Peerless Queen: Volume 3

By Qing LanZi

Lin Qingshan, who had just entered this world, was acquainted with the first person here, Long Yifeng. A man who was as shy as a fool. Both of them were servants of the Li Family, a famous family in a small town at the eastern border of the Sky Dragon Empire. After getting drunk, the third young master of the Li family coveted Lin QIngshan's beauty.

In a fit of rage, Lin QIngshan castrated the local aristocrat and fled to the central region of the Arthur Continent. After a series of events, he became the first empress of the continent.

CHAPTER 201 - TANG RONGRONG'S PROPOSAL

Lin Qinghan hadn't expected that no one else would object. This surprised her a little. Lin Qing Shan had already prepared a few words to answer everyone's questions. But he didn't expect the result to be like this. However, after thinking for a bit, Lin Qinghan guessed that everyone had yet to react. It was likely that everyone would have other considerations after a period of time.

Guild Leader Qing Shan, have we left the Heavenly Dragon Empire Road and passed through Tianlong City? Suddenly, Tang Rongrong opened her mouth and spoke to Lin Qingshan. As soon as Tang Rongrong finished her words, everyone's gaze fell upon her. Lin Qingshan didn't know what Tang Rongrong meant by that. However, Lin Qinghan still said, Passed by. Rongrong, is there something you need to do in Sky Dragon City? Lin Qingshan couldn't help but wonder if Tang Rongrong was planning to stay in Sky Dragon City.

However, it was clear that Lin Qingshan was thinking too much. After hearing what she said, Tang Rongrong suddenly said to Lin Qingshan, No. I heard that Lie Hongyan went to Blue Ruler City today, so I plan to hire some mercenaries there. I wonder if we could try? " Tang Rongrong's voice held a hint of happiness.

Lie Hongyan was a very famous woman. Although this world was a world where men and women were inferior to each other, because there was someone behind Lie Hongyan, if those people with ulterior motives wanted to find trouble with Lie Hongyan, they would first need to go through the defensive line of experts hired by those who supported her. Tang Rongrong had always wanted to use one thing to improve her position and voice in the Shadow Mercenary Group. Ever since she had joined the Shadow Mercenary Group, she had never given up on this thought.

The method that Tang Rongrong had chosen was to take on a big mission for the Shadow Mercenary Group to achieve her desired goal. Through the organization's intelligence report, Tang Rongrong found out about Lie Hongyan, so during this period of time, Tang Rongrong's gaze never left Lie Hongyan. Even during the time they had left Azure Dragon City and come to Blue Ruler City, Tang Rongrong had been searching for information on Lie Hongyan every day.

It was a coincidence that Lie Hongyan had just arrived at Blue Ruler City today. Tomorrow, she would leave Blue Ruler City and head towards Sky Dragon City. As for Lin Qingyan, she also planned to leave tomorrow. Tang Rongrong couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness. Tang Rongrong knew that it was time for her to contribute. If she didn't catch him this time, then she could only say that she and Lie Hongyan really had no fate to meet. After all, if he passed by her twice in a row, it would only mean this.

Fiery red face? Hearing Tang Rongrong's words, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but speak up. She still remembered Lie Hongyan. She also knew that she had heard of the story Tang Rongrong told her about Lie Hongyan. Lin Qingshan had never thought that Tang Rongrong would still be thinking about the matter of Lie Hongyan. Could it be that Tang Rongrong and Lie Hongyan had an unusual relationship? When she thought of this, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but size up Tang Rongrong from head to toe.

Guild Leader Qing Shan, did you forget? When we were in Azure Dragon City, I told you about her. By escorting Lie Hongyan to Sky Dragon City, it will be very effective in raising the reputation of our Qingying Mercenary Group. I hope you will seriously consider this, Guild Leader Qing Shan. Tang Rongrong thought that Lin QIngshan had forgotten about this person, Lie Hongyan. She immediately heard Tang Rongrong speak.

In Tang Rongrong's opinion, she really hoped that this matter could be accomplished. The strength of the Shadow Mercenary Group was already quite strong, and even though it wasn't a large number of people, they still had several experts leading them. From this perspective, it was a guarantee that the Shadow Mercenary Group could successfully complete the mission of escorting Lie Hongyan.

In addition, the Shadow Mercenary Group was a group that focused mainly on females. If they were to request for a mission to escort Lie Hongyan, there was a high chance that she would agree to it.

After all, women would to a large extent help women. And with her reputation being so resounding, it was only natural that this mission would be the start. In the future, there would definitely be a lot of people who would come to the Shadow Mercenary Group to complete missions. Even if the Shadow Mercenary Group were to move to the center of the Arthur Continent, it would be beneficial to themselves.

When did she leave Blue Ruler City? What is her destination? " After thinking about it for a while, Lin Qingyan felt that this matter was feasible. When she was in Azure Dragon City, she had to worry about Li Si Lin's matters, so she didn't have the time to pay a visit to this woman called Lie Hongyan.

Now that the matter had been resolved, if Lie Hongyan's destination was the city she would pass through, Lin Qingshan would be willing to accept this quest.

After all, the number of the Clear Shadow Mercenaries had reached a certain number, and the cost of funds was not low, so the amount of money they had on them was also very small. Although it could support them for a while, it would definitely cost them more when they reached the middle part of the Arthur Continent. It would be a good thing if he could earn extra money along the way.

More importantly, Lin Qinghan felt that the Shadow Mercenary Group should be taking on a mission now. To Lin Qinghan, the Shadow Mercenary Group was a little loose at the moment, and the tacit understanding between the new and old members was not very strong. Only when the entire Shadow Mercenary Group had established a strong relationship with each other and arrived at the central region of the Arthur Continent and faced an unknown test would Lin Qinghan be more confident.

Otherwise, Lin Qingshan was worried that if the difficulties they faced in the middle of the Arthur Continent were too high, the Shadow Mercenary Group would be dissolved. Lin QIngshan did not want that to happen. Actually, even if Tang Rongrong hadn't mentioned it, Lin Qingyan would have accepted a quest before she left Blue Ruler City. Now that Tang Rongrong had asked for it, Lin Qingshan felt that she couldn't hurt Tang Rongrong's feelings. If possible, she would do her best to obtain this quest.

