Duanmu Bei looked around and cautiously relayed his voice. "Let's talk inside."
Having offended both the lawful and unlawful sides as well as the decidedly neutral Beggar Sect, Merciless Tyrant was essentially a rat running through the streets. Had Duanmu Bei felt suspicious of Meng Qi's purpose, he would have long thrown the latter out and then leaked the news as a show of goodwill to the great influences. Even so, he did not want people spotting Meng Qi lest he come up empty-handed despite having paid the price.
Meng Qi was dressed in a light robe with a belt fastened around his waist. His hands were behind his back. He followed Duanmu Bei with light steps, occasionally taking in the beautiful sight of the blossoming spring flowers. His behavior made him seem rather relaxed.
