Although the people from the four great families had barged in, their faces were filled with intent, no one spoke first.
They all stared at the clean dishes on the dining table. They even wanted to snatch the rest of the soup at the bottom of the pot.
No one dared to act recklessly. Not only was the other party powerful, but most importantly, doing so would only incur losses. If the young man threw everything away again, it would be very bad.
Therefore, it was best to remain silent and let someone of status handle the matter.
When they were outside just now, many people were chatting nonstop. They have all kinds of complaints and reprimands. Even Yi Fentian and Bai Han were no exception.
Especially Yi Fentian, he had many opinions about Ye Jiushang as if he wanted to encourage everyone to face him together.
However, after entering the house, he became mute. Even though he was glaring at Ye Jiushang, that was all. He waited for the others to speak first.
Ye Jiushang had long felt Yi Fentian's hatred and killing intent towards him. However, he did not mind. He did not treat others as opponents at all.
At first, he thought that Yi Fentian was someone quite important. After all, to repay his kindness, he hid his identity as the Young Master of the Yi family and stayed in the Little Duke's Residence in Nanling Kingdom for several years. Even though he had paid the wrong person, his feelings were commendable.
But then, not long ago, when the astral wind struck, Yi Fentian completely ignored Xin'er's safety and ran off alone ... Forget about her not taking such a person seriously, even Xin'er would feel disgusted.
No one cared how angry Yi Fentian was. They only cared about getting food from Xue Fanxin and the others.
No one spoke, and everyone looked at Xue Hanxi, waiting for her. Helpless, he could only step up and say with embarrassment.
“Ninth Master, and everyone, I'm sure you all know why we're here. Food was scarce, and some people would starve to death. We have no choice but to come and seek your help. Please ..."
Before Xue Hanxi could finish, the middle-aged man standing beside her suddenly said,
"Young Master, why waste their breath on them? Xue Fanxin was from the Xue family. If he does not take food, we will handle it according to the rules of the Xue.” family
“Who said I'm from the Xue family?” Xue Fanxin liked Xue Hanxi's polite demeanor.
He even felt sorry for the man dying of hunger. Unexpectedly, a very unreasonable person appeared and angered him.
How foolish.
Gu Jinyuan also spoke unhappily, “Third Master Xue, Xin'er is the granddaughter of Xue Tianlian, who was expelled from the Xue family forty years ago. He then changed his name to Xue Batian. From then on, he had nothing to do with the Xue family. If not for the Old Master of the Xue family dying from illness, Xue Batian would not have brought Xin'er back to the Xue family at all. Logically speaking, Xin'er is indeed not part of your Xue family, so please understand the situation before you speak.”
“Young Master Gu, this is our Xue family business. As an outsider, you should not interfere.”
“Xin'er is not only my friend, but he is also my savior. I will definitely interfere in his affairs. We don't know how long we'll be stuck here. Everyone knows how valuable food is. If we share food with you, what will we eat?”
"You ..." Third Master Xue was impulsive, wanting to hit Gu Jinyuan after arguing a bit.
The other Xue family members also began to scold Gu Jinyuan. Everything is ready to fight physically.
Gu Jinyuan was bullied by the four great families here. His heart was filled with hatred towards them, so his attitude towards them was also unfriendly.
He changed from his gentle and refined style of doing things and arguing with Third Master Xue. Even if they were to fight, he did not mind.
He was really fed up with the cowardice of the four great families.
Xue Fanxin saw that the situation was out of control and shouted, "All of you, shut up."
Everyone shut up, including Third Master Xue.
“You can get food if you want, but you have to take something instead. There is no free lunch in this world.”
The moment Xue Fanxin said that, there was another commotion.
Xue Fanxin looked at Third Master Xue coldly and sneered, “At that moment, when Gu Jinyuan first came here, what were you all doing? Did you take advantage of this situation and want to see him die?”
"You…"
Xue Fanxin's reply was on target. Not only Third Master Xue but everyone present was speechless.
They remembered how they had taken advantage of Gu Jinyuan when she had just arrived. They have squeezed out some good things from him.
Gu Jinyuan also became angry as she recalled those unpleasant memories. When Xue Fanxin did the same to them, she felt very good, but she did not quite agree with him. After all, the food here was too precious.
Just as Gu Jinyuan was about to advise Xue Fanxin, she suddenly said, "Zhuri, clear the table and move it to the courtyard outside."
"Yes." Yeah." Zhuri did as she was told. Fuyun helped clean the table, and they both did their job, ignoring the others.
Xue Fanxin picked up the chopsticks and pointed at the door, saying domineeringly, “Exit. All of you should stay in the courtyard and take what you want to trade. Let me say this first: I don't want ordinary stuff. If you can't move me, don't even think of getting food.”
"You—" Third Master Xue wanted to spar with Xue Fanxin, but he did not give her a chance to speak.
“What are you? If you keep saying nonsense, then you can forget about getting food.”
Xue Hanxi pulled Third Master Xue back. Then, he persuaded everyone to come out first.
“Let's wait outside and prepare what you want to trade.”
His intentions were clear, he had agreed to Xue Fanxin's request.
But there seems to be no other choice. After all, Xue Fanxin had an extremely strong young man and an unfathomable Ninth Empire Uncle beside her. Most importantly, he had food.
Here, whoever has food is the boss.
With Xue Hanxi gone, the people in the room also walked out the door one after another and waited in the courtyard. Even though they had all sorts of complaints, they were still thinking about what to exchange for food.
Only Xue Fanxin and the others were left in the room. Ye Jiushang sat there gracefully as if it had nothing to do with him. He let Xue Fanxin do whatever she wanted.
Gu Jinyuan still did not approve of Xue Fanxin taking out food. Since there were no outsiders present, he said frankly, “Xin'er, the food here is a valuable resource. You shouldn't use it like this.”
“If I don't take food, do you think they'll keep quiet? Besides, I can't see them starving to death. Not a single one,” Xue Fanxin said as she took out the rice and dried meat from her bag.
"You're too good." Gu Jinyuan let out a helpless sigh.
“Pfft ..” Xue Fanxin smile.
“This has nothing to do with kindness. If we were outside, I wouldn't care about them. Have you forgotten the requirements on the stone tablet? It takes 50 people to activate the challenge game. May I ask how many people are here now?”
“There are 39 people. With the five of you, the number increases to 44.”
“Then we still lack six people! What if one or two of them starve to death? When one entered again, there would only be one or two fewer people. Isn't that terrible?”
Gu Jinyuan realized.
If someone from the four great clans really starved to death, this would be extremely detrimental to them.
If they could not gather fifty people, they would be stuck here forever.
Therefore, they had to take food and distribute it to the four big families to make sure no one died.
