Chen Qian led Li Ze into the Qilin Building, introducing the building to him as he went, but he soon discovered that Li Ze was not interested in these things.
"We still have an hour left in the meeting, shall we take a stroll around first?" Chen Qian asked.
Li Ze remained noncommittal, following behind Chen Qian with little expression on his handsome face.
His face was so famous that a crowd quickly gathered behind them, and the number seemed to be increasing.
Chen Qian glanced at the crowd and said helplessly, "Let's find a place to sit, otherwise we'll block the road in a bit."
Li Ze looked up at the dessert shop across the street. "Let's go there."
Chen Qian followed his gaze and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Li Ze would like sweet things.
Although the guide had a sweet tooth, for some reason, he felt that he couldn't guess Li Ze's preferences based on those of a typical guide.
After all, this guy is much fiercer than the sentry.
The two of them booked a private room, which blocked their view from the outside.
When the waiter came in and saw Li Ze, his face turned red and he couldn't speak properly.
"Give me one of each of your signature desserts," Li Ze said.
The waiter paused, then hesitated, "Won't it be too greasy?"
Li Ze fell silent. He remembered that He Xingjue almost always ordered the same thing when he went to restaurants.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the waiter tentatively asked, "Would you like me to put something together for you?"
Without hesitation, Li Ze nodded, "Okay."
"Then please order one for me too." Chen Qian said with a smile in his eyes, finding the person opposite him rather cute.
Just as Li Ze and Chen Qian were enjoying their dessert, an elderly woman with gray hair, supported by two men, came upstairs on the escalator.
"Why are there so many people here?" the old woman asked.
"I'll go and ask," a man said.
The old woman nodded, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Two minutes later, the man returned, leaned close to the old woman's ear, and whispered, "It's Li Ze."
A murderous glint flashed in the old woman's eyes, and she revealed a chilling smile. "Good, very good. Heaven is on my side. I'll take care of them all at once, saving me an extra trip."
"Madam, this Li Ze is no ordinary person. He can manage the mental seas of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of sentries in a single day. His mental strength is probably no less than yours," the man said.
The old woman waved her hand. "It's alright. This is the second floor. We'll go to the twenty-ninth floor first, which is over a hundred meters away from him. I'll target the people on the thirtieth floor and above first. They're all high-ranking sentries. Once they lose control, hehe, even the most skilled guide won't be able to handle the situation. In less than two minutes, the entire building will be in trouble. No matter if they're sentries or guides, none of them will escape!"
"Then you too—"
"I don't care what happens to me as long as I can get revenge. It's just one life, but with the entire upper echelon of the empire going down with me, I've made a profit."
The two men exchanged a glance and did not continue to persuade him.
Li Ze doesn't have a sweet tooth, but these desserts weren't very sweet. They were more milky and fruity, smooth, refreshing, and left a pleasant fragrance on the lips and teeth after eating them.
In addition, there are also fragrant fruit teas.
Li Ze was still somewhat unsatisfied after finishing his meal.
"Another one?" Chen Qian had already opened the menu and ordered several more dishes based on the descriptions.
Everyone says that the lady has a big appetite, and now it seems that this is indeed true.
How can someone eat so much and still be so thin?
Chen Qian's gaze moved from Li Ze's face to Li Ze's waist. Even though the clothes were loose, it was not hard to guess that the waist under the clothes was probably even thinner than a woman's.
"I heard you bought the Vermilion Bird Star?" Chen Qian suddenly asked.
Li Ze nodded and said, "I bought it."
"Why? Did you buy that place because of the commander?" Chen Qian asked again.
Li Ze's expression froze, and the joy he had felt from eating sweets turned somber again. "Maybe, I don't know."
His connection with He Xingjue was very weak, sometimes there and sometimes no, and it might suddenly disappear at any time.
The reason he bought the Vermilion Bird Star was indeed because of He Xingjue.
He Xingjue told him to wait, so he would wait for him where he disappeared, until the next Void Beast Tide.
Perhaps one day He Xingjue will break through the void from where he disappeared and reappear.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became oppressive. Chen Qian sighed silently and changed the subject, "Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help."
Li Ze hummed in agreement, "Not for now."
The Qilin Building was bustling with people. The old woman and the two men beside her carried nothing but their personal computers. They passed through layers of security checks smoothly and went straight to the 29th floor.
The 29th floor is not a shopping mall, nor does it have any restaurants or similar shops; it is a museum.
The museum was quite crowded, but very quiet. People hardly spoke, and even when they did, they kept their voices down.
The old woman and two men walked through the corridor and sat down in a quiet corner.
"This is fine. You can leave now," the old woman said.
The two men shook their heads. "We are ordinary people, we are not afraid of spiritual silk."
They are not sentinels or guides; the mental threads may cause them discomfort, but they do not cause them much harm.
Besides, their lives were given to them by the old lady. They couldn't help with revenge, so they only asked to collect the old lady's body and give her a proper burial.
Of course, there's a high probability they'll die together.
They couldn't abandon the old lady no matter what.
The old woman's spiritual power penetrated through layer after layer of thick walls, reaching the upper floor and the area with the most sentries.
