"I always thought I had let it go, but every time I wanted to throw it away or destroy it, I would still hesitate, so I put this thing on it."

Jingxing understood that Huaixu might have really let it go, but not completely.

Deep down, I still care.

"now what?"

Huai Xu looked at the palm-sized eggshell in his hand and smiled: "I heard that this is a good material for refining weapons, so I'll give it to Elder Xing and ask him to help refine some gifts and distribute them to everyone."

The past does not have to be discarded.

It should be transformed into nourishment for the present.

Jingxing knew that Huaixu was truly relieved this time.

He smiled and nodded: "Then I'll start looking forward to it."

Huai Xu nodded solemnly: "Okay."

"Let's go. I'm not familiar with Luoxingyuan. You have to lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Huai Xu, who was always calm, replied seriously: "Aren't you well-read and know everything?"

“…You’ve learned bad habits.”

How could Jingxing not hear that Huaixu was teasing him?

Huai Xu pursed his lips and smiled, then took a step forward and walked out of this "home".

This time, he did not look back, but led Jingxing towards where the honest man lived.

When passing by, other dragons would nod and greet Huai Xu when they saw him.

Seeing this, Jing Xing raised his eyebrows: "Aren't they afraid of you?"

You have to know that Huai Xu was a terrifying existence who massacred the dragon clan back then.

Huai Xu remained calm upon hearing this, and did not feel suspicious because the question was a bit abrupt and offensive.

"afraid."

"Then why did he take the initiative to greet you?"

Huai Xu tilted his head to look at Jing Xing, his voice without much fluctuation: "When fear reaches a certain level, it turns into respect."

An unsurpassed, undefeatable, extremely powerful being. Faced with such a being, most people would feel awe rather than pure fear.

Not to mention--

"The Dragon Clan leader is such a presence, they can only feel fortunate and at ease."

The previous Dragon Clan leader was of average strength. To put it nicely, he was humble, friendly and approachable, but in fact, he was indecisive and overly soft-hearted.

Otherwise, he would not have allowed the family before Huai Xu to be controlled like that, and would not have allowed those elders with ulterior motives to secretly undermine him.

Even if he was dead, Long Hao dared to dig out his heart and use it.

The dragon clan was already very dissatisfied with him, and that dissatisfaction reached its peak when the dragon egg was taken away and no new clan leader was born after his death.

After all, without the birth of a patriarch, it means that the dragon clan will suffer from constant disasters and diseases. Before Huai Xu appeared, this period lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the dragon clan’s population could be said to have sharply decreased.

Then the dragon clan must treat Huai Xu, the new clan leader, as a treasure even if he is just a vase and a mascot.

What’s more, Huai Xu is not like that.

When the two men arrived at the honest man's yard, they found that there were many guests inside and outside, not only from the man's own family, but also prominent figures from other families.

A buffet banquet had already been set up in the yard.

Seeing Huai Xu coming, the honest man hurriedly came forward to greet him warmly: "Patriarch, please come in, please come in."

After saying that, the man slapped his head and quickly looked at Jingxing: "Madam, you too, please come in quickly."

Seeing this, the others also came forward to greet Huai Xu, Jing Xing and the others.

But everyone knew that today's banquet was a man's happy event, so they didn't delay Huai Xu too much. They greeted him and returned to their seats.

It was not until they entered the lobby of the man's house that Huaixu and Jingxing saw the appearance of the "Jinbao" the man was talking about.

She was a very beautiful and delicate woman, wearing a white dress which made her skin look even whiter than cream.

She seemed to be not feeling well. When she coughed gently, her eyes were a little red, which formed a sharp contrast with her plain dress, making her look even more pitiful.

Several young men gathered around her eagerly, all asking her about her well-being.

Seeing this, the honest man couldn't help but explain a few more words: "Jin Bao is living away from home and her health is quite poor, so it's inevitable that everyone will take better care of her."

Indeed, the dragon race has a very strong physique, and even their self-healing ability is stronger than that of other races.

It is rare to see someone this weak.

Not to mention the dragon clan...women are extremely rare, aren’t they “treasures”?

But looking at this Jin Bao and the men around her, for some reason, Huai Xu and Jing Xing suddenly remembered Qin Zhen's soul-searching question -

"Do you know what a dog licker is?"

They seemed to know.

"That's amazing." Jingxing sent a message to Huaixu.

"Huh?" Huai Xu was a little confused.

"She didn't take the initiative, but she didn't refuse either. She was evenly at ease, not favoring anyone in particular, which made those guys secretly compete with each other, and they all felt that they had a chance. Don't be fooled by her innocent look. The few times she wanted to suppress the corners of her mouth showed that she was enjoying the current situation."

Upon hearing this, Huai Xu couldn't help but look at Jin Bao twice more.

To be honest, he didn't really pay attention to what Jingxing said. He only saw her weak and innocent look.

but--

He did not doubt what Jingxing said. His junior brother's observation skills were sometimes really amazing.

"Something's wrong." Huai Xu quickly made his own judgment.

When Jing Xing heard Huai Xu say this, he immediately asked seriously, "What's wrong?"

"I didn't see what you said."

Jing Xing was stunned at first when he heard this, but then he quickly understood what Huai Xu meant.

Huai Xu was also a man who was very good at judging people. After all, he had been wandering outside for so many years, so he must have seen all kinds of evil people.

He had extensive experience in judging people, but he could not see that something was wrong with Jin Bao, which was inconsistent with his usual insight.

"That's--that's really interesting."

Something obscured Huai Xu's perception.

Combined with what Qin Zhen had said before, Jing Xing almost instantly confirmed that Huai Xu's death was related to this so-called Jin Bao and the "suck-ups" around her.

By the way, the “acquaintances” and “unguarded” that Qin Zhen mentioned seemed to help them lock on to people more quickly.

"Big Brother, are there any acquaintances of yours among those licking dogs?"

Huai Xu naturally thought of this, and soon his eyes were fixed on one of the men who looked very easy-going.

"Do you know that person?"

"It's Han Qizhen, who we just mentioned and who once helped me."

"The one who found the gold treasure?"

"Correct."

Jingxing looked over almost immediately, and Han Qizheng, noticing his gaze, subconsciously turned his head to look over.
