Nobody knew about the conversation between Yang Chen, Second Master Yang, and Yang Jinhe.
Three days later, in Second Master Yang’s courtyard.
Second Master Yang stood with his hands behind his back, speaking to his
Alchemy Boy Xu San: “Xu San, I’m going to the Li Family Commerce Association to buy some materials to make elixirs. Keep an eye on this courtyard and don’t let anyone in. If someone asks, just tell them I’m gone.”
“Yes, Second Master.” Xu San replied with a flattering smile.
Without further ado, Second Master Yang turned and left.
Xu San watched Second Master Yang’s figure disappear and gradually revealed a cold smile: “Wait until you come back? Hehe, Second Master, do you still have a chance to come back? If you hadn’t been impressed by Yang Chen and bewitched by him, maybe I could have begged Third Master to spare your life.
But it’s a pity you chose the wrong path. On this trip to the Li Family Commerce
Association, you don’t need to come back.”
With that thought, Xu San quietly left the mansion, then slipped away unnoticed from the Yang Family through a small path.
Not long after leaving the Yang family, Xu San sneaked into a deserted place and then whistled three times.
Immediately afterward, a rough-looking horse thief appeared in front of Xu San and said, “Xu San, isn’t the Yang family strictly forbidden to go out? How did you manage to come out?”
“How can the Yang family restrict their people from going out for a lifetime? Not to mention anything else, the profits of the Gravity Pill alone require them to go to the Li Family Commerce Association every month. It’s impossible to keep everyone from going out. Besides, I know a small path out of the Yang family, so naturally, I have my ways of sneaking out.” Xu San chuckled.
Xu San grinned and said, “Don’t worry, how could there be a tail? The Yang family members are not immortals; they wouldn’t guess.”
“Alright, do you have any news to report this time?” The horse thief asked.
“Of course, there’s big news. Second Master Yang is on his way to the Li Family Commerce Association right now. You should strike, intercept him on the way.
As long as you catch him, there’s no reason Yang Chen wouldn’t submit. Talent-spotter Second Master Yang promoted Yang Chen, and he can’t ignore him.” Xu San said viciously.
“Oh? If that’s the case, we have another card to threaten Yang Chen to submit. If your information is accurate, Third Master will reward you generously.” The horse thief said with a treacherous smile.
“Haha, we’re all on the same side. We’ll talk about this later.” Xu San was a smooth talker, so his modesty felt refreshing. But one could still see a hint of desire for rewards in his eyes.
“Alright, you go back for now to avoid suspicion. We can’t waste any time, we have to seize the opportunity to catch Second Master Yang before he goes to the Li Family Commerce Association.” The horse thief said slowly.
“Wish you great success!” Xu San hurriedly said.
Upon finishing his words, the horse thief was about to leave.
However, at that moment, a sudden sharp yell: “Want to leave? Hehe, where do you plan to go today?”
As the words fell, Yang Jinhe gradually appeared, accompanied by a number of Yang family members, including Second Master Yang and Yang Chen.
Second Master Yang, who had been hiding in the shadows, witnessed the whole scene of Xu San’s betrayal. At this moment, he closed his eyes in pain and said, “Xu San, when Yang Chen first used this plan to lure the snake from its hole, I didn’t think you would betray me. At least I didn’t think the mole would be you. When I picked you up and raised you for more than ten years, treating you like my own grandson, how could you betray me?”
Seeing Second Master Yang and the Yang family members appear, Xu San’s heart sank instantly as he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
The horse thief who had met with Xu San was even more shocked, exclaiming: “Xu San, you little bastard, you’ve ruined me!”
At this time, Xu San, not caring if he had betrayed the horse thief, knew that with the appearance of the Yang family members, there was no chance for him and the horse thief to resist. He hurriedly explained, “Second Master, don’t listen to Yang Chen’s confusion. I’ve been wronged. Don’t listen to him.”
“Listen to him? Hehe, do I need others to bewitch all this? Or do you think my old eyes are blinded?” Second Master Yang scolded.
Xu San was suddenly shocked, realizing that his conversation with the horse thief had been completely overheard by Second Master Yang.
Thinking of this, he said despairingly, “Yang Chen, it’s you again. Why did you suspect me of being a spy? I hid so well that it was impossible to be discovered.”
“You did a great job covering your tracks, but unfortunately, I still detected hostility towards me from you.” Yang Chen said slowly.
Xu San clenched his teeth and said, “Just based on this, you suspected I colluded with the horse thieves?”
Yang Chen yawned lazily, “Besides you, I do have other suspects, but you’re the one I suspect most.”
“Why!” Xu San couldn’t help but feel resentful in his heart.
He couldn’t figure it out.
Theoretically, he should be the one who would least likely be suspected by anyone.
Because he had been picked up by Second Master Yang since childhood.
Yang Chen looked at Xu San and simply said, “It’s very simple because your family name is Xu!”
These words made Xu San’s heart jump, “How can it be, how can it be.”
“There’s nothing impossible. If I’m not mistaken, Xu Hu should be related to you. Actually, I’ve always wondered how Third Master found me so quickly during the Adult Assembly. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that compared to others, you have the highest motive to inform Third Master of everything without being noticed,” Yang Chen said.
Of course, just these two points were not enough for him to confirm Xu San’s identity.
The most important point was the horse thief Xu Kun, whom he had killed in the Demon Beast Mountain!
Yes, through his memory search, he learned that the Spiritual Martial Realm horse thief’s name was Xavier Earth, and in his memory, he found traces of Xu San. Xu San was the son Xavier Earth had left behind when he violated the women of the Hundred Tribes of the Great Wilderness.
Once like Xu San, many characters played the role of horse thieves after violating women. Those who were born with good talents were raised and developed by them. Those who were not talented were planted in various tribes as servants on the surface but were informants for the horse thieves.
Xu San was one of them..
