Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Time flies by, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In Tianhe Alliance, Xiao Yan was staying in his room as usual, dealing with the piles of documents on the table. Gu Qinghan and Lei Jing were also sitting at the table nearby to help him.

The three of them have been dealing with these documents for a week straight and still haven't finished them. Every day when they finally finish all of them, Zijing will bring more documents the next day. It seems like there are endless documents and it makes their scalps tingle.

Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan's expressions were already accustomed to it, and apart from being a little tired, there was no other expression. However, Lei Jing's expression was visibly getting more and more impatient, and veins on his face were bulging, as if he was on the verge of exploding.

Finally, when Zijing brought a pile of documents for the umpteenth time, Lei Jing could no longer hold it in. She stood up suddenly and slammed the pen in her hand onto the table, breaking it into two pieces.

"It's not over yet, is it? Huh?!"

This roar was like a raging thunder, as if all the resentment that Lei Jing had accumulated over the past week had burst out. Xiao Yan and the other two did not react at all except that their ears felt dizzy from the shock. It seemed that they were not surprised by Lei Jing's outburst.

To be honest, you can tell from Lei Jing's personality that he is not the kind of person who can do this kind of thing with peace of mind. To be honest, it's really good that he can endure until now before exploding.

"Lei Jing, go and have a rest first. There are indeed too many documents this week." Xiao Yan pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly and looked up at Zijing, "Zijing, you should switch places with Lei Jing first."

Zijing nodded and was about to respond when Lei Jing, who had just thrown the pen on the table, spoke angrily with resentment.

"Need not!"

As he spoke, Lei Jing took out another pen from the pen holder and sat down to continue reviewing the documents.

She had taken the initiative to ask to be Xiao Yan's assistant. If she quit now, where would her dignity be? Moreover, she had survived for three years. What was this moment worth?
After hearing Lei Jing's words, Zijing did not speak again, considering Lei Jing's extraordinary dignity, but just quietly retreated, making the room quiet again, with only the sound of the three people's pens writing on paper.

Three years ago, after the incidents between the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan, the Soul Clan inexplicably suddenly settled down. In addition, the Soul Palace had been expelled from Zhongzhou, symbolizing that the entire Zhongzhou had been under the jurisdiction of the Tianhe Alliance. Xiao Yan also took the opportunity to vigorously develop the power of the Tianhe Alliance and people's livelihood.

There is no doubt that there will be countless new projects and troubles in the process of building people's livelihood, which is why Xiao Yan, Gu Qinghan and Lei Jing have almost no free time. Xiao Yan is also grateful from the bottom of his heart that he has these two assistants to help him, otherwise he really can't handle it alone.

Three years later, Xiao Yan's strength increased from the late four-star Douluo to the middle five-star Douluo, and Gu Qinghan also reached the late three-star Douluo.

Lei Jing was even more terrifying, having directly advanced from the late five-star Douluo to the late six-star Douluo. This was the result of her sitting in front of her desk with patience for almost the past three years. If she concentrated on practicing, it would be possible for her to break through to the seven-star Douluo.

Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan also sighed deeply at this. He was indeed worthy of being the prodigy who was famous among the eight clans and had been the focus of the Soul Clan. His talent could only be described as incredible. In comparison, Xun'er, who was also highly concerned by the eight clans, was far behind.

But to be honest, these three years of document processing were not completely unhelpful to Lei Jing. At least Lei Jing's temper is now obviously much more stable. This is natural. Anyone who patiently handles one document after another every day will become stable, and his thoughts and cognition have also improved a lot compared to three years ago.

It was not until the evening that the three of them finally finished processing the last pile of documents. Not to mention Lei Jing who seemed to be completely liberated, even Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over."

Xiao Yan stood up, slightly shrugging his stiff shoulders. Gu Qinghan also stood up and stretched.

At this time, the door of the room opened, and after Xiao Yan responded, a man pushed the door open. He had a gentle face and noble temperament. It was Ling Jingyan, the leader of the Ling clan.

Three years ago, with the help of Ling Qingya, an old elder of the Ling clan, he successfully retrieved the remnants of Ling Jingyan's soul from the Ling clan's forbidden land, helping her to break free from the dark and gloomy state of soul servant. Afterwards, Xiao Yan also used the soul remnants in the Ling clan's forbidden land to try his best to rescue the Ling people, but in the end only less than half of them succeeded in surviving.

Although Ling Jingyan was extremely sad about this, she was still grateful to Xiao Yan. If it weren't for Xiao Yan, not to mention half of her clansmen, even she would never have been able to come back.

