Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

"Hey! Yes, this way, come closer!"

"We don't have enough manpower here!"

"Engineering class, what about the engineering class?"

"Go to the college and recruit some more people, especially those who study civil engineering!"

"Tell them that it's the Black Horn Region's Yuan Yi Sect Master who paid for it. This is a great opportunity to improve your resume! If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again!"

In the Black Horn area, reconstruction work is going on in full swing and is very intense.

Yuan Yi, Ya Fei and Yao Ye also personally led the team to confirm the planning of every part of the new Black Horn Domain. The reconstruction work of the Black Horn Domain was coordinated by him and he did it very seriously.

At first, Yuan Yi felt disappointed because of the destruction of the Black Horn Region, but when he really started to work, he was full of energy.

When the Black Horn Domain was completely destroyed, the assets of the Eight Gates were relatively well preserved. After all, the inventory was stored in storage rings, and all the storage rings were taken away when they evacuated from the Black Horn Domain. Otherwise, Yuan Yi would not have the confidence to bear the cost of rebuilding half of the Black Horn Domain with the Eight Gates alone.

"It's so hot. When will this work end?"

The two middle-aged men finished pushing the last pile of bricks in their hands, sat on the pile of bricks and wiped the sweat off their faces with the towels around their necks. One of them looked at Xiao Yan who was still moving construction equipment, and couldn't help but smacked his lips and sighed to his co-worker next to him.

"I heard from others that this kid is the young man who unified the Black Horn Region? This boss Yuan Yi is not honest. He arranged him to do our hard labor when he has such a powerful identity?"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense! This is what she wanted to do." The worker waved his hand and said with a grin, "She just can't sit still. Do you want me to gossip? Okay, take a break and continue working. There's still a lot to do."

While the two were chatting, Xiao Yan also gently put down the construction equipment weighing hundreds of kilograms in his hand. Just as Xiao Yan put it down, a pile of things also came over from the side. Then Xiao Yan heard Xiao Ning's somewhat complaining voice.

"My cousin Xiao Yan, you have so many powerful people under you. You can probably just assign a few of them to finish the job in a few days, right? Do you have to command them to move it manually? The most important thing is that you have to do it yourself. Is it necessary? Can't you just pull some people from your Tianhe Alliance?"

Xiao Ning sat down against the brick wall and pulled his collar to cool down, while Xiao Yan chuckled softly.

"I just don't want the Black Horn Region to become a place where nothing can be accomplished without these strong men. We can't let everyone think that they don't have to worry about anything as long as there are strong men around, right?" Xiao Yan put one hand on his waist and looked at the people working hard in the Black Horn Region. "This is also an experience for me. It allows me to remember where I came from all the time. Forgetting one's roots is the behavior that is most likely to cause serious consequences. This is called experiencing the sufferings of the world and remembering the bitterness and sweetness."

Xiao Yan raised a finger and said seriously.

"Convenience at the moment is only temporary after all. I hope that the people living in the world I see can live tenaciously even if they are strong enough without these conveniences."

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Xiao Ning couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Okay, whatever comes out of your mouth is right." Xiao Ning smiled helplessly, and then glanced to the other side, "But those guys should be very unhappy."

Xiao Yan also followed Xiao Ning's gaze and saw a few men over there who were also doing hard labor like the others, but their strength was all at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun level without exception.

These people were none other than the powerful independent warriors from Zhongzhou who had come here to fight against Venerable Huanyu in order to break through to the level of Douluo. There were originally more than 20 of them, but in the conflict that day, only these few who were seriously injured survived.

After Xiao Yan rescued them, perhaps they had figured it out, or perhaps the psychological counseling Xiao Yan gave them took effect, these people now seemed to no longer have such a strong obsession with breaking through to the Douluo level. This time, it was not Xiao Yan's request to help rebuild the Black Horn Region, but they stayed on their own initiative.

Perhaps they have also realized in their hearts that the Douluo level they have been wanting to break through all their lives is, in essence, an unattainable dream for most people, and it is not worth wasting their entire lives on this matter.

"Oh, by the way, cousin Xiao Ning." Xiao Yan remembered something, looked at Xiao Ning and said, "After the Black Horn Region is rebuilt, I want you to go to Zhongzhou to help me."

"Ah? Us?" Xiao Ning was stunned, pointing at himself in astonishment, "Are you kidding? Should we help you?"

