132: Advise Xu Yin to act first and report later! Who do you think you are?
As Ye An and his group swiftly departed Jianglan City, the city itself became even more bustling.
The night the Li Family caravan was ambushed, the Li Family immediately received news.
They even dispatched a large number of people overnight to search near Jianglan City!
Unfortunately, Ye An and his group had already left, so the result was naturally self-evident.
The Li Family found nothing.
The next morning, bright and early.
Xu Xiao, the head of the Xu Family, stood in a pavilion within the Xu Mansion, watching the busy Li Family members moving back and forth in the city.
The butler beside him said, "It's been a night, and the Li Family still hasn't quieted down!"
"They are truly annoying!"
Xu Xiao smiled upon hearing this. "Near Jianglan City, their caravan was robbed. Old Li would be a fool not to be anxious!"
"But speaking of which, this new force that has emerged recently is really interesting. They've actually gone against the Li Family!"
"This is good; it will just curb the Li Family's arrogance!"
The butler reminded him, "But Master, this group is incredibly audacious, and at first, they mainly operated near Ye Family Pass!"
"Young Master has gone to Ye Family Pass this time. Will he be in danger?"
Xu Xiao heard this and said, "Don't worry, those who can refine Fifth-Grade Pills are not ordinary people!"
"Even if their own strength is lacking, they won't be without powerful individuals by their side. This time is Xu Chuang's Opportunity, and we cannot hold him back!"
"By the way, has Young Miss arrived?"
The butler looked towards the entrance of the pavilion and indeed saw a well-dressed woman walking quickly.
Sure enough, a moment later, Xu Yin arrived at the pavilion.
"Father, you were looking for me?"
Looking at Xu Yin, Xu Xiao quickly said, "Your brother followed an expert to Ye Family Pass yesterday!"
"This expert can refine Fifth-Grade Pills!"
"Do you want to go?"
"Fifth-Grade Pills? There's such a powerful person at Ye Family Pass?"
"Brother is too outrageous; he knows such a person and doesn't introduce him to me!"
"Daddy, I want to go to Ye Family Pass too!"
Xu Yin said quickly.
Xu Xiao immediately smiled upon hearing this.
"Alright, alright!"
"I knew you'd be interested!"
"Father has already arranged a carriage and accompanying guards. You will depart today!"
"Whether our Xu Family can refine Fifth-Grade Pills in the future depends entirely on you!"
Xu Yin quickly said, "Daddy, don't worry, I will humbly learn from that expert and strive to refine Fourth Grade Pills, or even Fifth-Grade Pills, as soon as possible!"
"Mhm, mhm! Go quickly!"
Xu Xiao beckoned.
Xu Yin didn't waste any words and immediately went downstairs.
Watching Xu Yin's retreating figure, Xu Xiao stroked his beard and smiled.
"You brat, if you don't help your sister, then I'll just send your sister over directly!"
"With my daughter's beauty, she will surely win over that expert!"
"Once my Xu Family has a son-in-law who can refine Fifth-Grade Pills, I'd like to see if Old Li still dares to act arrogant with me!"
"Then I'll see how I mock him!"
...Xu Xiao naturally didn't tell Xu Chuang about Xu Yin's matter.
After all, if he really told that brat, he would definitely try to refuse.
So Xu Xiao had made up his mind this time to act first and report later.
I've already sent her over; I don't believe you can send her back to me!
...Xu Yin left the city that morning.
And Ye An and his group finally approached Ye Family Pass as evening drew near.
However, before they could enter the city, Li Xiaotian received news and directly intercepted them outside Ye Family Pass.
Seeing Li Xiaotian with three Golden Core Realm experts, Xu Chuang spoke, "Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this Young Li?"
"Do you have something to discuss?"
Li Xiaotian was also surprised to see Xu Chuang and Ye An together.
But he quickly guessed what was going on and said, "What? The Grade-4 Alchemist that my Li Family looked down upon, Young Master Xu, you've taken a liking to him?"
"There are tons of Grade-4 Alchemists like him in White Province City. Young Master Xu, you're quite tasteless!"
Xu Chuang was stunned upon hearing this, then immediately reacted, thinking, "He really is an idiot. It seems the Li Family still doesn't know that Boss can refine Fifth-Grade Pills!"
"Then I definitely can't say anything. What if the Li Family also comes to win him over!"
