Li Xin guessed correctly, the royal family was looking for him, and indeed it was Achilles.

"Avogadro, over here." Achilles beckoned, but he didn't come down; appearing in a place like this would cause trouble.

Li Xin got onto the carriage, thinking Simmons' was already luxurious, but compared to Achilles', it was nothing, truly extravagant beyond measure.

As soon as Li Xin got on the carriage, he started eating and drinking, "What's the matter, so early in the morning?"

Achilles chuckled, "It's already noon, you really can sleep. You seemed to have a great time yesterday. Hedan's beauties are quite enthusiastic, aren't they? Not to mention, in this aspect, we in Hedan are the best. Want me to introduce a few more to you?"

If nothing else, the Prince is indeed warm-hearted. Speaking of enthusiasm, Li Xin involuntarily recalled Celestia, and her top-notch air suspension appeared in his mind, just too hot and hard to handle, ahem, friend's sister can't be bullied.

Seeing Li Xin's expression, Achilles clearly misunderstood, "A fellow enthusiast, I also had an amazing experience yesterday. The marquise really has some amazing skills, scorching hot. When the marquis came, I was just climbing out the window; you wouldn't believe how thrilling her gaze was."

"Achilles, we might not be talking about the same thing."

"It's pretty much the same. Do you remember our bet?" Achilles laughed.

"What is it?"

"A draw means I win. You're not thinking of reneging, are you?" Achilles said, staring at Li Xin.

Li Xin paused, "Go ahead, if it's something I can't do, I won't be able to help."

"It can be done, and it relates a bit to your current status," Achilles said, "Find out the real perpetrator behind the Inner Demon."

Li Xin looked at Achilles, "There are many experts among the Funeral Attendants, yet after all this time, they still haven't found it. What can I do?"

"Just because the Funeral Attendants can't, doesn't mean you can't," Achilles smiled, "The Inner Demon always appears at night, and night belongs to the Moon God's followers, especially you. My father is almost ready to give up on me, but I still want to make a last-ditch effort. After all, as a prince, most of the time it's about eating, drinking, and having fun—a hard-to-find occupation."

Finding the Inner Demon aligns with the Night Patrol's duty, Achilles likely knew this. Li Xin felt the Inner Demon might not be that simple; it's been in Hedan all this time, and the Funeral Attendants couldn't find it. The logical explanation is the Inner Demon might be one of Hedan's nobles or protected by a powerful noble.

"Could the Inner Demon be one of your own?" Li Xin asked.

"It's possible." Achilles shrugged and did not deny it.

"I can try investigating, but if it involves the cooperation of the Funeral Attendants or some nobles, how do I go about it?" Li Xin said.

Achilles smiled, pulling out a golden token from his pocket, engraved with a flourishing Golden Tree, "This is my token. It should work in most cases, and don't push if it doesn't—that would be my father's issue. Besides, I can arrange for the Funeral Attendants to cooperate with you, and you can access their dossiers and other materials."

Li Xin took the token, feeling its weight; its design was very ancient, looking like an antique, "Is it pure gold?"

Achilles paused, "Probably, ahem, make sure to return it after the task is done, don't lose it, we'll talk about the reward then."

"Alright then, I remember there's a captain named Travis in the Funeral Attendants, let him cooperate with me."

"Okay, that's settled then. Tomorrow night I have a date with an old flame, she has a lovely friend with snow-white skin, very tempting. Want to join me and help entertain them?" Achilles said. He enjoyed his time back in the Royal Capital, though he sometimes missed his secret friends in the Secret Castle and Holy Hall; they seemed to share a common language.

"I'm still a kid, a very proper one at that." Li Xin shook the token in his hand, "I'll take the job seriously; the outcome depends on luck."

Li Xin got off the carriage, and Achilles opened the window to wave, clenching his fist, "Avogadro, good luck, I'm off to my date, bye-bye."

As soon as he entered the inn's courtyard, Dragon Mother was already flamboyantly waiting, glancing towards the door, "Oh, young master, where's His Highness? Won't you invite him in for a sit?"

Seeing Dragon Mother's carefully applied makeup, "Ahem, Dragon Mother, His Highness went on a date, he changes one every day, but Master Simmons is still better."

"Ah? Is he really like that? But he's so handsome, I guess it's forgivable." Dragon Mother lamented, "Master Simmons hasn't been here for quite a while."

Li Xin quickly detoured back to his room; once Dragon Mother gets into imagination mode, it's a bit too much to handle.

Looking at the token in his hand, he pinched it, knowing he had to get the job done; just never think you're the smartest at any time.

So far, the Inner Demon incident has become very closely related to himself, so Li Xin decided to make an assessment, the result of which would determine his stance.

Judgment: Involvement in the Inner Demon case is very dangerous.

The dice was cast, rolling quickly, soon giving an effective verdict.

The die landed on nine points, leaving Li Xin with a lingering feeling; it was a similar feeling under the fog back then.

Li Xin cast the die again, activating his Life Star ability, which at present meant adding one more judgment, providing better than no help, but the result remained unchanged, still nine points, with an equally strong sense of crisis.
