Hearing the coldness in Lin Qing's voice, Huang Shan's heart couldn't help but tremble. Since he couldn't control his body and knelt down, he fearfully said, "This subordinate has done something unfavorable, I ask for punishment."

Lin Qing's face was expressionless. His right hand gently stroked the sharp sword in his hand as his finger gently flicked. "Clang!" A metallic sound reverberated by his ear.

His face turned pale. Although he did not believe that Lin Qing would kill him because of such a trivial matter, he could not help but reveal a terrified expression when he saw Lin Qing lightly flicking her finger on her sword.

"Although this failure is understandable, this failure is still a failure. There is no reason for failure. If you fail, you will be punished!" The corners of Lin Qing's lips curled upwards as she spoke.

"As long as you are punished by the Branch Lord, this subordinate will not complain." Huang Shan's face was slightly pale, and there was a trace of deep worry in his eyes. However, he still spoke.

With a "hmph" sound, Lin Qing's fingers gripped the sharp sword, and with a "keng qiang" sound, the sharp sword was sheathed within the scabbard.

Looking at the somewhat pale Huang Shan, Lin Qing finally said, "You've actually failed and there's always a punishment for it. Moreover, this failure isn't all your fault. I'll just punish you with a salary of two months."

Hearing this, Huang Shan could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, a salary of two months was not a big punishment for Huang Shan. At the same time, Huang Shan also knew that Lin Qing was taking advantage of him and did not wish to punish him too harshly.

With a soft "En" sound, Lin Qing was quite satisfied with Huang Shan's tactful attitude.

"Branch Lord, this subordinate has something to say. I'm not sure if I should say it," Huang Shan said softly, hesitating. He lifted his head to look at Lin Qing and saw that she was immersed in his gaze.

After slightly glancing at Huang Shan, Lin Qing seemed to ponder for a moment, before saying: "If there's anything, why not say it directly, beating around the bush isn't good in my eyes." Her tone contained a hint of ridicule, causing Huang Shan to uncontrollably relax.

"When this subordinate passed down the Branch Lord's Decree, a few people in the Division were really bold, not only were there some doubts about the Division Lord's Decree, they even believed that it was the fault of the Headquarters that the Division Lord of Red Leaf Town was sent here. They even threatened to report this to the Headquarters and remove the Branch Lord's position in Red Leaf Town." Huang Shan hesitated for a moment, and a trace of coldness was hidden deep in his eyes, as if he had an unspeakable hatred towards these people.

Lin Qing turned her head to look at the sky, leaving Huang Shan with a proud and aloof figure. Yu Yu was walking alone with a sword in his hand.

"Who are they? Tell me everything, one at a time." His voice was faint, seemingly emotionless, yet seemingly filled with killing intent. He leisurely walked over, causing Huang Shan's heart to calm down.

Huang Shan immediately clasped his hands and said, "Helmsman Qi is mainly Qin Fu, who manages the distribution of money. Xue Xie, who is in charge of training the group, is in charge of the provision of living materials …"

As Lin Qing listened to Huang Shan's explanation, she narrowed her eyes. A cold light burst out, carrying a thick killing intent.

"Hehe …" "Looks like there are a lot of people who oppose me in the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang. They are all people with real power. This has really opened my eyes." Lin Qing sneered. Her tone was cold, like it was from the depths of hell.

"That is because they are blind and do not recognize Mt. Tai. As long as they see the strength of the Branch Lord, they would not dare to act rashly." Huang Shan echoed Lin Qing's words.

Turning around, he stared at Huang Shan with a faint trace of confusion in his eyes. It was unknown what Lin Qing was thinking about.

Huang Shan's face stiffened. His forehead seemed to be dripping with cold sweat. His mouth could not help but freeze as he said somewhat fearfully, "Helmmaster, I wonder if there is something wrong with my words?"

"You didn't say anything wrong. I'm afraid that there are several people among the people you've listed who have personal grudges against you right?" Lin Qing's tone was unhurried, causing others to be unable to discern the slightest bit of emotion within her.

The more it was like this, the more scared Huang Shan felt. He quickly knelt down and said: "Branch Lord is very clear, there are indeed a few people who have a personal grudge with your subordinate, but your loyalty to the Branch Lord can be seen by the heaven and earth …" On his forehead, cold sweat was already dripping down, but Huang Shan did not even dare to wipe it, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Lin Qing slightly raised her hand, and Huang Shan immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say a word.

After a long time, Lin Qing finally said in a leisurely manner, "I don't care how many of the people you spoke of were fake or real, but these people will all have to pay the price. But the next time I see something similar, don't blame me for not agreeing to it with my sword." Lin Qing pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword, and with a clanging sound, her sword flew out of its scabbard as a cold light burst out, and a rock in front of Lin Qing suddenly exploded, splitting into two halves.

The moment the sword was unsheathed, its power caused Huang Shan, who was kneeling down, to feel his heart palpitate and his reverence deepened.

"Your subordinate is guilty. Your subordinate will no longer try to deceive the Branch Lord," Huang Shan hurriedly said, lowering his head.

Lin Qing gave a light "hmph" as he gazed at the kneeling Yellow Mountain. Inevitably, there was a feeling of elation in Lin Qing's heart. With such power in her hands, her words could decide the fate of others.

With her own strength, she was still too weak. Although she was already a talented warrior, there were also quite a few people who were more accomplished than her. There was no need to indulge in these kinds of things, and deep in her heart, there was a desire to pursue immortality. Although this right was good, it was not what Lin Qing sought.

"You can get up now and not act like this the next time. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you." Lin Qing restrained the emotions in her heart as she calmly said.

Huang Shan knew that he had escaped a calamity, and when he thought of this, his heart relaxed. He quickly stood up and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his hand, feeling that his entire body was wet.

"I want to call a meeting of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang. Go call all the core members of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang, especially the people you talked about. They can't be missing." Lin Qing's voice was dark and filled with killing intent.

"Yes, Branch Lord!" Huang Shan heard this and hurried to bow, his eyes containing a trace of joy. How could Huang Shan not understand the meaning behind Lin Qing's words? When he thought of the people he did not want to go against and end up in front of him, Huang Shan felt a strong sense of joy.
