Demonic Cultivation: Starting from a Horse Bandit

The next morning.

The news that King Rui had recruited Xu Sanyan as his son-in-law spread like wildfire. When Yang Qizhu learned the news, his face was as exciting as a beautiful actress on the stage.

She didn't expect her father to be so sinister that he would resort to such tactics as recruiting a son-in-law.

He completely forgot that he also planned to let Xu Sanyan join Cui's family.

"I remember... I was only sixteen years old when I prayed, and the way I prayed..."

Yang Qizhu pursed her lips and prayed that it was her half-sister. She was born with a slight deformity, with outwardly turned lips and teeth, a rickety left arm, a stiff right leg, and a limp when she walked.

In terms of appearance alone, there is a huge difference between him and me.

If she were betrothed to an ordinary family, she would be considered married by virtue of her status in the palace, and her husband's family would not dare to embarrass her no matter what.

But Sanyan is different. He is a warrior in the heavenly and human realm, so he is not a good match no matter how he looks at it.

The head of the Cui family sighed, "Xu Sanyan's talent is too high. He is in the realm of heaven and humanity at the age of twenty. It is normal for the prince to do this. Besides, the prince has spoken in person, so there is no room for him to refuse."

Yang Qizhu sighed, it was indeed true, even if Xu Sanyan was in the heavenly realm, he could not disobey his father's wishes.

…

There is a waterside pavilion in the inner courtyard of the palace. A woman is wearing a pale pink dress sitting on a wooden chair, holding a book in her hand and reading it carefully. From a distance, her temperament is gentle and quiet, as if she blends in with the attic behind her, without any abruptness. feel.

But as the branches and leaves on the tree fell, the woman raised her head, and her protruding lips ruined this beauty.

"Alas...the leaves are falling again."

Yang Qiyuan raised her palm, and a bird on the eaves in the distance landed on her palm. The bird tilted its head and stared at her with a pair of smart eyes.

As if sensing her low mood, the bird flew to her shoulder and rubbed her cheek with its wings, as if whispering comfort.

Yang Qiyuan smiled and felt much better. He raised his palm to send the bird away, "Go and pursue your freedom."

This bird is not her pet, it is just an ordinary sparrow in the world.

"Miss, it's a happy event, a happy event."

At the end of the waterside pavilion corridor, a little maid with her hair tied up in a bun ran over with a happy face, shouting loudly, without any sense of propriety that a master and servant should have.

Yang Qiyuan didn't care, and just smiled and said to her, "You are frizzy, so speak slowly and smoothly."

The maid picked up the tea on the table to moisten her dry throat, and said with surprise, "Miss, what do you think I heard?"

Yang Qiyuan lovingly helped her smooth the wrinkles on her clothes and shook her head gently, "How could I have guessed this?"

The maid rolled her eyes and chuckled, "It has something to do with you."

Yang Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, "Father, did you betroth me to someone else?"

The maid was surprised and said, "Have you heard?"

Yang Qiyuan shook his head. She stayed in this waterside pavilion every day to study and never had contact with outsiders. She relied on her maid to find out information about the outside world. She would never hear about it, it was just speculation.

The maid obviously didn't believe it, and then said, "Miss, guess again who the prince has betrothed you to?"

Yang Qiyuan laughed at herself. Her appearance was famous throughout the Qi Kingdom. Everyone knew that King Rui's youngest daughter was ugly and had a strange appearance. Which elite family would be willing to marry her?

Whoever was willing to marry her was simply because of her father's power, or because she was forced to do so, and she had already resigned herself to her fate.

"Which handsome family is so unlucky that he is forced to marry an ugly guy like me?" Yang Qiyuan said bitterly.

The maid did not hear her young lady's self-deprecation, and still smiled and said, "My name is Xu Sanyan."

"May?"

Yang Qiyuan's first reaction was to search for a big family named Xu in his mind. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find the right one.

"Have you heard of the Xu family?" Yang Qiyuan asked.

The maid shook her head, "I heard that Mr. Xu is not the son of a big family, but just an ordinary person."

