Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

The old woman's eyes suddenly widened in anger, and a fierce aura burst out from her body, scaring King Hei Yan so much that his heart trembled violently.

Then the old woman stood up from the bench, her old and scary eyes seemed to be spewing flames, and she roared angrily at Gu Lie.

"Your Majesty!"

thump!
Without any hesitation, Gu Lie bent his knees and knelt directly in front of the old woman. If the Black Yan Army saw that their boss, who they thought was nothing but majestic, kneeled here like a child and was criticized, they would be scared. Fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the street here, otherwise Gu Lie, the Black Yan King, would have completely lost face.

Even so, the few passers-by were looking in amazement at Gu Lie who was kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head. Some of those who knew him were even more shocked and looked at the old woman in surprise.

This old woman sets up a stall here every day to sell jewelry. They are all used to it, but they didn't expect that this old woman could make King Hei Yan kneel down. What is her identity?
At this time, Gu Lie, who was kneeling on the ground, had no time to think about whether it was embarrassing or not. Beads of sweat were streaming down his head, and he was cursing that group of elders in his heart.

Damn it! You old guys just open your mouths and say whatever you want, and in the end you make me get scolded!
Gu Lie really felt wronged, his duty was only to lead the Black Annihilation Army and be ready to accept the family's dispatch at any time. As for the family marriage, it had nothing to do with him. But just because Xun'er was replaced by Gu Qinghan, the elders called him over to discuss the matter.

Just call him. After listening to the elders, Gu Lie also felt that there was nothing wrong with it from the family's perspective. Moreover, Gu Lin, Gu Qinghan's biological father, agreed. Why would his superior disagree? Is it necessary to hand him over to discuss this matter? Isn't it enough to just tell him the result directly?

It was only afterwards that Gu Lie realized that these old guys were more cunning than the other. They all knew how much the old woman valued Gu Qinghan, and they called him over to discuss this matter just to make him take the blame!
That’s her mother!!!

I won't talk about the other three. Gulin, you, as a father, didn't even show up for your daughter's affairs, and let an outsider like me take the blame. Do you have the nerve to do that? Where's your face?!

But no matter how Gu Lie cursed in his heart, it was a foregone conclusion that he was kneeling here and being criticized by the old woman.

What can I do? Just bear with it.

"Gulie! What on earth do those guys want to do?!"

"They don't fight when they should, and they are more skillful than the other in doing such unscrupulous things as selling their children for profit!"

"Xun'er is pitiful enough, but since she is the daughter of the tribe leader, she is the only one who can handle the marriage with the Thunder Clan. I accept her as an old woman, but why should Qinghan be arranged by you?!"

"Has the Ancient Clan been so disgraced now? Do we have to rely on marriage to solve everything?! Then we might as well just disband the clan!"

"How dare you call yourself the best of the eight clans? You call yourself the descendant of an ancient emperor, looking down on everyone and everyone, but the things you do are more despicable than the last. If you were an ordinary family, you wouldn't even be willing to sell your children! If you don't find it embarrassing, I, an old woman, would!"

The old woman pointed at Gulie's nose and cursed him more and more fiercely. Gulie knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to say a word.

Just like that, the dignified Black Annihilation King Gulie knelt on the ground and was scolded by the old woman in the street for a full ten minutes. The old woman's anger, which had reached its peak, gradually subsided. She seemed to be tired of scolding, and she bent her legs and sat back on the bench.

Gu Lie, who was dizzy from being scolded, raised his head carefully and looked at the old woman who was breathing rapidly due to anger, and said with concern.

"Well, I'll get you a glass of water, and you can continue slowly."

Gu Lie was so humble at this moment. He had never been so humble in front of the old woman or Gu Yuan.

The old woman glared at him fiercely, then let out a long sigh, her voice extremely low.

"who is it?"

"what?"

Gu Lie was stunned for a moment, probably because he had just been scolded for more than ten minutes, and he didn't react for a while, which made the old woman angry again and knocked on the stall violently.

"I'm asking you who Qinghan's marriage partner is!"

The old woman gritted her teeth in disappointment. Although she was angry just now, she also knew in her heart that since the elders, including Gu Lin, Gu Qinghan's father, had agreed, it meant that only Gu Qinghan was qualified to take on this matter. So the old woman was not completely unreasonable. She would ask in advance who the marriage partner was and see what the other person was like. If he was acceptable, she could barely tolerate it. But if the other person was a piece of mud, the old woman would run to Gu Yuan and point at his nose and scold him rather than let this marriage be established.

