”The poison section is on the second shelf of the third floor's study. There should be something you want inside.” The old man shook his head, trying to dispel the confusion in his heart as he spoke warmly.

”Thank you, Old Book. Old Book will continue to be busy. I will not disturb you.” Lin Qing bowed respectfully and passed by the Old Book, heading towards the study on the third floor.

The Elder glanced at Lin Qing who had entered the study and shook his head. He then looked at the tattered silk paper in his hand and sighed.

After a quarter of an hour, Lin Qing followed the directions of the old man and arrived at the third level of the study. Indeed, as the old man had said, the books here were all about poison.

”The Three Flowers Poison”, a book that exuded the scent of a book, was flipped over by Lin Qing's fingertip. With a slight frown, Lin Qing finally shook her head. This was not the book she was looking for.

Lin Qing's expression darkened as she flipped through all the poison books, yet she still couldn't find the poison book she was looking for.

Thinking of Zhao Hu's threat, Lin Qing felt as if she was choked in her throat as she put down the ”lost energy” book in her hands. Lin Qing's expression was ugly as she muttered: ”Don't tell me that from now on, I can only live under Zhao Hu's threat, and life and death will be decided by the thoughts of others”?

”Ai.” With a sigh, Lin Qing couldn't help but say that Zhao Hu was skilled. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to escape Zhao Hu's grasp within a short period of time.

”Halfway through,” a poison book appeared before Lin Qing's eyes, causing her eyes to light up as she hurriedly opened it.

”The deities are sad, but the poison is naturally effeminate. If it is not treated as soon as possible, like the pain of the bones being attached to one's body, the clear energy in one's body will slowly dissipate, and even if one is at the pinnacle of talent, they will eventually fall to the mortal realm.” This was the medicinal properties of the poison, causing Lin Qing's eyelids to twitch.

If he were to give Ye Liangchen a half a step, even an expert at the fifth level of talent would not be able to escape the fate of becoming a mortal. If Ye Liangchen were to become a mortal, what would happen to him …

Thinking to this point, Lin Qing did not dare to think about it anymore. Although Ye Liangchen had helped her out a lot in her life, from being a refugee to being a Branch Lord, Lin Qing had done her best in the past three years. For the Tiger Gang to have such a huge development, she had at least 50% of it.

Afterwards, Lin Qing once again hid in the study room and looked for a long time before finally smiling helplessly. In the end, she still could not find any information regarding the black-colored pill that Zhao Hu gave her last night.

”Forget it. If I can find a way to break it so easily, Zhao Hu would not be so confident of me. Moreover, the value of my use is quite high. The future development of the sect will definitely require my advice and there should not be any danger to my life.” Lin Qing consoled herself.

However, just like that, Lin Qing was still unwilling to give up under Zhao Hu's control. It was just that there were some matters which eventually revealed her helplessness and did not rely on her will to be transferred.

Since he couldn't find it, he might as well not find it. Since he had stirred up too much trouble, he might as well find another opportunity in the future.

After she understood all of this, Lin Qing sighed lightly. She put down the book on the half-step poison and walked out of the hidden study.

As she passed by Old Book, Lin Qing respectfully greeted him as if she was saying her goodbyes.

”Qing Zi, have you found a book that you want to read?” The old man who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Qing gently.

”Not yet …” Lin Qing bitterly smiled as she looked at the warm smile on the book elder's face.
