Chapter 233 I Will Definitely Protect You (1/2)
Chapter 233 I will definitely protect you
"Hmm?!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Yan turned his head suddenly and saw a familiar figure in white walking towards him.
The elegant and handsome appearance made people feel good about him. There was a little cynicism in his red pupils, and a carefree smile on his lips. He was playing with a folding fan in his hand. It was Yunying, whom Xiao Yan considered to be a close friend.
"Brother Yun!"
Seeing Yunying, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly became happy, while Yao Chen in the ring had black lines on his face.
It's this guy again. He's haunting.
Yunying opened the folding fan, squinted her eyes slightly, tilted her head and chuckled.
"It's really a coincidence. I didn't expect to see Mr. Xiao here."
This is a lie.
Since the incident with the snake people, she has never left Xiao Yan, so it's naturally not a coincidence.
Immediately, Yunying looked at Xiao Yixian.
"Miss Xiao Yixian, how are you?"
"Yeah."
Xiao Yixian nodded lightly and did not give any further answers.
To be honest, she and Yunying were not very familiar with each other, and for some reason, Xiao Yixian always had a sense of resistance to Yunying in her heart, and this resistance became more and more serious as she met Yunying more and more times.
It was not like getting close to Xiao Yan like other women, afraid that something would happen between Xiao Yan and Yunying. After all, in Xiao Yan's cognition, Yunying was a man, and Xiao Yixian did not think that Xiao Yan really had a preference for men.
It was just that Yunying was very inexplicable and gave Xiao Yixian a very fake feeling.
As for what kind of fake it was, Xiao Yixian could not say.
Especially when she stood with Xiao Yan, this feeling was even more obvious.
On the surface, the two seemed to be like-minded and talked happily, and Yunying also agreed with Xiao Yan's righteousness in words and deeds.
But in Xiao Yixian's eyes, Yunying seemed to be the opposite of Xiao Yan, the purest one, and among all the people Xiao Yixian had met so far, no one could be so completely opposed to Xiao Yan.
Perhaps Yunying did not agree with Xiao Yan's righteousness, but was simply [interested] in his righteousness.
This feeling, without any evidence, was just pure intuition, so Xiao Yixian was not good at mentioning this to Xiao Yan.
Regardless of what Xiao Yixian was thinking, Xiao Yan had no doubt about Yunying's words, and took two steps forward to Yunying, with a happy smile on his face.
"I didn't thank Brother Yun for his help in person before, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Haha~Mr. Xiao, you are too kind." Yun Ying narrowed her eyes and waved her hands with a smile, "With our limited strength, we didn't help at all in the Snake People incident, so how could we thank you for your help."
"Brother Yun can go to the Snake People without fear of danger, which is the greatest favor to me."
Xiao Yan said in a serious voice. It is not surprising that one can show his kindness when he has strength.
On the contrary, Yun Ying, who knows that he is not strong enough but is willing to step into danger for his friends, regardless of whether he can help in the end, this kindness is much more valuable than the kindness of those strong people in Xiao Yan's eyes.
When Yao Chen heard what Xiao Yan was thinking, he rolled his eyes.
Insufficient strength? If she is not strong enough, then there is no one with enough strength on this continent.
Not to mention the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake People, even if the entire Northwest Continent is united, it is estimated that it cannot withstand Yun Ying's casual wave.
Of course, with Yunying's threat, Yaochen could only keep these words to himself.
Really, he was so depressed.
At this time, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yunying in surprise.
"Brother Yun, you have been promoted to a great Doushi?"
Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with astonishment. You know, the last time he saw Yunying, he was only a five-star Doushi. After just a few days, he has become a great Doushi?
"I just borrowed the secret medicine from the family. It's not a real skill."
Yunying shook the folding fan in her hand lightly. There was no smug look on her face, but a little helplessness flashed in her heart.
There was no way. Xiao Yan's combat power had far exceeded Yunying's prediction. Xiao Yan, a Doushi who could kill Douling in seconds and even rival Douwang, would not be able to stay with him without improving his strength. If Yunying was not afraid that too much improvement at one time would arouse Xiao Yan's suspicion, she would have wanted to directly improve her strength to Douwang.
