At Taihang Market, in front of the Ye Family Shop, several figures in Spirit-Blocking Robes hurriedly entered the market.
"Has your Patriarch arrived?" he asked in a low voice.
It was still early morning, and the bamboo grove was silent, with few cultivators at the Ye Family Shop.
Occasionally, a spirit beast's roar could be heard.
"And who might you be?" Ye Xinghong asked hesitantly.
"An old friend of your Ye family," came the slightly impatient reply.
Ye Xinghong sensed something was amiss but remained calm and did not get angry at the other's tone.
"The Patriarch hasn't arrived yet, but the Master of Commerce Hall in our Ye family is here, and he is also in charge of the Ye Family Tavern's Pill Shop and Spirit Beast Shop," Ye Xinghong replied patiently.
"What good is that!" the cultivator huffed and left immediately.
Still puzzled, Ye Xinghong took out a jade talisman and transmitted a message to Ye Xinghe.
