This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

At night, in the back mountain of the Xiao family mansion, a stunningly beautiful girl was standing next to a big tree, in front of her was an old man in a black robe.

"Miss, may I ask what instructions you have?" The old man in black robe half-knelt in front of the girl and asked respectfully.

"Today, Brother Xiao Yan was surrounded by people from the Jialie family." Xiao Xun'er said calmly.

"Miss, are you going to go down and take care of them?" For Ling Ying, taking care of a family that doesn't even have a Dou Ling is just a matter of minutes.

"No, I want you to check whether the person named Xu Yan has any dealings with them, and his background, etc."

"Yes." The old man clasped his fists.

"If you find any hidden dangers that are detrimental to Brother Xiao Yan, you know what to do, right?"

"I understand." Ling Ying was also somewhat helpless. With her young lady's perfect qualifications in all aspects, why would she keep staring at Xiao Yan? But after all, she was just a guard, so these were not things she should consider.

With the sound of wind, Ling Ying turned into a dark shadow and disappeared. Xun'er stayed where she was and murmured to herself: "I hope you are just a person who sees injustice. If you dare to do anything bad to Brother Xiao Yan, then I can only..."

"A-choo!" In a cave in the Monster Mountain Range, Void Swallowing Flame sneezed unexpectedly: "No, could it be that strange fire can also catch a cold? Or is someone talking about me?"

"Forget it, let's not worry about that. The meat of this monster is really strong. It will definitely taste better if sprinkled with chili powder." Rather than the question of whether the strange fire would catch a cold, Void Devouring Flame was more concerned about the barbecue in front of him.

At this time, there were already several corpses of monsters piled up next to him, as well as a pile of bottles and jars. On the burning fire, the meat of the monsters was being roasted by the flames, and from time to time a few drops of fat fell into the flames, making a sizzling sound.

As for whether it is poisonous or not, before entering the Warcraft Mountains, in addition to tinkering with a lot of seasonings, he also bought a picture book that recorded the common types of Warcraft in the Warcraft Mountains. Now, those that can be roasted on the rack are all certified non-toxic species. As for those that are found to be poisonous, based on the principle of not polluting the environment, after taking out the magic cores, Void Devouring Flame directly burned the corpses clean, which can be regarded as a contribution to the environment here.

"Ah, it smells so good." After taking a piece of thigh meat off the grill and enjoying it, Xuwu Tunyan made a satisfied sound.

"I should take the child to the Xiao family tomorrow. Haha, I guess the elders will take the opportunity to make things difficult for me. But for me, that's not a problem." After throwing a piece of monster bone out of the cave, Xuwu Tunyan stretched lazily. When he is full, he will feel sleepy.

Outside the cave, several monsters looked at the pile of bones and black ashes outside, looked at each other, and then ran away without looking back. They were not fools. They could roast and eat monsters more powerful than them as food, or even burn them to ashes. Even if he was asleep now, they could not afford to offend him.

At dawn the next day, Xuwu Tunyan woke up from his sleep, found a small river to wash his face to wake himself up, and then disappeared directly into the Warcraft Mountains.

Somewhere in Wutan City. Yu Xiao was looking around anxiously. According to Senior "Xu Yan", he would take her to the Xiao family today to negotiate and let her live as a free person from now on. When she thought that she would no longer have to live under the eyes of others and have the opportunity to enter Canaan College in the future, Yu Xiao could not hold back her joy. However, she felt a little guilty. If it weren't for Patriarch Xiao Zhan passing by by chance, she would have starved to death.

"What are you thinking about?" Before Xiao could react, Xuwu Tunyan appeared in front of her. As if he had seen through her thoughts, Xuwu Tunyan reminded her again, "Don't worry, I have my own way. And you don't need to feel guilty. You have worked for them for a long time, and you don't owe them anything."

"Yes, thank you, Senior Xu Yan."

"Let's go."

Soon, the two arrived at the door of a magnificent mansion. On the doorplate were written the two big characters "Xiao Family". Through the gate, they could clearly see the busy figures of many family members.

"Stop!" The two burly men standing at the door shouted, "This is the Xiao family's territory, all irrelevant people please leave!"

Of course, Xuwu Tunyan would not get angry about this. He casually took out more than ten gold cards and said calmly: "I have something to ask your clan leader."

The two big men were dumbfounded, and then they became afraid. The man in front of them looked ordinary, wearing black clothes and a hat like a wanderer, but he could easily take out so many gold cards. He must be a big shot. They just put on a bad face to such a big shot. If they angered him, they would be in big trouble.

"Why are you so nervous? Can I go in now?" Seeing their embarrassing look, Xuwu Tunyan couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

"I'm sorry for offending you just now. Well...well, please come in!" Seeing that the person coming was not angry, the guard hurriedly opened the door with humility on his face.

Xuwu Tunyan brought Yu Xiao into the Xiao family's courtyard, and some of the Xiao family members turned their heads and whispered.

"Why is this man in black here?"

"I do not know."

"Look, isn't that our maid next to him?"

"Are you here to look for your relatives?"

"who knows."

Xuwu Tunyan certainly didn't bother to care about their gossip. At this time, an old man who looked quite old appeared in front of him with a group of people. He stared at Yu Xiao closely with an extremely unfriendly look: "Yu Xiao, you are so bold! How dare you bring irrelevant people into the Xiao family without permission! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the clan rules?"

"It has nothing to do with her. I came in on my own to inform your clan leader that there is something important to discuss."

The third elder laughed in anger: "Big deal? Now our top priority is to drive you, the uninvited guest, out! Someone, come!"

