"He actually hit someone! Outrageous!"
In the auction house, members of the other major families in town also stood up.
Each of them was filled with righteous indignation.
They looked even angrier than if their own sons had been beaten.
They already had grievances against the Luo family to begin with!
Now that a Luo family guard had beaten up the Eldest Young Master Qiu, wasn't this the perfect opportunity to gang up on them!
"This guy..."
Ye Tian looked at An Yi and frowned slightly.
If Luo Zhihan were in danger right now, he couldn't just sit by and do nothing.
But right now, it was that kid named An Yi who was stirring up trouble.
Naturally, it wasn't appropriate for him to intervene.
Of course, going up there wouldn't do much good anyway. He couldn't even beat Pockmark Wang! How could he possibly be a match for those burly guards of the Qiu family?
For some reason, Ye Tian felt that his current life path was a bit awkward.
"An Yi, step back!"
Luo Zhihan bit her lower lip, looking anxious.
She was only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, and faced with this situation, she was somewhat panicked.
"Trying to beg for mercy now! It's too late!"
Supported by his guards, Qiu Bai stood up, a look of indignation appearing on his effeminate face. "Uncles, you all saw it. It was this barbaric guard who struck me first!"
The people from the other major families all glared in anger.
"Lowly peasant, how dare you attack your betters!"
"You bastard! Eldest Miss Luo, hand him over!"
Looking at the angry crowd in the auction house, An Yi said calmly, "He insulted the Luo family first!"
On Qiu Bai's swollen and deformed face, a look of anger emerged. "I hadn't even insulted the Luo... Bah, I never insulted anyone! You just came up and hit me!"
"Is that so?"
An Yi turned his head to ask.
Luo Zhihan answered honestly, nodding, "He indeed hasn't said it yet."
An Yi said casually, "Oh, well, a beating is a beating. Bullying men and oppressing women, acting arrogantly, and preying on the common people, he deserves to be beaten!"
"You..."
Qiu Bai was so angry his nose was crooked.
You son of a... you're actually right!
As the Eldest Young Master of the Qiu family, he indeed hadn't done many good deeds.
"Attack together and take down this bastard!"
Qiu Bai roared with a shrill voice.
A group of guards, who had long been eager for action, prepared to strike.
An Yi revealed a contemptuous smile.
Just a bunch of trash!
Even if everyone in Luo Family Town added up, it wouldn't be enough for him to fight.
"An Yi, run!"
Luo Zhihan pulled on An Yi's sleeve, her beautiful face pale with fright.
Beside them, Ah Lai was so scared his legs were shaking like a sieve.
However, he didn't flee from the battle, clearly having prepared himself to take a beating.
"Leave it to me."
An Yi looked back, revealing a warm and confident smile.
"I want to break one of his fingers!"
Qiu Bai said, his face vicious.
The lead guard grinned fiercely. "Yes, sir!"
As he spoke, he hefted his broadsword and was the first to smash it toward the top of An Yi's head, showing no mercy whatsoever.
The speed was so fast that everyone was shocked.
Early Qi Condensation stage!
A guard of the Qiu family was actually an expert at the Qi Condensation stage!
An Yi's expression remained leisurely as he stretched out two fingers and easily caught the terrifying blade.
Clang!
The broadsword was caught, and even though the lead guard used all his strength, it didn't budge an inch.
The crowd was shocked once again.
They seemingly hadn't expected this kid, who looked like a gigolo, to be so incredibly strong!
Crack!
An Yi applied a little force with his two fingers.
The broadsword actually shattered directly into numerous pieces, crumbling apart!
This scene completely dumbfounded everyone present.
Catching the attack of an early Qi Condensation stage spiritual cultivator with two fingers was already terrifying enough, but to directly shatter the weapon with those fingers... what kind of maneuver was this!
The lead guard's reaction wasn't slow. Looking exasperated, he swung his palm to strike An Yi's chest.
Judging by his stance, he indeed had some strength!
An Yi, with his hands in his pockets, raised his foot.
Thud!
The lead guard's burly body was directly smashed to the ground by An Yi's seemingly effortless kick.
The ground shook!
It made the eyelids of everyone present twitch wildly.
Did this kick really have that much power?
