Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 402 Welcome Home
"Pure Lotus Demon Fire?" Xiao Yan was startled, "I remember you said it was on the strange fire list."

"Well, it's the strange fire that ranks third on the list of strange fires. You guys are lucky. You have collected three residual pictures of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire."

Yao Shen couldn't help but sigh. Many people spent their whole lives looking for this thing but could not find one. Xiao Yan had only been out for a long time and he had already obtained three of them by accident.

It takes no effort to find anything even though you have worn iron shoes. This is what it is like.

However, although Yao Shen sighed like this, Xiao Yan's heart was not moved too much by the residual image of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

Previously, his search for strange fires was mainly to achieve the basic conditions for drug refining and refining the body. Now that all three kinds of strange fires are available, collecting strange fires is no longer a must for him.

Yao Chen also saw Xiao Yan's thoughts, and after a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"Xiao Yanzi, I want to ask you a question." Yao Chen stared into Xiao Yan's eyes and said calmly: "How strong do you want to become?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yan was a little confused. He had never considered this question before.

Yao Chen lowered his head slightly and smiled softly.

"Although you have followed your teacher's advice these days and have not considered anything related to your righteous path, and have been living your college life peacefully, you are actually still thinking about it deep down in your heart, right?"

".Yes."

Xiao Yan did not deny it and nodded slightly.

"Know and act, knowing and doing are one." Yao Chen clasped his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "If you want to accomplish something, you must first know about it, and then you can take action to achieve the result."

"However, you are now in a state of ignorance. You are acting without complete knowledge. It is normal to receive resistance."

"Put away the remaining pictures first. When you really understand your right path in the future, I think you will need it. As for now, there is no need to think about it."

"What's more, this is the Pure Lotus Demon Fire that ranks third on the list of strange fires. Even my master in his heyday couldn't obtain it. It's useless for you to think about it now."

Hearing Yao Shen's words, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, lowered his head and murmured.

"Know and do, know and do as one." After chanting for a long time, Xiao Yan raised his head and cupped his hands to Yao Chen, "Disciple, remember."

Gamma Empire, Utham City.

"Hey~ that lantern is hung a little higher, and the one over there has the word "福" tilted on it."

At this time, in the Xiao family, the patriarch Xiao Zhan was leading his clan members to decorate the Xiao family, preparing to welcome the Xiao family who came back from other places to celebrate the New Year.

In the past, Xiao Yan led the juniors of the Xiao family to complete these tasks, but this year, the juniors of the Xiao family also rushed back from other places, so they could only do this work for them.

At this time, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Li had not returned home at any time this year, but they also informed him of their current situation through letters, which made Xiao Zhan very proud.

His eldest daughter actually became the Imperial Master of the Jia Ma Empire, and his second daughter also became a soldier under Nalan Jie. She also solved the problem of snake people that had troubled the Jia Ma Empire for many years. This was something that Xiao Zhan never expected. Thought-of.

"Clan leader! Miss Xiao Ling and Miss Xiao Li are back!"

"Ha~ I really get whatever I want."

Hearing this report, Xiao Zhan looked overjoyed, turned around and strode out of the house. At a glance, he saw Xiao Ling and Xiao Li walking towards them, and Yue Mei following behind them.

As for Ziyun, since it was her first time here, she took the little lion king to Manwutan City for a walk as soon as she got off the car, and then came to Xiao's house.

Yue Mei, a snake-human race, is definitely a rare species in Wutan City. From the moment she got off the bus to Wutan City, the eyes of passers-by were all focused on her.

Xiao Zhan was slightly startled when he saw Yue Mei, but he was the leader of the clan after all. He quickly came to his senses and looked at Xiao Ling and Xiao Li, his eyes filled with relief.

"Girls, welcome home~"

"Hey~ Dad, long time no see~" Xiao Li walked around behind Xiao Zhan carelessly and pressed his shoulder flatteringly, "We haven't seen each other for a year. Did you miss me?"

"I want it! How can I not think about it?"

Xiao Zhan responded with a smile, his eyes full of kindness, Xiao Ling also smiled slightly, and then turned slightly sideways and introduced to Xiao Zhan.

"Father, this is Yue Mei, the leader of the Snake People. Because we have helped a lot with the Snake People's affairs, she came to the house as a representative to express her gratitude."

"Clan Chief Xiao, our first meeting."

Yue Mei politely stepped forward and bent slightly, which made Xiao Zhan feel a little trembling.