However, the first thing that Lin QIngshan wanted to know was whether Lie Hongyan could match up with the time they had left Blue Ruler City. As well as whether Lie Hongyan's destination was the city she had planned to pass by.

After all, Lin QIngshan had promised Zhong Chenyue that she would leave the Sky Dragon Empire within a month. Lin Qingshan could not imagine what would happen. Of course, Lin Qinghan thought that it would be best if they could leave the Heavenly Dragon Empire within a month, so that nothing unexpected would happen.

This subordinate went to the Mercenary Union to take a look. Lie Hongyan planned to leave Blue Ruler City tomorrow. Her destination was Sky Dragon City. Guild Leader Qing Shan, what do you mean?" Tang Rongrong felt that there was something amiss from Lin Qinghan's words. She immediately followed up, her eyes flashing with joy as she spoke.

Hearing Tang Rongrong's words, Lin Qingshan straightforwardly said, Fine, I'll go to the Mercenary Guild right now and take a look at the situation. If there is nothing wrong with it, I will try my best to take on this mission. " Lin Qingshan could only try her best. After all, there were some missions that required special conditions and she couldn't accept them just because she wanted to. She had to comply with the requirements of her employer.

Guild Leader Qing Shan, can I go with you? Tang Rongrong was doing her best to facilitate this matter, so when Lin Qinghan's voice fell, she hurriedly opened her mouth to speak. Hearing this, Lin Qinghan hesitated for a moment, but then she quickly said, Alright, we will set off in a bit. Lin Qingshan also wanted to know the relationship between Tang Rongrong and Lie Hongyan. She also wanted to know why she was always so concerned about this matter.

After settling Tang Rongrong's matter, Lin Qingyan looked at the crowd and said, Is there anything else you want to tell me? If you have it, you can say it now. The moment Lin Qingyan's voice fell, Tong Sai Man suddenly said: Qing Shan, can I go with you?" She also wanted to see what Lie Hongyan looked like.

However, Lin Qinshan couldn't agree to Tong Sai's request. She immediately shook her head and said, There's no need for so many people to do this. You should stay and buy some daily necessities from the others. Me, Rongrong and Yi … Chen Feng and the other two will do.

Lin Qinshan rejected Tong Sai Man's offer. She was worried that Tong Sai would do something out of line. Her suggestion was immediately rejected by Lin Qingshan. Tong Sai stared at Lin Qingshan with a depressed expression for a while. Finally, he looked at Tang Rongrong, who was beside him, and left. Tong Sai felt very sad that he was treated like this by someone who had followed Lin QIngshan for so long. If this was the past, Tong Sai would have already started a ruckus.

But after experiencing what happened in Azure Dragon City, Tong Sai became much more obedient. This was because she didn't want to lose her current position. Although she was only managing a few people as the vice head of the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group, her current living conditions were still much better than before she met Lin Qinghan. Tong Sai was still unwilling to part with what had happened.

To think that I thought of you as a good friend. He didn't want to go. I don't care. Tong Sai Man muttered to himself as he left the room. Seeing that Tong Sai Nan was about to leave, Lin Qinghan quickly said loudly, Sai Nan, come back." Although Tong's performance was much better than before, Lin QIngshan still felt that Tong's behavior was wrong.

In front of so many people, she had to maintain her status and authority as the leader of the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group. Only in this way would any order she passed down to Lin Qingshan achieve the effect of prohibition. Lin Qinghan had to forbid anyone from following her. Once there was room for it, it would become an accident in the future.

CHAPTER 202 - HERBA LEPTOZEMICARBAZOBENIAE DECOMPENSICARBAZONE DECOMPENSICARBAZONE DECOMPENSICARBAZONE DECOMPENSATE DECOMPENSATE DECOMPENSATE

Therefore, Lin Qinshan had to call Tong Sai Nan back. Otherwise, if everyone followed Tong Sai Nan's example, it would be a huge blow to her position as the leader. In the future, it might even cause other chain actions.

You agreed to let me go with you? Tong Sai thought that Lin QIngshan had changed her mind. She immediately saw Tong Sai's excited expression as he looked at Lin Qingshan and said. But in the end, Tong Sai Man was disappointed, and then he heard Lin Qing Shan say: Impossible. I did not say that no one was to leave without permission until it was dissolved. You better sit tight. "

As she spoke, Lin Qingshan's eyes were fixed on Tong Sai Man. She had completely suppressed Tong Sai Man with her double control. Tong Sainan, who had originally thought that Lin Qinshan was going to change his mind, didn't expect things to turn out like this. He couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

He immediately turned around and headed for the door. Seeing Tong Sai's actions, Lin Qing Shan's face became somewhat cold, and her eyes became extremely sharp. If Tong Sai Nan really did leave, then that would be slapping her in the face. Faced with such a situation, Lin Qingyan could only exterminate her parents.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely tense. Everyone could see Lin Qingshan's expression. Everyone knew that if Tong Sai Nan really left the room, Lin Qing Shan would definitely take punitive measures against him.

Cao Ye Qing didn't want to see anything bad happen between Lin Qing Shan and Tong Sai. Tong Sai had saved her life, and her being able to stay in the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group had a great deal to do with Tong Sai.

The anxious Cao Ye Qing was about to urge Tong Sai Nan to leave. He saw that Tong Sai Man, who was about to step out of the room, suddenly stopped and turned around to return to his seat. In a split-second, everyone's worries were redirected to their stomachs. Lin Qinghan's dignity did not suffer any loss. On the contrary, it only increased her prestige even further.

Although he had returned, Tong Sai's expression was very unhappy. She didn't even look at Lin Qinghan. Instead, she looked towards a certain corner with a somewhat depressed and unhappy expression.

