Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Xiao Yan paced back and forth outside the room, looking from time to time at the room that had been soundproofed. The irritation in his heart became stronger and stronger. He covered his face in discomfort and slowly squatted down.

“What on earth did I do last night?”

"Xiao Yanzi, what are you doing squatting here?"

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, making Xiao Yan slightly stunned. He looked up and found a beautiful face looking at him in confusion. It was his mentor Yao Chen.

"Senior Medicine"

Xiao Yan pursed his lips, with an expression that showed he had something to complain about, and then his expression suddenly froze.

The person in front of me has a criminal record. Could it be that
"Senior Yao, did you leave your room last night?"

".Huh? What do you mean?"

Yao Chen had a face full of question marks and was about to ask again when the door of the room suddenly opened. Then Xiao Yixian walked out of the room. She was slightly stunned when she saw Yao Chen, and before she could open her mouth, Xiao Yan quickly stood up.

"Little Medical Fairy, Zi Yan..."

"Stop! Don't talk yet!"

Xiao Yixian immediately raised her hand to stop Xiao Yan from speaking, and then reached out to pull Yao Chen, who had a dazed look in his eyes, into the room. In Xiao Yan's stunned eyes, she once again closed the door tightly, leaving Xiao Yan standing there in a daze.

After a long while, the door of the room opened again, and Yao Chen walked out slowly. His face looked very serious, but there was something strange in the depths of his eyes. His ruby-like eyes stared at Xiao Yan closely.

After a long time, Yao Chen raised his hand and coughed twice.

"Ahem. Xiao Yanzi, your teacher already knows about your relationship with Zi Yan."

As Yao Chen's voice fell, Xiao Yan's face changed, and Yao Chen continued.

"Don't feel too burdened. This is the aftereffect of Zi Yan absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. It has nothing to do with the two midnight snacks yesterday."

".ah?"

Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned, and Yao Chen continued to explain with a serious face.

"When Zi Yan absorbed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, her body was not fully developed yet, so she did not absorb all the energy in the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. It is estimated that the previous battle in the Black Horn Region caused Zi Yan to fully stimulate her potential due to the backlash of the Eight Extremes Collapse, so that the remaining energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was all absorbed by her, causing her to lose her mind and only pursue instincts. This is what happened last night."

Yao Chen's words were well-reasoned, and Yao Chen himself was an authority among Zhongzhou's alchemists. With such an identity, his words were naturally convincing, but Xiao Yan still frowned and asked about the doubts.

"But even if what you said is true, it is Zi Yan's own body that is abnormal, but I also lost consciousness yesterday. This..."

"We have just checked this. It should be the strong energy fluctuation caused by Zi Yan's body absorbing the remaining energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit that knocked you out. After all, although your combat power is far higher than your actual strength, it is still no match for this girl Zi Yan. This is normal."

“But those two midnight snacks.”

"It's just a coincidence. It has nothing to do with those two midnight snacks." Yao Chen denied it righteously. As if he was afraid that Xiao Yan would suspect him, he spoke again: "Those two midnight snacks were prepared by Yun Yun and left in the kitchen because I suddenly wanted to eat something last night. Even if I have a criminal record, Yun Yun would never do such a thing, right?"

"That's true."

Xiao Yan frowned and nodded slightly, and then Yao Chen patted Xiao Yan's shoulder lightly.

"Xiao Yanzi, don't let Yun Yun know about those two midnight snacks yesterday. Although what happened between you and Zi Yan had nothing to do with those two midnight snacks, you know Yun Yun's character. If she knew, it would be hard for her not to feel guilty."

"I I know."

Seeing Xiao Yan hesitate for a long time and finally nodded, Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Xiao Yan believed his own words. Of course, not only was Yao Chen's explanation logically sound, but more importantly, in Xiao Yan's understanding, no one in the entire Xingyun Pavilion had the motive to drug him, which was why he was misled by Yao Chen's words.

That's good. In this way, Zi Yan's deliberate behavior was changed into an accident. Xiao Yan is already familiar with this kind of accident, and he won't have such a heavy psychological burden. The most important thing is that he won't expose Xun'er, the culprit.

Of course, Yao Chen was willing to agree to Xiao Yixian's explanation, and the most important thing was that the reasons Xiao Yixian gave him were quite sufficient.

For Xiao Yan's sake, he must not let his feelings for Xun'er decline.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now." Yao Chen clapped his hands, concluding the matter. "Xiao Yanzi, don't let others know about Zi Yan's matter for now. I know you are not used to hiding the truth from important people, but these few days are really not a good time to show your cards. It won't be too late to talk about it after the matter of the ancient Bodhi tree is over."

