“You dare to attack?” Old Bai was also enraged. Seeing Yang Kai being suppressed to the point where he couldn’t breathe, the power of the Five Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth surged from his body as he raised his hand to slap Old Man Yu.
After executing this move, he suddenly realized that he was also not his opponent!
When he saw Yang Kai being bullied, his blood boiled, but by the time he could react, it was already too late to stop.
“Scram!” Old Man Yu didn’t even spare him a glance as he casually slapped his palm onto Old Bai’s chest. With a cracking sound, Old Bai was sent flying and crashed into the wall, causing the entire room to shake.
Yang Kai turned his head and saw that Old Bai’s face was pale, blood spurting from his mouth, and a large depression had appeared on his chest. His head was tilted to the side and he didn’t move at all, his face turning cold, “Old bastard, you’re courting death!”
The power in his body surged as he straightened his body and formed a series of hand seals, sending a palm strike towards Old Yu.
“Eh…” Old Man Yu’s face showed a look of surprise. It wasn’t that Yang Kai’s palm was strong, but under this palm, his thoughts actually paused for a moment, as if time had stopped.
This brat actually understood the Time Laws?
However, even so, the low strength is also his flaw. Old Man Yu coldly snorted as he raised his palm and pushed it forward.
With a loud bang, Yang Kai was also sent flying. The power of Time wrapped around Old Yu’s palm, causing it to rapidly wither, but it only lasted for a moment before it returned to normal. The difference in strength was too great, so Yang Kai’s power of time was easily dispelled by Old Yu. Otherwise, how could he be safe?
After retreating to the foot of the wall, Yang Kai let out a muffled groan as he forcefully suppressed the roiling blood in his heart and looked down at his hand. The hand he had used to fight with Old Yu couldn’t help trembling, even the bones in his wrist were broken.
Old Man Yu looked over coldly, “No one dares to swallow my Wind and Cloud Auction House’s things, those who dare to do so are all dead.”
“If you have the guts, then try to kill us!” Even though the situation was clearly not in his favor, Yang Kai still held his chin and stared at him with an arrogant expression.
Killing intent flashed across Old Man Yu’s eyes as he stared coldly at Yang Kai before turning around and waving his sleeve, “Keep an eye on them, don’t let them escape.” Saying so, he strode away.
The auctioneer glanced at Yang Kai with a look of disgust before leaving as well. The other workers closed the door before they left, obviously intending to imprison Yang Kai and Old Bai here.
Outside the door, Yun Zhenhua stroked his beard and frowned. Seeing Old Yu come out, he signaled to him and the two of them walked towards a secret room.
Not long after, they entered the secret room and Yun Zhenhua frowned, “After injuring them, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to handle this.”
No matter what, those two brats were from the First Inn. Although they had been rude first and Old Yu had taught them a lesson, they had still injured someone. Thinking about that woman’s madness, Yun Zhenhua felt a headache coming on.
Old Yu’s anger had yet to subside as he coldly snorted, “They were rude first and actually wanted to swallow my Wind and Cloud Auction House’s things. So what if this old master beats them up?”
Yun Zhenhua glanced at him and remained silent, knowing that this Old Yu had always been proud and arrogant. Although he was only a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, he had the will to swallow the Heavens, so it wasn’t his fault that he was too arrogant. Old Yu himself had the possibility of reaching the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage directly, but when he had broken through to the Open Heaven Stage, he had been deceived by a villain, resulting in him becoming a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator.
Moreover, Old Man Yu's Open Heaven achievement is not long, so he had probably never heard of this woman’s name before. Otherwise, how could he be so fearless?
But it didn’t matter, they were just two workers, so that woman wouldn’t make a fuss over them.
It was just that in this way, he would have to pay back the ten million Open Heaven Pills, otherwise it would be an excuse for her to make things difficult.
With this thought in mind, Yun Zhenhua took out a communication bead and sent a message to his subordinates to prepare ten million Open Heaven Pills. He also sent someone to the First Inn to ask Madam Lan to discuss how to deal with the aftermath.
Collecting the debts, taking the auction items, the two shop assistants disrupting the auction and bidding maliciously. In the end, they basically threw all the auction items into their hands, so this matter had to be discussed with Madam Lan.
Just as Old Bai was knocked out, a young woman rushed into the First Inn. When the shop assistant saw her, he quickly came up to her and asked with a smile, “Guest, please come in. Do you want to eat or stay?”
The woman hurriedly said, “I’m looking for your Proprietress, Madam Lan.”
The shop assistant looked her up and down and said with a smile, “I’m sorry Guest, but the Proprietress doesn’t see any guests. If there’s anything you need to tell me, I’ll inform her later.”
“It was Sir Yang who asked me to come here. He said I must tell the Proprietress!” The woman said.
“Sir Yang? Which Sir Yang?” The shop assistant was puzzled. There were many people with the surname Yang in Star City.
“Yang Kai, Sir Yang!”
The one who had rushed to the First Inn was Luo Haiyi. She had left after the auction ended, but Yang Kai had secretly told her something, so she had rushed to the First Inn.
“Did Yang Kai call you here?” Behind the counter, the Accountant who had been settling accounts suddenly looked up at Luo Haiyi.
