"You have to be careful..."

Erguotou seemed agitated upon hearing Hu Ma's reply, hastily saying, "Brother, you really made it?"

"I saw you sitting at the same table as that little Tang official, drinking! That demeanor, that bearing, I couldn't see through her at all. It's obvious she's a master…"

"..."

Hu Ma hadn't expected Erguotou to be so anxious. Knowing he had set up this meeting, he should establish his persona to facilitate sharing information or seeking help in the future.

He smiled and said, "If you really want to talk about it, I guess you could say I made it."

"I knew Seventh Auntie before, but we weren't close. During this incident, I honestly showed her what I could do. I handled the tasks she assigned me efficiently, and she saved the person I asked her to save."

"Now it seems she thinks highly of me. In the future, we can all be considered our own people."

"Of course…"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "The most important thing is that this time, following her, I finally saw the appearance of that noble in the mountains again, and even sat at the same table with him for a while…"

"Ah?"

Erguotou also hurriedly lowered his voice, anxiously asking, "So, the noble who beheaded the Five Fiends Gods is really the one you mentioned in the mountains?"

"I didn't see that…"

Hu Ma honestly said, "But I did see him appear in Huang Gou Village and fight with the Five Fiends Gods. A sky-full of green tents surrounded the entire village, confusing the little ghosts following the Five Fiends Gods, making them scream and unable to find their bearings."

"But the one who beheaded the Five Fiends Gods didn't seem to be him. It was a Da Zou Gui (Great Wandering Ghost) I had seen before who set up an altar, but I know that Da Zou Gui doesn't seem to have the ability to behead the Five Fiends Evil Gods…"

"Anyway, at the time, many Yin Hui (shadowy and impure beings) who had been captured by the Five Fiends Evil Gods to attend the wedding feast saw it. You're skilled, why not summon them and ask…"

"..."

"Borrowing an altar to behead a god…"

Erguotou sighed deeply and said, "Forget about summoning evil to ask questions. I have the ability, but how would I dare to summon them? Besides, even if I dared to summon them, they would have to dare to speak. Involved in the affairs of such figures, they would probably be scattered to the winds after saying only a word or two."

Hu Ma also sighed and said, "Yes…"

Anyway, saying what he just did was enough. He wouldn't say more, as saying too much would expose his lies and make it difficult for others to imagine things.

Imagination is a great quality.

Erguotou, having received confirmation from Hu Ma, also took a deep breath and hurriedly lowered his voice, saying, "Those evil spirits don't dare to speak, but we Reincarnators don't care…"

"Tell me, what kind of personality do that noble and that little Tang official you're cozying up to have?"

"..."

"I don't know much about that noble, but this little Tang official's thighs are quite easy to hug…"

Hu Ma said, "I feel like she's a little confused. She speaks incoherently and doesn't seem to have much ability. When I ask her something, she just pretends to be confused. Sometimes I even wonder if she's really stupid…"

"..."

"Hmm?"

Erguotou was suddenly startled upon hearing this, his voice solemn as he said, "You must not think like that!"

"Confused? If you think she's confused, then you're the confused one."

"Don't you think about it? That noble hid in Mingzhou for who knows how long. The first time he took action, he beheaded the Green-Clad Evil Ghost. The second time there was movement, it was to seal such a little Tang official. How could she really be confused if she was favored by such a noble?"

"In the future, when you're in front of this little Tang official, you must be careful and not let her play the fool and find out your secrets…"

"..."

"Playing the fool…"

Hu Ma also tried to imagine Seventh Auntie playing the fool, but it was hard to imagine.

She was pretty good at pretending to be a tiger to eat a pig.

But listening to Erguotou's earnest advice, he solemnly nodded and said, "I understand. I'll definitely be careful."

"Indeed, such figures, whether they're confused, pretending to be deaf and dumb, or even deliberately hiding their identities, all have their purposes. We're too far apart in level. It's best not to speculate."

At this moment, another clear and cold voice sounded. It was Miss White Wine.

Hu Ma then realized that not only Erguotou and her, but also Sweet Potato Liquor, had come in.

Before, every time they solved something, he would take the initiative to find them to discuss it, because as senior members, they were calmer than him. But this time, they actually came over at the same time that night, showing how concerned and anxious they were about this matter.

"Like this time, we thought it was just a fight in the martial world, fighting the Five Fiends Altar Emissaries and making the Five Fiends Gods suffer a loss and retreat. Who would have thought it would be such a big deal?"

Miss White Wine seemed a little touched, sighing, "Clearly, he was a Hall Lord, but he was suddenly beheaded."

"I've been in this world for quite a while, and I've experienced a few things, but I've seen Hall Lords being punished and expelled, but being directly killed, honestly, this is the first time…"

"At first, we were worried about being too high-profile and being targeted!"