Yao Chen said this, and this statement also had two purposes.

One is to delay Xun'er's departure. Xun'er must have come here for the ancient Bodhi tree on the orders of her family this time, and she can't stay here for long. As long as she keeps it a secret for a few more days, Xun'er will not have the chance to know that her behavior led to the relationship between Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, and in this way, Xun'er will not have the possible mental explosion.

Secondly, it was to delay the time for Xiao Yan to reveal his cards. With these few days of buffer, Yao Chen could also communicate with the other people in advance. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's wives were all experienced people, and this time it was indeed not Xiao Yan's problem, not even an accident. When the time came, they could just keep Xiao Yan a secret with one statement. When Xiao Yan slowly got over this hurdle and accepted Zi Yan, the truth of the matter would no longer matter.

(Zi Yan is such a good pretender that even I didn’t notice it.)
Yao Chen raised her eyebrows slightly. Just now, when she heard the little medical fairy's narration in the room, she thought she had heard it wrongly. She never thought that Zi Yan, a girl who had always been silly and stupid like a child, would have such a mind.

Using something that shouldn't be used was the only time that Xiao Yan blamed Yao Chen for this matter. Yao Chen knew very well how much Xiao Yan disliked this matter. If he didn't find a way to turn this matter into an accident, Xiao Yan would definitely find out that it was Xun'er who did it. By that time, Xun'er would probably not even be able to remain a sister in Xiao Yan's heart.

Xun'er is the only one of the eight ancient clans that Xiao Yan can establish a relationship with now. It was the other party who took the initiative to approach Xiao Yan. She even did such an unscrupulous act, which shows how obsessed Xun'er is with Xiao Yan. She absolutely cannot mess it up.

(By the way, my disciple’s luck with women is simply too much.)
Yao Chen had a helpless look on her face. In her eyes, Xiao Yan was like a piece of delicious meat, surrounded by a group of hungry wolves staring at him.
At this moment, a group of new guests came to Luoxing City. They were Yafei Yaoye and others who arrived from the distant Black Horn Region through the space channel. Among them were Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, and other brothers and sisters of the Xiao family.

"Falling Star City, um~~~The address Xiao Yan's cousin left should be here."

Xiao Ning muttered as he looked at the plaque of Luoxing City in front of him, while Xiao Mei beside him had excitement in her eyes.

"Cousin Xiao Yan! I'm here!"

As she said that, Xiao Mei rushed into the city, but Xiao Ning grabbed her collar with a helpless look on his face.

"Hehehe! Don't worry. We have found Luoxing City, but we still don't know where Xingyun Pavilion is." Xiao Ning pulled Xiao Mei, who was dissatisfied, back and said with his arms folded, "Let's ask around in Luoxing City for information. Mei'er, this is Zhongzhou, not Black Horn Region. Don't act on your own, otherwise you might cause trouble to Xiao Yan." The experience in Black Horn Region over the years has made Xiao Ning grow a lot. The most intuitive point is that although Xiao Ning is sloppy on weekdays, he is always the most serious one when it comes to serious matters.

Xiao Yan is now the core of the Tianhe Alliance. As Xiao Yan's relatives, they cannot rely on their relationship with Xiao Yan to do anything wrong. They came to Zhongzhou to help Xiao Yan, not to cause trouble for him.

"Tsk! I get it."

Xiao Mei pouted in dissatisfaction, but she knew in her heart that there was nothing wrong with what Xiao Ning said, so she didn't say anything more. At this time, Ya Fei opened her mouth slightly.

"Let's find a place to stay today. Once we contact Xingyun Pavilion, Xiao Yan will naturally pick us up."

With Ya Fei's words, everyone nodded and entered Luoxing City to look for a place to stay.

Let alone Ya Fei, Xiao Ning solved such things. He didn't visit the brothel for so many years in vain. He spoke and acted very quickly, and soon everyone moved in.

After settling down, Xiao Ning's old habit came back and he couldn't wait to greet the men of the Xiao family.

"Brothers, let's go out and have fun tonight. It's my treat!"

Xiao Ning waved his arm and led the brothers of the Xiao family to leave the hotel they had booked. Xiao Mei and the other sisters of the Xiao family looked at him with contempt. Xiao Mei even gave a direct evaluation of "a dog will always eat shit".

