Upon seeing Lin Qing's graceful demeanor, this man was unable to ascertain Lin Qing's background. After a moment of thought, he asked, "May I know who this young master is?"

"I don't need you to know who I am. Today, you only need to call Chen He out." Lin Qing glanced at the man and coldly said.

"What a joke. My master is not someone anyone can meet. I don't even know your name, nor do I know your name." The man snorted and said.

Hearing this, a cold light flashed at the corner of Lin Qing's eyes.

"This is Sir Lin. He has a good relationship with Sir Chen Ming, even Sir Chen Ming admires Sir Lin's martial arts!" The innkeeper explained.

Chen Ming, the man naturally knew who the mastermind behind the inn was. His master had fought with Chen Ming before, but had never been a match for him. As for Lin Qing's martial arts, even Chen Ming was impressed by it.

"So it's Sir Lin. This humble one was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai just now. Sir Lin, please do not blame me." The man was tactful and hurriedly apologized.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing was speechless. She knew that this was the norm in the world, and the strength of a man determined how others treated him. This man's change from start to finish was no different from Lin Qing's extraordinary strength.

As she understood all of this, Lin Qing secretly warned herself that she had to remember that strength was fundamental.

"There's no need to blame him. Go and call out Chen He." Lin Qing indifferently replied.

"Master has already instructed me in the past few days to not meet with any outsiders. Sir Lin, please return first. When Master is free, I will pay you a visit and ask Sir Lin to come over!" The man said with a hint of flattery.

"Since you are unwilling to notify me, I will have to come and look for it myself." Lin Qing furrowed her brows as her tone turned slightly cold.

The man's expression changed slightly. He did not expect Lin Qing to say this. He could not help but be startled.

By the time the man came back to his senses, Lin Qing had already missed his body and was walking towards the courtyard door.

The man's expression changed. He recalled what his master had told him: one should not let anyone interfere in his matters. How could he allow Lin Qing to enter?

Not daring to be negligent, the man quickly leaped up and stood in front of Lin Qing. With a smile, he said, "I hope Sir Lin will not make things difficult for me. This little one will also carry out your orders."

"Hehe …" "This is not up to you, get out of the way. If anything happens, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Lin Qing's footsteps couldn't help but stop as she coldly stared at this person.

For some unknown reason, when facing Lin Qing, the man couldn't calm his heart down. He also felt a sense of terror lingering in his heart.

With a forced smile, the man said, "Sir Lin, there is no need to wait any longer. I will inform my master later."

"Some things can only be fought over for a moment. If it is too late, it will be gone." Lin Qing mumbled to herself.

"Are you going to call Chen He over right now or have me go in and look for it myself?"

The man's expression changed. Thinking back to Master's words not to disturb him, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Master has matters to attend to today. Sir Lin, you should come back another day."

He knew that the man had refused.

"Since that's the case, I will have to search for it myself." Lin Qing coldly laughed as she prepared to move.

'Bang! 'a loud sound was heard.

A cold light flashed as the man drew his broadsword. He looked at Lin Qing and coldly said, "I'm afraid that Sir Lin will not do as you wish."

"Haha, a mere servant dares to block the way." Lin Qing also sneered. However, without caring about anything, she continued walking forward. She had never even looked at this man before.

The man was furious and also said angrily, "Don't push me too far!"

However, Lin Qing had never heard of these words before. If Lin Qing was ruthless, she could easily kill this person. However, Lin Qing was not a person who was willing to slaughter others. Otherwise, she wouldn't be living such a carefree life.

Upon seeing Lin Qing's steady steps, he did not take his words to heart at all.

Furious, the man angrily said, "You're courting death!"

Her palm tightened as the great blade chopped down with a thunderclap. The cold light became even colder under the illumination of the moonlight.

Lin Qing, who was originally in front of him, seemed to have sensed this and could not help but frown. She did not expect that this man would actually dare to make a move.

However, how could Lin Qing possibly look down on a mere gate guard? Before this, she had not made a move because he wasn't worthy enough for her to do so. Yet, at this moment, he actually dared to provoke her.

He humphed and said, "You overestimate yourself."

Seeing no movement from Lin Qing, Qin Wentian's blade slashed towards her, only to suddenly stop half a foot in front of her, unable to advance a single inch.

It turned out that Lin Qing's right hand was gently lifted up. With a pinch of her fingers, the large saber that was whistling towards them was caught by Lin Qingdao's fingers, unable to improve any further.

This change caused the man's expression to change. He tried to loosen his grip on the blade, but it was already too late.

Lin Qing gave a light whistle, and Lin Qing's fingers suddenly exerted force, sending a surge of strength through the blade and into the man's body.

The man felt his body tremble as the grip on his saber loosened. The saber fell to the ground with a metallic clang.

As for the burly man, he let out a miserable scream. He involuntarily flew backwards and landed on the ground, causing a loud explosion. After struggling for a long while, he was still unable to stand back up.

Lin Qing had also expected that Lin Qing would be able to use the power of one finger to send the man flying. After all, there was a huge gap in strength between the two of them.

The innkeeper behind him saw Lin Qing casually knock the man to the ground and he didn't get up for a long time. He also felt his heart tremble.

Since there was no way to get in his way, Lin Qing walked into the courtyard.

The innkeeper didn't dare to be negligent and followed closely behind him.

As for the man who had been knocked to the ground by Lin Qing, even though he wanted to stop him, he had the heart to do so.

After entering the courtyard, one could see all sorts of pavilions and fake mountains. They were all filled to the brim with embroidered emeralds that emitted a faint cyan light and gave off a sense of beauty. Compared to its shabby appearance, it was like heaven and earth.

"This Chen He sure enjoys it." Lin Qing mumbled to herself as she saw the scenery in the courtyard. It was unknown whether she was ridiculing him or envious.

"This courtyard has cost Chen He a great deal of effort. When we first built this place, the number of blacksmith masters invited here was already in the tens." The innkeeper on the side also explained with a smile.

Lin Qing nodded her head as she added: "This place is indeed worth it. However, if it is really that raider, I'm afraid that this place will no longer have any chance to live here!" Lin Qing's eyes were icy cold, and it was unknown just how much coldness was hidden within them.