Naturally, a blood feud was formed between the Spirit Clan and the Soul Clan. Ling Jingyan did not hesitate to move his entire clan from the Spirit Clan to Zhongzhou and joined the Tianhe Alliance, vowing to fully support all actions of the Tianhe Alliance. This was exactly what Ling Jingyan had planned before the Spirit Clan was attacked by the Soul Palace.

And because the Soul Clan's attack caused the death of half of the Spirit Clan's members, Ling Jingyan was even willing to voluntarily hand over the Spirit Clan's most valued memory core to the Tianhe Alliance for use. The Tianhe Alliance has been able to develop so smoothly and rapidly in the past three years, and this core that carries the continent's memory for thousands of years has definitely been of great help.

Ling Jingyan paid such a huge price for only one purpose.

That is to take revenge and make the Soul Clan pay for their blood debt with blood!
However, regarding the news that the Lingshi and Shi clans were attacked by the Soul Palace and the Shi clan was confirmed to be destroyed, the other eight clans were not aware of it. This was a decision made after Xiao Yan and the others discussed it.

It’s not that they are afraid that the four ancient tribes of Lei Yanyao will not believe it. The eldest daughter of the Lei tribe, Lei Jing, is an eyewitness. There is also Gu Yuan from the Ancient tribe, and there is also Ling Jingyan, the chief of the Ling tribe, as a witness. This will not give people any chance to doubt.

However, if the remaining eight ancient clans knew about this, they would certainly join hands to attack the Soul Clan. It sounds good, but one thing must be understood. Even if they join forces, it does not mean that these clans will trust each other. In the process of attacking the Soul Clan, it is hard to guarantee that they will not launch invasions on the other three clans and profit from it. No matter who takes action first, once someone opens this path, it will be completely unstoppable, and the whole world will fall into the melee of the ancient clans.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Yan finally decided not to make the matter public for the time being. Ling Jingyan and other Ling people who frequently went in and out of the Tianhe Alliance also concealed their identities and did not let the children of the eight ancient clans who were sent to the Tianhe Alliance for training know. It would be fine for others, but if even Ling Jingyan, the patriarch of the Ling clan, stayed in the Tianhe Alliance, then the affairs of the Ling clan and the Shi clan would basically be impossible to hide.

Ling Jingyan did not object after knowing Xiao Yan's decision. She knew very well that she and the rest of the Ling people were rescued by Xiao Yan, so she had no right to object.

Therefore, Ling Jingyan told Xiao Yan that as long as she could have the opportunity to take revenge on the Soul Clan, she would be willing to wait as long as possible.

During these three years, the Spirit Tribe mainly helped the Tianhe Alliance to establish schools and provide education. Due to the Spirit Tribe's talents, the Spirit Tribe members are generally more knowledgeable than other people. Xiao Yan assigned this area to the Spirit Tribe to be responsible for, which was a way to make use of their expertise.

"Executor Xiao, this is the progress of the establishment of a new batch of schools. Please approve it."

Ling Jingyan did not show any inappropriate arrogance towards this junior. She came to Xiao Yan respectfully and handed him a document.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yan nodded and took the document, then his eyes were somewhat helpless, "Senior, I told you that you don't have to be so respectful to a junior like me."

"No, this is what I should do. If it weren't for you, not only me, but the entire Eldar race would have become history forever. Moreover, the Eldar race today is no longer what it used to be. It is reasonable for me to respect you."

Ling Jingyan said this solemnly.

Yes, Ling Jingyan lived longer than Xiao Yan, but so what?
In the Douqi Continent, age is worthless compared to strength. With Xiao Yan's current strength and influence, not to mention the favor of saving the spirit race, Ling Jingyan would be willing to bow her head and become a slave.

Xiao Yan tapped his forehead lightly with a headache. Ling Jingyan had already left. Xiao Yan sighed lightly and stood up slowly. Lei Jing leaned back in the chair, put her long legs on the corner of the table, and pouted slightly.

"I never thought that I would have the opportunity to work with the leader of the Spirit Clan." He said this not as a mockery, but Lei Jing felt that things in the world are unpredictable. Ling Jingyan used to be equal to his father in status, not to mention his strength, but now he is willing to be Xiao Yan's subordinate. It is really unimaginable.

"Lei Jing, Qinghan, you should go back and rest. Zijing said that all the urgent matters have been dealt with recently. You can have a good rest for a few days."

Xiao Yan looked at the two of them and said softly, Lei Jing's mood instantly improved.

