"Hahaha!!" Red's laughter echoed constantly around Li Huowang. "Xinsu!! Li Huowang, hahaha!!"

Li Huowang sat there in shock, holding a cup in his hand, looking at the half corpse in Tuoba Danqing's hand beside him, as well as the brain of the dead person in front of him, and the internal organs still attached.

After a long pause, Li Huowang's eyes gradually widened, and a shocked expression gradually appeared on his face. "So this is... Xinsu..."

At this moment, his fist under the table clenched tightly, but he didn't show anything on his face.

Tuoba Danqing, who was drunk, saw Li Huowang's surprised expression and was quite satisfied. He said with a hint of pride, "How about it? Have you never seen it before? To be honest, this is also the first time I've seen a living Xinsu!"

Li Huowang trembled and reached out his hand to lightly touch Xinsu's face with his fingertips.

This was a middle-aged man with a square face, looking to be around forty years old, with a beard.

If you only looked at his appearance, it was a completely ordinary face, but the features on this face were extremely twisted, and the sadness, anger, and despair in his eyes were frozen in place with his death.

Li Huowang was very familiar with physical and mental pain, and he knew that this expression could only come from dying in extreme agony. This person, whose identity was the same as his, died very miserably.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's enough. Just touch it. In theory, you're not qualified to see this treasure. Letting you take a look is an exception. This is a priceless treasure that will be put in the national treasury."

Tuoba Danqing protected Xinsu and stuffed it back into his tattered bag.

Li Huowang mechanically raised his arm like a puppet and drank the wine in his cup. His expression gradually relaxed. "Tuoba, why is Xinsu only a head and internal organs?"

This seemed to touch Tuoba Danqing's heart, and he slapped the table in frustration.

"Hey! We were supposed to keep him alive. A living Xinsu is much more useful than a dead one. But guess what? When we were almost at the border with Ji Xiang, we were intercepted! We did our best, and we only managed to grab this little bit. It's really a pity."

Li Huowang nodded, and the strong drunkenness gradually covered up the shocked expression on his face. "Yeah, Tuoba, it's really a pity. If Xinsu was alive, I heard that his confusion is very useful."

Tuoba Danqing continued to show off. "More than that! Xinsu's flesh is also a treasure! Ear buddy, Xinsu's bones, liver, and heart are all rare materials!"

"I'm telling you, Ji Xiang has a powerful magic weapon made from Xinsu that can make someone's consciousness confused without warning. I heard that someone offered two hundred years of life just to buy it!"

"Magic weapon?"

"A magic weapon is a tongue, and a tongue is a magic weapon. If you don't understand these elegant terms, Ear buddy, you still have a lot to learn.""I've only heard of Xinsu in the past and never seen it before. I didn't expect there to be so much to it. Tuoba, you really opened my eyes," Li Huowang raised his glass to Tuoba Danqing.

"Did I open your eyes? Hehe, as long as you go out with me more in the future, there will be even more eye-opening places. Come, let's drink!" With that, he casually stuffed the Xinsu into a cloth bag and continued drinking.

They drank from the second watch of the night until dawn, until Tuoba Danqing fell asleep, and then they dispersed.

Li Huowang helped Tuoba Danqing, who was muttering to himself, to the guest room and helped him onto the bed. Then he picked up the yellow cloth bag containing Xinsu, shook it, and placed it on the left side of his ceramic pillow.

After closing the door with a creak, Tuoba Danqing, who was snoring with his mouth open, suddenly opened his eyes without any drowsiness. He first looked towards the door, then reached out to touch the yellow cloth bag next to his pillow. A look of approval appeared on his face. "Not bad, not bad. This guy didn't even have a hint of greed in his eyes when he saw Xinsu. The person Hong Da brought in this time is much more reliable than the last one."

Li Huowang, who was full of alcohol, staggered down the street. In addition to the two swords on his back, he also carried a large bag of things in his hand.

In the morning sun, Li Huowang's face showed no joy or sadness, he just walked silently.

Other people on the road smelled the strong alcohol on him and saw his strange attire, so they couldn't help but cover their noses and avoid him.

"Where did this drunkard come from? Drinking so early in the morning."

"Yeah, the younger generation nowadays are getting more and more unreasonable."

With these voices accompanying him, Li Huowang arrived at the inn where he was staying. As soon as he pushed open the door, Bai Lingmiao, who was anxiously pacing inside, greeted him.

"Li Shixiong, why didn't you say anything before leaving? You scared me to death! Did you drink?"

Li Huowang opened the things in his hand, revealing bamboo food boxes. "I went out to dinner with someone else last night. Let them all have a taste. These things are very valuable. Try them out."

After saying that, he lay straight on the bed and took a deep breath.

Seeing that Li Huowang was not in a good mood, Bai Lingmiao didn't care about eating. She sat by the bed and looked at Li Huowang's back. "Li Shixiong, what's wrong with you?"

Li Huowang took another deep breath. "Nothing, it's just that some things are not as I imagined. Miao Miao, I suddenly realized that nothing can be relied on in this ghostly place. You can only rely on yourself."

Thinking of that twisted face, except for the abbot's son, this was Li Huowang's third time seeing Xinsu, which had been torn apart by someone else in a fight for it.

After seeing that face, Li Huowang instantly understood that the powerful and numerous organization, the Jiantiansi, was not his backer, nor could it ever be. On the contrary, they could become his enemy at any time.

To completely join the Jiantiansi and establish oneself in this dangerous world was nothing but a pipe dream.These dangerous people can only be used from afar, not approached with kindness.

As long as one lifts their mask, a friend who was drinking just a second ago could possibly tie them up and sell them.

Being a heartless person is their original sin. As long as this identity follows them, they will be the Tang Monk meat that everyone wants a bite of.

Bai Lingmiao could feel Li Huowang's depressed emotions. She crawled over and reached out her hand, gently stroking his back, trying to make him feel better.

"Senior Li, don't worry. No matter what happens, we're still here for you."