Seeing Tong Sai's appearance, Lin Qinghan felt a burst of laughter in her heart. However, she couldn't say much to Tong Sai Man now. She heard Lin Qinghan say majestically, "A mercenary group must have a mercenary group. As a captain, I must have the authority of a captain. If there is anyone who dares to challenge me, I will definitely use the rules of the group to deal with them.

I'm not doing this for my own personal gain. I'm doing this for the future of the entire Clear Shadow Mercenary Group. Only when the entire mercenary group had been banned would it be possible to protect the interests of all the members of the mercenary group better. Therefore, I hope that you can think about what you should do before you do it.

I don't want to punish any of you, but if someone violates the rules of the guild, I can only punish them without any hesitation. Borrowing Tong Sai's help, Lin QIngshan decided to instill in everyone an idea that was related to the inviolability of orders. Although things could be discussed, once an order was given, it could not be casually disobeyed. This was because a casual violation could cause great harm to the entire mercenary group. This was absolutely not allowed by Lin Qinghan.

Of course, this didn't mean that Lin QIngshan wanted to use absolute power to manage the mercenary group, but she also valued everyone's opinions. If there were any objections, she would accept them, and she would listen to them.

What Lin Qingshan emphasized was the importance of rules and the execution of orders. Although Lin QIngshan didn't know much about military matters, but she was a businessman. She should have a lot of similarities between managing subordinates and managing subordinates in the military. The most important thing was the execution of the order, because only by doing so would the entire mercenary group be able to operate efficiently. In addition, he was responsible to all the members of the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group.

If it hadn't been for Tong Sai's incident, Lin Qinghan's words wouldn't have been as effective as they were now. From the expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Qingshan knew they had heard it all.

Do you have anything else to say? If you have it, you can bring it up now. Lin Qing Shan brought the topic back to him. She knew that she couldn't keep emphasizing things like before. If she emphasized too much, it would sometimes arouse the displeasure of the crowd. All Lin Qinshan needed to do was to do it a few times. This way, the brainwashing effect for everyone could be achieved.

Hearing Lin Qinshan's words, everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had no more to say. After receiving everyone's response, Lin Qinghan continued to speak. Since you have nothing else to say, then. Then I'll instruct the rest of you to do something. Lin Qing Shan immediately instructed everyone about the division of labor, such as who would go with whom to purchase items, etc.

Although she had just reprimanded Tong Sai Man, Lin Qing Shan did not let him go. Lin Qing Shan still gave Tong Sai Man a task. Although Tong Sai was a bit depressed, she still accepted the task that Lin QIngshan had given her.

Li Si Lin did not interrupt Lin Qing Shan when she was speaking. She also knew that a team needed someone who could make a difference when they spoke. And this person could only be Lin Qingshan.

Firstly, Lin Qingshan had a lot of novel ideas in her head. These ideas could easily affect others. Secondly, she also didn't want to fight with Lin Qingshan. She, Li Silin, had never thought of fighting with Lin Qingshan over who could become the head of the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group.

Ever since the establishment of the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group, Li Si Lin had never thought of taking control of it. Otherwise, with her strength, it would have been a piece of cake. It wasn't until Lin Qinshan finished giving out orders that Li Silin finally spoke to her.

Because of Li Si Lin's current physical condition, Lin Qing Shan didn't give any other instructions to Li Si Lin. She only told her to stay at the inn and rest well. Of course, although Lan Yun was a very strong person, her mission was to protect Li Si Lin. Therefore, Lin Qinghan did not believe that she could order him around.

Of all the members of the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group, only three of them had not been assigned a mission. They were Li Si Lin, Lan Yun, and Cao Ye Qing. Cao Ye Qing really did not know any martial arts. Even Li Si Lin, whose body had been injured, could easily deal with Cao Ye Qing. Thus, Lin Qing Shan did not dare to give Cao Ye Qing any mission. If anything happened to Cao Ye Qing, Lin Qing Shan would not even be able to cry. Although Cao Ye Qing did not know any martial arts, no one could replace him.

Cao Ye Qing could be said to be the Qingying Mercenary Group's library. The future of the entire Shadow Mercenary Group depended on Cao Ye Qing. After all, strength was the most important thing to a team, and increasing one's strength required mental cultivation techniques and battle skills. On the other hand, Cao Ye Qing was the one who knew the most about mental cultivation techniques and battle skills.

Even she, Lin Qingshan, had to learn from Cao Yeqing. With Cao Ye Qing by her side, it could be said that Lin Qing Shan really did not care about battle skills and mental cultivation methods. Even if others had powerful cultivation techniques and battle skills, Lin Qing Shan would not be jealous.

No one could tempt her with such a thing. This was all due to Cao Ye Qing. Otherwise, just the battle skill and mental cultivation method alone would have cost Lin Qinghan a lot of money.

Everyone was on a mission. Especially when Tong Sai's man left Tian Fu Inn with a look of unwillingness. Although she felt sorry for Tong Sai Man, she couldn't say anything now. She could only wait until the dead of night to chat with Tong Sai, the male student. After all, in the entire Clear Shadow Mercenary Group, Tong Sai was someone who supported her very much.

Perhaps it seemed that there were a lot of people who trusted her, including Li Si Lin, Long Yi Feng, Cao Ye Qing, and Tong Xi Nan. But soon, Long Yifeng would be leaving. By that time, there would only be three people left, and since the Shadow Mercenaries weren't very large, it didn't seem like much.

However, as the number of members of the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group increased, and as the number of missions increased, Lin Qinghan could feel that there were too few people. Cao Ye Qing did not know any martial arts, so he could only stay in a safe place. Li Si Lin's body was also injured. It would take a long time for her body to recover to its peak state.

Although Tong Sai was not very strong, she was the safest. Thus, after going to the central region of the Arthur Continent, Lin Qinghan's hopes for Tong Sai must be the greatest. There were many things she needed Tong Sai's help with. Therefore, Lin Qingshan did not wish for any conflict to arise between her and Tong Sai.

