94: I'm an orphan! The Xu family, the richest family in Jiaoxueshi

Hearing Ye An's words, the two guards were visibly stunned.

It was clearly the first time they had encountered such a robbery.

Others rob for goods, but this guy not only robs for goods, but also robs people?

In fact, Ye An also couldn't understand why, in many novel plots, after a robbery, the people weren't also captured.

If you say ordinary people aren't needed, then so be it.

But this is a world of cultivation, and those guards are also Cultivators; wouldn't taking in one more person strengthen one's own power?

Seeing the two of them staring with wide eyes and not speaking, Ye An urged them on.

"Hurry up and choose!"

"Starting with you!"

Ye An looked at the middle-aged man and said.

The middle-aged man looked troubled.

"Senior, please forgive me, my Family is still in Jianglan City, and everyone knows the Li Family!"

"If I pledge allegiance to you, my Family might..."

Ye An nodded.

"Understood, you can first make a blood oath, and I will allow you to go back and pick up your Family now!"

"From now on, I will take care of your Family for you!"

Ye An's offer was already very sincere.

After all, apart from them, the Li Family's caravan consisted of ordinary people.

So, the news of the caravan being robbed wouldn't reach anyone for a while; at the earliest, it would reach Li Xiaotian at Ye Family Pass.

If this person genuinely pledged allegiance, returning to Jianglan City overnight to pick up his Family was entirely feasible!

However, upon hearing this, the man looked troubled and said.

"Senior, please forgive me, I cannot do that!"

"I have worked for the Li Family for five years, and I am about to be promoted to squad leader!"

"Pledging allegiance to you now, I'm afraid..."

"Pfft!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Ye An struck again.

The silver long spear directly pierced into the other party's heart without any unnecessary words.

"So much nonsense, if you don't want to pledge allegiance, then don't!"

"Why drag it out so much!"

Ye An cursed, then pulled out his Crimson Feather Spear and looked at the young man in his early twenties!

Only this time, before Ye An could speak.

The young man fell to his knees with a "thump" and said excitedly.

"I pledge allegiance to you, I pledge allegiance to you!"

Ye An smiled with satisfaction at the sight and asked.

"How did you come to a decision so quickly?"

"Aren't you worried about your Family being left unattended?"

The guy quickly replied.

"I am an orphan! I have no Family!"

"And I've long been dissatisfied with the Li Family! They exploit us low-level Cultivators!"

"I've wanted to leave for a long time!"

"Sir, I truly wish to pledge allegiance to you!"

Ye An smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Very good, make a blood oath, then go and check the caravan to see if they have hidden anything!"

"If they do, kill them directly!"

"Yes! Yes!"

The guy quickly made a blood oath, then helped to search for things.

Ye An, on the other hand, checked the two Heavenly Mansion Realm experts he had just killed.

He then found two storage rings on their bodies.

One of them contained only some daily necessities and a small amount of Spirit Stones!

However, the other person's storage ring, belonging to the guard leader, truly contained many good things.

Ye An even found a full ten bottles of High Grade Spirit Liquid.

One must know, when Liu Bairan captured him, she threatened the Ye Family to produce ten bottles of High Grade Spirit Liquid before she would release him.

He never expected that this one guard would have so much.

Qin Ruyan's side was also finished quickly.

After confirming that everything in the caravan had been plundered.

Ye An then looked at the remaining people in the caravan and said.

"Go back and tell the Li Family!"

"Think carefully about who you have offended all these years!"

After speaking, Ye An waved his hand and called out.

"Let's go!"

Then, the group quickly disappeared into Wulian Mountains.

Ye An also quickly put North Wind, Qin Ruyan, and the others into his storage ring, letting them tally the harvest.

He himself, with the newly recruited brother, hurried towards Ye Family Pass under the cover of night.

On the way, Ye An asked.

"What's your name?"

The guy didn't dare to delay and immediately said.

"Zhao Hou! They all call me Monkey!"

"Monkey? That's a good name, easy to remember!"

Ye An laughed.

"Come, tell me, what is the relationship between your leader and the Li Family?"

