Zhao Hu, who was enjoying it with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the two young girls that were radiating boundless energy. He gently waved his hand and said, ”You may leave.”

”Yes, Master.” A voice as light as an oriole came out from the two green mouths. With a slight bow, they revealed a large portion of their tender and fair skin before slowly walking away.

The attendant who had just walked in saw what had happened and could not help but feel his throat twitch. However, as if he was afraid of something, he quickly lowered his head.

”What's going on?” Zhao Hu flicked a glance at the attendant, causing his heart to skip a beat.

”Master Ling, Helmsman Lin just stayed outside Sect Leader Ye's room for a long time, but he did not enter.” The servant did not dare to slight him and respectfully replied.

”Yes, I understand. You may leave.” Zhao Hu pondered for a moment before waving his hand and speaking plainly.

”Yes, Master.” The attendant did not dare delay any further, bowing respectfully before leaving.

Zhao Hu pointed a finger at his chin and sneered. He then closed his eyes again, as if this matter was just a small interlude.

Lin Qing was walking on the road, completely unaware that her every action was being monitored by someone. If she knew about this, she would probably have a completely different mindset.

Soon, Lin Qing arrived at the entrance of the Tiger Gang's hidden study room. This was a place that Lin Qing loved to visit. In these three years, Lin Qing was extremely familiar with this place.

Standing guard in front of the library was a white-haired old man. The skin on his face was tightly creased, and the passage of time had undoubtedly shown itself on this old man.

”Qing Zi is here to look for a book again. What kind of book do you want to read this time? How's the understanding of your talent from last time?” The white-haired old man looked at Lin Qing and revealed a gentle smile, as if he was looking at his young self.

”En, Old Book, I have finished reading the innate talent manual. However, there are some things that I still cannot understand completely. As for this book, I would like to find some books on poisons, I don't know …” Lin Qing gently smiled as she said.

Regardless of whether it was his knowledge level or his foresight, Lin Qing respected him greatly. It was said that when he was young, he was also a talented warrior, but it was a pity that he had been set up by people.

”The 'Classic of Talent' technique may seem shallow, but it contains great wisdom and great experience. For you to be able to think about it seriously is not bad.” The old man glanced at Lin Qing in surprise.

”What a pity, what a pity. If you could become a talented warrior, then your achievements would not be limited to your current abilities …” The old man seemed to have thought of something and sighed.

It was just that the Great Dao was merciless, and sometimes, one couldn't accomplish it by just effort. Thinking of this, Lin Qing clenched her fists even tighter, and the bitterness in her mouth filled her heart as she asked who she was talking to.

Would he give up? Will they compromise?

Lin Qing shook her head. It was as if she thought of her dreams, the helplessness of her cell, and her cowardice along the way. In the end, Lin Qing knew that she had not given up.

Looking at Lin Qing, the old man could not help but think of his young self. The same youthful ambition, but a cruel reality. In the end, it still pressed down on his spine.
