Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 244 Believed

"Um?!"

Yaoyue's question immediately shocked Xiao Yan.

Can it not be exciting?The dignified second princess of the Gama Empire asks you if you want to marry someone else. Who wouldn’t feel excited about this?
But soon, Xiao Yan calmed down, looked at Yaoyue with a calm expression, and answered with respect in his words.

"Thanks to Princess Yaoyue for your appreciation, but now Xiao Yan is just a commoner, how dare he marry the royal family? Moreover, Xiao Yan is still bound by a marriage contract with the Nalan family, so this matter should not be discussed."

Xiao Yan's words were both rejection and truth.

Even though the Xiao family is a big family in Wutan City, compared with the royal family, it is just a commoner with slightly greater power. The gap between the two sides is huge. The current status of the Xiao family is far inferior to that of the Nalan family. Not to mention compared to the royal family.

Not to mention that Xiao Yan is still burdened with an engagement. Although he has made a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran, at least until the end of the three-year agreement, he and Nalan Yanran are nominally an unmarried couple. .

If he affirmed Yaoyue's inquiry in this situation, then where would the Nalan family's face be?Where should Grandpa Nalan put his face?Where to put Nalan Yanran's face?

Her future husband was snatched away by the royal family. Nalan Yanran, the original fiancée, could not come to ask for an explanation. After all, the other party was the royal family.

By that time, there will definitely be bad blood between the Nalan family and the royal family, and how will others view me?After being engaged to the Nalan family, he also made an engagement to the royal family. Is this person's character really okay?
But having said that, although she is young, she is still the second princess of the royal family. It is impossible that she does not know about her marriage contract with the Nalan family. How can she ask this question?
Xiao Yan thought this in his heart, and in order to refuse more confidently, Xiao Yan added another sentence.

"The second princess is still young now. She will definitely meet a man who is much better than me in the future. There is no need to consider marriage now."

"Ah? Who said you're following me?" Yaoyue suddenly interrupted Xiao Yan's words, then covered her mouth slightly and smiled, "It's just the first time for you and me to meet, why do you think you are attracted to me? about you?"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned by Yaoyue's words.

Since you have no intention of me, why are you asking this question?
Just when Xiao Yan was confused, Yaoyue's cold voice reached Xiao Yan's ears again.

"Because this is the first time I heard my sister praise a man so much. If I missed it, she might end up alone in her life because of her personality. So as a sister, I will ask on her behalf."

"This"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel speechless in his heart.

My sister plays matchmaker for my sister, this is really true
"Excuse me, is this what His Highness Yao Ye asked you to ask?"

"How is that possible? Even though my sister has a man-like personality, she might not be as good as me when it comes to relationships." Yaoyue waved her hand lightly, with a hint of disgust in her cold eyes, "Because of this, I, my sister, will ask her for it. If you really have this intention, I believe she will be very happy."

As she said that, the corners of Yaoyue's lips raised slightly.

"As for the affairs of Nalan's family, you don't have to worry. I know that you made a three-year contract with Miss Nalan just because you didn't agree with this marriage. If you really agree with your sister and are willing After accepting the bride-in-law, the royal family will personally come forward to negotiate with the Nalan family."

"."

After listening to Yaoyue's words, Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in his heart.

This second princess is different from the cold and cold person she seems to be. She seems to be acting a little randomly.
Immediately, Xiao Yan clasped his fists with both hands and said solemnly.

"Xiao Yan appreciates Princess Yaoyue's kindness, and Xiao Yan can also deeply feel your concern for His Highness Yaoye." Saying this, Xiao Yan's expression revealed a serious look, "But still, let Xiao Yan The reason for rejection is that firstly, Xiao Yan’s family background is indeed far different from that of the royal family, and secondly, the three-year agreement has been made, and one cannot repent before that. Even if marriage is considered, it must be after the three-year agreement.”

"Furthermore, Xiao Yan himself has not considered marriage yet, so Xiao Yan can only refuse Princess Yaoyue's invitation and ask Princess Yaoyue to accept it."

"Huh~~~"

Xiao Yan's words made Yaoyue frown slightly, muttered for a moment, and narrowed her red eyes slightly.

At least in the Jia Ma Empire, most people would have been so excited that they fainted when they heard that the royal family took the initiative to recruit them into the family, and they would not be able to refuse so firmly.

