Chapter 301: Spirit Stone Cave (1/2)

Alex could hear his staff member's voice from the room above. 'So that's where she went. To let them know what was wrong,' he thought.

”Hmm…” the young man said, ”oh, my bad.” After that, no more sound leaked from the room. But the spiritual sense was still on Alex and it didn't leave him a bit.

The man didn't bid a spirit stone more and most of the others were already too disheartened to continue bidding.

Yu Min saw that there was no more bid and asked, ”Does anyone have a bid higher than 2020 spirit stones?”

No one dared bid anymore.

”2020 spirit stones going once.”

”2020 spirit stones going twice.”

”2020 spirit stones going thrice. Sold,” Yu Min said as she hit the surface with her gavel.

”The armor has been sold to the guest on N4 for 2020 spirit stones,” she announced and proceeded to start preparing another item to sell.

Alex should have been incredibly happy to get his hands on the armor, but he couldn't right now. In fact, the emotion he was feeling right now could be in a way considered the exact opposite.

Fear

He was terrified out of his mind that he was being monitored by a person with a spiritual sense. The spiritual sense was hard to come by as barely anyone could get their hands on the Spirit Cleansing Lilies due to their difficulty in harvesting them.  That meant that…

'This man most likely has a saint realm cultivation,' Alex thought.

Ma Rong had told him that Saint Realm folks were available in the Crimson Empire and that they liked to hide, but Alex never thought that he would actually meet one.

Not only meet but get targeted by one. Alex had a perfectly calm face, in fact, he even had a small smile on his face, but on the inside, he was freaking out.

'What does he want? Is he after something I own? Did he notice my spiritual sense by some chance? Did he notice my talent and body? Is he after my body? Is he a pervert? Was he there in the coliseum when I made the 60% pill? Does he have good intentions or malicious ones? Why is he keeping his spirituals sense on me for so long?'

Hundreds of thoughts ran across Ning's head, but none he could answer.

The auction went along normally, and the people as well as the Saint Realm man bid on the different items. But Alex could not focus on any of it.

All of his focus was on not making a single wrong move that could tip off the man that he had spiritual sense and that he could sense him too.

The man already seemed interested in him, he didn't want to give any more reason.

After half an hour or so, Alex started to feel less nervous as he got used to the constant supervision. He finally started paying attention to the auction.