Luo Haiyi nodded repeatedly, “Yes!”
“What is it? Where is that boy?” The Accountant asked.
Luo Haiyi shook her head and kept her mouth shut.
When the Accountant saw this, he couldn’t help laughing. This woman’s strength wasn’t high, and it seemed she hadn’t even condensed her Dao Seal yet. On the other hand, she was a delicate and naive person. When Yang Kai asked her to look for the Proprietress, she would look for the Proprietress, but when he asked, she wouldn’t answer.
Since it was Yang Kai who had summoned the messenger, it was likely he had something to do. The Accountant said, “Take her to see the Proprietress.”
The shop assistant nodded, “Yes! Young Lady, follow me.”
Leading the way, Luo Haiyi followed closely behind.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the Proprietress's room. The shop assistant bowed and said, “Proprietress, this young lady wants to see you. She said Yang Kai called her over.”
“Let her in,” The Proprietress's voice rang out.
“Please!” The shop assistant stretched out his hand.
Luo Haiyi took a deep breath and expressed her thanks before pushing open the door and entering the room. What she saw was a woman’s private room. It was very elegantly furnished and a fragrant scent lingered around her nose. Turning her head to look, she saw a woman with a voluptuous figure sitting on a chair in front of the dressing table. Her beautiful hair cascaded down like a waterfall and her beautiful face was reflected in the bronze mirror.
Their eyes met and the Proprietress asked, “Where is that damned brat?”
Damn brat… Luo Haiyi secretly stuck out her tongue, knowing that the Proprietress was talking about Yang Kai, immediately saying, “When I separated from him, he was at the Wind and Cloud Auction House.”
The Proprietress frowned, combing her hair as she asked, “What is he doing there?” Suddenly, she remembered that Wind and Cloud Auction House also owed them money, so they should have gone to collect their debts.
She also remembered that when he first came to Star City, Yang Kai had a night where he didn’t return. Later, when she asked him, he said that he had spent the night at a woman’s house.
Taking a closer look, the Proprietress frowned. Although this woman was quite good looking, her strength was obviously low, and her expression was timid, as if she had never seen the world before. Could it be that the little brat had spent the night at her house?
“What did he call you here for?” The Proprietress asked.
Luo Haiyi quickly stepped forward and opened the things she had been holding tightly, “He asked me to give these things to you!”
The Proprietress turned around and saw three Space Rings. One of them clearly had Yang Kai’s aura, while the other one had Bai Qi’s aura. Obviously, these two belonged to these two, while the other one seemed to be ownerless.
The shop owner stretched out her hand and took the ring. Using her Divine Sense, she first examined Yang Kai’s ring and couldn’t help raising her brow, “Hmph!”
Inside the ring, there was a large pile of Open Heaven Pills, all of which had obviously been acquired recently. This hateful brat had never given them to her, but for some reason he had asked an outsider to deliver them to her.
It was the same for Bai Qi, not much less than Yang Kai.
These two little bastards, wait until you come back and see how this Proprietress will deal with you! The Proprietress secretly swore in her heart as she looked up at Luo Haiyi, “Do you know what’s inside?” These two rings were worth three or four hundred million Open Heaven Pills, yet Yang Kai had actually asked an Emperor Realm master who hadn’t even condensed her Dao Seal to send them back, he wasn’t afraid of any mishaps! Although there weren’t many people in the Star City who would dare to do such a thing, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Luo Haiyi shook her head, “I haven’t seen it.”
The Proprietress's gaze softened a little. Whether Luo Haiyi had seen it or not, the fact that she could return the ring meant that this woman was a trustworthy person.
She didn’t try to explain anything to Luo Haiyi because the difference in status and strength was too great.
Looking at the third ring, there was a huge pile of miscellaneous things and a lot of good things, causing the Proprietress to be confused. She casually handed the ring to Luo Haiyi and asked, “Where did he get these things?”
Luo Haiyi took a look and covered her mouth, “This is what the auction house just auctioned.”
She also couldn’t figure out why this thing had appeared here, she just followed Yang Kai’s instructions and left first, then found a quiet place to wait. When she left, Yang Kai gave her a bead and told her that something would be delivered to her later, asking her to deliver it to the First Inn.
Not long after, the bead flashed and three Space Rings appeared in front of her.
“He participated in the auction?” The Proprietress was stunned.
Luo Haiyi nodded, “Sir Yang basically won everything.”
“This bastard…” The Proprietress suddenly stood up and was about to scold him for being a good for nothing when she suddenly thought of something and her expression changed as she shouted, “Not good!”
Taking back the Space Ring in Luo Haiyi’s hand, her figure flickered and she rushed out, not even having time to comb her hair.
Luo Haiyi stood dumbly on the spot, completely dumbfounded, but she also quickly followed after her, but how could she even see the Proprietress? She only heard the Accountant behind the counter look outside in surprise and ask a shop assistant, “Why is the Proprietress in such a hurry?”
The shop assistant shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
Seeing Luo Haiyi come out, the Accountant hurriedly called out to her and asked her a few questions, causing the Accountant’s expression to change greatly, faintly feeling that things were a bit troublesome.
