Xiao Yao opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at him: "You don't seem to be afraid?"
Zu An smiled slightly: "You and I have no grievances. We just drank together, why should I be afraid?"
"I don't think this is the reason," Xiao Yao jumped down from the window and walked slowly towards him, "because we have fought before and you have enough confidence."
"Your Excellency's sword strike at the banquet just now was really amazing, but it was a trick on my part." Zu An said modestly. At that time, the other party put the sword intention into the wine. Most of the wine was water, and his Lan Fu
He has a natural affinity for the water element, so it is much easier for him to pick it 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 talking about."
Xiao Yao looked at him with a half-smile: "You'll know after you try it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword thrust out quickly, so fast that he didn't even see the process of drawing the sword clearly.
Zu An instantly retreated ten feet away and dodged his lightning-fast sword. When he was about to counterattack, the opponent had already withdrawn his sword: "It's exactly the same as the dodge during the day."
At this moment, several auras rushed over from outside. The first one to arrive was Sang Hong: "Azu, what happened?"
Immediately afterwards, other people came over one after another. Apparently, the energy fluctuations that had just erupted here had alerted them.
"It's okay, I was practicing just now." In order to dispel their suspicions, Zu An even opened the door to meet them.
Sang Hong looked around the room without revealing anything, and nodded when he saw nothing unusual: "Then be careful, and speak out if anything happens. The nearby guards will rush over as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your concern, uncle." After sending them away, Zu An closed the door again.
At this time, Xiao Yao walked out from behind the bed and asked curiously: "Why don't you notify them to arrest me together?"
"I can feel that you have no ill intentions, so why should I arrest you?" Zu An pulled up a stool and sat down, motioning for him to sit down too.
Xiao Yao was not polite, and sat down casually without any manners: "You are not old, but your mentality is quite open-minded."
Zu An was noncommittal: "Your Excellency, you came to me in the middle of the night, and you definitely didn't come to me just to have a family affair with me."
"I'm a little curious, why do you recognize me when you are so young? I have disappeared in the world for so many years, and I have almost forgotten my own name." Xiao Yao said sadly.
Zu An replied: "Actually, I have been to the academy several times before, and I have a pretty good relationship with the teachers in the back mountain. I may know them better than the average person."
Hearing him mention Shen Xuzi, Hei Baizi and others, Xiao Yao also had a smile on his face: "After so many years, they are still like this. Alas, but they have all become leaders in their respective fields, and I am the only one who
Senior brother's property is completely in ruins..."
Feeling his loneliness, Zu An said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so arrogant. The world says that you have fallen, but I think your swordsmanship is even better than the legend of your peak back then. I can only say that the world is wrong.
The Sword Immortal is still the same Sword Immortal."
Xiao Yao shook his head mockingly: "No, many things can't be undone."
Zu An said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what happened to you, your deeds inspired many people back then. For example, a friend I know regards you as his idol..."
He told Xiao Jianren's story in general, but of course he concealed a lot of details to prevent anyone from guessing that he was Gold Medal Eleven.
Xiao Yao was a little surprised to hear that someone admired him so much. He was a little distracted, obviously recalling the glorious past.
Zu Anxin thought that if he launched a sneak attack at this time, the opponent would be seriously injured even if he was not dead. His emotions fluctuated so much, and he didn't know what he had gone through to make him like this.
"It's not a waste to be able to guide a young man to be positive. It's time for a drink." Xiao Yao laughed, took a few sips from the gourd of wine, and then asked Zu An if he wanted it.
Zu An shook his head, this man is really an alcoholic, he can always find various reasons to drink.
After putting down the wine bottle, Xiao Yao suddenly stopped smiling, and his sleepy eyes became a little sharp: "Why did you touch the inner courtyard of the Pei family during the day?"
"Manman and I are friends." Zu An replied, and at the same time asked, "Then why are you there?"
"Her mother and I are friends." Speaking of her mother, a hint of tenderness flashed in Xiao Yao's eyes.
Zu An looked strange. Is this friend you are talking about serious?
"You brat, what are you thinking about?" As if aware of his thoughts, Xiao Yao glared at him angrily.