To be honest, if Xiao Yan is really like this kind of person and accepts his marriage invitation without saying a word after being engaged, then Yaoyue will have to think carefully about whether her sister has seen the wrong person.

Now it seems that my sister's taste is pretty good.

Moreover, although Xiao Yan's refusal attitude was tough, it was also well-founded. He fully listed the reasons for not accepting the invitation. Such clear thoughts were rare given Xiao Yan's identity and age.

Such a person is really suitable to be a member of the royal family.

Yaoyue thought so in her heart, her red eyes flashed, and she smiled slightly.

"Since you are so determined, I won't force it." Princess Yaoyue said, gently spreading her hand, "Then Xiao Yan, can you explain to me your views on your sister? how?"

"She has a courageous personality, can distinguish right from wrong, takes responsibility seriously, and is not afraid of life and death. Her Royal Highness Yao Ye is truly a hero among women. She will definitely become a queen revered by the people in the future."

Xiao Yan truthfully told his opinion about Yao Ye, and Yao Yue was very satisfied after hearing this.

It seems that not only her sister, but also Xiao Yan has a good impression of her. This is a good sign.

Immediately, Yaoyue asked again.

"My sister has always wanted to invite you to a dinner alone to thank you for your previous achievements in the Snake Tribe. Unfortunately, the Snake Tribe is too busy and she really doesn't have time. She will hold a banquet in person when she comes back. I hope you can accept the invitation then.”

What Yaoyue said was a lie.

Yaoye did praise Xiao Yan in front of her, but she never said that she wanted to invite Xiao Yan to a dinner party.

After all, Yaoye also knew about the engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran. Even if she had this idea, she didn't want to make the Nalan family dissatisfied.

Although Yaoye is the eldest princess and has a resolute and bold personality, she is still a woman. It is easy to cause misunderstandings when she invites her fiancé to have dinner alone late at night.

Therefore, even if she wanted to thank Xiao Yan alone, Yaoye would definitely find other ways.

But Yaoyue doesn't care about that much. It's rare for her sister to meet a man who makes her so satisfied. Yaoyue still hopes that the two of them can really cause some misunderstanding at the dinner.

Xiao Yan is the first man that his sister can fall in love with. Yaoyue doesn't want to let her go in vain. If she lets her go, her sister will probably end up alone. She must at least find a way to force her to let him go. My sister, please try your best and stop talking about what is not allowed and what is not allowed. What you say is all about rules and regulations.

You can think about these things later when you become a queen. Don’t worry so much now.

Since you can't take that step yourself, let me, my sister, help you.

"The matter of the snake people is Xiao Yan's own wish, His Highness Yao Ye does not need to worry about it." Xiao Yan said this, and then responded with a smile, "But since it is an invitation from His Highness Yao Ye, Xiao Yan will not refuse it. , but after all, Xiao Yan is just a commoner and does not understand the etiquette of the royal family. If he does something rude at the banquet, please convey it to Princess Yaoyue and hope that His Highness Yaoye can bear with it."

Compared to Yaoyue's thoughts, Xiao Yan didn't think too much about this issue.Objectively speaking, what he did in the Snake Tribe was indeed a great help to the Jiama Empire. It was natural for Yaoye to want to hold a banquet to thank him. If he did not go, it would make Yaoye feel guilty.

Helping others is Xiao Yan's own wish, and Xiao Yan has never expected to get anything in return.

But if the person being helped wants to express gratitude, he should not refuse, otherwise it will make the other person feel uneasy, which is absolutely inappropriate.

"Then it's settled, the royal family will send you an invitation letter when the time comes." Yaoyue smiled slightly, then her face turned solemn, "Now that we've finished talking about personal matters, it's time to talk about business."

Under Xiao Yan's confused gaze, Yaoyue pointed to the high platform in the center of the venue.

"Grandpa has asked you to compete on that high platform."

"Eh?!" Xiao Yan was suddenly startled, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Princess Yaoyue, Xiao Yan thinks that he is not yet proficient in refining medicine, and I am afraid he is not qualified."

“Humility is a good thing, but being too modest is underestimating oneself.”

Yaoyue interrupted Xiao Yan and looked at the alchemists in the venue who were preparing for the competition.

"You have to know that the alchemists who come to the Alchemist Conference are basically just first- and second-level alchemists. After all, the age limit is there. Alchemy requires not only talent, but also a considerable degree of Financial resources, these two points are enough to hinder most people from refining medicine."