"Oh! Oh!" Gu Lie came back to his senses and said quickly: "You should have heard of him too. It's Xiao Yan, the executor of the Tianhe League."

"I see. The executor of the Tianhe League. Hmm?"

The old woman was just thinking about the other party's identity when she suddenly reacted and looked at Gu Lie in surprise.

"Xiao Yan?"

"Yes! It's Xiao Yan!"

Gu Lie nodded repeatedly, and the old woman's eyes revealed confusion.

"But I heard that Xiao Yan is the sweetheart of Xun'er. Why is he marrying Qinghan again?"

"Well, he is said to be my lover, but it is just Miss Xun'er's unrequited love. In addition, Miss Xun'er is engaged to Lei Dong, and Xiao Yan's family background is far from enough. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the two of them to be together." Seeing that the old woman's expression had eased a little, Gu Lie hurriedly explained: "But Xiao Yan's strength and talent are indeed extraordinary. In addition, he founded the Tianhe League that covers the entire Zhongzhou. The elders don't want to miss this potential stock. After thinking about it, they think that the most suitable choice is to let Qinghan and Xiao Yan get married."

"."

The old woman didn't say anything, her brows slightly furrowed. Gu Lie didn't dare to speak again. He looked at the old woman tremblingly, waiting for her reply.

After a long time, the old woman raised her head slightly, glanced at Gu Lie who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly.

"Get up."

Become!

Gu Lie was ecstatic. Seeing the old woman's expression, it was obvious that she half agreed. However, he controlled his expression very well and did not show it. He supported himself with his knees and stood up from the ground.

"I just met Xiao Yan. Although we didn't talk much, I can feel that this kid is really good."

The old woman gently stroked her chin and whispered this, which made Gu Lie feel a little more relaxed, but at the same time he was extremely shocked.

What did Xiao Yan do to make the old woman who was always displeased with this and that have such an evaluation? What did Xiao Yan do to make the old woman think so highly of him?

You have to know that in the past thousand years, even the clan leader Gu Yuan has never received a word of recognition from the old woman. Instead, he was scolded by the old woman every few decades. Xiao Yan has just been here for less than a day, and he is already praised by the old woman? Is he really a human?

"Help me put away the stall and the bench." The old woman stood up with the help of the table. Gu Lie came to his senses and hurriedly bent down to help the old woman put away the stall and get the bench, not even daring to use his fighting spirit.

After collecting everything, Gu Lie held a lot of things in his arms, which looked quite funny. No one could believe that this timid man was actually the Black Annihilation King of the Gu Clan.

Gu Lie didn't care about his image at all. He looked at the old woman and asked carefully.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll go and examine this boy for Qinghan. After all, we've only met once, so we need to get to know him better. You can leave the things at my house and go about your business."

The old woman left these words and walked slowly with her hands behind her back in the direction where Xiao Yan had left earlier.

Gu Lie looked at the old woman's gradually receding back, then looked down at the thing in his hand, his expression conflicted.

Should I put the things back first, or follow them with the things?
Although the old woman told him to put the things down and mind his own business, Gu Lie couldn't feel at ease. The old woman had finally given in a little, and if Xiao Yan did something that made the old woman unhappy, all her efforts would be in vain.

Finally, Gu Lie gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and quickly caught up with the old woman with a bunch of things in his arms.

It is true that the things the old woman sold at the stall were not worth much money in the Gu clan. With Gu Lie's status, it would not matter if he just threw them away, but he didn't dare to do so. He could only hold on to them.

Not long after, the two of them walked to the street ahead, one after the other, only to find that the pedestrians ahead had formed a circle. There was a lot of noise in the circle, as if they were arguing about something.

The old woman raised her brows slightly, her gaze turned to the attic next to her, and she stood on the tiles of the roof in a flash. Gu Lie also stood up right after the old woman. The two of them looked together and saw very clearly the people making noise in the crowd. Among them was Xiao Yan, who had just taken the jewelry from the old woman and left.

As for the other side, they were wearing the uniforms of the Black Annihilation Army and were aggressive towards Xiao Yan. He had some impression of the leader, Gu Lie. He seemed to be a soldier under the Third Commander Yang Hao?
(What the hell is this kid trying to do?!)

Gu Lie's expression suddenly changed. He was of course aware that these young people from the Gu Clan did not have a very good impression of Xiao Yan. They all felt that Xiao Yan was not worthy of being cared about so much by Xun'er, so it was not surprising that they came to cause trouble for Xiao Yan.

