Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Cai Lin was very stunned at that time. She could clearly feel that Yao Chen was extremely angry when he said this, but he was also full of confidence. Such contradictory emotions intertwined made Cai Lin vaguely feel that Yao Chen might know something about the inside story.

So Cai Lin asked again, but Yao Chen kept silent, and Cai Lin's doubts could only remain unanswered.

"Hurry up and wake up, you bastard." Cai Lin gently touched her chin and looked at Xiao Yan's sleeping face with a frown. "I promised Yun Yun that I would protect you. If you can't wake up, how can I explain to her?"

Before coming to Zhongzhou, Cai Lin was extremely confident that as long as he followed Xiao Yan, nothing would happen to him.

However, less than two months after leaving the Black Horn Region, Xiao Yan became like this, which was like an invisible slap in the face to Cai Lin.

If I hadn't let my guard down that day, I would have been able to stop it before it happened.

Whenever she thought of this, Cai Lin felt extremely guilty. At least Xiao Yan's life was not in danger this time, so there was still room for redemption. But what if it happened next time? If she still failed to protect him next time, then what was the point of following him to Zhongzhou?

"Sister Cai Lin!"

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and Zi Yan ran in barefoot.

After a long sleep, Zi Yan finally woke up the day before yesterday, and her body had obvious changes.

His skin became smoother, his physique became stronger, his hair became longer, and his level finally broke through from the Nine-Star Dou Huang to the Dou Zong level.

Unfortunately, the height that Zi Yan had been dreaming about did not grow at all, which caused her to cry for a long time after waking up. It took Han Yue a lot of effort to coax her into peace.

Looking at Zi Yan who rushed in, Cai Lin glanced at her slightly, raised her brows slightly, and recalled the true identity of Zi Yan that was revealed by Feng Qing'er that day.

Taixu Ancient Dragon? I never thought that this child is actually a magical beast of such a level. It is totally impossible to imagine it just by looking at the appearance.

"Xiao Yan is still sleeping?" Zi Yan lay down beside Xiao Yan's bed and poked his face with her finger angrily, "This big lazy pig! You have no shame at all!"

Listening to Zi Yan's accusations against Xiao Yan, Cai Lin's face showed a row of black lines.

You're not much better, are you? Didn't you also sleep almost all the way from the day before yesterday after coming to Zhongzhou?

Cai Lin sighed softly, leaned over the bed, stretched out her hand to Zi Yan, and lifted her up by the back of her collar.

"Okay, stop making trouble here and go find someplace to play."

Just when Cai Lin picked up Zi Yan, she heard a soft moan in her ear, which made her pause suddenly. She turned her head abruptly and saw Xiao Yan's brows trembling slightly. He slowly opened his eyes with a confused look in his eyes.

"Xiao Yan! Are you awake?!"

Cai Lin excitedly put Zi Yan down, supported herself on the bed and put her head close to him.

"Colorful scales."

Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly and looked at the worry in Cai Lin's eyes. Then he struggled to sit up on the bed. Cai Lin quickly reached out to support him.

After sitting up, Xiao Yan covered his face with his hands, his eyes flashing with light, as if he was recalling what happened before.

"What is wrong with me?"

"Before he died that day, Hong Tianxiao suddenly fired a red ray at you. Since then, you have been in a coma. It has been two weeks."

“Two weeks.”

Xiao Yan murmured softly, frowned slightly, and asked in his heart.

(Xiao Yixian, do you know what happened?)

(I don’t know) Xiao Yixian’s voice rang in Xiao Yan’s heart, and it was obvious that she had just woken up. (I just woke up too, and I have no idea what happened in between.)

Hearing Xiao Yixian's answer, Xiao Yan frowned even more tightly. He immersed his soul into his own body and began to check carefully, but found nothing abnormal.

And precisely because there was nothing unusual, it made people feel even more uneasy.

He was in a coma for two weeks, but no one and no problem were found. Nothing seemed right no matter how I thought about it.

What exactly is that red ray shot out by Hong Tianxiao?

Xiao Yan, who was lost in thought, glanced at Cai Lin beside him. Seeing the worry in her eyes, he immediately withdrew his thoughts, and with tenderness in his eyes, he gently stroked her jade hand.

"sorry that I had you worried."

