Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Xiao Yan looked at the hand that knocked Lei Ying away, his eyes full of shock.

It was obvious that Lei Ying's murderous intent was so undisguised just now, but after the actual fight, Xiao Yan discovered that there was a huge gap between the strength Lei Ying exerted and what he showed on the surface. Even if he did not react in time to protect Lei Jing, Lei Jing would not die even if he took the blow head-on.

Then Xiao Yan looked at Lei Ying, who was slowly getting up with his face covered in dust and dirt. He saw that the other party had a gloomy face. He strode towards Xiao Yan and looked into his eyes.

"Lei Clan Leader"

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to finish his words, Lei Ying raised his hand and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder heavily. His originally gloomy face suddenly became as clear as the sun after the clouds had cleared, and he grinned and laughed out loud with satisfaction.

"Good boy! My girl didn't make a mistake!"

This sentence stunned Xiao Yan and Lei Jing, but Lei Ying patted his clothes as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Xiao Yan gradually came back to his senses, with a slightly puzzled look on his face, and asked softly.

"Lei Patriarch, what did you do just now?"

"Ah? Ah, I just want to confirm what kind of man Jing'er likes." Lei Ying gently stroked the thunder beard on his chin and grinned, "He has a good personality, excellent ability, and a strong sense of responsibility. Especially, he dared to attack me, his father-in-law, for Jing'er. I can't find any fault with him even if I find fault with him."

Lei Jing gradually came to his senses at this time, and looked at Lei Ying in a daze.

"Dad, you..."

"Oh? Now you know to call me dad?" Lei Ying glared at Lei Jing in dissatisfaction, walked over and patted Lei Jing on the head, "I am your dad, I am just straightforward, not incompetent. Bring this kid back to the clan to see me, you have to let me confirm whether this kid is worth it, right?"

"Then why don't you just say it directly? I was completely confused by your last words just now."

Lei Jing finally understood and glared at Lei Ying angrily. The murderous intent that Lei Ying showed towards her at the end cut off her thoughts. Lei Jing never dreamed that Lei Ying would show murderous intent towards her most beloved daughter.

"Humph, you silly girl, can a test that is stated clearly be true?" Lei Ying looked at Lei Jing lovingly and said earnestly, "Jing'er, you have been living in danger since you were a child. If your father hadn't racked his brains to make up a brother for you, who knows how many people would have evil intentions towards you."

"As for your future, I, your father, don't have any expectations. The only hope is that the man you find can protect you at all times, even if the opponent is me, your father."

"As long as you are safe, I have nothing to worry about."

Lei Ying's words were filled with care and concern for Lei Jing, which made Lei Jing's heart beat fast and she was deeply moved.

Then Lei Ying looked at Xiao Yan and spoke slowly.

“Xiao Yan, I’ll leave this girl in your care from now on.” Lei Ying paused, his expression serious, and said in a deep voice: “If she suffers any injustice in the future, I will not let you suffer even if I risk my life.”

Hearing Lei Ying's words, Xiao Yan slowly raised his hands, clasped his fists and responded in a solemn voice.

"I'll keep this in mind."

That night, Lei Ying hosted a banquet to entertain Xiao Yan. At the same time, he formally announced the relationship between Xiao Yan and Lei Jing to all the elders in the clan. The elders were stunned and it took them a long time to come to their senses.

Not long ago they found out that Lei Dong, the young patriarch that they had been eyeing was actually Lei Jing, who had long been declared dead. This made the elders of the Lei clan ecstatic after being stunned. You know, Lei Jing's talent was so great that it shocked the whole world. Now that Lei Jing faked his death and took on the identity of Lei Dong and has grown up safely to this point, the prosperity of the Lei clan is just around the corner.

However, before they could be happy for long, the Great Elder brought bad news. Lei Jing disappeared in the Demon Fire Space and his life or death was unknown, which directly poured a bucket of cold water on everyone.

Today, Lei Jing returned to the Lei Clan alive, which made everyone overjoyed. Everyone was imagining that Lei Jing would lead the Lei Clan to greater success in the future, when Lei Ying suddenly announced that Lei Jing was getting married?
No? Even if Lei Jing wants to get married, she should find someone to marry into the family? Just marry her off like this? What will happen to the Lei Clan then?
Although all the Thunder Clan elders had this doubt, the Thunder Clan's right to speak basically rested with Lei Ying alone. Since Lei Ying had made the decision, it was not the turn of these elders to disagree, and the matter was settled.

