Xika's eyes immediately fixated on the red-robed figure with the symbol of the fighting birds and snakes embroidered on it. But Huo Bing and Heiliao were unaware of it. They were busy debating which was better between the sirens or the bala-bala.

"Huo Bing." called Xika without turning his head.

"Well, Xika! Which do you think is better? Cireng or bala-bala?"

"Huo Bing!" call Xika louder.

Huo Bing turned her head with a half-confused half-excited look. Heiliao was currently describing the texture and taste of the cireng.

"Listen to their talk."

Huo Bing raised next to his brows. Then he followed the direction of Xika's gaze and his eyebrows instantly wrinkled. His expression turned serious. He ignored the Heiliao who was currently explaining how to make the chirping.

He flapped his wings then flew down towards the red-robed young man who had the symbol. He did not use too much energy to form his body so that his existence was thin and not easily felt.

Before he could listen to their conversation, his eyes caught something that made him frown, again.

He saw Hei Bao.

The black-clothed man smiled amiably and politely at the red-robed young man. He pulled out a chair and cleaned it before letting the young man sit down. But the young man's expression was ordinary as if it was ordinary. Even he doesn't care much.

"Young Master, how was the trip? Why didn't Young Master inform me first? I will definitely provide a better place for Young Master."

A voice appeared in Xika's head. It was Hei Bao's voice that Huo Bing had heard. Since currently the souls of Huo Bing and Xika were still in the same body, they could do that.

The reaction Xika gave was the same. Like Huo Bing, he was at a loss as to why Hei Bao was being so polite to the young man. He saw them both from above. Although not very clear but better than just hearing the sound.

Xika patted Heiliao on the head making the wolf realize what was happening. He immediately ended his long speech about the history of the siren and took care of Hei Bao and the young man. Although he could not hear Huo Bing's voice in his head, but his ears were sharp enough to hear from a distance of 5 more floors.

Initially Xika locked her eyes on Hei Bao. Wishing to kill him through the gaze. But the young man pulled his eyes. Somehow he felt as if he had seen the young man before, even met him.

For a while, Xika did not pay much attention to Hei Bao and what he was talking about, but it did not matter. Hei Bao was just making small talk with the young man. From the movements of his body, the young man was also bored with Hei Bao's pleasantries. And he did not hide it from Hei Bao at all.

He finally couldn't take it anymore. The young man yawned when Hei Bao was talking what facilities he would prepare if the young man contacted him first.

And immediately Xika recognized the young man. Previously he had not seen his face because he was sitting on his back to Xika. But now as she yawned and pointed her mouth upwards, Xika could see her face clearly.

The young man was the same boy when Crucosyta Village was being slaughtered. An expensive red-clothed little boy in the middle of assassins. Xika once hoped that the young man would save her. But it didn't take long for his hopes to be shattered.

The young man didn't care. It even gave him a disgusting look as if he didn't deserve to live.

Xika did not know how she felt. Confused? Saddened? Getting angry? I don't know. Everything seemed to be mixed into one and stirred up his current feelings. His mind was also in a frenzy, but he tried to focus on the conversation.

"Enough bases. I didn't come here to listen to your bullshit. What about the clan I mentioned earlier? What's name? Shaking Cards? Heh. What a silly name."

Hei Bao did not look offended when the young man was being disrespectful to him. But he did not answer directly. He smiled politely while scratching his head.

The young man looked at Hei Bao's left shoulder and his forehead slightly wrinkled.

"Where is your other hand?"

For a moment, Xika did not understand what the young man was talking about. He gathered the qi in his eyes then his gaze became clearer. And he saw that from his left shoulder down, there was nothing. The place where Hei Bao's left hand should lie is now nothing.

He had not noticed it before when he saw it on the road.

Hei Bao turned his head towards his left shoulder.

"This? Ah, this is nothing. I promise this won't affect me in the future."

