"Good, the red clothed man is truly a wise man. From your expression yesterday, I'm afraid that you're not on good terms with Chen He." Lin Qing smiled as she looked at Ye Hongyi, seemingly in search of him.

A trace of hatred appeared in Ye Hongshui's gentle eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chen He and I are absolutely irreconcilable."

Lin Qing nodded her head. Without asking any further questions, she pensively replied, "I will help you deal with Chen He, but you need to help me find a trace of a woman. If possible, it would be best to rescue her."

"Okay!" Ye Hongyi said decisively.

Ye Hongyi's quick response caused Lin Qing to hesitate. After a moment of thought and confirming that there was nothing wrong, she smiled and extended her hand, "I hope that this trip will be a happy one."

Ye Hongyi also extended his soft and smooth hands to shake hands with Lin Qing.

At this moment, Lin Qing and Ye Hongyi had basically reached an agreement: they were friends that would deal with Chen He. As for the two of them, it was unknown whether or not they each had their own ulterior motives.

When he came out of Ye Hongyi's room, the moon was already hanging in the middle of the night sky. The gentle moonlight illuminated the earth, bringing with it a touch of gentleness and beauty.

From Ye Hongyi, Lin Qing had basically found out all of Chen He's information. As the saying went, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and be victorious in hundreds of battles". After knowing so much, Lin Qing's understanding of Chen He had become a bit more confident in this trip.

However, the only piece of unexpected news from Ye Hongyi was that Chen He was actually the younger brother of Chen Ming, the person behind the inn. This came as a great surprise to Lin Qing.

Thus, Lin Qing's previous doubts were made clear. After all, how could there be such a powerful faction known as the Dugu Family, and they were not something that could be managed by a lone robber. Just the subordinates that had appeared before Lin Qing last night, if they did not have any backing, how could they afford to support such a clan?

And he was actually Chen Ming's younger brother. The power and influence that the Chen Residence was currently displaying probably didn't belong to Chen He.

Of course, even if she knew all of this, it would be very difficult for Lin Qing to use this as an excuse for a short period of time.

Not long after, in the dark of the night, Lin Qing's figure flashed. Today, if Lin Qing wanted to be Jing Ke and walk the path of an assassin, if she succeeded, the matter would be simple. If she failed, then she would have to plan carefully.

Of course, Lin Qing also knew that Chen He was probably on guard against any possible night raids, so he definitely had to be extremely vigilant.

However, with Ye Hongyi's report as well as the information he provided, Lin Qing still had some confidence in herself.

After dodging a few waves of sentries, Lin Qing's figure quickly appeared on top of a house beam.

At this point, Lin Qing could already faintly see Chen He's shadow.

Chen He was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat with his eyes closed, seemingly immersed in his cultivation.

Beside Chen He stood three other people. All of them were people with deep auras and their eyes were narrowed. The muscles on their arms were moving and forming a thick layer of calluses on their palms. It was obvious that they had trained for many years.

Seeing this scene, it was evident that Chen He was worried about his own safety. Thus, he decided to not leave his subordinates' side.

Although Lin Qing was confident in her own strength, she did not believe that she would be able to kill Chen He in a moment's time. If she delayed it for too long, it was likely that the rest of the clan, Lei Qiyun, would have no choice but to retreat.

At this moment, Lin Qing could only suppress her murderous intent as she stood on the roof, looking for an opportunity …

This wait lasted for four hours. As the night deepened, the three people standing beside Chen He also gradually revealed signs of exhaustion.

After all, humans weren't machines, so it was impossible for them to be on guard all day and all night. After all, they were only mortals, and if they didn't reach a certain realm, how could they be as relaxed as immortals?

Chen He, who was sitting on the praying mat, also realized this. He knew that these people, after all, were not his subordinates. The reason why they were able to put in so much effort today was all because of his older brother Chen Ming.

With this thought in mind, Chen He stood up and said with a smile, "Since it is already so late, I believe that Lin Qing will not come again. The few of you should go and rest."

"Many thanks for Young Lord's concern. However, Lin Qing's strength is indeed too great. If I'm not careful and she finds an opportunity, I'm afraid that it would be too late." A tanned man with slightly wrinkled skin hummed as he spoke.

Hearing the words of this tanned man, the other two men also mustered up their spirits.

Having read up to this point, Chen He was very satisfied. What he had said just now was nothing more than a polite remark from Chen He. After all, he was extremely precious to his own life.

Although Liu Ming thought this in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, a grateful expression appeared on his face as he said, "I really do not know what I should do if all of you treat me like this."

Hearing Chen He's words, the three men revealed a smile and waved their hands saying, "You are Lord Chen Ming's little brother. We must do our best to protect you."

"Good, as expected of brother's brother, truly a hero. However, rest is still necessary, this way, two of you will guard me while the other one will return to rest. When the time is right, I will replace them."

The three of them looked to one another and nodded their heads. Although they were able to stand in this place and rest, it was still different from the rest. As for the method Chen He mentioned, it was indeed feasible.

"Okay, we'll do as the young master says." The three of them clasped their fists and said.

On the outer perimeter, Lin Qing watched for a short while before one of the three men guarding Chen He walked out.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qing did not make a move. Instead, she quietly waited.

After an unknown period of time, he waited for the man to return and saw another man walk out.

Seeing this, Lin Qing faintly guessed that it was probably the "change of shifts".

Thinking of this, Lin Qing's eyes couldn't help but light up. She had been bitterly waiting. Wasn't this the opportunity she was waiting for?

Narrowing her eyes, Lin Qing's figure flashed as she followed closely behind the man.

After three cycles and four cycles, Lin Qing finally arrived in front of a house after a short while.

When he reached the front of the house, just as the man was about to enter, he suddenly felt something and his expression changed as he dashed to the side.

A sword light flashed down like a bolt of lightning, and the silhouette disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As the sword beams slashed through the air, Lin Qing's figure appeared behind his back.

His instinct for life and his years of experience in sensing danger allowed him to escape Lin Qing's fatal blow.

Even so, when this man felt the cold intent emanating from Lin Qing's sword, he felt a lingering fear in his heart. If he was struck by Lin Qing's sword just now, he would have died.
