Xiao Yao opened his sleepy eyes and looked at him: "You don't seem to be afraid?"
Zuan smiled slightly: "You and I have no grievances and no grudges. We just drank together, why should I be afraid?"
"I don't think that's the reason," Xiao Yao jumped out of the window and walked towards him slowly, "Because we have fought before, you have enough confidence."
"Your Excellency's sword at the banquet just now was really amazing, but I took it by accident." Zaan said humbly. At that time, the other party turned the sword into the wine. Most of the wine was water, and his blue mallard Has a natural affinity for the element of water, so it's much easier for him to pick up than others.
Xiao Yao shook his head: "I'm not talking about the fight at the banquet, but the one during the day."
Zu An's head jumped: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Xiao Yao looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Just try it and you'll know."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword stabbed out so fast that he couldn't even see the process of drawing the sword.
Zu An instantly retreated ten feet away, dodging his lightning-fast sword, and when he was about to counterattack, the opponent had already retracted the sword: "It's exactly the same as dodging in the daytime."
At this moment, several breaths rushed over from outside, and Sang Hong was the first to arrive: "Azu, what happened?"
Immediately after, other people rushed over, and it was obvious that the qi fluctuations that had just erupted here had alarmed them.
"It's okay, I was just practicing." In order to dispel their suspicions, Zaan went to open the door to meet them.
Sang Hong looked at the room without revealing a trace, and then nodded when he saw that there was nothing unusual: "Then be careful yourself, if something happens, speak up, and the nearby guards will come as soon as possible."
"Thank you uncle for your concern." Zaun closed the door again after sending them away.
At this time, Xiao Yao came out from behind the bed and asked curiously, "Why didn't they notify them to arrest me together?"
"I can sense that you have no ill intentions, so why should I arrest you?" Zaun pulled a stool and sat down, motioning him to sit too.
Xiao Yao was not polite, and sat down casually without any manners: "You are young, but your mentality is quite open-minded."
Zaan is noncommittal: "Your Excellency came to me in the middle of the night, it's not for the sake of family affairs with me."
"I'm a little curious. You are so young, why do you recognize me? I have disappeared in the arena for so many years, and I almost forgot my name." Xiao Yao said sighing.
Zuan replied: "Actually, I have been to the academy several times before, and I have a good relationship with the teachers in Houshan. I may know more than the average person."
Hearing him mentioning Zhen Xuzi, Heihezi and others, Xiao Yao also had a smile on his face: "After so many years, they are still like this. Hey, but they have all become leaders in their respective fields, and I am the only one. Senior brother's is completely abandoned..."
Feeling his loneliness, Zuan said: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be so arrogant, everyone in the world says that you have fallen, but I think your swordsmanship is more powerful than your peak in the legend, I can only say that the world is wrong, The Sword Immortal is still that Sword Immortal."
Xiao Yao shook his head mockingly: "No, many things can't go back."
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know what happened to you, your deeds inspired a lot of people back then. For example, a friend I know uses you as an idol..."
He explained Xiao Jianren's story in general, and of course concealed a lot of details, so as not to be guessed that he was the gold medal eleven.
Xiao Yao was also a little surprised to hear that someone worshipped him so much, and his whole person was a little lost, obviously recalling the glorious days of the past.
Zu Anxin thought that if he made a sneak attack at this time, the opponent would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. His mood fluctuated so much, and he didn't know what he had experienced to make this happen.
"It's not in vain to lead a young man to be positive. It's time for a drink." Xiao Yao laughed and took a few sips of the wine, and then asked Zaan if he wanted it.
Zaan shook his head. This man is really an alcoholic who can always find various reasons to drink.
After putting down the jug, Xiao Yao suddenly restrained his smile, and his sleepy eyes became a little sharp: "Why did you touch the inner courtyard of Pei's house during the day?"
"I'm friends with Manman," Zaun replied, asking rhetorically, "Then why are you there?"
"My mother and I are friends." Speaking of her mother, a hint of tenderness flashed in Xiao Yao's eyes.
Zu'an looks weird, is this friend you're talking about serious
"Stinky boy, what are you thinking?" Xiao Yao glared at him angrily, seemingly aware of his thoughts.
Zaan asked tentatively, "You're not Manman's father, are you?"
