Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

But without exception, they all really fell in love with Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan was the infamous Soul Palace and his ilk, they would have stayed away long ago and would never be involved with him.

Looking at Xiao Yan who was surrounded by everyone, Yao Tianhuo tilted his face and smiled helplessly, with admiration in his eyes.

"I've felt it before, Xiao Yan is really weird." Yao Tianhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Obviously what he did was to bully the small, but he handled it in such a way that no one was dissatisfied. , but strive to make friends with them.”

"Isn't this natural? Xiao Yan has given them compensation pills."

Cao Ying said matter-of-factly with her hands behind her back, but Yao Tianhuo looked at her with a smile.

"Really? Girl Cao Ying, let me ask you, if you are eating in a restaurant and haven't used your chopsticks yet, someone suddenly comes, takes your meal away, and then throws you a bag of gold coins and gives it to you arrogantly. Would you be happy if you gave him your food?"

"Of course I'm not happy about this! You take my food away without my consent, and then you condescendingly throw money at me. What's the difference between this and charity?"

Just thinking about it for a moment made Cao Ying feel angry. She didn't lack the money, but the key point was that the person taking away the meal was tantamount to trampling his own dignity to the ground. Who would be happy with this?

"Well?"

Cao Ying suddenly frowned, as if she understood something, and Yao Tianhuo also smiled.

"What you were thinking just now was the same as that of the person who took away your meal. It's not like he didn't give you money. Why are you angry?" Yao Tianhuo looked at Xiao Yan who was surrounded and said softly: "I'm angry because that person doesn't care. What makes you angry is that the person ignores your dignity, and strangely, everyone hates this kind of behavior, but when you gain strength, you will always do such disgusting things. "

"But Xiao Yan is different. No matter how powerful he is, no matter how successful he is, no matter who the other party is, he will always care about the dignity and face of the other party when he speaks and acts. This is simple to say, but in practice, I'm afraid There are not many people who can achieve such an almost perfect level as Xiao Yan."

"For example, in this matter, Xiao Yan can't achieve this effect by compensating the other party. It's because of his words that those powerful people feel from the bottom of their hearts that Xiao Yan is a person worthy of close friendship. ”

Yao Tianhuo's words made Cao Ying silent. She stared at Xiao Yan who was surrounded by her deep eyes. She felt ashamed in her heart, but she was proud of Xiao Yan.

At this moment, an inappropriate sound suddenly sounded from the sky, disrupting the harmonious atmosphere of the scene.

"Haha~ Weak people gather together in groups, it's really hard to see."

These words that must have sounded arrogant to Xiao Yan made everyone frown. Xiao Yan also raised his head and looked at the handsome man slowly descending in the air surrounded by two old men. Feeling the strength of the man, Xiao Yan frowned. Can't help but pick lightly.

The Nine-Rank Dou Zun is at his peak, and the two old men beside him are even more terrifying. They are both at the advanced semi-saint level!

What shocked Xiao Yan even more was that he felt an extremely familiar aura from these three people.

"Celestial Demon Phoenix Clan?"

Xiao Yan blurted out, and the handsome man did not hide it, looking down at Xiao Yan proudly.

"Exactly, I am the young leader of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Jiu Feng, and I have come here specifically to take away the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit." Jiu Feng looked at Xiao Yan with disdain and said in a stern voice: "If you know what you are looking for, just take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit." Hand over the source fruit, I don’t want to do anything to bully the small ones, so as not to ruin my reputation.”

Jiufeng's indifferent remarks made everyone very dissatisfied, especially when compared with Xiao Yan, their disgust was rising even more, and their attitude towards others was simply changing.

On the contrary, Xiao Yan didn't care about Jiufeng's arrogance, but slightly frowned in thought.

(Qing'er is the daughter of the clan leader of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, and the man in front of her claims to be the young clan leader of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan. So he is Qing'er's brother? Brother-in-law?)

Xiao Yan's expression was slightly distorted. Although he knew that sooner or later he would have to meet Feng Qing'er's family members except Fenghuang, he was not ready at all.

Then Xiao Yan came back to his senses, turned his thoughts back for a moment, waved his hand and gently asked the people around to disperse, then looked up at Jiufeng and said solemnly, cupping his fists.

"Uncle. No, Young Master Jiufeng, according to the rules here, as long as you defeat Xiao, you can naturally take away the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit. If you take it by force without going through a competition, I'm afraid everyone will be dissatisfied. , please respect yourself.”

Xiao Yan's neither humble nor arrogant speech made Jiufeng frown in displeasure and snort coldly.

"Hmph! As a human, what's the use of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit?"

Jiufeng raised his hand and threw a scroll directly to Xiao Yan. After Xiao Yan took it, he could see the words on it clearly.

An advanced earth-level fighting skill, the Sky-Tearing Claw.

"I am not an unreasonable person. The value of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to you humans is not great. It is enough to exchange for a high-level earth-level fighting skill." Jiu Feng raised his head slightly arrogantly, very leisurely and contentedly. "If you are wise, please hurry up and present the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. If I am in a good mood, I may even reward you with something. Hmm?"

