139: Then plan to lure the enemy deep into the city and lie in wait outside the puppet city.

Facing Xu Chuang's question, Ye An smiled.

"The Li Family's probing this time is nothing more than gauging the true depth of our strength!"

"To decide whether to retaliate!"

"Since this grudge has already been formed, there's no room for reconciliation!"

"Then we must find a way to properly deal with them!"

"As the saying goes, strike a snake at its seven-inch mark!"

"Since the Li Family wants to probe, we will feign weakness to lure them in!"

"Then we will severely damage their Origin Qi!"

"I can't say for sure about other things, but at least if it succeeds, the Li Family will completely behave!"

"They definitely won't dare to cause trouble again in a short time!"

Xu Chuang and Xu Yin both gasped.

To be honest, Ye An's response this time wasn't some incredibly brilliant scheme; Xu Yin and Xu Chuang could have thought of it if they thought carefully.

What truly astonished them was the look in Ye An's eyes when he spoke those words.

Cold and ruthless.

If they weren't standing with Ye An at this moment, they would probably be intimidated.

And for the Li Family to provoke such an existence, even they were sweating for the Li Family!

"Boss, just tell me what to do, I'll listen to you!"

Xu Chuang said hurriedly.

Ye An, however, smiled.

"Let's get a good rest tonight, after all, the caravan only arrives tomorrow!"

"We'll talk more tomorrow!"

"Your sister has come a long way and must be tired, go rest first!"

Xu Chuang nodded at his words, then took Xu Yin and left.

Ye An didn't waste any more words and immediately went to the backyard... Meanwhile, in Xu Yin's room.

Xu Chuang had also helped his sister tidy up her room.

But as he tidied, Xu Chuang said helplessly.

"You silly child, Dad told you to come and you actually came!"

Xu Yin said.

"Dad said you met a master who can refine Fifth-Grade Pills, and I also want to study hard to help our Xu Family break free from its dependence on the Li Family!"

Xu Chuang said helplessly.

"You really are, you believe whatever Dad says. If Fifth-Grade Alchemy was really that easy to learn!"

"The Li Family wouldn't still have no Fifth-Grade Alchemist even now!"

"Dad told you to come ostensibly to learn Alchemy, but in reality, he wants you to find him a Fifth-Grade Alchemist son-in-law!"

"Silly child!"

Xu Chuang spoke earnestly, but Xu Yin smiled.

"That's good too!"

"I think Young Master Ye is quite good. He's not old, can refine Fifth-Grade Pills, and most importantly, he's courageous and resourceful!"

"He's just the type of older brother I like!"

Xu Chuang was completely speechless at her words.

"How is he the older brother type? Can you stop being so love-struck!"

"Ye An already has several Dao Companions!"

Xu Yin, however, said.

"Is there a problem with that?"

"It's only normal for a man as excellent as Young Master Ye to have many Dao Companions!"

"After all, the more Dao Companions he has, the more it proves his excellence!"

"Unlike you, big brother, you don't have a single Dao Companion, but you have plenty of those other women!"

"I don't even want to talk about you!"

"You!"

Xu Chuang was so angry he couldn't take it, he shook open the blanket he had just folded and said.

"I don't care about you anymore, you brat!"

"If you really end up with Ye An, you'll be the one crying!"

Xu Yin, however, said indifferently.

"Brother, you're wrong, aren't you? If I really become Young Master Ye's woman, you'll be the one crying!"

"Before, at home, you bullied me every day!"

"When I really marry Young Master Ye!"

"If you dare to bully me again, I'll have my man beat you up!"

"You!"

Xu Chuang was completely stunned!

Good heavens, it seemed that was indeed the case.

If Xu Yin married someone else, it would be fine, but if she married Ye An.

Then it seemed she would indeed be the only one to bully him, after all, he couldn't beat Ye An!

Thinking of this, Xu Chuang was almost in tears.

Ye An naturally didn't know about the conversation between these two siblings; in fact, he was currently diligently accumulating merit points!

...The night passed uneventfully.

The next morning, Ye An, carrying a full 300 merit points, found Xu Chuang and took out his Nascent Soul Realm Puppet!

Seeing the Puppet, Xu Chuang understood Ye An's meaning and quickly asked.

"Boss, aren't you going to call Sister-in-law tonight?"

Xu Chuang's 'Sister-in-law' naturally referred to Liu Bairan.

Ye An said.

"Your sister-in-law is too heavy-handed and not suitable for tonight's operation!"

"When the decisive battle with the Li Family comes, she will have her chance to act!"

