Among the eight eccentrics, aside from these five people, plus Qiu Yong and the newly joined Ling Chen, there is one more person, who is also the most mysterious among the eight eccentrics.
The reason why he is considered mysterious is that he's usually silent and reserved, hardly speaks, and always likes to sit alone. This man is about forty years old and goes by the name Xu Ming. He is the second eldest among the eight eccentrics, with a very ordinary appearance that wouldn't stand out in a crowd.
After Qiu Yong finished introducing everyone, Ling Chen quietly asked Xia Yue for more information, but even Xia Yue didn't know much about Xu Ming's background, only that Xu Ming is one of the senior members of the eight eccentrics.
"Elder Qiu, should we… perhaps become sworn brothers?"
Qiu Yong replied with a light smile, "There's no need for such formalities. We eight eccentrics don't care for those common rituals, but a drink is unavoidable."