"Looking at it now, we were overthinking things. Such a big event, we can't even stick our heads out even if we stand on tiptoe."

"..."

Listening to her, everyone agreed. Before this, they had never even thought that the Five Fiends Gods would die. For people in the martial world, it was good to not suffer a loss in front of the Hall Lords. It was a great skill to make the Hall Lords suffer a loss.

Unexpectedly, they had now seen a temple god being beheaded? How terrifying!

After sighing with emotion, Miss White Wine said to Hu Ma, "Has the goal you set up for this gathering been achieved?"

"Yes."

Hu Ma sighed softly and said, "Of course, it depends on how things are arranged later."

"I did a good job this time, making this little Tang official very satisfied. After she was full of food and wine, she also gave me a hint, saying that I should go to Old Yin Mountain in the next few days to kowtow to the noble in the mountains and show my merits."

"If all goes well, maybe I can get a job…"

"..."

"Going into the mountains?"

Erguotou immediately became very serious when he heard this, saying, "Being able to let you go to kowtow shows that the other party really thinks highly of you. Listen to me, you must be careful."

"The importance of this matter is no less than dealing with the Five Fiends Altar Emissaries."

"If you can really directly hug that big shot's thighs, we don't know how much useful information we can earn in the future…"

"..."

"Understood, understood…"

Hu Ma hurriedly agreed, then quickly asked back, "What about you? Have you all gotten the benefits you wanted?"

"Those treasure hunters must have a lot of treasures on them, right?"

"..."

Erguotou was stunned when he heard this, "Treasures… what treasures?"

"I got mine."

Miss White Wine sighed softly, her voice actually carrying a hint of a smile, saying, "I caught a ride and also earned a bit of opportunity."

"Brother Erguotou, the treasure you wanted to take from Fox Coffin Village, half is with you, half is with me. Find an opportunity to take my half back… Of course, the accounts must be clear. If you want to take it back, you have to give me equal compensation."

"Ah?"

Erguotou was obviously a little surprised, "You don't need the things from Fox Coffin Village anymore?"

"Does that mean… you got something better?"

"..."

"Ehehe…"

Before Miss White Wine could confirm this enviable answer, Sweet Potato Liquor, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly laughed triumphantly and said loudly, "I got it too!"

"Thank you Senior Lao Bai Gan for giving me such a good opportunity, and also thank you for the generosity of Five Fiends… I caught the Blessing Fiend Altar Emissary and earned a few treasures, and then I caught that Fortune Fiend Altar Emissary. The treasures on him were simply…"

"..."

"Damn…"

Before Sweet Potato Liquor could finish speaking, Hu Ma was already a little stunned: This guy caught two by himself?

No, she was clearly the least skilled among the Reincarnators. She hadn't entered the Manor, and she didn't have any power backing her, and she was still limping on one leg…

…Speaking of which, when did she catch the second Fiend Altar Emissary? When they discussed it earlier, didn't she say that she was most afraid of the Fortune Fiend Emissary?

And because they only needed to destroy the Five Fiends Altar, their initial efforts didn't even include trying to catch all five, so they let one go. Unexpectedly, this guy actually picked up the scraps?

"Then… then that means…"

But before Hu Ma could say the words of surprise, Erguotou's voice trembled, sounding a little dazed, "That is, you guys all earned something?"

"No, I also put in a lot of effort. I borrowed the name of the Red Lantern Society and mobilized all the martial world in Mingzhou…"

"These past few days, I've been running around every day, leading people to hunt down the Five Fiends Altar Emissaries, turning the entire martial world in Mingzhou upside down. I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and I have to coax the Red Lantern Maiden when she's having a little tantrum…"

"…But as a result, you all earned something, and I didn't get any benefits?"

"..."

'It's not like you didn't get any benefits…'

Hu Ma couldn't help thinking in his heart after hearing his words: 'Isn't the Red Lantern Society about to produce an emperor?'

"Hehe, it wouldn't be wrong to say that you didn't get any benefits…"

Hearing Erguotou complain like this, Sweet Potato Liquor immediately didn't dare to say anything, afraid that this senior would want to share her rewards, but Miss White Wine directly sneered and said, "Although it's been very chaotic these past two days, I haven't been paying attention to the outside world."

"You made quite a commotion there, but you let that Wealth Fiend Altar Emissary run around everywhere, using a pair of golden and silver dolls to create evil, which is why such a big commotion was created…"

"If you hadn't been careful and personally taken action to deal with him, how could he have run away? That pair of golden and silver dolls would have fallen into your hands, right?"

"..."

Erguotou was speechless when he heard this.

The other two also had a bit of schadenfreude, "You, the earnest and upright Erguotou, also have this day…"
