The Yan family could not possibly take all of their commoners, mineral veins, herbal gardens, and business assets with them. After all, if these were not handed over to Yan Taibai, they would eventually just fall into the hands of the Seven Sects of Yue Country, especially since the commoners had not yet fully evacuated. If they were simply abandoned, the consequences were easy to foresee.
Both Yan Taibai and Yan Ruyan were cultivators with the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Yan Taibai, in particular, had effectively severed ties with the Yan family and was a disciple of Old Man Qiong of the Masked Moon Sect. His potential was immense, and the Masked Moon Sect would never jeopardize his life as long as they were not fools. The sect had become his final pillar of support, ensuring their relationship would only grow stronger. Naturally, he was the best person to entrust with these assets.
"Many thanks, Ancestor. Taibai accepts." Upon hearing the Yan Family Ancestor's words, Yan Taibai cupped his hands and agreed. The Yan family’s industry, accumulated over so many years, including the mineral veins and gardens, was enough to entice any of the Seven Sects of Yue Country. Now that it was all to be his, he knew that with his current status, protecting it would not be an easy task. Fortunately, he still had the Masked Moon Sect.
