Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"These boys, it seems they were suppressed a lot in the ancient tribe."

Gu Qinghan is the eldest sister of the younger generation of the Ancient Clan. The following younger brothers and sisters grew up under Gu Qinghan’s watch. She is strict but also caring. It can be said that there is no one in the entire Ancient Clan who hates Gu Qinghan. Hei Yan This is especially true for Jun, who has deeper respect for Gu Qinghan than he does for the Black Annihilation King Gu Lie.

Although Gu Qinghan himself didn't think there was anything wrong with this, perhaps it was because he had been burdened with the respect and expectations of others for a long time that Gu Qinghan felt a little tired without realizing it.

No matter what the situation, no matter what time, you must do what the younger generation of leaders should do, and you must not relax in the slightest.

Just like now, other Black Annihilation troops can temporarily put aside their tasks and relax, but Gu Qinghan cannot. Since she is sitting in this position, since she has everyone's trust, she must not be careless in the slightest. Not only does this Not only because of the invisible gaze of others, but also because of Gu Qinghan's own sense of responsibility that he couldn't put aside.

It is precisely because of empathy that Gu Qinghan cares so much for Xun'er, who is in a similar situation to himself. Although he is much younger than himself, he is burdened with heavier expectations than himself, and he cannot even make the decision freely in his own life. , Gu Qinghan was also the only eldest sister who could talk to Xun'er before she left the ancient tribe.

However, even with his own company, Gu Qinghan could clearly feel the loneliness hidden in Xun'er's heart at that time. He once wanted to relieve her, but he couldn't do it until Xun'er left the ancient tribe.

Just a few years ago, Xun'er came back, and Gu Qinghan could clearly feel the changes in her the moment he saw her again.

Not only is her appearance more beautiful and moving, but more importantly, her heart is no longer as frozen as it once was. Apparently, in these years, some people have melted all the ice in Xun'er's heart.

Although Xun'er didn't say it clearly, it must be the brother Xiao Yan whom she has always been thinking about.

But no matter what, it sounds too ridiculous to say that the dignified eldest lady of the ancient clan rushed to the door of a young master of the Xiao family in Wutan City and waited for him to return. Yes, although Gu Qinghan himself has no objections.

"Really. So tired."

Without any warning, Gu Qinghan suddenly felt a deep fatigue coming from nowhere, and his handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

To be honest, Gu Qinghan also hopes that he can have a chance, a chance to not have to worry about anything, so that he can put aside all pressure and relax as he pleases.

(Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so it shouldn’t matter if I just stroll around, right?)

Gu Qinghan thought this way, but his heart was extremely tangled.

Once a self-disciplined person is used to being self-disciplined, it is a kind of torture to try not to be self-disciplined. This is obviously the case for Gu Qinghan.

"Take a look! The latest jewelry and makeup from Zhongzhou are on sale today! Absolute cost price! First come, first served!"

"Well?"

Hearing the shouts coming from the street, Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows lightly and looked around. He saw that it was a relatively large store. The clerk was standing at the door hard to attract customers. He stood outside and scanned around, and saw what was inside. The bustling customers can clearly feel that the business inside is quite good, and the lively atmosphere makes Gu Qinghan feel a rare pure desire in his heart.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Qinghan finally raised his hand and patted his cheek, as if to cheer himself up and provide psychological counseling.

"Just relax for a while, you should be fine."

Gu Qinghan persuaded himself in this way, and then stepped into the store. He passed one customer after another with his hands behind his back and walked leisurely in the store, admiring the dazzling array of products on the shelves.

Although Gu Qinghan is a woman, due to the high expectations placed on her by her family, she has basically focused all her attention on cultivation since she was a child. Even if she occasionally had free time, she would take care of her younger brothers and sisters. Gu Qinghan has always been concerned about dressing up. Not involved.

There are even only two types of clothes in Gu Qinghan's wardrobe on weekdays, one is a training uniform, and the other is a military uniform worn by most of the Black Annihilation Army. The regular uniform he is wearing now is a piece he bought casually so as not to attract attention. Not even a choice.

