Whether they are upper-class people or those at the bottom, human nature is universal.
A group of wealthy individuals, getting carried away with their drinking, seed a bit less reserved than usual. They were all excited at the prospect of so entertainnt.
Qi Yan had also drunk a bit, but her mind remained clear. The crowd was rowdy, yet she didn’t get carried away.
Regarding Gao Xuan, Qi Yan was actually very impressed. It wasn’t because of Gao Xuan’s extraordinary appetite, but rather his constant composure and confidence regardless of the situation.
In his very essence, there was an indescribable noble deanor. Despite his humble origins and working under her, standing before Gao Xuan, Qi Yan felt no psychological advantage.
During the month Gao Xuan stayed at her place, apart from eating als on ti every day, he stayed in his room and didn’t go anywhere or contact anyone.
Even being with such a beautiful girl like Qi Fei daily, Gao Xuan never actively struck up a conversation with her.
Gao Xuan’s only hobby was eating. Besides that, he was exceptionally disciplined.
Qi Yan had encountered all sorts of people, but soone as unique as Gao Xuan was a first. With a woman’s intuition, she felt that Gao Xuan was no ordinary person and thought highly of him in her mind.
The crowd’s desire to see Gao Xuan perform eating in public inherently had so insulting implications.
Gao Xuan worked as a bodyguard, earning bodyguard-driver money at her ho. There was no reason to have him perform eating for their amusent.
If it were soone else, Qi Yan wouldn’t overthink it. After all, it was just a subordinate, providing so amusent for others seed harmless.
But Qi Yan didn’t want to disrespect Gao Xuan like that. However, everyone present was a distinguished guest, either her friend, a business partner, or a dignitary from Golden City. It wasn’t convenient for her to voice these thoughts directly.
She smiled at everyone and said, "I don’t know if he’s around; I’ll go check."
The banquet was an outdoor barbecue held on a lawn, so Qi Yan went into the room and had soone call Gao Xuan over.
When Gao Xuan arrived, he was neatly dressed; the key point was that his clothes were clean, and there were no sweat marks or stains on his white shirt. Even at this late hour, his eyes were bright and spirited.
Faced with Gao Xuan’s sharp and bright gaze, Qi Yan felt a little uneasy. She avoided Gao Xuan’s eyes and said softly, "There’s sothing, people heard you have an unusual ability and want to see it. Are you willing?"
Before Gao Xuan could respond, Qi Yan hurriedly added, "If you’re not willing, forget it. I’m just asking your opinion. After all..."
She didn’t finish her sentence, but the aning was clear; after all, boasting about one’s eating ability isn’t very dignified. Performing it publicly is even more undignified.
Gao Xuan was a bit surprised that this woman also understood how to respect subordinates. It’s not easy. He thought for a mont and said, "It’s no big deal; I’m happy to eat when invited."
Eating was about accumulating energy; Gao Xuan had been eating voraciously for a month, continuously strengthening his body. By this point, his body had far exceeded the limits of an ordinary human.
But with the Blood-Born God Technique and cooperation with the Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training, Gao Xuan’s body still had great potential to be tapped into.
He wouldn’t miss the opportunity to indulge himself in eating and drinking. As for people finding him amusing, it didn’t matter to him.
In his eyes, this crowd was rely a bunch of ignorant monkeys. They knew nothing about the cosmos or life, and not even themselves.
Gao Xuan was not arrogant or conceited, but the disparity in wisdom and insight between them was just too vast.
Like Qi Yan, who was seen by others as rich, powerful, and beautiful. In Gao Xuan’s eyes, she was just ordinary. The only comndable thing was that she at least had so vision, recognizing that he was no ordinary person.
Qi Yan was pleased to hear Gao Xuan’s agreent, as this way she didn’t offend Gao Xuan and still pleased her friends.
She said, "I’ll give you ten thousand bucks as an extra allowance."
Gao Xuan didn’t say anything. Getting money wasn’t bad either. While earning it this way felt a bit off, it was still earned by skill, and he wouldn’t mind whatever amount given.
When Qi Yan brought Gao Xuan back to the center of the banquet, it attracted everyone’s attention.
The surrounding lights were bright, allowing everyone to clearly see Gao Xuan’s appearance. Many people were a bit surprised; Gao Xuan’s tough, gallant appearance was entirely different from the big, fat glutton they imagined.
So people even thought he might not actually be the legendary glutton. Perhaps he was Qi Yan’s little lover.
The main reason was that Gao Xuan had a majestic presence that made him appear even more like the host than Qi Yan when walking beside her.
The crowd clicked their tongues in wonder, wondering if he was a scion of so great aristocrat or a high official from the Capital.
Qi Yan ca to Qian Jiayu and said to this good friend of hers, "This is my bodyguard, Gao Xuan. He’s skilled and calm. Because of his martial arts training, he eats a lot."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood; indeed, this was the legendary glutton.
Qian Jiayu looked at Gao Xuan with shining eyes. This young man wasn’t especially handso, but he exuded a vigorous and heroic aura, along with a particularly clean and noble deanor.
Amongst all the finely dressed and exquisite nobles and wealthy folks present, compared to Gao Xuan, they all appeared greasy and vulgar.
"Your bodyguard is really handso," Qian Jiayu whispered with a chuckle into Qi Yan’s ear, "Isn’t he your little lover?"
"That’s not true!"
Qi Yan blushed at the suggestion. She hadn’t thought about it before, but the mont Qian Jiayu ntioned it, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of embarrassnt.
"Why are you blushing? It’s obvious you’re having a sweet affair."
Qian Jiayu laughed proudly and asked Gao Xuan curiously, "Is your appetite really that big?"
Pointing at the roasted whole cow, she said, "Can you eat that whole cow?"
