As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yong'an came out.

Before the two handsome young men in blue shirts and black robes could react, the man grabbed their clothes and threw them out.

Next, Jiang Qiaoqiao was thrown out.

Gu An'an thought Jiang Yong'an was incredibly handsome for the first time. "Awesome!"

She might be able to raise Jiang Yong'an's wages.

For a worker who is both capable and tough, earning an extra ten coins a day seems like a pretty good deal.

The cheers made Jiang Yong'an chuckle slightly, but seeing Gu An'an's expression, he thought it would be nice to do it again.

The men in blue and black robes who had been thrown out barely came to their senses and, looking at the man standing at the door like a god, felt a little intimidated.

They were completely powerless to fight back just now; that's terrifying.

Even though the man had shown mercy just now, if he had been a little more ruthless, they might have died here.

Fear gripped my heart for a moment, until I heard a painful groan, followed by accusations, "You two are useless, utterly useless!"

How could you not even notice that? You're such a good-for-nothing!

Upon hearing this, the men in blue and black robes glanced at the young woman lying on the ground, but they made no move to help her.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was shocked that these two dared to be so disrespectful to her. Her expression immediately turned ugly. "I'll have Luo Jing kill you when I get back. You just wait!"

The men in blue and black robes exchanged glances upon hearing this, but their eyes still held a hint of fear as they looked at Jiang Yong'an.

Even if Luo Jing were to arrive, he would likely struggle to withstand even ten moves from this man.

Looking at Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was furious and embarrassed, Gu An'an felt a little schadenfreude. "Qiaoqiao, as an elder, I have a piece of advice for you. Girls shouldn't always be so quick to talk about fighting and killing. Although you and your mother have been kind to that Luo Jing, what if he gets tired of you one day and kills you? You won't even have time to cry then."

Using gratitude to justify one's actions.

They usually don't end up with good results.

Jiang Qiaoqiao felt as if this was gloating. She was in a bad mood, having been thrown out of the house and slammed to the ground, feeling as if her bones were broken.

The thought that all of this was thanks to Gu An'an made Jiang Qiaoqiao want to tear her flesh and blood apart!

Jiang Qiaoqiao, struggling to her feet, her brocade robes stained with dust and water, and her headdress adorned with jewels swaying precariously as if about to fall, uttered a harsh threat, "You, you just wait."

Gu An'an sighed upon hearing this, "Look at your niece, she's completely stubborn and unrepentant. It's the father's fault for not raising her properly."

These words carried a hint of lament, lacking the previous schadenfreude.

Jiang Yong'an nodded, "I know."

His gaze fell on the man in blue robes and black shirt. "Orchid Sect, what brings you to Anping?"

The men in blue and black robes exchanged glances upon hearing this, but quickly adopted the demeanor of a martial arts sect: "You know we are the Orchid Sect, yet you still dare to offend us? You just wait and see."

As he spoke, he tossed out a token.

Jiang Yong'an reached out and grabbed it.

Gu An'an leaned closer to take a look, "It's actually made of bronze!"

It's the same as the bronze medal in Jiang Mingyi's hand.

"Is there some special meaning to this?" Gu An'an had a bad feeling.

"This is their orchid token; once the wooden token is issued, its word must be obeyed. As for this bronze token, it's an orchid bronze token, a debt collector's warrant."

Jiang Yong'an's lips curled into a hint of disdain as he looked at the man in blue robes and black shirt. "Then I'll be waiting for you."

Gu An'an, standing to the side, could only think that she must have misheard.

You must have misheard.

Jiang Mingyi could still choose the wrong answer even when faced with a choice between two options; this is simply a joke.

How could you do this!

It was bad enough that he took things randomly from the man in black, but he even took a death warrant for himself.

Fortunately, the Orchid Sect members didn't know that Jiang Mingyi had taken the bronze token, otherwise...

Gu An'an couldn't imagine it.

She managed to steady herself as she walked into the shop. Once inside, she found a chair and sat down. "Ninth Sister, could you pour me a glass of water?"

Jiang Yong'an brought the water over. "Don't worry, I can handle it."

Gu An'an took a sip of water, looked up and asked him, "Are there many people from the Orchid Sect? What's their background?"

"Their origins are unclear, but there are quite a lot of them."

Gu An'an took another sip of water to calm her nerves. "Isn't that a locust swarm tactic?"

"What's the meaning?"

It doesn't mean anything.

With a large number of people, one wave surpasses the next.

Instead of answering, Gu An'an asked again, "Once this Orchid Bronze Token is issued, is it a fight to the death?"

Jiang Yong'an nodded.

We're doomed.

They're the kind of people who won't turn back until they hit a brick wall.

Gu An'an took a deep breath. "Is there anyone who can escape the Orchid Bronze Token?"

This question made Jiang Yong'an hesitate for a moment before he finally spoke, "I haven't heard of it yet."

Oh no, oh no, this is really the end.

"I have one last question. If I obtain an Orchid Wood Token, can it offset this Orchid Bronze Token?"

Jiang Yong'an couldn't answer that question.

He's not a member of the Orchid Sect.

"Never heard of it. Orchid Wood Tokens are extremely rare, and they are usually held by people in charge of various prefectures."

This means that out of the thirty-six prefectures of the Great Ye Dynasty, there were at most thirty or so Orchid Wood Tokens.

"There are too many copper tokens; it seems like everyone in the Orchid Sect has one."

Gu An'an slammed her hand on the table in anger, "This is not scientific! So many people have copper tokens, wouldn't that require a lot of copper?"

This is a very novel perspective that Jiang Yong'an had never thought of before.

The Orchid Sect has a large and powerful force, but the various prefectures and governments do not seem to have any intention of controlling it.

In particular, this orchid token certainly used a lot of copper.
