Chapter 40: Hit People in the Face (Second Update)

  Yi Chi had originally planned to go for a walk to clear his mind, but since he promised Qiu Yu that he would accompany her to the auction in the afternoon, he didn't plan on going too far.

  After the last incident, Yi Jia seemed to have become even more cohesive, which is a good thing. Of course, the people of Yi Jia didn't alienate Yi Chi because he was sealed away; on the contrary, those distant relatives would occasionally greet him with fawning smiles. After all, even if Yi Chi was sealed away, he would still be a Dou Ling-level expert in the future, not someone that these people who could only stay at the level of a Great Dou Shi for their entire lives could compare to. Living in a large clan, one must have a heart as cunning as a seven-holed pearl; otherwise, it won't do.

  Yi Chi just smiled and greeted them, without chatting much, after all, there was nothing to talk about.

  By the time he walked up to the main gate of the Ye family home, Yi Chi had already lost count of how many people he had greeted.

  "These people are really crazy!!" He couldn't help but exclaim, as Yi Chi strode out.

  "Wait, Fifth Master!!"

  A voice however made Yi Chi stop in his tracks and turn around.

  "Lian Yi, Lian the butler, what business do you have to stop me?" Yi Chi looked at the butler of the Yi family with a puzzled expression. Normally, Yi Chi rarely saw him, after all, managing all the servants and trivial matters in the entire Yi household kept him busy.

  "Hehe, Fifth Master is being polite, I dare not accept it." He smiled and continued, even the head butler's action seemed to be one he had maintained for many years, never having seen him change.

  "Master Wu, are you going out?" Lian Yi asked, although his tone was questioning, but everyone could see that Yi Chi was indeed going out.

  "Not bad, but isn't it a bit too much that the young master is also under house arrest? Seeing Lian Yi's expression, Yi Chi couldn't help but feel puzzled as well. He couldn't figure out what Lian Yi meant by this, and was he specifically waiting for him here? Otherwise, how could they have run into each other so coincidentally."

  "Heh heh, this isn't just any ordinary situation. Now, Fifth Master, you're a bit special, so it's better to bring some guards when going out." Lian Yi pointed to the ten guards behind him.

  Yi Chi had just arrived and hadn't paid attention to the ten guards, but after Lian Yi mentioned it, he turned to look, and upon looking, Yi Chi was also surprised.

  Why?

  It's just that none of these ten guards were able to be seen through by Yi Chi, which means something. To know, as long as they are Dou Shi, they can't escape Yi Chi's eyes. Since these ten people couldn't be seen through by Yi Chi, it goes without saying that they are high-ranking masters at the Great Dou Shi level.

  "Even Director Lian, this seems a bit too grandiose, doesn't it?" Yi Chi frowned and looked at Director Lian.

  "No, no, no, this is the master's order. If Young Master Wu wants to go out, it's better to bring them along." He shook his head and didn't explain much, only mentioning the master's name.

  "Alright, since it's Father's orders, I'll bring him along." Since this was someone his own father had sent to protect him, Yi Chi didn't have much to say, he just felt a bit puzzled.

  "Hehe, then I'll take my leave." After Lian Zongguan bid farewell and retreated, he gestured with his eyes for the ten people behind him to stand on Yi Chi's side, smiling as he walked away.

  "This guy is sinister, feels like a venomous snake. I'd better be careful from now on." Yi Chi thought to himself as he watched Lian Yi's departing figure.

  "I wonder how many of them should be addressed?" With that thought, Yi Chi turned to look at the ten guards who had already walked behind him.

  Only these ten guards were seen, each with a weathered face, but the faint killing intent that inadvertently flowed out revealed that they were not ordinary middle-aged men.

  "Subdue one under."

  "Destroy two."

  "Destroy three."

  "Destroy four."

  "Destroy the five."

  "Eliminate the six."

  "Destroy seven."

  "Destroy eight."

  "Destroy nine."

  "Destroy ten."

  Ten people signed up one after another.

  Just then, hearing the names of the ten men, Yi Chi felt that he still didn't understand the Yi family very well. These names were obviously used by the Yi family's dead warriors, using numbers to replace their surnames.

  "These ten people, I'm afraid they are from your father's faction?" Yi Chi guessed.

  "Alright, let's go." Yi Chi didn't think much about it. After all, these things weren't what he should be dealing with right now. For now, he just needed to focus on increasing his own strength as much as possible. As for the rest, he didn't need to bother with them.

  ......

  Lishi Auction House, as the second tallest building in Floating Feather City, was only one meter shorter than the city lord's mansion.

  Yi Chi and others walked to the front door of Li Tian Auction House, the first thing they saw was that huge pure gold signboard, five huge pure gold big characters, shining brightly under the sunlight.

  As for why no one came to rob, just take a look at the great gatekeeper.