You guys wait here for a while. Ye Qing and I have something to say. After speaking to Tang Rongrong and Long Yifeng, Lin Qingshan walked over to Cao Ye Qing's side. She whispered to Cao Ye Qing, Ye Qing, follow me." With that, Lin Qinghan headed for the door. Cao Ye Qing followed closely behind her.

When they arrived at the corridor, Lin Qinghan looked around to make sure that there was no one else around. She then said to Cao Ye Qing, Ye Qing, leave the letter to me. Before Cao Qing and his men left Azure Dragon City, the letter that Lin Qing Shan had given to Cao Ye Qing was now useless. Therefore, Lin Qinghan wanted to take it back. After all, the contents of the letter were now out of place. If anyone else found out, it would only add to the trouble. All she needed to do now was destroy the letter.

Cao Ye Qing had always been thinking about this matter, but after Lin Qing Shan woke up yesterday, she left. She did not come until very late. He had left early in the morning and gathered everyone for a meeting when he returned. Cao Ye Qing never had a chance. When she heard Lin Qinshan's offer, Cao Ye Qing quickly said to her, I'll give it to you. With that said, Cao Ye Qing ran towards the room, followed by Lin Qing Shan.

CHAPTER 203 - RECALL THE LETTER

Cao Ye Qing placed the letter in a place that he believed to be very hidden. Cao Ye Qing would check to see if the letter was still there every day, so he did not lose it. Very quickly, Cao Ye Qing found the letter and passed it to Lin Qing Shan. He then said, The letter is still in good condition, I did not open it. After hearing Cao Ye Qing's words, Lin Qing Shan looked at the letter. It was indeed intact.

The words on the envelope were also written by her, Lin Qingshan. After receiving the letter, Lin Qinghan turned to Cao Yeqing and said in a satisfied manner, Very good, you've accomplished this task very well. You didn't let me down. Just pretend that this never happened and don't tell anyone about it, understand? "

After receiving Lin Qingshan's praise, Cao Ye Qing was very happy. He then heard her say to Lin Qingshan happily: Yes, I know. For the first time, she successfully completed the task that Lin Qingshan had instructed her to do. Cao Ye Qing was very happy, especially after she had been praised by Lin Qingshan. She felt a sense of joy rising in her heart.

This feeling was something that he had never experienced before. Ever since she was young, no one had had any expectations for her. Cao Ye Qing really wanted someone to value her and give her a mission. Now that Lin QIngshan had done this, only the two of them knew.

This made Cao Ye Qing very happy, because in Cao Ye Qing's eyes, what Lin Qing Shan did meant that she was regarded as important by him. Cao Ye Qing could not help but feel his own presence.

She would definitely remember Lin Qingshan's words in her heart. Cao Ye Qing would not tell anyone about this. This was not only Cao Ye Qing's promise to Lin Qing Shan, but also Cao Ye Qing's promise to him. This was because this matter had an extraordinary meaning to Cao Ye Qing. As long as she kept this a secret, the confidence she built would not crumble.

Seeing the excited look on Cao Ye Qing's face, Lin Qing Shan smiled. Lin Qinghan knew that she had achieved her goal. She just wanted Cao Ye Qing to become confident.

Only the confident Cao Ye Qing could play a greater role in the future. Only the confident Cao Ye Qing knew that she would not be looked down upon by Lin Qing Shan. Lin doesn't want to see a betrayal that shouldn't have happened, so she starts to prevent it long before it comes.

With the letter in hand, Lin QIngshan walked towards the candlelight in her room. Reaching out his hand, he lit the letter on fire. After seeing the letter burn to ashes, Lin Qingyan was finally able to relax. Cao Yeqing, who was standing at the side, did not say a word. She knew that this matter was very important. By letting her participate in this matter, Lin Qinghan had already made Cao Ye Qing very happy. She knew that there were some things that she shouldn't know, so it was better not to know. Besides, Cao Ye Qing could also do it. She had really suppressed her curiosity.

Sister Qing Shan. This is the bank card you gave me before we left Azure Dragon City. Since it's done, I'll return it to you. " While Lin Qinghan was burning the letter, Cao Ye Qing took out a bank card. That card was given to her by Lin Qingshan when they left Azure Dragon City. In the past few days, he had spent some in Blue Ruler City, but he hadn't spent much. Now that Lin Qinghan had returned, Cao Ye Qing could no longer hold onto the bank card.

I'll leave this card with you for now. From now on, you will be in charge of the daily expenses of the Clear Shadow Mercenary Group. If you run out of money, ask me for more. Lin Qingshan did not accept the bank card from Cao Ye Qing. She felt that she could not be bothered by these trivial matters. Coincidentally, Cao Ye Qing was free every day. This was a good opportunity for her to take care of this matter. This way, she would have less of a problem of her own.

Alright. Cao Ye Qing did not expect Lin Qing Shan to make her responsible for managing the money, so he could not help but feel touched.

Alright, I'll have to trouble you to clean it up. If you need anything, you can just go and find Si Lin. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. After giving some instructions to Cao Ye Qing, Lin Qing Shan left the room. Before she left Blue Ruler City, she still had two things to do. One of them was to go with Tang Rongrong to find Lie Hongyan and have her promise the mercenary company would protect her. The second matter was Lin Qingshan's plan. Lin Qing Shan did not want anyone else to know about this.

Let's go. Let's go and meet Lie Hongyan. Lin Qingshan said to Tang Rongrong and Long Yifeng, who had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Lin Qingshan was about to leave, Tang Rongrong said to Lin Qingshan, Guild Leader Qing Shan, why don't you write a letter first. If that's the case, the possibility of Fiery Blossom seeing us will also be higher.

Having been reminded by Tang Rongrong, Lin Qingyan felt that it was true. She immediately began writing a letter without hesitation. After writing the letter, Lin Qingyan placed it in her bosom. Then, she turned to Tang Rongrong and Long Yifeng and said, Let's go. With that, Lin Qinghan walked out of the room.

Hearing Lin Qinshan's words, Tang Rongrong and Long Yifeng quickly followed her out of Tian Fu Inn. Tang Rongrong had already investigated the inn where Lie Hongyan stayed.