The other guards were also dumbfounded. Gripping their weapons, they hesitated to step forward.
"Which finger?"
An Yi looked down at the lead guard from above and asked.
A wisp of terrifying killing intent instantly made this guard's heart skip a beat.
Before he could even speak, An Yi's shoe had already ground down on his middle finger.
"This one. I'm afraid you'll point it at me!"
An Yi said flatly.
The lead guard on the ground let out a miserable shriek like a slaughtered pig.
Bang!
Following that, the lead guard's body was swept away by An Yi's kick like a piece of trash, smashing into the wall.
This loud crash also startled the seated crowd, rendering them as quiet as winter cicadas.
"Who else!"
An Yi asked with a grin.
The scene was a bit awkward.
Those who had been clamoring just now all kept their mouths shut.
Qiu Bai was also scared ashen.
This guy was simply a thug!
Behind him, Luo Zhihan looked at An Yi's back, her face flushed red, her heart pounding like a little deer running amok.
She had originally thought An Yi was just a handsome man, but she hadn't expected his strength to be so formidable as well.
"Ding! Suppressed the Child of Destiny, Destiny Value minus 5! Reward obtained: Evil Power Value plus 10!"
Hearing this voice, An Yi was slightly startled.
He looked back and saw Luo Zhihan's admiring gaze, and immediately understood.
Was his performance just now too flashy, captivating the Eldest Miss of the Luo family?
"Attack together! There are over twenty of us, I don't believe we can't take down this punk!"
Qiu Bai roared through gritted teeth.
The other guards trembled with their blades, bracing themselves to step forward.
"Stop!"
At this moment, the sound of light footsteps came from the high platform of the auction house.
"This is an auction house! If you want to fight, please take it outside!"
The curtain opened.
A woman with a slender figure swayed her willow-like waist as she emerged from the back.
An Yi looked up and raised an eyebrow slightly.
The woman was around twenty years old, with an oval face and a delicate appearance. A form-fitting blue dress outlined her graceful figure.
The system didn't chime, so it seemed she wasn't a 9 out of 10!
Below the stage, Ye Tian was slightly shocked. Looking at the woman in the blue dress, a bit of tenderness revealed itself in his eyes.
This auctioneer, named Xue Jia, was the childhood sweetheart of the original owner, Ye Tian.
Xue Jia looked at An Yi, feeling somewhat apprehensive in her heart.
She had witnessed with her own eyes the scene of this guy brutally beating the guard just now.
"Hmph! I'll let you off this time!"
Hearing this, Qiu Bai quickly muttered.
Even though he was so scared just now that his bladder almost burst, he couldn't lose face!
Noticing Xue Jia's wary gaze fixed on him, An Yi shrugged, indicating that he wouldn't make a move.
Only then did Xue Jia breathe a slight sigh of relief.
It seemed this guy wasn't some completely unreasonable scoundrel after all!
"Let the auction officially begin!"
Xue Jia cleared her throat and began to introduce the auction items one by one.
The auction house in Luo Family Town.
The scale wasn't large to begin with, so there weren't many tedious and complicated procedures.
Everyone in the venue behaved themselves, occasionally glancing in An Yi's direction.
They were terrified that he would suddenly get up and cause trouble.
The sight of him brutally beating the lead guard just now was simply too terrifying.
An Yi sat with his legs crossed, having actually quieted down quite a bit.
He figured he should behave. He hadn't even found the new Child of Destiny yet, but had already dropped his points by ten. If they met face-to-face, he probably wouldn't even recognize him.
"Brother Yi, that was amazing!"
Ah Lai gave An Yi a thumbs-up, beaming with joy.
It had always been the Luo family bowing their heads to these major families.
He had never imagined that he would ever see those great families tucking their tails between their legs in front of the Luo family.
Although he was just borrowing someone else's prestige, the feeling was indeed incredibly refreshing!
Luo Zhihan's eyes sparkled as she said, "An Yi, you're amazing."
An Yi waved his hand slightly and said, "Keep a low profile."
Below them, Ye Tian caught a glimpse of this scene.
For some reason, he felt a sourness in his heart.
He had soul-transmigrated into this guy's body, hadn't accomplished a single damn thing, and had to watch helplessly as the guy's goddess flew away!
It was too heartbreaking!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
