194: Everyone was surprised to get the mineral vein, and Ye An returned to Ye Mansion to make plans.

Upon hearing their subordinates' words, Qin Ruyan and the others were stunned.

However, this was just the beginning; subsequently, many more subordinates came running over.

They all reported that the Spiritual Vein in their respective mining pits had also disappeared.

Liu Bairan reacted the fastest, immediately spreading out her Mental Energy to investigate.

Indeed, under the shroud of her Mental Energy, she discovered that...

Within the entire Spirit Stone mine, all the Spirit Stones had vanished.

Only complex empty shells, formed after the Spirit Stones disappeared, remained!

This clearly meant someone had moved the entire Spiritual Vein mine away!

"It was you?"

Liu Bairan looked at Ye An in surprise.

"That's right!"

Ye An smiled.

Qin Ruyan and Li Han also reacted at this moment, looking at Ye An in disbelief.

"An ordinary storage ring couldn't possibly move an entire Spiritual Vein!"

"And a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator's strength couldn't do it either!"

"Husband, how did you do it?"

Ye An, however, just smiled and said,

"I'll take you to a place later, and you'll know!"

"For now, call Beishan and Blood Rage over; I have something to tell them!"

"Okay!"

Qin Ruyan quickly agreed, then sent someone to call Beishan and Blood Rage over!

Indeed, when Ye Gu saw the two of them, he noticed...

Beishan's strength had already reached the second layer of the Nascent Soul Realm!

This young man clearly had Cultivation talent, and coupled with his already formidable strength, it was no surprise his cultivation improved so quickly with the help of those resources.

Blood Rage, however, was in a more unique situation.

He was half-human and half-Yao Beast, so his Cultivation talent wasn't high.

But he possessed the strong Physical Body and tough skin of a Yao Beast, so he pursued a path more akin to Body Refining cultivators.

He used all those Cultivation resources to temper his Physical Body.

Although his strength hadn't reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he could still contend with a Nascent Soul Realm expert relying on his powerful Physical Body.

"Boss!"

Seeing Ye An, Beishan and Blood Rage quickly saluted!

Ye An waved his hand and said,

"Your current strength is more than enough to fight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!"

"So, I'm going to give you a mission!"

"Please tell us, Boss!"

Beishan quickly said.

Ye An didn't waste words, looking at the mining pit and saying,

"I want you to bring people to guard this place, then make a flag out of cloth strips!"

"Write 'Specializing in Robbing the Li Family!' on it!"

"Then just guard here and wait for the Li Family to come looking!"

"Huh?"

Beishan and Blood Rage were clearly stunned by this, and even Qin Ruyan and the others nearby were a bit bewildered!

Ye An, however, smiled and said,

"Just do as I say!"

"Don't worry, the Xu Family will likely send people to probe first!"

"However many people come, you detain them. Don't kill them, don't abuse them, just keep them locked up!"

"When the Li Family truly arrives, I will naturally come to help you!"

Beishan and Blood Rage quickly cupped their hands and said,

"Yes!"

Then Ye An looked at Qin Ruyan, who was beside him!

"Leave all our people here, and try to make it look like bandits seizing a mountain!"

"Okay!"

Qin Ruyan quickly nodded.

Only then did Ye An say,

"As for us, we're going home now!"

"We'll come back when needed!"

Qin Ruyan and Liu Bairan nodded.

Meanwhile, Li Han suddenly said,

"Can... can I stay too?"

Ye An was surprised by this.

"Conditions here aren't good; do you really want to stay?"

Li Han nodded and said,

"I want to stay. Since I've chosen to follow you!"

"I must also experience some things!"

Ye An nodded upon hearing this and said,

"Since you've decided, then stay!"

"Beishan, take good care of her!"

Beishan nodded.

"Don't worry, Boss, I'll take good care of sister-in-law!"

Hearing Beishan's words, Li Han's pretty face couldn't help but blush.

However, she didn't refute him, as even if she did, he might not believe her.

Moreover, with so many people, she couldn't explain to each one individually!

Besides, she actually quite enjoyed the title of 'sister-in-law.'

After making these arrangements, Ye An left with Monkey, Qin Ruyan, and Liu Bairan.

Li Han, Beishan, and Blood Rage remained.

Soon, they released all the Xu Family miners!

As for what happened next, that would depend on how Ye An arranged it!

...On the way back, Ye An took Qin Ruyan, Liu Bairan, and Monkey into the Grotto-Heaven World!

And as soon as they arrived, they witnessed a shocking scene.

