"Okay, Young Master Ben will kill you now!"

Xiao Ao was angry on his head, he could take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he raised his hand to kill the little girl in front of him, but at this time, a white wrist grabbed his raised hand.

"Who? Who dares to stop this young master. ”

"It's me!"

A faint voice sounded in Xiao Ao's ears, Xiao Ao looked back and saw that it was Lao Tan, he was stunned at first, and then scolded: "Who is Nima?" ”

Lao Tan has been watching by the side for a long time, not that Lao Tan wants to be a hero to save beauty, let alone save people out of guilt, but that Lao Tan really can't get used to watching a group of men bully a lonely little girl.

"Young Master Ao, did you forget to be here? Under is Lao Tan! Lao Tan let go of Xiao Ao's hand, clasped his hands into fists and said with a respectful attitude.

Lao Tan's attitude calmed Xiao Ao's anger a little, and after hearing Lao Tan's words clearly, he frowned and said, "Are you Lao Tan?" ”

"Yes." Old Tan smiled.

"You're a liar? Old Tan Ke is a big fat man, where are you like him? Xiao Ao glanced at Lao Tan up and down, and then his face was full of disbelief.

It's hard to blame Xiao Ao for not believing it, after all, when Xiao Ao and Lao Tan were together two days ago, Lao Tan was still a big fat man, but now Lao Tan is a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his painting style is like two people.

Lao Tan also had a headache about this, to blame the cultivation method of the nameless recipe was too special, every time he ate food to obtain aura, he would not digest it directly, and he had to enter the refining before he could truly integrate into his body.

Since Lao Tan does not have a spiritual root, there is no place to store the spiritual energy, and as a result, all the spiritual energy obtained from refining is stored in Lao Tan's fat, and the more spiritual energy is stored, the thicker the fat, and over time, Lao Tan will become a big fat man.

When he first became a monk and stepped into the first layer of qi refining, Lao Tan looked at his round figure and was distressed for a long time, until later when his cultivation was promoted to the second level of qi refining, the fat layer in Lao Tan's body was expanded and qualitatively changed, and his body would return to its original appearance.

When I met Xiao Ao, the aura accumulated in Lao Tan's body had reached the peak of the second layer of qi refining, so he was a fat man at that time, but after refining the aura obtained from Xiao Yi's body the day before yesterday, Lao Tan changed back to what he is now.

In the face of Xiao Ao's questioning, fortunately, Lao Tan had already found a way to prove it to the other party, but I saw Lao Tan leaning into Xiao Ao's ear and whispering, "Young Master Ao, have you forgotten the spiritual vegetable I gave you before?" ”

Xiao Ao's color changed when he heard this, and he also asked in a low voice: "Are you really Lao Tan?" ”

Earlier, in order to have a relationship with Xiao Aola, Lao Tan secretly brought him some spiritual vegetables. Don't look at the spiritual vegetables planted all over the Southern Cemetery, but in fact, the spiritual vegetables grown can only be enjoyed by the people in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family. Xiao Ao, as a child of a separate family living in the outer courtyard, certainly does not have this privilege.

Don't look at Xiao Ao is particularly arrogant in front of Xiao Yi Luluo, in fact, his qualifications are very mediocre, after cultivating for five years, he is still at the level of the first level of qi refining, according to the family rules of the Xiao family, if he cannot break through the first level of qi refining within five years, the family has the right to stop issuing spirit stones to him.

Xiao Ao was in a hurry at that time, and happened to meet Lao Tan who needed to enter the outer courtyard of the Xiao family, so the two hit it off, Xiao Ao applied for an identity nameplate for Lao Tan to enter the outer courtyard, and Lao Tan secretly provided spiritual vegetables to Xiao Ao.

Although the spiritual vegetables contain much less spiritual energy than the spiritual stones, they also have spiritual energy, and Xiao Ao hopes to use this cultivation to strive for a breakthrough in cultivation.

