After hearing Qu Ming's words, Lin Qing remained silent for a long time. Although she hadn't done anything to Lin Susu, but Qu Ming coming in plain sight and asking for confirmation in front of her was really slapping her in the face.

However, Lin Qing could only endure the fact that her strength was inferior to someone else's.

Logically speaking, ordinary people would not easily offend a single person, especially when that person's talent was quite good. After all, that was the case. No one knew how many years it would take for him to surpass himself, and whether or not he would take revenge on them because of what happened that year.

However, it was a pity that Qu Ming was not an ordinary person. Since he had obtained the approval of a Devil Dao cultivator, he already possessed a certain level of talent, especially since he had not yet become a talented warrior, thus, he was able to kill a talented warrior. With his battle accomplishments, he could be proud and arrogant, thus Qu Ming was confident that even if Lin Qing had good talent in cultivation, she would not be able to surpass him.

It was because of this confidence that Qu Ming didn't mind offending Lin Qing and didn't care about her feelings. If it wasn't for Qu Ming's hope that the Tiger Gang could attract more attention from the officials, he would have taken Lin Susu away by now.

It was precisely because of this that Qu Ming didn't make a move on Lin Susu. Of course, it was also because of Lin Qing's promise. After all, Qu Ming only had half a year to wait.

Therefore, Qu Ming didn't care about Lin Qing's feelings, and didn't hide anything when he said it.

Since she was weaker than him, Lin Qing could only swallow it down with her teeth. After a long period of silence, she finally didn't say anything.

The scene became silent for a moment. The atmosphere was heavy.

Qu Ming was also aware of this, but he didn't seem to care. Instead, he said bluntly, "Other than visiting Miss Lin Susu, I also need to discuss a matter with Helmsman Lin."

Lin Qing's eyebrows creased, but she also said, "I do not know if Fellow Daoist Qu has anything that you need to discuss with me, why not say it?"

"Last night, under the lead of my Green Bamboo Gang, they broke into prison and saved many comrades. However, due to various reasons, some of them suffered serious injuries, and this Qu's heart also ached, but now that the investigation is tight, the usual medicines are difficult to transport in, so I came here hoping for Helmsman Lin's help," Qu Ming said indifferently. His tone of voice didn't ask for Lin Qing's help at all, but instead, it was more about the luck of the orders, as if asking the Green Forest Society to help was something that Lin Qing should do.

Such a journey, if Lin Qing didn't say that she would be infuriated, how could it be possible?

However, thinking of Qu Ming's strength, Lin Qing could only clench her fist.

Half a day later, Lin Qing forced out a laugh and said, "Fellow Qu is joking, my strength is there, but I do not have the ability. As for helping Fellow Qu to gather some medicine, I'm afraid that it will disappoint you, I am also very heartless."

"Oh, so that means that Fellow Lin does not intend to help." Qu Ming's eyes turned cold, revealing a murderous intent.

Lin Qing's heart trembled, but she still forced herself to remain calm. Although Qu Ming was stronger than her, it was still impossible for her to allow herself to be trampled upon by others.

If he had agreed to Qu Ming's request today, with Qu Ming's personality, he would have even more profits. Thus, no matter what the reason was, Lin Qing would definitely not agree to this plan.

"Fellow Qu must be joking. If I had the ability, how could I not help? It's just that I have the heart but not the strength." Lin Qing smiled, but her fingers unavoidably pressed onto the treasured sword, preparing to attack at any time.

Qu Ming looked at Lin Qing with an unfathomable look, yet his words caused Lin Qing to be stunned …

"I wonder what is the relationship between that old senior that appeared in the Northwest thick forest that day and Fellow Daoist Lin?"

He knew that Qu Ming wanted to find out more about Old Book. After all, the power that Old Book had displayed that day was truly strange. To be able to compete with that Devil Dao cultivator, it clearly showed Old Book's strength.

Qu Ming had never truly killed Lin Qing. It was likely that he was afraid of this.

After all, no matter how arrogant Qu Ming was, with his current strength, how could he be Old Book's opponent? If he had angered Old Book because he killed Lin Qing, then at that time, even if he had the protection of a Devil Dao cultivator, he would not have a good ending.

Lin Qing felt a chill run down her spine as she thought of this. She glanced at Qu Ming, knowing that Qu Ming had not found out that the old man had passed away. She couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

"You're talking about 'Old Book', but he's my master. What's wrong, what's the matter, Fellow Qu?" Lin Qing said indifferently, her eyes filled with unfathomable profoundness.

Qu Ming's expression slightly changed. It only lasted for a moment, but Lin Qing could feel the change in Qu Ming's mood.

"It's nothing much. I was just curious for a moment, that's what Fellow Daoist Lin said."

Lin Qing nodded her head and smiled, but did not say anything.

Qu Ming's seemingly casual question contained a deeper meaning, a deeper meaning that only the interested parties knew. The Dao involved the clash of forces, and if Lin Qing showed a hint of dejection, Qu Ming would be able to see through it.

Unfortunately, although Lin Qing was young, her shrewdness was also not shallow. She naturally would not reveal the thoughts in her heart on her face. Therefore, Qu Ming did not notice anything.

Qu Ming might be afraid of Old Book, who was standing behind Lin Qing, but he was not afraid. After all, when the older generation attacked the younger generation, they could not help but lose some of their dignity.

However, he seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Recently, I heard that Helmsman Lin's Deacon Huang has obtained quite a few medicinal ingredients. Coincidentally, if I need them, Fellow Lin might as well give them to me as a gift, I presume Fellow Lin would not care about these things."

However, she forced herself to suppress the killing intent that was rising in her heart and coldly said: "Sir, aren't you going a little too far? These medicinal ingredients, for the person who was injured by the Tiger's Gang, are meant to be used to save lives. Why would I use them as I please? Fellow Qu, please retract what you just said."

Qu Ming's face turned cold. Lin Qing had repeatedly rejected him, but this only made Qu Ming furious. He could not help but coldly say, "What if I insist on asking for it?"

With a tremble of her face, Lin Qing stood still for a moment before finally hearing a "clang" sound. She brazenly drew her sword in the direction of her chest. The sword light flashed for a moment, bringing along an indescribable chill.

"If that's the case, then it's just a battle." Lin Qing wielded the treasured sword as she coldly spoke, her voice resplendent and filled with a sense of elegance.

At this moment, Lin Qing was emitting a unique aura, causing the pale faced Lin Susu beside her to have a different color in her eyes when she saw this.
