Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 310 Because I Want To
In the early morning, a new day begins, and the sun shines through the windows at the south corner of Black Silver City. This is the only opportunity for Xiao Yan to feel the sunshine in the house he rented in a day.

"Haha~~~"

After the routine morning wash, Xiao Yan yawned and went downstairs, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but he saw the figure of the little medical fairy already busy in front of the stove.

"Good morning, little medical fairy."

Xiao Yan greeted the little medical fairy with a smile, and the little medical fairy glanced slightly sideways.

"Good morning." The little medical fairy looked at the cauldron in front of her again and said softly: "Breakfast is almost ready. Go and wake everyone up for breakfast."

"Ah."

Xiao Yan turned around and went upstairs again. He happened to meet Feng Qing'er coming downstairs and greeted her softly.

"Feng Qing'er, good morning."

"Ah."

Feng Qing'er groaned softly, and Xiao Yan asked with a slight smile.

"How's the room? Are you still used to sleeping?"

"It's good, at least it's much better than laying the floor."

Feng Qing'er said this, referring to the hotel the day before yesterday that didn't even have a bed. Xiao Yan smiled and gently stepped aside to get out of the way.

"Go down first. Breakfast is almost ready. I'll get the children up."

Feng Qing'er nodded and passed Xiao Yan to the first floor. Xiao Yan first went up to the third floor and called the two brothers Lu Qiong and Lu Jing. Seeing the two of them rubbing their sleepy eyes, Xiao Yan couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth. smile.

Looks like you slept well~
This is of course. The bed in this room was just padded with some rags before. Basically, you slept on a hard bed board, without even pillows and quilts. The bedding and beds that Xiao Yan bought yesterday have greatly improved these two things. Your child’s sleep quality.

As for the gold coins placed on the table in Lu Qiong and Lu Jing's room, the little medical fairy first collected them with the consent of the two. After all, there were more than 30 bags of gold coins. Not to mention taking up space on the table, it felt awkward. Quite unsafe.

Xiao Yan gently pushed Lu Qiong and Lu Jing to the cubicle to wash up. After washing, he took them downstairs and went to the room of brother and sister Wen Xing and Liu Yiyi.

Xiao Yan gently pushed the door open and entered, only to find that the two of them had already gotten up and put on their clothes.

Wen Xing was instinctively startled when he saw the door being pushed open suddenly, and then relaxed, while Liu Yiyi hid behind Wen Xing in fear.

After all, Liu Yiyi was in a coma yesterday and didn't know anything from the beginning to the end. Xiao Yan was just a stranger she met for the first time, so it was normal to feel scared.

"Yiyi, don't be afraid. This is the big brother who helped us yesterday. Thank you."

Wen Xing turned sideways slightly and comforted his sister softly. Liu Yiyi timidly poked her head out from behind Xiao Yan and nodded lightly.

"Thank you, thank you big brother"

After saying that, Liu Yiyi hid behind Wen Xing again like a frightened rabbit. This suddenly reminded Xiao Yan of the scene when he saw Qinglin for the first time. At that time, Qinglin was like Liu Yiyi. Shy.

But compared with Liu Yiyi, Qinglin is much luckier because Xiao Ling takes care of her.

But, well
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wen Xing, his eyes full of tenderness.

Even though there is a huge difference in strength and status, the sense of security that Wen Xing gives Liu Yiyi is almost the same as the sense of security that Xiao Ling gives to Qing Lin.

Xiao Yan smiled softly and waved to the two of them.

"Let's go and wash your face, I want to have breakfast~"

Seeing that Wen Xing wanted to say something else, Xiao Yan spoke first before he could say anything.

"Even if you feel embarrassed, your sister hasn't eaten anything all night. She must be very hungry now, right?"

Xiao Yan's words made Wen Xing swallow his words directly back into his stomach.

He didn't have to eat, but he couldn't let his sister starve just to maintain his little dignity. This was something Wen Xing couldn't accept.

Whether it is Liu Yiyi or the other younger brothers and sisters, Wen Xing's heart is far more important than his own life, not to mention the almost useless dignity.

Xiao Yan led the two of them to wash up, took the four children downstairs, and led the children to the living room.

Feng Qing'er and the Little Medical Fairy were already waiting at the table, which was also filled with porridge that matched the number of people.

Only then did Xiao Yan discover a problem.

The table is a bit too small.

The table could seat six people at best, but now it's seven.

(Let’s go back and find another table.)
Xiao Yan pressed his neck. He didn't mind standing up to eat, but there would be other children coming in the future, so the table would definitely not be enough.

