Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Outside the Tianhe Alliance, Xun'er stood in the morning light, as beautiful as a newly blooming peony.

Her eyes seemed to be the brightest stars in the night sky, deep and mysterious, flashing with desire and curiosity for life, her eyelashes gently swept across like a fan, and every blink seemed to be playing a moving piece of music, the sun fell on her black hair, her face was delicate, and her skin was like the most exquisite porcelain, smooth and shiny. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, blooming a gentle and confident smile, as if it could instantly melt the frost and make the air around her warm.

Xun'er, dressed in a dark blue cheongsam, swayed gently in the wind, like the blue water plants in a clear spring. Every movement she made revealed her elegance and composure, and she seemed like a woman walking out of a classical painting, quiet and vivid.

The world around her seemed to stop for her, the flowers, plants and trees also bowed their heads in admiration, as if the sunlight also stopped for her beauty. Xun'er's existence itself is a dreamlike and picturesque scenery, which makes people stop and appreciate it involuntarily, and feel the beauty radiating from the inside out.

This dreamy woman who seemed to have walked out of a painting had anticipation in her eyes. She fiddled with her hair and clothes from time to time to ensure that she could be seen in the best image by Xiao Yan after a long separation. Her face showed a slightly seductive blush due to fantasy.

Gu Nanhai and Gu Lin, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but sigh when they saw their young lady's appearance.

[Xun'er can pursue whoever she wants, and if anyone dares to interfere, don't blame me for being angry! ]

It was very strange. Ever since Gu Yuan returned to the tribe after disappearing for a few days three years ago, he had changed his usual easy-going demeanor and spoke these words directly to the elders, leaving no room for argument.

Although Gu Yuan did not explicitly say who Xun'er was pursuing, everyone knew it, which meant that Gu Yuan was now openly supporting Xun'er and Xiao Yan to be together.

As for this matter, the elders such as Gu Nanhai could not say anything more. This was a rare instance of Gu Yuan's arbitrary decision-making in thousands of years, which was enough to show his inner determination. Saying more would be a slap in Gu Yuan's face.

Gu Nanhai and the others knew very well that the reason why Gu Yuan discussed everything in the clan with them before was because Gu Yuan himself did not want to monopolize power. If Gu Yuan had a stronger character and with his strength, how could they, the elders, be involved in various family affairs, including Xun'er's marriage?
As for the engagement with the Thunder Clan, Gu Yuan simply said not to worry, he would take care of it. This completely shut up the elders of the Gu Clan.

Although they were confused about how Gu Yuan would explain to the Thunder Clan, since Gu Yuan had already said so, they couldn't continue to disagree.

When Xun'er learned about this, she was extremely excited, and immediately wanted to leave the Ancient Clan to find Xiao Yan, but unfortunately, Xun'er was at a critical period of breakthrough at that time, so she had to give up this idea for the time being and stay in the Ancient Clan for retreat. Three years later, Xun'er finally came out of retreat, and the first thing she did was to go back to her residence, change her clothes, and run over with the Ancient Clan envoys.

The development of Tianhe League in the past three years also made Gu Nanhai and others feel relieved. Although they knew they could not interfere, in their previous cognition, Xiao Yan's strength and talent were sufficient, but his status was far from Xun'er. This was the reason why they had tried to block him before.

But now, there is no such concern.

Today's Tianhe Alliance has grown to the point that even the ancient clans can no longer ignore it. Gu Nanhai and others could not understand how Xiao Yan could have developed the relatively ordinary Tianhe Alliance to its current level in just three years. The Yao, Lei and Yan clans have changed their previous attitude of not paying much attention to it and are vying to form an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance.

Today's Tianhe Alliance is not much worse than the eight clans standing at the top of the world, and this is the result achieved under the leadership of Xiao Yan, a junior. How can it not be amazing?

It can be said that as long as Xiao Yan proposes to the Gu clan for Xun'er now, not to mention Gu Yuan who already supports it, even Gu Nanhai and others who originally opposed it will agree with it.

At this moment, the door of Tianhe League was pushed open again. Xun'er immediately looked straight ahead and saw the man who had been haunting her dreams.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xun'er's face was filled with joy. She took nimble steps and came to Xiao Yan, looking at the person in front of her who she had been thinking about with great joy.

Xun'er's sudden approach made Xiao Yan slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked up and down at Xun'er with his blue eyes, and gently raised his hand to rub Xun'er's head as he did when they were children.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Xun'er has become even prettier. I almost didn't come out."

Looking at Xiao Yan's blue eyes, Xun'er's smile remained unchanged, but a sense of loss emerged in her heart.

