After hearing Bailing Wan'er's words, the sleepy-eyed Samuel immediately became energetic.
He had never thought that the auction would cause such a sensation.
The entire Royal Court was prepared to participate in the auction. If this was true, it would be troublesome.
"Holy Li is so attractive?" Samuel stared at Bailing Wan’er doubtfully. He had never known the value of Holy Li in Xuanyuan World. The purpose of this auction was to see how valuable Holy Li was. But the result was far beyond Samuel's imagination.
Bailing Wan’er looked at Samuel with doubts. He actually asked such a question, which made Bailing Wan'er wonder if he was a member of Xuanyuan World.
Because even an ordinary person had heard of Holy Li. There were very few people who had seen such legendary things, but its value was known by even three-year-old children.
"You truly don't know what kind of existence Holy Li is?" Bailing Wan’er asked.
"I've been cultivating in the mountains since I was a child. I've never been involved in the affairs of the world. Don't I know anything about these things?" Samuel said frankly. This was an excuse he had come up with a long time ago to prevent him from knowing too little about the Xuanyuan World and making others suspicious. Therefore, it was the best excuse to seal the mountain and cultivate.
Bailing Wan’er couldn't help rolling her
eyes and explained to Samuel, "Holy Li's birthplace is in the Dark Forest. Don't tell me you don't even know the Dark Forest?"
"I know. The Dark Forest is extremely dangerous. Only Superb Master can step into it. And this is also a passage to other countries." Samuel said.
"That's right; there are many powerful strange beasts in the Dark Forest. This is also the reason why Holy Li is hard to find. Furthermore, legend has it that the place where Holy Li is growing is guarded by strange beasts. This has increased the difficulty of obtaining Holy Li. One can naturally imagine how rare it is." Bailing Wan er continued to explain.
Samuel understood how ignorant he was when he auctioned off Holy Li. Such a rare item would definitely cause a commotion once it appeared. It was reasonable for the various factions to come and bid for it.
Moreover, according to what Bailing Wan'er said, once the matter of him being a Holy Li owner was found out, who knows how much trouble he would get into.
It was a pity that it was too late to regret it now. The fire had already started burning everywhere in the Royal Court. It was obviously impossible to put it out at the current stage.
"I'm sure the Emperor already knows about this matter. If he came personally, then I'm finished," Bailing Wan'er said with a face full of despair. There was no way the Emperor wouldn't know about such a huge commotion. Thus, Bailing Wan'er was very worried. She had yet to prepare herself to meet the Emperor.
"Don't worry. Even if he comes, I can guarantee your safety. As for the other families, I'm afraid they will bring much trouble." Samuel said with a worried face. He was not worried that the Emperor would come, because with the Emperor's attitude toward him, even if the Emperor came in person, he would not make things difficult for him.
However, those big families were different. They did not know Samuel. If they knew that he was the owner of Holy Li, trouble would come one after another. If he was asked how to get Holy Li, it would be difficult to explain.
Of course, there was also a good way to deal with it, which was to kill all of them. However, if he did so, Samuel would completely lose the capital to keep a low profile in the Royal Court.
This was not an optimistic development direction for Samuel.
After all, he still had a lot of things to do. He had failed to do anything about the invasion of the Xuanyuan World to the earth, the familiarity with the forbidden area, and the search for Jiang Yingying.
If he acted too high profile and everyone was familiar with him, then his every move in the future would be under the surveillance of others.
