After saying this, Lin Qing no longer hesitated, and her speed also increased by quite a bit.

When they arrived at the inner room, they saw a rather elegant house. Lin Qing couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

"This place should be where Chen He is sleeping," The innkeeper said.

Lin Qing's expression was calm as she carefully examined the house. It seemed that it wasn't a bad house at all.

Suddenly, Lin Qing seemed to have sensed something and looked towards the door of the house.

A muscular man walked out. His aura was extremely powerful, and he looked rather valiant.

When he walked out of the door and saw Lin Qing standing outside, he couldn't help but frown.

"Who are you? Why are you barging into my Chen Residence?" the person asked coldly. Before he could understand Lin Qing's background, he clearly had a lot of scruples.

"Brother Chen He, this is Lin Qing, Mister Lin."

Although the innkeeper was standing behind Lin Qing, he hurriedly said this.

Chen He's gaze turned to the innkeeper and revealed a slight smile as he said, "He is originally the innkeeper of the same inn as you. It is just that he has come at this moment. What instructions do you have for him?"

The innkeeper's expression couldn't help but change when he saw Chen He's expression that seemed as if he didn't know anything. He recalled that Miss Lin was not robbed by Chen He, then he would have a hard time escaping death.

"Two days ago, a guest staying at my inn disappeared. I've come to ask Brother Chen about it." The innkeeper said with a smile.

Hearing the innkeeper's words, Chen He's expression changed, but he concealed it cleverly.

However, although Chen He had concealed it extremely well, Lin Qing, who had been observing him the entire time, was still able to understand it. A thought involuntarily appeared in his heart.

"Shopkeeper, you must be joking. When have I ever seen a missing person from your inn?" Chen He hurriedly explained.

"I'm afraid Fellow Chen did not speak the truth." Lin Qing's eyes were cold as she stared coldly at Chen He.

Looking at Lin Qing's countenance, Chen He's expression also changed.

"You are the one who killed Brother Zhou Wu in the inn," Chen He said with an ugly expression.

"Exactly."

It was only a pair of eyes, staring fixedly at Chen He, as though she wanted to see through Chen He's background.

Hearing Lin Qing's reply, Chen He's expression turned even more unsightly. Adding to the fact that the shopkeeper who led the way, Chen He could guess Lin Qing's purpose in coming today. It was most likely that he was here to rob that woman.

When he thought of Lin Susu's words, the look in Chen He's eyes became even more meaningful.

However, when he thought of the strength Lin Qing displayed in the inn, Chen He's heart sank even more.

"So it is Sir Lin. Sir Lin's prestige in the inn that day was something that I greatly admire!" Chen He happily laughed as he spoke.

"If you don't want to beat around the bush, I'm here today. I believe Fellow Chen He should understand what I have come here to do." Ignoring Chen He's compliment, Lin Qing's eyes were fixed on Chen He.

"Haha, Fellow Lin must be joking. I am a fool, how would I know why Fellow Lin is here today?" Chen He said in a lighter tone.

At this point, Lin Qing already knew that if she wanted to ask something, it would be impossible.

"Since Fellow Chen is unwilling to say, then I can only search for a while. If it really isn't Fellow Chen, then I will apologize on your behalf. If it is so, then I would like to see how you deal with it." Lin Qing's expression was slightly cold.

Chen He's expression could not help but change. He could not help but clench his fist as his eyes turned dark. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Lin Qing stepped forward and prepared to search Chen He's room.

"This Chen's room is also one that you can search whenever you want." Seeing that Lin Qing was about to step into his room, Chen He suddenly shouted coldly, his voice filled with anger.

As if she had turned a deaf ear, Lin Qing chose to ignore him.

Chen He was infuriated. His face flushed red as he heard a clanging sound. It was actually Chen He who had unsheathed his sword from its sheath.

The gentle moonlight shined on Chen He's sharp sword, emitting a faint light. It had a unique sharp aura, making people not doubt that this sword could cut through gold and break jade.

"You're courting death."

With an angry roar, Chen He's silhouette flickered as he flew away with the wind. The sword light followed him, and at this moment, the dark sky seemed to have become much brighter.

Lin Qing, who was advancing, could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Furthermore, he had long since been prepared for this. Thus, he had already sensed it the moment Chen He had launched his attack.

Facing Chen He's sharp sword attack, Lin Qing was also unwilling to test it out. Her feet touched the ground, and with an explosive sound, Lin Qing leaped towards the side.

A cold light flashed from the sword. Thunderous thunderclaps were produced as the sharp sword sliced through the air, creating a series of whistling sounds.

"Chi!"

Although the sharp sword did not land on Lin Qing, it landed on the ground not far away from her feet. A beam of sword qi slashed the ground, creating a deep gully.

After the sword missed, Chen He no longer continued to make his move. Instead, his silhouette flickered as he blocked the path of Lin Qing, staring coldly at her.

Everything he did just now was a warning from Chen He. He was telling Lin Qing that if she wanted to take another step forward, she would have to rely on her sword.

Lin Qing landed to the side and stood firmly. Looking at the current Chen He, he could not help but let out a chuckle.

Chen He unconsciously furrowed his brows, as if he had a bad premonition.

"Your strength isn't bad at all. I'm afraid you're already at the first level of a talented warrior." Lin Qing looked at Chen He, standing with his hands behind his back. Under the gentle moonlight, her figure added a few traces of elegance, giving others the feeling that everything was under their control.

This sort of feeling was extremely unpleasant for Chen He. He shook his head and collected the negative emotions from his mind. Then, he coldly said, "So what if I am, so what if I am?"

"Nothing much, I just want to say that if you have the strength of a talented warrior, I will advise Fellow Chen not to waste your time, because you …" Block... No... Stay... "Me."

Lin Qing was stumped for words. Her voice was filled with an indescribable might, causing others to involuntarily tremble.

Naturally, Chen He who was standing in front of Lin Qing also involuntarily took a step back.

"Shameless boasting. In this Evil Region Ridge, besides Chen Ming from the Renhai Inn and the bandit leader, no one else would dare to boast like this in front of me." As if he was ashamed of what he had just done, Chen He felt quite humiliated as he said those words.

"Haha."

Lin Qing laughed maniacally.

"Whether it is boasting or strength, if Fellow Chen wishes to try, then I will accompany you to the end. However, if you really decide to do so, don't blame me for being impolite."