She could tell from this that Xiao Yan really didn't have any extra thoughts in his mind and was just looking at his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Sure enough, no matter how beautiful and eye-catching her image was, she couldn't make Brother Xiao Yan treat her as a woman.
Xun'er thought so, but soon shook her head and became excited again.

Now not only does my father openly support me, but even the elders have no objection, and I will no longer be restricted in every way like before.

Xun'er felt confident from the bottom of her heart. She just didn't have the chance to develop feelings with Xiao Yan before, but now that the objective conditions have been met, she will definitely be able to win Xiao Yan's heart through her own efforts!

At this moment, Xun'er glanced and saw Lei Jing and Gu Qinghan following behind Xiao Yan. She smiled and raised her hand to greet them.

"Sister Qinghan, Leidong, long time no see~"

"Ah, long time no see."

Gu Qinghan looked a little embarrassed and gave a forced smile. Lei Jing did not respond at all, but just nodded slightly, crossed his arms and turned his head away with a guilty look.

At this time, Xun'er, whose mind had not yet recovered from the joy of meeting Xiao Yan after a long separation, did not notice anything unusual between the two. Then, Xun'er suddenly realized something and looked at Lei Jing in surprise.

"Lei Dong, what is your identity?"

Although Lei Jing's appearance at this time is still relatively masculine, she is no longer like Lei Dong who disguised herself as before. Now one can tell at a glance that she is a woman.

"Ah, something happened before, and I felt it was troublesome to hide it, so I was too lazy to hide it any more." Lei Jing raised his hand and pressed his neck, and replied uncomfortably: "Anyway, with my strength now, I don't have to hide it deliberately. It's also troublesome to pretend to be a man all day long."

After hearing this, Xun'er nodded in understanding, while Gu Nanhai and Gu Lin behind Xun'er were both stunned.

Is that Lei Ying's son Lei Dong? How did he become a girl?
Wait? A female?
Gu Nanhai and Gu Lin suddenly realized something, their pupils shrank, and they looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Lei Jing! She's still alive?!
The two finally understood why Gu Yuan could directly say that Lei Dong and Xun'er's engagement did not need to be worried, because this engagement was simply a cover-up and was only for the purpose of better protecting Lei Jing. Others did not know, but Lei Ying and Gu Yuan must have known it clearly!

Just as the two were shocked, Xiao Yan had already passed Xun'er and came in front of Gu Nanhai and Gu Lin, clasping his fists and bowing to them.

"Elder Nanhai, Elder Gulin, long time no see. On behalf of the Tianhe League, I welcome the Ancient Clan."

Xiao Yan's respectful greeting brought the two back to their senses. Gu Nanhai nodded slightly in response, while Gu Lin looked at Xiao Yan strangely.

For some reason, the look in Xiao Yan's eyes when he looked at him just now had some inexplicable meaning?
Gulin thought about it for a moment, but finally put it out of his mind, thinking that he was just overthinking it.

Previously, the elders of the clan discussed and decided to let Gu Qinghan replace Xun'er in marrying Xiao Yan, but later it was shelved because Gu Qinghan unilaterally disagreed. Gu Lin, as a father, did not take the matter to heart anymore. Now that Xun'er has been completely freed, it is probably only a matter of time before she and Xiao Yan succeed. This means that there will be no further development between Gu Qinghan and Xiao Yan.

Compared to this, Gulin is more concerned about his daughter whom he has not seen for three years.

Gulin's gaze drifted towards Gu Qinghan, with a look of relief in his eyes.

He believed that his daughter would never do anything to harm the ancient clan, but even so, he could only let her bear the stigma of a traitor, which made Gulin, as a father, feel extremely uncomfortable.

And now seeing that Gu Qinghan had lived a good life in Tianhe League for the past three years, this also made him, as a father, feel relieved. Xiao Yan keenly noticed Gu Lin's eyes, understood in his heart, and turned back to look at Gu Qinghan.

"Qinghan, this is Elder Gulin's first visit to the Tianhe League. He must have many things he wants to know. You will be responsible for entertaining him. Lei Jing and I will receive the others."

"Ok!"

Gu Qinghan nodded slightly excitedly, as she also missed her father very much. After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Gulin gave him a grateful look. Then Gu Qinghan came up to him, forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and looked at Gulin with a serious face.

"Elder Gulin, I'll take you to the Tianhe Alliance for a stroll."

"it is good."

Gulin stabilized his expression and nodded lightly.

Gu Qinghan's current identity is a traitor to the Gu clan. Although the people above know what is going on, the traitor in the Gu clan has not been found out yet. Innocent people from the Gu clan were indeed killed that day. For the sake of the stability of the Gu clan, Gu Qinghan and his friends can only continue to bear the blame for the time being. Therefore, as an elder, he cannot act too close to her in public.