According to Xika, Hei Bao was more afraid of not being used anymore because he had one arm rather than being scolded for having only one arm. Bad premonitions along with bad guesses crept up to his head. But he denies it. There was no way the young man was connected to the massacre of Crucosyta Village.

"I hope so." The young man glanced at Hei Bao at a glance then saw something else. "Have you finished it?"

Hey Bao slightly lowered his head.

"Regarding the matter. They put up a little bit of resistance but it doesn't matter. Their leader blew himself up hoping to succeed in killing me, but he only managed to blow my hand. All the younger generations I have done. Shaking Card won't appear again in the map."

Every word Hei Bao put out made Xika's feelings even worse. The expression is not much different.

The young man looked at Hei Bao sharply. And his gaze managed to make the three-headed old man lower his head while sweating coldly.

"You already know what I mean. Is that boy alive."

The young man asked in a tone that did not ask. And that made Hei Bao shed even more cold sweat.

"U-for now is unknown.......B-but I'll make sure as soon as possible."

The young man looked at him. Hei Bao did not dare to retaliate at all. He just lowered his head. Unknowingly his body trembled.

Xika should be happy to see Hei Bao who had been arrogant and haughty was now frightened. But he doesn't feel it now. Maybe because the young man was the cause.

Heiliao looked at Xika from the side. Maybe the boy was unconscious, but he clenched both his hands tightly. But it was not comparable to his gaze. His gaze was so full of hatred and intent to kill, Heiliao did not know where the hatred and killing intent was directed.

"Almost entirely. How many people are still alive?"

Hei Bao tried to calm his trembling body. The young man's gaze grew more intense and frightened him. Meanwhile Xika was holding her breath. He was afraid to accept the truth but he also wanted to know his uncle's circumstances.

"Du-two.." replied Hei Bao with a trembling body. It seemed that his attempt to calm his body was unsuccessful.

"Who?"

Xika's heart was beating very fast right now. Fast enough until he could feel his detachment without putting his hand on his chest.

"A-sister of the clan leader..........."

Xika let off a breath of relief. He was unconscious but he held his breath. Now he breathed back in peace. His mind became calmer. And he concentrated more on Hei Bao and the young man.

When Xika wanted to look down back, Heiliao stopped her.

"Xika, that's enough. Back out. They'll realize you when you look down again. Just listen to the bird."

Reluctantly Xika walked back and docked to the front door of her room, disappearing completely from the sight of Hei Bao who had started to sense another existence. By the way, Heiliao has a bond with Xika, so she knows that Huo Bing and Xika are communicating.

"Have you confirmed the identity of the boy?"

Although she could no longer see, Xika still heard the conversation from Huo Bing.

"Well......"

Xika was no longer looking. But he was sure that Hei Bao was currently bowing his head with a trembling body while the young man was looking at him sharply.

"At that time Young Master didn't seem to care, so-so I......"

THE PLAQUE!

Without having to look at it, Xika already knew what was happening. The young man slapped Hei Bao. Xika was anxious to see Hei Bao's current expression.

After that there was the sound of chairs being shifted and footsteps walking away. It seemed that the young man did not want to talk anymore.

Xika waited for quite a while before Huo Bing finally returned. But it came from a different direction. Not from the bottom but from the side of Xika.

"Why did you come from there?"

Huo Bing made a move as if he was exhausted.

"Well....The man was quite alert. He seems to be beginning to realize my existence. He spread his qi all over the first floor. If not careful enough, he might find me."

Xika nodded in response to Huo Bing. But Huo Bing knew something was wrong with Xika's expression.

"What's wrong? Did you get anything?"

Huo Bing was quite confused. Xika should be happy because her uncle is still alive and has not been caught. Is it possible that he was sad because his clan had been slaughtered? But as far as Huo Bing knew, Xika did not have any feelings for that clan.

"We're talking inside" Xika said grimly.

With Huo Bing and Heiliao on his shoulders, Xika stepped into her room and closed the door of her room.