However, after shopping for a long time, Gu Qinghan didn't see any products that made him excited. He decided to relax and go shopping, but he didn't meet his favorite products. He was inevitably a little disappointed. He shook his head slightly and was about to leave. Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of a necklace placed in a separate cabinet in the corner of the shop.

The necklace itself does not look very gorgeous, but is extremely simple, but like the Milky Way dotted with stars, it makes people feel its unique charm and temperament, which made Gu Qinghan's eyes shine, and he fell in love with this necklace at a glance.

Gu Qinghan stepped to the display cabinet and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it. He pointed at the necklace and turned to look at the clerk next to him.

"How much does this necklace cost?"

"Oh! This lady has really good eyesight!"

After hearing Gu Qinghan's inquiry and seeing the necklace she was pointing at, the clerk's eyes suddenly brightened, and he rubbed his hands and mask to greet her.

"This is a new product that our shop owner just brought in from the big city in Zhongzhou yesterday. This is the only one, called the Galaxy Pendant. The necklace is not only made of very high-quality fine gold, but also mixed with an extremely rare number of star stones. It is suitable for wearing. It not only adds beauty, but also greatly stabilizes your fighting spirit, making your cultivation smoother! The appearance is also low-key and luxurious, and it will definitely match you!”

The clerk introduced the advantages of this necklace to Gu Qinghan eloquently, and Gu Qinghan liked it more and more.

(It’s okay to buy one to stabilize your fighting spirit and make your practice smoother.)

Gu Qinghan said to herself in her heart. Of course, she had found a reason for herself. Even if it didn't have this effect, she was quite happy to buy this necklace, so she decided in her heart and asked the clerk again.

"What about the price?"

"This young lady seems to be very happy. How about I make my own decision and give you a 20% discount and fifteen million gold coins?"

The clerk said so grandly. Of course, this was just a scene. How could a small clerk like him have the final say on such expensive things? It was all because the store owner had given instructions in advance. As long as it was not less than 13 million, it would be fine. All the money sold was the clerk's commission, and the clerk added two million to the price after careful consideration.

It can even be said that neither the shop owner nor the clerk thought at first that the necklace could be sold. Luoxing City is not a big city, and such expensive jewelry should not be sold normally. It was only because the shop owner had some spare money that he bought it and put it here as a treasure of the store to attract customers.

"Fifteen million"

Gu Qinghan frowned slightly, gently caressed the Najie with his jade hand, and explored it with his spiritual consciousness.

There are 23 million left. Enough is enough.

However, just when Gu Qinghan was about to take out the gold coins, the sense of responsibility in her heart restrained her desire.

Before leaving the family, the Ancient Clan gave Gu Qinghan 300 million gold coins as a budget. To be honest, it was quite difficult for the Ancient Clan to find these 300 million gold coins. After all, the family did not use this Zhongzhou currency at all, so Compared with these gold coins, the additional high-end elixirs that Gu Qinghan brought were several times more valuable.

And the group of people had set out from the ancient tribe for such a long time, and the 300 million gold coins that they had gone around had almost spent. Putting aside the 9,000 in the hands of each person in the Black Annihilation Army, they only had these gold coins in their hands.

Gu Qinghan didn't know how long they would stay here. What if the people of the Black Annihilation Army had any needs in the future, and it would be troublesome if they didn't have enough just because they bought this necklace.

Although it is possible to replace this necklace with high-level elixirs, those elixirs can only be used at critical moments. Gu Qinghan's sense of responsibility really prevents her from doing this kind of willful behavior that ignores the future safety of others for her own selfish desires.

"Forget it, no more."

In the end, Gu Qinghan said such a sentence to the expectant look of the clerk, which made the clerk's face instantly collapse. However, due to his good professionalism, he did not show dissatisfaction and still responded very politely.

"It's really a pity. Then why don't you go around the store and see if there are anything else that suits your liking?"

"no need."

Gu Qinghan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the store, his face showing indifference, but his heart was filled with regret.

