Chapter 277: Too Kind
Third Master Xue was originally quiet, but Xue Fanxin’s words triggered him. “Xue Fanxin, what do you mean? Are you taking advantage of the situation and want to watch us die?”
Xue Fanxin looked at Third Master Xue coldly and mocked, “Back then, when Gu Jinyuan first came here, what did you all do? Were you taking advantage of the situation and wanted to watch him die?”
“You…”
Xue Fanxin’s retort hit the mark. Not only Third Master Xue but everyone present was speechless.
They remembered how they had taken advantage of Gu Jinyuan when he had just arrived. They had extorted quite a few good things from him.
Gu Jinyuan also got furious upon recalling the unpleasant memories. When Xue Fanxin did the same to them, he felt very good, but he did not quite agree with her. After all, the food here was really too precious.
Just as Gu Jinyuan was about to advise Xue Fanxin, she suddenly said, “Zhuri, clean that table and move it to the courtyard outside.”

“Yes.” Zhuri did as he was told. Fuyun helped clear the table, and the two of them just did their thing, ignoring everything else.
Xue Fanxin picked up the chopsticks and pointed at the door, saying domineeringly, “Get out. All of you are to stay in the courtyard and take out what you want to trade. Let me say this first: I don’t want ordinary stuff. If you can’t move me, then don’t even think about getting the food.”
“You—” Third Master Xue wanted to argue with Xue Fanxin, but she did not give him a chance to speak. “You what? If you continue spouting nonsense, then you can forget about getting food.”
Xue Hanxi pulled Third Master Xue back. Then, he persuaded everyone to go out first. “Let’s wait outside and prepare what you want to trade.”
His intentions were clear; he agreed to Xue Fanxin’s request.
But it wasn’t as if there was any other choice. After all, Xue Fanxin had an extremely powerful young man and an unfathomable Ninth Imperial Uncle beside her. Most importantly, she had food.
Here, whoever had food was the boss.

With Xue Hanxi’s departure, the people in the room also walked out of the door one after another and waited in the courtyard. Even though they had all kinds of complaints, they still pondered about what to trade for food.
Only Xue Fanxin and the others were left in the room. Ye Jiushang sat there elegantly as if it had nothing to do with him. He allowed Xue Fanxin to do whatever she wanted.
Gu Jinyuan still did not approve of Xue Fanxin taking out the food. Since there were no outsiders present, he said straightforwardly, “Xin’er, the food here is a precious resource. You shouldn’t use it like this.”
“If I don’t take out some food, do you think they will remain quiet? Furthermore, I can’t watch them starve to death. Not a single one,” Xue Fanxin said as she took out some rice and dried meat from her bag.
“You’re too kind.” Gu Jinyuan sighed helplessly.
“Pfft…” Xue Fanxin smiled. “This has nothing to do with kindness. If we were outside, I wouldn’t have cared about them. Have you forgotten the requirements on the stone tablet? It takes 50 people to activate the challenge game. May I ask how many people are here now?”
“There were 39 people. With the five of you, the number has increased to 44.”
“Then we’re still short of six people! What if one or two of them starve to death? When someone breaks in again, there’ll be just one or two fewer people. Wouldn’t that be terrible?”
Gu Jinyuan came to a realization.
If someone from the four great clans really starved to death, this would be extremely disadvantageous to them.
If they could not gather fifty people, they would be trapped here forever.
Therefore, they had to take out food and distribute it to the four major families to ensure that no one died.
