The innkeeper's heart was extremely cold. Facing Lin Qing's coercion, he didn't dare to disobey.

"This servant will lead the way for Sir Lin. I just don't know which family Sir Lin would like to go to first."

The innkeeper lowered his head, but it was difficult to conceal the resentment in his heart.

"Let's first head to Rising Ring's house, then to Chen He's place." Lin Qing pondered for a moment, thinking that it would be hard to find any traces of Chen He, so she decided to look for the Rising Ring first.

"This servant will help Sir Lin lead the way," the innkeeper said with fear.

"Not yet."

Thinking about the possible situation Lin Susu was in, Lin Qing became more agitated and her tone became more rude.

The innkeeper didn't dare to say anything, he endured the pain from his body and walked forward to lead the way.

Outside the inn, there was a horse carriage. The horse carriage was a good horse carriage, but the carriage was not a good one.

"There's some distance to go to the Zang family's residence this time, so I might as well take a train and save some trouble," the shopkeeper said ingratiatingly as they arrived outside the inn.

"Let's go in."

When he saw the innkeeper's pale face and his wobbly steps, he knew that the wounds he had suffered from the hands of the innkeeper must have been quite severe. Thus, he did not make things difficult for him and allowed him to sit in the carriage.

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding." The innkeeper said gratefully.

When they saw Lin Qing frown, they did not dare to say anything else and hurriedly boarded the horse carriage.

"Zhao San, do you know where Zang Jia Village is?" Lin Qing turned around and asked Zhao San, who had been following behind her.

"I know."

Zhao San saluted respectfully. He was already full of reverence towards Lin Qing. In this world where martial arts ruled supreme, people like Zhao San who lived at the bottom of the hierarchy would never dare to provoke an expert like Lin Qing.

Lin Qing nodded her head and said, "Come and drive the carriage." With that said, Lin Qing also entered the carriage.

Seeing that Lin Qing had already mounted the horse, Zhao San also quickly mounted the horse's shaft. The horsewhip in his hand let out a light, crisp sound in the air.

"Go."

"Go."

The horse carriage moved and rapidly moved forward. It was obvious that Zhao San understood the urgency in Lin Qing's heart and the carriage's speed was extremely fast.

Upon entering the carriage, Lin Qing saw the innkeeper sitting restlessly. Towards this, Lin Qing's expression was indifferent, and she did not have any special expression. She also sat down at the side.

Lifting up the curtain of the carriage and looking at the scenery outside, Lin Qing's heart became more and more agitated. As she thought of the things that had happened here in the past few days, she could not help but sigh in misfortune.

Looking at the ugly expression on Lin Qing's face, the innkeeper's heart was thumping. If he couldn't find Lin Susu this time, what would happen to him?

"Sir Lin, the last trip went smoothly." Seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage was getting colder and colder, the innkeeper quickly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing shook her head and did not say anything else.

"Sir Lin, since you have already returned, Sir Chen shouldn't be too far away, right?" The innkeeper said with a faint hint of threat.

Lin Qing naturally understood the meaning behind the innkeeper's words. It was only because her backer was Chen Ming that she refused to look at the Buddhist Sangha. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

With a "hmph" sound, the corners of Lin Qing's lips curled up into a mocking smile.

Lin Qing's smile caused the innkeeper to inwardly cry out, "Not good!" It was likely something happened to Lord Zhao on this trip. Otherwise, there was no need for Lin Qing to have such an expression.

This kind of premonition came extremely quickly, causing the innkeeper to panic. However, a person with vast knowledge quickly suppressed this feeling into the depths of his heart, not daring to reveal even the slightest bit of it.

"I'm afraid your Lord Zhao will never return." Lin Qing looked at the innkeeper with a mocking expression, and when she thought of Chen Ming, this "disappointed person", she felt a burst of rage in her heart. If it wasn't for her luck being a little bit better, she was afraid that she would have died from the previous trip.

"How is this possible?"

Lin Qing's words were earth-shattering. The innkeeper couldn't help but stand up and speak.

After all, Chen Ming was a talented warrior, and he was extremely powerful. It would be difficult for an ordinary enemy to harm him.

Ignoring the innkeeper, Lin Qing closed her eyes and adjusted her body to face the challenges that she might encounter in the Zang family's residence.

Seeing that Lin Qing was silent, the innkeeper didn't dare to say anything else. It was just that at this moment, the innkeeper's heart was a mess, he couldn't sort out his thoughts, and he never expected that Chen Ming would die on this trip.

No matter what the innkeeper thought, the carriage would always move forward without a sound.

There was a boundary in front, so it was impossible for the journey to be endless. About four hours later, the carriage stopped in front of a manor.

"Sir Lin, we have arrived at Zang Jia Village." Zhao San's respectful voice came from outside the carriage.

"Got it."

Lifting up the curtain of the carriage, Lin Qing was greeted by a series of buildings.

Looking at the Zang family's residence in front of her, Lin Qing's eyes couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. She didn't expect that there would be a village with such good operations within the Demonic Ridge territory. This caused Lin Qing to be endlessly praising it.

Very quickly, Lin Qing and the rest arrived at the entrance of the Zang Residence.

"Sir Lin, what should we do now?" The innkeeper asked respectfully as he looked at Lin Qing. When he heard the grievous news that Sir Chen had died, the innkeeper seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Are you sure that Susu was captured by the ring of the Zang family?" Lin Qing said with a cold expression.

The sharp sword at his waist let out a light sound, causing the innkeeper's heart to skip a beat.

"I don't know either." The innkeeper said with a wry smile.

With a cold expression, a cold killing intent emerged in Lin Qing's eyes.

Feeling that the air had become colder, the innkeeper could not help but shiver and quickly said: "Miss Lin disappeared from this inn, and the only person who would dare to do such a thing in Sir Chen's estate, other than the ring that was installed at Zang family, is probably the lone thief Chen He."

"Okay, go up and knock on the door." Lin Qing gave a "hmph" before placing her hands behind her back.

"Yes."

The innkeeper didn't dare to be negligent and hurried to knock on the door.

However, after a short while, there was a knock on the door, and an old man in his seventies opened the door of the Zang family's residence.

Seeing that the person who called him was the manager of the inn, the 70 year old man couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"A rare guest, why is the shopkeeper so free today to come to my Zang family?" The seventy year old man said with a smile.

"I have something to ask of you today. Hurry up and call the owner. I have something to tell you," the innkeeper said with a serious face.

When he heard the innkeeper's words, the seventy year old man's expression became serious. He then looked at Lin Qing and Zhao San behind the innkeeper and seemed to have thought of something, revealing a trace of meaning.

"Shopkeeper, please wait a moment. I will report it right away." The seventy year old man said with a smile.

"Okay." The innkeeper glanced at Lin Qing and said.

The seventy year old man smiled before returning to his residence. Not long after, he disappeared from Lin Qing's field of vision.
