88: Is the opening of a new shop targeting the Ye family? Is it an olive branch to poach someone?

Listening to Ye Mier’s words, Ye An felt helpless.

He had to admit, this girl really knew how to have fun!

However, at this critical juncture, he clearly couldn't let her do as she pleased.

Otherwise, it would be him who would be embarrassed later.

Fortunately, Miss Qin and Old Qin quickly settled the total bill.

Miss Qin handed over a storage ring and said,

“Excluding the two weapons Young Master sold, the other miscellaneous items total fifty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Adding the ten thousand difference for the weapons, this storage ring contains a total of sixty thousand Spirit Stones!”

Ye An took the storage ring upon hearing this and smiled, saying,

“Thank you, Miss Qin!”

Miss Qin smiled and said,

“Young Master is too polite. If there’s nothing else, this humble one will take her leave first!”

Miss Qin was about to leave as she spoke.

Seeing this, Ye An quickly asked,

“May I know Miss Qin’s name?”

“If we meet again in the future, I can’t keep calling you Miss Qin, can I?”

Miss Qin smiled and said,

“This humble one is Qin Ruxue!”

“Qin Ruxue?”

Ye An was stunned when he heard the name.

Why did this name sound so familiar?

Qin Ruxue? Qin Ruxue?

This name was only one character different from Qin Ruyan!

“Ah!”

As Ye An thought about it, he wanted to ask Qin Ruxue if she knew Qin Ruyan.

However, when he looked up, he realized that Qin Ruxue had already left.

“What’s wrong, Master?”

Seeing Ye An deep in thought, Ye Mier asked from the side.

Ye An shook his head and said,

“Nothing, let’s go!”

With that, the two left the auction house.

But the name Qin Ruxue made Ye An feel stranger the more he thought about it.

Running back to find Qin Ruxue to ask for clarification was clearly unnecessary.

So Ye An separated a wisp of Divine Sense and entered the storage ring to ask Qin Ruyan.

When Ye An asked Qin Ruyan if she knew Qin Ruxue, Qin Ruyan’s eyes clearly flickered, but she said,

“I don’t know her!”

Qin Ruyan’s demeanor clearly showed she was lying!

But Ye An didn’t want to expose her; after all, who didn’t have a few secrets in their heart?

So Ye An asked,

“I heard you say before that you followed Black Demon Fiend when you were in White Province City!”

“Then are you also from White Province City?”

“Are you related to the Qin Family of White Province City?”

Qin Ruyan shook her head and said,

“No relation, my husband is overthinking it!”

“If there’s nothing else, Ruyan will go back to rest first!”

Qin Ruyan finished speaking and left.

Ye An looked at her and sighed helplessly.

This was called nothing?

If this was nothing, he’d be a ghost.

However, since Qin Ruyan didn’t want to talk, Ye An didn’t press further.

Who didn’t have an unspeakable past in their heart?

Ye An didn’t take this matter too seriously.

After all, he didn’t want to rely on Qin Ruyan’s connections for anything.

His current life was quite good!

... The two returned to the shop.

Ye An went upstairs to get busy.

Ye Mier, on the other hand, was busy with business on the first floor.

Now with sixty thousand Spirit Stones in hand, Ye An had his initial capital.

When they reached Jiang Province City, he could also purchase some Grade-5 auxiliary profession-related items.

In addition, he also had to seize the time to engrave some Formations for Qin Ruyan and the others in the storage ring.

They were inside the storage ring, where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was not comparable to the outside, so he had to help them condense a few Spirit Gathering Formations.

This would also ensure that they could Cultivate normally inside the storage ring.

The other thing was Medicinal Pills.

Ye An was only one person, so it was impossible for him to refine enough Medicinal Pills for two thousand people by himself.

Moreover, most of what these people currently needed were Grade-3 Medicinal Pills and below.

Therefore, Ye An also decided to exchange his refined Fourth Grade Pills or some of the Spirit Stones he had.

He would exchange for enough Grade-3 Medicinal Pills for the people in the storage ring to consume to improve their strength.

These people were all his followers; the stronger their strength, the better it would be for him.

As for Ye An’s own strength, improving it with these Medicinal Pills was too slow.

So his only hope was merit points!

In one afternoon, Ye An also engraved three Spirit Gathering Formations and handed them to North Wind in the storage ring, asking him to arrange them inside the storage ring!

Then, in the shop, he exchanged Fourth Grade Pills for a batch of Grade-3 Medicinal Pills, which he had North Wind distribute to quickly improve everyone’s strength.

After doing all this, Ye An was finally ready to go home.

After all, it was getting late.

However, just as he walked out of the shop,

he suddenly heard the sound of “crackling” firecrackers from across the street.

Turning his head, he saw that, good heavens, a new sign had been hung up across the street at some point.

The sign surprisingly read, Li’s Shop!

And at this moment, an extremely familiar person was standing at the entrance of the shop!

Who else could it be but Li Xiaotian!

“Why is it him?”

Ye Mier also came out of the shop when she heard the commotion, and she was surprised when she saw Li Xiaotian.

The maid at the side said,

“No wonder I saw Young Master Li wandering around here this morning!”

“So he was planning to open a shop across the street!”

“But his place is directly opposite our Ye Family’s shop. Is he trying to steal our business?”

Ye Mier frowned and said,

“Remove the ‘is he trying to,’ he *is* trying to steal our business!”

“Look at the price list they posted!”

Ye An and the maid looked at the price list posted at the opponent’s entrance.

The prices on it were surprisingly one Spirit Stone cheaper for every item compared to the Ye Family’s shop.

This attracted many people to stop and watch!

Even those who were originally buying things inside the shop ran out.

Li Xiaotian stood across the street, looked at Ye An and the two women, and couldn’t help but laugh,

“Isn’t this Young Master Ye, who can refine Fourth Grade Pills?”

“How about it? Our new shop is opening, are you interested in coming to our Li Family to help?”

“Whatever benefits their Ye Family gives you, our Li Family will give you double!”

Ye Mier, angered, stepped forward and said,

“You’re dreaming! Ye An is our Ye Family’s Husband who lives with wifes family!”

“Your Li Family can’t poach him!”

Li Xiaotian laughed upon hearing this and said,

“There’s only a price that’s not high enough, but no one who can’t be poached!”

“Besides, is it possible that only your Ye Family has young ladies?”

“If Brother Ye wants to be a Husband who lives with wifes family, you can choose any young lady from my Li Family!”

Ye An smiled upon hearing this and said,

“Brother Li certainly knows how to joke!”

Li Xiaotian, however, said with a serious expression,

“I’m not joking with Brother Ye!”

“Although we had some unpleasantness a few days ago, honestly, I only resent Madam Qin of the Ye Family!”

“As for Brother Ye, I absolutely admire him!”

“A talent like Brother Ye is exactly what our Li Family needs!”

“Let alone being a Husband who lives with wifes family, if Brother Ye wants to establish his own family, my Li Family will absolutely support him and can even marry a young lady to him!”

“How about it? Brother Ye, consider it?”

Just as Ye An was about to speak, Ye Mier, who was beside him, stepped forward and shouted at Li Xiaotian,

“You’re dreaming!”

“My Master doesn’t care for your Li Family’s women!”

“Let’s go, Master! We’re going home to find the family head!”

Ye Mier said, pulling Ye An’s hand and hurrying back towards the Ye Family.

Li Xiaotian, seeing this, was not disheartened and shouted from behind,

“Brother Ye, don’t forget to consider it!”

“I’ll await your reply!”
