I Can See Through Everything-Chapter 345

"Fine." Lu Qing nodded.

The assassin then used the Sound Transmission Technique to inform Lu Qing of the location.

After listening, Lu Qing raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

"This is something that can be easily verified; how could I dare deceive you, young master?" The assassin gave a bitter smile. "But even if you know where the Mystic Realm’s entrance is, it won't do you any good. The formation guarding the Mystic Realm is controlled by Xuankong Mountain. Only they can open it."

"Even we have to wait for the agreed time and get their permission before we can enter or leave the Mystic Realm."

"You don’t need to worry about that."

Lu Qing’s Soul Perception was constantly monitoring the assassin’s emotional fluctuations.

Knowing that the man likely wasn’t lying, Lu Qing turned and left.

"Wei Family Patriarch, I’ll leave this one to you."

"Understood!" Wei Xinghe immediately got the message and approached the assassin.

The assassin’s face turned pale with fear, and he screamed, "You lied to me! You said you'd let me go!"

However, Wei Xinghe gave him no chance to shout further. With a flick of his hand, a blade aura flashed out, ending the assassin’s life instantly.

Lu Qing didn’t even glance back.

When he had interrogated these people for information, he had never planned to spare their lives.

The information he uncovered showed that before coming to Cang County, these men had already killed many innocent people.

These assassins from Wujian Tower were scum with no bottom line.

Letting even one of them go would be the real crime.

"Ah Qing, what are you planning to do next?"

The old doctor showed no particular reaction to Lu Qing’s actions.

Although he wasn’t fond of killing, he didn’t think that what Lu Qing had done was wrong.

"There’s nothing to do, Master. The foundation of Xuankong Mountain is still beyond our reach.

I asked them about the location of the Mystic Realm just to be prepared for any eventuality. I never intended to provoke them right now."

Lu Qing shook his head.

"That’s for the best."

The old doctor let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He had indeed been worried that Lu Qing might act impulsively and go looking for trouble with Xuankong Mountain.

"Master, have you finished the free clinic?"

"I still have a few more villages to visit. I came to the city this time because I ran out of medicine and wanted to ask the Wei Family Patriarch for more. I didn’t expect to run into these assassins."

"How did the free clinic go? Was there any new discovery?"

Lu Qing knew that his master had gone out this time not only to offer free medical services but also to understand the impact of the world’s changes on ordinary people.

"There was, indeed." The old doctor’s expression turned serious. "But let’s talk more about it once I finish visiting the last few villages and return."

"Alright. Over the past two days, I’ve completed the array setup in the village and opened up a spirit field.

Master, when you return, you should be able to start cultivating better medicinal herbs."

"That’s excellent!" The old doctor’s face lit up with joy.

After a brief conversation, Lu Qing turned to Wei Xinghe.

"Patriarch Wei, since the assassins from Wujian Tower have already found their way to Cang County, the city is no longer safe.

Why don’t you and Madam Wei temporarily stay at the villa in Jiuli Village? It’ll be easier for us to look after each other there."

Wei Xinghe hesitated for a moment, thinking about the assassin who had escaped earlier. He realized that the manor was indeed no longer safe, so he nodded.

"That would be best. Thank you, young master Lu."

Though Lu Qing’s words were polite, Wei Xinghe was fully aware of his own limitations.

With his cultivation level, there was no way he could protect anyone.

In truth, Lu Qing was worried about their safety, and his words were merely a courtesy.

Immediately, Wei Xinghe ordered his household to clean up the bodies of the Wujian Tower assassins.

At the same time, they began packing their belongings to prepare for their move to Jiuli Village with Lu Qing.

Just as the Wei Manor became busy, a servant from the front gate suddenly rushed in.

"Patriarch, the City Lord is here!"

"The City Lord?"

Wei Xinghe was taken aback and instinctively looked at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment, recalling the fear he had sensed upon entering the city earlier.

He nodded. "Since the City Lord is here to visit, we might as well meet him."

Wei Xinghe quickly ordered, "Invite the City Lord in."

The servant hurried out. Before long, City Lord Yan Canghai entered with a few guards, led by the gatekeeper.

As soon as Yan Canghai stepped into the hall, he caught sight of Lu Qing sitting there and was immediately shocked.

When had this young master entered the city? He hadn’t received any notice at all.

Could the terrifying battle aura from earlier have been related to him?

"Young master Lu, I didn’t expect to see you here. Greetings, young master Lu."

Yan Canghai respectfully bowed to Lu Qing.

His guards, standing behind him, were taken aback, glancing at Lu Qing in disbelief.

They couldn’t understand why their lord would show such great respect to this young man.

"So, it’s the City Lord. You’re here because of the battle aura that erupted in the manor earlier, aren’t you?"

Lu Qing nodded slightly and got straight to the point.

"Exactly." Yan Canghai remained deferential. "I sensed a battle involving Precelestial Realm experts here in the Wei Manor, so I came to check what had happened."

Lu Qing smiled. "It was just a few low-level assassins causing trouble, but we’ve already taken care of it. You needn’t worry, and you can inform the citizens that the threat has been eliminated so they can calm down."

Yan Canghai: ...

Naturally, he didn’t believe a word of it.

What kind of petty assassins could release such an overwhelming Precelestial aura?

And there were multiple of them at that! Such terrifying power would be difficult for even a provincial governor to handle, let alone the Wei family.

But Yan Canghai knew that since Lu Qing had said this, it was a sign that he didn’t want the matter to be pursued any further.

Yan Canghai had no choice but to nod respectfully. "If that’s the case, then I have been overly cautious."

"It’s not an issue. In any case, thank you, City Lord, for your concern." Wei Xinghe responded politely.

