138: Don't become a disciple, it's not easy to start!

"Xiaotian, I know I was wrong, Xiaotian, I truly know I was wrong!"

Across from Xinye Manor, inside the inn where Li Xiaotian was temporarily staying!

Li Han looked at Li Xiaotian with tearful eyes, her face full of fear!

And Li Xiaotian's raised hand ultimately did not dare to land on Li Han's face!

Although Li Xiaotian was raging with anger at this moment, the thought of Ye An and Xu Chuang's threats still prevented him from striking.

After all, if he were to deliver that slap, he had no idea how his father would deal with him afterwards!

"Young Master, let it go, Young Master!"

"The madam was, after all, well-intentioned!"

The innkeeper hurried to persuade him.

Li Xiaotian snorted coldly, put his hand down, and said,

"Well-intentioned? I'm doing something big at Ye Family Pass; does she need to watch over me?"

"She doesn't understand anything!"

"From now on, she is not allowed to leave this room!"

"Did you hear me!"

"Yes, yes!"

The innkeeper quickly agreed.

Li Xiaotian immediately turned and left.

The innkeeper looked at Li Han, his face also full of helplessness.

Li Han, however, did not speak, merely wiped the tears from her face in silence, and turned to enter the room.

It seemed she was long accustomed to these things, and at this moment, she was even thinking of not wanting to trouble the steward!

The steward sighed and locked the room door from the outside.

Inside the room, Li Han walked to the only window.

She quietly looked at the back door of Xinye Manor directly opposite the window, her heart a mix of emotions.

Outside the window, Ye An, Xu Chuang, and Xu Yin quickly turned and entered Xinye Manor!

And seeing Xu Yin happily holding Xu Chuang's arm,

Li Han's tears finally couldn't be held back and streamed down her cheeks again... Inside Xinye Manor.

When Xu Yin learned that Ye An was actually the expert her father spoke of, she was completely stunned.

The next moment, she knelt directly before Ye An.

"Miss Xu Yin, you mustn't do this!"

"What are you doing!"

Ye An quickly stepped forward and helped Xu Yin up.

Xu Chuang, standing nearby, also quickly said,

"Although Young Master Ye is an expert, you don't need to kneel!"

"And this matter must be kept secret, understand!"

"You've seen that Young Master Ye is at odds with the Li family right now; if the Li family found out, who knows how they would deal with Young Master Ye!"

Xu Yin nodded quickly upon hearing this.

"Xu Yin will definitely keep it a secret for Young Master Ye!"

"It's just that with this kneel, Xu Yin hopes Young Master Ye can accept Xu Yin as a disciple and teach Xu Yin the art of Alchemy!"

Xu Yin said with a serious expression.

Ye An, however, looked helpless and said,

"The art of Alchemy is a small matter; if you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

"But let's forget about becoming a disciple, okay, we won't become disciples!"

Ye An was truly scared.

Good heavens, ever since he tried to make Ye Xinyan his Master, he still hadn't succeeded in taking her down.

He finally met a younger sister; if he couldn't take her down because of becoming a disciple again, how wronged would he be?

Xu Yin, however, asked in confusion,

"If Young Master is willing to teach me Alchemy, then he is naturally Xu Yin's Master; why not become a disciple?"

Facing Xu Yin's persistent questioning, Ye An casually said,

"It's not good to make a move when you're a Master; listen, we won't become disciples!"

"Hmm?"

Xu Chuang, who was nearby, immediately looked at Ye An upon hearing this.

Ye An then realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly said,

"Uh, what I meant was, it's not good to teach if you're a Master!"

"Don't worry, I'll teach you!"

Xu Yin nodded upon hearing this; no matter what, as long as Ye An was willing to teach her Alchemy, it was fine!

But Xu Chuang was clearly unconvinced, and looking at Ye An's expression, he inwardly exclaimed,

"It's over, my foolish younger sister has been targeted!"

"My father too, how can a father push his own daughter into a pit of fire!"

Xu Yin clearly didn't know what Xu Chuang was thinking, and eagerly asked,

"Then Young Master Ye, when do we start!"

"I can't wait!"

Ye An smiled upon hearing this and said,

"There's no rush for this matter; let's talk about it in a couple of days!"

