"Thank you very much, Master Jialie." Xuwu Tunyan said with a smile.

After saying that, he didn't hesitate to use words, and the chopsticks in his hand flew up and down. The people with lower strength present could only see the afterimage of the chopsticks in Xuwu Tunyan's hand. Every time this afterimage passed a plate, most of the dishes on the plate would disappear instantly, just like a magic trick.

Seeing Xuwu Tunyan's "hungry" look, Galeb couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Before preparing for this banquet, he was worried that the other party might leave the table directly because he felt that the food was not to his taste. Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

Unlike Galiebi who was secretly happy, Galeo on the side was furious. It was Galiebi who instructed him to lead people to deal with Xiao Yan. The purpose was to cripple Xiao Yan and then lure Xiao Zhan to attack so as to kill Xiao Zhan "with a legitimate reason". But the result was that just because this guy passing by disrupted the situation, not only did he get beaten up, but now he had to watch him feast on the food in front of him. It was so disgusting.

"Come here, Mr. Xu Yan, I'm sorry for offending you before. Consider this glass of wine as my apology to you, Mr. Xu Yan!" Galbi raised his glass, looking very respectful.

"Master Jialie, you are overthinking it. I don't care about this kind of thing anymore. I was just an ordinary passerby at that time. Even other passersby had no respect for me, so how could I be offended?" Xuwu Tunyan said with a smile. He was indeed not angry, but it was not because he was broad-minded, but because he knew that as long as he did not interfere, these people in the Jialie family would die, and he did not have the time to be angry with the dead.

When Jialebi heard this, black lines appeared on his forehead. He could easily knock down a group of elite family members including himself, and capture him from the family mansion to the Xiao family and then release him back in a very short time. If this was called "common", then there was probably no one in Wutan City who was capable of this.

"Haha, Mr. Xu Yan is really humorous." Galeb could only reveal a slightly awkward smile.

Void Devouring Flame did not say anything about Galeb's awkward smile, but instead stared at Galeo with a playful look on his face. Galeo felt a little scared by his stare and had to turn his head away.

"Master Jialie, it seems that Young Master Jialie still has some dissatisfaction with me. In that case, I'd better leave as soon as possible." After Xuwu Tunyan said this, he pretended to leave.

"No, no, no, Mr. Xu Yan, please stay." Galiebi was immediately anxious, and then glared at Galieo with an angry face: "Mr. Xu Yan has come from afar, what's your attitude? Huh?!"

Galeo felt aggrieved. If he hadn't been staring at him with ill intentions, would he have turned his head away? Now he was scolded in person by his father who usually took good care of him, which made Galeo even more angry.

“Hahaha, Patriarch Jialie, there’s no need to get so angry. Young Master Jialie is so young, so it’s normal for him to have such a situation. I don’t care.” Void Swallowing Flame immediately “smoothed things over” and added, “Young Master Jialie has such strength at such a young age. He can be considered a young genius. This is worthy of admiration.”

Galebi's face turned pale and blue, because he really couldn't tell whether Xuwu Tunyan was praising him or mocking him.

"Does Patriarch Jialie think that I'm being sarcastic? You're really thinking too much." Xuwu Tunyan pointed it out casually.

"No...nothing."

"Well, I don't like beating around the bush. Chief Jiale, you specially invited me here and prepared such a grand banquet. I guess you have something to ask of me, right?"

Xuwu Tunyan suddenly felt a little annoyed. He could naturally see what the other party was thinking. They probably mistakenly believed that he was attracted to Yu Xiao because of her beauty, and now wanted to win him over in the same way. But they would never have thought that the reason he helped Yu Xiao was just because of her kindness.

Although being kind doesn't seem to get any rewards in this land, Void Devouring Flame still has some expectations for such people.

"Well, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Xu Yan." Jialebi's smile became more flattering, and then he patted the shoulder of the delicate girl next to him, "This is my daughter Jialeya. No matter whether she is talented or beautiful, she is the best in my Jiale family. She is also of marriageable age. I wonder if Mr. Xu Yan..."

Xuwu Tunyan smiled twice and said, "Master Jialie, are you here to arrange a blind date for me? But Xu has always been free and undisciplined. He often has no fixed place to stay and lives anywhere. Sleeping outdoors is commonplace. Your daughter is living a life of luxury, so I'm afraid she can't bear this hardship."

Galeo almost spit out water. No one would believe that someone who could easily take out hundreds of thousands of gold coins said he had no place to live.

"Besides, I don't like to force people. I think that whether to be with someone or not, you should consider the person's opinion. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as doing business?" Xuwu Tunyan said sarcastically with a hint of meaning in his words.

"Yes, yes! How could I not be willing?" Galbi replied quickly.

Xuwu Tunyan laughed even louder: "Master Jialie, I am asking for my opinion. Do you want to introduce yourself to me?"

Jialebi was instantly embarrassed. If anyone else dared to tease him so casually, he would have slapped that person to death, but facing this "Mr. Xu Yan", he really didn't dare to do it.

