This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Chapter 40: If the first plan fails, try another one

After living with Yu Xiao for a while, Galea finally accepted this somewhat weird "Mr. Xu Yan".

At first, according to Galea's thought, such a person who had both money and strength must be difficult to get along with. However, unexpectedly, this Mr. Xu Yan was very humble and not only did he not put on airs, he also always said that Galea was too reserved, which surprised Galea.

What surprised Jialeya even more was that Mr. Xu Yan usually didn't give them all kinds of strange medicines, but just gave her a bottle of spiritual liquid and told her to use it if she wanted to, and sell it if she didn't want to. This was completely different from the evil monks who practiced evil and poisonous skills that she had heard of. In order to cultivate the furnace, those guys would almost use people as medicine jars.

Apart from that bottle of spiritual liquid, he never gave any other medicine. Most of the time, he would not even show up. Only when I went out, I would see him wandering around the market like a carefree street urchin.

At this time, Galeya really believed that the other party had no other intentions towards him. According to Yu Xiao, this bottle of spiritual liquid was a spiritual medicine that could assist in the cultivation of fighting spirit. At first, because he was worried, he went to the Miter auction house to verify it. After Master Gu Ni verified it, he also confirmed that there was nothing abnormal about this bottle of spiritual liquid.

After hearing this, Galiya stopped worrying about this and that. She also began to imitate Yu Xiao, practicing with spiritual liquid in water every day. In her spare time, she listened to Yu Xiao singing to the music score left by Void Devouring Flame.

This is the life that Galea has never experienced since he was born. He doesn't need to look at other people's faces or serve others. He can decide what he wants to do every day. Soon, Galea became addicted to this feeling called "freedom".

"Are these songs given to you by Mr. Xu Yan? They feel quite different from the ones we have here." After listening to Yu Xiao singing a song, Galea couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, I heard him say that these songs are from another world."

"Another world?" Galieya was a little confused. "Are there other worlds outside of this Douqi Continent?"

"I asked this question as well. But Mr. Xu Yan said that it's not an interesting place." Yu Xiao was a little depressed. "According to him, there is chaos and suffering there. Different countries will go to war for their own interests. Ordinary people without support will also be looked down upon and suffer."

"Doesn't that mean..." After hearing this, Galiya's face looked a little depressed. Isn't this the same as in the Douqi Continent? Although the Gama Empire is still peaceful at this time, in fact, the relationship between the Gama Empire and its neighbors such as the Izumo Empire and the Luoyan Empire has always been very bad, and conflicts often occur. If the Izumo Empire did not have enough strong people, and the other empires did not have good relations with each other, I am afraid they would have gone to war with the Gama Empire long ago.

In addition, the internal situation of the Gama Empire is not peaceful. As the most powerful and influential sect in the Gama Empire, the Yunlan Sect has had a hidden rebellious heart for a long time. The biggest manifestation is that the founder of the Yunlan Sect once set a rule that it should not interfere in the affairs of the Gama Empire, but in the past ten years, the Yunlan Sect has been allocating its personnel to various places in the Gama Empire, and the royal family is also unwilling to directly tear its face with the Yunlan Sect because of face. Of course, the Yunlan Sect does not dare to do too much. After all, the royal family still has two "guardian gods". With the strength of the Yunlan Sect, it dare not fall out with the royal family, so this delicate situation has been formed where both sides have their own thoughts but do not say it out loud.

However, these are just some hearsay after all. For Galeya and Yu Xiao at the moment, these are too far away. The most important thing for them right now is to reach the eighth level of fighting spirit as soon as possible so that they can enter the school of their dreams - Canaan College in the future.

"Girls, are you having a good chat?" Xuwu Tunyan suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, startling them.

"Mr. Xu Yan, please don't do such scary things, okay..." Yu Xiao patted his chest. In the past, Xuwu Tunyan would always knock on the door, but this was the first time he came "uninvited".

"Oh, sorry, sorry. I came here to tell you a good news." Xuwu Tunyan smiled and took out a blueprint with a luxurious house drawn on it. "It's a bit crowded for two girls to live in such a small place, so I went to Telan City and bought a new house there. How about you take a look? If possible, I'll take you there today."

Let’s talk about two things at the same time, in a secret room of the Xiao family.

"Great Elder, what do you want to do this time?" The second elder stared at the great elder in front of him, his face showing no emotion.

"Do you still remember the hundreds of thousands of gold coins Xu Yan gave Xiao Zhan?"