"Anyway, you're not in a hurry to leave, right!"

Xu Yin nodded quickly upon hearing this.

"To be honest, my father also hopes that I can learn more about Alchemy from Young Master Ye during this visit!"

"So I won't be leaving anytime soon, even if I study for three to five years, it's fine!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Ye An smiled.

Xu Chuang, on the other hand, was already numb from listening.

Three to five years?

Good heavens, if she really studied for three to five years, he didn't know if she could learn Alchemy!

But based on his understanding of Ye An, it was more likely they'd have two or three children by then!

Thinking this, Xu Chuang quickly changed the subject and said,

"Young Master Ye is very busy; you shouldn't always bother Young Master Ye!"

"By the way, let me ask you, when you came from Jianglan City, did you see the Li family's caravan on the way?"

Xu Yin nodded quickly upon hearing this.

"I saw it, and the scale of the caravan the Li family dispatched this time was quite large!"

"I even saw Yan Quan in the convoy!"

"Yan Quan?"

Xu Chuang couldn't help but look at Ye An when he heard this.

Ye An asked,

"What? Is this Yan Quan very famous?"

Xu Chuang frowned and said,

"This Yan Quan is the Li family's second strongest expert, his strength is second only to Li Dao!"

"It is said he has the strength of the sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm!"

"Sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm? Doesn't seem that strong!"

Ye An said, Liu Bairan's strength had now recovered to the Nascent Soul Realm.

With the help of the beast blood stone this time, she might even be able to improve further.

The sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm indeed wasn't enough to contend with her.

But then again, compared to Ye An, this strength was still quite formidable!

However, there was nothing he could do, as Ye An didn't have many merit points at the moment, so his strength hadn't had much chance to improve recently.

Xu Yin asked,

"Brother, Young Master Ye, you both seem very interested in the Li family's caravan!"

"Actually, besides Yan Quan, I also heard Sister Li say that the Li family also sent five Golden Core Realm experts along with Yan Quan this time!"

"The lineup can be said to be very luxurious!"

Xu Chuang couldn't help but look at Ye An when he heard this.

Ye An also frowned, realizing that this time the Li family's caravan dispatch was quite different from usual!

Xu Chuang said,

"You've just arrived at Ye Family Pass and don't know the situation!"

"Actually, the one who has been robbing the Li family's caravans recently is Young Master Ye!"

"Li Xiaotian wants to introduce Grade 3 Medicinal Pills into Ye Family Pass to seize the Ye family's market here!"

"Young Master Ye had no choice but to confront the Li family!"

"Ah?"

Xu Yin was startled upon hearing this and quickly asked,

"Then what should we do now?"

Ye An waved his hand and said,

"Don't worry about this matter; just don't tell anyone about it!"

"That includes Li Han; she is, after all, Li Xiaotian's wife!"

Xu Yin nodded quickly.

Meanwhile, Xu Chuang suddenly thought of something and quickly said,

"No, that's not right!"

"Boss, something's not right about this!"

"Just now we only saw Li Xiaotian, but we didn't see his three Golden Core Realm followers!"

"They must have left Ye Family Pass!"

Ye An frowned upon hearing this and asked,

"Is there a problem with that?"

Xu Chuang quickly said,

"Of course there's a problem!"

"The Li family has a Formation called the Nine Stars Linked Formation!"

"It requires nine experts to activate it together, and I heard my younger sister say!"

"Yan Quan also brought five Golden Core Realm experts, plus the three who returned from Ye Family Pass!"

"And Yan Quan himself, that makes exactly nine people!"

"If these nine people carry the Nine Stars Linked Formation, their combat power can definitely rival a Nascent Soul Realm expert!"

"Then this caravan might not be easy to deal with!"

Ye An also fell silent upon hearing this, but soon he spoke.

"It seems this time, the Li family's transport of Medicinal Pills is just a pretense!"

"Their true purpose is probably to test our strength!"

"Then what should we do?"

Xu Chuang quickly asked.

Ye An smiled upon hearing this and said,

"Since they want to test us, it means they are already preparing to make a move!"

"This test is nothing more than preparation for their next move!"

"Since that's the case, then let's play a game with them!"

Xu Chuang was stunned upon hearing this and quickly said,

"Play a game?"

"How do we play?"
