The original silent hall suddenly sounded the hearty laughter of the old man, which was particularly abrupt, and also pulled the people who were in a state of distraction back to reality.

The silver-haired old lady's gaze when she looked at Xiao Yuan again had changed dramatically, and the scrutiny and suspicion had all disappeared, and all that was left was appreciation and relief.

"Old guy, congratulations, you are old, you can still find such a piece of jade, now young people, there are really not many people who can maintain such a pure heart, you have to cherish it." The silver-haired old lady let out a long sigh and said to the old man after his laughter had stopped.

"Do you still need to say this, I don't cherish my disciple, do I still need your old woman to cherish it?" The old man said with a smile, he was obviously in a very good mood at the moment.

The silver-haired old lady did not raise the bar with the old man this time, turned her gaze to Xiao Yuan again, and said: "Old body Guo Yulan, the second elder of the Hongmen Elders Association, before you officially become the old guy's disciple, you can call me the second elder, if you worship the old guy as a teacher, you can call me Uncle Guo, of course, if you don't look down on this old man, come to the old man's door, you think about it." ”

"Old woman, you're going to dig into my corner so soon, it's too unusual." When the old man heard Guo Yulan say this, he shouted loudly again in dissatisfaction, and this time, even the other ten elders sitting at the bottom of the group also followed suit, and the hall was suddenly in chaos, Xiao Yuan and Tang Sa were not cared about and became spectators.

After making noise for a while, the hall was quiet again, the old man's expression became solemn, and he said to Xiao Yuan: "Boy, your character is satisfactory to the old man, the old man also said just now, accepting you as an apprentice is the old man's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with Hongmen, of course, if you are willing to join Hongmen, the old man can be your recommender, but this matter is not reluctant, so you are satisfied?" ”

"Thank you, sir, the boy is satisfied." Xiao Yuan arched his hand to the old man and said.

"Well, do you have any other questions?" The old man asked, twisting his beard.

"From the conversation between you and the other seniors just now, the kid has already got his own answer, and there is no more problem." Xiao Yuan replied again.

"Okay, the old man accepts you as an apprentice, and he also has some requirements for you, just said the first point, you have given the old man the answer, the old man is also very satisfied, the old man still has a little request, I hope you can maintain your integrity and edges, don't be easily smoothed out by this world, you must always keep this in mind." The old man said again.

"Thank you, old man, for mentioning it, the kid will keep it in mind, no matter what he encounters in the future, he will firmly guard himself and not let himself be lost." Xiao Yuan said again.

"Well, that's very good, then, the old man is asking you now, the old man intends to take you as an apprentice, and teach you what the old man has learned in his life before he is about to die, are you willing to worship the old man as a teacher?" The old man nodded with satisfaction and asked with a serious expression.

"The boy is willing, the master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." Xiao Yuan got the answer he wanted, and naturally he would not reject the matter of worshiping the old man as a teacher, so according to what the old man said before, he knelt in front of the old man in a proper manner and kowtowed to him three times.

"Haha, okay, okay, hurry up, hurry up." The old man waited for Xiao Yuan to kowtow, stood up with a smile, reached out and helped him up from the ground, and pulled him to his side, as if he saw him for the first time, he looked at him again and again, laughed again, and said yes.

"Congratulations, old fellow, for your good harvest today." Guo Yulan congratulated the old man.

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, I said old woman, it's a little unkind to just talk about congratulations, isn't it something practical." The old man said with a smile.

"Hehe, boy, look at how good your master is to you, just worship the master, and start asking for gifts for you." Guo Yulan said to Xiao Yuan with a smile.

"Uncle Shi's heart boy has received it, but he doesn't dare to hope for the gift." Xiao Yuan hurriedly said.

"Boy, stand aside." The old man pulled Xiao Yuan aside, then stretched out his hand to Guo Yulan and said, "Old woman, quickly bring a gift." ”

"If you are a master, should you give your apprentice a meeting gift first?" The old lady laughed.

"Of course I have a greeting gift." The old man said, taking off an emerald green dragon-shaped pendant from his neck, and said to Xiao Yuan, "Come here, this pendant master has been wearing it for decades, and I will give it to you today." ”

"Old fellow, do you really want to give this pendant to your apprentice?" When Guo Yulan saw the pendant, her expression was a little complicated and a little surprised.

"Alas, old woman, we are both over eighty years old, and we are about to enter the coffin, and some things should be put down, so take out your pendant and give it to the girl." The old man sighed and said.

