Rebirth of Jinxuan

"Catch!" Before the white-robed youth finished speaking, the package exploded in the air, and countless treasures poured down from it like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

Golden magical artifacts, crystal-clear spirit stones, and pills exuding a strange fragrance... In an instant, the entire auction house hall was filled with a dazzling light.

"Holy crap! What kind of treasures are these?!"

"My goodness! Did this kid bring over some royal treasure trove?!"

"Get rich! Get rich!"

The crowd, who had been watching the battle, suddenly turned red-eyed and rushed towards the scattered treasures like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

The scene was chaotic, with people jostling and trampling each other. Shouts, curses, and cries for help blended together, creating a deafening cacophony.

At the entrance of the auction house lobby, Lu Jinxuan held Lu Yuhang tightly and, taking advantage of the chaotic scene, quietly slipped out.

Almost simultaneously, a figure flashed out like a ghost, following closely behind.

That's Zhang Yuxi.

The auction house lobby was in complete chaos.

The demon hunters, who were once dressed in fine clothes, now looked like starving ghosts, fighting each other fiercely for the treasure.

"Holy crap! This is mine!" A burly man punched another skinny demon hunter in the face. The latter screamed and blood gushed from his nose, but he still clung tightly to the spirit stone in his arms.

"Mine! Mine! All mine!" A ragged demon hunter, like a madman, grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth, choking and rolling his eyes back, but still refused to stop.

The thugs who were originally maintaining order at the auction house were also caught up in the melee, and they were all beaten black and blue, crying and screaming.

The elder stood on the high platform, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Stop! All of you, stop!" However, his voice was drowned out by the clamor, like the buzzing of a mosquito, and no one paid any attention.

The powerful demon hunters, while protecting the treasures they had seized, continued to join the melee, attempting to take even more from others.

A hot, beautiful waitress squatted on the ground, covering her ears. The elder's roar had made her dizzy and disoriented. She cursed inwardly, "Can't this old man keep his voice down? I'm going deaf!"

"Boss, let's go too!" A young demon hunter rubbed his hands excitedly, eager to try.

"Wait a minute," the old demon hunter beside him squinted, observing the situation. "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Let's wait a bit longer..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him...

"Ouch! Who stepped on my foot!" "Don't push! Don't push! I'm going to die!" The shouts and curses rose and fell, but they did nothing to stop the two from escaping.

Finally, the two rushed out of the auction house, breathed in the fresh air, and felt reborn.

Just as they turned the corner, a familiar voice drifted over: "Hey, you're pretty fast! I thought you were going to get crushed into meat patties!" Gu Zhen leaned against the wall, looking at them with amusement, holding a half-eaten chicken leg in his hand.

"I said, are you guys really that scared? It's just a little gadget, look how frightened you are." He said, patting his chest exaggeratedly, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Zhang Yuxi put Lu Yuhang down, and the child immediately clung tightly to Lu Jinxuan, his little face turning pale with fright.

Lu Jinxuan patted her son's back reassuringly, then glared at Gu Zhen: "How dare you say that! If it weren't for you..."

Before she could finish speaking, several demon hunters dressed in identical attire came running up breathlessly and grabbed Gu Zhen's arm: "Boss! Where have you been! We've been looking for you for ages!" Gu Zhen shrugged, feigning innocence: "I was just hungry, so I came out to buy a chicken leg!" As he spoke, he deliberately waved the chicken leg in his hand, before being dragged away by his companions, leaving behind a meaningful remark lingering in the air: "The real show is just beginning..."

Lu Jinxuan's almond-shaped eyes widened as she pointed at Gu Zhen's departing figure, stamping her feet in anger: "How could this person be like this! What if someone died inside? He's so immoral!"

Zhang Yuxi wasn't so agitated. He brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes and said slowly, "Calm down. It's not worth getting angry with this kind of person. Besides, auction houses are a mixed bag; something always happens. Today's incident might actually be a good thing, giving us a chance to escape." As he spoke, he winked at Lu Jinxuan, giving her a "I'm smart, aren't I?" look.

Lu Yuhang recovered from his shock and chimed in in a childish voice, "Mommy, Daddy's right! We escaped!"

Lu Jinxuan sighed helplessly. This father and son were both incredibly carefree.

"Alright, alright, I know you guys are tough. Let's get going, we can't stay here any longer."

Just as the three were about to leave, Gu Zhen returned, this time with two more jars of wine in his hands.

"Hey, hey, don't go! Why are you in such a hurry? Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate our escape from death!" he said, handing one of the jars of wine to Zhang Yuxi.

Seeing this, Lu Jinxuan immediately pulled Zhang Yuxi behind her and looked at Gu Zhen warily: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Zhen spread his hands innocently: "Don't be nervous, I just wanted to invite you for a drink. I am Gu Zhen, the vice leader of the Lightning Demon Hunting Team. May I ask who you are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jinxuan snatched the wine jar from his hand and smashed it on the ground. With a "crack," the jar shattered, and the aroma of wine filled the air.

"No need, we can't afford to associate with you!" After saying that, he pulled Zhang Yuxi and Lu Yuhang and turned to leave, leaving Gu Zhen with a resolute back view.

Gu Zhen watched the three figures disappear into the distance, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. He muttered to himself, "Interesting..."

Gu Zhen watched the three figures disappear into the distance, the meaningful smile on his lips still lingering, when a deep voice called out from behind him: "Deputy Commander, you're here! The boss has been looking for you for ages!" A burly middle-aged man strode over, his expression slightly anxious.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhen's smile faded, and he turned to look at the newcomer: "What's the matter that you're in such a panic? What's wrong with the boss this time?"

The middle-aged man scratched his head and lowered his voice, saying, "It's all because of the auction house incident! I heard quite a few people died, and even the city lord was alarmed! The boss is afraid we'll get involved, so he's been looking for you everywhere!"

"Someone died? Tsk tsk, these people really don't act until they see a clear benefit..." Gu Zhen's tone was laced with sarcasm, showing no sign of panic.

He casually dusted off his sleeves and said nonchalantly, "Alright, I got it, I'll be right there."

Seeing his composure, the middle-aged man became even more suspicious and couldn't help but ask, "Deputy Commander, you just... deliberately threw that treasure away, didn't you? What exactly are you trying to do?"

Gu Zhen glanced at him and smiled mysteriously: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed! Just enjoy the show! Remember, if anyone asks about today's events, just say we know nothing, understand?"

“I…I understand…” The middle-aged man was completely confused, but he still nodded obediently.

Gu Zhen patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked in the opposite direction from Lu Jinxuan's family, leaving the middle-aged man standing there bewildered.

After walking a distance, the smile on Gu Zhen's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold and stern expression.

He took out a jade pendant from his pocket, gently stroking it, his eyes deep and cold.

"The Holy Maiden of the Moon-Dwelling Demon Kingdom... Ha, it's truly a case of finding something without even looking for it..."