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

Cai Lin's eyes were slightly red. While she felt warm in her heart because of Xiao Yan's words, she warned herself more deeply in her heart.

Absolutely, there will not be a next time.

Xiao Yan is free to do whatever he wants, but I must ensure his safety no matter what and never let my guard down like I did this time!

"Xiao Yanzi, you finally woke up."

At this time, Yao Chen's illusory figure also emerged, and Xiao Yan looked up at her with apology in his eyes.

"Senior Yao, I'm sorry."

"It's good that you woke up. Apologizing doesn't matter."

Yao Chen waved his hand lightly, and Zi Yan on the side finally had the chance to interrupt.

"Xiao Yan! You finally woke up!"

"Zi Yan?" Xiao Yan looked at Zi Yan who was lying on the bed and smiled slightly, "You are awake too."

"Hmm~ I'm not like you, a lazy pig, sleeping for so long."

Zi Yan put her hands on her hips and raised her head with a proud look, but Cai Lin, who couldn't help it, raised his hand and hit her on the head, ruthlessly piercing her pride.

"You just woke up the day before yesterday, right? Why are you being so arrogant?"

"Ugh! Sister Cailin is bullying!"

Zi Yan covered her head with her hands, rubbed her tears in her eyes and looked at Cai Lin aggrievedly, but Cai Lin ignored her at all. Then she remembered something and turned to look at Xiao Yan.

"By the way, Xiao Yan, your friend left a few days ago because of something, and asked me to give this to you."

Cai Lin waved her hand and handed a token to Xiao Yan. After Xiao Yan took it, he was slightly startled when he saw the words "Wind and Thunder" written on it.

"This is?"

"This is the Fenglei Pavilion's token. The girl gave it to you because she thought that if you could catch up, you could take this token and go directly to the Tianshan Blood Pool after you wake up, and take this opportunity to use the Fenglei Pavilion's quota to break through to Dou Zong." Yao Chen said, putting his hands behind his back and shaking his head with some regret. "But unfortunately, it's too late. The Tianshan Blood Pool was closed a few days ago."

"Is it."

After hearing what Yao Chen said, Xiao Yan didn't feel that it was a pity, but he was still quite grateful to Feng Qing'er for giving him the place in Fenglei Pavilion.

At this time Cai Lin frowned and said to Xiao Yan.

"That day after Hong Tianxiao's death, news came that the entire Hong family, including the servants and Shen Yun, were all found dead in the Hong family mansion, and their deaths were extremely tragic."

"Huh?! Who did it?"

Xiao Yan was shocked and Yao Chen also frowned.

"Based on the situation at the scene, it should be Hong Tianxiao himself." Yao Chen said, raising his hand to pinch her beautiful chin, "But according to Han Chi, Hong Tianxiao might have killed other people, but he couldn't have killed Hong Chen. Hong Tianxiao doted on Hong Chen to the extreme, and would never take Hong Chen's life even if he died."

"And according to the aura of Hong Tianxiao that day, there is only one possibility."

Soul Palace!

Xiao Yan's face was gloomy. He remembered that Hong Tianxiao had lost his self-awareness that day, but he still kept asking him to hand over the ancient jade. However, considering Hong Tianxiao's identity, he might not even know what the ancient jade was, let alone have any reason to ask for it.

Therefore, it is only possible that the Soul Palace is behind this!

"As for Hong Tianxiao's sudden surge in strength that day, it should also be an evil magic given by the Soul Palace. According to our speculation, it should be a fighting skill that forcibly absorbs other people's fighting spirit and soul for one's own use. However, it is obviously a completely defective product. Otherwise, Hong Tianxiao would not have been defeated by you so easily despite his strength of a two-star Dou Zun."

".Sure enough, it's just as my sister guessed. Did those guys capture Sister Xiao Yu because of the ancient jade?"

Xiao Yan frowned, it seemed that it was just as Xiao Yi had guessed, the original purpose of the Soul Palace was the ancient jade, but they captured Xiao Yu only because of the wrong order.

Although he felt angry, at the same time, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel another emotion in his heart.

"This kind of big power is really unreliable in some aspects."

Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with helplessness. They could even convey orders incorrectly. Is this really the most powerful force in Zhongzhou?

Yao Chen waved his hand as if it was normal and said.