“Hmph!” Although Xuwu Tunyan did not intend to use violence directly, in a place where strength is respected, violence can still solve most problems. He just mobilized his strength slightly, and an invisible air wave spread out with himself as the center, sweeping away like a storm, directly pressing the Third Elder and the people behind him to their knees on the spot.

The family members who were not affected were all stunned. Where did this man in black come from? He made the third elder and the people behind him kneel on the ground without even moving his hands? And judging from his appearance, it seemed as easy as breathing.

"Hu... Hu..." The third elder knelt on the ground, cold sweat dripping from his head to the ground, and his heart felt like it was falling into an icy cave. The other party easily crushed him with such pressure, doesn't that mean that he can also easily kill him?

"Originally, I don't like to use violence, but since some people like it, I have to use it reluctantly." Xuwu Tunyan was of course very happy to see this kind of slap in the face, and stared at the third elder and others with a smile on his face.

"Who is it?!" With a powerful voice, Xiao Zhan and two other elders appeared in front of Xuwu Tunyan. When he saw the third elder and others kneeling in front of the man in black, Xiao Zhan was also frightened. The man who could force the third elder into such a situation must be no ordinary person. Seeing this, Xiao Zhan hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord, I don't know what excessive things the third elder has done. I would like to apologize to you..."

Seeing Xiao Zhan coming, Xuwu Tunyan didn't plan to continue suppressing the third elder. He immediately put away his pressure, took off his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "Patriarch Xiao, your words are too serious. I just have something to discuss with you, but this elder wanted to stop me, so I had to teach him a lesson."

When Xiao Zhan saw Xuwu Tunyan's face, he was a little embarrassed: "It turns out to be Mr. Xu. Please forgive me for the Third Elder's matter. I wonder what Mr. Xu came here for this time..."

"It's okay. I'm not angry. Let's go in and talk slowly."

In the Xiao family's meeting room, in addition to Xiao Zhan and several elders, many family members were also present. But unlike the others, Xiao Xun'er was standing in the corner, quietly reading a book.

Xuwu Tunyan sat in the VIP seat nearby, sipping the tea in his hand with a leisurely and contented look. Of course, he also noticed the corner, which seemed remote but could include the entire conference room in his field of vision. It was obvious that the other party was wary of him.

"Mr. Xu, you said you had something to discuss. What is it?"

"Haha, nothing." Xuwu Tunyan finished his tea and pointed at Yu Xiao who was standing beside him. "I've taken a fancy to this girl, so I came to discuss with Chief Xiao this time. Can you please make an exception and hand her over to me?"

When the family members heard this, they all looked at Yu Xiao with gloating expressions. In their opinion, he was just an ordinary servant in business.

But Xuwu Tunyan immediately added: "Don't worry, Chief Xiao, I don't want to take her in as a slave. I think she is a person with great potential, so I plan to take her away. And I also learned before that it was you, Chief Xiao, who took her in. Therefore, of course I will not treat you unfairly." After saying that, Xuwu Tunyan gently popped out a golden card from his sleeve.

"There are 100,000 gold coins in this card. I wonder if Chief Xiao would agree to let me take her away?"

Not only the elders, but also the family members couldn't believe their ears. In their opinion, Yu Xiao was just a servant who was picked up, but the man in black in front of them actually raised his hand and took out a huge sum of 100,000 gold coins for a servant? !

Xuwu Tunyan pretended not to notice their shocked expressions and said as if he didn't know anything. "Could it be that Chief Xiao thinks it's too little?" Then he ejected two gold cards from his sleeves and said, "Then I'll add another two hundred thousand."

"This..." Xiao Zhan was a little at a loss. Three hundred thousand gold coins, let alone buying a maid, would probably be more than enough to buy dozens of guards. But when those gold cards were placed in front of him, the shining golden light made him a little dazzled.

The three elders next to him were like ants on a hot pan. They tried their best to wink at Xiao Zhan and almost shouted at him. The eyes of those family members who looked at Yu Xiao changed from gloating to confusion, doubt, and...jealousy.

"Add another two hundred thousand, no more." Xuwu Tunyan held back his laughter and took out two more gold cards. "If Patriarch Xiao is worried that they are fake, you can take the cards to check first. It won't be too late to agree after confirming that they are correct."

"Patriarch, don't worry, Mr. Xu treats me very well." Yu Xiao saw Xiao Zhan's embarrassment and quickly tried to persuade him. Seeing the elders' embarrassment, Yu Xiao couldn't help laughing.

"This... Since Xiaoxiao has said so, Xiao naturally has nothing to say."

"Haha, no problem." Xuwu Tunyan walked forward and handed five gold cards directly to Xiao Zhan.

"But there is one thing I still don't quite understand. Why did Mr. Xu take a fancy to Xiaoxiao?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I prefer to walk around aimlessly. I've been here for a while, so I opened a small stall in the city to pass the time. Many people here actually recognize me, but they don't come to take care of my business. She is the first person to take the initiative to greet me and give me food. I think in this era where everyone wraps their hearts so tightly, people who can show kindness like this should be treated well. It's that simple."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was a little bit amused. He had thought of a lot of possibilities, but the result was so simple. The three elders were dumbfounded. They also heard that someone opened a stall in the city that claimed to improve strength. They thought he was a charlatan. Who would have thought that this "charlatan" was so rich and willful. Those family members were even more upset. Not only did they know about it, but they also passed by the stall from time to time. If they had known it was so simple, they should have been more kind when they passed by. Maybe they could have gotten some benefits!

Xiao Xun'er, who was in the corner, put down the book and looked at Xuwu Tunyan with an extra layer of vigilance in her eyes.
