Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Xiao Yixiang's expression was instantly filled with embarrassment, and she stood there, not knowing how to respond.

Normally, Gu Qinghan would not mention this matter given his personality, but Xiao Yixian and the other two played too crazy last night, and Gu Qinghan did not sleep the whole night.

If it was just lack of sleep, it would be fine. After all, he was a cultivator, and it was nothing to not sleep for one night. The key point was that the incessant screams from next door caused Gu Qinghan to feel mentally exhausted, and then he complained to Xiao Yixiang with resentment in his heart.

Xiao Yan, who walked out with Cao Ying on his back, also heard the conversation between Xiao Yixian and Gu Qinghan. His face was full of embarrassment, and he was muttering to himself, didn’t the boss say that the sound insulation here is very good?

Afterwards, under the teasing gaze of the innkeeper, Xiao Yan carried Cao Ying and the others out of the inn and slowly walked towards the Yun family.

When they arrived at the gate of the Yun family, they saw Hai Bodong from a distance with one hand in his pocket and the other holding an apple, leaning against the wall and eating it leisurely. When he saw Xiao Yan and the other three coming, he raised his hand and waved gently.

"Oh, you're finally here." Hai Bodong bit his apple and looked at Cao Ying, who was carried by Xiao Yan, with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with this girl?"

"Um. I'm not feeling well. Don't worry about it."

Xiao Yan curled his lips in embarrassment. Hai Bodong was confused at first, but then a look of realization appeared in his eyes. He looked at Xiao Yan meaningfully, but did not say much. He turned around and pointed at the Yun family.

"Let's go. It's probably still early now, and there are fewer people here than yesterday."

"Ah."

Hai Bodong walked in front, and Xiao Yan and his group followed behind. On the way, Hai Bodong glanced at Xiao Yan and said softly.

"I heard some incredible news in the tavern last night." Hai Bodong took a bite of an apple and said as he chewed, "It seems there is news about the ancient Bodhi tree. It should appear in the next few years."

"The ancient Bodhi tree?"

Upon hearing this word, Xiao Yan was stunned, as if he had heard someone mention it before when he was helping Little Medical Fairy find the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva.

"I've heard teacher mention it before." Cao Ying on Xiao Yan's back slowly spoke and explained to Xiao Yan: "The ancient Bodhi tree is the most magical ancient tree on the continent. This tree grows once every thousand years, and it matures when it has a hundred rounds."

"According to records, the ancient Bodhi tree has its own wisdom. Only at a specific time will it reappear in the world with the treasures on its body. The Bodhi Body Saliva you held before is one of the treasures of the ancient Bodhi tree. For example, Bodhi seeds can be used to refine top-level elixirs such as Bodhi Pills, and Bodhi Heart can ensure that practitioners break through to the level of Dou Zun and reach the level of Dou Sheng."

"According to rumors, the greatest treasure of the ancient Bodhi tree is enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. The ancient Bodhi tree can help Dou Zun strongmen to hone their Dao heart through reincarnation for hundreds of lifetimes, so that they can see their true nature and finally become Dou Di. Of course, this is just a rumor, and there is no real evidence to prove whether this is true."

After hearing what Cao Ying said, Xiao Yan was suddenly shocked. Doesn’t this mean that as long as he can attain enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, he will have the opportunity to become an emperor?

Just when Xiao Yan was shocked, Gu Qinghan on the side spoke up and poured a basin of cold water on him.

"This rumor is probably a bit exaggerated." Gu Qinghan narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly: "If enlightenment under the tree really gives you a chance to become an emperor, then the people in Zhongzhou would not know about it at all. The eight clans would have blocked the news in advance."

After hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Xiao Yan and the others were silent for a while, and then Xiao Yan asked.

"Gu Qinghan, the eight clans you mentioned are Xun'er's family, right? Can you tell me more about them?"

Xiao Yan had heard the names of the Eight Ancient Clans from the old man from Yingshan before, but the old man from Yingshan did not know more in-depth information, resulting in Xiao Yan only having a vague concept of the Eight Ancient Clans.

And from what Gu Qinghan said, it seems that as long as the eight clans want, they can easily block the entire Zhongzhou's source of information?

Gu Qinghan paused slightly when he heard Xiao Yan's question, then realized that he had been talking too much and raised his hand to refuse.

"Sorry, I said too much. It's better if you don't know about this now."

Xiao Yan frowned, but did not ask any more questions. As long as Gu Qinghan was unwilling to speak, it would be useless for him to ask.

At this time, several people also entered the Yun family compound, and happened to see Yunying in the compound with her back to them, explaining something to the servants.

"These guests must be taken good care of. No mistakes can be made."