"Remember it. What? Do you want to encourage us to steal together this time? If you want to go, go by yourself. It's not the first time anyway."

The third elder said something with a hidden meaning. Although he was the third elder in name, the three elders actually had almost the same say. In addition, the previous "theft incident" was live-broadcasted by Xuwu Tunyan. Although Xuwu Tunyan did not break the final window paper and Wu Qilin did not announce the news, anyone could guess who was behind this "failed theft". So the third elder did not want to save face for the first elder at all.

The elder looked embarrassed, but he still tightened his facial muscles and tried his best to make his expression look less awkward: "The family competition will be held in a while, so we have to be prepared."

"What are you planning?" The second elder had a cold look on his face. Anyway, his lineage had basically passed the threshold of the seventh level of fighting spirit, so they didn't have to worry about being exiled to other places because of failing to pass.

"Think about it, although the money is nominally in Yu Xiao's hands, she is close to Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan after all. If that kid Xiao Yan goes to find her, she might..." The Great Elder did not say anything else, but his meaning was already made clear.

"So what? The test stone tablet won't lie." The third elder snorted, but his tone had changed slightly.

"That's right, but what if we don't do anything with the stone tablet?" The Great Elder also knew that this kind of induction would not be effective easily, and immediately launched the next wave of attacks. "There are many drugs that can improve strength in a short period of time, such as Qi-enhancing powder and power-storing pills. These can't be measured even by the test stone tablet."

“Are you kidding me? Even if a fighter takes Qi Boosting Powder, he will need to rest for a few months at least. With Xiao Yan’s condition, his meridians will be ruined.” The corner of the second elder’s mouth twitched unconsciously. The first elder was willing to say anything to win them over.

"Why must it be Qi-enhancing Powder?" The Great Elder still did not give up. "Don't forget, that's hundreds of thousands of gold coins. What if we can buy a better elixir?"

The second elder and the third elder remained silent. Indeed, there were more than just a few kinds of elixirs that could improve strength. If Xiao Zhan really used the money to buy some powerful medicine, then their vision of getting promoted would be ruined.

"Then what should we do?" After a while, the Third Elder squeezed out a few words from his mouth, "You can see that Xu Yan is not a good person to deal with. Our tricks are useless in front of him."

The second elder nodded in agreement. Xuwu Tunyan himself had a strange temper. He had no shortage of money, and beauty seemed to be of no use to him. As for strength, Xuwu Tunyan captured Galebiobapa in an instant and sent him back in one go. With such strength, if they dared to compete with him, they would be courting death.

"We can start with Xiao Zhan." The Great Elder was not in a hurry. "This is why I held this meeting. As long as we unanimously agree not to let Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan go to Yu Xiao to borrow money, it will also cut off their chances!"

"What if Xu Yan pays himself? Our clan rules can't restrain him." The second elder immediately pointed out the problem. Using clan rules to restrict Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan is indeed a feasible solution, but Xuwu Tunyan is not in this category. Will we punish him for "disrespecting clan rules"? That's too funny.

"Of course I have thought about this. Xiao Yang told me today in the market that Xu Yan took a girl away from the Jialie family. He also saw Xu Yan at the auction house in Telan City before. To confirm, he asked the guys at the auction house. He bought a mansion there and said he wanted to enjoy life for a while. In other words, he will definitely not be in Wutan City for some time."

Xiao Yang is a member of the Xiao family who is responsible for running errands in the Xiao family market. Although he is only a side branch, he is closer to Xiao Ning's lineage, so he often plays the role of an "information dealer". Because of this job, he can also get a little more money from the dividends of the market.

The second elder and the third elder also knew Xiao Yang, so if he said that, then it would basically not be false.

"You said he took a girl away from the Jialie family?" The second elder was a little confused. Could that girl be more attractive than Xiao Mei?

"We'll talk about this later." The elder knocked on the table gently. "That is to say, at least during this period of time, the threat posed by Xu Yan to us has been eliminated. As long as we block Xiao Zhan's route here, Xiao Zhan's lineage will be completely defeated in the family competition!"

As he spoke, the Great Elder pushed out two pieces of paper and handed them to the Second Elder and the Third Elder respectively. When the two elders saw the two pieces of paper, their expressions changed at first, and then they nodded to the Great Elder.

The two pieces of paper were about the personnel changes in Xiao's market town. Simply put, with those pieces of paper, the second elder and the third elder could place more of their own people in the market town to share more money. Obviously, this was the sincerity of the first elder, or bribery.
