"Alright, this Wenhua Pill is yours now, take good care of it!"
"What about the flute I had before?" Li Rui asked repeatedly, then took out his only one thousand Wind Currency.
The woman smiled lightly, took it out, and handed it to Li Rui.
Just as Li Rui was about to leave, he was blocked by her. The group of people around him had no idea what was going on; they had taken things without a second thought. He never expected that such a stunning woman would take the initiative to strike up a conversation and even extend her hands.
Since she was being so forward, Li Rui had no choice but to extend his hands in response.
"I'm Rui Xi, can we be friends?"
Upon hearing this, Li Rui felt a bit embarrassed but still nodded.
"Are you not going to wait until the Auction ends before leaving? I would like to invite you for a cup of tea!"
As she was about to leave, he couldn't help but hear her last words.
Li Rui shook his head and hurriedly left.
The people around him were astonished; their eyes were indeed wide open. It was hard to believe that Li Rui would turn down such an opportunity. They truly couldn't understand what he was thinking.
Moreover, Rui Xi personally saw Li Rui off, handing over the hosting duties of the auction to someone else, completely disregarding the final item.
Li Rui himself didn't know what charm he possessed, but he understood that this woman was not someone he could get involved with; it would be like playing with fire.
"Interesting fellow, it seems I need to keep a close eye on you." Rui Xi watched Li Rui leave, smiling yet hesitant, and couldn't help but murmur.
"Phoenix!"
"Master? What is it?"
"Keep a close watch on that man in front, make sure he doesn't leave here, and bring him safely to my room. If even a single hair is missing, you'll be held responsible."
This...
Even Phoenix, who was being addressed, didn't understand what Rui Xi's instructions meant. Women! When they go crazy, they don't even know who they are.
Phoenix was equally frustrated; after all, he was working under someone else's orders.
After leaving the auction house, Li Rui continuously surveyed his surroundings. He had to move; staying in this unfamiliar place for too long was not an option.
Moreover, the two items he possessed were quite valuable. From the moment he stepped out, he had already shaken off several tails! He couldn't afford to...
"Hahaha!" Suddenly, a voice made Li Rui furrow his brows.
That Mad Old Man always appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
"You can go back! Do you really want to seek death by coveting my disciple?" the Mad Old Man murmured, his tone filled with an overwhelming authority.
"You found me? This is a secret technique of our family."
"If you want to know, go back and ask the old man at home who Danxiu's junior brother is."
Li Rui shook his head repeatedly, not expecting this guy to start showing off again. Can't he just be humble? He truly couldn't understand what this person was thinking.
As the figure left, the crazy old man gradually appeared in front of Li Rui, looking calmly at the horizontal flute held in Li Rui's right hand.
He wanted to pick it up, but little did they know that a powerful force suddenly pushed him back.
Li Rui stood there, completely baffled. What does this mean? Why did it suddenly change like this? He couldn't even feel the power he had unleashed.
It felt somewhat theatrical, and with the bloodstains at the corner of the crazy old man's mouth, there was no way to guess much more.
"Are you okay? What just happened?" Li Rui hurried over to help the crazy old man up and asked.
Seeing this situation, the crazy old man shook his head repeatedly, unsure of what was happening. A slight sense of foreboding arose in his heart, seemingly coming from the flute.
He only remembered touching it briefly; he hadn't done anything else! Suddenly causing such a disturbance... Moreover, how could Li Rui hold it without any issues? He truly couldn't make sense of it.
In the next moment, the crazy old man suddenly thought of something and cast a covetous glance at the flute.
"When you were at the auction earlier, did you notice if the person holding that flute had any decorations on them?"
Li Rui seemed to have not noticed just now, and it was Rui Xi who brought it out, so there shouldn't be any issues! The latter vaguely remembered that she had a veil in her hand.
Could it be that a veil is causing all this trouble? Is it really such a coincidence? Li Rui couldn't help but frown; no wonder she wanted to find him.
Moreover, the person who was following him just now might have been sent by Rui Xi. What exactly do they want to know? And since the item is already in Li Rui's hands, it seems that he is about to get into big trouble soon.
"You don't need to worry. With me and Dan Xiu here, nothing will happen. Just take care of yourself, and as long as you don't provoke anything, there shouldn't be any issues."
Li Rui smiled wryly; he hadn't provoked anything. It seemed like "they" were the ones who came looking for him.
Li Rui felt quite helpless! What else could he do? He really couldn't understand how this situation even arose.
"Master, I've been discovered."
"What? No way. Who is it?"
"Dan Xiu's junior apprentice."
Rui Xi couldn't help but frown, feeling a strange sense of curiosity. Who is Dan Xiu's junior apprentice?
At that moment, Rui Xi's door was pushed open by an old man with white hair. The crazy old man would definitely recognize him; he was Dan Xiu's senior brother.
"Grandpa, why haven't I heard that Xi Zhi has a junior apprentice?"
The White-Haired Old Man's expression suddenly stiffened for a moment upon hearing this, but then he relaxed with a smile, though it was unclear what he was smiling about.
He then urged Rui Xi to explain the whole situation.
When he heard that the Dizi had reached Li Rui's hands, his brows furrowed tightly. How could someone catch this Dizi with empty hands? What on earth was going on?
"I need to meet him. You don't have to worry about him anymore; I'll handle it!"
Even Rui Xi was seeing the White-Haired Old Man take action for the first time. It seemed that this incident had caught his high-level attention.
However, Li Rui was completely unaware of any of this.
The time was around two in the morning, yet Li Rui felt no fatigue at all. He had a vague sense of an ominous premonition, and he had indeed done a lot today; his eyelids were almost drooping.
With a "whoosh," Li Rui raised his spirits to one hundred and twenty percent, not even daring to breathe.
