Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Tianhe Alliance, Yan Jin, who was invited by Zijing to the reception room, sat on the sofa with a frown on his face. He was now basically certain that the Fire Spirit Fairy's child was Xiao Yan's, so he was thinking about what to say and how to say it when he saw Xiao Yan.

Accountability?

No, no, we haven't figured out what happened yet. If we go straight to the point of asking for culpability, what if the problem isn't with Xiao Yan? Moreover, even if it's really Xiao Yan's fault, the Tianhe Alliance can't ask the Yan Clan to punish him.

So. Take the initiative to show goodwill?

Admittedly, this is the most appropriate choice in terms of the family's interests, but Yan Jin felt a little uncomfortable.

Putting aside irrelevant issues such as age and seniority, my sister went out and had sex with a man, and then went back to her parents' home with her child alone. As her brother, not only was he not angry, but he took the initiative to go to the man's house and show his goodwill. This feels too cowardly.

How should we talk about this?
Just as Yan Jin was thinking hard, Zijing pushed the door open and walked in, leading the staff to serve a series of fruits and desserts to Yan Jin and the Yan clan envoys. Zijing also respectfully poured a cup of tea for Yan Jin.

"Chief Yan, please have some tea."

"Oh, thank you." Yan Jin came back to his senses from his contemplation, nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows and asked back: "You are. Warcraft?"

As the strongest man, Yan Jin could clearly feel the aura of the demon beast on Zijing and asked this question casually.

Zijing did not hide anything, or rather, there was no need to hide anything. She put one hand behind her back and gently stroked her chest with the other hand, and answered very politely and gently.

"I'm sorry for not introducing myself right away. My name is Zijing, and my real body is the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Executor Xiao is my stepfather."

Stepfather?

Yan Jin was slightly stunned, but he had heard that several of Xiao Yan's wives were magical beasts, so he was not too surprised.

After introducing herself, Zijing looked apologetic.

"I'm very sorry. My father should have received such an honorable guest as Patriarch Yan with great respect as soon as possible. But unfortunately, my father just left not long ago. It may take a day or two for him to come back. I hope Patriarch Yan can forgive me."

Xiao Yan is not here?

Yan Jin was suddenly stunned. Did he make this trip in vain?
But at least one conclusion could be drawn from Zijing's words, that is, Xiao Yan did come out alive. In this case, regardless of how to deal with the matter of the Fire Spirit Fairy, it is very necessary for the alliance between the Yan Clan and the Tianhe Alliance to continue.

Just as this thought popped up in Yan Jin's mind, Zi Jing continued.

"Although father is not here, his two wives are willing to receive you on his behalf. If you have any urgent questions, you can discuss them with them. Although they cannot fully represent father's opinions, they can indeed decide many things on his behalf. What do you think?"

After hearing Zijing's words, Yan Jin frowned and thought secretly in his heart.

Everyone knew that Xiao Yan had several wives, but no one thought there was a problem with it. For someone of his status, it would be a big deal for you to have hundreds or even thousands of wives, let alone a few. No one would have any objection to this.

It’s just that Xiao Yan’s wife, in terms of her status, is a little incompatible with the affairs of the Fire Spirit Fairy. What if they don’t know about this yet, wouldn’t it make Xiao Yan unhappy if I expose this matter?
No. Xiao Yan's wife will know about this sooner or later. And from what Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi said before, Xiao Yan seems to respect his wife very much and never hides anything from them. Maybe Xiao Yan has already told them about this when he came back.

After thinking it over again and again in his mind, Yan Jin finally made a decision.

Let's meet and talk to them about the alliance first. At least let them know the Yan Clan's friendly inclinations first. As for the matter of the Fire Spirit Fairy, I will talk to Xiao Yan about it later.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to invite the two ladies."

Yan Jin said so, Zi Jing bowed slightly respectfully and then left the reception room.

Not long after Zijing left, the door of the reception room was pushed open again. Zijing pushed the door open and waited at the door, while Yunyun and Cailin walked in one after another.

Yan Jin was stunned when he saw the two of them. In terms of temperament, Yun Yun and Cai Lin had their own merits compared to the Fire Spirit Fairy, and in terms of appearance, they were equally good.

Appearance can be changed at will, but temperament is not so easy to cultivate. Just from the temperament of Yun Yun and Cai Lin, one can almost judge Xiao Yan's excellence.

However, what surprised Yan Jin was that Yun Yun's strength was only that of a Dou Zun. What surprised her even more was that the Cai Lin behind her, whose strength was already at the six-star Dou Sheng level, seemed to be led by her.

