Chapter 19 The Auction Venue

"I truly didn't expect it, you were hiding this deeply." Wang Xinyan looked at Ye Bufan. "Ever since you appeared, my sixth sense has been useless."

"It's fine, I can even help you amplify your sixth sense." Ye Bufan said.

"Really?" Wang Xinyan's eyes lit up. "Then wouldn't I become a prophet, able to foresee good and bad things?"

Ye Bufan rolled his eyes and said, "It's just amplifying your senses. You're not at the level of prophecy yet, and you might not even reach that stage."

There are many types of Innate Dao Bodies. Wang Xinyan's type belongs to the spiritual category. As long as she is given spiritual cultivation techniques and practices them, her sixth sense can be amplified. If Wang Xinyan cultivates to a certain realm, she will indeed possess a certain degree of foresight.

"Teach me quickly! Teach me quickly!" Wang Xinyan began to act spoiled towards Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan looked at the street, noticing the strange glances from others and Zhu Zizhen trying to stifle his laughter. He coughed twice and said, "Can we be a bit more mindful of our image?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Wang Xinyan said. "If you teach me, I won't pester you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan said again, "It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I'll teach you."

"Then it's a deal!"

Ye Bufan was surprised that Wang Xinyan agreed so readily, his eyes widening with a sense of foreboding.

"We live next door to each other anyway. I'll pester you every day until you teach me." Wang Xinyan revealed a sly smile.

"I can simply refuse visitors and not open the door," Ye Bufan retorted.

"It's fine, I can ask Chuchu for help." Wang Xinyan acted as if she had already won.

"Alright, alright, you two 'ancestors', let's go into the venue and have a look. The auction will start in a while, let's wander around first." Zhu Zizhen, seeing that the two of them were going back and forth endlessly, couldn't help but remind them.

"Let's go, let's take a look." Ye Bufan nodded.

The three of them walked to the middle section of Jinfang Golden Street, which was the entrance to the auction. Zhu Zizhen explained that entering the auction required passing through two rounds of security checks, one under the archway in front of them, and another after entering the mansion.

Upon entering the main gate, there was a long alley about two hundred meters long, with high walls on both sides. These were all mansions preserved from recent times. Some doors were tightly shut with signs indicating "No Entry for Tourists," while others were under repair.

"Are there still people living in Jinfang?" Ye Bufan asked.

"Yes," Zhu Zizhen replied. "The people living here are all influential figures from the older generation in Jinhe. I heard that one of the houses is occupied by a Martial Sovereign, and the others are all high-level martial artists." Zhu Zizhen explained to Ye Bufan, "But no one has ever seen them, so the truth of this remains to be verified."

Ye Bufan nodded and walked through the alley, simultaneously sensing the presence of martial artists within these residences.

At the same time, in one of the old mansions.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the living room, drinking tea with a friend. Suddenly, he felt a powerful oppressive aura sweeping over him, probing him.

Just as he was about to resist, the middle-aged man realized he had no power to fight back against this aura and could only allow the other party to investigate.

"What a terrifying aura." His friend next to him broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a lingering fear.

"You felt it too?" the middle-aged man asked his friend.

"With such an aura, one's strength would need to be at least a Great Martial Sovereign, wouldn't it?" his friend said.

"Could it be that a Great Martial Sovereign has graced Jinhe with their presence? And we weren't even aware of it." As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out his phone and began contacting friends from various circles to see if there was any news of a Great Martial Sovereign visiting Jinhe.

Ye Bufan, Zhu Zizhen, and Wang Xinyan walked deeper into the alley, finally arriving at the final venue for the auction.

After another security check, they entered the large mansion, which featured a unique Jiangnan garden landscape.

The mansion was very large. As Ye Bufan and the other two walked in, they immediately attracted the attention of some people.

"Elder Zhu." Someone recognized Zhu Zizhen and came forward to greet him.

Meanwhile, a young man in a dark blue suit, holding a glass of champagne, stared at Ye Bufan from a distance, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong? Why did your whole demeanor change as soon as Divine Doctor Zhu Zizhen appeared?" another man holding champagne looked at Ye Bufan and Zhu Zizhen.

"The one next to Zhu Zizhen is Ye Bufan," the man said coldly.

The man's name was Yang Xiuwen. He was the elder brother of Yang Fei and had been helping his father, Yang Xuancheng, manage the family business for years. Upon learning about Yang Fei's incident, he harbored deep resentment towards Ye Bufan. He never expected to encounter Ye Bufan here.

"So that person is the culprit who caused your younger brother to be severely injured and brought such disgrace to the Yang family?" The man couldn't help but glance at Ye Bufan again.

This man speaking was Xu Letian, the young master of the Xu family, ranked eighth in Jinhe City.

"Young Master Yang, how about I help you vent your anger? Teach that Ye Bufan a lesson." Xu Letian said with a wicked grin.

Yang Xiuwen nodded. Upon receiving Yang Xiuwen's assent, Xu Letian, leading his entourage, walked forward.

Zhu Zizhen led Ye Bufan and Wang Xinyan around the mansion, taking a distant look at the auction venue in the backyard.

As the three of them turned a corner, a figure suddenly appeared and collided with Ye Bufan.

"Damn it! Who's so blind, didn't you see this young master?"

Xu Letian's voice rang out. When he looked up, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Yo yo yo, I was wondering who was so blind, turns out it's you." Xu Letian laughed as he looked at Ye Bufan.

"Do we know each other?" Ye Bufan asked, confused.

Wang Xinyan subtly leaned into Ye Bufan's ear and whispered, "This is Xu Letian. His family is the Xu family, the last among Jinhe's eight great families. The Xu family are lapdogs of the Yang family. This is a well-known fact among the common folk."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan finally understood that the person before him had malicious intentions.

"Of course, you wouldn't know me, but I know you." Xu Letian's voice was deliberately loud. "Aren't you just a shameless gigolo who lives off women?"

Inside the mansion, some people noticed the commotion around Xu Letian and began to gather.

"Xu Letian, shut your dog mouth." Wang Xinyan stepped forward and said.

"Oh ho, it seems I was right. After clinging to the Chu family's high position, you're now mixing with Miss Wang's family. You've really gotten addicted to living off women," Xu Letian taunted.

"You..." Wang Xinyan pointed a finger at Xu Letian. Zhu Zizhen also wanted to speak, but Ye Bufan stopped them.

"It's fine, say whatever else you want to say. I'm listening." Ye Bufan spoke to Xu Letian.

Xu Letian looked at Ye Bufan, surprised that the latter wasn't falling for his bait, and felt a bit uncertain.

"I just feel it's a shame for the Liu family to have encountered a scheming little person like you," Xu Letian said.