Zu An asked tentatively: "Aren't you Manman's biological father?"
If the other party is my father-in-law, it will be great fun.
Xiao Yao's face turned red: "Don't talk nonsense, Manman's mother is pure and pure, don't insult her reputation."
Seeing his reaction, Zu An roughly guessed what was going on, and Xiao Yao's status in his heart dropped rapidly.
I originally thought that the other party and Damanman's mother were lovers, but now it seems that not only are they not lovers, they seem to be just the goddess's licking - a dog.
Xiao Yao gradually calmed down and looked at his neck: "I fought with you during the day and saw you wearing a flame-shaped pendant. Where did you get it?"
Zu An's heart moved. No wonder the other party's murderous intent instantly weakened a lot. He took out the strange-shaped pendant and showed a gentle smile on his face: "Da Manman gave it to me."
Xiao Yao was a little distracted for a moment, and his expression when looking at Zu An became extremely complicated: "She actually gave this pendant to you."
Zu An was disturbed: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yao shook his head, as if he was recalling something, and after a while he said: "This pendant used to belong to her mother, and later her mother passed it to Manman. This is their most precious thing, and will only be given to the most precious.
Dear lover."
Zu An silently took the pendant back. This guy didn't get Damanman's mother's pendant back then, so don't let him snatch it away out of jealousy.
Xiao Yao laughed dumbly: "Since you and Manman have this kind of relationship, then I can safely leave her to your protection. I have to leave for something, and I won't be able to protect her for a while, so I'm a little worried."
Zu An: "Senior is indeed protecting her."
Pretty much what I guessed.
Xiao Yao nodded: "Manman's mother died young, and later his father married a woman from the Yu family and gave birth to a younger brother, Pei Xing at today's banquet. Because her mother has no status, Manman is in Pei
My family’s status and situation have always been embarrassing.”
Zu An felt a little distressed when he heard this. He could completely imagine what life Manman had lived since he was a child. But the first time he saw her, she was smiling and smiling. She obviously buried all the bitterness in her heart and smiled.
Use it as your own protective color.
"The mother and son of the Yu family often made things difficult for Manman by virtue of their status as the first wife and legitimate son, as well as their natal family background. Pei Shao was also very partial, so Manman couldn't bear to be disturbed. He rarely stayed at home and was always traveling outside.
It has also been quiet for a few days."
"But after she came back this time, she was put 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 leave with me no matter what."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yao showed a look of pain.
"Why doesn't she want to leave?" Zu An asked curiously. Da Manman probably doesn't have the kind of personality that tolerates being bullied.
Xiao Yao laughed at himself: "I guess she hates me because of her mother's affairs."
Zu An immediately looked strange, and said that you and her mother are just ordinary friends?
Xiao Yao obviously didn't want to discuss this topic in depth and continued: "Later, after my investigation, I finally found out that Pei You wanted to marry her to the prince of Qi as a concubine."
Although he had learned about this from Pei You before, Zu An was still furious when he heard: "Is Zhao Zhi worthy?"
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Yao nodded with deep sympathy: "Yes, with Manman's talent and appearance, even being the main concubine is a waste of talent, but to be used as a side concubine, Pei Shao has also lost his mind!"
Zu An looked in the direction of the Pei family, thinking that no matter what he said, he would never get Da Manman to marry someone else.
"I can't take Manman away, so I have been protecting her secretly during this period to prevent her from being bullied. Unfortunately, I have to leave for something recently, so I can rest assured that I will leave her protection to you."
Xiao Yao said happily.
"Don't worry, I will protect her!" Zu An 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 level should be enough to cope with various situations, just in case, bring this with you.
My sword intention is sealed in it. If I encounter any difficult enemy in the future, I can use it to attack the opponent, which is equivalent to a full blow from me."
"There are not many people in the entire Yunzhong County who can withstand my full blow." There was a sense of pride in his tone.
After finishing speaking, Zu An didn't wait for him to stay, and quickly disappeared out of the window: "The sword rides on the wind to slay demons in the world... You give me a poem, and I will give you a gift in return. It's even. Hahaha!"