After hearing this news from Tang Rongrong, Lin QIngshan couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for Tang Rongrong. At the same time, he became even more curious about the relationship between Tang Rongrong and Lie Hongyan.

Perhaps she had noticed Lin Qingyan's curiosity, she heard Tang Rongrong laugh and say to her, Captain Qingshan, do you think that there is any special relationship between me and Lie Hongyan? Hearing Tang Rongrong's words, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Qingyan's face. She didn't think that Tang Rongrong would actually see through her.

However, since Tang Rongrong said so, Lin Qinghan didn't deny it either. She immediately nodded and said to Tang Rongrong, To be honest, I do think so. However, based on your words now, I seem to have guessed wrongly. "

As soon as Lin Qingshan finished speaking, Tang Rongrong smiled and said, There's nothing going on between me and Lie Hongyan. I've never seen her before, nor has she ever seen me before. I told you before that I'm just a person who likes to find out about the trail. Not only do I know a lot about her, I also know a few famous people in the Heavenly Dragon Empire. If you need anything, you can ask me. As long as I know, I will tell you without hiding anything. "

Tang Rongrong was expressing her loyalty to Lin QIngshan as well as gaining her trust. However, Tang Rongrong's words were quite effective. Right now, the thing that Lin Qinshan was most confused about was that she didn't know much about the Arthur Continent, and very few people knew about the fame of the continent. With such a person by her side, she could always ask for help.

While Lin Qinghan was happy in her heart, she couldn't help but doubt Tang Rongrong's purpose in joining the Qing Ying Mercenary Group. Tang Rongrong and Cao Ye Qing were not the same. Cao Ye Qing joining the Qing Ying Mercenary Group was a coincidence. Tang Rongrong, on the other hand, had a lot of options. But why did she join the Shadow Mercenary Group, which had just been established not long ago, and whose future development was still unknown?

Was it really because of the target that she, Lin Qinghan, was talking about? Lin Qing Shan did not believe her words were so persuasive. However, Lin Qingshan couldn't guess Tang Rongrong's true purpose.

In order to not cause unnecessary estrangement, Lin QIngshan could only keep her curiosity to herself. Perhaps with the passage of time, she would know Tang Rongrong's true purpose, but Lin Qingshan believed that Tang Rongrong's true purpose in joining the Shadow Mercenary Group was truly because of what she had said.

Lin Qingshan would not believe him, because she was not that naive. In any world, naive people end up dying without a burial ground. Thus, sometimes, it was better to think and doubt more than to naively believe that everyone's purpose was simple.

If you say so. Then I won't be polite in the future. In the future, if I have any questions on this matter, I will definitely ask you for your advice." Let's not talk about Tang Rongrong's true purpose for joining the Qinghan Ye Mercenary Group. For now, Tang Rongrong was of great benefit to the development of the Qinghan Ye Mercenary Group. Therefore, Lin Qinghan would not do something that she was not interested in at the moment. Ever since Long Yifeng had learned of his' real 'identity, he had been organizing the information that Zhong Chenyue had told him.

In order to avoid frequent headaches, Long Yifeng chose not to stubbornly recall his memories. As a result, the effect was much better. However, Long Yifeng appeared somewhat absent-minded. When others spoke to him, he acted as if he hadn't heard them. Looking at Long Yifeng's situation, Lin Qingshan felt somewhat uneasy.

She was worried that Long Yifeng would recover his memories at any moment. Although Long Yifeng had lost his memories for more than three years, even if he could recover his memories, it would certainly not be for a short period of time. However, with Zhong Chenyue here, who knew about Long Yifeng's past, Lin Qingshan really felt that this kind of thing could happen.

After all, it was easier for a person with amnesia to regain their memories if they kept listening to what had happened. Lin Qinghan was really worried that Long Yifeng would suddenly regain his memories within a month. Lin Qingshan didn't dare to speak to Long Yifeng. Even if she didn't have to, she still tried her best to avoid Long Yifeng. Fortunately, Long Yifeng had his own matters to attend to recently, so he didn't pay much attention to Lin Qingshan's situation.

Lie Hongyan stayed at the Seven Colors Inn, the most luxurious inn in Blue Ruler City. The Seven Colored Tavern was the largest chain of inn in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and it could be found almost everywhere in the entire nation. Behind the Seven Colored Inn was the Sky Dragon Empire's royal Long family.

CHAPTER 204 - RAINBOW INN

Due to such a huge background, the development of the Seven Colors Tavern in the Sky Dragon Empire had gone smoothly. Almost no one dared to find trouble with the Seven Colors Inn. After all, if he were to find trouble with the Seven Colors Inn, he would be looking for trouble with the Long family. Finding trouble with the Long family meant going against the entire Sky Dragon Empire.

Every place had an army stationed there, and those who provoked the Seven Colored Inn would be lured out by the army. The army's care for the Seven Colors Inn was incomparable to that of other inns.

There was no helping it, he was of a different lineage. The Long family was rich and imposing, plus they controlled the Heavenly Dragon Empire, so the capital of the Seven Colors Tavern was naturally very plentiful. Therefore, the Seven Colors Inn's conditions were also very good.

No matter if it was a comfortable environment, delicious food, or safety, it was the best place for many guests to go out. Although the price of living here was a bit expensive, it was but a drop in the bucket for those large and small families.

More importantly, the Rainbow Inn had a deep relationship with the Long family. As long as the officials of the Heavenly Dragon Empire had the ability, they would basically choose the Rainbow Inn. This way, he wouldn't offend the Long family. Those who wanted to curry favor with the Long family would try their best to choose the Seven Color Inn as well. As such, the Seven Colors Tavern in the Long family could be said to occupy sixty percent of the market in the Sky Dragon Empire.

With the Long family in this industry, the other four families would naturally not step in and compete with the Long family for benefits. After all, there were tens of thousands of industries in the world, and there were many profit-making industries. No matter what the ranking was, the lodging market's profits were not the highest. Thus, the four great families tactfully avoided this industry.

