This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

"Ah, is it daybreak?"

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Yu Xiao slowly got up from the bed. He was relieved to see that the spiritual liquid in the wooden basin beside him did not fade into clear water as he had imagined after a night. It seemed that the spiritual liquid would not evaporate quickly. However, even so, he should practice and digest it quickly.

But Yu Xiao was immediately in trouble again. Although he now had the opportunity to improve his strength, he was still a servant of the Xiao family in name. If he practiced at home every day and did not go to work, the punishment would be secondary. If he was found to have suddenly and unreasonably improved his strength, they might suspect that he had stolen the family's medicinal materials. If he was accused of such a "false" crime, then things would be serious.

"Oh..." Yu Xiao's good mood disappeared in an instant, but she immediately thought of another problem. Mittel had said before that he wanted to auction off the Qi Gathering Powder. Although according to common sense, since the things had been given away, there was no problem in selling it herself, but Yu Xiao thought that she had to report this matter to the man in black anyway.

"Anyway, let's go find that gentleman first." Putting aside the messy thoughts in his head, Yu Xiao pushed open the door and headed towards the market.

Although the market town was very large, Yu Xiao soon found his target - there was a large bag of meat buns in front of Xuwu Tunyan, and he was enjoying a bun.

Although for the Void Devouring Flame transformed from the strange fire, the energy replenished by eating is not even a fraction of that obtained by meditating for a few minutes, some of his old habits still make him maintain them, such as... gluttony.

"Hey, little girl, the medicine I gave you before should be fine, right? Let me tell you in advance, don't tell lies to blackmail me." When Xuwu Tunyan saw Yu Xiao, he didn't care much. Instead, he looked nonchalant, as if the things he had given you before were nothing at all.

"Well, sir, it's like this... that spiritual liquid is indeed very effective, but I didn't dare to use it at first, so I took it to the Mitre Auction House for identification. The people at the Mitre Auction House took a fancy to that Qi Gathering Powder, so they wanted to sell it. Excuse me, sir, I..." Yu Xiao was a little nervous, and even her address changed, and her tone became extremely humble, for fear that the other party would get furious when he heard that she didn't believe in the authenticity of the spiritual liquid. She had also heard that for those powerful people, it was normal to kill someone when they were in a bad mood.

But Yu Xiao was obviously overthinking it. The man in black in front of him was not angry, but laughed: "Isn't it good that you can be so cautious?"

"...Ah?" Yu Xiao was a little slow to react for a moment. This was completely different from what he had expected.

"But then again, I originally intended to let you use that Qi Gathering Powder when you become a Fighter, but now that I've given it to you, you can do whatever you want with it. It's okay if you sell it." Void Swallowing Flame waved his hand nonchalantly, "With Mitel's financial resources, I can at least give you 170,000 or 180,000. With this money, you can live a better life. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Yu Xiao opened his mouth, a little bit unbelieving, but his ears obviously would not deceive him. After confirming that he was not dreaming, Yu Xiao was immediately overjoyed, and then he pleaded: "Sir, I know this is a bit too much, but there is one more favor I would like to ask you for."

"Oh? Tell me."

Yu Xiao then recounted the problem he was facing. When Xu Wu Tun Yan heard that Yu Xiao worked for the Xiao family, he was overjoyed. However, he did not jump for joy. Instead, he continued to pretend to be nonchalant: "This is easy. You go sell the Qi Gathering Powder and give them some money. Then I'll go to their house and tell them that I want to take you away. Isn't that enough?"

Seeing the expression on Yu Xiao's face, Xuwu Tunyan added, "It's just a superficial statement. Once you pay them, will they still have the nerve to stop you from leaving? Once you leave, you won't have to think about these things anymore and can practice well. In my opinion, if you practice hard, you will still have a chance to go to Canaan College, right? Then you won't have to live such a miserable life. How great."

"Yes, thank you sir. By the way, what is your name?"

"Well... just call me [Xu Yan]." Xuwu Tunyan's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a pseudonym.

"There is no time to lose. You should take the Qi Gathering Powder and sell it. You will be more confident with money in your hand, right?" Xuwu Tunyan waved his hand, signaling Yu Xiao to go quickly.

"Yes." After hearing this, Yu Xiao hurried home, ready to take the Qi Gathering Powder to the Miter Auction House, while Xuwu Tunyan continued to pick up the bun and started to chew it, but soon he put down the bun in his hand because he seemed to have discovered something interesting.

Not far ahead, a group of people were surrounding a person. They seemed to be surrounding a young man in luxurious clothes. The young man looked to be in his early twenties, quite handsome, but slightly pale. The people surrounding him were fawning on him. They were probably his younger brothers or servants. The one surrounded by them was a handsome boy. He looked young, but his dark eyes had a sense of maturity that did not match his age.

"Hehe, you're really easy for us to find. Why did you come here alone today? The little good-for-nothing from the Xiao family?" The leading young man had a malicious look on his face and laughed at him unceremoniously.

"Hehe, Galeo, you really have a lot of free time. You specifically find people to surround me when I come out alone. That's right, a coward like you, how dare you come and cause trouble for me alone?" Although the young man was surrounded and was obviously in a very troublesome situation, he did not look panicked.

“Hahahaha! Xiao Yan, you are quite good at talking. You don’t think you are still the same as before, do you? You are no longer a genius! Today, I am in a good mood. As long as you promise not to get close to Miss Xun’er again and kowtow to me a few times, I can still let you avoid physical pain. Otherwise…”

Before he could finish his words, a stone had hit Galeo's forehead accurately, causing him to scream in pain.

"Come on, beat this guy up for me, just don't kill him!"

Although Galeo was a playboy, he was not completely unreasonable. Although Xiao Yan's talent had plummeted now, he was still the third young master of the Xiao family on the surface. If he was only injured, the Xiao family would not really pursue anything. Even their clan leader Xiao Zhan would at most be sulky. But if he was really beaten to death, it would inevitably cause a conflict between the Galeo and Xiao families.

Those lackeys immediately rushed forward. Their strength was not much different from Galeo, but it was enough to deal with Xiao Yan at this time.

Seeing them rushing towards him, Xiao Yan also prepared to respond - even though he knew that this would at most only save him from one or two punches.

But in the next second, everyone, including Galeo, was knocked to the ground by a black shadow that suddenly appeared.

"Really? A group of guys who are almost fighters actually attacked a child. How shameful."

Void Devouring Flame casually waved his hands. This was a rare opportunity to improve his favorability. For this reason, he was quite grateful to the group of people lying on the ground.

"You are so brave... Do you know who I am?" Galeo got up from the ground and pointed angrily at the man in black in front of him.

"He's just a guy who thinks he's great just because of his fighter strength. What? Do we have to add another [coward] to the mix?" Void Devouring Flame didn't want to indulge him at all. If he wasn't afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, Galeo would have been reduced to ashes by now.
