97: I really didn't want to be your father! Look at my face.

Li Xiaotian smiled and said, “Young Master Ye, you are still too naive!”

“Where is this? This isn’t Ye Family Pass!”

“This is a man-eating world!”

“If you don’t eat people, others will eat you!”

“Young Master Ye holds Grade-4 Alchemy, this is an opportunity but also a threat!”

“That depends on who it is for!”

“My Li Family controls the entire Grade-4 Medicinal Pill market in Jianglan City and its surrounding areas!”

“Do you think we can tolerate you becoming a competitor?”

Saying that, Li Xiaotian stood up and walked to the balcony, pointing to Ye Family Pass and said.

“Young Master Ye! Open your eyes and look carefully!”

“Although this is Ye Family Pass, you wouldn’t really think that the Ye Family is supreme here, would you?”

“My Li Family just thinks the Grade-3 Medicinal Pill market here is too small!”

“We simply can’t be bothered to get involved here!”

“But once we do get involved, it will be a devastating blow to the Ye Family!”

“Can you understand?”

“And opportunities like today, placed before you, to ascend to the heavens in one step, won’t be many!”

“So, Young Master Ye, you must think it through carefully!”

Ye An smiled and said.

“Listening to Young Master Li, I should probably thank you then!”

“But me, I’m actually afraid of heights!”

“As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall!”

“I guess I won’t be able to enjoy the wealth and glory of the Li Family!”

“I also advise Young Master Li not to speak too confidently!”

“Although Ye Family Pass is a small place, it’s not just anyone who can manage it!”

“The effort the Ye Family has put into Ye Family Pass over the years, the local people have all seen it!”

“The Ye Family has guarded Ye Family Pass for so many years, how many young clansmen have died here for the peace of this land!”

“These things cannot be measured by money!”

“The Li Family may be wealthy, but the Ye Family also has the Phoenix bone!”

“It’s not good to speak too confidently, Young Master Li, be careful not to be slapped in the face!”

Li Xiaotian laughed upon hearing this.

“Haha!”

“It seems Young Master Ye is determined not to cooperate!”

“Fine! My Li Family doesn’t lack you!”

“It’s just, what did Young Master Ye say?”

“Don’t speak too confidently? Be careful not to be slapped in the face?”

“Young Master Ye, why don’t you go out and ask around, who can slap my Li Xiaotian’s face?”

“I’ll tell you right now, besides my father, there is no second person who can slap my Li Xiaotian’s face!”

Ye An hadn’t spoken yet when the maid beside him spoke up, unconvinced.

“That’s not right!”

“Last time at the Ye Family, you publicly questioned Young Master Ye’s ability to refine Grade-4 Medicinal Pills!”

“Weren’t you slapped in the face by Young Master Ye that time!”

“You!”

“Where did this dead girl come from, get lost!”

“Do you have a right to speak here!”

Li Xiaotian’s face was almost green.

Ye An quickly waved his hand and said.

“Young Master Li, don’t be angry, our maid is just like this, she doesn’t know how to act!”

“But don’t worry, I really didn’t want to be your father!”

“You!”

Li Xiaotian’s face instantly became even uglier upon hearing this.

And at this moment, he finally realized.

This Ye An clearly had no intention of cooperating with him; he was colluding with the maid to play a trick on him!

Li Xiaotian came to his senses, his expression was extremely cold, and he said in a cold voice.

“Good! Good for you, Ye An!”

“I, Li Xiaotian, will remember you!”

“Since you refuse a toast and choose a forfeit, then don’t blame me for being impolite when the time comes!”

“I hope you can still be so proud when you kneel and beg me in the future!”

Ye An quickly said.

“Young Master Li, what are you saying!”

“I really didn’t want to be your father, why are you still angry!”

“Only your father can slap your face, I didn’t say that either!”

“You!”

Li Xiaotian was so angry he was almost exploding, pointing at Ye An and saying.

“Are you playing dumb with me!”

“Alright, you keep playing dumb with me!”

“When my caravan arrives, I’d like to see if your Ye Family’s shops can still operate!”

As Li Xiaotian was speaking, the shopkeeper beside him also quickly shouted.

