Chapter 17 I Was the One Who Came First

Guo Fan and the guard stared at each other for three seconds, not knowing what was going on.

Why is he apologizing to me?

“Cough cough.”

In the end, Guo Fan was the first to speak. “Liao Mu, are you not home today?”

Oh no! He really came to seek revenge!

The guard immediately became alert. Not only did he call the old master by his name, but he also used the word “also.” It was too obvious.

Moreover, there was a hidden fierce look in his eyes, revealing a murderous aura. Even though he looked like a weak scholar on the outside, in reality, he must have killed someone not long ago.

“My old master today...” The experienced guard, who was good at reasoning, paused for a moment and said amiably, “He's at home.”

“??”

This time it was Guo Fan who was puzzled. This method of yours was not right.

When the guard saw the frown on the black-haired youth's face, as if he was very dissatisfied, he understood what was going on.

As expected, he was fishing, right?

As long as he said that the old master was not home, the other side would directly attack him and attack him all the way in. Humph, humph, he had already seen through this trick!

The nursing home gave a praise for its quick-witted self.

Guo Fan thought to himself, after all, he was in the game world now, so it was understandable that there was something different.

With a good person around, he could pay him a visit.

“Can I go in now?”

Guo Fan pretended to walk up the stairs in front of the door.

“Hey, hey, hey!” The guard quickly stopped him. “No!”

Guo Fan stopped and looked at him kindly. “Why not?”

The guard was stunned. He scratched his cheek and said, “Today, I can't do it today. Now my master is receiving guests...”

Guo Fan questioned, “They are also guests. They can enter, but I, Guo Xiaobo, can't enter?”

The guard was at a loss for words. His eyes were empty for a long time. Suddenly, he clenched his fist with his left hand. He suddenly realized something and said, “This is different. The old master is receiving other guests. The atmosphere will be very awkward if you go in. The old master did not know who to treat either. What if they were discussing some important matters? So you can't go in now! ”

... “”

Guo Fan looked at the righteous and excited expression on the guardian's face and felt a little complicated in his heart.

Why did he feel like I would just kill my way in?

He had never interacted with this courtyard guard before in the game. He didn't know that it was because of this character, but it was also strange that he was lively.

“Cough... Then, what if I had an agreement with your old master first?”

One of them sat at the head of the table, and he was around thirty plus years old. His black hair hung loosely, and he had a handsome appearance. His figure was thin, and his eyes were like thick ink.

He wore a green robe with a Buddhist head, and only wore a single white robe. He held a brush in his hand, and seemed to be painting. It was Liao Mu.

From the looks of it, Liao Mu was absolutely worthy of the words' humble gentleman ‘,' gentle as jade, and even had a sense of the elegance and unruliness of a renowned scholar like Xie Jin.

On the table were the four treasures of the literary world and an ancient zither.

It seemed like this fellow was playing this zither and had caused all the players to be so furious that they could not do anything about it. As a result, the forum had placed a bounty on Liao Mu's information, which allowed Guo Fan to take advantage of it.

Guo Fan complained in his heart. He looked up and saw the golden progress bar.

The golden color represented the drawing of a card.

Guo Fan was very pleased. He had finally fed it for nothing.

Look, isn't this just a room full of Experience Scroll?

Take it for free!

Other than Liao Mu, the two people kneeling opposite him should be the guests he was receiving.

One old, one young, one male, and one female.

The old man had a hunched back and was wearing a soft white robe. His back was arched and looked somewhat terrifying.

His face was full of wrinkles, and his white hair was tied with a wooden hairpin. The side of his neck and face were covered with rough veins that looked like dark green tree bark, and so were his slender fingers.

He turned his head and looked at Guo Fan out of the corner of his eye. His long and narrow eyes were the dark golden vertical pupils of beasts.

As for the woman, she sat quietly, with her ten fingers crossed on her knees. Her face was fair and pretty, and she had a pair of limpid autumn eyes. She was also wearing a white robe.

Guo Fan secretly took a deep breath. The identities of these two people were definitely not simple.

Guo Fan did not have the impression of these two people, and there was no progress bar on top of the woman's head.

More importantly, at this time, in a place that the players did not know about.

Liao Mu met these two people.

This might be a plot hidden behind the Informant of Novice Village, Liao Mu, or even... A plot that did not appear in the expansion of the previous version of Guo Fan.

“Damn it, the butterfly effect of one or two... Forget it, I am only here to get an Experience Scroll. I will leave after taking it.”

Guo Fan looked at the progress bar above Liao Mu's head and immediately felt relieved.

He composed himself and looked at the fresh scene of new lotus leaves in the east pond. He could imagine the endless green lotus leaves in the middle of summer and honestly said, “I quite like it.”

The silent atmosphere was temporarily broken.

The old man looked back and even the air seemed to be flowing.

The guard standing at the side said respectfully, “Master, he said he had an agreement with you first, so I brought him here.”

Liao Mu put down the pen in his hand, paused, and nodded with a smile. “There is indeed an appointment... Shao Song, you go back and guard the door first.”

It turned out that the guard was called Shao Song.
