Chapter 17
I Was Clearly Here First
Liu Yuan and the guard looked at each other affectionately for three seconds, somewhat confused.
Why does he look like he has let me down
“Ahem.” In the end, it was Liu Yuan who spoke first. “Xie Qian. Is he not in again?”
This is bad! As expected, he was here to seek revenge!
The guard was immediately alert. Not only did he call the Old Master by his name, but he also used the word ‘again’. It was too obvious.
Moreover, he had a sharp look in his eyes and a murderous aura. Even if he looked like a weak scholar on the outside, he must have just killed someone not long ago.
“Today, Old Master...” The experienced guard who was good at reasoning paused and said with a pleasant expression, “He’s in.”
…
This time, it was Liu Yuan’s turn to be confused. Your method is wrong.
The guard saw the black-haired youth frowning, as if he was very dissatisfied, and his heart was completely clear.
So, he was indeed fishing!
As long as he said that the Old Master was not home, the other party would immediately attack and fight their way in. Hmph, he had already seen through this trick!
The guard gave himself a thumbs up for his quick-witted self.
Liu Yuan muttered to himself, “after all, we’re in a game world now. It’s understandable that there are some differences.”
Since he was here, he could visit this place.
“Can I go in now?” Liu Yuan pretended to walk up the Jade stairs in front of the door.
” Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! ” The guards quickly stopped him. “No! ” 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦
Liu Yuan stopped in his tracks, his eyes kind. “Why can’t I?”
The guard was dumbfounded and scratched his face. He said awkwardly, “Not, not today. My Master has a guests inside now...”
“They’re all guests, ” Liu Jun Xuan said. ” they can enter, but I can’t? ”
The guard was at a loss for words. His eyes were empty for a long time. Suddenly, he clenched his left fist and punched his right palm. He suddenly realized something and said,”It’s different. Master is receiving other guests. If you enter, it will be very embarrassing. Master doesn’t know who to receive. Additionally, they might be discussing something important. Therefore, you can not enter now!”
“...”
Liu Yuan looked at the Guard’s righteous and excited look, and his heart was a little complicated.
Why did he seem to think that I would charge in directly
He had not interacted much with this guard in the game, so he didn’t know what kind of personality he had. He was quite lively.
“Ahem... Then what if I have an appointment with your Master?” Liu Yuan started to bluff.
If he needed to start scamming again, he would. The favorability from gifting items would not decrease, so it was no big deal to cheat and scam. Players who paid money were just that arrogant.
“You have an appointment? Umm...” The guard was stunned.
Liu Yuan continued, “Since there’s an appointment, then I’m the one who came first. I’m clearly the one who came first. Why can’t I go in? ”
Why did it feel so strange
The guard was dumbfounded, but he could not find any logical loopholes. The most important thing was...
His Old Master actually did not ask him to chase this guy away.
“O-okay, come with me.” The guard helplessly opened the door.
Liu Yuan was led into the house and looked at the layout of the house. There were small bridges and flowing water, fake mountains and real trees, pavilions and terraces. It was a very elegant su-style garden with twists and turns.
In his heart, he marveled at the rich.
He had never entered this map in the game, or rather, no player had ever entered it.
In the novice village, this map was the only one that was still undeveloped.
As for the rest, they had already been thoroughly searched by the players.
What? Robbery
Could a player’s business be called robbery
This was called gathering supplies for an important matter that could affect future development.
Under the guard’s lead, Liu Yuan passed by a cool lotus pond and came to a pavilion beside the pond.
Although he tried his best to suppress his envy, Liu Yuan still could not help but look around a few more times.
One of his greatest wishes... Was to have a house like this.
Of course, he was not talking about the entire Xie residence. This level of garden could not be obtained without Jack Ma as your father.
He only wanted a small courtyard with a lotus pond. He wanted to plant some plants around it so that he could enjoy the cool in the summer.
“Little friend, you seem to like this courtyard very much?” It was a gentle and easy-going baritone.
Although he had not heard it for a long time, he still wanted to know what was going on.
Liu Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and found that the bottom floor of the pavilion was connected on both sides. It looked like a pavilion with four pillars and railings bearing weight. From here, he could see the lotus pond on the other side.
Silk paintings of mountains and rivers hung all around. Some were completely framed, while others were just a piece of silk, fluttering slightly in the wind.
In the middle of the hall, there was a table with three people sitting on it.
One of them sat at the head of the table. He was about 30 years old and had long black hair. He had a clear and handsome face, a thin body, and a pair of eyes that were as dark as ink.
He was wearing a green robe, and only a white shirt inside. He seemed to be painting with a brush in his hand. He was Xie Qian.
In terms of appearance, Xie Qian was definitely worthy of the words ‘modest gentleman’, ‘gentle as jade’. He gave off the feel of carefreeness and unruliness.
On the table were the four treasures of the study and a zither.
... This guy must have made the players so angry that they were helpless when he played the zither, so much so that the forum offered a reward for Xie Qian’s information, which allowed Liu Yuan to take advantage of it.
Liu Yuan cursed in his heart. He looked up and saw the golden, full progress bar.
The gold color represented the card draw.
Liu Yuan was very pleased that he did not feed this guy gifts for nothing.
Look, he was about to get a room full of exp scrolls, okay
For free!
Other than Xie Qian, the two people kneeling in front of him should be the guests he was receiving.
They were an old man and a young woman.
The old man had a hunched back and was wearing a soft white robe. His entire back was arched, and he looked a little terrifying.
His face was full of wrinkles, and his white hair was fixed in place with a wooden hairpin. The side of his neck and cheeks 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 Liu Yuan from the corner of his eye. His long and narrow eyes had the dark golden vertical pupils of a beast.
As for the woman, she was sitting quietly with her fingers crossed on her knees. Her face was fair and beautiful, and her eyes were like limpid autumn waters. She was also wearing a white robe.
Liu Yuan took a deep breath. The identities of these two people were definitely not simple.
Liu Yuan had no impression of these two people, and there was no progress bar above the woman’s head.
More importantly, it was at a time that the players did not know about.
Xie Qian met the two of them.
This might be the plot hidden behind Xie Qian, the recluse in the novice village. It might even be ... A plot that did not appear in the information film of the version before Liu Yuan transmigrated.
“Damn it, I’m going to cause more butterfly effects again... Forget it, I’m only here to get an exp scroll this time. I’ll leave after I get it.”
Liu Yuan looked at the progress bar above Xie Qian’s head and immediately felt relieved.
He composed himself and looked at the fresh and green scenery of the lake outside. He could imagine what kind of endless green paradise place would be like in midsummer. He honestly said, “I quite like it.”
The silent atmosphere was temporarily broken.
The old man retracted his gaze, and even the air seemed to start flowing.
The guard standing at the side said respectfully, “Master, he said that he had an appointment with you, so I brought him here.”
Xie Qian put down the pen in his hand, paused, and nodded with a smile. “I do have an appointment... Shaoying, go back and guard the door.”
So this guard was called Shaoying.