But then again, everyone Xiao Yan knows has super-standard combat power, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to show off his strength that is far beyond his level, right?
Recalling Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, Yun Ying's eyes revealed a little complexity.
It was already surprising that the long-declined Xiao clan had such a super-standard combat power as Xiao Yan. It was unexpected that Xiao Yan's eldest sister and second sister were not much less than that. According to the report of his subordinates, it seems that other juniors of the Xiao family are in a similar situation.
This is really even if the bloodline of the Xiao clan has not declined, I am afraid that the combat power is not so outrageous. How did these Xiao family members train?
The above thoughts swept through Yun Ying's mind, and then she put aside the super-standard combat power of these juniors of the Xiao family.
At first, she was interested in Xiao Yan because of his super-standard combat power.
But now, she has no interest in Xiao Yan's super-standard combat power, because Xiao Yan has another quality that she pays more attention to.
What kind of environment can cultivate Xiao Yan's unique and upright character?
Regarding this question, Yunying went through all of Xiao Yan's resume from birth to now, but could not find the reason.
In the end, Yunying could only regard Xiao Yan's integrity as innate.
Perhaps this is Xiao Yan's unique talent.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, why does Brother Yun appear here?"
Xiao Yan spread out a hand and asked softly, under normal circumstances, this is a gathering that only high-level alchemists can enter. Although Xiao Yan values Yunying very much, Yunying should not be able to enter, right?
In this regard, Yunying also gave the reason that he had thought about in advance.
"It's just because my family has a little prestige, and I have nothing to do and just come here to hang out."
"That's it."
Xiao Yan nodded clearly and then invited.
"I'm also looking for what I need here. If Brother Yun doesn't mind, can you come with me?"
To be honest, Xiao Yan's attitude towards Yunying has gone far beyond the level of enthusiasm.
This was of course true. Xiao Yan had decided to follow the right path since he was a child. This was the first time he met someone who was so interested in and recognized his right path. Xiao Yan didn't mention how much he valued Yunying.
Yunying naturally knew Xiao Yan's inner thoughts, and she also sighed in her heart.
It seems that no one has really recognized Xiao Yan's right path before him, otherwise Xiao Yan would never be so enthusiastic about him.
Yunying thought this in her heart, then she put away her folding fan and smiled.
"Master Xiao is so kind, so I will naturally agree."
Afterwards, Yunying and Xiao Yan walked around and chatted in the gathering. What they talked about the most was the righteous path pursued by Xiao Yan, and most of them were asked by Yunying on his own initiative.
It can be seen that Yunying is really interested in Xiao Yan's righteous way. But the more Yunying acted like this, the more uncoordinated the little medical fairy who followed them with Qinglin felt.
Can Xiao Yan's righteous way really interest someone to this extent?
The little medical fairy knew in her heart that Xiao Yan had indeed won the favor of many people by relying on his righteous way so far.
But what those people recognized was only Xiao Yan as a person, not Xiao Yan's right path, including himself.
And Yunying was the only one who directly proposed that she wanted to have a deep understanding of Xiao Yan's righteous way. It was no wonder that Xiao Yan felt so enthusiastic about her.
If Yunying is really just innocent and interested in Xiao Yan's unique path, then the little medical fairy will naturally have nothing to worry about.
But just to be afraid of Yunying, there are other purposes.
"Speaking of which, Brother Yun, what does your family do?" Xiao Yan glanced slightly sideways and looked at Yunying with some curiosity, "I heard you mention it before. Could it be that your family is very powerful in the Jia Ma Empire?"
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yan would definitely not take the initiative to inquire about other people's family backgrounds.
But Yunying was so special to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan couldn't help the desire in his heart to know everything about Yunying. He wanted to know what kind of family could make someone like Yunying know it at a glance. The average noble man is so interested in his own right path.
"My family is a bit troublesome to explain." The folding fan in Yunying's hand lightly pressed against her beautiful chin. After a moment, she unfolded the folding fan and lightly covered half of her face. "To put it simply, our family is doing funerals." of."
"A funeral?"
