"Oh, if it's actually like this, then I'll be here today as well. You can call him over and see what's going on." A cold light flashed across Lin Qing's eyes. Through Huang Shan's actions, she faintly felt that he had made a breakthrough and that he could suppress the restlessness within the sect for a short period of time.

"Yes, Branch Lord." Wen Xueqi saluted respectfully and then left.

The room was silent. Lin Qing was left alone, frowning as if deep in thought. No one knew what she was thinking about.

After a short while, Wen Xueqi led Huang Shan over. Seeing the look in Huang Shan's eyes, as well as the excitement in them, Lin Qing's heart trembled slightly.

"Subordinate Huang Shan greets the Branch Lord, Branch Lord Hong Futian, and Immortal fortune forever." As soon as Huang Shan saw Lin Qing, he immediately bowed and said respectfully.

"I don't like flattery here, so you should get up." Although Lin Qing was happy to see Huang Shan's actions, her expression and attitude were completely different.

"I heard that you wanted to borrow some men from Deacon Wen. But for what reason?" Lin Qing asked in a deep voice, her eyes shining as she stared intently at Huang Shan.

Huang Shan was greatly alarmed when he heard this. He could not help but cast his gaze towards Wen Xueqi. When he saw that Wen Xueqi was listening to his nose and looking at his heart, he could not help but feel resentment in his heart.

However, at this moment, in response to Lin Qing's question, Huang Shan had no choice but to say that he had wanted to wait until things were clearer before reporting to Lin Qing. With Lin Qing's personality, he would surely settle the grudge between him and Qin Fu.

"Reporting to the Branch Lord, this subordinate does have plans to borrow some men from Deacon Wen." Huang Shan did not dare hesitate as he quickly replied.

"But for what reason …" Lin Qing had already made a guess in her heart. However, in the end, he still had to wait for Huang Shan's final result.

"Reporting to the Branch Lord, this subordinate has discovered that the person in charge of the Sect's money, Qin Fu, is not only well-off in his own right, but has also recently discovered that he is in close contact with a deacon from the Green Bamboo Gang of the Red Leaf Town." Reporting to the Branch Lord, this subordinate has discovered that the person in charge of the Sect's money, Qin Fu, is not only well-off in his own right, and has recently discovered that he has very close ties with a deacon from the Green Bamboo Gang of the Red Leaf Town.

When she heard this, Lin Qing's gaze involuntarily turned stern. With a solemn gaze, she solemnly said, "This matter is true."

"Your subordinate may have a personal grudge with that Qin Fu, but I truly do not dare to deceive the Branch Lord in this aspect. I hope that Branch Lord can inspect this matter." Huang Shan hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully.

Lin Qing's eyes were calm as she stared at Huang Shan. After a long time, she finally said, "You should get up first."

"Yes, Branch Lord," Huang Shan replied respectfully as he stood up and said.

Frowning, Lin Qingfang said with a grave expression on her face, "Is there any conclusive evidence?"

"If my expectations are not wrong, then today, that Qin Fu will receive Red Leaf Town's Green Bamboo Gang Division's Deacon Zhao Yun. When the time comes, he won't be able to fight back, and he, Qin Fu, won't have any chance to resist." Hearing this, joy flashed across Huang Shan's eyes as he quickly said.

"Hmph, Qin Fu, you really do have a path to walk in heaven. Hell has no door, so you have to break it. After tonight, I want to see how you defend yourself." Lin Qing's eyes flashed with a cold light as she spoke.

"The Branch Lord is wise," Huang Shan quickly chimed in.

Slightly glancing at Huang Shan, Lin Qing did not express anything. Instead, she indifferently said, "How are the preparations for tomorrow's gathering hall meeting?"

"Reporting to the Branch Lord, everything has been arranged and will be ready by noon tomorrow." Huang Shan looked carefully at Lin Qing. Seeing that her eyes were focused as if she was deep in thought, he couldn't help but speak out repeatedly.

"Humph, in that case, there will be a big show to watch tomorrow at the gathering. Tomorrow, I will let him witness the price for betraying me, Lin Qing!" Lin Qing viciously muttered to himself.

With that, Lin Qing turned to Wen Xueqi and said, "Deacon Wen, arrange for a few people to assist Huang Shan."

"Yes, Branch Lord," Wen Xueqi respectfully cupped her fist and said.

"This subordinate thanks the Branch Lord," Huang Shan could not help but say with a happy expression on his face.

"Hmph, just like that, I can't be at ease. With your strength, you might not even be Qin Fu's match. Don't get yourself involved before you succeed." Lin Qing coldly snorted and said in a light tone.

"Even if I have to die for sure, I must complete this task, and not drag down the Branch Lord!" Huang Shan's gaze darkened, but he quickly expressed his loyalty.

"This is just a competition of words. Tonight, I will personally stand guard. You can go and make the necessary arrangements. Don't spread the news and scare the snake. You might not get the chance to do so next time." Lin Qing said with a trace of solemnity.

"Yes, Branch Lord. This subordinate will arrange it right away. I definitely won't let any news of this operation leak out." Huang Shan hurriedly declared.

"You can go and make the arrangements first." Lin Qing waved her hand, indicating that he should leave first.

Huang Shan bowed once more before turning around and leaving. His movements were extremely imposing, clearly showing that he was in a good mood.

Seeing Huang Shan's departing back, Lin Qing's eyebrows creased slightly. It was unknown as to what she was thinking.

"Is the Branch Lord worried about tonight's operation?" Wen Xueqi asked in concern when she saw Lin Qing's frown.

"As for tonight, I don't have anything to worry about, although Qin Fu's strength is pretty good, it's nothing more than that, I'm just worried about Qu Ming from the Green Bamboo Gang in Red Leaf Town. It's said that he's very strong, and even three talented warriors are not his match, which makes my heart somewhat bumpy." Looking at Wen Xueqi's concerned eyes, Lin Qing finally voiced out her true thoughts.

"Helmsman need not worry too much. Rumor has it that Qu Ming and his men from the gang attacked and died together. Perhaps Qu Ming is not as strong as what is rumored to be." Wen Xueqi did not know what to think, so she could only say this.

"Hmph, a talented warrior isn't that simple. If he wanted to escape, how could those ordinary gang members be able to? Qu Ming is actually able to kill a talented warrior with just an ordinary martial artist. This person is not simple." Lin Qing coldly snorted as he casually said.

When Wen Xueqi heard this, she was also speechless. In regards to Qu Ming from the Green Bamboo Gang of Red Leaf Town, she also had a faint fear in her heart.

Rumor had it that all the women of Qu Ming's family had been taken into Qu Ming's family. They were being tortured day and night without end as they howled miserably.

It was not as if no one had gone to stop Qu Ming's atrocities. After all, in an era of martial arts violations, the people in the government would still dare to fight and kill even when their blood was boiling, let alone a trifling gang of villains.

Unfortunately, those who went to stop Qu Ming were all dead, and they died miserable deaths. Gradually, no one dared to interfere, and the might of Qu Ming slowly spread throughout Red Leaf Town. Anyone who wanted to deal with Qu Ming had to consider their own strength.