Jiufeng suddenly raised his hand and grasped it, realizing that it was the fighting skill he had just thrown to Xiao Yan, and the latter's voice slowly flowed into his ears.

"Chief Jiu Feng, please take this scroll back. Xiao is not qualified to accept the transaction." Xiao Yan paused and pointed to the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit above his head, "According to the rules, this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is temporarily unavailable. It is still an ownerless thing. If Young Master Jiufeng needs it, he only needs to win over Xiao."

Jiufeng looked at Xiao Yan, silent for a while, and then lightly tapped his finger at the old man next to him.

"Bring that thing out to me."

I don't know if it was Xiao Yan's misunderstanding. After Jiufeng gave this order, the old man seemed to have a little helplessness on his face, but he still obediently took out a super large scroll from the space and tossed it gently. Go up to the sky and unfold it, presenting a portrait in front of everyone.

It was a little girl who looked to be about three or four years old. She was pink and jade, with big bright eyes and a finger in her mouth. She was really cute.

Xiao Yan didn't know what Jiufeng was doing when he suddenly took out the portrait, but Xiao Yan stared at the portrait for a long time, and a big question mark popped up in his mind.

This little girl might be Feng Qing'er?

Chapter 707 The reason why Feng Qinger didn't want to go home

This should be Feng Qing'er, right?

Cao Ying raised her eyebrows in confusion. Although her age was much different from the Feng Qing'er she knew, she could roughly tell that the portrait was of Feng Qing'er when she was a child.

But the question now is, why did Jiufeng take out Feng Qing'er's portrait?

Xiao Yan also had the same doubts, and Jiufeng raised his finger to point to the portrait above and asked Xiao Yan for no reason.

"Do you know who this is?"

"."

Xiao Yan's expression was a little unnatural. After hesitating for a while, he was about to speak. Jiufeng's eyes suddenly lit up and he spoke loudly.

"She is Qing'er, my super invincible, world-class and lovely sister!"

Jiufeng's very proud voice spread throughout a hundred miles. Not to mention the people surrounding the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, even the people surrounding the other treasures turned their attention and stared blankly. Looking at Jiufeng in mid-air, everyone suddenly asked the same question.

What is this man doing?

Xiao Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and asked softly after a moment of silence.

"and then?"

Unexpectedly, Jiufeng completely ignored him and turned around to look at his sister's portrait with pity.

"When Qing'er was first born, I swore as an elder brother that I would protect her no matter what."

"When Qing'er was still young, her mother died at the hands of that bastard Taixu Ancient Dragon. Since then, I have sworn again that I will leave all the best things to Qing'er, and I will never It will make her feel a little frustrated and aggrieved in her life. As long as Qing'er wants to, I will be willing to give up my position as the young patriarch. "

Jiufeng said, turning his head suddenly and looking down at Xiao Yan firmly.

"So for Qing'er, the dragon and phoenix original fruit have to be determined, and no one can stop it!"

Listening to Jiufeng's extraordinarily firm words, everyone understood that he was indeed a good brother. Everyone couldn't help but feel touched in their hearts, and at the same time, the same question arose in their hearts again.

And this question was asked by Xiao Yan.

"So. What do you want to do by taking out the portrait of her when she was a child?"

Xiao Yan was very happy to see Feng Qing'er's cute appearance as a child, but when he thought about how his childhood appearance was casually exposed to the public, Feng Qing'er must not be very happy.

More importantly, Xiao Yan didn't understand why Jiufeng took out the portrait. What he just said could be said without the portrait, right?

When Jiu Feng heard Xiao Yan's rhetorical question, she looked incredulous and pointed at Feng Qing'er's portrait and asked in shock.

"No?! Don't you feel pity when you see Qing'er's pitiful and delicate appearance? Don't you have the thought of respectfully offering the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit to her?"

"."

Xiao Yan was speechless, not knowing what he was talking about, while Jiu Feng reacted after being stunned for a while, with a forced smile on his lips.

"Haha. I don't blame you. This is just a portrait. It cannot perfectly present Qing'er's cuteness to others. It's normal for you not to be moved."

After saying that, Jiufeng gestured to the old man behind him again. The old man looked embarrassed and couldn't help but comfort him.

"Young patriarch, it's better to say goodbye, in case the young lady knows about it"

"The man in front of me can't understand Qing'er's cuteness. How can I be willing to do so?!" Jiufeng turned around and glared at him angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry and present them all!"

".yes."

The old man finally let out a helpless sigh, and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.

Don't you deserve to spend all day complaining in the family that the young lady doesn't come home often?

But he had no choice but to let him be the young patriarch. After all, the old man reluctantly took out the portraits one after another, spread them out in mid-air, ranging from the appearance of a newborn baby to the top. The young girls from thirteen to fourteen years old are without exception Feng Qing'er's portraits of all ages.

Then under the stunned gazes of everyone, Jiufeng began to introduce one by one along the first portrait.