This is the leader of the snake people, a majestic fighting king. In the past, the Xiao family could not defeat him. Even if he was trapped in Tagore Desert before, the power of the entire snake people was far from being comparable to that of the Xiao family. But now it is This kind of task actually bows to me?
But fortunately, Xiao Zhan is also the clan leader after all, and he soon stabilized. At this time, the ring in Yue Mei's hand flashed with light, and a large number of pre-packaged gifts appeared next to him.

"These are various specialties of the Snake Clan. They were carefully selected by me and the other leaders. Please accept them, Chief Xiao."

"Hey! This"

Xiao Zhan waved his hand, and Yue Mei smiled before saying anything.

"If it weren't for Xiao Ling and his brother and sister, our Snake Tribe might still be trapped in the Tagor Desert. It's just a small gift. Please don't refuse, Chief Xiao. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the other leaders when I go back."

"Well then, Xiao will accept it shamelessly."

Xiao Zhan handed over his hand to thank him. The other party was so sincere that any further refusal would be disrespectful to him. He immediately waved to the person.

"Move all these things in." Then Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Ling and said, "Take your friend to the guest room to rest first. The guest room has been cleaned."

"Xiao Li, take Chief Yuemei over. I have something to tell my father."

"Okay~ Yue Mei, come with me."

Xiao Ling ordered Xiao Li, and Xiao Li lightly raised her hand to Yue Mei after responding.

Obviously, compared to Xiao Zhan, Xiao Li's behavior toward Yue Mei seemed casual. At best, it was informal, and at worst, it was disrespectful.

However, Yue Mei didn't care. She didn't care about the red tape. What's more, Xiao Li had been supervising the work in Red Sand City for the past six months and had long been familiar with snake people like them. Who cares about this.

Seeing Xiao Li taking Yue Mei to the guest room, the smile on Xiao Ling's face disappeared, and there was a bit of seriousness in his eyes.

"Father, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Xiao Ling's eyes, Xiao Zhan also put away his smile. It was obvious that Xiao Ling wanted to tell him something very important. He nodded silently, turned around and walked towards his room. Xiao Ling also quietly Following behind, they entered the room together and started talking, while the other Xiao clan members were busy as usual.

However, not long after the two entered the room.
"What did you say?!!!"

Xiao Zhan's screams suddenly came from Xiao Zhan's room, which made all the Xiao clan members who were busy at work paused and looked in the direction of Xiao Zhan's room in confusion.

Patriarch, what's wrong?

In the room, Xiao Zhan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He was so nervous that he couldn't help but swallow, and confirmed with a trembling voice.

"Daughter, are you sure it's true?" "Well, father, you also know your daughter's character. I won't talk nonsense until things are confirmed."

Xiao Ling nodded solemnly. Xiao Zhan's head felt unprecedented pain, and he slowly sat on the chair and stroked his head.

"How could this kid Yan'er do this?"

"Father, don't blame Yan'er blindly. Although I don't know the specific situation yet, Yan'er's fault in this matter should not be that big. At least he is not the main fault." Xiao Ling defended his brother softly, and then helplessly He sighed, "But even so, Yan'er has an inescapable relationship with this matter, and he must bear this responsibility."

"Then, what does Sect Leader Yun mean?"

Xiao Zhan asked, while Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly.

"She wanted to hide this matter and didn't want Xiao Yan to know about it. Before coming back this time, I also went to Yunlan Sect to persuade her to come back with us, but she also refused."

To be honest, if Yun Yun was really that kind of person with a despicable temperament, Xiao Peng would definitely not have such a headache, and would try his best to prevent Xiao Yan from knowing about it.

She knew that with Xiao Yan's character, no matter what kind of person the other person was, as long as he did this, he would definitely take responsibility.

Xiao Ling just looks gentle and elegant, but she is not a believer in nature, and her love for Xiao Yan is well known. Even when necessary, she will probably try her best to make Yun Yun disappear completely, so as to avoid this woman's death. Existence harmed Xiao Yan.

But the problem lies in this.

Yun Yun's character and conduct are so good that Xiao Ling can hardly find fault with her. So far she has been hiding the matter, firstly because she doesn't want to make Nalan Yanran sad, and secondly because she doesn't want to make things difficult for Xiao Yan.

The more Yun Yun behaves like this, the more she makes Xiao Ling, Xiao Yan's eldest sister, feel guilty.

Yun Yun's character is really suitable for Xiao Yan. If there was no issue about Nalan Yanran's engagement, Xiao Yan would definitely drag Xiao Yan to go to Yunlan Sect to propose marriage without any hesitation.

