Zhao Qin talked a lot to Li Huowang under the influence of alcohol, seemingly trying to dissuade him from becoming a bodyguard.

However, Li Huowang's attention was drawn to a term mentioned by Zhao Qin earlier.

"Zhao Boss, what is the Supervisory Bureau you just mentioned?"

Although Li Huowang had been here for several months, he had never heard of it before.

This was a good opportunity for him to learn more.

"The Supervisory Bureau is said to be a group of experts who are offered to the emperor. If there is any supernatural incident that cannot be solved by the local police and army, they will handle it."

Li Huowang was not surprised by this. Since the government could maintain stability, they must have dealt with these supernatural incidents.

He just didn't know if these people were specially trained within the palace or specially appointed from outside.

Seeing that Li Huowang didn't say anything, Zhao Qin continued, "But, to be honest, they are not always reliable."

"For example, four years ago, all the people in a town were slaughtered overnight for no reason."

"Tsk tsk, tens of thousands of people were gone in just one night."

As Zhao Qin spoke, he didn't notice that Li Huowang's fingers holding the wine glass had turned white.

Wang Chengxing also spoke up. "I've heard about this too. It was really tragic. The victims' bodies weren't even intact."

"How could they do such a thing? Aren't they human beings like us? They are worse than animals."

At this moment, Li Huowang saw Jiang Yingzi, with a ferocious expression, approaching him.

"See that? See how others talk about you? Who do you think you are to still be alive? Why don't you just die?"

Li Huowang's chest began to rise and fall.

No one else noticed, but Bai Lingmiao noticed Li Huowang's abnormality.

She quietly changed positions with Xiaoman and covered Li Huowang's trembling hands with her own. "Senior Li, are you okay?"

Li Huowang took a deep breath and smiled at Zhao Qin. "Zhao Boss, let's not talk about national affairs. It's not something we small people should be concerned about."

"Right, right, right! Let those big shots worry about it. Let's just drink and I'll toast to my dear friend Li here!"

"Drink, drink!" Li Huowang picked up the wine pot and drank it straight from the mouth.

In fact, Li Huowang couldn't drink, especially not strong liquor.

That night, he didn't know when he passed out.

But he felt that the feeling of being drunk was great. He didn't have to think about anything or worry about anything.

"Li Huowang... Li Huowang!"Upon hearing a noise, Li Huowang, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and met a pair of eyes filled with extreme hatred. It was Jiang Yingzi.

Suddenly waking up from his sleep, Li Huowang saw a girl covered in blood with broken hands and feet, which was terrifying.

However, Li Huowang was already used to it. He took a glance at Danyang Zi floating on the ceiling and sat up with his hands supporting the bed.

As he got out of bed wearing only his clothes, he immediately sat back down with a painful expression, holding his head.

"It seems I really can't drink alcohol..." Li Huowang felt the pain of a hangover for the first time, but it could also be due to his enhanced perception.

With a creak, the door was pushed open from outside, and Bai Lingmiao walked in carrying a copper basin.

Seeing Li Huowang sitting on the bed with a painful expression, she quickly walked over and placed the copper basin on the wooden rack.

The sound of water splashing followed, and after wringing out a towel, she walked over and held the back of Li Huowang's head with one hand, gently wiping his face with the other.

While the other was wiping his neck, Li Huowang looked at the face in front of him and asked, "Where are we?"

"We're still in the escort agency. Zhao Head told me that when you wake up, don't rush to leave. He has already sent someone to find the sword manual," Bai Lingmiao said.

After taking a glance at the two long swords placed next to his red Daoist robe, Li Huowang nodded in understanding.

Bai Lingmiao seemed to know what Li Huowang was thinking, and she walked over and placed the long sword in his hand.

This was the first time Li Huowang had carefully examined the sword after holding it.

The sword was 3 feet 2 inches long, half an inch wide, with a dark color tone all over. The black sword handle was decorated with a few inches of dark purple satin.

The handle was carved with a ferocious and strange beast, with its mouth wide open. When touched, it gave a feeling of being cut by its teeth.

Looking at it from the outside, this sword was very ordinary and did not look like a divine weapon at all.

After thinking about it, Li Huowang ultimately decided not to draw the sword.

Not to mention the noise it would make, just the feeling was different.

For some reason, this thing gave him an uneasy feeling, just like the "Dacheng Record."

"Although Master said that this sword poses no threat to me, I still think it's better to keep it sheathed," Li Huowang said.

"Li Senior Brother, can you still walk? If you can't, I'll bring breakfast to your room," Bai Lingmiao asked.

"No need, I just need to rest for a bit. Without Danyang Zi behind us, we can take our time," Li Huowang replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, a creepy three-part laughter came from the ceiling.

Li Huowang looked up and saw his master's three heads staring at him, their eyes filled with mockery.

"What are you laughing at?""Li... Senior Brother Li?" Bai Lingmiao looked at the empty ceiling and then at Li Huowang, feeling uneasy.

"It's nothing. Let's go down and eat." Li Huowang put his right hand on her shoulder and stumbled towards the outside of the house.

When he came out, he saw that the sky outside was already bright.

The entire escort station, both the front and back courtyards, had become lively.

Zhao Qinming had obviously instructed something, and everyone who met Li Huowang on the way bowed respectfully.

Li Huowang's gaze passed the wooden pillar on his right and looked towards the lively martial arts arena in the distance.

He saw Gouwa, Gao Zhijian, Chun Xiaoman, and Sun Baolu demonstrating something to some of the escorts.

"What are they doing?" Li Huowang couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Gouwa suggested that they should give some guidance to themselves, and then everyone else went over to join in the fun, and it ended up like this," Bai Lingmiao explained.

"Haha, they really know how to take advantage. Oh, by the way, go to the inn later and tell Master Lu, he can't see people, he might think we left him behind," Li Huowang said.

"Okay, I got it."

Li Huowang looked up at Danyang Zi and asked after some thought, "Is everything okay on the Immortal Clan's side?"

Bai Lingmiao's eyes flickered. "Is there something wrong, Senior Brother Li? Why do you ask?"

"If there's nothing wrong, that's good. If there is, remember to tell me. Remember, you're not Li Zhi. If there's really anything, I'll find a way to handle it."

"Okay, got it."

The surroundings quieted down, and the two of them enjoyed the rare peace as they slowly walked towards the kitchen.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

During this period, they had been rushing on the road, and it was rare to have such a leisurely moment.

Bai Lingmiao leaned lightly into Li Huowang's arms, feeling a sweet sensation in her heart. "If there's anything, don't hide it from me. Even if it's difficult, we can figure it out together. After all...you're the only one I have now."

"Mm..."