Although the industry was not the best at making money, the annual profit to the royal family was still considerable. Because a large portion of the money earned here would be put into the national treasury to build and maintain the infrastructure, it did not arouse the anger of the people. This was also considered a brilliant move from the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Since then, it had increased the overall strength of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, while unwittingly gaining the Long family a large amount of money.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyan had disguised Long Yifeng's appearance early on. Thus, he didn't have to worry about going to an inn that had the Long family's background. Since the Rainbow Inn was the most luxurious, most powerful inn in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, of course, it was different from the other inns. The Rainbow Inn was most famous for its security problems.

No matter what happened, as long as he stayed in the Seven Colors Inn, he would be able to guarantee that he would not have to worry. However, the Seven Colors Inn ignored whatever would happen after they left the inn. It was precisely because of this characteristic of the Seven Colored Inn that many people who had formed many enemies would choose the Seven Colored Inn as their residence every time they went out. After all, no matter how much money he had, he would still have to use it for his life.

The Seven Colors Tavern had a deep connection with the officials of the Sky Dragon Empire, so it had no problem with security. In the short period of time that the Seven Colored Inn had appeared, there had indeed been many people who had broken the promise of the Seven Colored Inn. However, those who had broken the promise of the Seven Colored Inn had all been killed without exception.

By now, the Seven Colors Inn had been built several hundred years ago. The current Rainbow Inn could completely live up to the characteristic it preached. In recent decades, there had not been an accident. Of course, the agreement between the Seven Colored Inn and the various powers had its effects. Thus, the Seven Colors Inn became the safest place around.

Lie Hongyan's current situation was somewhat dangerous, so it was only natural for her to choose to stay in the Seven Colored Inn. However, it was a bit troublesome for Lin Qinghan and the others. They wanted to see the Seven Colored Inn's Lie Hongyan. She was different from the others who lived in ordinary inns. If it was an ordinary inn, Lin Qinshan could use the bribe to meet Lie Hongyan.

But in the Seven Colors Inn, this method was useless. The staff members of the Rainbow Inn were all of good quality. Whether it was men or women, their attitudes were all very good. Furthermore, the wages of the attendants of the Rainbow Inn were the highest in every city. They wouldn't let themselves lose their jobs for a little while.

After all, the staff in the Seven Colors Inn was not only a job, it was also a symbol of status for them. After all, not everyone could enter the Seven Colors Tavern to work. Every single person who could enter the Seven Colors Tavern to work was a source of envy. Therefore, if Lin Qingshan and the rest wanted to meet Lie Hongyan, they could not rely on bribery. Most importantly, Lin Qingshan and the rest had to disguise themselves as if they were of a very high level. This way, he would be able to intimidate the staff at the Seven Colors Inn.

This is the Seven Colors Inn? Lin Qing Shan sighed to herself as she looked at the lavishly decorated building, which covered a huge area. It was at least nine stories high. With this world's level of construction, being able to build nine floors was truly not bad. Moreover, it was in a middle-ranking city like Blue Ruler City. There should be at least a dozen floors in a large city like Sky Dragon City.

From the sheer size of the building, Lin Qingyan could tell that there were at least several hundred rooms inside. Compared to the Seven Colors Inn, the Tian Fu Inn they stayed in could be said to be extremely simple and crude.

There shouldn't be just any guest rooms in this inn, right? There should be restaurants and other entertainment facilities as well. No matter what, Lin Qingshan was still a person from the 21st century. Compared to the buildings on Earth, the buildings in this world could only be described as simple and crude. However, ever since she came to the Arthur Continent, the buildings that Lin Qinghan had seen were all very short. This was the first time she had seen one of this height.

That was why he suddenly felt different. Thinking of the hotel facilities on Earth, Lin Qinghan guessed that there was something like that in the Seven Colors Inn. Otherwise, it was impossible to match its reputation.

Hearing Lin Qingshan's words, Tang Rongrong's face showed a hint of surprise, before she turned to Lin Qingshan and said, Guild Leader Qing Shan, have you been to the Seven Colors Inn before? After Tang Rongrong finished speaking, Lin Qingshan shook her head and said, I don't have that much money to waste on this. I was just guessing. " Although Tang Rongrong hadn't given her the answer, Lin Qingshan knew that she had guessed correctly.

As soon as Lin Qingshan finished speaking, Tang Rongrong said to her, Guild Leader Qing Shan, you guessed right. This Seven Colored Inn did indeed not only have guest rooms, at the same time, it also had restaurants and all kinds of supporting facilities. There are even fireworks.

Oh? Lin Qinshan was surprised for a moment, but she quickly recovered. In this world, it was normal for things to happen openly. After all, this was not Earth.

Seeing Lin Qingshan's surprised expression, Tang Rongrong said to her, Captain Qingshan, can we go in now? As Tang Rongrong finished speaking, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but take a deep breath as she walked towards the Seven Colors Tavern. Long Yifeng and Tang Rongrong followed closely behind Lin Qingyan. In order to successfully see Lie Hongyan, Lin Qingshan was willing to risk everything.

She was also someone who had experienced many things. Her frequent stay at this kind of inn was many times better than this. Although this was her first time in the Seven Colors Inn, Lin Qingshan did not feel any fear.

He exuded an aura of confidence, generosity, and nobility. Before Lin Qingshan and the rest could enter the Seven Colored Inn, a receptionist smiled and bowed towards them. Soon after, a pretty man who looked to be around twenty-five years old said to Lin Qingshan with a smile, Hello, please come in. Indeed, the word 'beautiful' was the most appropriate word to describe the man. Even the word 'handsome' didn't suit him.

Lin Qingyan nodded at him before following him into the inn. The main hall of the inn was extremely huge, around 300 square meters. One third of the area was a resting area for the waiting or looking for guests to rest in.

The hall was over five meters tall and seemed very spacious. There was no sense of pressure at all. There were many potted plants in the hall, which made it very comfortable to look at. Lin Qinghan couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart as she compared the inn she was staying with to the one in front of her. It seemed that if there was a chance, he would have to give it a try.