"Why does his storage ring have so many good things?"

"Also, what is this?"

As he spoke, Ye An took out the High Grade Spirit Liquid and a blood-red stone.

Monkey quickly explained.

"The leader is an old acquaintance of the Li Family!"

"None of us who work for the Li Family have more seniority than him!"

"I don't know what these High Grade Spirit Liquids are for!"

"But I speculate, they should be for Young Master Li!"

"Young Master Li has been staying at Ye Family Pass recently, so this caravan, besides escorting the Grade-3 Spirit Pills Young Master Li requested!"

"Also brought a large amount of daily necessities and Cultivation resources prepared for Young Master Li!"

"That Spirit Liquid should be for Young Master Li's daily Cultivation!"

Ye An couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

Goodness, Li Xiaotian plans to stay at Ye Family Pass permanently!

He won't give up until he ruins the Ye Family!

Thinking, Ye An picked up the blood-red stone and asked.

"What about this thing?"

Monkey saw this and said.

"This thing is a beast blood stone!"

"It's also for Young Master Li's Cultivation!"

"beast blood stone? What's it for?"

Ye An asked, puzzled, as this was the first time he had heard this name.

Monkey quickly explained.

"A beast blood stone is a stone that has been infiltrated by Yao Beast blood!"

"However, this kind of stone is not common, because the blood of ordinary Yao Beasts simply cannot infiltrate stone!"

"Only the blood of very powerful Yao Beasts can infiltrate stone!"

"And generally, beast blood stones are only infiltrated on the surface!"

"Like this one, which is entirely blood-red, it must have been infiltrated for at least thirty years or more!"

"When Cultivating, absorbing a wisp of Yao Beast blood from this stone can accelerate Cultivation speed!"

"Some Yao Beast blood can even improve physical strength!"

Ye An's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"It has this effect too?"

Thinking, he wanted to try it, but Monkey quickly said.

"Boss, this beast blood stone cannot be used indiscriminately!"

"Although Yao Beast blood can increase strength, and some can even enhance Physique!"

"But after all, it is the essence blood of a Yao Beast; absorbing too much can affect one's mind, for example, making one irritable, bloodthirsty, and so on!"

"This beast blood stone was given to Young Master Li by Young Master Xu as a bargaining chip!"

"It contains jiao blood, and one can probably only absorb one drop per month!"

"This kind of thing is actually a favorite of Yao Beasts, because as fellow Yao Beasts, the effect is best when they absorb it; ordinary Cultivators rarely use this kind of thing!"

Ye An found this strange and asked.

"You just said this is jiao blood?"

"This jiao should be considered a very powerful Yao Beast, right?"

"Its blood is also very precious, so why would Young Master Xu give it to Li Xiaotian?"

"Also, who is this Young Master Xu?"

"Where did he get this thing?"

Monkey looked a bit confused and said.

"Boss, you don't know Young Master Xu of Jianglan City?"

"Do I need to know him? Is he very famous?"

Ye An said, bewildered.

Monkey sighed and said.

"Then you really need to understand this person!"

"Let me tell you from the beginning!"

Then Monkey eloquently explained the entire layout of Jianglan City.

It turned out that Jianglan City had three major Families: the Jiang Family, which was the City Lord's lineage.

Jiang Yu was the Young Miss of the Jiang Family!

Then there was the Li Family, which did Medicinal Pill business, the Family to which Li Xiaotian belonged!

The last one was the Xu Family!

Although the Li Family did Medicinal Pill business, they could only produce Fourth Grade Pills at most!

And the true richest person in Jianglan City was not the Li Family, which did Medicinal Pill business.

But the Xu Family!

According to Monkey.

The Xu Family mainly ran businesses like restaurants, brothels, inns, and so on.

And besides these, over ninety percent of the shops in Jianglan City basically belonged to the Xu Family!

It could be said that the Xu Family was both doing business and collecting rent!

So, throughout Jianglan City, the wealthiest was actually the Xu Family!

And Young Master Xu was the Eldest Young Master of the Xu Family.

That jiao bloodstone was actually given to Li Xiaotian by him!
