Rebirth of Jinxuan

Lu Jinxuan frowned slightly and lowered her voice, saying, "This thing has a unique shape; it's obviously not an ordinary item. What if the auction house loses something and they suspect you?" Zhang Yuxi smiled but remained silent, only meaningfully shaking the Seven-Key Green Gold Key in her hand, her expression seemingly saying: It's a small matter; don't panic.

Qian Feng, standing to the side, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth.

"What if they suspect Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba? Those two little guys look so clever, it's easy for people to misunderstand!" Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba are usually mischievous and clever, which does attract attention.

"Don't worry," Zhang Yuxi put the Seven Keys Green Gold Unlock back into his sleeve and gave Qian Feng a look that said, "Stay calm, we can win. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If you really have any doubts, I have my own methods."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded, "thump, thump, thump," like a death knell, making him feel irritable and restless.

Zhang Yuxi and Lu Jinxuan exchanged a glance and quickly reached a consensus.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Ba, hold me tight!" Lu Jinxuan whispered, and the two fluffy little guys immediately snuggled obediently in her arms, their big, watery eyes wide open, putting on an innocent and adorable act.

"Come in." Zhang Yuxi said calmly, as if she had everything under control.

A series of light footsteps sounded outside the door, and then the door creaked open...

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a shiny face walked in. He was the third elder of the auction house.

Behind him followed two pretty waitresses, carrying exquisite trays with several items on them, the most eye-catching of which was a heavy bag of gold.

Meanwhile, on the auction stage, the presiding elder announced loudly, "Distinguished guests, due to special circumstances, this auction of elixirs is temporarily suspended and will resume in three days. Please come again then." A murmur of dissatisfaction immediately arose from below the stage, but due to the authority of the auction house, no one dared to argue loudly, and could only mutter underhanded complaints that this "special circumstance" was probably a "shady deal."

The Third Elder walked up to Zhang Yuxi with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Esteemed guest, I am truly sorry to have kept you waiting. This is a compensation of one thousand gold coins after deducting the cost of bidding for the Green Gold Solution. Please take a look."

Zhang Yuxi took the gold, weighed it in his hand, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "Not bad efficiency. It seems the auction house knows how to do business. Money and goods settled, farewell!" He turned around gracefully and walked out with Lu Jinxuan and the others, leaving the Third Elder standing there with an awkward smile on his face.

Just as I reached the door, I heard a commotion outside, with shouts of "Thief!" faintly mixed in.

Zhang Yuxi paused, turned back to look at Lu Jinxuan, and her eyes held a hint of inexplicable excitement: "This is going to be good..."

Outside the door, a young man in white moved nimbly, like a slippery eel, weaving freely among the auction house's guards.

His moves were as fast as lightning and his techniques were exquisite. After several rounds, not a single guard could even touch the hem of his clothes.

This isn't catching a thief; it's clearly a battle of wits between masters, flowing smoothly and pleasing to the eye!

"Wow! This little thief is quite skilled!" Qian Feng's eyes widened as he rubbed his chin. "That movement technique, that speed, could he be... a disciple of the legendary Chaolu Pavilion?"

Lu Yuhang shook his head. "I've met a few disciples of Chaolu Pavilion, but I don't think I've met anyone like this."

Zhang Yuxi narrowed her eyes, carefully observing the boy's fighting style. "He doesn't seem to be a demon; he's a human."

More and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle, and discussions arose among them.

"This kid's got some nerve, daring to steal from an auction house!"

"Stealing? Look at his skills, he's probably here to cause trouble!"

"Sigh, young people these days are so impulsive! The auction house is full of experts; he's courting death!"

"You can't say that. Look at his lightness skill and his movements, wow, he's practically a 'folk martial arts master'!"

"Exactly! Although stealing is wrong, I admire his skills!"

"That move was absolutely mind-blowing!"

Among the crowd, some people began to whisper about the boy's identity and background, speculating which sect he belonged to, given his audacity.

"This young man's lightness skill is simply amazing! It's even three points faster than my 'water-skimming'!" A man dressed as a street performer stroked his chin, looking on with envy.

On the other side, a woman dressed in flamboyant attire covered her mouth and chuckled, "This young man is quite handsome, it's a pity he's a thief..."

"Go for it, little brother! I believe in you!" A bold girl actually publicly cheered for the boy.

Exclamations of praise, gasps of surprise, and murmurs of discussion rose and fell among the crowd, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

The auction house's elder, who was enjoying tea in the back room, frowned as he heard the commotion outside growing louder.

He sent someone out to find out what was going on and learned that someone was causing trouble at the auction house, which enraged him.

"Outrageous! How dare they cause trouble in my auction house!" The Grand Elder slammed his teacup to the ground with a loud "crack," startling the servants around him... The Grand Elder stormed out of the back hall, only to find the auction house hall packed with people, bustling like a New Year's market.

His fierce eyes swept over them, and they almost couldn't catch their breath!

This isn't catching a thief, it's a massive fan meeting!

His auction house guards, each possessing unique skills, were now like a group of monkeys being played, circling around the white-robed youth, yet unable to even touch the hem of his clothes.

What infuriated him even more was the discussion among the onlookers—

"This thief moves with such agility; he's clearly a trained martial artist!"

"More than just a martial arts practitioner, he has extraordinary talent and is a once-in-a-century martial arts prodigy!"

"The auction house has really lost face this time. So many people and they still couldn't catch a petty thief!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, he's not a petty thief, he's a Robin Hood! The kind who robs the rich to help the poor!"

The Grand Elder's face turned green. Wasn't this a clear indication that his auction house was incompetent?

When had he, the esteemed elder of the auction house, ever suffered such an utter humiliation?!

"Stop it, all of you!" The elder roared, his voice booming like a bell, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

He strode into the battle, stood with his hands behind his back, and an immense pressure instantly enveloped the entire arena.

"You petty thief, how dare you cause trouble in my auction house! Today I'll show you what true power really means!"

The white-robed youth paused, glancing at the elder with a half-smile: "Old man, be careful your old bones don't fall apart."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

This brat actually dared to provoke the Grand Elder?!

It’s so boring!

The Grand Elder was so angry his beard bristled. He sneered, "You greenhorn, you've got quite the nerve! Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!" With that, he flashed forward like an eagle, swooping down on the white-robed youth… In the blink of an eye, just as the Grand Elder was about to grab the youth's collar, a sly smile appeared on the youth's lips. Suddenly, a package appeared in his hand, which he tossed into the air… "Catch!"
