This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Outside the city of Wutan, next to the three-headed griffins, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran were stroking their fur, and the griffins were also enjoying the feeling.

"It's about time for them to come back, right?" Nalan Yanran held her face with her jade hands, looking at the place not far away and thinking, "Senior Brother Mo shouldn't do anything out of line. With him around, that Hu Bujin shouldn't dare to use violence."

Just when Nalan Yanran was still daydreaming, she saw two figures in white robes out of the corner of her eye - it was Void Devouring Flame and Mo Li who had been planted with the devouring seeds.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, Young Sect Master. It took us a lot of effort to persuade that maid." Xuwu Tunyan said with a smile, scratching his head.

"Yes, now that we have almost finished what needs to be done, let's set off to return to the sect now."

Mo Li said calmly. Although Mo Li's will had been completely controlled by the Void Devouring Flame at this time, in the eyes of Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye, there was nothing unusual.

"Okay, Senior Brother Mo, Young Master, Elder Ge Ye, I wish you a pleasant journey. I will go to the Monster Mountain Range to continue looking for good things. Goodbye!"

Xuwu Tunyan waved his hand symbolically, then turned and left. He was too lazy to continue wasting time with them. Anyway, the arrangements had been made and he had other things to do next.

Listening to the roar of the griffin getting farther and farther away until it completely disappeared from his ears, Void Devouring Flame began to change his shape and returned to the appearance of "Xu Yan".

"Finally, we got rid of these annoying guys. But it's not a loss this time. We have collected such good evidence. Hehe, enjoy your good days in Yunlan Sect. The more domineering you are now, the more miserable you will be in the future."

"Let me think about it... Next, Xiao Yan should go around to get money for the medicinal materials for the spiritual liquid. I don't need to worry about this, or I don't need to interfere. This is a great help to me."

After thinking about the original timeline, Xuwu Tunyan came to a conclusion that satisfied him. At this stage, what he had to do was probably to provide some help with medicinal materials in the early stage. Once Xiao Yan got in touch with Mitel and made money from selling spiritual liquid, he would not have to consider adding icing on the cake.

"Ah, in that case, take a good rest these few days."

Thinking of this, Xuwu Tunyan looked towards the location of the Warcraft Mountains and could enjoy the joy of picnic again.

But what Xuwu Tunyan didn't know was that due to his intervention, some subtle changes were happening. However, he didn't need to know that, and even if he knew it would only cause unnecessary trouble.

In a room somewhere in the Xiao family, a middle-aged man was staring at three old men. There was a hint of anger in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the old men's eyes were equally unfriendly.

"Xiao Zhan! You should know the importance of that money! Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand gold coins! How much can our family earn in a year? This money can be used as the cost of cultivation for the family members, which is also a great contribution to the family. As the patriarch, you should know this, right?!" One of the old men was obviously a little irritable and was about to slam the table.

"Third Elder, are you sure you want to use this money entirely on the younger generation of the entire family?"

Xiao Zhan was neither anxious nor impatient, but he deliberately emphasized the words "the younger generation of the entire family". The implication in his words was very obvious: he was not stupid enough to think that distributing this money would definitely benefit every member of the family.

"Hehe, Xiao Zhan, you also know that good steel should be used on the blade. It is definitely impossible to divide it equally. Wait until this money makes those talented young people stronger. By then, the entire Xiao family will be strong because of it. I believe others will understand." The First Elder was not as straightforward as the Third Elder. Instead, he tried to persuade Xiao Zhan as a whole by hinting at it.

"Then how do you define 'good steel'? If the criteria are wrong, wouldn't it be better to just divide it equally?"

Xiao Zhan retorted. He was not a fool who followed the crowd. To put it bluntly, the Great Elder meant that most of the money should be used on those "young people with potential" - and these "potential stocks" were basically their direct descendants.

The Second Elder wanted to say something, but Xiao Zhan raised his hand to interrupt him: "Second Elder, there is no need to say more. Even if you talk your mouth off to me today, you won't get a penny. Because the money is no longer in my hands."

"!!!" The three elders stood up, and Xiao Zhan's next sentence became a bombshell, "Because I gave the money to Xiaoxiao for safekeeping."

"Bang!" The Third Elder slammed his fist on the table. "Xiao Zhan! Do you know what you are doing?! You gave all that huge sum of money to a lowly maid?! Are you crazy?!"

Of course Xiao Zhan was not crazy. In fact, when Xiao Zhan placed the gold card in the dark room, he had already considered this. And that night, a disciple of the Xiao family tried to enter the dark room and failed to steal, and the possibility he was worried about became a reality.

After being caught, the Xiao family disciple did not even make any excuses. He directly admitted that he did it and accepted the punishment according to the clan rules. This attitude aroused his suspicion, and later he learned that this disciple was one of Xiao Ning's many younger brothers, and Xiao Ning was the grandson of the great elder.

Although no other conditions could be found yet, Xiao Zhan had already guessed the motivation behind this theft.

That's why he dropped this "blockbuster bomb".

"Great Elder, she is no longer a maid of the Xiao family, and I just asked her to keep her for safekeeping. It won't be too late to take her back when we can discuss a distribution plan that satisfies everyone."

Xiao Zhan said slowly.

"Xiao Zhan! Have you never thought about whether she would take the money and run away? And we all know that it was you who took her in, and she is also on good terms with Xiao Yan. As the head of the clan, aren't you a little too selfish?"

How could the Great Elder easily accept such an explanation? In his opinion, Xiao Zhan clearly wanted to keep the money for himself.

"Great Elder, before you blame me, you should think carefully about your inner thoughts. I don't have any money, and you don't have to worry that I will take it all. Until we come up with a plan that everyone can accept, I will not go to Xiaoxiao. Also, I don't want to see the next incident a few days ago."

After saying that, Xiao Zhan left the room without looking back, leaving the three elders there staring at his back, their eyes seemed to have formed a net full of thorns.