Thinking this, Xu Chuang smiled and said, "What? Which law states that if your Li Family looks down on an Alchemist, our Xu Family cannot take a liking to him?"
"Besides, looking down on Young Master Ye means your Li Family is blind!"
"Is Young Master Ye's ability something an idiot like you can see through?"
Li Xiaotian immediately became furious upon hearing this.
"Xu Chuang, do you know who you're talking to?"
"Do you still want Fifth-Grade Pills?"
"Is this not the time when you gave me beast blood stones and begged me to do things for you?"
Because the Xu Family was not skilled in Alchemy, no matter how arrogant Xu Chuang was in Jianglan City in the past, he never dared to do anything to Li Xiaotian!
So, seeing Xu Chuang's attitude being so strong now made Li Xiaotian very displeased!
However, with his current backing, Xu Chuang wouldn't put Li Xiaotian in his eyes.
Xu Chuang sneered, "So what if I don't want them anymore?"
"Li Xiaotian, I gave you Face before, didn't I?"
"Do you really think that only your Li Family in the entire Great Yan Dynasty can refine Medicinal Pills?"
"I'm telling you right now, if I ever ask your Li Family for Medicinal Pills again, I'll take your Li Family's surname!"
Li Xiaotian was so angry he couldn't speak, opening his mouth several times without uttering a single word!
Xu Chuang sneered at his reaction, "Do you have any more nonsense to spout? If not, get lost and don't block my Dao!"
Li Xiaotian, fuming, quickly looked at Brother Feng beside him.
Brother Feng stepped forward two steps and said, "Young Master Xu, I don't care if you need the Li Family's Medicinal Pills!"
"We are not here for you!"
"We are here for Young Master Ye!"
"If you have nothing to do, can you please stand aside?"
Xu Chuang was about to speak, but Ye An smiled.
"Looking for me?"
"What is it?"
Brother Feng said, "Our Li Family caravan was ambushed again last night!"
"Ye An, you were right near Jianglan City last night, weren't you!"
"Is this matter related to you?"
Ye An smiled upon hearing this. "There were many people in Jianglan City last night. Why do you only come to ask me?"
Brother Feng said indifferently, "Don't mind that. Just tell us if it's related or not!"
"No!"
Ye An said calmly.
Brother Feng, however, smiled. "A good 'no'!"
"Then do you dare to make a blood oath to prove your innocence?"
This time, before Ye An could speak, Xu Chuang on the side interjected.
"Why should Young Master Ye make a blood oath?"
"Do you have evidence to prove that Young Master Ye did it?"
Brother Feng said, "No, but aren't we investigating?"
"Since Young Master Ye didn't do it, what's the harm in making a blood oath?"
Xu Chuang smiled. "Then according to you, since Young Master Ye didn't do it, why should he make this blood oath?"
"Does your Li Family have such a big Face? Does everyone have to give you Face?"
"I'll tell you right now, I was with Young Master Ye last night, and I can prove he didn't do it!"
Brother Feng said, "Then, Young Master Xu, why don't you make a blood oath? That would also work!"
Xu Chuang smiled upon hearing this. "Me make a blood oath?"
"What kind of thing are you, to be worthy of me making a blood oath?"
"You!"
Brother Feng's Face immediately darkened upon hearing this.
Xu Chuang, however, smiled. "What? Unconvinced?"
"Want to fight? Come on!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I just had a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, and I'm itching for a fight!"
"If you're not afraid of death, come!"
Brother Feng was so angry he was about to speak when his companion quickly stopped him and whispered, "He is, after all, the Young Master of the Xu Family!"
"At this critical juncture, the culprit hasn't been found, and if we offend the Xu Family again..."
"It's not worth it if the Master blames us!"
Brother Feng also thought it made sense, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since Young Master Xu said it wasn't Young Master Ye!"
"Then let's assume it wasn't!"
Saying this, Brother Feng made a 'please' gesture.
"Young Master Ye, please!"
Ye An smiled at this. Having a good subordinate was truly effective.
He hadn't even said much, and the matter was resolved.
However, he also knew that the Li Family couldn't truly believe it.
But Ye An didn't care; the Li Family had no evidence anyway.
At most, the Li Family would be desperate and send people to assassinate him.
But the question was, was he afraid of assassination?