On the plains within the Grotto-Heaven World...

A bare Spiritual Vein lay across it.

One could even clearly see the entire structure of the Spiritual Vein.

That's right, this was the Spiritual Vein that Ye An had moved in.

The entire thing was directly placed on the plains.

Monkey couldn't help but exclaim,

"Holy moly, this is the Xu Family's Spiritual Vein!"

"Boss, you're too ruthless; you just took the entire Spiritual Vein!"

"Good heavens, you don't even need to dig now. When you need it, just hit it with a hammer and you can take it out to spend!"

Ye An smiled and said,

"Want to spend it?"

Monkey quickly nodded!

Ye An smiled and said,

"Alright, you can spend it!"

"But you need to set up an information network for me!"

"Centered on Ye Family Pass, extending outwards!"

"From now on, you'll be in charge of the information team. Can you do it?"

Monkey immediately became excited upon hearing this.

"With this Spiritual Vein mine, I can definitely do it!"

"Let alone near Ye Family Pass, I can even build one for you in White Province City!"

"And even the imperial..."

"Alright, alright!"

Ye An waved his hand, interrupting Monkey.

"Don't boast about the Imperial City; just get Ye Family Pass and White Province City sorted out for me first!"

Monkey quickly agreed!

"Mission accomplished, guaranteed!"

...Liu Bairan, who was beside them, was clearly not interested in these things. She looked at this expanse of blood-red jiao bloodstone, then at Ye An.

Her meaning was clear: she wanted these jiao bloodstones!

Ye An smiled and said,

"They're all yours; no one will snatch them from you!"

"Oh, right, do you eat Yao Beast meat?"

Ye An asked.

Liu Bairan was surprised and asked in return,

"Why do you ask?"

Ye An said,

"I have a lot of Yao Beast meat, also rich in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. If you eat it, it can also speed up your recovery!"

"But you're also a Yao Beast; if you eat Yao Beast meat, wouldn't that be considered cannibalism?"

"I'm a fox Yao Beast, so just don't give me fox Yao Beast meat, alright!"

Liu Bairan said grumpily.

Ye An scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this.

"Oh, I see. Alright then!"

Ye An did not mention the Flying Star Manor.

After all, that was one of his trump cards.

Although he absolutely trusted Liu Bairan and Qin Ruyan, he still needed to have some secrets, didn't he!

However, despite not mentioning it, the Flying Star Manor was, after all, a top-tier Magical Artifact!

It could naturally transform into other appearances, and he could simply hide the important areas within it.

So, in the future, when they traveled, Qin Ruyan and Liu Bairan could still live inside it.

After visiting the Flying Star Manor, Liu Bairan proactively took a few people to hurry on their way, as this would make their speed faster.

Ye An also noticed that her strength had recovered to the Mahayana Realm.

To be honest, Ye An really wanted to spar with her to see if Manor Elder had lied to him.

With his Nascent Soul Realm fifth-layer strength, relying on the Flying Star Art...

Could he truly contend with a Mahayana Realm master?

But now was definitely not the time.

Qin Ruyan, who was beside him, asked,

"Husband, we've taken the Spiritual Vein, so why are you still having Beishan and the others guard the mining pit?"

"And even if you have them hang a banner that says 'Specializing in Robbing the Li Family!'"

"The Li Family might not take the bait!"

"After all, it's the Xu Family's mining pit, and it's even debatable whether the Li Family would know about this matter!"

Ye An, however, smiled upon hearing this and said,

"That's why I'm taking you home!"

"Isn't Xu Chuang still at home!"

"If the Li Family doesn't know, then just find someone to inform them, wouldn't that be good?"

Qin Ruyan was stunned.

"You want Xu Chuang to inform them?"

"Would the Li Family believe him?"

"Moreover, once this matter is publicized, wouldn't both the Li Family and the Jiang Family know that the Xu Family has a Spiritual Vein?"

Ye An, however, smiled upon hearing this and said,

"Don't worry, your husband naturally has a way to handle it!"

"You just don't need to worry!"

"It'll still take two days to get home!"

"I haven't seen my little Ruyan in a long time; your husband misses you dearly!"

Qin Ruyan's face flushed red as she said,

"Husband, you're annoying in broad daylight!"

Ye An, however, smiled.

"What's wrong with broad daylight!"

"Doesn't broad daylight allow people to sleep?"

Saying that, Ye An pulled Qin Ruyan and disappeared within the Grotto-Heaven World.

Returning to the Flying Star Manor's residence.