What kind of place is Zhongzhou? Xiao Ning might not have known much about it in the past because he was young and ignorant, but after working as the Minister of Intelligence in the Black Horn Region for the past few years, he knows it very well. As a One-Star Dou Zun, he can barely live a safe life in the Black Horn Region, so how can he be qualified to go to Zhongzhou?

“Hey, don’t underestimate yourself. Cousin Xiao Ning, your strength is not bad in Zhongzhou. Besides, I didn’t ask you to come over for a fight.” Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hands. “My cousin has already asked you for help. Why don’t you give me face?”

"Hey! I don't like what you said, as if I, your cousin, am so unkind." Xiao Ning grinned, patted his chest and said, "It's just right, I have wanted to go to Zhongzhou to find you for a long time. This time you asked in person, so I must agree!"

After saying that, Xiao Ning turned his head and grinned sinisterly.

"The brothels in Zhongzhou must be of much higher quality than those in Northwest China~ Hehehe~~~"

"."

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ning speechlessly, then patted his legs and shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Okay, cousin Xiao Ning, it's time to get back to work."

When Xiao Yan and Xiao Ning started working again, in the corner of the construction site, Cai Lin was leaning leisurely on a chair, staring at Xiao Yan's back with a trance-like gaze.

At this time, a cup of brewed tea was handed over. Cai Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and saw Yue Mei with a respectful look on her face.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

A few days ago, the day after the Gama Empire decided to support the reconstruction of the Black Horn Region, Yue Mei, who knew that Cai Lin was also here, rushed over immediately. In the past few days, she has been serving her own queen meticulously and feels extremely proud in her heart.

Four-star Dou Sheng mid-stage, how could they have imagined that their queen could be so powerful when they were hiding in the Tagor Desert? At that time, Cai Lin's breakthrough to Dou Zong was enough to make the whole tribe proud, and now this kind of strength is even more unimaginable.

"Ah."

Cai Lin nodded slightly, took the teacup, put it to her lips and sipped it gently, her eyes still fixed on Xiao Yan, while Yue Mei asked with concern.

"My Queen, how has your Highness been doing lately?"

"It's good. There are many brothers and sisters in Xingyun Pavilion to play with her. Xiaoxiao won't feel lonely." Cai Lin said, glancing at Yue Mei, "By the way, you should go back with me this time. I probably won't have time to look after the child. Yun Yun and the others probably won't be able to spare the time either. You will take care of the girl from now on."

"It is my honor."

Yue Mei responded without any hesitation. She had liked this little prince very much when Xiao Xiao was still in Yunlan Sect. After Xiao Xiao was taken to Xingyun Pavilion by Xiao Yan, Yue Mei felt lost for a long time because she couldn't see Xiao Xiao.

"But Your Majesty, you said you don't have time later?"

Yue Mei asked doubtfully, while Cai Lin sighed softly.

"Xiao Yan is such a worrying guy." Cai Lin paused, and said firmly, "Through this incident, I have also realized that the dangers Xiao Yan faces are getting greater and greater. He may be in danger of his life at any time. I must be by his side to protect him at all times."

After staying in Xingyun Pavilion for a few years, Cai Lin had become accustomed to peace and no longer cared about the dangers that Xiao Yan encountered.

But this time, after Cai Lin saw Xiao Yan's body disappear in front of her with her own eyes, she was really scared.

Cai Lin knew Xiao Yan's character very well. It would be useless for her to warn him not to take risks again. In other words, if Xiao Yan was not the kind of person who would take risks, he probably would not have come this far. Since she could not dissuade him, as his wife, she had to support him with all her strength.

“Heh~ It’s incredible when you think about it.” Cai Lin looked at Xiao Yan’s busy figure, lightly touching his cheek and couldn’t help laughing, “I would actually worry so much about a human man. I guess the former king would never believe it no matter what.”

Yue Mei on the side stared at Cai Lin for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, you have really changed a lot."

Who was Cai Lin in the past? She did what she wanted, was the only one who respected her, and would not allow anyone to go against her will.

From her insistence on marrying Xiao Yan back then, it was clear that Cai Lin was the type of person who didn't care about other people's opinions at all. As long as she was willing, no matter how much others said, it was useless.

But now, Cai Lin has obviously changed.

Hearing Yue Mei's words, Cai Lin smiled helplessly.

"Who made me end up with such a husband? He is extremely stubborn and I can't beat him, so I can only go along with him, right?"

Yue Mei was silent for a while, looked at Cai Lin's unconscious smile, and spoke again.

"But your Majesty, you look much happier now than before."

Cai Lin was startled for a moment, then her expression relaxed, with a smile in her eyes, and she responded softly.