  Thirty top-notch auctioneers, who dares to come and grab? The fact that Lisheng Auction House dares to use top-notch auctioneers as doorkeepers is enough to show its profound background. Unless someone is crazy, no one would dare to provoke Lisheng Auction House.

  It is said that the Floating Feather City's Lishan Auction House was just a branch, but this branch also had two Douzong guardians. As for the headquarters, Yi Chi didn't know how it was.

  After a moment's pause, Yi Chi led his guards into the first floor of Lishi Auction House.

  The auction house has nine floors in total. The first floor is for trading ordinary items, the second floor has slightly higher-end items than the first floor, and the third floor has some small luxury goods. It's only from the fourth floor onwards that you'll find more valuable items. As for the auction venue, the auctions for the first six days are all held on the sixth floor, and it's only the final one that will be held on the eighth floor. As for what the ninth floor is used for, Yi Chi isn't quite sure.

  I took a casual look and found that most of the items on this first floor were just some small trinkets, nothing worth buying.

  "Let's go and take a look at the fourth floor."

  Originally, Yi Chi just planned to take a casual look around, but thinking that with his current status, buying a few magic cores shouldn't be a problem, he decided to head to the fourth floor. After all, it was unlikely for fifth or sixth-grade magic cores to appear on the first three floors.

  Since there was a purpose, Yi Chi stopped looking around and went straight to the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

  However, it was blocked.

  "Sorry, this fourth floor is not for anyone to enter. You need to have the corresponding qualifications." One of the two guards blocking Yi Chi and others said.

  "Oh! There's this too? Hehe, then, here's my ID card, can I go in now?" Yi Chi smiled and didn't mind, after all, it was the other person's job responsibility.

  Actually, the two guards saw Yi Chi and his group's appearance and basically confirmed that the young man in charge was a young master of a large family. After all, no one can bring a large number of guards like Da Dou Shi when going out, and there were ten of them.

  However, their responsibility is to determine the identity of those who need to go up to the fourth floor. It's a necessary procedure that needs to be followed.

  Na Kan looked over and took the waist card handed over by Yi Chi.

  After seeing that pure gold waist card with the word "Yi" on it, he knew that this young man was the young master of the Yi family, one of the four major families in Floating Feather City.

  He hastily returned the token to Yi Chi, turned sideways and said respectfully: "It was originally Young Master Yi, I have been rude just now, please forgive me, Young Master Yi. Please."

  "Hehe, no big deal." He put away his name tag and smiled as he was about to walk up.

  "Damn it! Can't you watch where you're going? You bumped into me and don't even know it, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

  A loud and arrogant voice entered Yi Chi's ears, curiously turning around to look, Yi Chi wanted to see who dared to be so arrogant in Li Tian Auction House.

  At this glance, he was furious with Yi Chi.

  Only to see, one of the ten guards he brought with him was being scolded by a young punk, and behind that young punk were more than a dozen guards, all of whom had the strength of a Dou Shi. However, this was not what made Yi Chi angry, what made him angry was that the guard did not fight back, just letting others insult him like that.

  "What's with you, Laozi's bodyguard is also a scumbag like you." Yi Chi couldn't take it anymore and quickly walked up to give that little brat a loud slap.

  "Bang!!!"

  That voice is so clear and crisp, how can I describe its loudness!

  That little guy hasn't reacted yet, the expression on his face seems to be still frozen in the moment when he was scolded, but his high and swollen left cheek has a different flavor.

  "Bastard!! Dare to hit our young master, come on! Get him down." By the time their several bodyguards reacted, their young master had already fallen to the ground and passed out.

  "Hmph, trash, just a light tap and he's out cold, what a weakling." Yi Chi looked at the young man in luxurious clothes on the ground with disdain, not even bothering to acknowledge the several martial artists rushing over to capture him. These small fries couldn't touch him.

  "What are you still standing there for? Take them all down." Turning to the ten guards who had not yet made a move, Yi Chi was starting to doubt whether his previous guess was correct or not. How could these dead soldiers be so unprofessional?

  "Yes, young master." The ten men who finally reacted saw that someone was trying to harm their own young master and immediately pounced on them like fierce tigers, and in two or three moves, they knocked the sixteen guards brought by the young man to the ground.

  "This is more like it!! If you guys didn't show some effort, I would have thought you were just a bunch of useless trash with only theoretical strength!!" Yi Chi said with satisfaction.

  This remark made ten people feel suffocated at once.

  Looking at the group of people on the ground, Yi Chi playfully shook his head.

  Marsh, marsh, marsh.

  "Look at you, can't even hit someone properly? Learn from your young master, remember, next time you hit someone, hit their face!" Yi Chi said with a smile, while patting the face of the young man in luxurious clothing who was lying on the ground.

  Yi Chi's face was relaxed and refreshed, probably because he had finally vented out all the pent-up anger from the past few days.