But the key point is, now is the critical period for Xiao Yan to leave a good impression on this old woman. Do these brats want to stop mixing with the gang?

"I'll go down and talk about it!"

As Gu Lie was about to go down, the old woman raised her hand to stop him and said calmly.

"Watch."

"Forehead"

Gu Lie's expression froze. Although he was very conflicted, the old woman had spoken and he did not have the courage to disobey. He could only continue to stand behind the old woman obediently, praying in his heart.

Xiao Yan, please don't do anything out of line.
In the crowd below, Xiao Yan looked helplessly at the captain of the Black Annihilation Army standing opposite him, the man who called himself Ling Quan.

Just now, Xiao Yan passed by a restaurant here and felt that the jelly here seemed a little different from the one in Zhongzhou, so he sat down and ate a bowl. Since he was already here and had nothing to do, he might as well take it as a day off.

However, because Xiao Yan did not have the currency of the Ancient Clan, he discussed with the store owner in advance to exchange it for a fifth-grade elixir. To be honest, a fifth-grade elixir is not cheap outside, but it is really ordinary in the Ancient Clan. However, it is enough to exchange for a bowl of jelly.

This is because Xiao Yan has seen a lot over the years, and his threshold for these things has been greatly raised. If he was still in the Jia Ma Empire, he would have to spend a fifth-grade elixir to buy a bowl of jelly, and Xiao Yan would never do such a wasteful behavior even if he was beaten to death.

The shop owner also agreed. After accepting a fifth-grade medicinal pill from Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan also got the jelly. To be honest, the taste was very different from that in Zhongzhou. It had a flavor that had been passed down through the years. It was conceivable that this restaurant had been around for quite some time.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Yan also stood up to leave. However, as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he was stopped by Ling Quan and his men. Without giving any explanation, they started to loudly accuse Xiao Yan of eating and dashing. The noise also attracted passers-by, so Xiao Yan couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

If this were to happen, it would really be a reality.

"How dare you be so arrogant when you come from outside? How dare you eat a free meal?"

Xiao Yan looked at Ling Quan who was pointing at him arrogantly and frowned slightly. After building up his power for so many years, Xiao Yan certainly understood that Ling Quan came here specifically to cause trouble for him.

Was it the will of the elders of the ancient tribe? Or was it their own initiative?
Xiao Yan thought so and responded.

"Xiao did not eat a free meal. I have already paid for the meal with pills."

"But you ate two bowls and only paid for one!" Lingquan angrily accused, pulling the waiter over, "Tell me! How many bowls did he pay for?"

The clerk who was dragged over by Lingquan looked at Lingquan, then at Xiao Yan, and after weighing the pros and cons, he spoke tremblingly.

"This guest said he didn't have the ancient tribe's currency, so he used a fifth-grade elixir to exchange for a bowl of jelly. Then he ate two bowls of jelly and only gave me a fifth-grade elixir."

Hearing the clerk's words, Xiao Yan frowned, while Ling Quan became even more arrogant.

"Listen! Listen! The witnesses are all here, and you still want to deny it?" Lingquan turned around and looked at the onlookers, "Everyone, look at this foreigner. He came to our Gu clan. We Gu clan members kindly let him try our Gu clan's specialty jelly, but he shamelessly ate and ate for free? How can we tolerate this?"

"cannot!!!"

As soon as Ling Quan finished speaking, the Black Annihilation Army soldiers following behind him responded in unison, and the pedestrians around were silent and watched quietly.

Then Ling Quan pointed at Xiao Yan proudly and said loudly.

"Xiao Yan! This small restaurant does business honestly all day long, but you, an outsider, come here and eat a free meal. After eating, you want to leave relying on your strength. Aren't you bullying an honest person?!" Ling Quan waved his arms vigorously and scolded angrily, "Unless you pay the restaurant for the extra bowl of rice today, you can't leave!"

"Don't even think about leaving! Don't even think about leaving! Don't even think about leaving!"

When Ling Quan finished speaking, the Black Army behind him also raised their arms and shouted in unison. On the roof of the attic, Gu Lie's face turned green as he watched Ling Quan and the Black Army behind him blatantly slandering people. At this time, the old woman glanced at him slightly, sighed lightly, and turned back.

Although he didn't say anything, or perhaps it was precisely because he didn't say anything that Gu Lie felt ashamed and really wanted to find a hole to bury himself in. The resentment in his heart soared.

You little bastards, just wait for me! (End of this chapter)
