Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Cousin Xiao Yan!"

When Xiao Mei saw Xiao Yan, she immediately rushed towards him excitedly. Xiao Yan did not dodge and looked at his sister lovingly.

"Good morning, Mei'er." Xiao Yan then looked at Xiao Xun'er, "Xun'er too, good morning."

"Well, Brother Xiao Yan, good morning."

Xiao Xun'er smiled and nodded, then Xiao Yan pulled Xiao Mei out of his arms, waved his hand gently and walked away from the two of them.

"I have to go to the meeting hall for something. Please ask for leave for everyone. I have to go shopping today."

"Well~ Brother Xiao Yan, take care~"

Xiao Xun'er smiled and waved to Xiao Yan. Only after Xiao Yan went away did she suddenly react and looked at Xiao Mei suddenly.

"Go shopping?!"

The two women understood each other tacitly and immediately returned to their rooms.

On weekdays, Xiao Yan always stays in the family to train the Xiao family members and rarely hangs out on the streets.

How can we miss such a golden opportunity? !

On this side, Xiao Yan also came to the meeting hall and met with the three elders and Xiao Zhan.

"Father, the three elders."

"Yan'er." Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Yan coming in and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Xiao Yan wants to contribute a fighting skill to the family for the disciples to use."

Xiao Yan held the scroll in his hands, clasped his fists, and spoke solemnly.

In fact, it was not the first time that Xiao Yan contributed fighting skills, but most of them were auxiliary uses of strength and body movements, which were all figured out by Xiao Yan himself when he was training his body. For the children of the Xiao family at this level, they could be of great help, but they would be of no use when they reached a higher level.

Even so, these fighting skills were collected by Xiao Zhan and the three elders into the Xiao family's fighting skills pavilion.

Not to mention that these fighting skills are indeed helpful to the younger generation, they will do it even if what is written on them is nonsense.

The reason is simple, because the person who brought these was Xiao Yan!

"Let me see."

Xiao Zhan extended his hand to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan stepped forward and handed the scroll in his hand to him, and Xiao Zhan immediately began to read.

However, as time slowly passed, Xiao Zhan's expression gradually became solemn, and finally showed a look of horror.

"Patriarch, is there anything wrong with this fighting skill?"

"." Xiao Zhan did not answer, but handed the scroll to the other three elders, "Three elders, please take a look as well."

The three elders took the scroll and opened it to look at it. After a moment, they showed the same solemn expression as Xiao Zhan.

terror!

What a terrifying fighting skill!

Even without practice, the three elders could clearly judge how terrifying this fighting skill called Baji Collapse was.

"Yan'er, where did this fighting skill come from?"

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan and asked in a deep voice.

This Baji Collapse is different from the fighting skills that Xiao Yan had contributed in the past. Even those at the great fighting master level can greatly improve their combat effectiveness after learning it.

No one knows a son better than his father. Although Xiao Zhan has always been very satisfied with Xiao Yan, he absolutely does not think that this fighting skill is something that his son can create.

"Father, I went to the back mountain to meditate last night and ran into a senior. Xiao Yan had a very pleasant conversation with that senior, and the senior gave me this fighting skill."

"This"

Xiao Zhan was a little surprised. He naturally believed what his son said, but he never expected that his son would have such an adventure.

"Yan'er, did that senior tell you what level this fighting skill is?"

Xiao Zhan asked with a frown on his face. Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and lowered his head.

"Son, you can't tell me."

! ! ! ! !

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Zhan and the three elders' expressions suddenly changed again.

It’s not that I don’t know, but that I can’t tell.

This proved that Xiao Yan knew the level of this fighting skill, but had no way to tell them.

There can only be one reason, that is, the level of this fighting skill is definitely a rare treasure in the small city of Wutan!

Once the level of this fighting skill is known to outsiders, it will bring huge trouble to the Xiao family!

"I understand." Xiao Zhan came back to his senses and said softly, "I will discuss with the three elders how to deal with this fighting skill. You can go and do your thing."

"Yes."

Xiao Yan turned and left the meeting hall. Looking at Xiao Yan's departing back, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were speechless for a long time.

Obviously, Xiao Yan had obtained such a rare item, and he could have enjoyed it alone without anyone knowing, but he was willing to donate it to the Gong family disciples for use.

This kind of mind is rare.

"It seems that even if Xiao Yan becomes the clan leader in the future, no one will be dissatisfied."

The three elders made such comments. Xiao Zhan looked at the scroll placed on the table by the three elders and smiled slightly.

"No." Xiao Zhan picked up the scroll and said slowly, "I have a feeling that Yan'er will never be willing to stay in this small Xiao family in Wutan City."

"He will definitely go further in the future!"

Chapter 10 I Am the Right Path

After leaving the Xiao family, Xiao Yan came to the market managed by the Xiao family, wandering around looking for the things listed on Yao Chen's list.

"Twenty years of purple-leafed orchid grass, five years of bone-washing flower"

After wandering around for a while, Xiao Yan bought these two items at a suitable price.

Gold coins, minus nine hundred.

Wow, my savings so far are now reduced by half.

Xiao Yan covered his head with his hands as he had a headache.

There is no need to guess about the remaining first-level wood magic cores. The money he has left is definitely not enough.

(Senior Yao, do all pharmacists spend money like this?)

(What do you think? Let me remind you, these are just the most basic materials. Even if you sell your entire small city of Wutan, you still won’t have enough for the slightly more advanced herbs.)

Yao Chen’s words echoing in his mind left Xiao Yan speechless.