Knowing that the City Lord had come to investigate the Precelestial-level battle, yet still chose to come despite the danger, Wei Xinghe was grateful. Regardless of Yan Canghai's motives, the gesture itself warranted thanks.

"City Lord, in a little while, I’ll be heading out of the city with Patriarch Wei and his family. Could I trouble you to have the city gates opened for us?" Lu Qing asked.

"So late at night, and you’re leaving the city?" Yan Canghai’s heart skipped a beat.

"Indeed. The assassins who came earlier were targeting the Wei family. If we stay in the city, there may be more to come. To avoid involving the citizens of Cang County, it’s better that we leave for a while."

Yan Canghai: ...

He wanted to ask what the Wei family had done to attract such a group of Precelestial-level experts. Moreover, judging by Lu Qing’s words, it seemed that more might come in the future.

Could the Wei family have provoked some terrifying force?

But ultimately, Yan Canghai refrained from asking. He knew from experience that some things were best left unspoken. Once you knew too much, it could become impossible to disentangle yourself from the mess.

This was a lesson he had learned through bitter experience.

So instead, he simply nodded. "That won’t be a problem. I’ll personally escort you out of the city."

"Thank you for your trouble, City Lord."

The servants of the Wei family worked quickly. In no time, two carriages were prepared: one for the people and the other for their belongings. A squad of Silver Moon Guards was arranged to protect them.

As for the old doctor, he didn’t join them. He still had a few villages left to visit for his free clinic and planned to finish that before returning.

Yan Canghai led a group of guards and escorted them to the city gates. With the City Lord personally present, the city guards didn’t dare delay in opening the gates.

Thus, Lu Qing and the others smoothly exited the city and began their journey toward Jiuli Village.

Standing at the city gates, watching the convoy gradually disappear into the darkness, Yan Canghai’s expression turned serious.

The events of the night gave him an unsettling feeling, as if a storm was brewing. How could a small family like the Wei family attract so many Precelestial assassins?

What troubled him even more was that the assassins had unleashed a terrifying Precelestial aura for only a brief moment before it vanished entirely.

When he visited the Wei Manor, there were no signs of any intense battle.

So, what had happened to those Precelestial assassins? Were they killed or had they escaped?

If they were killed, then the strength of this young master Lu was far too terrifying.

Perhaps it was time to make a decision he had long been contemplating.

As for Lu Qing, he was unaware of Yan Canghai’s thoughts.

During the return journey, he remained vigilant, worried that the escaped assassin from Wujian Tower might suddenly appear and attack them.

Fortunately, his concerns proved unfounded.

They made it back to Jiuli Village without encountering any danger.

"Father, Mother, what are you doing here?"

Upon their arrival at the villa, Wei Zian ran out excitedly when he saw his parents.

"Your mother missed you, so we came to see you," Madam Wei replied, not wanting to worry her son.

But Wei Zian, no longer the naive young master he once was, found the reason suspicious.

"If you missed me, you wouldn’t come all the way here in the middle of the night. Besides, didn’t I just visit home a few days ago?"

He was also puzzled by Lu Qing’s presence. After all, Lu Qing had been staying at the mountain villa earlier, and Wei Zian had seen him that very morning.

Madam Wei was momentarily speechless.

"Mother, did something happen at home?" Wei Zian pressed.

Watching this scene from the side, Lu Qing couldn’t help but smile.

He stepped forward and explained, "Zian, it’s like this. Earlier tonight, some assassins from Wujian Tower came to your house, attempting to capture your parents."

"Wujian Tower assassins?!"

Wei Zian was shocked, immediately recalling the danger they faced back in Sacred City. The assassins from Wujian Tower were no ordinary killers; they were Precelestial-level experts, terrifyingly powerful.

For such assassins to target his parents?

Hearing this, Mago, who had been following behind, was equally stunned.

"Fortunately, your master happened to be visiting your house, or it’s hard to say what might have happened," Lu Qing continued.

"Indeed. Thanks to Elder Chen’s help, your mother and I narrowly escaped," Wei Xinghe added. "Young master Lu suggested we come here to the villa for safety, in case the assassins return."

"Lu Qing, these Wujian Tower assassins were after my parents because of what happened in Sacred City, right?" Wei Zian asked.

"That seems likely," Lu Qing confirmed. "I interrogated the assassins, and it turns out they were sent by Xuankong Mountain."

"It’s those old bald vultures again!" Wei Zian cursed. "Those shameless fools from Xuankong Mountain really are despicable, using such underhanded tactics! Mother, don’t worry. This villa is very safe. As long as master Lu is here, those villains wouldn’t dare show their faces. Besides, I’ll protect you too! I won’t let them harm you!"

"Alright, I’ll be counting on you, my dear son," Madam Wei smiled, pleased by her son’s confidence.

With the family safely settled, Lu Qing saw no need to linger.

The villa was well within the protective formation he had set up, and Wei Xinghe’s family would be safe.

After advising Madam Wei to avoid leaving the village unnecessarily, Lu Qing briefly checked in with Hu Laosan and his daughter, Hu Zezhi, to make sure they were adjusting well. Then he headed back to his mountain villa.

Upon his return, he spotted Wei Shanhai sitting in the courtyard, waiting for him.

"Young master Lu, how are Xinghe and his family? Are they hurt?" Wei Shanhai asked immediately.

"They’re fine, no one was injured. I’ve already escorted them back to the village," Lu Qing replied.

"That’s great to hear." Wei Shanhai was relieved.

In his eyes, Jiuli Village was far safer than the county town, especially after witnessing Lu Qing’s formation work and feeling the increasingly dense spiritual energy around the village.

He was confident that, in the future, the village would evolve into a place of unimaginable spiritual abundance.

With Wei Xinghe’s family here, not only would they be safe, but their cultivation would also advance more smoothly.