After the banquet, Lei Ying was even more satisfied with his son-in-law. He even made a promise to Xiao Yan that whoever dared to harm him in the future would come to him to settle the matter.

The day after the banquet, Xiao Yan and Lei Jing said goodbye to Lei Ying and left the Lei Clan. Just as Lei Ying was watching them leave, an elder looked a little embarrassed and asked softly.

"Chief, the eldest lady..."

"What? Do you have any objections?" Lei Ying shook his sleeves and glared at him unceremoniously. "If you have any objections, just go and tell my son-in-law. As long as you can beat him, Jing'er's marriage will be up to you."

Lei Ying said this directly. He had personally tested Xiao Yan's strength yesterday. It was no exaggeration to say that if Xiao Yan really fought a life-and-death battle with him, Lei Ying could not guarantee that he would win.

The intuition that Lei Ying had developed over the years told him that his son-in-law definitely had a lot more hidden inside him, and that his strength was far from what he appeared to be.

When the Thunder Clan elder heard what Lei Ying said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was not even a six-star Douluo, so how could he be qualified to fight Xiao Yan?

"Chief, that's not what I'm talking about." The Thunder Clan elder defended, "But didn't you make an engagement with Miss Xun'er from the Ancient Clan? Now that the fact has come true, you have to send someone to explain it."

"Well, I went to the Gu Clan to make the engagement so that others would believe in Lei Dong's existence. Clan leader Gu knew it very well." Lei Ying raised his sword-like eyebrows, and then said: "But you are right. Now Jing'er's identity is no longer a secret, and it is time to cancel the engagement."

Then Lei Ying looked at the Lei Clan elder and gave orders.

"You prepare an apology and take a few people to the Ancient Clan to formally cancel the engagement. No matter what the elders of the Ancient Clan say, the head of the Ancient Clan will agree."

"Yes."

The scene changed, Xiao Yan and Lei Jing had returned to the Tianhe Alliance. Looking at this familiar place, Lei Jing folded his arms and let out a long sigh, glancing at Xiao Yan.

"Then now, I am officially your wife. Please give me your guidance." Lei Jing said this, and then twitched her mouth uncomfortably, "But it seems that there is no difference from before."

Before, Lei Jing had always been Xiao Yan's deputy, and it had become a habit for her. Now that she has become Xiao Yan's wife, she is still by his side. Physically speaking, there is indeed no difference.

If I have to say something, it is that I can do more things than before, such as some intimate acts that I couldn't do before.

"Well, please give me some advice."

Xiao Yan responded to Lei Jing with a smile. Lei Jing couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw his gentle expression.

"This is really unexpected. When I first got to know you, I didn't like you at all. I didn't expect this to be the result."

"Speaking of this, I've always wanted to ask, why did you look at me so unhappily before?" Xiao Yan looked at Lei Jing in confusion and asked, "I originally thought you were really Xun'er's fiancé, and that you were targeting me because you thought Xun'er was getting too close to me."

"Humph~ Xun'er is my little sister whom I have taken good care of since she was a child. I don't want to see her being cheated of her feelings by some bastard man!"

As Lei Jing was speaking, his expression suddenly changed and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Oops, I blurted it out.
Lei Jing looked at Xiao Yan anxiously, but the latter just waved his hands helplessly.

"Let's not talk about whether I am that bastard or not. I promise you now that I have no improper thoughts about Xun'er. I really just treat her as a sister."

Lei Jing's eyebrows and eyes twitched uncontrollably, and he confirmed it with a very strange look.

"Really just a sister?"

"It's really just a sister."

Following Lei Jing's question, Xiao Yan's statement followed, which made Lei Jing hold his forehead with a headache.

Xun'er, what on earth did you do in the Xiao family all those years?
Lei Jing really couldn't figure it out. Childhood sweethearts, no blood relationship, stunningly beautiful, caring and thoughtful, strong talent, so many positive words put together, how could they become such a pure brother and sister? Even Xiao Yu, the cousin, became one!

Lei Jing couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, but there was one thing she was very sure of.

At least in the short term, she didn't have the face to see Xun'er.

What did I say to Xun'er at the beginning?
I am trying to confirm for Xun'er whether Xiao Yan is worthy of her just for this purpose.

The results of it?
As he confirmed it again and again, he finally confirmed himself as his wife.

As for Xun'er?

In Xiao Yan's heart, she is just a sister whose relationship with him is so pure that it cannot be purer.

"what"

Lei Jing sighed heavily, her face full of fatigue, and Xiao Yan immediately showed worry on his face.