"Xiao Yiyi, how are you feeling?"

Seeing the little medical fairy looking at Liu Yiyi and asking with concern, Liu Yiyi was inexplicably not afraid of the big sister in front of her, so she nodded lightly and whispered.

"Yeah, it's okay, thank you, big sister."

"Yes, that's good." The little medical fairy felt a little more relaxed, clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Everyone, let's have breakfast, be careful not to burn it~"

Immediately, the little medical fairy looked at Xiao Yan standing at the table and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Xiao Yan, chair"

"It doesn't matter, I can eat standing up." Xiao Yan chuckled, "I will change the table later and buy some chairs."

When Wen Xing heard the conversation between the two, he also realized that there were not enough chairs. He had just sat down and wanted to jump down.

Xiao Yan has given too much to himself.

Yesterday, he helped himself a lot. He gave himself yuan for nothing, and he also helped his sister treat her illness and let the two of them stay overnight. But now, because of the arrival of himself and his sister, he didn't even have a place to sit and eat.

However, before he could make any move, Xiao Yan, who was aware of it, took the first step and held his shoulders, saying softly.

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak. Just eat in peace."

"."

Wen Xing looked at Xiao Yan who was standing at the table, picking up a bowl and drinking porridge. After a long silence, he also started to eat breakfast like the others.

Although it is just white porridge, it is still a pretty good breakfast. Xiao Yan, Little Medical Fairy and Feng Qing'er are all cultivators, and they care too much about how rich the food is. What's more, this is breakfast, as long as they can eat it.

Not to mention the remaining two brothers and sisters Wen Xing and Lu Qiong. For these wild children who have eaten one meal but not another, white porridge is really a very luxurious food, and naturally there will be no trace of it. Picky.

After the meal, the little medical fairy stood up and cleared the table, while Wen Xing pulled his sister and jumped off the chair, came to Xiao Yan and lowered his head solemnly.

"Thank you very much for your help, and the three gold coins from yesterday. I will find a way to return it to you."

As Wen Xing said this, Liu Yiyi on the side also imitated her brother and lowered her head timidly.

Xiao Yan looked at him with warmth as he lowered his head to him. After a while, he squatted down slightly and looked at him levelly.

"Are you taking your sister back?"

"Well, there are younger brothers and sisters waiting at home. They will be worried if we don't go back soon."

Wen Xing nodded, Xiao Yan paused and said softly.

"Do you want to stay here with your sister?"

"Forehead?!"

Xiao Yan's words made Wen Xing's shoulders tremble slightly.

It's impossible to say that he doesn't want to stay here.

Not to mention other things, a house to protect them from wind and rain, bedding to keep out wind and cold, and plain porridge that they couldn't eat on weekdays. In less than half a day, Wen Xing and his sister enjoyed a life that was unimaginable before.

Even though this is just the life of a normal family, it is already very luxurious for these children.

However, even though Wen Xing was so moved, he was still firm in his heart and shook his head.

"No, I still have younger brothers and sisters to take care of."

Wen Xing really wanted to think that there was nothing wrong with living in this place, and after what happened yesterday, even if it was only for one day, he did not think that Xiao Yan was the kind of person who had designs on them, at least he would not hurt them.

But because of this, Wen Xing really couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

Yesterday, there was really nothing we could do.

What's more, if you and your sister live here, what about your other adopted brothers and sisters?
They are enjoying a comfortable life here, but they are still living a miserable life.

Wen Xing is real and cannot do this.

Once you do this, your life now will be really meaningless.

It would be better to have been burned to death together with my eldest brother and brothers and sisters.

Wen Xing has survived once, and he doesn't want to survive a second time.

After hearing Wen Xing's answer and seeing the expression on Wen Xing's face, Xiao Yan seemed to have guessed something.

My heart felt heavy.Wen Xing seems to be the same type of person as himself.

It seems that he cares about his brothers and sisters wholeheartedly, and this is indeed the case.

But this is just a means to achieve his goal.

His real purpose should be just to escape and escape from his original cowardly self.

And, to atone for the sins of the cowardly self.

But Xiao Yan wanted to tell Wen Xing.

His initial cowardice was not his fault.

The wrong person is definitely not him.

Xiao Yan breathed a deep sigh of relief, looked at Wen Xing and continued.

"Because you have to take care of your younger siblings, so you can't stay, right?"

"Ah."

Wen Xing nodded solemnly, without any hesitation in his eyes.

