I Can See Through Everything

"Brother Li, don't you recognize this young man?"

Several disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect were surprised.

"Indeed, we don't recognize him. This is the first time we've seen this young man," another young man shook his head.

To be honest, they were equally astonished.

Lu Qing not only had an unfamiliar face, but his aura was also quite ordinary.

Why then did their elders display such reverence upon seeing him?

This was a scene they had never witnessed before.

Those with quick minds suddenly thought of something and were shocked.

However, they hesitated to confirm, "Could this be the young hero rumored these days, who defeated a martial arts master head-on at the city gate battle?"

"Yes, it must be him. Otherwise, how could so many martial arts experts be so reverent and fearful?"

Looking at Lu Qing's somewhat youthful face, a group of young people felt a tremor in their hearts.

No wonder they didn't think of this at first, as their elders had been vague when mentioning this matter, only referring to the person as a young hero.

They had assumed this person was at least their age, but they never expected him to be so young.

"Everyone, are you saying this young man defeated a martial arts master? You must be joking, right?"

The disciples of Qingyun Sword Sect all looked incredulous upon hearing this.

No wonder they didn't believe it.

What these people said was simply too outrageous.

A teenager defeating a martial arts master at the peak of the Internal Organs Realm?

How absurd!

A teenage martial arts master?!

Not to mention in this remote Cang County, but even in the most prosperous and talented Zhongzhou, such a person would be rare.

Only the top super sects might be able to cultivate such a monstrous genius.

How could a place like Cang County produce such a talent?

"Brother Zhao, we know it's hard to believe, but it's indeed the truth. If we are not mistaken, this young man is likely the one who recently saved the Wei family."

With that, several noble young men recounted the events of recent times.

After chatting for a while, everyone knew that these young men with distinctive temperaments were fellow disciples of the eldest son of the Wei family, hailing from a major sect in Jizhou.

Such people naturally wanted to make connections, so they recounted the recent events in the county in detail.

After hearing this, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect were even more perplexed.

They had heard rumors about the Tian Cang Sect's invasion of the Wei family on their way here.

But the subsequent story they heard sounded more and more absurd.

Especially the part about the young man defeating a martial arts master with the Tendons and Bones Realm's perfect cultivation?

How could that be!

This was not just absurd, but complete nonsense.

No matter how strong the Tendons and Bones Realm was, it could not be a match for a martial arts master.

The gap between their cultivation and realms was immense!

If they truly fought, the Tendons and Bones Realm would have no outcome other than defeat.

The disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect, hailing from a major sect and themselves in the Tendons and Bones Realm, had witnessed martial arts masters' battles multiple times.

They knew well how vast the gap was between the Tendons and Bones Realm and martial arts masters.

It was a chasm that could not be bridged by martial techniques alone!

It must be a small place, where even such poor rumors can spread. The martial arts knowledge here is terribly lacking.

Instantly, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect made their own judgment.

They thought the previous statements were nothing but nonsense.

These noble young men must have been either gullible or bragging to attract attention.

However, despite their disdain, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect maintained their composure and did not show it.

They continued to chat politely with the local noble sons.

As for their inner ridicule, only they knew.

"County Magistrate, Lord Zhiyue is here!"

At this moment, the gatekeeper's announcement came from outside.

The guests in the courtyard were once again in an uproar, all looking outside.

Soon, they saw the County Magistrate and the mysterious Lord Zhiyue, led in by Wei Dazongguan.

"County Magistrate, Lord Zhiyue, please sit here," Wei Dazongguan courteously directed them to the table where Lu Qing was seated.

"Young Master Lu, we meet again."

The County Magistrate fanned himself and smiled.

"Yes, I regretted not being able to drink with you last time. Today, my wish is fulfilled," Lu Qing also smiled.

The County Magistrate's smile stiffened.

The plain-clothed young man beside him couldn't help but twitch his mouth at Lu Qing's courteous demeanor.

He found this young man's words quite amusing.

Silently, he managed to make his friend run into a soft nail.

After the County Magistrate's failed attempt to engage Lu Qing in conversation, he sat across from him and drank alone.

Lu Qing ignored him, remaining calmly seated.

For this County Magistrate, Lu Qing felt neither like nor dislike, just an instinctive aversion.

So, it was best for them not to have any interactions.

This, however, made the other people at the table somewhat uneasy.

The head of the Ma family keenly sensed the subtle discord between Lu Qing and the County Magistrate.

Unfortunately, he was insignificant, so he didn't dare say anything, just sat quietly, trying to lower his presence.

As for the plain-clothed young man, not being talkative by nature, he wouldn't engage in idle chat.

For a while, the most important table fell into an inexplicable silence.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before all the guests arrived.

Wei Xinghe and his wife, along with Magu and other protagonists, also came out from the inner courtyard.

With a shout from Wei Dazongguan, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.

There wasn't much to say about the process.

Although there were many steps, everything went smoothly, except for Magu's slightly nervous expression.

When Wei Zian knelt down and kowtowed several times before offering tea, which Magu drank, the apprenticeship ceremony was truly completed.

All the forces present knew that this matter was settled and could no longer be changed.

However, they hadn't expected that the Wei family would indeed have Wei Zian apprentice under Magu.

They had thought there might be some hidden agenda.

The head of the Ma family was overjoyed.

With so many witnesses, the master-disciple relationship between Magu and Wei Zian was now firmly established.

From now on, Magu was the personal teacher of the young master of the Wei family, responsible for his instruction.

Similarly, he also had the authority to discipline Wei Zian.

Even in future marriage matters, if Magu wished, he could have a say.

"Congratulations to the young master of the Wei family for finding a good teacher, and congratulations to Master Ma for gaining a fine disciple!" A white and chubby guest stood up and congratulated loudly, "I have a small gift here, a token of my regard. Please accept it, young master."

The guests were initially stunned, then they realized and secretly cursed the old fox.

Their gifts had been given upon entry.

Who knew someone would play this trick?

Presenting the gift in front of Wei Xinghe would surely leave a deeper impression. If he was pleased, it would be a great gain.

"Master Qian, what treasure do you have that you need to present it in front of Master Wei?" Someone joked.

But everyone was indeed curious.

What gift made this usually shrewd Master Qian so confident to present it publicly?

Knowing that in front of so many people, if the gift was not special enough, it would not be showing off but rather making a fool of oneself.

"It's just a small thing, but I'm sure the young master will like it."

Master Qian smiled flatteringly, holding a delicate wooden box about a foot long, and walked forward.

"Really? What is it?" Wei Zian's interest was piqued, looking at the wooden box.

Everyone's eyes were also drawn to the box, their curiosity fully aroused by Master Qian.

Lu Qing was no exception. However, when he focused on Master Qian, a warning instinctively arose in his heart, making him subconsciously activate his ability.

Immediately, his expression changed.

He shouted urgently, "Young Master, be careful!"

At the shout, the first to react was not Wei Zian, but Master Qian.

His flattering smile vanished, replaced by a cold and solemn look.

Bang!

The wooden box shattered, revealing its contents.

It was a sharp black short sword with a glimmer of cold light and a bloodstain on the blade!

At the same time, a powerful and chilling aura erupted from Master Qian, suppressing everyone's spirits.

Grabbing the short sword, his immense strength shattered the bluestone underfoot as he shot towards Wei Zian like an arrow from a bow!
