CLINK! The two cups clinked together and then quickly tilted, pouring the wine down Hong Da's and Li Huowang's throats.
The dishes on the table were a mess. While the two men had done their part, Li Sui's contribution was indispensable. He had only brought his appetite, and he was content to simply bury his head in his food.
"Brother Er Jiu, do you know why I helped you with this?" Hong Da, his face flushed, leaned in with his cup.
"Because we're comrades from the Astrological Bureau," Li Huowang said, tapping his cup against Hong Da's.
"Heh, we were comrades with Xin Chi Monk back in the day, too. How did that turn out?" Hong Da said with a dry laugh. "Actually, from what I saw of you during the Heart Turbidity incident, it was clear that you're a genuine person. I decided then and there to make you my friend. People like you are rare these days."