But the next moment, Xiao Yan's words made him freeze on the spot.

I saw Xiao Yan smiling slightly and speaking slowly.

"Then, as long as you take over your younger brothers and sisters and take care of them together, everything will be fine, right?"

"Eh?!"

Xiao Yan's words suddenly shocked Wen Xing's body and mind.

Before he could recover, Xiao Yan's voice gradually flowed into his ears.

"You don't have to worry about the room. It's definitely enough. If it doesn't work out, it's okay for several children to live in one room."

"There is enough food, and if your younger siblings get sick again, we can take care of them right away."

"This is a good choice for you and your brothers and sisters, right?"

Xiao Yan's words took Wen Xing a long time to come to his senses.

I couldn't help but asked blankly.

"What good will it do to you if you do this?"

Wen Xing couldn't understand, couldn't understand what Xiao Yan could gain by doing this.

How could someone do such a stupid thing after paying a lot but getting nothing?
Wen Xing thought this in his heart, and then suddenly denied it.

No, some
Wen Xing's mind immediately thought of the big brother who saved him when he was about to die.

He could obviously live a better life without himself and those brothers and sisters.

But he still continued to add burdens to himself.

Not even to die.
He recalled the panicked face of his elder brother when he was about to die, which still appears in his nightmares.

Wen Xing's heart trembled, and his eyes couldn't help but become red, moist, and trembling.

He lowered his head, covering his eyes with his dirty hair, and murmured softly.

"Why are you doing this?"

"What good will this do to you?"

"Can't you just live your own life? What does the life and death of others have to do with you?!"

The last sentence was shouted out by Wen Xing with anger.

Are you blaming Xiao Yan?Or are you complaining about the big brother who is deep in your memory?
Wen Xing himself couldn't figure it out either.

Liu Yiyi looked at Wen Xing from the side, her small eyes full of worry, and she tightly tugged on Wen Xing's shabby clothes.

Wen Xing's roar led the little medical fairy out of the kitchen. He stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at Xiao Yan's back quietly.

Lu Qiong and Lu Jing, who were sitting at the table, stared blankly, while Feng Qing'er's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan's face.

She also wanted to know the answer.

She wanted to know what drove Xiao Yan to do this kind of waste of time, money and energy without any reward.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes slightly when he heard Wen Xing's roar.

Silently, thinking about the answer.

Is it for your own righteousness?
of course.

Your own right path is the origin of all your actions and the rules for what you do.

But I can't answer that.

The Wen Xing in front of him was just a child forcing himself to mature.

He couldn't understand such an ethereal thing as righteousness.

To answer his question, you can only use real words.

Xiao Yan's thoughts became clear, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Wen Xing in front of him.

He spoke quietly but firmly.

"Because I want to do it, that's all."

？ ！！

Xiao Yan's answer made Wen Xing pause for a moment, and he raised his head blankly to look at Xiao Yan in front of him.

Feng Qing'er was also stunned. He never expected that Xiao Yan would give such an answer.

The little medical fairy smiled softly and looked at Xiao Yan's back with tenderness in his eyes.

Yes, sometimes the answer is that simple.

There is no need to investigate whether Xiao Yan adheres to the right path or other such illusory things.

The sentence "I want to do it" is enough as a reason.

Xiao Yan looked at Wen Xing in a daze and smiled slightly.

“Isn’t that what people do in many things?”

"Just like those people you usually see, if you want to do anything, just do it."

"They and I are essentially the same."

"Because I wanted to take care of you, and I felt like I should take care of you, so I did."

"Is this reason enough?"

Looking at Xiao Yan with a sincere look in front of him and the reasons he gave, Wen Xing's mind once again revolved around what the elder brother had said.

【Eh?You ask me why I should adopt you? 】

[Maybe it’s because I’m stupid, I don’t quite understand it myself. 】

[But I think I should adopt you, I want to take care of you. 】

[This should be considered a reason, right? 】

At that moment, the honest smile of the elder brother who answered like this looked so bright and dazzling, which deeply touched Wen Xing's heart at that time.

Wen Xing was immersed in memories, tears slowly sliding down the side of his face.

And Xiao Yan spoke again.

"And you, me, and your big brother are all the same, right?"

"Didn't you also adopt those younger brothers and sisters who have nothing to do with you?"

"Just because you think you should do it and you want to do it, you do it, right?"

Xiao Yan's words shocked Wen Xing.

He turned his head slightly and looked down at Liu Yiyi beside him.

Just like that big brother who once looked down at him.