The welcoming man handed Lin Qinshan and the others over to a staff member in the main hall before taking his leave. His attitude was very gentle, unlike how the people at other inns ignored women like Lin Qinghan.

The person receiving Lin Qingshan and the others was a woman. Lin Qinghan was surprised. Since Lin Qinghan came to the continent of Arthur, she had rarely seen any female staff members. Now, they actually saw each other in the Seven Colors Inn, and it wasn't just one. There were also quite a few female staff members receiving other guests. Tang Rongrong saw Lin QIngshan's surprise and a strange light flashed across her eyes. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then closed it again in the end.

Hello, do you have a reservation? The waitress smiled and said to Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingshan shook her head and said, I'm looking for someone.

Lin Qing Shan straightforwardly stated her purpose in coming here. She wasn't here to stay. If she stayed in an inn like this, she would not have much money left on her. Lin Qinghan had a very important use for that money.

Are you looking for a guest or a staff member? Since Lin Qinshan did not speak with any pretentious or shy manner, the female receptionist did not underestimate her. She immediately turned to Lin Qinshan and said.

I am a good friend of Lie Hongyan. We have an appointment. Lin Qingshan didn't even blush when she told a lie. She had never seen Lie Hongyan before, let alone a good friend. However, Lin Qinshan's natural state made him believe her.

The other person did not suspect anything. He smiled and said to Lin Qinshan, Please wait a moment. I'll go and notify them for you. She wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Lin Qing Shan. Lin Qingshan knew that if she let him go like this, she would definitely not meet her again. Lin Qing Shan took out a letter from her bosom.

This letter was specifically addressed to Lie Hongyan. It was likely that after Lie Hongyan read this letter, the possibility of her seeing them was much higher. However, Lin Qinghan was not sure either. If Lie Hongyan really did not want to see them. Lin Qing Shan could only give up. At that time, she would only have two choices. She could either go to the Mercenary Guild and try her luck, or go on a quest.

After receiving the letter from Lin Qinghan, the staff said their goodbyes and left. Lin Qinghan and the other two were left behind, waiting anxiously.

CHAPTER 205 - MERCENARY UNION

Although Lin Qinghan could not help but feel slightly anxious in her heart, this sort of anxiety was only caused by human instincts. From this, it was hard to tell how much Lin Qinghan cared about this matter. In truth, in Lin Qingshan's heart, she did not really care about this matter of Lie Hongyan.

Lin Qing Shan simply treated this matter as a negligible existence. Thus, even if she was rejected by Lie Hongyan, Lin Qingyan would not be so angry. After all, in the enormous Blue Ruler City, it was likely that Lie Hongyan was not the only one who needed to go to Sky Dragon City. She was confident that she could easily find a quest that met her requirements.

However, Lin Qingshan had clearly overestimated herself. The Mercenary Union was a place that paid a lot of attention to the reputation and fame of mercenary groups. The Mercenary Union had a very strict classification system for mercenary groups. Mercenaries of different grades could receive different missions, but the rewards would be much worse after completing the corresponding missions.

The Mercenary Union divided the mercenary groups into seven levels. From the lowest level to the highest, the levels are divided into F, E, D, C, B, A, and S. This was different from dividing it according to the size of the mercenary group. But there was also a deep connection between the two. Only when the mercenary group reached a certain level would the Mercenary Union allow the group to increase in size, otherwise it would be illegal.

For those who haven't reached the required level yet, the number of mercenaries exceeds the maximum allowed by the Mercenary Union. This is a serious problem." For one thing, such a mercenary group would be deemed as an illegal armed group by the country in which it belonged. If this was confirmed, then the mercenary group would be considered as a bandit group. There is a risk of forced disbanding. If such a mercenary group still didn't reduce the number of people to a certain extent, it would be considered as an illegal organization by its country.

Of course, the difference in rank didn't just affect the number of mercenaries. There were also missions that could be accepted, and the reputation of the mercenary group would be raised as well. As a result, every mercenary group with a dream would do their best to accept every single mission that the Mercenary Guild had given them and complete them with all their might. This was because only by completing missions would the mercenary group be able to obtain contribution points. The contribution points were the only things a mercenary group needed to level up. Only after accumulating a certain number of contribution points could the rank of a mercenary group be promoted.

The Mercenary Union did not only classify the mercenary groups, but also the individual mercenaries. This was a huge boost to the mercenaries. Mercenaries were divided into eight ranks. Sort from lowest to highest F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS. F rank mercenaries were the lowest rank mercenaries that the Mercenary Union had set. They did not have any requirements in terms of strength or other aspects, so anyone could achieve this. This was the same reasoning as the establishment of an F Class mercenary company.

Although becoming a mercenary was an easy thing to do, if one wanted to walk the path of a mercenary and become an existence that stood above everyone else, it was a very difficult matter.

Although there were many people in the mercenary industry, and their strengths varied, the majority of them were the weaker ones. However, there were quite a few experts among them. The experts of the Mercenaries had been tempered by their blood. Compared to experts of the same rank who came from the army, the experts of the same rank had more advantages in individual battles. At the same time, they also had many advantages over the disciples of the various families and gangs.

It was because of the mercenary's rich experience that many families and gangs would arrange for their own people to experience a few years of mercenary life. Only in this way would they be able to make their family or gangs become eternal existences.

Although the fighting strength of a mercenary was much stronger than a soldier of the same rank, if they were to fight in a war, the mercenary would definitely die a miserable death. This was also the disadvantage of the majority of the mercenaries.

However, there were still many mercenary groups that paid special attention to the group fighting nature of the mercenary groups. A lot of mercenary groups like this had been established over a hundred years ago. Moreover, they were of a very high rank and size.

The dream of a mercenary group wasn't just to be a mercenary group. Some of them wanted to establish their own country, while others wanted to help a country to obtain what they couldn't. This group of mercenaries had already reached a certain level of strength, whether they were on the same level or on a different scale. The amount of strength they could touch was far beyond what the average mercenary or mercenary group could imagine.

