The sunlight shines on the auction house building, as if covering this magnificent building with a layer of golden gauze.
Hu Yi, dressed in bright clothes, skipped towards the top floor of the auction house like a happy little bird.
Her light steps left a string of lively notes in the long corridor. The narrow passage was hung on both sides with precious works of art and rare treasures, but at this moment none of these could attract her attention.
Finally, she came to a closed door, stopped and took a deep breath.
Hu Yi reached out his hand, knocked lightly on the door, and then called softly, "Master."
There was a hint of awe in his voice.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was silence all around, only her own breathing was clearly audible.
Just when she thought there would be no response, a low and magnetic voice came from the room, like the sound of nature, but with an irresistible majesty: "Well, come in."
Hearing this word, Hu Yi felt relieved and a happy smile appeared on his face.
She pushed the door open carefully, and the door hinges creaked slightly.
After entering the room, a faint and powerful spiritual energy aura hits you in the face, making you feel peaceful and calm.
The interior of the house is simply and elegantly decorated, with a huge desk placed in the center, surrounded by several rows of bookshelves filled with various ancient books and rare treasures.
At this moment, the man sitting behind the desk was concentrating on flipping through the book in his hand. His figure looked particularly tall and slender in the sunlight.
Hu Yi stood quietly by, not daring to disturb his master's thoughts.
After a long while, the man slowly raised his head, and his eyes, which were as deep as a pool and as bright as stars, looked at Hu Yi. But what was strange was that there was not even a trace of emotional fluctuation in his eyes when he looked at Hu Yi.
"What's the matter?" The man's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate one's soul.
"Master, guess who I met today?!" Hu Yi couldn't hide his excitement, and looked at the god-like man in front of him with anticipation.
However, An Zeyan didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he hadn't heard what Hu Yi said at all, and was still concentrating on reading the book in his hand.
Hu Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva, muttering to himself: "It's over, it's over, the master seems a little unhappy..."
She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, fearing that she might say something wrong and displease her master.
But then I thought, since I've already started talking, I might as well go ahead and continue.
So she quickly continued, "I saw Miss Xiaoxi today!"
When he heard the words "Miss Xiaoxi", An Zeyan's originally calm eyes trembled slightly, but returned to normal in just a moment, so fast that it was almost imperceptible.
"Oh?" An Zeyan finally put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Hu Yi with a smile.
Seeing this, Hu Yi immediately perked up and described with great joy: "Master, you don't know, this little girl Xiaoxi is much more beautiful than when we first met her in the village below! Now she is plump and fair, just like a delicate porcelain doll, so adorable! Hahahahaha..."
At the end of his speech, Hu Yiqing couldn't help laughing out loud.
It’s a pity that Hu Yi appeared in the lower world in the form of a beast at that time. If he rashly approached Guan Muxi and got close to her, he might scare this simple and kind girl.
Thinking of this, Hu Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
That's right! The mysterious boss behind the auction house, An Zeyan, who controlled the businesses of the upper, middle, and lower realms, was actually a mythical beast from ancient times, a member of the nine-tailed fox clan.
And An Zeyan himself is the young master of this generation.
Under his leadership, in just a hundred years, the Nine-Tailed Clan had firmly established its roots in the human world and possessed a very high status and influence.
However, there are always unexpected events.
Just a few months ago, a carefully planned rebellion broke out within their tribe.
Faced with such a situation, An Zeyan could not accept that his own people would raise the knife against him.
He was caught off guard for a moment and unfortunately fell into a trap carefully designed by the traitor.
Seriously injured, he could only rely on his loyal guard Hu Yi to escape to the underworld with difficulty in search of a chance of survival.
Fortunately, in the underworld, they met Guan Muxi.
At that time, Guan Muxi was carrying a large bamboo basket and going up the mountain to collect herbs. When he saw them, although he was full of fear in his heart, he still plucked up the courage to walk forward.
Recalling that scene, the corners of An Zeyan's mouth involuntarily rose, revealing a faint smile.
Hu Yi was ecstatic when he saw his master smile.
That's what she said! When Miss Xiaoxi is mentioned, the master is definitely happy.
"I've inquired about it. Miss Xiaoxi placed first in the Lower Realm Martial Arts Assessment. However, on the day of the Middle Realm selection, she didn't go to the large Beastmaster Sect. Instead, she went to the nearly bankrupt Tianyi Sect. They came to Youlan City today to attend tomorrow's auction. I think Miss Xiaoxi is preparing to spend a few days in the secret realm."
"But the Tianyi Sect isn't as dire as the rumors say. The servant who checked the funds today said there are at least 50 million high-grade spirit stones in the Tianyi Sect's space ring!"
The boy didn't have time to see the other miscellaneous things before they were blown away.
"Miss Xiaoxi is so lucky!"
"Tianyi Sect?" An Zeyan murmured.
He remembered that Guan Muxi had a talent for taming beasts and could also make pills.
Although Tianyi Sect looks down and out on the surface, it actually has a profound foundation and is a good sect.
"At tomorrow's auction, bring in more things she might need."
Hu Yi was puzzled. Why didn't the master just give it to him directly? Why did he have to add more things?
Although Hu Yi has high martial arts skills, he is relatively slow in emotions and strategy.
"What else?" An Zeyan looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly. His tone was as calm as water, but it contained an unquestionable majesty.
Hu Yi was so frightened that he trembled all over and said quickly, "Ah, no... no more, no more. I will go pick out what Miss Xiaoxi needs!"
Before she finished her words, she had already slipped out of the room as quickly as the wind, as if she was afraid that staying for another second would bring disaster.
Seeing this, An Zeyan shook his head slightly, then waved his sleeves gently.
There was a flash of light, and several huge screens appeared out of thin air in front of him, clearly displaying real-time images of the auction site from all angles.
These images are so realistic that it makes people feel as if they are actually at the auction.
An Zeyan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He quickly scanned every screen and soon locked onto the figure in one of the pictures - it was Guan Muxi.
