After lighting two sticks of incense, Li Huowang sat on a stool and touched the rosewood table in front of him, stepping on the soft animal skin on the ground. Looking around at the gorgeous decor of the room, he knew that the price of a meal here would be anything but cheap.

He had seen this restaurant before, right next to the Linglong Tower. In terms of location, it was one of the best in the entire city of Yinling.

With a creak, the door opened and a beautiful woman in colorful clothes brought various dishes to the round table.

Li Huowang couldn't even tell what ingredients were used to make these dishes, let alone taste them.

"Hehehe~ Come on, Erxian Di, let's drink." Tuoba Danqing picked up the silver pot and poured it into the wine cup in front of Li Huowang.

Li Huowang's heart tightened. "Brother Tuoba, I'm not good at drinking, please forgive me."

He picked up the teapot next to him and poured himself a cup. "I'll use tea instead of wine. Cheers to Brother Tuoba, I wish you all the best!"

Tuoba Danqing smiled and clinked his wine glass against Li Huowang's teacup. "Good~ I also wish you an early promotion to the official rank, Er Lao Di!"

Li Huowang put the cup under his mask and took a sip.

Tuoba Danqing picked up his chopsticks and poked at the dish emitting white mist in front of him. "Come on, try this dish. It's a specialty of Yinling City, you can't find it anywhere else."

The atmosphere in the room relaxed as they ate and chatted at the table. It was different from the atmosphere in other places.

Tuoba Danqing, with a rosy face, said slowly, "Elder Brother Er, from now on, we are brothers. If you have any questions about the organization, just ask me."

"Also, remember that you are now a member of the Jiantiansi. If you encounter any problems in the officialdom, you can always use the name of the Jiantiansi. As long as it's not a big deal, the yamen will usually give face."

"Thank you, Brother Tuoba. Since that's the case, I won't be polite. I've encountered some difficulties recently." Li Huowang reached out and took out the gossip mirror that he had prepared beforehand.

"This is a magic tool from the Zuowangdao. It's very powerful, but I can't find the method to activate it. Brother Tuoba, could you take a look?"

"The Zuowangdao's things? Hehe, they don't have anything of their own. It's obviously something they swindled. Let me see." Tuoba Danqing took the mirror and carefully examined it, constantly talking to himself.

"Elder Brother Er, how did it go that day? Tell me, how did you deal with the Zuowangdao?"

There was nothing to hide, so Li Huowang told Tuoba Danqing most of what had happened that night, except for some details about the Black Tai Sui.

"Heh, these Zuowangdao people always claim that others belong to them. This kind of scam has been around for a long time." Tuoba Danqing's face showed a hint of disdain."But, there are always a few naive people who fall for their tricks."

"In fact, as long as you see through their tricks, these Taoist sects that deceive beings can be killed as many as they come. They're all useless tricks like big three elements and small four happiness, dice and flower cards!"

Li Huowang could tell that the other party was bragging, but he naturally didn't point it out and just went along with it.

It was okay to drink and brag a bit, but it actually made Li Huowang feel that the other party was a living person with flesh and blood.

"This looks like a Daoist artifact, but do you see that the Bagua positions are wrong? This Kun is above and Qian is below. This kind of Daoist reversal of heaven and earth, as far as I know, there are only three families in Da Liang."

Tuoba Danqing handed the mirror to Li Huowang and said, "Take it for now. I'll check it later and give you an answer. If there is a matching technique, I'll pass the message on to you."

"Anyway, this thing should be worth a lot. I estimate it's worth at least thirty to fifty years of Yang lifespan. Brother, you have good luck."

Apart from the surface meaning, this sentence also revealed that within the Heavenly Supervision Organization, the things used for trading were not gold and silver but Yang lifespan.

"Thank you again, Brother Tuoba."

"You're welcome. We're all on the same side. Don't be so polite. Let's drink!"

Tuoba Danqing raised his glass and drank it down. After a low burp, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Suddenly, Tuoba Danqing remembered something. He put his chopsticks on the edge of the plate and reached into the burlap bag under the table.

After fishing for a while, he pulled out more than ten black bullets. "Here, I almost forgot. This is your reward, thirteen years of Yang lifespan. It's sealed with Danfeng, which is different from your method."

Li Huowang took out the gourd from his waist and, as the small mouth of the gourd wriggled a few times, the front half of the entire gourd cracked into a fierce and sharp mouth, swallowing the Yang lifespan pills one by one.

Tuoba Danqing saw Li Huowang's gourd and a proud look appeared on his drunken face.

"Brother, this thing is not good enough. My tattered bag is stronger. Although it's broken, it can hold a lot."

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

"In the future, find some time to go to the capital and buy some useful artifacts."

"Oh? Does the Heavenly Supervision Organization even have a dedicated trading place?" Li Huowang was suddenly surprised. This was not only helpful for his future intelligence gathering, but also for improving his strength.

"What's so surprising? Isn't it strange if we don't have one?"

Li Huowang agreed and quickly poured himself a little wine, toasting Tuoba Danqing.

Li Huowang's keen perception made him very easy to get drunk, but in some situations, he really needed to be drunk.

That night, the two of them drank more and more, and their relationship also became better and better. In the end, they even burned yellow paper, killed chickens, and made vows. Tuoba Danqing's voice reminded Li Huowang of his dormitory classmates, and he seemed to have returned to the beautiful time before he got sick."I don't have a mental illness nor have I traveled through time, and Yang Na is real. My future is full of brightness." Li Huowang sighed, "Ah... how nice it would be if I could go back to that time again..."

"But I have joined the Monitoring Bureau now. Those days of uncertainty are over. Things will only get better from now on. I will definitely have a better life than before!"

In a daze, Tuoba Danqing hugged Li Huowang's shoulder and leaned against the window, looking at the silent city of Yinling outside. He said with a hint of emotion, "Brother Li! Look at how beautiful this Yinling City is. The rabbit statue in this city is also beautiful! To be honest, I haven't been here many times."

"Tuoba brother, let me apologize! I'll drink three cups as punishment! I made you run around like this!" Li Huowang's tongue was tied from drinking, and sometimes he didn't even know what he was saying.

"What are you apologizing for? What nonsense are you talking about? I just happened to pass by, not for you specifically. Guess what I was doing before, little guy?"

"How can I guess that? Tuoba brother... hiccup, look, the sky is almost bright. Let's just drink until today."

When Tuoba Danqing heard that Li Huowang didn't respond to him, he was dissatisfied. "Come here, let me show you a good treasure! It will broaden your horizons!"

He pulled Li Huowang back to the table and slammed down on the ground, rummaging through his yellow tattered bag.

Soon, he pulled out a man's head connected to a bloody internal organ from the bag.

"Huh?" Li Huowang looked at it in astonishment. "Tuoba brother, what is this?"

"Hehe, don't you know? This is the Heart Essence we specially obtained from the depths of Qingqiu with Master Ji Xiang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Red on the side suddenly burst into laughter, laughing happily and bending over, out of breath.
