Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"."

After hearing the mercenary's words, Xiao Yan remained silent.

As far as the facts are concerned, these mercenaries did persecute Xiao Yixiang and Boss Yao.

But they are just helpless.

In this world, how can a group of weak people have the power to say "no" to the strong?

However, although I can understand them, what has been done has been done, and this is an indisputable fact.

What's more, whether to forgive them or not should not be decided by Xiao Yan.

Boss Yao, who was scolding Xiao Yixian in Wanyaozhai, and Xiao Yixian, who was being scolded by Boss Yao, also heard the mercenary's words. They looked at each other, and then Xiao Yixian helped Boss Yao to stand up and came to the door of Wanyaozhai.

Xiao Yan noticed the two people coming out and stepped aside.

When the mercenaries saw the two people coming out, the guilt on their faces became even stronger. They all lowered their heads and dared not look them in the face.

Almost all of them had received help from Little Medical Fairy and Boss Yao, but under the instructions of the powerful, they participated in the persecution of the two.

This fact made them unable to hold their heads up.

After a long time, the mercenaries raised their heads and spoke with some difficulty.

"Boss Yao, Little Doctor Fairy, we..."

"Okay, no need to say anything."

Boss Yao spoke softly, interrupting the mercenaries' speeches.

"You did persecute me and Xian'er, but I also know that you were just forced to do it." Boss Yao glanced at Xiao Yixian and said softly, "If Xian'er is used to threaten me one day, I think I will do the same as you and do things against my will."

This is the helplessness of human beings.

Everyone has different weaknesses, be it death, loved ones, or something else.

But when a strong person holds your weak spot, no matter how unwilling or reluctant you are to do what you are ordered to do, most people will eventually choose to do it.

This is what is called being unable to control one's own behavior.

Chapter 123 I can’t hide it anymore

After listening to what Boss Yao said, Xiao Yixian was silent for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"If something really happens to Boss Yao this time, I will never let any of you go. No matter what means I use, I will make all of you pay the price!"

The Little Medical Fairy's words were extremely cold, like a thorn that pierced deeply into the hearts of every mercenary.

But no one could say anything in rebuttal.

The pain of having an important person taken away forever is unimaginable.

Although Xiao Yixian's words sounded cruel, they were reasonable.

Just when the mercenaries were feeling depressed, Little Medical Fairy spoke again.

Only this time, the words were much gentler.

"That being said, my opinion is the same as Boss Yao's." The Little Medical Fairy said slowly, "If I were in another position, I would probably do the same thing as you, and what I would do would only be more extreme, so logically speaking, I really have no right to despise you for this."

"We are all the same people."

Yes, the same people.

The same weak people, the same ordinary people, the same behaviors will be influenced by external factors, and the same, unable to decide all things for themselves.

"Boss Yao is fine this time, and I am fine too, so there is no need to mention it again."

The Little Medical Fairy said in a serious voice, causing everyone to look up at her in astonishment. Before anyone could speak, the Little Medical Fairy raised a finger and spoke sternly.

"But! Don't think I'll forgive you so easily!"

"You must compensate me for all the losses incurred by Wanyaozhai during this period of closure!"

"Also, because you surrounded Wanyaozhai these days, I had to eat a lot of medicinal herbs in order to survive. I almost emptied the storehouse! You have to compensate me for these too!"

"As for the damage to Wanyaozhai, the furniture and walls corroded by the poison I planted, you must also renovate them all for me!"

"in addition."

Xiao Yixian stood in front of the mercenaries and started talking about a series of compensations. The mercenaries did not show any unhappiness on their faces. They all nodded repeatedly and agreed to whatever Xiao Yixian said.

They don’t ask for anything else now, they just want to be forgiven by the Little Medical Fairy!

Boss Yao and Xiao Yan looked at this scene, and looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness on each other's faces.

Then Xiao Yan stepped forward and helped Boss Yao back to Wanyaozhai to sit down, leaving Xiao Yixian standing at the door to make demands to the mercenaries.

"Xian'er is such a real kid."

Boss Yao sat down and looked at Xiao Yixian's back helplessly, while Xiao Yan smiled softly beside him.

"Anyway, the matter has been resolved satisfactorily."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Boss Yao also responded softly.

"Yes, it's a perfect solution, cough cough cough!!!"

Boss Yao had just said half of his words when he suddenly covered his mouth and started coughing violently, startling Xiao Yan.

"Boss Yao?!"

The little doctor outside the door also heard Boss Yao's cough, and immediately turned around and came to Boss Yao, her eyes full of worry.

"Boss Yao! What's wrong with you?!"

This cough was definitely not just the kind caused by choking or a cold, it was several times more intense than those!

After coughing for a long time, Boss Yao forced himself to stop coughing. His face turned extremely pale and ugly, but he still smiled. He clenched his hand that was covering his mouth slightly, then quietly put it down and chuckled.

"It's okay, it's just that the air in the prison isn't very good and my lungs are a little infected. Don't worry~"

Although Boss Yao tried his best to show that he was fine, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian's faces still did not return to normal.

