Chapter 61: Rare Peace (Part 5)

  He carefully returned to his own little nest, and Yi Chi let out a sigh of relief.

  It's not easy to sneak into the Yi household without being detected, if it weren't for this transformation technique and my own decent hiding skills, I'd probably be invited by Father Yi to have tea right about now.

  "The harvest for tonight is still not bad, at least I found out in advance that someone was investigating me, so I'll just adapt to the situation, hehe." After a light laugh, Yi Chi rarely didn't cultivate and planned to have a good sleep.

  ......

  The next morning.

  "There are still three days until the auction, so I'll just go the day after tomorrow, no need to rush." Yi Chi sat leisurely in the courtyard, sipping tea and thinking.

  Yi Chi's recent expenses have been increasing, and the things he needs to exchange are also getting more and more. However, in terms of energy points, there is no stable income. Fortunately, taking advantage of this auction, he can sell some items to earn some energy points, and who knows, maybe even encounter some good treasures.

  Thinking of baby, Yi Chi thought of that plate he bought last time. Now thinking about it, 500 points a day is indeed not much, no, should say it's very little.

  "It seems that in the future, energy points can only be obtained by killing magical beasts. That's the most stable source of income! Thinking about those expensive magic cores, thinking about those that can be exchanged for millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, Yi Chi's heart couldn't calm down. He wished he could rush into the Magical Beast Forest and have a big kill right now. Unfortunately, his thoughts were beautiful, but reality was cruel. In fact, he didn't have the strength to do so. With his current strength, he could only hang around the periphery. If he really went inside, he would probably become some beast's midnight snack."

  "Ah! It would be great if some magic cores could fall from the sky!" Mei Mei imagined the scene of magic cores falling from the sky and couldn't help but laugh, although her smile was a bit...off.

  "What's on your mind, young master?"

  The sudden sound brought Yi Chi back to the real world, and he looked at Qiuyu with a hint of resentment. Qiuyu was looking at him in confusion, and Yi Chi quickly jumped up.

  "No, young master, I was thinking about the auction in two days and what gift to buy for you. Tell me, what do you like?" Yi Chi said with a serious face, completely different from his previous lecherous appearance.

  The little girl really believed Yi Chi's words and thought about it with a tilted head, looking so cute that Yi Chi was lost in thought.

  "Pfft! Pfft! Pfft, what was I thinking? She's still just a kid, and besides, I only think of her as my little sister." Yi Chi looked down on his own thoughts after reacting, but of course, all this was going on in his heart, he couldn't let Qiu Yu see anything.

  "Ah...I don't think so either." Akira said with a look of dismay on her face.

  "Hehe, it's okay, take your time to think. If you really can't think of anything, I'll just buy something that I think you'll like." Yi Chi said seriously, putting aside his own jumbled thoughts.

  "But having this little girl by my side, it's actually not bad!" Looking at Qiuyu's smiling face, Yichi couldn't help but start daydreaming again.

  "Hey, young master, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. Don't wait for me for lunch!!" Feeling the need to calm down, Yi Chi made a hasty retreat from the small courtyard, leaving Qiu Yu bewildered.

  "What's wrong with you, young master?" He tilted his head and thought for half a day, but still couldn't come up with an answer. So, Autumn Rain felt it was necessary to ask her own sister.

  "Perhaps sister knows what happened to young master." With that, Autumn Rain jumped and ran towards her sister's room.

  ......

  "Good grief, I don't know if it's the little girl's temptation that's getting stronger or my own thoughts are just too evil?" Yi Chi only thought of this after running far away.

  After thinking for a while, Yi Chi felt that Xiaoyao's temptation had grown stronger, and he didn't think his thoughts would be evil.

  "Ah. Indeed, it's the temptation of LOULI!! Don't underestimate it!!" Yi Chi concluded very seriously, without feeling how abundant his evil powers were.

  After thinking about this serious issue, Yi Chi felt that since he had already come out, it was necessary to go see his good big brother, after all, the other person was very concerned about him!!

  "Hehe, I wonder if my good brother didn't see what kind of expression that Water Cloud had when he went back? Really looking forward to it!" After thinking about it, Yi Chi looked at the direction and then headed towards Yi Xing's Xingtian Institute.

  ......

  Gyōten-in

  Just as Yi Chi had just walked to the door, he heard the angry curses from inside.

  "Looks like someone's angry!" With a chuckle, Yi Chi pushed open the courtyard door.

  Only to see, in the courtyard, Yi Xing was red-faced and scolding Huo Yun Dashi, who had a gloomy face. Meanwhile, Jian Nan and Jian Bei, the two brothers, were not in the courtyard. At this time, only Yi Xing and Huo Yun Dashi were present.