In one of the rooms, Yafei and Yaoye were arranged together. Yafei sat at the table sipping tea, and Yaoye, who had been silent from beginning to end, finally spoke at this moment.

"Why did you call me here as well?" Yao Ye looked at Ya Fei and asked softly, "The Black Horn Territory has just been rebuilt. As the leader of the Evil Prison, I shouldn't leave without permission."

Hearing Yao Ye's words, Ya Fei smiled softly and slowly put down the teacup.

"Indeed, it was irresponsible for His Highness Yao Ye to leave during the early stages of Black Horn Region's reconstruction." Ya Fei narrowed her charming eyes slightly, and looked at Yao Ye leisurely, "But since His Highness Yao Ye understood this truth, why did he agree to my request and come along?"

"If Your Highness Yaoye really doesn't want to come, I'm afraid we won't be able to bring you here just by relying on Yafei's words, right?"

"I"

Yao Ye was speechless and choked, and then fell into silence again.

The years of working together in the Black Horn Region made Yao Ye know Ya Fei very well. In terms of strength, Ya Fei was far inferior to himself, but in terms of scheming and cunning, even if ten of him were put together, they would still be fooled by Ya Fei.

And these years of getting along have also taught Yaoye how to deal with Yafei, which is to remain silent and not give her the chance to take him away.

Yafei looked at the silent Yaoye and smiled softly again.

"Your Highness Yaoye, do you like Xiao Yan?"

Yao Ye's shoulders trembled violently, and before he could say anything, Ya Fei continued.

"Then you have to understand one thing. If you continue to stay in the Black Horn Region, there will be no chance for you and Xiao Yan to be together in this life."

"Indeed, you accepted Xiao Yan's commission and have been doing your best to help him manage the Black Horn Region. Xiao Yan must be grateful to you in his heart."

"But, it's just gratitude. There will be no possibility of going further."

Yao Ye clenched his fists tightly under the table, and after a while he opened his mouth to make a weak defense.

"I don't like Xiao Yan. I help him manage the Black Horn Region just because I want to thank him for solving the problem of the Serpent People."

"Even if it means that you have repeatedly disobeyed Mr. Jia's orders to return?"

Ya Fei's simple words blocked Yao Ye's words again. Looking at Yao Ye's conflicted expression, Ya Fei smiled slightly and continued.

"Your Highness Yaoye, I am not saying these words to provoke you, and I am not calling you here just to expose your thoughts. I just want to ask you one thing."

Yafei stood up slowly, supported herself on the table with both hands, and looked closely at Yaoye.

"Regarding Xiao Yan, do you want to let go or not?"

"If you really want to let go, you can go back today. I will not stop you."

"But if you don't want to let go, I will do my best to help you."

Hearing Ya Fei's words, Yao Ye looked up at her in surprise, and asked blankly after a long time.

"Why are you doing this?"

What Yao Ye couldn’t understand was, if Ya Fei came to Zhongzhou for Xiao Yan, why would she help him?
"You ask why? It's very simple." Ya Fei raised her jade hand, lightly covered her chin, and revealed a charming smile, "I just don't want to be alone in this fight."

"You have to understand one thing, Your Highness Yaoye. The identities and backgrounds of Xiao Yan's current wives are almost beyond our reach. The only bargaining chip we can offer is that we have been doing our best to help Xiao Yan maintain the Black Horn Region that he values ​​so much."

"But you have to understand that this is far from enough. In Xiao Yan's eyes, there is no difference, but the fact is that the current Black Horn Region is of little value compared to the Tianhe Alliance. This also means that no matter how hard we work in the Black Horn Region, we will not be able to raise our status in Xiao Yan's heart to a higher level."

"Xiao Yan's vision now is no longer comparable to what it was before. If we want to truly enter his heart, we must do our best to climb up along with his vision and must use our actions to become someone who is indispensable in Xiao Yan's heart."

"Just like Xiao Yixian, she slowly, little by little improved her position in Xiao Yan's heart."

"Your Highness Yaoye, this may be our only chance in this life. I, Yafei, am absolutely unwilling to accept the result of regretting for the rest of my life because of my temporary retreat."

At this point, Ya Fei's eyes sparkled, and her charming voice became extremely serious.

“Even if I lose in the end, I will tell myself that I have tried hard, instead of just letting myself go.”

Ya Fei's words were like sharp swords piercing Yao Ye's heart. Looking at Ya Fei's eyes burning with fire, Yao Ye felt for the first time so clearly the persistence and unyielding spirit of this woman in front of him. (End of this chapter)
