In the suppression prison, Li Xuan brought Hua Ling to see Xiao Bai. Regarding Hua Ling's fate, Li Xuan decided to let Xiao Bai make the decision.
After listening to Li Xuan, Xiao Bai immediately said, "She cannot stay here."
Hua Ling wanted to speak but stopped, ultimately remaining silent.
Li Xuan looked at Xiao Bai in confusion and asked, "Why is that?"
Li Xuan had initially expected Xiao Bai to consider it or even consult Hua Ling's feelings, but Xiao Bai's decisive conclusion surprised him greatly.
Xiao Bai explained, "Big Brother, you don't know this, but all spirits need to survive in a specific environment. Although there is spiritual energy here, it lacks the order and laws of heaven and earth. After a long time, she will die."
Li Xuan finally understood why Xiao Bai was so firm in her decision. As the primordial spirit of heaven and earth, Xiao Bai naturally did not wish to see any spirit perish before her eyes.
"Xiao Bai, if she leaves, what if she encounters bad people again?" Li Xuan continued thoughtfully.
Xiao Bai looked at Hua Ling and said, "You should return to the Spirit Realm."
"Yes." Hua Ling glanced at Li Xuan hesitantly but finally agreed. She had to obey the words of the primordial spirit of heaven and earth.
"The Spirit Realm?" Li Xuan looked at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai explained, "Big Brother, it's the world of all spirits. Various kinds of spirits live there. If she returns to the Spirit Realm, her safety will be guaranteed."
Li Xuan nodded in understanding and then said to Hua Ling, "Since Xiao Bai said so, you should return to the Spirit Realm. You were lucky to have met me this time; otherwise, your fate would have been miserable. In the future, without great strength, do not wander around carelessly."
"Thank you." Hua Ling nodded, then gritted her teeth and placed a hand on Li Xuan's forehead.
*Humph.*
A buzzing sound filled the air, and Li Xuan instantly felt as if his soul had been sublimated. A moment later, Li Xuan recovered and looked at Hua Ling with surprise.
"Big Brother, this is a spirit's blessing. You can also consider it a spirit's recognition. From now on, if you meet other spirits, they will regard you as one of their own," Xiao Bai explained immediately.
Li Xuan gave a wry smile and then said to Hua Ling, "Thank you."
Xiao Bai seemed very pleased. She pointed a finger, and a strand of primordial purple qi shot into Hua Ling's body.
"Go." As soon as Xiao Bai finished speaking, a portal materialized before Hua Ling.
Hua Ling bowed to Xiao Bai and Li Xuan, then her body gradually turned into petals and floated into the portal.
Li Xuan looked at Xiao Bai with shock but soon came to his senses, recalling Xiao Bai's ability to disregard all restrictions and barriers.
"Big Brother, I want to eat roast meat," Xiao Bai said expectantly, tilting her head as Hua Ling departed.
"Okay." Li Xuan smiled and nodded, then started a fire on the spot.
An hour later, Li Xuan emerged from the suppression prison.
"Young Master, here are the items you requested." As Li Xuan opened the door, Fu Xiong bowed to him and handed him a spatial ring.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Xuan nodded slightly and took the spatial ring from Fu Xiong.
"Has the cooperation with the Cai family been finalized?" Li Xuan glanced at the ring and then looked at Wang Sheng Nuo beside him.
Wang Sheng Nuo nodded and replied, "Yes, Young Master, it has been finalized."
Li Xuan nodded and said, "My identity is to be kept secret for now. Please also inform the Cai family."
"Yes, Young Master, it has already been arranged," Wang Sheng Nuo said.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and then asked Fu Xiong, "Are there any teleportation arrays near the Ice Palace in the auction houses?"
Fu Xiong nodded, "There are teleportation arrays in all the auction houses, which facilitates the transport of goods and messages. The city near the Ice Palace is called Bingxue City. Although there isn't a direct teleportation array to Bingxue City, one can transfer there."
"That will do," Li Xuan agreed.
"Does the Young Master intend to go to the Ice Palace?" Fu Xiong asked.
Li Xuan nodded, "I have a sister named Li Yao at the Ice Palace, and I want to see her. After visiting Yao'er, I will assess the situation and see if I can find a way to enter the Central Region."
"This..." Fu Xiong and Wang Sheng Nuo exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.
Li Xuan smiled, "Don't worry, I won't act rashly without sufficient confidence."
Fu Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After the Young Master visits your sister, you can go to the main branch. The main branch is only a few hundred miles from the Central Region. I have marked it on the map for you."
"Good." Li Xuan nodded, quite pleased with Fu Xiong's arrangements.
"Then I will go and arrange the teleportation array," Fu Xiong said.
Li Xuan nodded, and Fu Xiong, along with Wang Sheng Nuo, turned to leave.
"Head Manager, will the Young Master return after leaving?" On their way, Wang Sheng Nuo finally asked, gritting his teeth.
Fu Xiong was taken aback and then smiled wryly, "This is, after all, just a remote area. The Young Master's world is not something that can be contained within this humble border town. I believe these are our last days together with the Young Master."
Wang Sheng Nuo sighed helplessly, "When the Young Master takes over the Star Radiance Auction House in the future, I fear he might forget us."
Fu Xiong smiled, "Sheng Nuo, as subordinates, we should do our duty. I believe, given the Young Master's character, he is not that kind of person. Now, let's go prepare the teleportation array."
Within ten minutes, the teleportation array was ready. Li Xuan looked at it and then asked Fu Xiong and Wang Sheng Nuo, "Where does this teleport to?"
"Reporting to the Young Master, the teleportation arrays in the auction houses cannot transmit over long distances. This teleportation array was built to handle major threats to the auction house. Through this teleportation array, the Young Master can reach Haina City."
Fu Xiong paused and continued, "From Haina City, you can then use the teleportation array to quickly reach Bingxue City."
"Thank you for your trouble," Li Xuan nodded.
"It is our duty as subordinates," Fu Xiong replied with a bow.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Head Manager, I am very satisfied with the work of you and the Second Manager. When I finish visiting Yao'er and go to the main branch, you two should come along as well."
After speaking, Li Xuan moved and instantly entered the teleportation array.
Before Fu Xiong and Wang Sheng Nuo could react, Li Xuan's figure had completely vanished.
"Head Manager, the Young Master... he said he wants us to go to the main branch?!" Wang Sheng Nuo asked excitedly, swallowing hard.
Fu Xiong was also greatly moved and bowed again towards the teleportation array.
"Sheng Nuo, you see? I told you the Young Master wouldn't be someone who forgets his subordinates."