The strong are respected, this is an absolute truth. The fact that Tianhe League has been able to become so big and strong is definitely inseparable from the word "strength". However, Yan Jin never expected that such a powerful force as Tianhe League is actually managed by just a Dou Zun.

However, although the opponent's strength was very low in his eyes, Yan Jin did not underestimate it at all. In the nearly one year since Xiao Yan disappeared, Yun Yun was in charge of the Tianhe League. If she really had no ability, it would be impossible for the Tianhe League to maintain peace until now.

It was also the first time that Yun Yun and Cai Lin saw the patriarch of the Yan clan. Perhaps because of their gender, most male practitioners did not care about their apparent age, so compared to female practitioners, most male practitioners looked older.

I had heard before that the Fire Spirit Fairy was Yan Jin's biological sister, but if you ignore the temperaments of the two, after comparing them, they look more like father and daughter than brother and sister.

Then Yan Jin collected his thoughts, stood up from the sofa, clasped his fists and greeted the two of them. The other Yan clan envoys who were eating fruits and desserts also quickly put down the food in their hands and stood up.

"You two should be the wives of Executive Xiao, right? I have heard that all of Executive Xiao's wives are extremely beautiful, but seeing this rumor today, I think it is polite."

After Yan Jin introduced himself, he gave a half-sincere and half-polite compliment. Yun Yun smiled slightly and nodded gently in response.

“You are too kind, Patriarch Yan.” Yun Yun paused, then introduced herself, “I am Xiao Yan’s wife Yun Yun, and this is also Xiao Yan’s wife Cai Lin. During the time that Xiao Yan was away, the main affairs of the Tianhe Alliance were managed by the two of us.”

"Ah~ This makes things much easier." Yan Jin laughed, "My sister Huo Ling just returned to the tribe not long ago, and I guessed that Executor Xiao also returned safely, so I immediately brought people to the Tianhe League to congratulate the ladies."

As he spoke, Yan Jin turned to look at the Yan clan envoys and waved his hand.

"Bring the stuff up."

"Yes!"

Several envoys from the Yan tribe responded immediately, and then a few white lights flashed in their rings. A large number of gifts were placed on the table, and Yan Jin also spoke generously.

"These gifts are all famous specialties of the Yan Clan. I brought them here specially to celebrate the safety of Executor Xiao." Yan Jin raised his hand and gently stroked the neatly folded silk on top of the gifts, his eyes full of smiles. "Especially this silk. I dare not say anything else about my Yan Clan, but in this aspect, there is absolutely no family that can compare to my Yan Clan. Please accept this gift on behalf of Executor Xiao."

Yun Yun and Cai Lin took a look at the gifts and then looked away.

For top forces like the Tianhe Alliance and the Yan Clan, the so-called gifts are ultimately external things, but they are enough to show the other party's sincerity.

Therefore, the gift is not important, but the sincerity should be valued.

"With such kindness from Patriarch Yan, we two can't refuse, so we can only accept it on behalf of my husband."

"That's great." Yan Jin nodded with a smile, and Yun Yun glanced at Zijing slightly.

"Zijing, please accept all the gifts."

As she said this, Yun Yun secretly gave Zijing a look, and Zijing immediately understood. She came to the table and accepted the gift. When she was about to turn around and leave, she seemed to remember something and turned to look at the Yan clan envoys.

"Everyone, Minister Xiao Mei of the Tianhe League likes to use projection crystals to shoot dramas. If you don't mind, how about I take you to watch it?"

No one present was a fool. Zijing suddenly brought up this topic to the Yan clan envoys, obviously wanting Yun Yun and Yan Jin to talk to them alone.

The Yan Clan envoys turned their gaze to Yan Jin, who nodded silently. Then the Yan Clan envoys looked at Zi Jing and chuckled.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zijing, to lead the way."

"It's our duty to entertain guests. It's never a hassle."

Zijing also responded politely, and then led the Yan clan envoys to leave the reception room, leaving the reception room to Yun Yun and the other two.

After everyone else left, Cai Lin stood quietly behind Yun Yun, while Yun Yun sat on the sofa with her knees together, her hands lightly placed on her legs, looking at Yan Jin in a very elegant manner.

"I wonder what the meaning of Chief Yan personally leading a delegation of envoys to visit the Tianhe Alliance is?"

Not only was Yan Jin afraid that Yun Yun and Cai Lin didn't know about the Fire Spirit Fairy, Yun Yun and Cai Lin were also afraid that Yan Jin knew about the Fire Spirit Fairy, so although they had guesses in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask openly.

Most of the women who had previous accidents with Xiao Yan had some kind of emotional basis with Xiao Yan, except for the Fire Spirit Fairy, who had no real feelings for Xiao Yan at all, it was purely an accident.