Yang Qiyuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. No matter what, Mr. Xu exchanged his happiness for a lifetime of wealth, so it was not a loss.

The maid said mysteriously, "Miss, this Mr. Xu is amazing..."

Yang Qiyuan looked sideways and laughed softly, "How is it so amazing?"

"I heard that Mr. Xu is no more than ten years old and is already a warrior in the Heavenly Realm!"

"What?"

Yang Qiyuan was shocked and accidentally dropped the book in his hand to the ground.

The maid doesn't know how to practice. She only heard what others said and doesn't understand the meaning of being a warrior in the Heavenly Realm.

But Yang Qiyuan is different. She has been exposed to these since she was a child, and she is a warrior herself. Although her strength is not mentioned, she is more or less an insider. She can understand what a twenty-year-old Heavenly Realm warrior represents.

"Heavenly Realm..."

Yang Qiyuan felt a deep sense of inferiority in her heart. She knew that she was not worthy of her. With her cultivation in the realm of heaven and human beings, why would she marry her if she couldn't get what kind of woman she wanted?

I'm afraid I was forced into helplessness.

Yang Qiyuan sighed softly, leaned over to pick up the book, and sat calmly on the chair to continue reading.

At this point, all she could do was go with the flow.

The maid's heart surged. She heard that Mr. Xu was not only very powerful, but also very handsome. As the maid who would accompany him in bed...

Thinking of this, the little maid couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

…

In a huge mansion in the west of the city, Xu Sanyan was looking through the accounts of the mansion in the study, with an old man standing respectfully in front of him.

This house was awarded to him by King Rui, and the old man was the housekeeper of the house.

Xu Sanyan threw the account away and looked up at the old man, "Uncle Zhao, you are still in charge of all matters in the mansion. Just make your arrangements."

Uncle Zhao bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

He knew that Uncle Zhao must be a spy planted by King Rui, but he didn't care.

With Xu Sanyan's cultivation, it was easy to avoid their sight.

Xu Sanyan got up and walked out of the house and walked towards the Cui family. He hadn't got the twenty precious medicines that he had discussed with Yang Qizhu before, so he went to get them.

Yesterday, King Rui set the wedding date on the spot, as if he was afraid that he would regret it. The wedding date was seven days later.

He didn't know anything about his future wife, and it was as exciting as opening a blind box.

But King Rui said that his daughter was beautiful and easy-going, so she must be not much worse.

After crossing two long streets, Xu Sanyan came to a mansion with the words "Cui Mansion" written on the plaque above.

Two guards stood outside the Cui Mansion, stepped forward and stretched out their hands to stop him, "Young Master, do you have a visiting card?"

Xu Sanyan shook his head, "Tell Yang Qizhu that Xu Sanyan is here."

The two guards looked at each other and said, "It turns out to be Young Master Xu. The master has already told you to come in."

One of them took Xu Sanyan to the hall and sat down, and the other went to invite the master.

Just at this time, a young man passed by the hall, glanced at him inadvertently, and pulled the guard, "Who is this person?"

The guard whispered, "Reply to the second young master, he is Xu Sanyan."

The young man's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he turned his head to see if he was Xu Sanyan who had been making a lot of noise recently?

A 20-year-old Tianren Realm warrior, who killed Wang Chengming, a general under the eldest young master, and yesterday it was reported that he would marry the youngest daughter of King Rui.

He stole the limelight of the whole city.

As a young master of the Cui family, he heard this name from his aunt Yang Qizhu more than once.

The most hateful thing is that Yang Qizhu, who usually disdains him, treats Xu Sanyan differently and even goes to Wanglong County to meet her in person, which makes him even more jealous.

He has never seen Yang Qizhu so attentive to someone.

The young man pursed his lips subconsciously, hating in his heart.

He has admired his aunt for a long time, but he dared not express it because of his status, nor did he dare to let others know.

He loves Yang Qizhu too much. Her words, actions, frowns and smiles all touch his heartstrings.

But why is she his own aunt?

The young man's mind was engulfed by desire, and his palms clenched into fists unconsciously.