If the other party is his own husband, then the fun will be great.
Xiao Yao's face flushed red: "Don't talk nonsense, Manman's mother is pure and clean, don't insult her reputation."
Seeing his reaction, Zaan roughly guessed what was going on, and Xiao Yao's status in his heart plummeted.
I originally thought that the other party and Da Manman's mother were lovers, but now it seems that not only did they not regard them as lovers, but they seemed to be just the goddess's licking--dog.
Xiao Yao also gradually calmed down at this time, looking at the position of his neck: "I played against you during the day, and saw you wearing a flame-shaped pendant, where did you get it?"
Zu An moved, no wonder that the murderous aura of the other party weakened a lot at that time. He took out the peculiarly shaped pendant and showed a gentle smile on his face: "Da Manman gave it to me."
Xiao Yao was a little lost for a while, and his expression when he looked at Zuan became extremely complicated: "She actually gave you this pendant."
Zu An was moved: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yao shook his head, his expression seemed to be recalling something, and after a long while he said, "This pendant used to belong to her mother, and then her mother passed it on to Manman, this thing is their most precious thing and will only be given to the most. close lover."
Zaan silently took the pendant back. This guy didn't get the pendant from Damanman's mother back then, so don't let him grab it jealously.
Xiao Yao laughed dumbly: "Since you have this kind of relationship with Manman, then I can safely give you protection. I have something to leave, and I can't protect her for a while, so I'm a little worried."
Zaan: "Senior is really protecting her."
Pretty much as I guessed.
Xiao Yao nodded: "Manman's mother passed away early, and later his father married a Yu family woman and gave birth to a younger brother, Pei Xing at the banquet today. Because her mother has no name, Manman is in Pei Xing. The status and situation of the family has always been awkward."
Hearing this, Zaan felt a little distressed. He could imagine the days that Manman had lived since he was a child, but the first time he saw her, she was smiling and enthusiastic. Obviously, she buried all the bitterness in her heart and smiled with a smile. as your own protective color.
"The mother and son of the Yu family, relying on their status as the wife and direct son, and the family background of their parents, made a lot of difficulties for Manman, and Pei Shao was very partial, so Manman was unbearable and rarely at home, but traveled outside. Cleaned up some days."
"But after she came back this time, she was placed under house arrest by the Pei family, and she was no longer allowed to go out at will. I wanted to take her away, but unfortunately she refused to go with me."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yao's face showed pain.
"Why doesn't she want to leave?" Zaan asked curiously, Da Manman probably isn't the kind of steamed bun who is bullied and swallowed hard.
Xiao Yao laughed at himself: "I think it's because she hates me a little bit about her mother."
Zuan's expression immediately became strange, and she said that you and her mother are just ordinary friends
Xiao Yao was obviously reluctant to discuss this topic in depth, and continued: "After my investigation, I finally figured out that Pei You wanted to marry her to Prince Qi as his concubine."
Although I had learned about this from Pei You before, but now I hear Zu An is still furious: "Is Zhao Zhi also worthy?"
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yao nodded with the same feeling: "Yes, with Manman's talent and appearance, even if he is a concubine, he is also a talented concubine. Even if he takes it as a concubine, that servant Pei Shao is also insane!"
Zuan looked in the direction of Pei's family, thinking that it was impossible for Da Manman to marry someone else if he said anything.
"I can't take Manman away, so I've been secretly protecting her during this time so that she won't be bullied. Unfortunately, I have to leave recently, so I can rest assured that I'll leave her protection to you." Xiao Yao said happily.
"Don't worry, I will protect her!" Zaan replied in a deep voice.
Xiao Yao nodded with satisfaction, took out a small wooden sword the size of a toothpick from his arms and handed it to him: "Although your cultivation base should be enough to deal with all kinds of situations, but just in case, take this with you, My sword intent is sealed in it, and if I encounter an enemy that is difficult to deal with in the future, I will use it to attack the opponent, which is equivalent to my full blow."
"In the entire Yunzhong County, there are not many who can block my full blow." There was a sense of pride in his tone.
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zaan to stay, and his figure quickly disappeared out of the window: "Yujian rides the wind to destroy the world... You send me a poem, and I will return you a gift, it can be considered even, ha. Ha ha!"
