Two minutes later, Hua Ling, led by Fu Xiong, arrived at the private room where Li Xuan was. Of course, the cage was still there.
"Young master, this Hua Ling is unruly. For safety's sake, please be cautious," Fu Xiong said to Li Xuan, cupping his hands.
Given the circumstances and Li Xuan having completed the transaction, Fu Xiong would naturally not offend Li Xuan any further because of the previous incident. His reminder was also a way to apologize for his past actions.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and then said, "Great shopkeeper, Miss Cai, please give me some time."
Fu Xiong and Cai Chaxiang exchanged glances and then nodded in unison. They then left the room with the maids.
As they left, Li Xuan willed the cage into the Town Prison. Sensing the situation, Bai had already removed the restrictions on Hua Ling. With Bai's help, Hua Ling had also fully recovered.
"Thank you." As Li Xuan entered the Town Prison, the recovered Hua Ling bowed to him.
Li Xuan patted Bai's head and smiled, "No need, we are all family. But now you have to go out with me, otherwise, those people might get suspicious."
Hua Ling nodded, then looked at Bai with some reluctance. After all, Bai was the progenitor of all spirits. To put it bluntly, Bai was equivalent to the king of spirits.
"Go, with big brother here, you will be fine," Bai comforted Hua Ling, sensing her nervousness.
Li Xuan smiled and with a thought, he brought Hua Ling back to the private room.
Soon, Li Xuan walked out of the private room with Hua Ling.
Seeing Li Xuan emerge, with the freed Hua Ling following behind him, Fu Xiong's pupils contracted slightly. This Hua Ling, despite being female, was known for its fierce temper. During its capture, many strong individuals had been lost. Even after being somewhat tamed, its ferocity was hard to conceal. Yet, in just a few minutes, it was so obedient to Li Xuan.
"Young master is truly not an ordinary person," Cai Chaxiang also looked at Hua Ling behind Li Xuan with surprise and said with a smile.
Li Xuan smiled and replied, "Miss Cai, may I inquire if I can see your master now?"
Cai Chaxiang smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Li Xuan nodded slightly, glancing at Fu Xiong, a thought struck him, "Great shopkeeper, I'd like to ask if there's any relationship between Star Radiance Auction House and Star Radiance Merchant Guild?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiong's expression changed drastically. He immediately looked at Li Xuan.
"Who are you, young master?" Fu Xiong took a deep breath, his gaze locking onto Li Xuan. Even Cai Chaxiang was now subtly locked by a faint aura.
Hua Ling, standing behind Li Xuan, felt her aura change, but Li Xuan gently stopped her.
"Great shopkeeper, let's talk inside," Li Xuan said. His guess was beginning to solidify; there was likely a connection between Star Radiance Auction House and Star Radiance Merchant Guild. With this thought, he looked at Fu Xiong and said, "Let's talk inside."
"Please, Miss Cai, have a cup of tea first," Fu Xiong said after a moment of silence, addressing a nearby maid. As he spoke, Fu Xiong followed Li Xuan inside.
"Great shopkeeper, you haven't answered my question yet." Li Xuan sat down in the private room, with Hua Ling standing behind him, looking at Fu Xiong.
"How did you know about the existence of Star Radiance Merchant Guild?" Fu Xiong asked Li Xuan, looking at him.
"I come from the Four-Dimensional Space," Li Xuan replied after some thought.
Fu Xiong's eyes widened instantly. He then waved his hand, casting a barrier around the room.
"Young master, your surname is Li?" After completing his actions, Fu Xiong looked at Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan looked at Fu Xiong with some surprise and then nodded, "My name is Li Xuan."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiong's eyes gleamed with excitement. He then bowed deeply, "Your subordinate, Fu Xiong, pays respects to the young master!"
Li Xuan couldn't help but let out a wry smile. Fu Xiong's actions undoubtedly confirmed that Star Radiance Auction House was indeed his parents' enterprise.
"Where are they now?" Li Xuan asked.
Fu Xiong stood up and replied, "The Family Head and the Mistress are currently in the Central Domain. Shall I inform them?"
Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Not yet. Once I've sorted things out here, I'll head to the Central Domain."
"That, young master..." Fu Xiong hesitated. Under Li Xuan's gaze, he finally spoke, "It will be very difficult for the young master to enter the Central Domain."
"Why?" Li Xuan asked, slightly frowning.
Fu Xiong gave a bitter smile, "Reporting to the young master, the Central Domain is very mysterious. It can be said that people from our Four Domains cannot enter it. Even the Family Head and the Mistress, it is said, had to join forces with the four domain lords to successfully enter."
"Is it that difficult?" Li Xuan was taken aback. "Then, what did you mean by informing them just now?"
Fu Xiong replied, "Reporting to the young master, although it is difficult to enter the Central Domain, ever since the Family Head and the Mistress entered, a connection has been established between the Central Domain and our Four Domains. Many major decisions for the auction house are made by the Family Head and then sent down."
"I see," Li Xuan nodded in understanding, then stood up and said, "My identity is to remain secret for now. What is the strength of the Cai family in this Pian Guan City?"
"The Zhao, Qi, Cai, and Wang families are the four top powers in Pian Guan City," Fu Xiong replied.
"I understand," Li Xuan nodded. "And what is our auction house's status in this city?"
"We can contend with any of the four major families," Fu Xiong said confidently.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Li Xuan's eyes. He hadn't expected his parents' development over the years to be so formidable. Nodding, Li Xuan then walked towards the door.
"Young master, are you going to the Cai family?" Fu Xiong asked as he saw him move.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, "Before, it was thanks to Miss Cai that I was able to enter this auction house. And you just saw that Miss Cai lent me five hundred million high-grade spirit stones. Furthermore, the Cai family has a powerful expert. I must pay them a visit."
Fu Xiong then said, "Young master, perhaps I should accompany you?"
Li Xuan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Great shopkeeper, if you accompany me, won't my identity be suspected by them? There's no need. I'll go alone. Also, Hua Ling will stay here for now."
"Yes!" Fu Xiong nodded in response.
Li Xuan thought for a moment, then with a thought, he took out the token Luo Xuan had given him and handed it to Hua Ling. "Stay here for now. This is my token. If there's any trouble, you can find the great shopkeeper."
"Okay," Hua Ling nodded. Hua Ling had witnessed the relationship between Li Xuan and Bai firsthand. She naturally accepted Li Xuan's words.
"Let's go," Li Xuan said, glancing at Fu Xiong, then pushed open the door and walked out.
Fu Xiong looked at the token in Hua Ling's hand, and his certainty about Li Xuan's identity was solidified. If he had only believed six or seven parts before, now he believed it completely. This was because Fu Xiong had seen that token once before. At that time, it had been hanging from the Family Head's waist.