  Yi Xing, who was scolding furiously, looked towards the door with great annoyance upon hearing the sound of the door opening. When he saw that it was Yi Chi who had entered, his originally bright red face turned pale.

  "Wow!! Big brother, when did you learn to change your face?" Yi Chi said with a pretended curious expression, looking like a curious baby, this acting skill is truly unmatched.

  Upon hearing this, Yi Xing, who was already furious due to Master Shuiyun's disappearance, became even more enraged. However, his rationality told him that now was not the time to turn against Yichi.

  From the moment he saw Yi Chi, Yi Xing knew something was wrong. Although Master Shui Yun hadn't returned and was very angry, he didn't think of going to Yi Chi's side. Originally, one was a seven-star master while the other had only one star, which wasn't proportional at all. In Yi Xing's opinion, Master Shui Yun must have encountered some tricky situation, so he didn't come back.

  But now, seeing Yi Chi walking towards the Heavenly Court with a smile on his face, Yi Xing suddenly thought of a terrible outcome.

  "Perhaps, maybe, probably, that Water Cloud Master was killed by Yi Chi?"

  Thinking of this result, although Yi Hang is unwilling to believe it a hundred times, but the sarcastic smile on Yi Chi's face seems to be indicating that this result is probably true.

  On this side, Yi Hang is regretting the loss of Master Shuiyun, a good fighter, while on the other side, Master Huoyun is staring at Yi Chi with an expression as if he has seen a ghost. What a rich expression!

  "You... shouldn't you be dead?" A hand trembled as it pointed at Yi Chi, but the body slowly backed away, even Fire Cloud Master's courage was intimidated by this kind of ghost!!

  "Oh! Am I dead? How come I don't know about it myself?" Yi Chi said with a surprised face, but in fact, he was laughing inwardly.

  Who would have thought that this rough and tumble Huoyun Master is actually afraid of ghosts? Truly, you can't judge a person by their appearance!!

  But upon hearing Huoyun Master's words, Yi Xing, who was in a state of anxiety, was shocked and hastily spoke up, "Don't spout nonsense, when did my fifth brother die?"

  After finishing, he smiled and said to Yi Chi: "Hehe, I didn't expect that you, my fifth brother, would come to my Xingtian Institute! Don't mind what Huoyun Master said earlier, he drank too much wine last night and hasn't sobered up yet."

  Seeing Yi Hang's reaction, Huo Yun Dashi also reacted.

  "It turned out that this guy wasn't a ghost." Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of his own disciple who had gone to assassinate him and still hadn't returned with any news, and hastily looked at Yi Chi with eyes full of anger.

  "Hehe, I'm telling you, big bro, your subordinate doesn't seem to be welcoming me at all!!" Yi Chi pointed at Huo Yun's fiery gaze and said with a fearful face.

  "Hey, don't say that, you know that people who drink too much don't know what they're doing, haha, he's not even awake yet." Yi Hang glared at Huo Yun and said to Yi Chi with great embarrassment.

  After a pause, Yi Xing hurriedly spoke again: "Right, Fifth Brother, what brings you to your elder brother's place today?"

  Yi Chi looked at Yi Xing with a smile, of course he knew that his good brother was changing the subject. However, he didn't want to delve deeper into that topic either. Didn't you see that Huo Yun Dashi is still glaring at him? If he went too far, he feared that Huo Yun would directly take action. After learning from Shui Yun's defeat by Da Dou Shi, Yi Chi wasn't confident that he could defeat the obviously stronger Huo Yun Dashi again.

  So, Yi Chi followed Yi Xing's words and replied: "Isn't this just wandering around aimlessly? And then I ended up here at your place, big brother. I heard voices inside and curiously walked in to take a look."

  "Oh, I see." Yi Hang said with a hint of realization, but what he truly thought was beyond Yi Chi's knowledge, for he didn't possess the ability to read minds.

  "Hehe, but I think big brother has something else to say, so little brother will take his leave first." Yi Chi felt that he had achieved the effect he wanted, and these two didn't seem to welcome him anyway, so he bid farewell.

  "Oh, in that case, I won't see you off for a long way." Yi Hang said with equal politeness.

  "I'm leaving." Yi Chi waved his hand and walked out of the yard, still politely closing the door on his way out.

  After Yi Chi closed the door, the originally smiling face of Yi Xing turned gloomy.

  ......

  Outside the door, Yi Chi's face was gloomy as he said: "I may dislike trouble, but I've never been afraid of it. Since you want to target me, well, then be prepared to die."

  Turning back to glance at the closed big gate, Yi Chi let out a soft laugh. As for Yi Xing, he had never taken him seriously.

  "You're not even worthy of being my opponent." With that, Yi Chi lightly dropped a sentence and left with small steps.