"It's finally over! If it happens one more day, I'll really go crazy!" Lei Jing stood up from the chair, opened the door and waved to the two of them, "Goodbye! Don't bother me these few days!"

Bang!
Looking at the heavily closed door, Xiao Yan and Gu Qinghan both showed helpless expressions on their faces. Xiao Yan looked at Gu Qinghan and said again.

"Qinghan, you should go back first. You have worked hard these past few days."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Gu Qinghan shook his head slightly.

"No, I'll finish the rest with you before going back."

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan was stunned, and Gu Qinghan came to his side, bent down, picked up the pile of documents that Xiao Yan had hidden at his feet, and looked at Xiao Yan with a teasing look on his embarrassed expression.

"I'm not very tired either. The two of us can finish the rest very quickly."

Xiao Yan looked at the smiling Gu Qinghan and chuckled after a while.

"Then trouble you."

Xiao Yan took half of the document from Gu Qinghan's hand and placed it in front of himself, while Gu Qinghan returned to his seat with the remaining half. The two of them sat down again and started working on it.

"By the way, how is Xiao Yixian doing recently?"

While reviewing the documents, Gu Qinghan asked this, and Xiao Yan responded softly.

"I don't feel very well. Yi'er has been very noisy recently. I feel that Xiao Yixian has lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, Yun Yun and the others helped." Xiao Yan's eyes showed guilt as he said this. He smiled bitterly and said, "I am such an irresponsible husband and father. I left all the household chores to my wife and stayed outside all day."

"Don't say that. You have done your best in your position. Xiao Yixian will definitely understand you."

Gu Qinghan glanced at Xiao Yan and said comfortingly.

Xiao Yi, the fruit of Xiao Yixian's dream love with Xiao Yan, is a very well-behaved son who was born at the beginning of this year and is only five months old now.

Perhaps due to the influence of the evil poison body, Xiao Yi was born with white hair. Just as Xiao Yixian had expected, he inherited her evil poison body, but fortunately, he was still young and the symptoms did not show up.

Even so, Xiao Yixian, who was a mother for the first time, felt helpless about the new life born from her body. Fortunately, Yun Yun, Feng Qing'er and others were always there to help, which relieved a lot of pressure for Xiao Yixian.

Every time this happened, Xiao Yixian would feel sincere admiration for Yun Yun. Other people either gave birth to magical beasts that did not require much worry, or had other people around to help take care of them. At that time, Yun Yun almost raised Yun Xiao by herself. In Xiao Yixian's eyes, she was really amazing.

Soon, the two finished processing the remaining documents and said goodbye to each other.

"you should also rest earlier."

"Ah."

After leaving these words, Xiao Yan left the Tianhe Alliance. Looking at Xiao Yan's back, the smile on Gu Qinghan's lips gradually disappeared, replaced by an irrepressible sadness.

The expression on Xiao Yan's face just now was filled with happiness of being able to visit his wife and children soon, which made Gu Qinghan envious from the bottom of his heart.

I have already made up my mind. As long as I can stay with Xiao Yan silently, it will be fine, even if he doesn't know my feelings for him.

However, every time Gu Qinghan saw Xiao Yan and his wife and children having fun, he felt deeply lonely. He had no one to talk to and could only digest it silently by himself.

During these three years, Xiao Yixian has hinted more than once that if Gu Qinghan wanted, she would help persuade Xiao Yan to accept. Xiao Yixian was well aware of Gu Qinghan's feelings for Xiao Yan, and Gu Qinghan had always helped Xiao Yan and her. Xiao Yixian was willing to help her get out of the situation of unrequited love.

However, Gu Qinghan refused every time.

She didn't want to say that after she did, she and Xiao Yan wouldn't even be able to be friends, even if it was just a possibility.

If he and Xiao Yan were really strangers, Gu Qinghan would rather just stay by his side and help him quietly as a friend.

More importantly, she didn't want to make things difficult for Xiao Yan. Even if she, Xiao Yixian, and even Xiao Yan's other wives were willing, it would indeed go against Xiao Yan's true intentions.

"what"

Gu Qinghan let out a long sigh, looked up at the night sky that was already full of stars, and a slightly melancholy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It was her luck to fall in love with someone like Xiao Yan.

But unfortunately, more than one person likes Xiao Yan, and it seems that he has arrived a little too late.

Gu Qinghan looked at the night sky with blurred eyes and couldn't help fantasizing in his mind.

If it was me instead of Xun'er who was sent to the Xiao family, would my relationship with Xiao Yan be closer than it is now? (End of this chapter)