Because the two of them clearly saw the trace of blood that had not been wiped off the corner of Boss Yao's mouth.

Immediately, Xiao Yixian came to the door and spoke sternly to the mercenaries.

"We'll talk about compensation later! You guys go first!"

After saying that, Xiao Yixian closed the door of Wanyaozhai tightly, came to Boss Yao again, stretched out her hand and forcibly opened Boss Yao's clenched fist, causing Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan's pupils to shrink suddenly.

Boss Yao's palm was already stained red with blood! There was even an ominous black color mixed in the blood!

"Ha, you can't keep it secret anymore." Seeing the truth exposed, Boss Yao smiled bitterly, "If I had known this, it might have been better for me to die in prison."

"Boss Yao! What are you talking about?!"

The Little Medical Fairy suddenly roared in anger. The amount of blood he coughed up was definitely not a minor illness that only occurred in the short term!

"I'll examine you right now! I'll find you some medicine!"

Xiao Yixian turned around and prepared to go to the pharmacy to get something, but Boss Yao reached out and grabbed her wrist. In response to Xiao Yixian's puzzled look, Boss Yao gently shook his head.

"Xian'er, don't waste your energy. I taught you all the medical skills. Besides, I know the condition of my body best."

"But you can't keep it from me forever!"

Little Medical Fairy burst into tears. Xiao Yan, who was standing beside her, frowned and walked forward and spoke softly.

"Boss Yao, please let me see."

After saying this, without waiting for Boss Yao's response, Xiao Yan put one hand on Boss Yao's shoulder and called out to Yao Chen in his heart, asking her to check on Boss Yao's body.

However, when Yao Chen invaded Boss Yao's body with his soul power, his brows were tightly furrowed.

(It’s poison.)

"poison?!"

Xiao Yan asked in surprise, which made Xiao Yixian suddenly stunned. Boss Yao also looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, and then chuckled softly.

"Ah, it's poison. Xiao Yan, you're pretty powerful~"

Boss Yao praised softly, saying that this open-minded attitude did not seem like that of a poisoned person at all.

The stunned Little Doctor Fairy's face suddenly turned pale. She violently shook off Boss Yao's hand and stepped back involuntarily, instinctively moving away from Boss Yao. Her pupils kept trembling and she kept muttering.

"It's me, it's my fault"

"Ok?"

Hearing Little Medical Fairy's murmur, Xiao Yan frowned and looked at her in confusion.

What does it mean?

When Boss Yao saw Xiao Yixiang's expression, he felt deeply sad.

He had been trying his best to hide this matter from Little Medical Fairy, but in the end he failed.

Maybe, as he just said, he should have died in prison.

At least Little Medical Fairy won’t know about this.

But in the end, it was the desire to make sure that Xiao Yixian was safe that kept him alive until the moment Xiao Yan came to rescue him.

Boss Yao wouldn't care if anyone knew about this, but Little Medical Fairy shouldn't know it.

This incident was really too cruel for Xiao Yixiang.

Well. That's fine.

Boss Yao whispered in his heart.

In that case, let's talk it out.

At least before he died, he could entrust Xian'er to a trustworthy person.

"Xiao Yan."

Boss Yao called softly, looking at Xiao Yan.

"Will you listen to me and tell me a story?"

Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

"it is good"

Chapter 124 A Selfish Request Before Death

Yao Sheng is a doctor who travels around the mainland.

I don't have any aspirations. My only dream in this life is to become a pharmacist, but it seems like a distant dream.

But Yao Sheng has a very open-minded personality. He believes that if you can't get it, you can't get it. If that's the case, there's no need to force it. Just live your life in peace.

And one day, Yao Sheng happened to pass by a village, but the scene inside the village made his scalp tingle.

Men, children, old people, women... All the villagers were lying on the ground in a mess. From their white eyes, it could be seen that all of them were dead, and their skin was an ominous purple-black color.

As a doctor with many years of experience, Yao Sheng immediately understood that this was poison.

Could it be the Poison Master? !

Yao Sheng immediately thought of the infamous Izumo Empire next door, where the despicable profession of poison maker was worshipped.

But why would the poison master from the Izumo Empire attack this small village that cannot be found on the map of the Gama Empire?

Even if it is used to test poison, it should be found by cultivators, not these powerless civilians.

With this doubt, Yao Sheng searched from house to house in the village. His doctor's instinct led him to try to find survivors.

One. No.

Not two.

None of the three.

Yao Sheng searched for survivors from house to house, but every time he opened the door, he saw either an empty room or women, infants, and the elderly who had already died. Their skin was black and purple. Without exception, everyone's face revealed the despair, struggle, and pain before death.

Such a tragic scene made Yao Sheng, a doctor, extremely sad. At the same time, he kept cursing the poisoner in his heart, blaming him for being so vicious!

Just when Yao Sheng was about to give up hope, he opened the door of another house and saw a little girl with long lavender hair lying on top of a woman with a dry body and purple and black skin.