"And you are now able to become a third-grade alchemist before you reach the age of . You are enough to be called a leader. There is no need to be so humble."

Yaoyue paused and continued.

"My great-grandpa said that I hope you can be remembered by the audience as much as possible. The purpose is to prepare for a big event in the future. Although my great-grandfather didn't tell me what it was, I think it should be related to Yunlan Sect."

In terms of state affairs, the second princess Yaoyue is actually much smarter than the eldest princess Yaoye, but after all, the eldest princess is Yaoye, plus Jia Xingtian dotes on Yaoyue more than Yaoye, which makes the Jiama Empire Yaoyue doesn't know many things and doesn't want Yaoyue to get involved in these things.

But just because she didn't know, it didn't mean that Yaoyue couldn't guess.

Whether it was the Snake Tribe or the Mo Family, all the actions of the royal family during this period were aimed at the Yunlan Sect, and at this juncture, Xingtian ordered Xiao Yan like this, and Yaoyue could not think of any other reason besides the Yunlan Sect.

"Xiao Yan, what Grandpa needs is for you to make your [name] known at the Alchemist Conference as much as possible."

"Although this week, you have gained quite a reputation in the Holy City of Jiama because of your help to the aborigines of Chisha City."

"But that's still far from enough."

"[Name] may be a burden at certain times, but most of the time, [Name] is definitely very important."

"So Xiao Yan, please feel free and bold to believe in yourself, just like my great grandfather believes in you. He really comes from the bottom of his heart and believes that you can meet his expectations."

Yaoyue's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Maybe you think I'm kidnapping you by using the word [believe]."

"This is indeed the case."

“But I think [believing] is a really great thing.”

“Both he who believes and he who is believed.”

"Grandpa, he really believes from the bottom of his heart that this matter must be done by you."

When Xiao Yan was in a daze, Yaoyue gently lowered her head to him.

Sincerely, every word.

"This is my personal, selfish request."

"I hope you can respond to my great-grandfather's trust wholeheartedly."

"please."

Looking at the second princess of the empire who lowered her head to plead with him, Xiao Yan froze on the spot and could not recover for a long time.

After a long time, Xiao Yan looked serious and responded to Yaoyue Zhengsheng.

"Jia Lao trusts Xiao Yan so much, Xiao Yan will definitely do his best."

After receiving Xiao Yan's response, Yaoyue raised her head and smiled at Xiao Yan.

"Then, please." Yaoyue turned around and walked towards the venue, glancing sideways at Xiao Yan, "By the way, I will also stand on the high platform with you, we will be opponents soon."

Looking at Yaoyue's back, Xiao Yan stood up slowly, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

His father and family elders trusted him and allowed him to lead the family's children to practice with confidence.

The children of the family also trust him and abide by his training without any complaints.

It was precisely because Boss Yao trusted him that he trusted the little medical fairy to him with peace of mind.

There is also the leader of the snake people who entrusted the colorful snake to him, Nalan Jie who believed that he could give Nalan Yanran happiness but refused to terminate the engagement, and Jiaxing Tian who believed that he could achieve his goal.

After listening to what Yaoyue said just now, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that he had unconsciously accepted the trust of many people.

(Senior Yao.) Xiao Yan called softly from the bottom of his heart, (You too, do you believe me?)
(certainly.)
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Shen answered without hesitation and his tone was extremely soft.

(But this does not mean that I believe that you can definitely help us resurrect. No one can predict what will happen in the future.)
(But we believe from the bottom of our hearts that you will do your best to resurrect me. This is enough for us.)
(Given Xingtian’s trust in you, it must be the same.)
(No matter what the result is, he believes that you can try your best to achieve your goals as much as possible.)
The sound of the medicine sinking echoed in Xiao Yan's heart.

(Xiao Yanzi, that little girl just said it is right. It is really a great thing to be believed by someone, not to mention that so far, you have been believed by many people from the bottom of their hearts.)
(If you can make everyone believe in who you are as a person, your determination to change the world, and your ability to change the world, then your right path will definitely be achieved.)
After listening to Yao Shen's words, Xiao Yan revealed a slight smile on his lips and whispered.

"Disciple, please keep this in mind."

There was no longer any hesitation in Xiao Yan's heart. He rolled up his sleeves and strode towards the high platform in the center of the venue. The expression on his face revealed a sky-high arrogance.

"Then now, this disciple must spare no effort to respond to Jia Lao's trust!"