Then again, Yunyun and Yunshan should be in the same situation.

If Xiao Yan was really that kind of person with a despicable temperament, Xiao Yan would probably be dead long ago.

Yunshan must have mentioned the proposal of marriage to the Xiao family to Yun Yun, and Yun Yun must have objected to it in the end. The reason was very different from Xiao Ping's, both because Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan's engagement was in the way. With.

"This kid is really good at staying at home, and he can make such big mistakes when he goes out."

Xiao Zhan slapped his head with a headache. To be honest, his son and the head of the Yunlan Sect had cooked rice. As a father, he was quite proud, proud that his son had such great abilities.

That was the dignified head of the Yunlan Sect, and according to Xiao Ling, that head had a very good character and character. If he really had such an outstanding daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhan would be like smoke rising from his ancestral grave.

But, that's not what happened. The engagement with the Nalan family has not been terminated yet. How should I explain to the Nalan family if this is revealed?

"Ha, my daughter, why are you telling me this?"

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Ling complainingly. Even if you tell me about this, I can't solve it?The only effect of knowing this is a headache, it would be better not to know!

"After all, you are Yan'er's father. You have the right to know this matter, and you should know it." Xiao Ling said this, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "And my daughter feels that I am the only one who has a headache about this matter. I always feel it’s unfair, so I just want to give you some support.”

"You child."

Xiao Zhan raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Ling tremblingly. He didn't know what to say. After a long time, he sighed deeply and then asked.

"What can you do about this?"

"When Yan'er comes back, I'll try to find out what he's saying first. If there's a chance, I have to let Yan'er know about this even if Sect Master Yun doesn't want to."

Xiao Ling said this with a little pity in his eyes.

As a woman, she sympathized with Yun Yun. She was pregnant with the child's father, but she didn't know it. She had to hide the matter. For this reason, she couldn't even go out to see people in the past few months, and could only stay in an empty room alone.

This also wronged her too much.

Then Xiao Zhan and Xiao Ling walked out of the room and heard a familiar call as soon as they arrived in the yard.

"Sister Xiao Ling!"

"Well?"

Xiao Ling looked up in shock and saw a figure falling from the sky. He instinctively stretched out his hand and held it firmly in his arms. Looking at the girl in his arms, Xiao Ling's eyes instantly filled with joy.

"Blue Scale!"

"Sister Xiao Ling! Qinglin finally sees you!"

Qing Lin, who fell from the sky, hugged Xiao Ling tightly, with a huge smile on her face and some tears in the corners of her eyes, enjoying the familiar atmosphere with peace of mind.

At this time, two more people slowly landed in front of Xiao Ling from the air under the astonished eyes of the Xiao family. They were the Green Man and Elder Qing of the Tian She Mansion.

"Xiao Ling, as promised, I brought the saint back."

Luman smiled slightly, and Xiao Ling nodded, responding with gentle eyes.

"Thank you." Xiao Ling hugged Qing Lin and looked at Elder Qing next to Lu Man, "Who is this?"

"This is my colleague Elder Qing, who protects the saint with me."

After Luman's introduction, Elder Qing also stepped forward and bowed slightly to Xiao Ling.

"This is the first time we meet, Miss Xiao Ling. I often hear your name from the saint's mouth, and now I finally meet you."

"Excuse me, please accompany Elder Greenman to escort Qinglin."

Xiao Ling said politely, then turned slightly sideways and introduced to Xiao Zhan.

"Father, these two are the elders of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, and Qing Lin is currently training with them."

"oh oh."

Xiao Zhan responded blankly and looked at Xiao Ling with strange eyes. Why was his daughter connected with the Tian She Mansion?What has she done this year?
After a while of pleasantries, Xiao Zhan ordered his servants to arrange guest rooms for Luman and Elder Qing. The Xiao family has expanded a lot this year, and there are definitely enough guest rooms.

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the Xiao family's courtyard, and familiar voices continued to be heard inside the courtyard, making many parents of the Xiao family who were busy showing joy on their faces.

A few seconds later, several Xiao family juniors came to the courtyard carrying large and small bags. Everyone's face was full of nostalgia. It was the first time they had been away from home for so long. It was impossible to say they missed home.

The leader, Xiao Yan, looked at Xiao Zhan in the courtyard, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he said softly.

"Father, we are back."

Xiao Zhan trembled again and again, and came to Xiao Yan. He carefully looked at the son in front of him whom he had not seen for a year, and then glanced at the other juniors.

Majesty, yet tender words came out of his mouth.

"Kids, welcome home~"