"Jing'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little speechless." Lei Jing waved her hand, skipped the topic, and then folded her arms and looked at Xiao Yan, "Where are you going next?"

"I still have to go to the Gu Clan, but Qinghan is still a traitor now, so it's not convenient for him to go back. I will go alone to report my safety to Uncle Gulin, and I have to explain the marriage proposal to him in person."

".Then you go ahead, I'll stay here and work."

Lei Jing really didn't want to talk about the ancient clan now, his mind was a mess.

If Xiao Yan proposed marriage to the ancient clan, would Xun'er be present? How would Xun'er react after hearing this?
When Lei Jing thought of this, he became confused and didn't dare to think deeply about it. His heart was filled with guilt.

Xiao Yan had no idea of ​​the sorrow in Lei Jing's heart. He checked with his soul and confirmed that Lei Jing was fine before he felt relieved and spoke softly.

“Then I won’t go in. Please tell Cai Lin and the others for me.” Xiao Yan said, his expression suddenly turned cold. “After I come back from the Ancient Clan, I will take Senior Yao to the Yao Clan.”

"Go to the Medicine Clan?"

Lei Jing was stunned at first, then reacted and frowned slightly.

"Go kill that Yao Wangui?"

"Yes, I have already told Elder Yao Wanhuo in advance that as long as I am alive, Yao Wangui must die."

Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, which made Lei Jing slightly stunned.

In all the years she had followed Xiao Yan, this was the first time she saw Xiao Yan so determined to kill someone.

Obviously, no matter who tried to dissuade him, it was useless, and no one could keep the medicine.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Xiao Yan remembered something and looked at Lei Jing with a serious expression. "I heard from Yunying before that the Soul Clan's invasions of Zhongzhou are becoming more and more frequent. You and Qinghan should work hard these days and strengthen the defenses in various places as much as possible to minimize the damage. If possible, it's best to find out what the Soul Clan wants to do."

"It's easy to strengthen the defense, but I want to find out the Soul Clan's purpose." Lei Jing frowned, "I'll try my best. The Soul Clan has been mysterious from ancient times to now. No one knows what they want to do, especially the clan leader, Emperor Hun Tian. Even now, we don't know what he looks like."

The Soul Clan has always been in a mediocre position among the eight clans since ancient times. In fact, few ancient clans paid attention to the Soul Clan in ancient times. If the Xiao Clan had not been destroyed a thousand years ago, the Soul Clan would not have been so guarded against by the eight ancient clans.

Of course, it was just a precaution. Although the eight ancient clans all speculated that the demise of the Xiao clan was the work of the Soul clan, after all, the Xiao clan was almost exterminated at the beginning, and the so-called genocide only came from Gu Yuan's mouth. It was impossible for the eight ancient clans to fully believe it, otherwise they would have attacked the Soul clan all these years ago.

However, ever since the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan were invaded by the Soul Clan, this speculation has been basically confirmed. It's just that because of Xiao Yan's deliberate concealment, the remaining eight clans are still unaware of this.

With Xiao Yan's current appeal, as long as the affairs of the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan are exposed, the Soul Clan will immediately become the target of public criticism, without a doubt.

But as mentioned before, Xiao Yan did not want the situation to develop into that. If the four families of Lei Yan, Yao Gu were all single-mindedly targeting the Soul Clan, it would be fine. However, he was afraid that by then one of the families would have different intentions, and then Zhongzhou would inevitably turn into a tragic battlefield, which Xiao Yan could not accept.

"Anyway, let's leave it like this for now. I'll deal with the Soul Clan's affairs after I've dealt with everything here." Xiao Yan said this, turned around and waved to Lei Jing, "I'm leaving."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Lei Jing waved lightly and watched Xiao Yan leave the Tianhe Alliance.

After Xiao Yan left, Lei Jing raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the Tianhe Alliance.

"Qinghan?"

As Lei Jing finished speaking, the door of Tianhe League was slowly pushed open, and Gu Qinghan walked out, looking at Lei Jing.

"You're back? Where's Xiao Yan?"

"I went to the ancient tribe to propose marriage."

When Lei Jing said this, Gu Qinghan's face suddenly changed. Lei Jing noticed her change in expression and sighed.

"Okay, don't think about Xun'er for now, it can be solved."

".I hope so."

Gu Qinghan said this leisurely, looking in the direction of the ancient clan, narrowing his eyes slightly, and gradually lost in thought as he stared at the skyline with his cold eyes. (End of this chapter)