I finally saw something I liked and had enough money, but I couldn't buy it because of my sense of responsibility.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

(It seems that I am really not suitable for these things.)

Just as Gu Qinghan was thinking this, a soft voice came into her ears from the place she just left.

"Hello, how much does this necklace cost?"

Well?

Gu Qinghan, who was about to step out of the shop, paused, turned his head slightly, and saw a handsome-looking man standing where he had just stood, pointing to the Milky Way pendant and asking the clerk.

When the clerk who was originally a little disappointed heard the man's inquiry, his eyes shone again, and he introduced the handsome man very eagerly. Gu Qinghan, who was about to leave the store, didn't know why, so he stopped at the door and watched quietly. , there was actually a trace of anxiety and regret in my heart, regretting why I didn't buy it willfully just now.

It can be seen that Gu Qinghan really likes that Galaxy Pendant.

So looking at the handsome man who was quietly listening to the clerk's introduction, Gu Qinghan secretly hoped that the other person would not buy it because it was too expensive, so that he would immediately step forward and buy the necklace.

But at the same time, Gu Qinghan was conflicted and hoped that the handsome man would buy the necklace so that he could completely give up and no longer have to worry about whether to satisfy his own selfish desires.

Amidst Gu Qinghan's contradictory thoughts, the handsome man finally listened to the clerk's introduction and spoke without much hesitation.

"Fifteen million gold coins, right? I bought it."

"Hey! Thank you for your patronage!"

The clerk was overjoyed, but Gu Qinghan felt a little sad inside and was unwilling to continue looking at it, so he left the store completely.

The moment Gu Qinghan left the shop, the handsome man looked at the direction she left and frowned slightly.

Why do powerful men like the Peak Nine-Star Dou Zun appear in Falling Star City?

"Xiao Yan."

A voice interrupted Xiao Yan's thoughts. Xiao Yan came back to his senses, turned around and saw Han Feng walking towards him, and asked with a chuckle.

"Sister, what did you buy?"

"I didn't buy anything, I'm not interested in any of this."

Han Feng responded calmly, and that was indeed the case. Han Feng sincerely felt indifferent to this type of female makeup and jewelry.

Xiao Yan didn't say anything to this, turned to look at the clerk and asked.

"Excuse me, is this the only necklace?"

"Yes, our shop owner only bought one of these Galaxy pendants."

The clerk answered truthfully, which made Xiao Yan's eyes a little disappointed. He was still thinking of buying a few more to give to the Little Medical Fairy and the others as gifts, but now it seemed that he had to find something else.

Although he was disappointed, Xiao Yan still spent money to buy the necklace. Unknowingly, he had already saved a lot of money. This was considered a very rare expense when he had almost no money to spend.

"Thank you for your patronage! Welcome to visit us next time!"

Amid the clerk's joyful smile, Xiao Yan put away the necklace and left the store with Han Feng. Han Feng looked at him and asked softly.

"Do you want to go back to Xingyun Pavilion?"

"I haven't bought all the gifts for the Little Medical Fairy and the others. I want to go shopping again." Xiao Yan said this, and then frowned slightly, "Senior sister, do you feel it?"

"Yeah, I feel it."

Han Feng nodded lightly, his pale golden eyes flashing with light.

After the woman at the peak of Dou Zun left the shop, Xiao Yan and Han Feng used soul detection and found that for some reason, several unidentified Dou Zun appeared in Luo Xing City, ranging from low-level to high-level.

Logically speaking, there should not be so many Dou Zun appearing in the area of ​​Luo Xing City at the same time.

Falling Star City is the city closest to Starfall Pavilion. With so many unknown powerful people suddenly appearing, Xiao Yan and Han Feng have no reason to ignore them.

"Sister, let's go around Luoxing City." Xiao Yan said to Han Feng, and then his black eyes revealed a bit of solemnity, "By the way, while we're walking around, let's take a look at who those people are."

Chapter 656 Xiao Yan fights Gu Qinghan

"Hey! Why do you keep so many fish?"