"It's Miss, there are guests."

The servant turned his gaze to Xiao Yan. Yunying turned around and looked. After seeing Xiao Yan and his group, she pretended to be stunned, then a smile appeared on her face.

"Mr. Xiao, you are here too?" Yun Ying showed great enthusiasm and strode towards Xiao Yan. "Why didn't you inform us in advance? We can prepare well."

"Miss Yun, there's no need to be so polite. I came here on impulse and I'm sorry to bother you."

Just as Yunying and Xiao Yan were greeting each other, Yun Ling in the corner of the courtyard looked at Yunying's performance and curled her lips in disgust.

This woman is really good at pretending. You knew about this before they came yesterday, right?

Never mind, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

Yun Ling shook her head lightly, smacked her lips, and quietly hid her figure.

On this side, after Xiao Yan and Yunying exchanged greetings, Cao Ying also got off Xiao Yan's back. Then Yunying looked at the Little Medical Fairy and smiled.

"Miss Xiao Yixian, congratulations on your successful resurrection."

"Thanks for caring."

Little Medical Fairy nodded politely, and then Xiao Yan reached out to introduce the other two to Yunying.

"Yunying, this is my wife, Cao Ying, and that is Senior Hai Bodong from the Jia Ma Empire, and my friend Gu Qinghan."

Cao Ying, Hai Bodong and Gu Qinghan all nodded, while Yunying pretended to be a little surprised.

"Madam?" Yunying glanced at Xiao Yixian, "Then Miss Xiao Yixian."

Xiao Yan's expression suddenly became a little awkward, but Little Medical Fairy answered generously.

"This guy now has several wives, including me."

"Oh~~~Is that so." Yun Ying nodded in realization, and looked at the somewhat embarrassed Xiao Yan with a teasing look: "I didn't expect that Master Xiao is such a passionate playboy. If that's the case, why did you reject us then?"

"This is due to some force majeure factors."

Xiao Yan's expression was full of confusion, and then Yun Ying smiled softly.

"Haha~ I won't tease you anymore, Master Xiao. It's been a long time since I last met you, Master Xiao. I want to have a good chat with you."

Hearing Yunying say this, Xiao Yan looked serious and nodded slightly.

"Ms. Yun, I also have something important to discuss with you alone. Can you spare some time?"

"Hmm? Is it something important?" Yunying pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay, I'm not too busy right now, and it's Mr. Xiao's invitation, so I will naturally accept it."

Yunying looked at the servant and gave soft instructions.

"Receive these guests well."

"Yes."

The servant nodded in response, and Xiao Yan also looked at Little Medical Fairy.

"Xiao Yixian, you guys go sit for a while. I'm going to talk to Miss Yun."

"Ah."

Little Medical Fairy nodded, and then watched Yunying lead Xiao Yan slowly into the depths of the courtyard. After watching for a long time, Gu Qinghan couldn't help but lean close to Little Medical Fairy's ear and asked softly.

"Xiao Yixian, that woman is very beautiful, and it seems that she and Xiao Yan get along very well. Aren't you worried?"

Not to mention Gu Qinghan's own discomfort, she did not forget that she stayed with Xiao Yan because of Xun'er's request. The previous matter with Zi Yun was already considered a dereliction of duty, and if another one happened, she really would not be able to explain to Xun'er.

"Well, I'm also confused."

The Little Medical Fairy pondered for a moment and gave such an answer, which made Gu Qinghan slightly stunned. Then the Little Medical Fairy continued.

"Yun Ying and Xiao Yan have known each other for a long time. To be honest, I always thought that something was most likely to happen between them. Their values ​​and personalities are quite compatible." Xiao Yixian looked at the direction where Yun Ying and Xiao Yan left, frowned and said softly, "But I inexplicably feel that something could happen between Xiao Yan and any woman, but not with Yun Ying."

“It’s like two parallel lines, which are moving in sync and are infinitely close to each other, but will never intersect.”

"Ha." Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't quite understand what you are saying."

"It's okay. Even I don't quite understand it."

The little medical fairy shrugged helplessly, and then the servant spoke.

"Four guests, please follow me. I will take you to your seats."

Under the guidance of the servants, Xiao Yixian and the other three followed into the Yun family's reception hall.

On the other side, Yunying brought Xiao Yan to the stone table in her private courtyard and gently extended her hand to Xiao Yan.

"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat."

After Xiao Yan took his seat, Yunying poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yan and herself respectively, then she sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said teasingly.

"So, Mr. Xiao, you are alone with us after not seeing us for a long time. Aren't you worried that your two wives will be jealous?"

