Li Huowang looked at Hong Zhong without saying a word, then shifted his gaze to the other three—Monk, Peng Longteng, and Jin Shanzhao.
These things had been following him ever since they appeared. In the past, he always thought they were hallucinations caused by Xinsu.
But when he learned about the Renxiao from Hong Zhong's mouth, he realized things weren't so simple.

"If they're not hallucinations, then what are they? Why are they following me?" This was the first time Li Huowang seriously pondered the question.
Suddenly, Li Huowang recalled Jiang Yingzi who had appeared and vanished before—"She manifested from my shame, and vanished for the same reason. Could it be..."
Li Huowang felt as if some thought was almost within his grasp, yet it always seemed separated by a thin veil—the more he dwelled on it, the less he understood.