Yan Jin said that the Fire Spirit Fairy had returned to the tribe, but he did not mention the matter of the child. Therefore, Yun Yun and Cai Lin were not sure whether Yan Jin came to visit the Tianhe Alliance for the Fire Spirit Fairy or simply for the purpose of forming an alliance.

The current situation of both parties is that I don’t know whether you know it or not, and that’s how the chain of suspicion is created, which leads to roundabout ways of speaking.

Yan Jin just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, didn't you want to form an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance before? But you didn't expect that the demon fire would come and cause an accident, which delayed things. Now that Executor Xiao has returned safely, in order to show the Yan Clan's sincerity, of course I have to come and visit as soon as possible."

Because Xiao Yan's life and death were unknown, the remaining eight clans lost interest in forming an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance. This was a fact known to everyone.

To put it nicely, the behavior of the Eight Clans is that they know the times, but to put it bluntly, they are too snobbish. But this cannot be said to be the fault of the Eight Clans. It is human nature, and not many people will be kind to others without asking for anything in return.

Yan Jin's words stated the reason openly, but he did not make it too embarrassing for either party. He simply used the ambiguous word "delay" to get around it.

No matter what force they belong to, once they become the clan leader, they will naturally become more tactful in their speech.

"Patriarch Yan is absolutely right. No matter what, you can come in person to comfort Xiao Yan. As his wife, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you on his behalf."

Yun Yun naturally would not save Yan Jin's face. She intuitively felt that the actions of the eight clans were very ruthless. Seeing that Xiao Yan's life and death were unknown, they directly abandoned the Tianhe Alliance. However, the affairs of such a powerful force really did not allow personal emotions to come into play. There was nothing to be angry about.

After that, the topics of conversation went much more smoothly. Originally, the alliance with the eight clans was just the finishing touch. If it weren't for the demon fire that came to the world, it would have been accomplished long ago, and the coordination of various regulations could have been smooth.

At the end of the conversation, Yun Yun expressed that she strongly agreed with the alliance with the Yan Clan, but after all, she was just a caretaker, and she would have to wait for Xiao Yan to come back and confirm it in person.

Yan Jin also expressed his understanding of this and stood up and extended his hand to Yun Yun.

“I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.”

Yun Yun also politely extended her hand and shook it gently, then separated.

"If there is nothing going on in the Yan clan, why not stay in the Tianhe Alliance for two days? My husband should be back tomorrow, and by then you two can finalize the alliance, so that the Yan clan leader can be at ease."

"If you don't mind, that's fine."

Yan Jin said this, and then Yun Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and after a long silence, she suddenly asked.

"Chief Yan, is there anything else you want to discuss?"

When Yan Jin heard Yun Yun's question, he was slightly stunned. He had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet. He chuckled and waved his hand.

"Not yet. I came here only to form an alliance. Now that we have almost finished the discussion, I am at peace."

"Really?" Yun Yun replied softly, and then seemed to remember something and asked again, "By the way, I didn't have time to ask just now, how is the Fire Fairy's health?"

If the knock just now was just a rather vague one, then this time Yun Yun's intention to specifically target the Fire Spirit Fairy was very obvious. She was testing whether Yan Jin knew that the Fire Spirit Fairy had a child.

If he didn't know, then Yan Jin should have just responded normally, such as thanking you for your concern, and the topic would be over.

But it was obvious that Yan Jin knew.

Yan Jin frowned. Although his guess was confirmed, it was still not easy to bring up such a thing directly. Or maybe Yan Jin really didn't know how to start.

He really wanted to find out how Xiao Yan planned to deal with the Fire Spirit Fairy issue, but he was afraid that asking would cause their relationship to become strained, leading to the collapse of the alliance, which would be a huge loss for the Yan Clan.

Cai Lin seemed to be aware of Yan Jin's dilemma and spoke softly.

"Clan leader Yan, please be at ease. The alliance is the alliance, and the Fire Spirit Fairy's business is the Fire Spirit Fairy's business. There is no need to mix them up." Yun Yun paused, and then said, "In fact, Xiao Yan confessed this to us when he just came back, and he firmly stated that he wanted to take responsibility. As his wife, we have reached a unanimous opinion."

"This"

Yan Jin was stunned. He was still worried about this and that, but they had already solved the problem? Then what were his previous worries?

At this time Yun Yun continued to speak.

"But for the specific matters, I still hope that you can meet and discuss with Xiao Yan in person after he returns. I think he would also like this."

After hearing this, Yan Jin was silent for a long time and then nodded slightly.

"Okay." (End of chapter)
