless.

It was the first time she had seen Xiao Yan being so rigid, but the key point was that from her previous observations, Xiao Yan didn’t seem to be so rigid?

The shadowy woman thought for a moment and immediately understood why Xiao Yan was so respectful to her.

It seems that he treats us as outsiders.

Although Xiao Yan was not reckless when dealing with acquaintances, he was quite casual.

When dealing with outsiders, Xiao Yan's attitude was always very serious, making it impossible for the other party to find any fault with him.

"Forget it, let's put this aside for now." The shadowy woman shrugged lightly, looked at Xiao Yan and asked: "Do you know where we came from?"

"I dare to guess that you appeared in the ring that Mother Yu left for me."

Xiao Yan answered word by word in a clear voice.

Just now, Xiao Yan keenly noticed that after the phantom woman appeared, the ring hanging around his neck, which was his mother's relic, also exuded the same aura as the phantom woman.

"Your soul strength is pretty good, you can feel this?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, the shadowy woman was really surprised. She didn't believe that Xiao Yan was just guessing casually. He must have felt the aura on the ring and answered like that.

At this moment, the shadowy woman truly became interested in Xiao Yan.

"Then guess why we came out?"

"If my guess is correct, you must have just woken up and chose to appear in front of me when I was alone."

Xiao Yan’s answer stunned the shadowy woman, and she frowned slightly.

"Since you have guessed this, you can probably guess what's happening to you, right?"

"."

This time it was Xiao Yan's turn to remain silent. The shadowy woman did not ask any further questions, but just looked at Xiao Yan quietly.

It’s not that Xiao Yan doesn’t know the answer to this question. It’s precisely because he knows that he can’t say it, because Xiao Yan doesn’t know what kind of person he is.

If I were narrow-minded, then if Xiao Yan told me the answer, it would be an offense to me and blame me, which would most likely cause my dissatisfaction.

Therefore, Xiao Yan could only keep silent.

Such a calm and steady character is truly precious among the powerful people she once knew. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's figure standing there, the shadow woman really couldn't believe that Xiao Yan was just a child who had not yet reached adulthood.

Of course, Xiao Yan could also choose to answer [I don’t know].

But the shadowy woman who had been secretly observing Xiao Yan for many days knew clearly that Xiao Yan would never lie, no matter who he was facing.

This young man not only publicizes the righteous path he believes in, but also strictly abides by it himself.

If even he himself goes against his own righteous path, then this so-called righteous path is a false thing and has no qualification to be believed in.

He did it from the bottom of his heart, wanting to spread the righteousness in his heart.

"Meeting a child like you makes me feel even more guilty."

The shadowy woman sighed deeply. Taking something without permission is called stealing. She had been stealing Xiao Yan's fighting spirit for the past three years. Xiao Yan had every right to blame her and even resent her.

But Xiao Yan didn't, and this was one of the reasons why the shadow woman felt guilty.

In contrast, the shadow woman was more willing to take a chance on Xiao Yan!

"I'm not in the mood to keep you in suspense anymore." The shadowy woman said softly, then she looked at Xiao Yan with a serious expression and said, "Little Xiao Yan, I can help you regain your strength, but in return, I hope you can agree to one condition of mine."

Hearing the words of the shadowy woman, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel excited.

I want to promote my own righteous path, and the basis for promoting the righteous path is strength!

Strength is indispensable!

"Senior, please tell me!"

"Learn to make medicine with us."

!!!

As soon as the shadowy woman finished speaking, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly shook.

Alchemist!

The most honorable profession in the Douqi Continent!

"Senior, are you an alchemist?!"

"That's right~ As for what rank it is, it's been so long that I have forgotten." The shadowy woman shrugged lightly and continued, "Anyway, as long as you agree to learn alchemy from me, I will definitely help you get back to your original strength, and even help you in your future cultivation."

"Are you willing?"

The shadowy woman's question was completely unnecessary.

If the alchemist personally chases you and teaches you the art of alchemy, who would refuse?

Unless that person is crazy!

Immediately, Xiao Yan knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully to the shadowy woman.

"Disciple pays homage to teacher!"

“Well, very good.” Seeing Xiao Yan’s decisiveness, the shadowy woman nodded in satisfaction, and then a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on her face, “But don’t call me teacher, it makes me sound very old.”

Although she is indeed not young anymore, the shadowy woman cannot bear to hear any words related to aging being associated with her, even the honorific title of "teacher".

But this made Xiao Yan feel a little embarrassed.

If not teacher, what should I call you?

The shadowy woman also noticed Xiao Yan's confusion and took the initiative to speak.

"My last name is Yao, and my given name is Chen. You can call me Sister Chen. It sounds younger, and I don't mind honorifics too much."

"This..." Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked anxiously: "Is this too rude?"

"Stop! If you want to learn how to make medicine from us, you have to follow our rules!"

Yao Chen interrupted Xiao Yan immediately. Although she really admired Xiao Yan's respect for his teacher, it was really annoying at times.