“Young Master, Young Master! Our caravan has arrived!”

Li Xiaotian quickly looked towards the street outside upon hearing this.

Sure enough, he soon saw a caravan dressed in Li Family attire, majestically walking towards them!

The butler quickly leaned over the balcony and waved to the caravan.

And Li Xiaotian also took the opportunity to turn his head and sneer.

“Ye An, do you see? My caravan has arrived!”

“Now, even if you kneel and beg me, it won’t work!”

“You wait to die, after I ruin the Ye Family, you’re next!”

Ye An said helplessly.

“Young Master Li, why bother!”

“Even if a deal doesn’t go through, friendship remains!”

“And haven’t you heard, those who insult others will be insulted by others?”

“It’s still the same saying, don’t speak too confidently, be careful not to be slapped in the face!”

“Haha! Alright, I’ll wait to see how you slap my face!”

“You are not worthy to challenge me!”

Li Xiaotian’s face was full of disdain.

And while they were talking.

The Li Family caravan finally stopped on the street outside.

Then a worker quickly ran upstairs.

Li Xiaotian quickly said upon seeing this.

“What are you still standing around for, quickly unload the goods, the shop is opening!”

“What are those gong and drum teams and lion dance teams, quickly get them to play and dance for me!”

As Li Xiaotian’s voice fell, sure enough, the gong and drum team and lion dance team at the entrance of the Li Family shop began their performance.

The entire street was filled with onlookers!

However, the caravan worker who ran up had a pale face and quickly pulled Li Xiaotian and the shopkeeper aside.

“Why the hell are you pulling me? Get down and unload the goods quickly!”

“Don’t you see my shop is full of people, just waiting to pick up their goods!”

Li Xiaotian cursed.

The worker, however, swallowed his saliva and whispered.

“Young Master, I’m afraid you won’t be able to open today!”

“What the hell are you saying?”

“What do you mean I can’t open for business?”

“So many people are watching, and the shop is full of customers, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Li Xiaotian was so angry he wanted to kill someone.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper was still calm and quickly stopped Li Xiaotian, asking.

“No, what’s going on? You better explain clearly!”

The worker lowered his head and said.

“Last night… last night our caravan was robbed!”

“Everything was stolen!”

“Even the guards accompanying the carts were killed!”

“Young Master, we have no goods right now, your shop really can’t open today!”

Li Xiaotian was completely stunned when he heard this.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper reacted quickly and supported him.

Only then did he not faint!

Li Xiaotian grabbed the worker’s collar.

“What did you say?”

“Our Li Family caravan was robbed?”

“Who the hell had the guts to rob our Li Family caravan?”

“Don’t they want to live?”

The worker said.

“The other party was targeting our Li Family, their banner said ‘Specializing in robbing the Li Family’!”

“We were close to Ye Family Pass, so we rushed here first!”

“Young Master, you must quickly send the news to the Master and them!”

“This grudge cannot go unavenged!”

Li Xiaotian was so angry upon hearing this that he immediately took out a communication stone to send a message to his father!

However, the shopkeeper beside him quickly said.

“Young Master, it’s not too late to inform them later!”

“The most urgent matter is to quickly solve the problem of the shop opening!”

“Look at the customers below, they are all eagerly watching you!”

Li Xiaotian glanced outside, and indeed, all the customers were looking at him!

They were clearly all waiting for him to order the unloading of goods and the opening of the shop!

But the problem was, he had no goods now!

“Where the hell am I going to get goods, no, let’s open tomorrow!”

The shopkeeper almost died of anger upon hearing this.

“Young Master, how can that be!”

“The first day of opening is crucial!”

“If we lose credibility today, then we won’t be able to do business later!”

“How about, you first buy some Medicinal Pills from the Ye Family?”

“At least get through today’s opening!”

“Ah?”

Li Xiaotian couldn’t help but look at Ye An beside him upon hearing this.

Ye An was currently leaning over the balcony, watching the lion dance performance outside.

From time to time, he would clap and cheer!

It’s just that his cheers at this moment, heard in Li Xiaotian’s ears, seemed to be saying!

“Look!”

“You got slapped in the face, didn’t you!”