"Okay, since you put it down, my old woman can't let it go, girl, come here." Guo Yulan was stunned for a moment, beckoned Tang Sa over, took off a phoenix-shaped pendant with the same texture as the dragon-shaped pendant in the old man's hand from her neck, and said, "This pendant is for you." ”

"Thank you, Elder Guo!" Tang Sa didn't refuse, took the pendant from Guo Yulan's hand, bowed deeply to her, and expressed his gratitude.

"Boy, this pendant master gave it to you, and the sassy girl is a pair, I hope you can really make these two pendants a pair, instead of wasting your life like me and the old woman." The old man chased the dragon-shaped crane to Xiao Yuan, and gave a serious admonition.

"I will, thank you, master." Xiao Yuan took the pendant, thanked the master, and then stood with Tang Sa, glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and put the pendant in each other's hands on their necks.

"Yes, yes, what a couple." Guo Yulan smiled and praised her head.

"This matter is still a little troublesome, old woman, take out one of your two pendants and give it to this kid, otherwise I'm worried that he will catch fire in the backyard." The old man frowned, then sighed helplessly, and said to Guo Yulan.

"What, that pendant has nothing to do with you, why give it to this kid?" The old lady asked loudly with a look of vigilance and dissatisfaction.

"This kid's peach blossom luck is not small, in addition to this girl, there is another girl who is also dead set on him, and now the pendant is given to this girl, I'm worried that another girl will have an opinion." The old man explained.

"Boy, what your master said is true?" Guo Yulan's face changed when she heard this, and she asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly, scratched his head, and said, "It's true." ”

"Humph!" Guo Yulan snorted coldly, her face sinking like water.

"Old woman, don't be angry, let their young people solve the matter of their young people, that girl and this girl know each other, since they have no opinions, and even other people's parents have no opinions, why do you want to be rare and strange, you don't want to take out that pendant, just keep it yourself, we don't want it" The old man saw that Guo Yulan had a tendency to make a fortune, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Who said I didn't want to take it out, boy, the old body also has a pendant, which is exactly the same as the one I gave to the girl just now, and I can also give it to you, but the old body has a request." Guo Yulan said.

"Uncle Shi, you say." Xiao Yuan said.

"Treat the two girls well, let them be happy, the old body doesn't want the tragedy that happened to these three pendants to happen to you again, can you agree?" Guo Yulan said.

"They are all my lovers, I will naturally be good to them and make them happy, this is not necessary for you to order, uncle." Xiao Yuan replied.

"That's very good, I hope you can remember today's words, and after today's events are over, you go with the old man to get the pendant." Guo Yulan said.

"Thank you, uncle." Xiao Yuan said.

"Okay, it's time to give tea to your master, and I'll talk about another thing after the tea." Guo Yulan waved her hand and said.

At this time, a woman walked in from outside, holding a teapot and a teacup in her hand, came to the table of the eight immortals in the middle of the hall, put down the teatray, and poured the teacup for Xiao Yuan, and then Xiao Yuan took the teacup and respectfully handed it to the old man, and said, "Master, please drink tea." ”

"Good, good." The old man took the teacup, with a smile on his face, drank the tea, and then handed the teacup to Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan put the teacup on the teatray, and watched the woman take the teacup and teapot away.

"Okay, the apprenticeship matter is over for the time being, and in addition, you old guys can't just watch the excitement, and you can't miss a gift." After the woman left, the old man twisted his beard and said, not forgetting to ask the other elders for gifts.

"Let's get down to business." Guo Yulan said.

"Okay, let's talk about another thing, I propose that my apprentice, Xiao Yuan, as the elder of the outer sect of the next generation of Hongmen, you all have no opinion, right?" The old man said.

The other elders looked at each other, and then they all looked at the old man and Guo Yulan, and did not express their words immediately.

"Since you don't speak, I'll assume that you have agreed by default, and the matter is settled...... said the old man.

"Wait, I have an opinion." Guo Yulan interrupted the old man's self-assertion and said in a deep voice.

"Why is it that you old woman is always against me, tell me, what is your opinion?" The old man said very unhappily.

"I have no objection to your proposal to make this kid the next generation of Outer Gate Elders, but the Outer Gate Elders are of great significance to Hongmen, and this kid must first prove that he has the qualifications to serve as the Outer Gate Elder, otherwise your proposal is invalid." Guo Yulan said.
