When Xue Fanxin heard that voice, she was confused and asked in a daze, “Gu Jinyuan, didn't you say that the wind outside is very strong? Why are there still people jumping around?”
He had witnessed the power of the wind. Even Ah Jiu's hand was injured, let alone the others. If they stayed outside, they would definitely die completely.
However, the people outside were not dead but were instead chatting. What the hell is going on?
Gu Jinyuan was also confused at first. After listening carefully, he went to the window to look through the gap. Only then did he realize that the wind had stopped.
"Well, why did the wind stop so fast this time?"
Normally, it would take at least a day, but this time the wind completely stopped in just half a day. That's a little abnormal.
"Did the wind stop?"
The people who smelled the fragrance ran out of their stone rooms and went to look for the source of the fragrance.
Standing outside the stone room of Gu Jinyuan, they realized that it was actually a roast meat. Everyone understands less.
Some of the people who had just come here would have already eaten, which was why Gu Jinyuan's place smelled so good.
This damned Gu Jinyuan. He didn't actually call them when he had food. How hateful.
The people trapped here have never eaten a full meal. They could only eat a little every one or two days, barely easing their hunger.
However, it is impossible to eat until full, let alone eat well. Although there was a lake here with fish, catching it was an extremely difficult task.
Many people are unable to catch fish even after a few days.
One could imagine how a group of people who barely depended on a thread would react when they smelled the scent of rice and meat.
More and more people gathered outside Gu Jinyuan's stone house. Some of them did not know what was going on and just came to watch the show.
Unexpectedly, as they approached, they smelled the scent of rice and meat salivating, making them lose their composure.
They started talking non-stop. Some men even put away the wooden planks outside Gu Jinyuan's stone house and barged into their courtyard.
As more and more people gathered at home, everyone became bolder. They had long since forgotten the young man who had expelled the two Spirit Transformation experts.
They only knew that there was food on this page. Maybe they could eat something after coming in…
One cannot doubt what crazy actions a group of hungry people might take.
To get food, they can do evil deeds without batting an eye.
Before Xue Fanxin and the others could react, they heard the door being pushed open. Then, a group of people stormed in.
Looking at the table full of food, they were all dumbfounded. Some people even lost their senses and rushed towards the dining table, wanting to snatch food on it. Unfortunately…
"All of you, get lost." Little Lei had waited a very long time for this meal.
Just when he would finally enjoy it, he did not expect someone who was insane to snatch it from him.
Those who dare to snatch their delicacies must not be forgiven.
"Well…"
Those who rushed forward were sent flying before they could touch the table. Even those who were left behind were expelled by Little Lei.
In just a few blinks of an eye, all the unrelated people in the room had been cleaned up.
The crowd outside is getting bigger. Even people of status had come, including Yi Fentian, Bai Han, and the others.
Xue Hanxi was also here, as well as the middle-aged man who advised her not to give the stone room to Xue Fanxin.
Right now, the middle-aged man had many opinions.
“Young Master, after all, Xue Fanxin is a member of the Xue family. He actually only cares about himself when he has food and doesn't care about us at all. He's totally overrated.”
Hearing these words, Xue Hanxi felt annoyed. He said sadly, “You didn't give him the stone house. Is that not excessive either?”
"Young Master…"
Everyone present felt bad. Thinking back to when the strong wind had just come, they did not care about Xue Fanxin and the others at all, not even giving them a reminder.
Now, blaming others for not sharing food seems absurd.
Yi Fentian's mood was complicated. He realized that he had done something wrong.
How could he do that?
He's wrong again.
...🌺🌺🌺...
The people outside were trembling. No matter how much they craved for food in it, they stood in place and did not dare to act rashly.
Some people even placed their hopes on Yi Fentian, Bai Han, and others. There was also Xue Hanxi.
After all, he was from the same clan as Xue Fanxin. If he put in a word or two, his mind might change.
“Young Master Xue, why don't you talk to Xue Fanxin and let her share some food with us? After all, everyone is hungry, and some will starve to death.”
“Da Niu has not eaten for three days and only drinks leftover soup. I don't know what happened recently, but the fish in the lake are getting harder to catch. They must be getting smarter. If this continues, we will soon starve to death.”
Thinking of their gloomy future, everyone felt uneasy.
While the people outside were discussing, the people inside were eating deliciously. Forget Gu Jinyuan and Ah Wei, who had been hungry for a long time, even Ye Jiushang ate more than usual.
A certain master was very picky. He rarely ate, but this time he ate quite a lot, devouring a large bowl of rice, as well as all kinds of meat and vegetables.
Little Lei ate the most. Before, he looked down on the radish and knew that Xue Fanxin had cut, but now, no matter how much, it was not enough for him. Especially after learning how to eat hotpot, he felt the vegetables were delicious.
“The last piece of radish is mine. No one can take it from me.”
Seeing that there was only one radish left in the pot, he immediately declared it as his own, extending his chopsticks to retrieve it. But someone is faster.
Ye Jiushang's chopsticks were like lightning. No one saw how he moved his chopsticks. They only saw him gracefully eating the radish he had just taken from the pot.
His unhurried behavior made it hard to imagine that he also liked to snatch food.
"Mr ..." Little Lei wanted to cry but not cry.
He watched Ye Jiushang eat his radish and did not dare to say a word.
"Don't you say that you're only going to eat those three roasted rabbits?" Ye Jiushang said casually.
Little Lei was speechless. He could only look dejectedly at his master who was eating delicious food.
If he knew the hotpot was so good, how could he say those words?
Everyone eats until they are full. They were now in the mood to admire the depressed and cute appearance of Little Lei. The more they looked, the more interesting they found it.
At this time, others 'invaded'.
Although it was not considered barging in and was more like walking in, he came uninvited. Moreover, the other party had not even knocked on the door.
There were some people coming this time. Soon, the medium-sized room was filled. They were almost all famous people from the four great families.
There were old and young people, including the two old men who had been kicked into the lake by Little Lei before.
The two old men did not dare to be arrogant, yet their gazes remained unfriendly. Once they had the chance, they would definitely torture their enemies to death.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Jinyuan asked in annoyance.
His hatred towards the four great clans had reached an extreme, especially that Yi Fentian.
Ever since he found out that Yi Fentian was Yi Tian, he had hated this fellow so much.
Back when he was in Nanling Empire, he had once investigated Xue Fanxin, so he knew how Yi Tian treated him.
He was also aware of the disgusting and shameless transaction that Yi Tian and Li Yaoyao had made.
No matter what, Xin'er had once saved Yi Tian. Yi Tian now knew the truth, but when the strong wind came, he actually did not care at all and ran to save his life alone. He never thought of giving up that stone house.
Such a selfish person was not worthy of Xin'er.
Although Yi Fentian had realized that his previous actions were very wrong, when he saw Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang sitting together intimately, his heart was filled with anger.
He did not think about what was right or wrong anymore and only thought about how to reclaim Xue Fanxin.
He did not believe that with his status as the Young Master of the Yi family, he could not compare to the Ninth Imperial Uncle.