"Is it."

Then, after noon, Xiao Mei appeared above the Black Horn Region, holding a gong in one hand and a hammer in the other, and struck it hard, making the crisp sound of the gong resound throughout the Black Horn Region.

“It’s time to eat!!!”

Following Xiao Mei's announcement, many children ran to various construction sites with meals and presented the delicious meals to the workers. Everyone stopped the work at hand, sat down happily and started eating to replenish their energy so that they could work better in the afternoon.

Among them, Gu Qinghan was also in the meal delivery team. He handed the food in his hand to Xiao Yan, who smiled softly and thanked him.

"Qinghan, thank you."

Xiao Yan took the food and sat down to eat. Gu Qinghan did not leave either. He sat beside Xiao Yan and accompanied him quietly. He glanced at Xiao Yan with a slight gleam in his eyes.

That day, it was not only Cai Lin who was shocked when she saw Xiao Yan's soul was torn apart, but also Gu Qinghan.

At that moment, Gu Qinghan really experienced for the first time in her life what a dark moment was. This also caused certain emotions that had been suppressed in her heart to begin to grow uncontrollably.

"Cousin Xiao Yan~~~"

This familiar voice interrupted Gu Qinghan's thoughts. Xiao Mei suddenly appeared behind Xiao Yan, put her arms around his neck, and asked him for credit with a look of joy on her face.

"Cousin Xiao Yan! How does it taste? This is the meal I cooked with the kids!"

"It's delicious. Mei'er's cooking skills are getting better and better~"

Xiao Yan swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his hand and gently touched Xiao Mei's head, which made Xiao Mei narrow her eyes in pleasure.

Gu Qinghan felt inexplicably unhappy when he saw this scene. Xiao Mei had behaved like this more than once in the past few days. Looking at Xiao Mei's unscrupulous and intimate contact with Xiao Yan, Gu Qinghan always felt an inexplicable envy in his heart.

It seems that being a younger sister is sometimes quite good?

As soon as this thought popped up in Gu Qinghan's mind, he immediately shook his head to get rid of the thought from his mind.

No, no! Xun'er has already suffered a great loss because of this identity, I can't make the same mistake again!

At this time, old man Lu Yi came over with a plate with a dozen teacups on it. He bent his slightly hunched body and presented it to Xiao Yan.

"Little Brother Xiao Yan, drink some tea to avoid choking."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu Yi."

Xiao Yan brought over a teacup with a smile, but Lu Yi shook his head slightly.

"What's so tiring? I'm too old to do any heavy work, so I can only make tea for you." Lu Yi laughed at himself, then turned and left. "Then, little brother Xiao Yan, enjoy your meal. I'll go serve tea to others."

"Well, old man, please watch your step and don't fall."

Xiao Yan waved his hand while holding the chopsticks in his mouth. At this time, Ya Fei came over, which made Gu Qinghan immediately alert, while Xiao Yan greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Yafei, have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I've been so busy these past two days that I don't even have time to drink some water." Ya Fei covered her face and complained a little, but she didn't tease Xiao Yan like she did before. She slightly moved to the side to make room behind her, "Brother Xiao Yan, someone is here to see you."

"Well?"

Xiao Yan bit his chopsticks and looked at the person who stood out from behind Ya Fei in confusion. Then his eyes showed joy, and he stood up and greeted him.

"Miss Yun, you are here."

The person who came was none other than the current leader of Zhongzhou Tianhe Alliance, Yun Ying of the Yun family.

"Mr. Xiao is really a man of good taste. He ignores the alliance as big as Zhongzhou and works as a laborer in the Black Horn Region of the Northwest Continent. No matter who you tell this to, I'm afraid no one will believe it, right?"

Yunying smiled softly with her hands behind her back, and Xiao Yan scratched his hair embarrassedly.

Regardless of what my own thoughts and ideas are, as an executor of the Tianhe League, I am doing hard labor here while the Tianhe League is ignoring me. It would seem a bit irrelevant if I tell others about it.

"I won't tease you, Master Xiao. We have already heard Zijing's report about what happened in the Black Horn Region. It was really dangerous." Yunying said this, and then paused and continued, "This time I am not only here to take a look on behalf of the Tianhe League, but mainly to convey a very important message to Master Xiao. Master Xiao may not be able to continue to work leisurely here."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, took out the chopsticks from his mouth and asked, while Yun Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke slowly.

"According to reliable information, the legendary ancient Bodhi tree will soon appear in the world." (End of this chapter)