It is said that alchemists are extremely valuable, and today he experienced it firsthand.

Not to mention the qualifications and necessary mentors required for a pharmacist, the cost of materials alone is not something that ordinary people can afford. This shows how much it costs to train a pharmacist.

Turning the topic back, Xiao Yan still frowned.

What to do with the remaining money?

"Leave far away!"

Just when Xiao Yan was at a loss, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the bustling crowd ahead.

Is it Xiao Mei?

And from the sound of it, it seems like he's very angry?

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and he walked past the crowd towards the direction where the sound came from. He found that the place was surrounded by a circle of people. Xiao Yan squeezed in with great effort and saw Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er confronting a young man with a servant.

Seeing the man, Xiao Yan's face darkened slightly.

Galeo is the son of the patriarch of the Galie family, one of the three major families in Wutan City, along with the Xiao family.

"It's a rare opportunity to meet Xun'er today. I wonder if Xun'er would like to go shopping with me?"

Galeo showed a handsome smile and looked at Xiao Xun'er greedily, which made Xiao Xun'er frown in disgust.

After she and Xiao Mei learned that Xiao Yan was going to the street to buy things today, they hurried back to the room to change clothes. After changing, they learned from Xiao Zhan that Xiao Yan had already left, so the two of them hurried to the market.

But with so many people in the market, how could it be so easy to find Xiao Yan?

As a result, before the two of them could find Xiao Yan, they were already entangled by Galeo in front of them.

To be more precise, the only one who was entangled was Xiao Xun'er.

Facing this disgusting man in front of her who made her want to beat him up no matter how she looked at him, Xiao Xun'er really wanted to punch him in the face.

But the other party was the son of the Jialie family after all. Taking action against him would inevitably bring unnecessary trouble to the Xiao family. Xiao Xun'er also didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she forced herself to suppress her inner impulse.

However, although Xiao Xun'er, who was staying here temporarily, had such considerations, Xiao Mei, a native of the family, didn't care so much.

Seeing Galeo's offensive look, his temper flared up immediately and he pointed at Galeo's nose and started scolding him without any hesitation.

"Get lost! You called me Xun'er? Go back and look at yourself in the mirror! Just seeing you makes me sick! You even dare to invite us Xiao family members to go shopping? Pah!"

Well, Xiao Mei's temper and mouth are exactly the same, both of them are explosive, and she scolded Galeo so much that his face turned ugly.

On the contrary, Xiao Xun'er's expression eased a lot, and she even smiled slightly when she saw Galeo's embarrassment.

This smile instantly eased Galeo's ugly expression, and his resentment towards Xiao Mei who had pointed at his nose and scolded him instantly disappeared. When he looked at Xiao Xun'er, his eyes revealed an undisguised possessive desire.

"Don't reject it so quickly~" Galeo took out a bracelet from his arms, "This is the bracelet I just bought specially. It is inlaid with a wood magic core, which is very effective in helping to restore fighting spirit. Xun'er is about to become a fighter. This item is the perfect jewelry to match with you. I hope Xun'er can accept it~"

Galeo's persistent attitude finally made Xiao Xun'er unable to bear it any longer, and a hint of anger appeared on her face, which had just relaxed.

Xiao Mei had never seen anyone who could smile so cheerfully when being scolded by others. She became even angrier and was about to curse Galeo to death again when a figure suddenly stood in front of them.

The person who came was Xiao Yan.

"Cousin Xiao Yan!"

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

When Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er saw Xiao Yan, they both showed joy on their faces. Xiao Yan turned sideways and handed the herbs he had just bought to Xiao Xun'er, asking her to help hold them. Then he faced Galeo, clasped his hands together and spoke solemnly.

"Master Jialie, Xiao's two sisters have clearly expressed their displeasure. I hope you can give up pestering me."

Compared with Xiao Mei's merciless scolding, Xiao Yan's words, although slightly offensive, were also quite polite.

Galeo looked at Xiao Yan who suddenly appeared, his face changing from gloomy to happy, and then he laughed.

"Oh~ I was wondering who it was, isn't this the son of the useless patriarch of the Xiao family?"

"you!!!"

Galeo's words immediately made the two girls behind Xiao Yan angry. Xiao Mei was about to speak when Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to stop her, and Xiao Xun'er was also stopped by Xiao Yan with a sidelong look.

After calming down the two little girls behind him, Xiao Yan looked at Galeo again and responded frankly.

"I will admit the name of waste, but please do not implicate my father, Master Jialie."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan's tone was slightly angry.

He is now a waste, which is an objective fact known to the entire Wutan City, and Xiao Yan will not refute it.

But my own waste has nothing to do with my father.

I can be insulted as a waste, but my father should never be implicated.

Filial piety is the most important virtue, and Xiao Zhan is a father who is absolutely worthy of one's protection and filial piety!

But Galeo snorted coldly and spoke slowly.

"My son is a loser, how can I be good? What's wrong with me scolding him?!"

As soon as Galeo said this, Xiao Yan's aura suddenly changed and his eyes turned cold.

Xiao Yan extremely hated the law of the jungle, so he was unwilling to engage in armed conflict with others.

But at the same time, Xiao Yan knew it better than anyone else.

There are always some people in the world who won’t learn their lesson until they are beaten!

"Galeo." Xiao Yan no longer used honorifics, and looked at Galeo with deep eyes, "I challenge you to a life-and-death duel. Regardless of the consequences, we will just accept our fate!"

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the place suddenly became quiet. The onlookers stood there in a daze, and even Galeo was stunned.
