A cold and gloomy wind blew in through the only window of the cell. The cold wind blew into the thin clothes of the cell, giving it a bone piercing chill.

Time flowed by, another month passed by in the blink of an eye. There were only 30 days left until the day of the Sword of Truth, Autumn's Sword of Truth. Seeing how urgent the days were, Lin Qing's mood became increasingly irritable.

"No, I have to find a way to get to the other side of the cell as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't have any chance at all." Lin Qing followed the window and looked outside as she muttered.

"However, how do you act? How can you not attract the attention of others? This is a matter of life and death. I will not dare to be negligent." Thinking of the day that would soon come, Lin Qing's heart tensed up.

"Ta, ta, ta." The sound of footsteps could be heard again. It was the day the guards brought him food.

With a scar on his face, a prison warden walked over with a plate in his hand. When he approached Lin Qing's position, he unconsciously frowned.

Lin Qing's eyes lit up as she knew that the opportunity had come. After a month or two of hard work, the prison warden was no longer cold towards her. Although he was unwilling to acknowledge her, it was still much better than before.

"Time to get up and eat," yelled the prison guard with a scar on his face. He then threw the food into the cell.

"Sir, you're here. How have you been?" Lin Qing Yi said coquettishly as she stood up excitedly.

"Not bad." The jailer still had a look of enjoyment on his face, obviously enjoying Lin Qing's compliment.

"Master, this is a family heirloom jade pendant. I know I won't be able to live long, I'm afraid I can't …" "But big brother's fate is great, so he's the most suitable for this jade pendant. He's here to deliver it to my lord." Seeing that the jailer did not ignore her as usual, Lin Qing's eyes lit up and she quickly took out a phoenix shaped jade pendant from her bosom.

The jade pendant was translucent and sparkled under the weak light. It looked even more dignified under the magnificent beauty. The phoenix shaped pendant gave people a feeling of it spreading its wings and soaring high into the sky. It was clearly a valuable treasure …

Scarface's eyes couldn't help but light up, revealing a greedy look. He glanced at Lin Qing with a satisfied expression.

However, Lin Qing had hidden it well, knowing that under the roof, she had no choice but to lower her head, no matter how reluctant she was in her heart, compared to her own life, a jade pendant was clearly worth it. The key was that Lin Qing was a little worried that the jailer would take the item but not do anything about it.

"Not bad, you little rascal." Looking at the shiny jade pendant, the jailer finally could not endure the greed in his heart and extended his hand to receive the jade pendant.

The jade piece felt cool to the touch, and a cool feeling spread out from it, causing one's entire body to feel refreshed.

"Good jade pendant," the guard couldn't help but say as he held the jade pendant in his hand.

Lin Qing stood respectfully at the side, looking at the jailer with a troubled expression. He looked like he wanted to say something, but was hesitant to do so.

After playing with the jade pendant for a long time, the scar-faced jailer finally shifted his gaze to Lin Qing, and said after pondering for a while, "Tell me, what do you need me to do? But I have to remind you, if you exceed my expectations, not only will this jade pendant not return, but it will also be impossible for me to do anything for you."

The prison warden was obviously a sly old fox. He knew that Lin Qing had a request for such a heirloom. Otherwise, why would she give him such a precious treasure for no reason?

"Yes, yes, yes, this little one knows!" Lin Qing's expression relaxed as she lowered her head and replied with fear and trepidation.

"Speak, your grandpa's time is limited." After receiving the jade pendant, the jailer was in a much better mood. Although he didn't have any good intentions towards Lin Qing, he was still willing to do her a small favor.

"Yes, yes, yes, I do have some matters to ask of you, please grant me your wish, sir." Lin Qing lowered her head and respectfully said.

"Ever since I entered the prison, I have no one to rely on. Thanks to my brother in prison, I am very grateful. I know that I don't have much time, so I wanted to live in the opposite cell for a few nights. Let's talk for a while, may I know …" With that, Lin Qing looked at the scar-faced jailer, not knowing what he meant.

"Why …" The word "hard" had yet to be spoken when the jailer looked suspiciously at Lin Qing and then at the cell where Lin Biao was. He seemed to have sensed something.

"I am powerless, the day of my execution is near, it is not easy to find a close friend. I can only hope that before I die, I will be able to chat with him for a while. Although there is a fence between us, it does not affect our conversation." Seeing that the jailer seemed to be confused, Lin Qing quickly explained, afraid that the jailer would suspect that she had something to do with running away.

"Oh, so it's like that. For the sake of the jade pendant, I'll allow you then." Thinking that there shouldn't be any problems, the scar-faced jailer nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, big brother, thank you for your tolerance …" Lin Qing was overjoyed when she heard this. She immediately clasped her hands at the scar-faced jailer and said respectfully.

It was, after all, just a small matter, not a big deal. It was just that he did not know that this was the kind of negligence that caused the heroes of his generation to begin their own journey. After so many years, they would finally overlook the mountains and all living things would surrender to them and become the emperors of the world.

"I will give you another cell tomorrow. You can stay inside." Scar face said impatiently as he rubbed the jade pendant in his hand. He turned around and left, obviously not willing to stay here any longer.

"Thank you, big brother prison guard …" Lin Qing respectfully performed a hand gesture, lowered her head, and said coquettishly.

After the scar-faced jailer's figure completely disappeared from his line of sight, Lin Qing's facial expression changed. The smile she had on her face completely disappeared, replaced with a cold look in her eyes.

"There will be a day when I will not be so lowly. A day when others look at me with such fear, and there will be a day when I will also become the ruler of that power." Lin Qing clenched her fists as she muttered to herself.

A cold gust of wind blew through the only window in the cell, the cold wind pierced into Lin Qing's bones, causing her entire body to feel a chill. Her original heroic spirit seemed to have been blown away by this cold wind, and the rumbling thunder suddenly rang out, just like the rain of two months, when the thunder and lightning struck, in that moment, the world seemed to have changed a lot.
