Hero Son-in-law

Xiao Ziyi glared fiercely at him with her almond-shaped eyes.    

"Heh heh, it's always been like this."    

Yang Jiekai smiled in embarrassment, "Actually, it's not that big of a deal. I'm a person who likes peace and quiet, not too much trouble. I don't have any pursuit for fame or wealth and just want to live in peace. You know what I mean."    

"Sometimes I don't understand you."    

Xiao Ziyi let out a soft sigh and could guess what he meant, "I've seen three truly indifferent masters, one is the Void Master of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, one is Ling Xuanzi of the Wu Dang Mountain. My family's old man can barely be counted as one, plus you, there's a total of four."    

"However, I'm very curious. Among the top three, the youngest is already eighty. Moreover, that stage of being indifferent towards fame and fortune is obtained after experiencing countless storms and after seeing through the mundane world."    

"But you are only about the same age as me. Why do you always look so old?" And I always felt that you must have a story, and a very good one at that. Can you tell me why? "    

Seeing that Yang Jiekai wanted to say something but hesitated, a trace of cute craftiness flashed across Xiao Ziyi's eyes. She slightly raised the corner of her mouth and said, "If you tell me, I promise I will keep today's matter a secret and will never mention a word about you."    

"Otherwise, if I reveal that you killed a wild boar king with your bare hands, it will definitely cause a sensation. At that time, let's see how you will calm down."    

"Sis, you're my blood sister, can I admit defeat?"    

Yang Jiekai wanted to cry but had no tears. In front of this woman, he could only sigh and say, "I can't tell you everything. I can only say that I do have a story, and that my story will be more wonderful than any novel."    

After saying that, his eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of gloom, as if he recalled some memories that he did not want to bring up, and he let out a long sigh, "In fact, the story about me that was described as wonderful still seems somewhat pale. To be more accurate, the things that I have experienced, can be summarized with the words' blood 'and' hell '."    

Xiao Ziyi didn't pursue the matter any further, instead, she stared fixedly at the young man who was about the same age as her.    

Bloody? Hell?    

Those who used these two words to describe their own story must have had an unimaginable experience before.    

When he said those words earlier, there was a trace of desolation in his eyes, causing a soft spot deep within Xiao Ziyi's heart to be stirred for a moment.    

What had this man been through?    

"I don't care what purpose you have in getting close to me. I don't want to know, much less know."    

Yang Jiekai suddenly laughed, "But we've faced life and death together today, so I've already made this friend of yours. If you have anything to say to me in the future, I don't have any other merits, it's just that I'm more loyal, so I think I'm barely qualified to be your friend."    

"Alright, I'll remember your words."    

Xiao Ziyi did not say those useless pleasantries, and smiled, "Since you're so honest, I'll hand it over to you as well. The purpose of intentionally getting close to you is very simple, our Xiao Family looks impressive on the outside, but some potential dangers have already begun to reveal themselves."    

"We must receive talents from all around the world to help us prepare for any unknown dangers that might erupt at any time."    

"That day at the banquet, your skills shocked me so much that I had the intention of placing you under our Xiao Family. However, after today's interactions, I have completely dispelled this idea."    

Saying that, she let out a light breath, turned around and continued looking at Yang Jiekai, "I can see that, in this world, besides you, no one else can restrain you."    

"Fortunately, you and I have become friends. Otherwise, I cannot imagine the day when we become enemies. How our Xiao Family will face off against a powerhouse who can kill an 800 jin wild boar king with his bare hands."    

Yang Jiekai liked Xiao Ziyi's way of speaking very much. She didn't have those annoying, careful machines, small schemes, and she didn't have to beat around the bush. She didn't have to mince words, making the conversation feel really good.    

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have the confidence to fight that wild boar king today. That's why I have half of your military medallion."    

Yang Jiekai laughed, "Oh yeah, there's something I almost forgot. I underestimated the speed of that wild boar king, so if we follow the original plan, we will definitely die there."    

"But when that wild boar king was about to catch up to you, how did you think of suddenly changing your direction?"    

When fighting with the wild boar king just now, the key to winning was the moment when the wild boar king was about to pounce on her. Xiao Ziyi just happened to change direction, causing the wild boar king to freeze in midair for a moment, allowing Yang Jiekai to find an opportunity to attack its vitals.    

However, there was a mysterious problem. The moment Xiao Ziyi changed directions, she was able to grasp both the timing and the situation of the battle with great precision. It was not as simple as her instincts. How did she do it?    

"I admit that I just made a bet."    

Xiao Ziyi laughed, "In the entire battle, the best opportunity for you to make a move is right when the Wild Boar King is about to activate."    

"But at that instant, I didn't feel you attack, so I determined that the wild boar king's speed definitely exceeded your expectations."    

"Since all the previous tactics have been disrupted, I have to make some random moves. The moment the Wild Boar King pounced at me, I took the initiative and changed my direction."    

"Although I don't know much about punches and kicks, I know that the best time to attack is when the opponent loses his center of gravity."    

"The first time the Wild Boar King's body was activated, you missed this opportunity, so I thought of a way to help you create a second opportunity. I was lucky, I made the right bet."    

Yang Jiekai swallowed his saliva, "You really are a demon!"    

This time, he was completely convinced. He wholeheartedly approved of the kind of thing that required a combination of hands and feet.    

Even though Xiao Ziyi said it in a very casual manner, it was the calculation of the situation, the calculation of random variables, and the calculation of all sorts of complicated factors. Furthermore, it was all done in such a short period of time.    

The car slowly stopped in front of the hotel where Xiao Ziyi was staying. Yang Jiekai smiled and said, "Go back and have a good night's sleep. I'll come back to find you tomorrow and take you to play at Nanjiang for a few days."    

Xiao Ziyi shook her head gently. "No, I'll fly back to Jiangnan tomorrow morning. I'll give you a call early next time."    

He didn't know why, but when Yang Jiekai heard this, he felt a bit disappointed, "Then how long will it be next time?"    

Xiao Ziyi smiled. "I don't know. Maybe it's been a few days, maybe it's been a few years, or maybe …" Forget it, let's not talk about this. The greatest essence of this world is that everything is filled with immortality. No one can predict what will happen in the next second.    

"You're still saying that I'm old and overbearing? I think you are."    

Yang Jiekai laughed, "Alright, go back and rest early. Technology is so advanced nowadays. If you have nothing to do, just send me a message or make a phone call. Don't make it seem like you're leaving them alive."    

Xiao Ziyi opened the car door and walked towards the hotel. Just as she took two steps, she turned around and asked, "What's the relationship between us now?"    

Yang Jiekai was stunned for a moment and then smiled. He took something out of his pocket, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I prepared a small gift for you. You should think about it."