"If it's a man, just do it in one go!"

"You blew it like that before, but you can't do it considering your drinking capacity."

Xiao Yan and Han Feng hid in the crowd, quietly listening to the noise of several men sitting on the street who drank heavily without paying attention to others.

Just now, Xiao Yan and Han Feng walked around Luo Xing City and basically determined the locations of these heroes in the city. Some were drinking on the street, some were in brothels, and some were sleeping in hotels.

(The lowest is two stars, the highest is eight stars, plus the previous woman, there are a total of twenty-one Dou Zun, and it seems to be the same force.)

Xiao Yan was calculating in his heart and frowned slightly.

The same force has twenty-one Dou Zun, which is almost impossible for any force in Zhongzhou. So far, only Tianming Sect has released so many during its previous attack on Hua Zong.

However, the dead warriors of Tianming Sect are all man-made consumables, which are not the same thing as Dou Zun in the normal sense. Moreover, these Dou Zun do not feel similar death energy on their bodies.

"Senior sister, what do you think?"

Xiao Yan asked Han Feng sideways, and Han Feng's expression remained unchanged and he responded calmly.

"According to my understanding, there should be only one force in the entire Zhongzhou that can bring out so many Dou Zun at once." Han Feng said, with traces of scarlet in his pale golden eyes, his cherry lips slightly opened, and he spoke with a cold The tone of his voice revealed a very hateful name, "Soul Palace."

Upon hearing Han Feng's speculation, Xiao Yan's eyes froze at first, then he thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No, it doesn't feel like it."

Although I could feel the arrogant and domineering atmosphere in these Dou Zun's words, it was far less than the eerie and disgusting dampness of the Soul Palace.

"But no matter what, it's better to be careful." Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, glancing to the side for no reason, and then said to Han Feng: "Senior Sister, you go back to Xingyun Pavilion first, tell Senior Feng Xian to be careful, I will stay here to take care of some things."

Han Feng also clearly noticed Xiao Yan's shifting gaze, but remained calm and nodded lightly.

"I know, be careful."

Han Feng turned around and disappeared into the crowd of pedestrians, disappearing in the blink of an eye, while Xiao Yan walked through the crowd and walked slowly in the opposite direction.

Xiao Yan's walking speed was not very fast, just like a passerby taking a leisurely stroll. There was nothing that made anyone feel wrong. However, if you look carefully, you can find that Xiao Yan is deliberately walking towards the increasingly sparsely populated areas of Luo Xing City.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Yan finally arrived at the corner of Falling Star City. He stopped beside the ten-meter-high city wall and turned his head slightly to look in the direction of an abandoned house behind him.

"There's no one here anymore, come out."

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the visitor no longer hid his footsteps. With the sound of long boots hitting the ground, a cold-faced woman appeared behind Xiao Yan. She was the one who was in the shop earlier. Gu Qinghan, who had a relationship with Xiao Yan.

Gu Qinghan looked at Xiao Yan in front of him and frowned tightly.

Originally depressed because she didn't buy the necklace, she had no intention of continuing to wander around. She planned to go back to her residence to rest, but when she passed by the place where the Black Annihilation Army was having fun, she discovered that Xiao Yan and Han Feng were secretly observing them.

At first, Gu Qinghan was not sure whether the two were observing the Black Annihilation Army, and he had a coincidence in his mind. After all, the Black Annihilation Army had changed into their regular uniforms under his order, and there had been no trouble in the city these days. Things should not be very conspicuous.

However, even if he had such a lucky idea in his heart, Gu Qinghan did not let himself ignore it. He secretly followed Xiao Yan and Han Feng to confirm whether his guess was true.

The final result was obvious. Xiao Yan and Han Feng were indeed as she expected. They crossed several streets to observe the Black Annihilation Army all over Luo Xing City one by one. This made Gu Qinghan's heartstrings immediately tense.

Could it be that our identities have been exposed? What is the purpose of these two people secretly observing the Black Annihilation Army?
