Chapter 172 The Apex Hunter

Bai Xi looked at the people around her and casually pointed, saying, "Xuan Feng, Han Rui, Han Mo."

The three also nodded to Xue Yi as a greeting.

Xue Yi smiled at the three with great gentleness, but in his heart, he was dissatisfied. The introduction he wanted was definitely not just to know these three people's names.

Moreover, he had never even heard of these three names. But clearly, Bai Xi only saying a name was deliberate to protect the functional roles of these three; she was hiding things from him.

Bai Xi naturally understood his thoughts, but she didn't care at all. The more she kept Xue Yi in the dark, the less he would dare to act rashly. She looked directly at the bonfire and said faintly, "I'm hungry. Since we're cooperating, and I see you're well-equipped and have prepared plenty of resources, how about getting some food and drink for us?"

They had compressed biscuits and water with them, but Xue Yi's people... were eating roast meat, drinking fine wine, and even had fresh fruit here...

Since they had come to them for an alliance, if they didn't enjoy it, why wouldn't they?

Xue Yi, who had been hesitating to ask the question, was finally silenced by Bai Xi. He laughed heartily and said, "Third brother, go, clear out a clean tent, and prepare good food and drink for our four distinguished guests!"

The bald man said unhappily, "Yes, Seventh Master!"

Xue Yi then led Bai Xi inside, "Come, come, come, come inside. We have many tents pitched inside, and we've lit mosquito repellent incense. We can eat and chat."

Xuan Feng and Han Mo followed.

When they went inside, Han Rui quietly leaned close to Bai Xi's ear and said, "This person is not a good person. He looks kind but is cruel. Why did you agree to be with him?"

He could see his thoughts. What he wanted was merely to monitor them, and if he got an opportunity, he would sacrifice them without hesitation. Let alone the "three sevens," they didn't even want to share them.

Moreover, if this trial was the Han family's ancestral tomb, then according to common sense, everything here should belong to the Han family. What relation did it have to them, these "grave robbers"? Why should they share it?

He couldn't understand Bai Xi's actions and was even very angry!

Bai Xi raised an eyebrow and said faintly, "I know."

Han Rui didn't quite understand, "You know, and you're still with him?"

Bai Xi smiled and said, "Don't I have you?"

She had considered that if the so-called trial of the Han family was indeed the tomb of the Han family ancestors, then with Xue Yi, who was very knowledgeable about tombs, it would be relatively safer. Although she and Xuan Feng were skilled and could protect themselves and retreat safely in any bizarre situation, protecting Han Mo and Han Rui might be another matter.

Han Mo was her person, and she naturally had to protect him.

As for Han Rui, the Han family patriarch had knelt before her and asked her to take him back. She didn't like to go back on her word.

Most importantly... with Han Rui around, they could completely understand Xue Yi's intentions. If Xue Yi harbored any ill intentions, Han Rui would know, and then they could guard against it.

As soon as she said this, Han Rui also realized and smiled, "I see."

Xue Yi wanted to control them, and Bai Xi was merely using the situation to counter them. The truly high-end hunters indeed appeared as prey!

As the few of them walked towards Xue Yi's main camp, everyone they passed looked at the four of them with various expressions, but not a hint of friendliness.

Before long, the tents were set up, and the bald man had prepared plenty of food, fruits, vegetables, and a whole roast lamb.

Xue Yi glanced at the bald man, who then turned to get two bottles of wine.

Xue Yi took the wine bottles from the bald man, poured two cups, and presented them to Bai Xi, "Miss Bai Xi, meeting is fate. Let's have a drink first."

This wine was 72-degree strong liquor. Alcohol numbs the nerves, and when they became slightly tipsy, it would be easier to ask for the information he wanted.

If everyone passed out, and he got the information he wanted, these people would have no "value in living."

Han Rui could see his thoughts, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his exquisite phoenix eyes, but he still smiled and said, "We have things to do tomorrow. If we get drunk today, won't it be troublesome?"

These words were to remind Bai Xi that Xue Yi intended to get them drunk.

Bai Xi already had a poor tolerance for alcohol, and moreover, even if Xue Yi hadn't reminded her, she knew that the person in front of her had ulterior motives. Just as she was about to refuse, Han Mo intercepted the offered wine cup.

Han Mo took the wine cup, smiled at Xue Yi, and said, "Miss likes to drink, but her tolerance is poor. She gets drunk with every drink. Please let me drink this cup on behalf of Miss. Let Miss eat something first to line her stomach, to avoid a hangover and delaying our journey tomorrow."

After speaking, he drank the cup of wine in one gulp.

Xue Yi was slightly stunned, then laughed loudly, "Good, good, good! My brother speaks directly, he is open-minded and straightforward. Drink."

He tilted his head and drank his own cup of wine in one gulp.

He intended to incapacitate everyone present with alcohol, so one or two cups of wine were a small matter to him.

After drinking, he was about to pour another cup and prepare to toast again, this time to everyone.

Unfortunately, before he could even speak, Han Mo directly picked up the wine bottle, poured two cups of wine. He picked up one cup and handed it to Xue Yi, "Mr. Xue, I toast you on behalf of Miss. Thank you for your hospitality today."

Xue Yi was stunned again, not expecting this man to drink cup after cup. But before he could react, Han Mo had already stuffed the wine into his hand.

He picked up the other cup, tilted his head again, and drank the wine in that cup cleanly.

Han Rui was a little surprised and looked at Han Mo, wanting to know what he was thinking. But after so long, he hadn't had a chance to make eye contact with Han Mo. It was likely that Bai Xi had already told Han Mo about his mind-reading ability, and Han Mo was on guard against him.

However, his alcohol tolerance... was indeed quite good.

Xue Yi was truly taken aback by Han Mo's actions, but since things had come to this, he could only continue to drink the wine Han Mo handed him, "Good, brother, you have a good tolerance for alcohol. Today, I will definitely drink with you to my heart's content."

After saying that, he tilted his head and drank the wine in his hand again.

He put down the wine cup and was about to pour another when Xue Yi felt the wine bottles in front of him change from one to two, and finally to a pile, shaking unsteadily. He shook his head desperately, but he became more and more dizzy, his tongue numb, and he couldn't even stand steadily, "I, I, what's happening to me?"

The bald man had been watching from the side. Seeing Xue Yi staggering, he snapped back to attention and immediately stepped forward to support him, preventing him from falling, "Seventh Master, what's wrong?"

Han Mo said faintly, "I just drank two cups of wine. I'm afraid he's drunk."

The bald man said incredulously and sternly, "Seventh Master has a great tolerance for alcohol. He usually drinks a pound just to warm his body. How could he get so drunk so easily? What did you do to Seventh Master?"

As soon as he said this, the subordinates all stood up and looked in Bai Xi's direction.

They were all armed, and many were equipped with guns. They all seemed ready to demand an explanation.