"I have a clear conscience, so why should I worry?" Xiao Yan smiled softly, and then said slowly with a serious expression: "Miss Yun, I heard from Little Medical Fairy that your Yun family has sent invitations to almost all the forces in Zhongzhou this time?"

"Yes, the Yun family's reputation in Zhongzhou has grown rapidly in the past two years, and the number of forces invited to come is increasing year by year. I dare not say that all of them this year, but at least nine out of ten Zhongzhou forces have accepted the invitation and come to Baiyu City."

Yunying did not hide anything and said this in a calm tone, not thinking that this was a big deal at all.

"Eight or nine out of ten are forces"

Xiao Yan covered his mouth lightly and murmured quietly, his eyes flickering slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Yunying didn't urge her, but just drank her tea quietly.

After a while, Xiao Yan put down his hand and looked at Yun Ying very seriously.

"Miss Yun, Xiao Yan has an unwelcome request."

"I accept it."

"Forehead"

Before Xiao Yan could finish his words, Yun Ying nodded in agreement, which made Xiao Yan suddenly stunned.

"Ms. Yun, I haven't told you what it is yet."

“No matter what Master Xiao asks us to do, we will do our best to support you.” Yun Ying slowly put down her teacup, her scarlet eyes staring at Xiao Yan, “We already know what kind of person Master Xiao is, and we already regard him as an irreplaceable friend. Since it’s a request from a close friend, why should we refuse?”

Yunying's words were extremely frank and sincere, with the main point being trust, which made Xiao Yan stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

"Miss Yun trusts me so much, which really surprised me." Xiao Yan scratched his hair embarrassedly, and then looked at Yun Ying seriously, "Thank you very much for your trust, but I still want to tell you what I want to do. If Miss Yun is really embarrassed, please refuse frankly, and don't worry about my feelings."

Xiao Yan looked at Yunying with a very sincere expression.

"Miss Yun is not alone after all. If you agree to my request, it is very likely to implicate the entire Yun family. If I make it difficult for you, then it will be my fault. Miss Yun, please refuse if you should. Don't worry about my face."

".Heh." Yunying was silent for a moment, then smiled softly, "Master Xiao is still as considerate of others as always."

Yunying picked up the teacup again and said lightly.

"We have made up our minds. No matter what Young Master Xiao wants to do, we will support him to the end. But since Young Master Xiao has said so, let us listen carefully to what Young Master Xiao wants."

After Yunying finished speaking, Xiao Yan nodded slightly and then took a deep breath.

This was something he had wanted to do before coming to Zhongzhou, but this absurd goal was too far away for him at that time, so Xiao Yan never mentioned it.

But Xiao Yan’s current strength is already enough to reach that ridiculous goal, all he lacks is an opportunity.

This time, the Yun family has gathered all the forces, big and small, here, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Xiao Yan does not want to miss it.

"Miss Yun."

Xiao Yan looked at Yunying and spoke in a clear voice, word by word.

"I want to establish a new order in Zhongzhou."

Chapter 719 Alliance

"Dad! Walk faster!"

On the streets of Baiyu City, Tang Huoer urged Tang Zhen anxiously.

"After we finish here, we will go to Xingyun Pavilion to visit and thank you."

"Hey girl, why are you so anxious? Xingyun Pavilion is not going to run away."

Tang Zhen looked at his anxious daughter with helplessness, and followed his daughter staggering towards the Yun family.

Just as he arrived at the door of the Yun family, Tang Zhen glanced up and saw Feng Xian and Qing Luan who were about to enter the Yun family. He raised his hand and greeted them in a loud voice.

"Pavilion Master Feng Xian!"

"Hmm?" Feng Xian stopped and turned her head slightly to look at Tang Zhen, "Valley Master Tang, you are here too."

"I have received invitations from the Yun family for the past few years, but I have never been able to attend due to Huo'er's hidden illness." Tang Zhen touched Tang Huo'er's head lovingly, and then bowed slightly to Feng Xian, "The Medicine Saint can send her disciples to refine pills for Huo'er and also cure my father's illness. I am extremely grateful."

"Thank you so much."

Tang Huoer, who had been so anxious just now, now lowered her head obediently and expressed her gratitude very sincerely.

After hearing what Tang Zhen said, Feng Xian raised her eyebrows slightly. It turned out that not only Tang Huoer, but even Patriarch Huoyun was treated as well?

Then Feng Xian waved her hand lightly and said lightly.

"No need to thank me, go thank her in person later."

"That's exactly what I meant." Tang Zhen raised his head and replied, "When the Yun family's invitation is over, please allow my father and I to go with you to Xingyun Pavilion. We want to express our gratitude to the Medicine Saint and his disciples in person."
