Chapter 488: Courtyard

After that, Xiao Yan and Huangfu Nan were taken to the gate of a clean and tidy courtyard.

"This is where the three of you will practice in the future, and there is a teacher I found for the three of you, but whether he is willing to accept you as a disciple depends on your own creation.

Xiao Yan, because you are a member of my Xiao family, you can directly enjoy the treatment of an inner disciple, and you can go to the steward every month to receive a reward of one hundred taels of gold, and if you make a great contribution, you can also have additional rewards. ”

"A hundred taels of gold? You're really generous! Brother Yan, the money for our brothers to drink flower wine in the future will be covered by you! ”

After Huang Fu Nan heard this treatment, he directly patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said generously, Xiao Yan nodded, and then motioned Huang Fu Nan to be quiet and continue to listen.

"Huangfu Nan, Tuoshe, you two can only be treated as the outer disciples I recruited from the outside for the time being, but when you are promoted to the upper immortal, you can automatically turn into an inner disciple, you don't have to worry about this, although you are an outer disciple, but there is also a gold reward of one or two per month, this is a specific reward and punishment, you have time to take a closer look, don't know anything at that time." Brother Xiao said and took out a scroll and handed it to Xiao Yan, then continued.

"From now on, you are all disciples of my Xiao family, since you have joined my Xiao family, you are a member of my Xiao family, you have to follow the rules of the Xiao family, your style of acting will represent the entire Xiao family, you can no longer be willful and reckless as before, if something really happens, I can't protect you!"

Brother Xiao's last words were actually said to Huang Fu Nan, although Huang Fu Nan was very "peaceful" during this time, he could still see the restless and restless heart in Huang Fu Nan's heart, in order to prevent them from causing any trouble, it was better for him to give a few instructions.

No, as soon as he finished talking here, Huang Funan over there began to play treasure again.

"Brother Xiao, what do you mean to be willful and reckless like before? When did I get wayward before? When did you act in vain? It's a bit hurtful for you to say that! How can a well-behaved baby like me be willful? ”

After hearing this, Brother Xiao pinched Huang Fu Nan's nose, pointed at Huang Fu Nan and said dotingly: "I'm talking about you!" You give me a good look, do you hear? ”

"Got it, I'll be obedient, congratulations to Brother Xiao!"

Looking at such a docile Huangfu Nan, Brother Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and left a sentence before leaving.

"If there is anything, go to Nanshan to find me, here, I can still talk to something! Oh, by the way, be careful! ”

Brother Xiao glanced at the empty courtyard before leaving, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and after he left, Xiao Yan and the three of them walked into the courtyard together.

The display in this courtyard is simple, clean and neat, even the ground looks spotless, except for a few rooms next to it, there is only a small pool in the courtyard, the rest is nothing, but it gives people a simple and generous feeling, the water in the pool is crystal clear, there are many unknown silver-white small fish in it, the small fish swim in the pool, and can't help but give people a feeling of relaxation and happiness.

Coming to the front of these rooms, Xiao Yan bowed first, "Senior, hello, junior Xiao Yan, this is my friends Huangfu Nan and Tuoshe, the three of us sincerely came to learn from you, I wonder if you can accept us as an apprentice?" ”

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, there was still silence around him, he didn't agree, he didn't refuse, Xiao Yan asked three times in a row, but no one answered.

"He shouldn't be at home, you don't have to ask." Huang Funan said impatiently, and then retreated to the edge of the pool to see the small fish inside.

Xiao Yan and Tuoshe finally asked again, but no one answered, the two looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

After the two of them walked around the courtyard, years of experience told them that this courtyard was definitely not simple, at least not as simple as it seemed, and the two of them quickly turned back to back, vigilantly observing everything around them.

Seeing the two of them like this, Huangfu Nan also looked around the courtyard, but did not find anything wrong, he pointed to Xiao Yan and Tuoshe and said: "You two, you are just nervous, you don't feel right to see anything, you see, how happy the fish in this pool are, how can there be a problem, I think the real problem is the two of you!" ”

As he spoke, Huang Fu Nan looked into the pool again, looking at the small fish in the pool, Huang Fu Nan muttered, "What kind of fish is this?" We haven't seen them before, so why don't we get two of them? ”

Xiao Yan doesn't have the leisure and elegance of Huangfu Nan, "Hurry up and be calm, Brother Xiao just said about you, and you will start again!" Don't you think there's something wrong here? In such a large yard, there are no flowers, no tables and chairs, and only a pool, don't you think this design is a bit problematic? ”

"Questions? I don't think so? I just think this fish should be delicious! Huang Funan felt that he was still more interested in eating.

Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and at this time, Tuoshe, who was also nervous on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Did you hear anything just now?"

"Voice?"

After that, the three of them all fell silent at this moment, and even Huangfu Nan, who had been hanging on his son, became serious, pricking up his ears and quietly listening to all the movements around him.

Grunt!

Suddenly, a sound similar to a bubble came out, and the three of them subconsciously turned their heads to look into the pool where the sound came from, but all they could see was a pool of calm water, and the rest was nothing.

"Alas! Fuss! What did I think it was? It's just that the fish spits out a bubble and it scares me to death! ”

Huang Fu Nan was relaxed, but Tuoshe still felt that something was strange, because the voice he heard before was not that, his eyes were always looking around, and he didn't let go of a clue.

And Xiao Yan's attention was still focused on this small pool, to be exact, the small silver fish in the pool.

"This fish...... Why is it so familiar? ”

Xiao Yan looked at it while searching hard in his mind for all the information about the silver fish, and suddenly, he saw the teeth of the silver fish exposed, and he remembered what kind of fish these were, and just wanted to remind him, he saw that the water in this pool was rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Not good! Hurry back! ”