"Look, this is what Qing'er looks like just six months after he was born. As for why he is in human form, you civilians don't have to wonder. Our clan has a secret method for newborns to transform directly! This is not the point, the point is to show you Show the cuteness of Qing'er in this period!"

"This is when Qing'er was one year old. At this time, she had just learned to walk. Look at her little feet stepping on the ground carefully step by step. She is so cute and nimble!"

"This was drawn when Qing'er was three years old. At this time, she was the most attached to my brother. Every day she calls "big brother" and "big brother" short, which makes my heart melt~"

"This is Qing'er six years old."

Jiufeng actually started explaining each portrait one by one in front of everyone, which made everyone's minds buzz.

no? Aren't we competing for the treasures of the ruins? What is this man doing? Why did he suddenly start talking?

Compared to the astonishment of others, Xiao Yan listened with interest, followed Jiufeng's explanation carefully and looked at the portraits one by one.

How should I put it? Xiao Yan was actually very happy to see the growth of Feng Qing'er, so he didn't disturb Jiu Feng's talk. He even thought about whether he could ask for these portraits. .

"Then this is a portrait of Qing'er when she was eighteen years old. My lovely sister finally grew into a tall and graceful girl. But unfortunately, Qing'er didn't return to the family very much from then on. She wouldn't let me go find her. I have no chance of painting a new portrait of her.”

Jiufeng pointed to the last portrait and said so, with regrets in his eyes that could not be wiped away.

At this time, Cao Ying came close to Gu Qinghan's ear and whispered.

"If I had such a brother in my family, I wouldn't want to go back."

"really."

Gu Qinghan nodded with black lines in his eyes. It's probably not the first time that Jiufeng in front of him has done something like this, showing off his sister's portrait in front of strangers. Just thinking about it makes people feel... Aversion to cold.

It's okay for a girl to control her, but it's a bit disgusting for a girl to control her so much that she doesn't even try to cover it up.

After Jiufeng finished the introduction, he raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Yan and asked Zheng Sheng.

"How is it? Do you understand Qing'er's cuteness now?!"

"I understand, I understand very much." Xiao Yan replied with a serious look on his face, "I think she is very cute, and I sincerely regret that I did not see these lovely moments of hers with my own eyes."

There is no doubt that Xiao Yan's words were absolutely from the heart, without any falsehood, which made Jiu Feng a little stunned. His eyes were shining with golden light, as if he had found a confidant.

"Very good! Boy, you are very much to my liking!" Jiu Feng flashed and landed in front of Xiao Yan, looking him straight in the face and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xiao Yan, please give me some advice."

Xiao Yan clasped his fists and said his name solemnly. Jiufeng also looked Xiao Yan up and down and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I can see that you sincerely agree with Qing'er's cuteness. This is indeed worthy of praise." Jiufeng's eyes became proud again as he said that, "But don't get me wrong. Qing'er's future husband must be hard to find in this life. He who can You are a genius who has left your mark on the entire continent. Don’t think that I will give you a chance to meet Qing’er just by saying a few words of praise. You are not worthy of it.”

Jiufeng's words were very offending, causing the black lines on other people's faces to deepen.

no? Then why are you introducing such a large amount of dry yarn?

Moreover, no one knew whether Jiufeng was narcissistic or not. Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but you were the first to judge. It wasn't certain whether they wanted to know your sister or not.

When everyone was speechless, Xiao Yan looked serious and spoke word by word in a deep voice.

"Young Patriarch Jiufeng is right. With my current ability, I am indeed not worthy of your sister." Xiao Yan paused, and then spoke with incomparable firmness, "But I promise you, I will definitely do it." Become a man worthy of her, so that no one can give any reason to object!"

Ok?

After hearing Xiao Yan's bold words, a question mark appeared on Jiufeng's head.

Why does Xiao Yan's words sound weird? It felt as if he had known his sister for a long time.

However, Xiao Yan admitted so simply that he was not worthy of Feng Qing'er, which made Jiu Feng quite fond of this human man. He raised his hand and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder.

"Boy, although I don't have a good impression of human beings, you are an exception." After saying that, Jiufeng retracted his hand and took a few steps back. He held one hand behind his back and stretched out the other hand gently towards Xiao Yan. "Young Master, please pay attention. According to the regulations, as long as you win the battle, you can take away the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, right?"

"For the sake of making me happy, I won't be able to rob you by force. I will win you openly and take away the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit in a fair and just way."

"Be honored, human."

Jiufeng's posture was high, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, as if he had given Xiao Yan a great gift.

Xiao Yan didn't show any anger at all, he cupped his fists and saluted, responding in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"In that case, Xiao Yan naturally agrees." Then Xiao Yan paused and asked softly: "Chief Jiu Feng, may I have the audacity to make a request?"

"Yes, I have a good feeling about you. As long as I can do it, feel free to ask for it."

Jiufeng waved his hand proudly, and Xiao Yan continued.

"If Xiao Yan wins this battle, can you give me all your sister's portraits?"

There is no way, Xiao Yan is really greedy for those portraits. If they are of a strange woman, then Xiao Yan doesn't care, but those are his wife's growth portrait series, how could he not want them?