"That's normal. It's more likely that this problem will occur as the power grows bigger. This is because the differences in understanding between those above and below are so great that even a slight deviation in the orders conveyed can easily lead to misunderstandings."

"."

Xiao Yan remained silent, feeling that the majestic image of those great forces in his heart had collapsed a little.

Even such a powerful force would make such low-level mistakes.

Afterwards, Yao Chen carefully checked Xiao Yan again for safety reasons, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no problem.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan stood up and packed up, then came to the main hall of the Han family accompanied by Cai Lin and Zi Yan. He had been staying here for such a long time, and now that he had woken up, he should also inform them.

After arriving at the main hall, Xiao Yan saw Zi Yun who was eating barbecue and Yao Tianhuo who was drinking from a jar of wine. When they saw Xiao Yan, there was joy in their eyes.

This kid finally woke up.

Han Chi, Han Yue and Han Xue were also sitting in their seats. When Han Yue saw Xiao Yan walk in, a look of surprise immediately appeared in her eyes.

"Xiao Yan! Are you awake?"

"Well, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Xiao Yan responded with a smile. At this moment, he suddenly felt Yao Chen's soul in the ring tremble. Before he could even think of any doubts, a voice came into his ears.

"Mr. Xiao?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the beautiful woman sitting on the other side. She had long black hair, bloodshot eyes, and was wearing a nobleman's outfit. It was undoubtedly Yun Ying.

"Miss Yun?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, Yun Ying looked surprised, then she stood up, waved the folding fan in her hand, and smiled slightly.

"Mr. Xiao and I are really destined to meet. I didn't expect to meet here."

Lies, pure lies.

Yao Chen in the ring frowned tightly, feeling extremely disgusted with the hypocrisy of the woman in front of him.

Yao Chen had no doubt at all. Yunying knew everything about Hong Tianxiao, Xiao Yan's coma, and even Xiao Yan's waking up today. She was even the mastermind behind this series of events.

But now, she pretended to be surprised and unaware. If I hadn't known her true nature in advance, I would probably have been fooled by her.

Many things are like this. Cai Lin couldn't figure out why Hong Tianxiao's strength suddenly increased, and why Xiao Yan was in a coma. All this was because Cai Lin didn't know Yun Ying's identity.

But for Yao Chen, who knew Yunying's true identity, these things were as clear as a mirror.

Han Chi was relieved when he saw Xiao Yan's arrival. Xiao Yan had done a great favor to their family. Thanks to him, the Han family was able to escape disaster. Feng Qing'er of Feng Lei Pavilion also tacitly allowed the Han family to connect with Feng Lei Pavilion because of his relationship. Han Chi was really grateful to Xiao Yan from the bottom of his heart.

If anything happened to Xiao Yan in the Han family, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

When he heard the conversation between Xiao Yan and Yunying at this time, he was suddenly stunned and looked at Yunying and asked.

"Miss Yun, do you know Xiao Yan?"

"Ah~ Mr. Xiao and I are close friends with similar ideals."

Yunying answered with a smile, which made Han Chi slightly startled.

Xiao Yan actually knew Miss Feng Qing'er of Fenglei Pavilion and Miss Yun Ying of the Yun Family? And they all seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Xiao Yan?

The connections this young man has seem to far exceed his expectations.

"Ms. Yun, long time no see."

Xiao Yan also came back to his senses and greeted Yunying with a smile, and Yunying smiled back.

"It's been a long time since we last met. This year, I wanted to go to the Black Horn Region to visit Young Master Xiao, but unfortunately, I was busy with family affairs and couldn't spare the time. I didn't expect to meet him here. This must be the so-called fate."

Fate bullshit!

The corners of Yao Chen's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

This woman really makes up lies without even thinking about it!

"Haha. Fortunately you didn't come."

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly. He had been in the underground world for a whole year, and there were even rumors in the outside world that he was dead. Even if Yunying ran to the Black Horn Region, it would be a wasted trip.

"Although we are here to invite Patriarch Han Chi, since fate has come to this, if Young Master Xiao doesn't mind, would you please go with us?"

"Where?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yunying in confusion. Yunying closed her folding fan, squinted her eyes and answered with a smile.

"This is an auction event led by my family, and we invite celebrities from all walks of life to participate~"
