No matter what Qu Ming thought, the reality in front of him made him look straight at him.

After a long while, Qu Ming took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions and said, "You've broken through to the third level of the Genius Warrior Realm."

As Qu Ming finished speaking, Huang Shan, who was standing to the side, was also stunned, before revealing an ecstatic look on his face. If the Branch Lord were to reach the third level of a talented warrior, then the current Tiger Faction would not be afraid of the Green Bamboo Gang.

"That's right, I've also broken through to the 3rd level of the Genius Warrior level. If not, how would I dare to be on equal footing with you?" Lin Qing coldly said. At this point, Lin Qing did not want to cause a ruckus with Qu Ming.

However, as Lin Qing's words faded, Qu Ming became even angrier. He said angrily, "Did you already steal Lin Susu's virginity? Otherwise, how could her cultivation have risen so fast?"

Lin Qing was slightly startled. She did not expect Qu Ming to have this kind of thought. However, she instantly understood.

Lin Susu's Cauldron body did indeed have endless uses. Otherwise, the Free and Unrestrained Faction's Master Lin wouldn't have done such an abnormal thing in the past.

However, even though she knew that Lin Susu's virgin vital yin was extremely beneficial to her if she obtained it, how could Lin Qing forget about her little sister's act of saving her life that day? Therefore, even though Lin Qing did have a trace of ill will in her heart, she was able to suppress it very quickly.

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I, Lin Susu, have not touched it at all." Lin Qing took a light breath and said.

"Then tell me, how did your cultivation increase so quickly? Not to mention that you broke through in a month of hard work." Qu Ming said with a dark expression.

"If it was only a month of hard work, I would not have been able to train in the 3rd level of the Genius Warrior realm. But luckily, during this period of time, I obtained some opportunities, which is why I was lucky enough to enter the 3rd level of the Genius Warrior realm. As for what opportunities there are, there is no need to tell you, right?" Lin Qing calmly explained.

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Qu Ming looked back and forth between Lin Qing and him with suspicion. Seeing that Lin Qing didn't seem to be lying, he finally said, "This way, I'll believe you for the time being."

Actually, at this point, even if Qu Ming didn't believe him, there was nothing he could do.

Obviously, Qu Ming understood this logic.

Regarding this, Lin Qing did not reveal anything. Currently, there were still things that she needed to work with Qu Ming on, and it was even more impossible for her to shed all pretense of cordiality with Qu Ming.

"Then, what does Fellow Qu plan to do next?" Lin Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, held the sharp sword in her hand and said coldly.

After taking a deep breath, Qu Ming calmed the surging emotions in his heart and said, "Speak, why have you come looking for me today?"

Seeing this, Lin Qing also revealed a smile. With a wave of her hand, the sharp sword was sheathed at Lin Qing's waist.

"This time, the reason why I came to find you was to discuss with you how to deal with the government. I'm guessing that you've had enough of sneaking around like that." A cold light flashed in Lin Qing's eyes as he said with a hint of malice.

"Helmsman Lin's meaning is …" Qu Ming hesitated before replying.

Coldness filled her eyes. Lin Qing waved her hand at her neck and did not say anything else.

Qu Ming fell silent.

Lin Qing was already prepared for this, so she wasn't surprised. Hence, she quietly sat to the side and waited.

In fact, this was a difficult choice to make for Qu Ming to take care of the officials. However, it would be difficult for Qu Ming to kill the officials.

Although the martial force of the martial world was strong, it was still a piece of loose sand, and it was impossible for it to fight against the imperial government. If they killed Long Xiaotian, this act of killing an official would stir the nerves of the Chu Country, and the Chu Country would definitely not let go of this person who did not put their dignity in front of them, suppressing him ruthlessly.

After a long while, Qu Ming shook his head, the meaning was clear to him.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing was not surprised at all. Although Qu Ming seemed to have a Devil Sect cultivator behind him, there was an entire Immortal Cultivation Sect behind Chu. If that Devil Sect cultivator wasn't stupid, he definitely wouldn't be willing to go against him.

Actually, the reason why Lin Qing made Qu Ming think that he wanted to kill Long Xiao Tian was because of his own considerations.

Even if Qu Ming refused, it would be a good thing for Lin Qing. After all, in her heart, she wasn't prepared to face the government's counterattack after killing Long Xiao Tian.

Qu Ming rejected Lin Qing once, then felt embarrassed to reject her a second time. This was one of Lin Qing's true intentions.

"Since Fellow Qu is unwilling, then I, Lin Qing, will not force you either. However, I think that Long Xiaotian will not let us go. I wonder how Fellow Qu will deal with this?" Lin Qing questioned coldly.

Qu Ming's eyes turned grim. Moments later, he regained his composure and said, "Then how does Branch Chief Lin plan to deal with this situation?"

"If it was the past, we would not be able to do anything to Long Xiao Tian even if we wanted to. But now?" Lin Qing grunted.

"And now?" Qu Ming asked.

"Now that I've broken through to the third level of the Genius Warrior realm, no matter how strong Long Xiaotian is, he's still not a match for us. At that time, whether we kill him or cut him up, we can speak of our freedom." Lin Qing stared at Qu Ming, the meaning hidden within it was obvious to all.

Qu Ming also took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then I will advance and retreat together with Branch Lord Lin."

"In that case, it's done." Lin Qing clapped her hands and said with a smile.

Qu Ming nodded with a smile on his face. A moment ago, he had been an enemy with a sword drawn. Now, he was shaking hands and talking.

"Since we have already cooperated, then I will say it directly. If my guess is correct, the government is probably on the way. I believe that after a while, we will face Long Xiao Tian." Lin Qing said with a smile.

Qu Ming was also slightly startled. His face turned cold as he said, "Are you saying that the government is on its way?"

"Exactly." Lin Qing replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qu Ming's expression turned ugly. With a hint of coldness in his voice, he said, "Helmsman Lin, you really are good at scheming."

"We're friends. We're friends." Lin Qing did not deny it, but laughed and said.

It turned out that this time, the government's primary target was the Tiger Gang. If Qu Ming didn't come, Lin Qing would have to take the pressure from the front. But now, Qu Ming had arrived, so Qu Ming couldn't just stand behind him.

All of these schemes and schemes seemed like a small action, but they often contained a different meaning. If one couldn't handle it well, then it could lead to the end of life and death.
