Chapter 276: Everyone Shut Up

Hence, it was best to stay quiet and let someone with status handle this matter.

When they were outside just now, many people were chattering non-stop. They had all kinds of complaints and reprimands. Even Yi Fentian and Bai Han were no exception. Especially Yi Fentian, he had a lot of opinions about Ye Jiushang as if he wanted to goad everyone to deal with him together.

However, after entering the house, he turned mute. Although he was glaring at Ye Jiushang, it was just that. He waited for the others to speak first.

Ye Jiushang had long sensed Yi Fentian’s hatred and killing intent towards him. However, he did not mind. He did not treat the other man as an opponent at all.

Initially, he thought that Yi Fentian was someone of a bit of importance. After all, in order to repay his favor, he hid his identity as the Yi family’s Young Master and stayed in the small Duke’s Estate of the Nanling Empire for a few years. Although he had repaid the wrong person, his feelings were commendable.

But later, not long ago, when the astral winds attacked, Yi Fentian actually ignored Xin’er’s safety and ran for his life alone… Forget about himself not taking such a person seriously, even Xin’er would feel disdain.

No one cared how furious Yi Fentian was. They only cared about obtaining some food from Xue Fanxin and the others.

No one spoke, and everyone looked at Xue Hanxi, waiting for him. Helpless, he could only step up and say in an embarrassed manner, “Ninth Lord, and everyone, I believe you all know why we’re here. Food is scarce, and some people are about to starve to death. We have no choice but to come and seek your help. Please—”

Before Xue Hanxi could finish, the middle-aged man standing beside him suddenly said, “Young Master, why waste your breath on them? Xue Fanxin is from the Xue family. If she doesn’t take out some food, we’ll deal with her according to the Xue family’s rules.”

“Who said that I was from the Xue family?” Xue Fanxin liked Xue Hanxi’s polite attitude. She even felt compassion toward the men dying of hunger. Unexpectedly, someone very insensible appeared and angered her.

What an idiot.

Gu Jinyuan also spoke up unhappily, “Third Master Xue, Xin’er is Xue Tianlian’s granddaughter, who was expelled from the Xue family forty years ago. He then changed his name to Xue Batian. From then on, he has nothing to do with the Xue family. If it weren’t for the Old Master of the Xue family dying of illness, Xue Batian would not have brought Xin’er back to the Xue family at all. Logically speaking, Xin’er is indeed not a part of your Xue family, so please understand the situation before you speak.”

“Young Master Gu, this is our Xue family’s business. As an outsider, you’d best not interfere.”

“Xin’er is not only my friend, but she is also my savior. I will definitely interfere in her matters. We don’t know how long we will be trapped here. Everyone knows how precious food is. If we share the food with you, what will we eat?”

“You…” Third Master Xue was impulsive, wanting to hit Gu Jinyuan after arguing a little. The other Xue family members also started to scold Gu Jinyuan. Things were ready to get physical.

Gu Jinyuan was bullied by the four great families here. His heart was filled with hatred for them, so his attitude towards them was also unfriendly. He changed from his usual gentle and refined style of doing things and got into an argument with Third Master Xue. Even if they got in a fight, he did not mind.

He had really had enough of the four great families’ cowardice.

Xue Fanxin saw that the situation was getting out of hand and shouted, “All of you, shut up.”

Everyone shut up, including Third Master Xue.

“You can have food if you want, but you must take out something in exchange. There’s no free lunch in this world.”

The moment Xue Fanxin said that, there was another commotion.
