Without mentioning the person Qu Ming had injured, Lin Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, also opened her eyes at this moment. She looked forward with a hint of coldness in her gaze.

With a "Peng" sound, the door to the courtyard opened with a loud bang, scattering all the dust in the room.

Qu Ming's figure appeared, unspeakably unruly.

"Where's Lin Qing? Why haven't we seen him?" Qu Ming was shouting wildly in the courtyard.

Huang Shan was also startled by the commotion within the courtyard. When he saw the source of the commotion, his expression changed.

"Oh, so it's Lord Qu Ming. I've heard a lot about you." Huang Shan said with a smile, appearing to be very pleased.

It was clear that Qu Ming did not pay any attention to Huang Shan. Instead, he looked around but did not see anyone he wanted to meet. His expression became more and more unsightly.

"Deacon Huang, could it be that you're trying to amuse me by inviting me here, but why haven't I seen you?" Qu Ming gloomily looked at Huang Shan, and from this, one could see the anger in Qu Ming's heart. He could even imagine how Qu Ming would instantly behead Huang Shan if he didn't give a proper answer.

Just as Huang Shan was in a dilemma, a faint voice came from the room.

"I have been waiting for Fellow Qu for a long time, but Fellow Qu's various methods today have been a bit too much."

Following the sound of his voice, Lin Qing's silhouette also walked out.

"I thought you were going to keep hiding? "I am not disappointed." Qu Ming smiled when he saw that Lin Qing had come out.

Lin Qing merely smiled coldly and did not reply. However, the coldness in her eyes grew increasingly stronger.

"Lord Qu, please enter the house." At this point, Huang Shan hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said to Qu Ming.

Qu Ming let out a "hmph" before leading the way into the room.

Lin Qing shook her head and followed him in.

The moment Qu Ming entered the room, he took the main seat without a care for Lin Qing's increasingly unsightly expression.

"Helmsman Lin, why did you invite me here today?" Qu Ming looked at Lin Qing coldly and said with a trace of ridicule.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Today, I invited Dao Friend Qu to discuss how to deal with the government." Lin Qing indifferently said.

"Sure, sure, but before that, you have to answer me. Where did you hide Lin Susu?" Qu Ming slammed the table and said with a hint of anger.

Frowning, Lin Qing coldly replied, "Relax, there's nothing going on right now."

"I just want to know where he is right now." Qu Ming squinted his eyes, a trace of killing intent materializing in his eyes.

When she felt this, Lin Qing's eyes also turned cold. Tolerance did not mean that Lin Qing was easy to bully. It was just that she did not want to cause any sort of dirty trouble before this because of their cooperation.

However, it was obvious that Lin Qing's patience had been exchanged for Qu Ming's threats.

Since that was the case, why would Lin Qing tolerate it?

"I will not keep fellow Daoist Qu in suspense." Lin Qing lowered her head, played with the sharp sword in her hand as she indifferently replied.

"A month ago, did you bring Lin Su Su Su out of Red Leaf Town? And now that you've returned, where exactly did you hide her?" Qu Ming squinted his eyes and leaned forward, a thick sense of threat assaulting his senses.

"Hmph!" With a 'clang' sound, Lin Qing drew her sword and lightly said, "I have come to discuss matters with you today. If you are unwilling to discuss matters with me, then you can leave. If you want to cause trouble, then I will accompany you to the end."

Hehehe …

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Helmsman Lin is getting bolder and bolder. Today, I, Qu, have come here to cause trouble. Why don't you accept this?" Qu Ming let out a long sneer before replying.

"In that case, there's nothing left to say." Lin Qing's expression darkened. She had not expected Qu Ming to be so arrogant after not seeing him for more than a month.

"What, you, Branch Lord Lin, want to challenge me? You lost to me before, and now you still dare to speak bravely?" Qu Ming taunted.

When Lin Qing heard this, he was so angry that he actually laughed: "Good, good, you, Qu Ming, actually did not care about the situation. How could I, Lin Qing, not accompany you until the end?"

After speaking, Lin Qing raised her sword as she coldly stated, "Take out your sword."

Slightly shifting his gaze, Qu Ming coldly laughed, "To deal with you, I still have to use my sword!"

"Good, good, good. Today, I want to see how you were tricked by this big fan!" Lin Qing furiously exclaimed.

After he had finished speaking, a cold light appeared, and a sword light shot down like a bolt of thunder, heading straight for Qu Ming's head.

The sword intent of this sword was extremely powerful, yet when it swung out, it was actually soundless, such a quiet sound, forming an intense opposition to the vast sword aura. It gave off an extremely awkward feeling, and this awkwardness seemed to reach a certain equilibrium.

After Qu Ming had unsheathed his sword, his expression changed.

His feet stomped on the ground and his entire body retreated backwards. At the same time, his entire body suddenly fell back.

"Boom!"

With a "Zi La" sound, the table in front of Qu Ming also broke into two pieces. The cut surface was smooth like a flat mirror.

Lin Qing was not surprised that the sword did not hit Qu Ming. If Qu Ming only had this little strength, he would not be worthy of Lin Qing making such a big fuss.

With a step, Lin Qing also soared up like the wind. When she saw Qu Ming approaching her, the sword in her hand had already been handed over in an instant.

"Humph!"

In the face of danger, Qu Ming also retracted the look of contempt in his eyes. His eyeballs bulged out, and the muscles on his arms suddenly expanded. They immediately turned a bluish-black color, and a faint metallic feeling circulated around them.

With a cold shout, Qu Ming spread his arms wide in front of his chest.

"Ding!" A metallic sound rang out in front of Qu Ming, and a rebound force came from the sword. It shook Lin Qing, causing her to stagger back a few steps, and she couldn't help but breathe out a few mouthfuls of air.

Even so, Qu Ming, who had yet to use his weapon, was in an even more miserable state.

On his greenish black arms, a stream of blood flowed down, giving off a thick scarlet hue. His expression changed, and faint red and white alternated. Suddenly, he seemed to be unable to endure it any longer, and with a "puchi" sound, he spat out a mouthful of thick blood from his throat.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud, her voice filled with boundless satisfaction.

"Why, this is the strength of you, Qu Ming. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like much."

Ignoring Lin Qing's taunts, Qu Ming looked at Lin Qing with shock in his eyes. His eyes were filled with disbelief, but the reality of what had just happened forced Qu Ming to face the reality. The drop in his heart, however, made Qu Ming uncomfortable.