Joining in a war between nations was a necessary condition for the mercenary groups to survive. This was because after a mercenary group reached a certain point, once the number of mercenaries reached a certain point, then the mercenary association would no longer be able to provide enough money for the group to operate normally.

Only by participating in wars between countries and relying on the feudal fiefdom or resources given by the countries or large families that served them, could such a mercenary group be able to continue living and growing. After all, not a single mercenary group wanted to see themselves slowly decline, and every single mercenary group wanted to become stronger and stronger.

In the entire Arthur Continent, the mercenary groups within the Light Wind Empire were in the best condition to survive. Since the Light Wind Empire didn't have an army of its own, the mercenary group was responsible for the defense and security of the entire empire. Different mercenary groups were in charge of different cities and regions, and they worked harmoniously with each other to promote the development of the Light Wind Empire. In addition, the Light Wind Empire mainly dealt in business, so it had many more opportunities for mercenaries.

Thus, in the entire Arthur Continent, the Light Wind Empire could be said to be a mercenary paradise. However, the heaven had its limits. It could not allow all the mercenaries to survive in this place. In addition, other than the Light Wind Empire, they also needed a large number of mercenaries. If there is demand, there will be benefits. So in general, the mercenaries of other places in the Arthur Continent weren't much worse off than the mercenaries of the Light Wind Empire.

Mercenaries of different ranks would have different difficulty accepting different missions. The mercenary association's missions were divided into nine categories based on the difficulty and the amount of commission. These missions of different grades were sorted by mother, where F represented the lowest level, and sss represented the highest level.

However, the SSS Quest could also be said to be an impossible quest. Judging from how many years the Mercenary Union had been giving them, it could be said that they had a slim chance of surviving. Furthermore, the SSS grade quests they had accepted had the highest level of mercenaries and mercenaries. If it was a low level mercenary group or group of mercenaries, they probably wouldn't even be able to survive.

Although the difficulty of the SSS level quest was extremely high, the rewards one would get after completing it would be very substantial. This was definitely something countless people would dream of. Almost everyone's dream was to become a mercenary in order to receive that kind of reward.

As a result, in order to complete the SSS level quest, many of the top mercenary groups and groups would join together. This way, the success rate of the quest would be higher, but the death rate was still frightening. However, for so many years, there had been many people who had wanted to take on such a mission.

Perhaps when such a mission first appeared, the mercenaries took on this task to obtain money, but until now, the mercenaries had changed their way of thinking. Some of them already saw this mission as a challenge, as if only by completing this mission could their lives become perfect.

Of course, many of the mercenaries still hoped to increase their own reputation through this kind of quest. In short, many people had their own ideas. However, the number of people who succeeded in the end were extremely few. The vast majority of the people would only carry their dreams with them and return to the dust forever.

Although there were over a hundred million mercenaries on the continent of Arthur, the countries of the continent weren't too afraid of the existence of the Mercenary Union. The reason for this situation was because of a principle set up by the Mercenary Guild. It was a rule that the Mercenary Union had issued to every nation at the moment of life and death.

That was, the Mercenary Union had always maintained a neutral stance, not telling the mercenaries within the association to intentionally stand on the side of a certain country. Mercenaries in each country have first priority to call for war in their own country. The Mercenary Union wouldn't transfer the mercenaries. This principle of the Mercenary Guild not only saved them from danger, but also helped the development of the Mercenary Guild.

This was because the mercenaries were equivalent to the reserve troops of their own country. When a country faces war, the country can spend a lot of money at a time of danger, immediately getting many experienced mercenaries to fight.

After the battle was over, they would not be bothered by the whereabouts of the mercenaries. These benefits made every country strongly advocate the Mercenary Guild's development. It was also from then on that mercenary groups from every country that used war as a way to gain profits. And it has always existed today.

With so many mercenaries around, the number of countries that were fighting against each other had increased. The number of countries that had armies was no longer sufficient to compete with the number of countries that were fighting against the number of countries that were fighting. The number of mercenaries in various countries had also reached a large number. It was very likely that at the most crucial moment, the existence of the mercenaries would cause a drastic change in the way war was fought.

For thousands of years, the Mercenary Guild had maintained the principle of neutrality, and it was because of this principle that the Mercenary Guild was able to survive until today. This made the Mercenary Guild suddenly become one of the oldest and most authoritative organizations on the continent. It was also named as one of the four famous guilds in the continent, the Arthur Bank Guild, the Magic Guild, and the Warrior Guild.

CHAPTER 206 - LEVEL DIVIDE

No matter what the circumstances were, no country or power would ever offend any of these four guilds. It was precisely because these four guilds were able to stay safe and sound for several thousand years that even though large-scale wars broke out every few decades in the continent of Arthur, they didn't keep going back and forth. Still moving forward.

There were actually more than just these four guilds in the continent of Arthur. The only difference was that some of the other guilds couldn't maintain their neutrality due to their own goals. Some of them had completely disappeared, and some of them had reappeared many times, but they were still unable to compare to the Mercenary Union and the other four guilds.

It had been more than three thousand years since the establishment of the Mercenary Guild. Three thousand years was a very long time. After all, even a Saint level expert only had a lifespan of two hundred years. Compared to three thousand years ago, two hundred years of age was still more than ten times as long. After such a long period of time, every aspect of the Mercenary Union had a very complete and reasonable rule. It was these rules that drove the Mercenary Union to thrive and prosper.

The Mercenary Guild had seven levels for mercenary groups, eight levels for individual mercenaries, and nine levels for quests. The lowest ranked mercenary groups could only accept the lowest ranked missions and emergency missions, so the rewards they could get were quite low. The F and E ranked mercenary groups were considered small, so they had to be under 100 people.

D-and C-ranked mercenary groups could have more than 100 people, but only less than 1000. The B and A ranked mercenary groups were considered large scale groups. They could have over a thousand people, but they had to remain below ten thousand.

The
