Lin Qing was speechless, but there was no trace of pity in her eyes. A weak person was not worth pity. The more familiar she was with this world, the more she was affected by it.

Only the strong are worthy of respect. Weak ones, if they want to be respected, unless they have a special ability, they will always be looked down upon.

At this moment, the tavern owner was like this in Lin Qing's eyes. Unknowingly, Lin Qing felt that she was also slowly changing, becoming cold-blooded, decisive, less self-pitying, and less angry. Perhaps, because she had experienced too much, she had also changed.

"Speak, I hope you don't disappoint me." Lin Qing muttered to herself. At this moment, Lin Qing had already stopped looking at the innkeeper and turned her gaze towards the distant sky. She thought of Wen Xueqi who was in the sky, and she thought of Lin Xue Xian who had spent her days together.

Even though he felt Lin Qing's gaze not sweeping over him, the innkeeper still did not dare to show the slightest hint of disobedience as he respectfully said, "Sir Lin, did you not discover that Chen He's agreement was too easy?"

Withdrawing her gaze from the distant sky, Lin Qing could not help but look at the innkeeper and say, "You mean …"

His heart shivered, the innkeeper quickly replied: "Sir Lin may not be familiar with Chen He, but I do know Chen He's personality. He is a very stubborn person, it is impossible for him to give in so easily, much less open his secret chamber so that others can see him."

"Under his strength, Chen He is not to be refused. It is likely that this Chen He is also a smart person." Lin Qing also frowned a little as she spoke with some suspicion.

Seeing the current Lin Qing, the innkeeper knew that Lin Qing already had suspicions in her heart.

"Even if that Chen He knows that he is no match for Sir Lin, he should not open the secret chamber. However, isn't he agreeing too much? It's as if he was already prepared." The innkeeper hurriedly said.

A cold glint flashed across Lin Qing's eyes. With a meaningful smile, she glanced at the innkeeper and said, "That is possible."

"In that case, Your Excellency will believe it," The innkeeper's face lit up as he hurriedly said.

"Yes." Lin Qing said without any hesitation.

He lowered his head, and deep within his eyes was a deep sense of malice. He thought about the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Lin Qing, and the innkeeper would never forget it. If there was a chance one day, he would definitely make Lin Qing beg for death.

"In this way, I can be at ease." The innkeeper patted his chest, rejoicing in the fact that he had survived a calamity.

"I'm afraid I still can't …" Lin Qing muttered.

The innkeeper couldn't help but raise his head with a look of shock on his face.

"You should have understood by now, do you still want me to take action?" Lin Qing smiled as she scanned the innkeeper and chuckled.

"Why, why …" "I've already said it, why are you still treating me like this?" The innkeeper could not help but take a few steps back, his eyes filled with anger as he spoke.

"Because in your eyes, I see hatred, bloodlust, the shadow of a future powerhouse, and a future threat." Lin Qing stroked the sword hilt on her waist with a hint of ridicule on her face.

"But you still haven't found that girl surnamed Lin's figure. Without me, you won't be able to find that person." The innkeeper said with an unwilling expression.

"No need, because I already know." Lin Qing said indifferently. However, her gaze swept towards a dark place with a cold glint in her eyes.

"Don't you think so? "Chen He …" Lin Qing mumbled to herself as she gazed into the darkness.

A figure walked out from the darkness, revealing Chen He's true appearance. At that moment, his face was a little ugly, and there was a hint of admiration in his expression.

"I don't quite understand. When did you discover this?" Chen He asked with doubt and admiration.

"From the very beginning, I have suspected. From the moment I came to the Hidden Village, I have suspected the innkeeper." Lin Qing said indifferently.

"I am willing to listen to the details." Chen He also revealed an expression of curiosity.

"Although I have only known him for a short period of time, he is a smart person. If he were to do something like robbing, he would openly and forcefully take it from me and would absolutely not secretly rob me. That master of the Zang family, on the other hand, is clearly a wise person and would absolutely not let his guest do something like this, because he is a smart person." Lin Qing said indifferently.

"It can be considered a reason. Merely, I do not know why you would be so certain that it was me. However, I do not understand it." Chen He frowned even more tightly.

"I have always been cautious towards the innkeeper from the start. I will never place all my trust in someone who I don't trust." Lin Qing muttered.

Chen He frowned even more as he replied, "What does this have to do with anything?"

"This is because when I came here, I saw killing intent in the innkeeper's eyes. Although he hid it well, I was still able to see it, and this is the reason. I do not believe that the killing intent in his heart came out for no reason," Lin Qing coldly said.

"Isn't this a bit too far-fetched? With just a glance, you're certain that it's me?" Chen He revealed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"If that's all there is to it, even if you suspect me, it would only raise suspicion in your heart. However, since I've seen the killing intent in your eyes, I'll tell you something else. It's impossible for there to be two coincidences."

"Hehe." Chen He smiled but didn't say anything. However, the expression in his eyes when he looked at Lin Qing was even more fearful.

"In the beginning of the exchange, you felt that you were no match for me, so you simply took a step back in an attempt to lure me into the secret chamber and use the secret chamber's mechanism to strangle me." Lin Qing faintly said.

"I did have such an idea. Unfortunately, you were too vigilant, causing me to be unable to succeed," Chen He said with a trace of pity.

"When I was unable to find my secret chamber, the innkeeper told you that I was the one who killed Chen Ming to inform you, right?" Lin Qing asked indifferently.

"Oh, I don't really understand. What kind of explanation is that?" Chen He frowned as he asked.

"I'm telling you, if you truly want to kill me, you must send out a strength that can kill Chen Ming at the same time. Only then can you truly kill me." Lin Qing said with a cold expression.

"Not bad, not bad. Sir Lin is truly a wise man. It's just that most of it is Sir Lin's imagination, and most of it is without proof. How can Sir Lin be so sure?" Chen He clapped his hands and said with admiration.

"Indeed, a lot of it is just my imagination. However, this is enough because I can't take even a single step wrong. Even if there's the slightest doubt, I won't let it go … …" Lin Qing smiled without any explanation.