Jialebi hastily signaled Jialeya with his eyes, but just as Jialeya was about to speak, Xuwu Tunyan suddenly raised his hand and said, "Master Jiale, I prefer occasions with fewer people. Can you let me talk to your daughter alone?"

"No... no problem, Mr. Xu Yan, please follow me." How could Jialebi dare to say no? He quickly took Xuwu Tunyan to a room, and at the same time, he did not forget to signal Jialeya with his eyes. But how could such an action be hidden from his eyes?

"Mr. Xu Yan, please." Jialebi respectfully invited Xuwu Tunyan in and then closed the door. And Jialeya looked at Xuwu Tunyan with an uneasy look.

Xuwu Tunyan lightly raised his finger, and the dark fighting spirit flowed out from his fingertips and began to spread to the entire room. As the fighting spirit spread, the color began to gradually fade until it became invisible.

"Okay, this place has been isolated by my fighting spirit." Void Swallowing Flame said with satisfaction, "Now, Miss Galea, you can tell me the truth you know."

Galea's expression became even more nervous: "Mr. Xu Yan, I, I don't know what you are talking about."

"There's no need to be so scared. Although I'm not a gentleman, I still have some moral integrity." When Xuwu Tunyan saw Galeya's look, he knew that the other party probably thought he was going to play some kind of escape room game.

"You are probably not Jialebi's biological daughter." Xuwu Tunyan said, "Although Jialebi tried his best to create a "lady" to deceive me, he was too naive. The scars on your hands and your reserved look all exposed this. I have no intention of doing anything to you. I am very disgusted with arranged marriages, and I am not a guy who relies on instinct. You just need to tell the truth."

"...Yes." After hearing this, Galea realized that he had no room for lying.

"I am just the least favored branch of the Jialie family. My parents died in a conflict with the Oba family. Because I am a branch of the family, I did not receive much compensation. Although I am still a member of the Jialie family in name, I am usually treated the same as those servants."

"Just a few days ago, Chief Jiale... no, Jialebi heard that you bought a maid from the Xiao family for a large sum of money. However, most of the direct descendants of the Jiale family are male, so he turned his attention to us, the side branches. He hopes to sell me to you through these means and exchange me for a reasonable price." As if influenced by the words of Void Devouring Flame, Jialeya did not even use the honorific "chief".

"As expected..."

After listening to what Galeya said, Xuwu Tunyan was completely certain of Galebi's purpose, which was almost the same as his own guess.

"Then do you want to come with me?" Void Swallowed Flame asked, "Anyway, I don't need that little money, it's no big deal to use it to get rid of that old bastard. Although I'm not a very good person, I will occasionally be kind. When I take you out of the Jialie family, I will give you some money, and you can find a comfortable place to live a good life."

"I do!" Galeya answered without hesitation. It was not that she was too naive. On the contrary, Galeya knew very well that people of her strength generally did not need to lie to her. She had no sense of belonging to the Gale family for a long time. It would be great if she could take this opportunity to leave.

"Okay, let's go." Xuwu Tunyan removed the blockade of his fighting spirit, pushed the door open, and walked towards the hall.

As soon as he arrived in the hall, Xuwu Tunyan saw Galiebi's flattering smile.

"Mr. Xu Yan, may I ask..."

Xuwu Tunyan simply raised his hand, and five wooden boxes appeared out of thin air from his hand.

"Congratulations, Master Jialie. Your daughter has agreed to go with me. As a thank you gift, here are five Qi Gathering Powders."

Galbi's breathing became heavier, because those were five Qi Gathering Powders!

"But I have a condition." Void Swallowing Flame said with a sly smile, "These five Qi Gathering Powders can only be used for people in your family and cannot be sold in any form."

Jia Liebi looked a little embarrassed: "Mr. Xu Yan, may I ask why you are..."

"Oh, Master Jialie, don't you think about it? If you simply sell it, the money won't benefit all the clan members after being distributed. But if you use it directly, you can definitely add five fighters."

Void Swallowing Flame knew very well that if all five Qi Gathering Powders were sold, it would definitely be a huge sum of money for the Jialie family, which would probably put the Xiao family at a disadvantage in the subsequent business wars. But if they were only used, a mere five fighters would not significantly improve the combat power of the Jialie family.

"This……"

"Does Patriarch Jialie disagree? That's fine. I won't take your daughter away with me. Just pretend I've never been here."

After saying that, Xuwu Tunyan pretended to leave.

"No, no, no! I agree, I agree!" Void Devouring Flame frightened Galiebi so much that he quickly agreed.

"Also, to ensure that no one does anything tricky, I will stay here for a few more days. I will leave after the five Qi Gathering Powders are used up. Does Patriarch Jialie have any objection?"

"No, no, how could there be? I just want to entertain Mr. Xu Yan." Galeb smiled ingratiatingly. He exchanged several excellent meals and a side branch that was usually unwelcome for five Qi Gathering Powders. In any case, he made a profit, but he always had a feeling that he was the one who was wronged in this transaction.
