Thinking of this, Li Qingming calmly took a step back.
After sending his thoughts to Tang Ya, he did not say anything more.
Tang Ya was still somewhat bewildered as she watched Li Qingming's retreating back.
Her lips parted, but for a moment, she could not figure out what she should say.
Only a few minutes after Li Qingming left, two figures cloaked entirely in black swiftly approached.
They briefly said something to Tang Ya, and she left directly with them.
Inside the enormous restaurant, Li Qingming sat quietly at a lower seat, eating.
Zhongli Wu sat opposite him. Seeing that Li Qingming was done, his expression did not change much.
For one thing, he could not be bothered to target children who had yet to grow up.
Those people might have some talent, but in his eyes, it would not amount to much.
And truthfully, he had not considered this possibility, nor had he investigated Tang Ya's circumstances.
He also did not understand Tang Ya's connection to Shrek Academy. Otherwise, if he truly had known, he would certainly have sent Tang Ya there just as Li Qingming had.
He might even have used some even dirtier methods.
Even so, Zhongli Wu's gaze at Li Qingming remained somewhat curious—or perhaps conflicted.
The youth before him was exceptionally capable, whether in intellect or every other respect.
Whether it was his personal talent, the strength he had displayed, or his methods of handling affairs, all of it was far more mature—or rather, formidable—than Zhongli Wu had imagined.
Watching Li Qingming eat on his own, Zhongli Wu did not say much more to him.
After they finished eating, the two went their separate ways.
But before parting, Zhongli Wu still arranged to meet Li Qingming again.
After all, they had killed Mu En.
