Qi Zhengyan lost control of his expression which had become oddly splendid. After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice, "Was it the Ghost Shadow Sword?"
"Indeed it was." Meng Qi answered indifferently. He continued to eat and drink.
Qi Zhengyan did not ask about what had happened to Li Sui but fell silent again. He was renowned for his Ghost Shadow Sword. In fact, he would not be anything without his sword. When he had his sword, one would either die or be seriously maimed, there being not much of a difference.
If you do not count the time it took Meng Qi to buy braised beef and pigs head from Wu Feng Restaurant, he only needed a half a cup of tea's time to go to the Ye Mansion, kill Li Sui and make his getaway! And this was him going about it in a casual way, not exerting his full effort. He could have killed Li Sui and been gone before anyone even realized what happened.