Xiao Yan's mind is full of questions. There is a funeral industry in Douqi Continent, but how big can the funeral industry be?
It's not that Xiao Yan looks down on the funeral industry. Xiao Yan respects death. No matter who he is, death is equal and is the end of a person's life.
Just speaking according to common sense, no matter how great the family that organizes funerals is, how big can it be?
"Ha~ It seems that Mr. Xiao has a slight misunderstanding." Yunying narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "The funeral is just a very general explanation of my family's industry. To be more serious, my family is There are families all over the continent that specialize in funerals for those powerful people.”
Yunying's words made Xiao Yan feel even more confused.
Do you hold funerals specifically for the strong? Generally speaking, powerful people have their own power. Do you really need a dedicated family to help with funeral arrangements?
Xiao Yan was just confused by Yunying's words, but the medicine in the ring made his heart skip a beat.
Why does it sound so cold to say that funerals are specially held for the strong?
While his bone marrow felt chilly, Yao Shen felt more certain about Yunying's identity in his heart.
As for Xiao Yan's confusion, Yunying immediately explained.
"No matter how strong a person is, he will eventually die one day, and what my family provides is just some small help."
"However, those strong people did not know what their life was for until the moment they died. They simply relied on the people around them to organize funerals, which still made them feel uneasy."
"My family came into being under such circumstances, helping the strong to accept death willingly, and at the end of their lives, helping them find the meaning of life to the greatest extent possible."
"Master Xiao should also understand that people who can be called strong must have many rare things on their bodies. They voluntarily offer these as offerings before they accept death, as a reward for our family to help them accept death. My That’s how the family grew up.”
Yunying's explanation made Xiao Yan nod his head in realization, and Yunying narrowed her eyes slightly, with a faint light flickering in her scarlet pupils.
I didn't lie~
I just said the family's business in a more pleasant way.
Of course, I may have slightly beautified what my family did in these words, but it doesn't matter, the result is the same.
Yunying folded her folding fan suddenly, looked at Xiao Yan and said softly.
"It is because I have seen too many powerful people die meaninglessly that I am so interested in Mr. Xiao's righteousness."
"Mr. Xiao has a very special quality. At least in my short life experience, I have never seen any powerful person with a similar quality as you."
"And this special quality may be brought by the righteousness that Mr. Xiao has always believed in."
After listening to Yunying's words, Xiao Yan's eyes showed a look of realization.
If it was a family like Yunying, Xiao Yan could indeed understand why he was so interested in his righteousness.
Xiao Yan himself also understood that his righteous path was strange and extremely rare in this continent, and after Yunying had witnessed the death of so many powerful people, no one had a righteous path similar to his own.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyebrows were tightly knitted, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he asked Yunying in a deep voice.
"Really. There is not one? A powerful person similar to me."
"Yes."
Yunying answered Xiao Yan's question affirmatively.
"I dare to be sure that there is not one."
"Really."
After getting Yunying's answer, the unwillingness in Xiao Yan's eyes quietly turned into disappointment.
Xiao Yan's heart has always hoped that among the many powerful people in the high clouds, there will always be someone who practices the same righteous path as himself, even if he is not recognized by others, he will still walk firmly on the righteous path.
Even if there is only one.
Yunying's words completely broke the fantasy in Xiao Yan's heart.
But even if the fantasy was broken, Xiao Yan felt only disappointment, not despair.
Xiao Yan has always understood that his expectation is likely to be shattered.
Huh~~~
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
No, then no.
It is better to say that from the beginning, Xiao Yan never expected others to change the world.
The next second, Xiao Yan's eyes showed determination.
No one will do it, then I will do it!
I must go to the end and let the whole continent agree with my righteous path!
Feeling Xiao Yan's soul that was depressed at first and then excited, Yun Ying's interest in Xiao Yan became stronger.
Yes, that's it.
Do your best to move forward towards your righteous path.
Let us see with our own eyes what kind of posture your righteous path can change this continent into.
All you need to consider is whether you can persist, and don't worry that you will die in the pursuit of the righteous path.
Yun Ying's scarlet eyes flashed with stars.
Before your righteous path completely dissipates, we will definitely protect you.
