Chapter 63: The An Sisters (Part 1)

  The young and innocent An Jiaojiao tilted her head, slightly furrowed her brow, and stared at Xiao Ziyang's face with big, shining eyes that blinked slowly. A mischievous glint flashed across her face from time to time, making him feel inexplicably flustered and almost unable to resist the urge to touch his face to see if there was anything wrong.

  Xiao Ziyang, who was a bit flustered at being stared at, momentarily forgot to answer An Yucan's question.

  Looking at the young man in front of her who was staring blankly at his sister, An Yuxuan felt slightly displeased. The smile on her face faded, and she spoke again, her voice taking on a hint of coldness, "May I ask this hero's surname and given name?"

  Xiao Ziyang listened to the other party's slightly displeased tone, his face slightly flushed, and in a moment of panic, he actually told the truth: "Ah! Oh, I'm Xiao Ziyang. Today, I happened to meet him by chance, so naturally, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. It was just a small effort, not worth mentioning."

  Xiao Ziyang's fluster made An Jiaxiaomei cover her mouth and laugh.

  That beautiful and gentle second sister couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile, she spoke out before the even more displeased eldest sister: "This Xiao Daxia, although we killed the Iron Riders' third leader and this bandit's horse thief, the Iron Riders' second and third leaders are just some second-rate goods, not worth mentioning. The Iron Riders can dominate Jinzhou, and be called kings in the three western states, all thanks to Cao Tianhao's power alone! As long as this person doesn't die, the Iron Riders will still be the Iron Riders... Let's leave quickly, if he returns to the stronghold, we four are not his match."

  Xiao Ziyang slightly hesitated, although he bore a blood feud and was mature beyond his years, but after all, he was still less than twenty years old, and with the beauty in front of him, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of desire from the bottom of his heart.

  "He said in a low voice: 'That's right, Cao Tianhao indeed has high martial arts skills. If I hadn't relied on my sharp hidden weapons, I would have absolutely been unable to kill him.'"

  The three An sisters widened their eyes upon hearing this, and An Yuxuan let out a soft, cold snort before turning around to leave, saying: "Second sister, third sister, let's go!"

  Although Xiao Ziyang had just shown extraordinary skills, with a shooting technique that was extremely high, how could she believe that this young man who looked like he was only in his early twenties, with red lips and white teeth, could kill Cao Tianhao, the number one master of the northwest martial arts world for nearly ten years? She suddenly regarded him as an arrogant and frivolous person.

  Although this person helped Ermei and Sanmei, even without him, with their lightness skills, as long as they opened up their body methods and fought against the horse bandits, they could still win, it's just that they couldn't kill all of the horse bandits.

  Xiao Ziyang had just spoken the words and already regretted them, so he naturally wouldn't explain himself. He awkwardly rubbed his nose, watching as the three sisters turned around and left.

  At this moment, the little girl who had been staring at him from head to toe suddenly turned around and pointed at him: "I remember! I remember, that's why he looks so familiar!"

  An Yu and Cui stopped in their tracks and asked together: "Little sister, what did you remember?"

  The little girl pointed at Xiao Ziyang and turned her head to the two sisters, saying: "It's him, he's the masked man who saved us in Shuoan City!"

  The two of them immediately turned their heads to look at Xiao Ziyang, and after a moment, An Yuxuan asked with some doubt: "Little sister, you may have mistaken the person? The benefactor from back then not only had his face covered, but I remember that the skin between his eyebrows was dark, and it's completely different from this person."

  The little girl was suddenly confused, she scratched her head and said uncertainly: "But his eyes are exactly the same as that benefactor that night, and his voice is also similar..."

  An Yuwan and her sister looked at Xiao Ziyang carefully as soon as they heard this.

  Xiao Ziyang was also taken aback, thinking to himself: "Can he really recognize me?" Fortunately, he had always been confident that even if his father-in-law were standing in front of him, he would still be unable to recognize him.

  But he thought again, and felt that his appearance had changed greatly, but in fact, only the skin tone had changed from dark to rough to white and delicate, and the facial features had not changed much, let alone the eyes and voice. If it was someone who was used to seeing him before, they would probably not recognize him at first glance.

  But he covered his face that night, and the little girl only remembered his eyes and voice, which is why she recognized him now.

  However, he didn't plan to admit it. He hid his surname and name in Nanba County, wasn't that to cut off the connection with his previous identity? He hastily opened his mouth to deny: "You said Shuo An? I am a native of Chu State, and have never been to Shuo An."

  It's better for him not to say anything, but once he opens his mouth to deny it, things only get worse.

  The little girl heard this and pointed at him, shouting: "You're deceiving people! Your speech clearly has a Ganzhou accent, how can you say you're from Chuzhou?"

  Xiao Ziyang heard the words and suddenly felt a blackness in front of his eyes, he was so angry that he wanted to slap himself. He was usually considered clever, but tonight he was confused.

  Xiao Ziyang had been under immense pressure since he discovered his family's identity, which was also the main reason why he would be invaded by the heart demon tonight. At this moment, being told about his origins by the little girl, he suddenly thought of that terrifying Xiao family, and the pressure in his heart came with it. The heart demon that had been suppressed by him began to stir again, and a hint of murderous intent actually arose in his heart towards the three people!

  Three sisters, An Jia, have recently undergone great changes. Their entire family was slaughtered by the Iron Riders, and An Yu's arranged marriage was also called off due to this. The three returned home but not only did they not receive help, they were also tormented by rumors and gossip. Helpless, they set out on a journey of revenge, chasing after their enemies for thousands of miles. Along the way, they have become seasoned veterans, cautious yet sensitive.

  Xiao Ziyang's killing intent emerged simultaneously, and the three of them suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. They immediately retreated, drew their swords, and were shocked in their hearts.

  The three people only felt that the young man in front of them, who had just seemed a bit immature, suddenly turned into a giant beast from the primordial chaos, as if he was about to devour someone!

  Xiao Ziyang's murderous intent arose, and he immediately felt the heart demon he had just suppressed stirring again, startled and frightened, he hastily suppressed the murderous intent in his mind.

  Xiao Ziyang was never a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately, let alone three weak and feeble women, or even ordinary merchants. He would not have killed people randomly to silence them. However, when he cultivated the "Purple Jade Smoke", he entered a state of confusion, his mental state failed to keep up with the improvement of his martial arts, and his spirit became exceptionally fragile, repeatedly being taken advantage of by evil spirits.

  At this time, Xiao Ziyang had gradually come to realize that he was probably cultivating the wrong thing and had neglected some very important things in "Zi Yu Sheng Yan", his heart was extremely disturbed.

  He impatiently shouted at the three sisters: "Get going, I'm not your benefactor or anything."
