However, based on Qu Ming's understanding of Lin Qing, he knew he wouldn't be given the chance to fight Lin Qing alone.

Qu Ming's face was slightly gloomy and his expression was as dark as the water. Seeing this scene, killing intent rose in his heart.

Lin Qing stood at the side, feeling the changes in Qu Ming's heart. At this moment, Lin Qing didn't dare to truly end the conflict with Qu Ming. If not, the one who would suffer would be herself.

After all, although the giant eagle was strong, it was still weaker than Qu Ming by a little. If it was Lin Dong, he would be able to compete with Qu Ming, but it was obvious that this was not a rational move. After all, Lin Qing could not allow the giant eagle to stay by his side and protect her safety.

With this thought in mind, Lin Qing calmed down for a moment before speaking, "I must ensure Lin Susu's safety within this half a year. Lin Susu's death has nothing to do with me."

Qu Ming, who was vaguely murderous in his heart, calmed down when he heard these words. The murderous intent that was originally vaguely born had also decreased quite a bit.

"Helmsman Lin, please remember what you've said." Qu Ming coldly laughed.

"I will not forget it." Lin Qing also said immediately.

Hearing this, Qu Ming's expression slightly relaxed, but he suddenly said: "I do not wish for anything to happen to Lin Su in this half a year. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression. She hurriedly said: "I will naturally protect your safety. This is not something that worries Fellow Qu."

"Hmph, that's not what I said." Qu Ming said coldly.

"Oh, that makes me suspicious." Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph, I am not worried about the life and death of that slut Lin Susu. What I said was, in this half year, you should not do anything against me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any face." Qu Ming said with a slightly cold expression.

"Don't worry, I have yet to reach that stage." Lin Qing merely laughed coldly as she spoke.

Qu Ming looked deeply at Lin Qing, then his eyes swept over the giant eagle hovering in the air before he coldly said, "I hope Helmsman Lin remembers what you said, otherwise …"

"I won't trouble Fellow Qu to worry about this." Although Lin Qing's face was pale, she spoke seriously.

Qu Ming took a long, deep look at Lin Qing. He stomped his feet on the ground and disappeared like a shadow. In just a short moment, he had disappeared into the bamboo forest.

As she watched Qu Ming's departing figure, Lin Qing's gaze turned indifferent, expressionless. But when she could no longer see Qu Ming's silhouette, Lin Qing's body trembled as she spat out a mouthful of blood from her mouth.

After their previous exchange, Lin Qing now understood Qu Ming's strength. His strength was not something to be trifled with.

In just a short exchange of blows, Lin Qing was already severely injured.

Lin Qing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and let out a bitter laugh. She then looked at the giant eagle hovering above the bamboo forest and smiled.

Placing his fingers on his mouth and blowing lightly, a melodious melody rose with a unique rhythm.

After hearing Lin Qing's whistle, the giant eagle, which had been hovering in mid-air, also gave off a hiss and turned into a figure, flying away. In a short while, it disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the giant eagle flying away, Lin Qing bitterly smiled. She dragged her injured body and walked in a certain direction.

An hour later, Chen Zian's figure arrived at a courtyard.

This courtyard was located in a dense forest, and the surrounding trees were very lush. If one did not carefully discover it, one would not be able to find this courtyard either.

When Lin Qing arrived at the entrance to the courtyard, she saw two muscular men standing guard outside the door. They were looking around vigilantly.

As soon as Lin Qing's figure appeared, he was discovered by two men.

Seeing that it was Lin Qing, the two men became excited. They hurriedly clasped their hands and bowed, "Greetings, Branch Lord Lin."

Looking at the two members of the Tiger Gang, Lin Qing nodded her head and said with a warm smile, "The past few days have been peaceful and well."

"Reporting to the Branch Lord, everything is fine. It's just that we're too idle. I wonder when the Division Lord will lead us to do our work again?" One of the members of the Tiger Gang said in a hubbub.

Lin Qing smiled and scolded with a hint of a smile, "You deserve to be tired of living. Even if you're blessed, you still wouldn't know how to enjoy it."

The two members of the Tiger Faction rubbed their heads and smiled foolishly.

Seeing this, Lin Qing didn't say anything else. She merely walked up to the two of them and patted them on their shoulders before warmly saying, "Do your job well. Don't let anyone near this place!"

"Yes!" The two strong men of the Tiger Gang replied respectfully.

Lin Qing smiled and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was huge and spacious. At the same time, there were two rows of weapons hung at the center of the courtyard. Under the rays of the sun, the entire courtyard was gleaming with a cold and sinister light.

At this moment, in the spacious courtyard, there were over twenty sturdy men, all of whom were training. They were the ones that Lin Qing had brought over from the northwest dense forest.

Upon seeing Lin Qing, all the other members of the Tiger Gang immediately stood up and respectfully greeted her, "Greetings, Branch Lord Lin."

Lin Qing had a warm smile on her face as she smiled and said, "Everyone, please continue. I am only here to take a look."

All of the members of the Tiger Gang respectfully said, "Yes," before dispersing.

Lin Qing smiled and entered a room in the courtyard.

The room wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It was more than enough for ten people.

There was a large chair in the main seat. It was covered with fur and looked rather luxurious. There were also eight seats on the side of the large chair.

Lin Qing didn't think too much about it and sat down on a fluffy chair.

Lin Qing sat on her seat for a short while before she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside.

After a while, he saw a man with white hair and a young face walking over quickly with seven muscular men.

When he entered the room, he saw Lin Qing sitting on the main seat. He quickly cupped his fist and respectfully said, "This subordinate pays his respects to Helmsman Lin."

The people who came were none other than Huang Shan, the eight core members of the Tiger Gang led by Xue Han.

"There's no need to be so courteous. Everyone, please sit here. I have some matters that I need to discuss with everyone." Lin Qing smiled and said.

The few of them hesitated for a moment. Under Huang Shan's lead, each of them found a seat and looked at Lin Qing, waiting for her to say something further.

Seeing Huang Shan and the rest sit down, Lin Qing smiled and said in a gentle voice: "These few days, the sect members have been quite safe. Did anything unexpected happen?"

"For the past few days, everything has been fine and nothing unexpected has happened. The sect members have been diligently practicing martial arts and are ready for the next operation. They can be on standby anytime." Huang Shan said respectfully.

Hearing Huang Shan's words, Lin Qing was very satisfied and a smile inevitably appeared on her face.