While watching Gu Qinghan leading Gu Lin into the Tianhe Alliance, Xiao Yan also looked towards Gu Nanhai.

"Elder Nanhai, if the Ancient Clan envoys have no other plans today, they can temporarily stay at the Tianhe League. I will do my best to entertain you as a good host."

"Then trouble you."

Gu Nanhai nodded slightly. Ever since he stopped objecting to Xun'er pursuing Xiao Yan, he liked Xiao Yan more and more.

To put it bluntly, they shouldn't have disliked Xiao Yan before. He was good-looking, powerful, had a good personality, and was polite. His current status was on par with the eight clans. Xiao Yan had a pretty good relationship with the Ancient Clan. Why did they dislike him?

Afterwards, Xiao Yan ordered people to arrange the ancient clan's envoys, and he invited Gu Nanhai to his office. After all, since he had already come as an envoy, he had to receive him in person regardless of whether there was anything to discuss or not. It was impossible for him to just leave and ignore him.

"Lei Jing, I'll leave Xun'er in your care for now."

Xiao Yan said this to Lei Jing. After all, Lei Jing was the young patriarch of the Lei clan. Some of Gu Nanhai's topics might not be suitable for Lei Jing to be present. Even though Lei Jing was now Xiao Yan's deputy, Gu Nanhai could not avoid being cautious.

"Ah."

Lei Jing naturally knew the answer to this and nodded slightly. She was just straightforward, but not as brainless as Lei Xuan.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan and Gu Nanhai went to Xiao Yan's office, while Lei Jing stayed alone with Xun'er. It was at this time that Lei Jing suddenly realized something and felt guilty.

Before Lei Jing could recover, Xun'er looked at her with her hands behind her back and smiled.

"Sister Lei Jing, I can finally call you by your name. Let me say it again. Long time no see~"

"Ahh, long time no see."

Looking at Xun'er's smile that was full of pure kindness, Lei Jing felt more and more guilty. She was always straightforward, but at this moment she felt embarrassed. She didn't dare to continue facing Xun'er and turned away.

"Let's go. There's nothing to do right now. I'll take you around the Tianhe League."

"Hmm~"

Xun'er smiled and nodded, and followed Lei Jing around the Tianhe Alliance. On the way, she met many people from the Tianhe Alliance. Although they didn't know Xun'er, they all nodded and greeted Lei Jing.

Seeing this, Xun'er said to Lei Jing with a smile.

"Sister Lei Jing, it seems that you are very popular in Tianhe League."

"Oh, it's okay. It's just because I'm Xiao Yan's deputy and more people know me. It's nothing special."

Lei Jing answered like this, Xun'er nodded suddenly, and then looked at her expectantly.

"Sister Lei Jing, how is it?"

"Ah? How about what?"

Xun'er's inexplicable question made Lei Jing slightly confused, and then Xun'er continued.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to be Brother Xiao Yan's assistant in order to get a better idea of ​​what kind of person he is?" Xun'er said this with a proud look on her face. "How is it? You've been with Brother Xiao Yan for three years, so you must have clearly understood what an excellent man he is, right?"

Although Xun'er's words were a question, her tone was full of affirmation. She had such faith in Xiao Yan. At first, Lei Jing might not like Xiao Yan, but now she has been with Xiao Yan for three years and will definitely agree with Xiao Yan.

Hearing Xun'er's words, Lei Jing's shoulders couldn't help but tremble, and his already guilty heart became even more guilty.

"Okay"

Lei Jing really didn't know what to say to Xun'er, but after hearing her perfunctory words, Xun'er immediately felt that Lei Jing still didn't quite approve of her pursuit of Xiao Yan, and her eyes suddenly became anxious.

I have finally gotten rid of the restrictions of my family, and I cannot let other people’s opposition hold me back, even if it’s Lei Jing, whom I respect very much!

Therefore, in order to make Lei Jing support him from the bottom of her heart, he must let her thoroughly understand the good of Xiao Yan!

Thinking of this, Xun'er pulled Lei Jing's arm and turned her towards herself, looking at her seriously.

"Sister Lei Jing, I think you must be too busy to have time to get to know Brother Xiao Yan in depth." Xun'er said this with a firm look in her eyes, "Don't worry! I will stay here for the time being, and I will try my best to let you and Brother Xiao Yan spend time together alone. After a while, you will definitely be able to deeply understand how good Brother Xiao Yan is!"

"."

Lei Jing looked at the excited Xun'er, his brows and mouth corners twitching uncontrollably.

Although she knew from the bottom of her heart how good Xiao Yan was and she liked her sister Xun'er very much, she still couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

No wonder you and Xiao Yan haven't been together yet, Xun'er, you really deserve it. (End of this chapter)
