Jin Hu’s voice was rather harsh.

However, Xiao Yi couldn’t be bothered to respond.

The character of Jin Hu, along with his foul mouth, was something Xiao Yi had already witnessed during his time at the Heavenly Hidden Academy. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Such a person, Xiao Yi didn’t care to engage with.

He was only slightly surprised to encounter him here.

But that was all.

With an indifferent expression, Xiao Yi turned and walked away.

Unexpectedly, Jin Hu suddenly stepped sideways, blocking his path.

"What? Embarrassed and eager to leave?"

This was right outside the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion’s main gate, and Ten Thousand Gold City was a bustling place, full of people passing by.

Jin Hu’s deliberately loud voice immediately drew the attention of the nearby martial artists, who stopped and wore expressions of interest.

Xiao Yi frowned.

Jin Hu sneered and raised his voice, "What, are you angry now?"

"You have to understand, you, this discard of the Heavenly Hidden Academy, discard of the Black Cloud Academy, getting chased around like a stray dog, it’s nothing new."

"Inside the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, with so many distinguished guests, a stray dog like you thinks he can enter?"

As soon as Jin Hu finished speaking.

The surrounding martial artists immediately buzzed.

"Discard of the Heavenly Hidden Academy, discard of the Black Cloud Academy?"

"Expelled from two martial arts academies in a row, could this be the infamous Xiao Yi?"

At that moment, the Ten Thousand Gold auction was about to start; naturally, those coming to Ten Thousand Gold City were martial artists from various major forces.

And these martial artists naturally knew of some of the more famous events that had occurred in recent months.

After all, when Xiao Yi left the Heavenly Hidden Academy, many martial artists from the Hundred Schools witnessed it.

"Expelled twice, how bad must his character be?"

"How does such a person still have the face to show up here?"

"Could it be that he was just kicked out by the guards of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion?"

"Indeed, people need face, trees need bark, the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion values reputation most, they probably don’t want to host such a little thief."

"..."

The piercing words echoed around.

Many disdainful looks focused on Xiao Yi.

Just then, a middle-aged man in the crowd laughed heartily.

"Not necessarily."

"This kid, with such a bad reputation, there are two possibilities."

"Either he’s truly awful to the extreme, with lousy character and talents."

"Or he’s extremely outstanding, provoking jealousy."

"I tend to lean towards the latter, hahahaha."

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, glancing at the middle-aged man, not recognizing him.

But still couldn’t be bothered to respond.

"Move aside." Xiao Yi glanced at Jin Hu indifferently.

"You should know the consequences of blocking my way."

"What?" Jin Hu remained fearless, "Dare you threaten me in Ten Thousand Gold City?"

A flicker of fear did pass through Jin Hu’s eyes at first, but almost instantly, it turned into overbearing confidence and fearlessness.

Xiao Yi noticed these changes in his expression.

However, Xiao Yi wasn’t interested in digging into these reasons.

"Looks like you’re not moving."

"The lesson from that last sword wasn’t enough for you."

Xiao Yi spoke indifferently, as sword qi gathered at his fingertips.

"Oh, thinking of committing violence in public?" Jin Hu sneered, stepping back.

Behind him, two guards blocked their path, "Kid, dare to harm Young Master Jin Hu in Ten Thousand Gold City? You must be tired of living."

At the same time, the guards who were originally at the main gate of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion also came quickly, coldly staring at Xiao Yi.

"This young master, do you really think our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion has no people?"

Xiao Yi glanced at these two guards, his face showing realization.

It seemed likely that Jin Hu belonged to the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion.

The family behind the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion was indeed the Jin Family.

And for Jin Hu to bear the surname Jin made sense.

No wonder he encountered him here.

"If you think I’m bullying your Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, then move aside." Xiao Yi shook his head indifferently.

On his indifferent face, those cold eyes indicated that his temper wasn’t great.

"Made a threat to me, and then just walk away?" Jin Hu sneered, looking at Xiao Yi with mocking eyes.

"I am a member of the Jin Family, yet you dare to threaten me in front of the main gate of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion."

"One can only imagine how arrogant you usually are."

The more Jin Hu spoke, the more imposing his stance became.

"You little thief, I don’t believe you would just suddenly appear here for no reason."

"The Ten Thousand Gold auction is about to start, and guests from major forces are gathering."

"If a little thief like you suddenly causes trouble, wouldn’t that be a disaster?"

"Guards, seize this boy first, and release him after the Ten Thousand Gold auction ends."

"Yes." Several guards from the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion responded, coldly looking at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi stood indifferently, the sword qi at his fingertips remaining unwavering.

The guards from the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion clearly felt the deadly aura of the sword qi, hesitating immediately.

Instead, Jin Hu showed no fear, shouting, "Xiao Yi, our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion harbors no ill will, just being cautious."

"If you have no ill intention, there’s no need to resist."

"If you obediently let our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion capture you, I promise you won’t suffer a bit these days."

"But if you insist on resisting, it proves your malicious intent, and don’t blame our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion for being ruthless."

Jin Hu’s voice spread throughout, even as a Golden Robed Guard squad rushed out from the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion headquarters.

This was the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion after all.

The Golden Robed Guards stationed here were by no means ordinary.

This elite guard, all above the Peak of Saint King Realm, even had several Saint Emperor Realm experts.

"Captain Jin Yao, you came just in time." Jin Hu’s face lit up with joy.

"Who dares to create chaos outside my Ten Thousand Gold Mansion?" the leading Golden Robed Guard said with a cold shout.

"It’s this little thief." Jin Hu looked at Xiao Yi.

"Hmm?" Jin Yao’s cold gaze fell on Xiao Yi.

"Take him down."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don’t want trouble, yet you insist on provoking me."

Xiao Yi’s tone was very cold.

Those icy eyes seemed to regard the surrounding martial artists as if they were clowns.

The sword qi at his fingertips was instantly released.

The fierce sword qi was extremely sharp and incredibly swift.

"So fast, this is bad." Jin Yao’s face changed, he struck with a palm.

In his palm, a golden light surged.

The golden light instantly blocked the sword qi.

Jin Yao, being a strong Saint Emperor Realm, could clearly see the power of the sword qi.

If this sword qi hit an ordinary Golden Robed Guard, no one could withstand it.

Naturally, he acted instantly.

"Hmph, couldn’t resist taking action?" Jin Hu sneered.

He didn’t act himself, but looked at Xiao Yi as if looking at a dead man.

"Striking at the headquarters of my Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, Xiao Yi, how do you plan to save your life this time?" Jin Hu sneered inwardly.

Remembering the humiliation inflicted by a sword at the Five Spirits Peak of the Heavenly Hidden Academy that day, anger surged in him.

Today, this was his Jin Family’s territory, a place where the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion’s elite gather.

How could they allow a little brat to cause chaos?

However, at that moment, the golden light in the air suddenly dissipated under the sword qi.

The sword qi struck heavily on Jin Yao’s palm.

"Pfft." Jin Yao spat a mouthful of blood, being blasted back more than ten meters.

"Overestimating your abilities." Xiao Yi gave a cold glance, then left.
