After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Chi Yi rolled her eyes at Jin Haoyu, too lazy to pay him any attention, and turned to leave.

Jin Haoyu hurriedly caught up, muttering to himself, "This Hu Rensheng is handsome, comes from a decent family, and has good cultivation aptitude. If his character is also up to par, he could be a good cultivation partner..."

When they reached the door, Chi Yi stopped and said irritably, "Are you the matchmaker Hu Rensheng hired?"

Jin Haoyu stopped talking and mumbled, "No."

"Why do you care what he does? Wouldn't it be better to use that time to cultivate?" After saying that, he went into the room and closed the door, leaving Jin Haoyu standing outside in the wind, bewildered.

Jin Haoyu blinked his big eyes, revealing nothing but innocence. Why did Chi Yi seem a little angry?

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that he was indeed in the wrong. How could a friend side with someone else?

Once he understood, he immediately made his stance clear, shouting towards Chi Yi's door, "Chi Yi, I was wrong, I won't do it again!"

Chi Yi, who was inside the room, heard his words and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"understood!"

Hearing the reply, Jin Haoyu was relieved. She was no longer angry and turned to go back to her room.

The next day, the two went downstairs for dinner and, unsurprisingly, saw Hu Rensheng again. This time, with Jin Haoyu present, Chi Yi was basically mute and never spoke unless asked. Since they were just ordinary friends and she had no feelings for him, she didn't want to cause any trouble and didn't want to get involved in anything romantic.

Jin Haoyu also knew that the two were interested in each other but not in each other. As Chi Yi's friend, he always stood between the two and kept talking to Hu Rensheng.

Hu Rensheng smiled on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking that this Fellow Daoist Jin was really clueless, disturbing his and Miss Chi Yi's cultivation of feelings, and he couldn't even find an opportunity to curry favor.

The three of them spent the whole day wandering around Rongcheng, each with their own little thoughts.

The dazzling auction.

Hu Rensheng first picked up Chi Yi and Jin Haoyu, and then the group went to the auction together.

Just as they arrived at the entrance and were about to line up to go in, someone suddenly spoke up and stopped them.

"Hey, Hu Rensheng, why are you all alone today? Where's Chu He, who's always by your side?" A provocative voice drifted into the group.

The group turned around and saw a man gleaming with gold leading a group of henchmen in front of them.

Chi Yi and Jin Haoyu said it was really dazzling. The person was chubby and covered in sparkling gems from head to toe, mostly gold. It was a bit dazzling in the bright sunlight. He really looked like a nouveau riche.

Almost simultaneously, the people around him squinted uncomfortably, and after adjusting, they began whispering to each other.

However, the people present were all highly skilled and had amazing hearing, so they could hear clearly even when others spoke in hushed tones.

"Wow, what kind of taste does this person have! It's so tacky!"

"Don't talk nonsense. He's the youngest son of the Zhang family in Rongcheng. Be careful not to offend him and you'll regret it!"

"Ah, it's him. I won't say anything more. Let's go, let's go inside quickly."

"That's the Zhang family tyrant, we can't afford to mess with him, let's disperse."...

Before long, those who could leave the auction hall had left, and those who couldn't could only stay far away, for fear of harming innocent people.

Seeing that everyone around him had dispersed, Zhang Baoyu became even more smug and snorted, "They're smart enough to know what's good for them!"

He then swaggered over to Chi Yi and the others and said, "Hu Rensheng, why aren't you saying anything!"

Hu Rensheng frowned and said impatiently, "It's none of your business."

Zhang Baoyu carefully looked at the people opposite him, and when he saw Chi Yi, his eyes suddenly widened, and a lewd look instantly appeared in his eyes: "Oh, Hu Rensheng, where did you find this little beauty? Why don't you lend her to me to play with for a couple of days and then return her to me."

As soon as Zhang Baoyu finished speaking, Chi Yi and the others' faces instantly darkened, and their sharp gazes shot towards Zhang Baoyu.

Zhang Baoyu was startled by the gaze and felt a little uneasy, but as a local tyrant in Rongcheng who had bullied men and women for many years, he quickly regained his composure.

Although he himself is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he is protected by a guest elder who is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. What is there to be afraid of!

"Zhang Baoyu, don't push your luck!" Hu Rensheng glared angrily.

Zhang Baoyu, however, didn't take it to heart and laughed even more arrogantly.

At this moment, Chi Yi stepped forward and looked coldly at Zhang Baoyu.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Baoyu asked somewhat guiltily.

Chi Yi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

"He's just a spoiled brat who relies on his family's power."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Baoyu was immediately enraged and ashamed. "How dare you insult me?!" he shouted, gesturing for his attendants to step forward and teach Chi Yi a lesson.

However, Chi Yi was not afraid at all and easily dodged the attack by simply turning to the side.

Then, she flashed forward like a ghost towards Zhang Baoyu.

A flash of light appeared in her hand, and a thin, soft whip materialized there.

Before Zhang Baoyu could react, Chi Yi lashed him across the face with a whip.

Instantly, a clear bloodstain appeared on his face.

"Ahhh!" Zhang Baoyu cried out in pain.

His entourage, seeing this, all took a few steps back in fright.

Chi Yi cracked her whip, looking at Zhang Baoyu with icy eyes.

"Don't let me see you again."

After saying that, she pulled Jin Haoyu and Hu Rensheng into the auction venue.
