Meng Qi had expected the face-to-face meeting to be a private affair, but the moment he realized that Madam Baihua had chosen to meet him with so many Heterodox Demons present, including Soul-chasing Demon Monarch, he had prepared himself. He stayed on guard against any provocation and probing. His speech, charm, and overbearing manner earlier were to create an impression of a formidable, confident, and undecipherable devil so as to affect his opponents' spirits. He wanted them to be cautious and conservative in dealing with him in order to improve the odds of his success.
Therefore, after sighing he remained seated upright and maintained an unperturbed demeanor. His temperament was as refined and introverted as ever. He smiled faintly at Soul-chasing Demon Monarch as if a master of the latter's level was beneath him.