"See if you can repair this Puppet, we'll rely on it tonight!"

Xu Chuang was puzzled by his words.

"Boss, since we're going to war with the Li Family sooner or later, why wait for the decisive battle? Why not take the opportunity tonight to call Sister-in-law and directly kill Yan Quan and his group?"

Ye An smiled at his words.

"Do you think I haven't thought of such a method? But this method won't work!"

"Why not?"

Xu Chuang was puzzled, and Ye An smiled.

"If you think carefully, you'll know. Robbing the caravan is an overt matter; besides the Li Family, the Jiang Family is also watching!"

"But the Li Family's future retaliation against us definitely cannot be done openly, as they have no evidence!"

"So the Li Family's retaliation can only be assassination, and assassination is something that cannot see the light of day!"

"When it's in the dark, we can kill however we want, after all, no one will know the truth!"

"But if we rob and kill nine Golden Core Realm experts of the Li Family in one go, especially under the Nine Stars Linked Formation!"

"Think about what the Jiang Family would react to and think if this matter spread?"

Xu Chuang fell silent at his words.

Yes, if this matter spread, the Jiang Family would probably be shocked.

And even wary!

This was not a good thing!

Ye An smiled.

"So, there's a knack to when and how to kill the same people!"

"We certainly have to deal with the Li Family, but we can't make the Jiang Family feel that we are a threat, after all, the Jiang Family currently still has a say in the vicinity of Jianglan City!"

"Don't provoke anyone, but especially not the Jiang Family!"

Xu Chuang couldn't help but give a thumbs up at his words!

"Boss, I'm truly impressed!"

"You're the best!"

"Alright, stop messing around, see if this Puppet can be repaired!"

Ye An brought the topic back.

Xu Chuang smiled.

"This Puppet isn't broken at all, Sister-in-law just took out its crystal, and I have one on me!"

"Just put it back in!"

Saying that, Xu Chuang took out a red crystal and then placed it into the Puppet's chest.

Sure enough, the Puppet instantly stood up.

Ye Gu saw that the Puppet was fine, then asked.

"Can this Puppet handle the Nine Stars Linked Formation?"

Xu Chuang thought for a moment at his words and said.

"This Puppet only has the strength of the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"The opposing leader is Yan Quan, and the power of the Nine Stars Linked Formation should not be underestimated!"

"Based on my experience, both sides should be able to fight to a draw, neither being able to do anything to the other!"

"However, Yan Quan and his group would definitely not dare to act alone, otherwise, without the Nine Stars Linked Formation, they would only be pushed aside!"

Ye An nodded at his words.

"That's enough!"

"You'll come with me tonight!"

Xu Chuang nodded busily.

Then Ye An left to find Qin Ruyan.

After all, tonight was the last time to rob the caravan, so Ye An naturally had to be fully prepared!

The reason it was the last time to rob the caravan.

This was also because the Li Family had already begun to probe their strength, and they would certainly not send any more caravans after this.

If they sent more people, it would probably be for revenge!

...In the evening, as dusk was just falling.

Ye An took Xu Chuang and Qin Ruyan and left the Ye Manor!

The group headed straight out of the city.

And just an hour later, Ye An stopped on a hill outside the city.

Xu Chuang, Qin Ruyan, and a group of subordinates also emerged.

Qin Ruyan looked at the surroundings and said.

"Husband, isn't this too close to Ye Family Pass!"

"If we act, will there be people arranged by the Li Family at Ye Family Pass to provide support!"

Ye An smiled.

"There's no one left at Ye Family Pass!"

"Li Xiaotian left in the afternoon and should be heading to Wulian Mountains to rendezvous with the caravan!"

"We left late, so waiting here should be about right!"

"Later, I will release the Nascent Soul Realm Puppet to contain the enemy's main force!"

"You and Xu Chuang have only one mission: steal things!"

"Once you've stolen the items, we leave immediately, without any further delay, understand?"

Qin Ruyan and Xu Chuang both nodded.

And as the three spoke, sure enough, a mighty caravan appeared on the official road ahead!

From a distance, the three saw Li Xiaotian in theTeam.

At this moment, Li Xiaotian's mouth was almost stretched to the back of his head.

Apparently, he was about to arrive at Ye Family Pass, and this guy still thought he could arrive safely this time!

Seeing this, Ye An stopped talking nonsense, waved his hand and said.

"Hide, prepare to act!"

As his words fell, everyone instantly concealed themselves.

Silently waiting for the caravan to approach!