Only by becoming a monk of the second layer of qi refining can he regain the monthly income issued by the family, otherwise he can only stay in the first layer of qi refining for the rest of his life, which is not much better than a mortal.

After recognizing that the handsome young man in front of him was Lao Tan himself, Xiao Ao naturally didn't dare to offend easily, not to mention that he would have to rely on Lao Tan to send spiritual vegetables in the future, just that Lao Tan knew some secrets about him, he didn't dare to be wild in front of Lao Tan.

"It turned out to be you, Lao Tan, rub, what are you doing like this kid, why did you suddenly become like this?"

"I've been losing weight lately."

“……”

Lao Tan's explanation was naturally very ridiculous, but Xiao Ao didn't dare to ask more.

"Young Master Ao, I don't know if you can sell me a favor and let this little girl go." Lao Tan didn't want to waste time, so he pointed directly to the green pothos on the ground and said.

"You want to protect her?" Xiao Ao frowned, obviously a little bit unintelligible about Lao Tan's approach, but he didn't dare to offend Lao Tan, so he readily agreed, "Okay, since it was Lao Tan who said it, then the young master will let her go." ”

"That's very good, thank you Young Master Ao." Lao Tan arched his hand, and also gave Xiao Ao enough face.

Green Pothos was still in a state of shock, of course she heard the conversation between Xiao Ao and Lao Tan, she didn't expect that the other party would let her go, but she didn't expect that Lao Tan was actually the fat man who killed Xiao Yi that day.

She will never forget that day, so when she learned that Lao Tan was the murderer, she said angrily: "Don't think that I will be grateful to you for saving me, you murderer, one day I will avenge the young master." ”

"I'll wait for you." Lao Tan said lightly, and then said to Xiao Ao: "Young Master Ao, please come here, I just have something to discuss with you." ”

Xiao Ao couldn't wait to ask Lao Tan for some spiritual vegetables, so he nodded hurriedly.

Coming to the place where Xiao Ao lives, it is a row of brick houses, it seems that as a child of the Xiao family, Xiao Ao lives in a place that is not much better than Lao Tan, the cook and miscellaneous servant in the Southern Cemetery.

Following Xiao Ao into his house, and seeing the simple layout inside, Lao Tan couldn't help but shake his head secretly, this Xiao Ao is obviously not much better off than others, why do you want to bully Xiao Yi and Luluo, who are weaker than him?

Is this the so-called dark side of human nature?

"Old Tan, sit down." Xiao Ao was very enthusiastic, he didn't notice Lao Tan's expression at all, he poured a cup of tea for Lao Tan, and then asked: "Is there any spiritual vegetable recently, I feel that I have reached a bottleneck, if I can eat more spiritual vegetables, I believe that I will soon break through the second layer of qi refining." ”

Lao Tan took a sip of tea slowly, and said lightly: "Young Master Ao, you should know that the spiritual fields where the spiritual vegetables are planted in the Southern Cemetery are guarded by the three children of the Xiao family, although they are not often on the mountain, but if they steal too many spiritual vegetables at one time, they will be discovered, if they are discovered, what the consequences will be, I think Young Master Ao knows better than below." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ao couldn't help but shudder, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes." ”

Lao Tan knew that Xiao Ao couldn't lose all hope, so he changed his words and said, "But please don't worry, Young Master Ao, I will find a way in terms of spiritual vegetables." ”

Xiao Ao was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, grabbed Lao Tan's hand and said gratefully: "Old Tan, Young Master Ben relies on you, as long as Young Master Ben can break through the second layer of Qi refining, Young Master Ben will repay you well." ”

It stands to reason that with Xiao Ao's character and status, there is no need to befriend Lao Tan as a cook, but Xiao Ao understands that he can change his fate by relying on Lao Tan's spiritual vegetables.

Lao Tan understood that the time had come, and said with a smile: "Really? That's great, there's something to ask for in the next place. ”

Xiao Ao subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Old Tan Zhengse said: "I want to be transferred to the outer courtyard of the Xiao family as a handyman." ”
